高云鸿老师：托福听力主旨大意题详解

托福听力的主旨大意题，顾名思义，就是考托福听力材料的主要内容是什么。比如考生可能会被问到学术讲座的中心思想，或者对话的主旨大意或者谈话意图。下面狄邦培训高云鸿老师就从托福听力主旨大意题的三个方面为大家详解。

一、托福听力的主旨大意题一般出现在哪里？

该题型一般都会在每个听力材料的第一题出现。西方思维很重要的一点就是开门见山，把中心思想放在前面再加以阐述。相反，中国人喜欢把中心思想放在最后起强调作用，这点考生一定要注意。所以考生在听听力材料的时候，一定要一开始就集中注意力，明确文章的中心思想，以便更好融入接下来对话或者讲座的理解。

二、托福听力的主旨大意题提问方式是什么？

对话和讲座的提问方式大同小异，可以参考以下一些提问方式，比如：

对话：Why does the student go to see the professor?

Why does the student visit the register’s office?

What are the speakers mainly discussing?

讲座：What is the main topic of the lecture?

What is the lecture mainly about?

三、托福听力的主旨大意题答题技巧是什么？

1.掌握一些有效的信号词是提高答题正确率的必要条件。下面我们就一起来分析对话和讲座的信号词分别有哪些：

对话：---Anyway, the reason why I am here is ….

--- I was wondering if…

--- I was just coming by to tell you…

--- I wanted to know if I could…

讲座：--- Today, we will continue to talk about…

--- Today we’ll be focusing on…

--- Today I’d like to talk about…

--- We’re going to discuss…

考生在听到这些信号词的时候一定要提高警惕，提醒自己这些词后面的内容就是考点，这样可以有效提高听力答题的正确率。

2. 听高频率重复词语或者同一范畴的词。

比如一段对话材料开头如下：”At the bookstore, the total cost all these books is over 200 dollars…all I would be able to get would be the new ones, which are way more expensive. So, I

was thinking about saving some money by not buying some. “

考题：Why does the student go to see the professor?

A. To get information about local libraries

B. To ask about prices at different bookstores

C. To discuss different versions of a textbook

D. To talk about ways to save money for class

答案为D。根据一些重复的高频词或者同一范畴的词可以推断出大意，比如over 200 dollars, expensive, save money等。这些词语都在围绕“钱”来讲，而最后的“I was thinking about saving money”就刚好首尾呼应，很容易就把答案确定出来了。
