託福聽力推斷題的應對策略

推斷題是託福聽力的常考題型，考察考生對聽力材料的簡單推理推測。推斷題的出題方式類似託福閱讀：What does the professor imply about……?What can be inferred about…….?是常見形式，基本上只要看到infer、imply等表示“推理”“推斷”意味的單詞就可以判定爲推斷題了。

下面我們結合三道真題來看一下推斷題的具體應對策略。

TPO 1 L1

9. What does the professor imply about the painting of the young woman surrounded by pumpkins?關於一幅女子被南瓜環抱的油畫, 教授暗示了什麼?

One other painting I really want you to look at is of a young woman surrounded by pumpkins. You will notice that the woman’s face is so realistic looking that it’s almost like a photograph. The woman’s nose is a little less than perfect and her hair is kind of messed up. This is realism. But then, the background of the painting, this woman with the pumpkins is wrapped in a blanket of broad thick brushstrokes, and, it’s all kinds of zigzagging brushstrokes and lines, kind of chaotic almost when you look at it close.

第一句我們就找出與題幹一致的信息- 女子被南瓜環抱的油畫。教授先說到南瓜少女畫是現實主義 -你們可以看到女人的臉部特徵十分真實，幾乎像一張照片。在轉折詞But then 後, 教授又描述了背景畫風 -當看的很近的時候，可以發現筆觸和線條有點彎曲，有點混亂 - 跟文章之前提到的印象派所有的特徵是一致的。文中提到一幅女子被南瓜環抱的油畫時, 沒有直接指出背景是那一種畫作風格, 我們只能以文章之前提過的信息, 推斷出答案。

所以透過以上信息, 我們可以總結出, 畫中同時有兩種風格。混合風格。

答案是: It combines Impressionism with Realism 這幅畫結合了現實主義和印象派

TPO 7 L1

10.What does the professor imply about the obligatory scene and the denouement?

關於必要場景和結局, 教授暗示了什麼?

Remember, the obligatory scene gives the audience emotional pleasure. But the denouement offers the audience a logical conclusion. That’s the subtle distinction we need to try very hard to keep in mind.

記住，必要場景給觀衆的是情感愉悅而結局給觀衆的是邏輯結尾。這是我們必須要極力分辨的細微差別。

教授提到必要場景和結局要我們好好記住它們當中微妙(SUBTLE)的差別(DISTINCTION)。但題目中沒有能直接對應上的選項。但我們可以總結一下, 兩件事對於一般人來說是分別不大,但事實上有重大的差別,所以我們可以總結出答桉可能是容易令人混淆。

A. The difference between them might be unclear to some people.

B. Both are useful techniques for developing realistic characters.

C. The denouncement usually occurs within the obligatory scene.

D. The obligatory scene is usually less exciting than the denouncement.

原文中明確指出兩個概念是有區別。但容易令人混淆。因此正確答案，A。

兩個概念的區別對於一些人是不清晰的。

TPO 8 L3

25.What does the professor imply about the invention of eyeglass?

關於眼鏡的發明, 教授暗示了什麼?

So we're pretty sure that glasses were invented in about the late 1200s, well over a hundred years before the printing press. But it's not clear who exactly invented them first or exactly what year. But record shows that they were invented in both Europe and China at about the same time. By the way,we call this “independent discovery”.

Independent discovery means when something is invented in different parts of the world at the same time and it's not as unusual as it sounds. You can look at the timeline charts in the back of your textbook to see when things were invented in different cultures at about the same time to see what I'm talking about.

第一句與題幹對應上後, 教授提到但我們不知道具體是誰在什麼時間最先發明的眼鏡。不過記錄表明歐洲和中國大概在同時期發明了眼鏡。之後就提到這是獨立發現的一種, 然後解釋了獨立發現是指一件東西同時在世界不同地區發明出來。

緊接着說了一句: it's not as unusual as it sounds這不像聽起來那麼的不同尋常。double negative, 所以是正常的,還說到如學生們不相信, 可以翻書看看以往的發明, 也有着同一樣的情況。

所以教授講到眼鏡發明是想讓學生認識到這種獨立發現在歷史上並不罕見。

所以正確答是Its occurrence in different places at approximately the same time is not unusual. 眼鏡在不同地方但差不多時間的出現, 並非不尋常, 所以是正常的。
