出现位置: IBT听力中的修辞题通常出现在课堂演讲(lectures)部分,在2个长对话,4个课堂演讲中,一般占5至6题。 出题形式: 修辞题通常都是以特殊疑问词开头的特殊疑问句,例如: Why does the professor say this?(询问使用了何种修辞手段) A: To encourage the students to think about the issue under a bigger context. B: To elicit an answer from the students. C: To compare two different things figuratively to engage his students. D: To describe an imaginative situation. How dies the professor illustrate his point about ___? (询问谈话人是如何创造了某种修辞手段的) A: by comparing X to Y B: by giving an example of X Why does the professor say so? (节选了演讲中某一带有修辞用法的部分,让考生回答为什么谈话人用此修辞) A: To point out a flaw B: To repeat a point C: To define an important term D: To exemplify a key point 解题技巧: 1. 听原文时即可适时判断谈话人的真实意图,谈话人某句讲话修辞手法运用明显之时,往往就是考点出现之处。 2. 熟悉常用修辞手段,如比喻(又分明喻,暗喻等),夸张,比拟,例证,借代,反问,反复,设问等等。 3. 注意根据上线问和谈话气氛来综合回答问题,不要脱离主题凭空猜测谈话人的修辞意图。 举例说明: Professor: Through much of the last century, America’s faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. Narrator: Listen again to a part of the lecture. Then answer the question. Professor: …Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. Why does the professor say this? (责任编辑:admin) |
