【雅思培训-听力】不再“跪着”做完Section 3

很多实考过的烤鸭都对会Section 3望而生畏，由于现在此部分一般以全选择出现，但Section 4却多是全填空，因此不少学生在考后反映S4比S3要容易，而且自己是“跪着”做完整个Section 3的。所以，本文将和各位烤鸭们一起探讨如何应对全选择题的S3，让大家不要在这部分中从头“跪”到尾。

       我们将以C9T2S3为例：

       Self-Access Centre

21    Students want to keep the Self-Access Centre because

A    they enjoy the variety of equipment.

B    they like being able to work on their own.

C    it is an important part of their studies.

22    Some teachers would prefer to

A    close the Self-Access Centre.

B    move the Self-Access Centre elsewhere.

C    restrict access to the Self-Access Centre.

23    The students’ main concern about using the library would be

A    the size of the library.

B    difficulty in getting help.

C    the lack of materials.

24    The Director of Studies is concerned about

A    the cost of upgrading the centre.

B    the lack of space in the centre.

C    the difficulty in supervising the centre.

 在听题之前，我们需要审题：划出题中的关键词，以此方便考生们在实际听题时进行定位。然而，很多学生会问：“读不完题怎么办？”对于阅读速度不够快的同学，建议各位先读题干再读选项，起码你得知道别人在问什么，这样也能在听题时有针对性地找答案，而非像只无头苍蝇似的不知所措。当然，最有效的解决方法必然是提高自己的阅读速度、扩大词汇量以及夯实语法基础。

第21题题干关键词：because (Self-Access Centre在题中反复出现并不能帮助定位)。选项关键词：equipment; on their own (注意可能会同义替换，烤鸭们在平时需要做积累); part; studies

第22题题干关键词：teachers。选项关键词：close; move; restrict (同样需要思考同义替换)

第23题题干关键词：main concern（知道concern = worry）; library。选项关键词：size; help; materials

第24题题干关键词：Director of Studies。选项关键词：cost; space; supervising the centre（思考supervising的同义替换）

以上就是大家在听题前要做的准备工作，只有在平日练习时用上这样的审题方法，才能在实考中迅速完成。

以下是相关的听力原文：

 PAM: Hi Jun. As you know, I’ve asked you here today to discuss the future of our Self-Access Centre. We have to decide what we want to do about this very important resource for our English language students. So, can you tell me what the students think about this?

JUN: Well, from the students’ point of view, we would like to keep it. The majority of students say that they enjoy using it because it provides a variation on the classroom routine and Q21 they see it as a pretty major component of their course, but we would like to see some improvements to the equipment, particularly the computers; there aren’t enough for one each at the moment and we always have to share.

题干中的because在原文中重现了，不管是作为关键词还是信号词，其后出现的内容即和答案相关。同学们哪怕不认识component，也可将course和studies对上号。

 PAM: Well yes, the teachers agree that it is a very valuable resource but one thing we have noticed is that a lot of the students are using it to check their personal emails. We don’t want to stop you students using it, but we think the computers should be used as a learning resource, not for emails. Q22 Some of us also think that we could benefit a lot more by relocating the Self-Access Centre to the main University library building. How do you think the students would feel about that, Jun?

JUN:  Well, the library is big enough to incorporate the Self-Access Centre, but it wouldn’t be like a class activity anymore. Q23 Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice. I’m sure there would be plenty of things to do but we really need teachers to help us choose the best activities.

原文中出现22题关键词teachers，其后出现两个but，考生们可将它们之后的内容和选项进行比较，当不能选出答案时，切勿着急，耐心往后听。很快又跟出also think两个信号词，其后出现relocating，帮助大家选出正确答案。

 23题出现worry这个替换词，其后出现答案。但有些烤鸭也许不能完全抓住，不要着急，在此之后的but及help也能选出正确答案。

 JUN: Yes, but I think the students would be much happier keeping the existing set-up; they really like going to the Self-Access Centre with their teacher and staying together as a group to do activities. If we could just improve the resources and facilities, I think it would be fine. Is the cost going to be a problem?PAM: It’s not so much the expense that I’m worried about, and we’ve certainly got room to do it, but Q24 it’s the problem of timetabling a teacher to be in there outside class hours. If we’re going to spend a lot of money on equipment and resources, we really need to make sure that everything is looked after properly. Anyway, let’s make some notes to see just what needs doing to improve the Centre.

信号词but能帮助考生们正确定位答案。然而，对于同义替换掌握得一般的同学，本题可以用排除法解决。通过not, expense及got room能排除掉答案A和B。

根据以上的例题，相信同学们对于解决Section 3的选择题应该是有点感悟和心得了，那么在练习时要学会使用技巧和思考考点，千万不要拼尽全力地理解每一句话。记得用上关键词和信号词，同时也应在做完题之后进行同义替换的整理，只有准备充分了，才能在考场上胸有成竹、从容面对那想“吓死人的”选择题。
