名師解讀最新版托福OG系列①‖聽力高分段提升策略

托福官方指南

托福官方指南（The Official Guide to the TOEFL），簡稱“托福OG”，于2018年初發行了最新版本，即第5版。愛朗托福團隊第一時間購得此書，帶來最新解讀，分享給大家，幫助考生最大化了解托福，最快速提升分數。托福OG里詳細講解了各科目的題目類型，考點要求以及能力提升方法。

托福OG，把考生的聽力分數分為三個區間：低分檔（0分-14分），中分檔（15分-21分），高分檔（22分-30分）。今天，愛朗托福項目負責人，同時也是托福聽力名師——田學森老師，給大家分析一下聽力22分的托福考生如何在短期內提高分數。

Level: 22

Test takers who receive a score at the HIGH level, as you did, typically understand conversations and lectures in English that present a wide range of listening demands. These demands can include difficult vocabulary (uncommon terms, or colloquial or figurative language), complex grammatical structures, abstract or complex ideas and/or making sense of unexpected or seemingly contradictory information.

YOUR PERFORMANCE

When listening to lectures and conversations like these, test takers at the HIGH level typically can:

• Understand main ideas and important details, whether they are stated or implied;
• Distinguish more important ideas from less important ones;
• Understand how information is being used (for example, to provide evidence for a claim or describe a step in a complex process);
• Recognize how pieces of information are connected (for example, in a cause-and-effect relationship);
• Understand many different ways that speakers use language for purposes other than to give information (for example, to emphasize a point, express agreement or disagreement, or convey intentions indirectly);
• Synthesize information, even when it is not presented in sequence, and make correct inferences on the basis of that information.

ADVICE FOR IMPROVEMENT

Further develop your listening ability with daily practice in listening in English and by challenging yourself with increasingly lengthy listening selections and more complex listening material.

Listen to different kinds of materials on a variety of topics:

• Focus on topics that are new to you.
• Listen to academic lectures and public talks.
• Listen to audio and video material on TV, radio and the Internet.
• Listen to programs with academic content, such as NOVA, BBC and NPR broadcasts.
• Listen to conversations, phone calls and phone recordings.
• Take live and audio-recorded tours (e.g., of museums).

Listen actively:

• Take notes as you listen for main ideas and important details.
• Make predictions about what you will hear next.
• Summarize.
• Write down new words and expressions.

For the more difficult material you have chosen to listen to, listen several times:

• First listen for the main ideas and key details;
• Then listen again to fill in gaps in your understanding; to understand the connections between ideas, the structure of the talk and the speakers’ attitude; and to distinguish fact from opinion.

考生表現

22分數段的考生可以基本理解含有較難詞匯，復雜語法結構，抽象或復雜概念和矛盾性信息的對話和講座。聽此類素材時，該分數段考生的表現是：

• 可以理解主要觀點和重要信息，無論這些信息是明示還是暗示；
• 可以區分主次信息；
• 可以理解信息的用法（比如，作為觀點的論證或描述一個復雜的過程）；
• 可以識別信息是如何連接的（比如，通過因果邏輯關系連接信息）；
• 可以理解講話者表達目的（不是單純給出信息）的各種方式（比如，突出觀點，表達認可/反對，或間接傳達意圖）；
• 可以整合信息（哪怕原文信息順序混亂），可以基于原文正確推理。

OG建議

進一步提升聽力能力，22分數段的考生需要每天聽英語，而且要不斷提高素材的長度和難度。

• 首先要聽各種話題的聽力材料：
• 聽陌生的話題素材；
• 聽學術講座和公眾演說；
• 聽（看）電視、廣播和網絡上的英語錄音或視頻；
• 聽學術類節目比如：NOVA，BBC，NRB等廣播節目；
• 聽各種對話和電話錄音；
• 親自參觀或者聽錄制好的參觀性質的音頻（比如參觀博物館等）。
• 其次，積極主動地聽錄音：
• 聽錄音并記錄主要觀點和重要細節；
• 多預測接下來可能會講什么；
• 做總結；
• 記錄新單詞。
• 此外，對于有一定難度的聽力材料，需要多聽幾遍：
• 先聽出主要觀點和核心細節
• 然后再聽錄音，不斷地完善聽到的內容；聽懂信息之間的關系，聽力素材的結構和講話者的態度；同時需要區分事實和觀點。

田老師點評

托福聽力在22分的考生，會面臨著很大的提分壓力，要做到一心多用，比如，聽錄音時，需要同步理解句子，還要預測下文，分析信息關系，理解講話者態度，聽懂暗示的信息，還要做筆記。說白了，考生需要把自己訓練成一個強大的信息處理器：一堆毫無章法的信息，經過大腦的加工處理，簡化成幾條井然有序的信息。

對于22分數的考生，我給出的最好建議是：不要盲目刷題，一定要保持頭腦清醒，要清楚地分析出自己的問題，如果自己無法分析，就尋求有經驗的老師的幫助，虛心學習訓練方法，刻意運用這些方法并達到自然使用的境界，輔以大量練習，一定會取得理想分數。
