Whatanadventure!PartⅣ

Listening——如何突破故事類獨(dú)白聽在英語諸多交際功能中占主導(dǎo)地位。聽力測(cè)試最后一段一般為獨(dú)白，它對(duì)考生的記憶理解能力要求較高，題材涉及歷史、文化、新聞時(shí)事和人物等方面。它既要求考生掌握材料的主旨大意，也要求獲取有效的事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，并根據(jù)材料進(jìn)行簡單的推理。這道題如果做得得心應(yīng)手，考生就會(huì)有拔開云霧見日月的感覺，就可以滿懷信心地解答筆試部分的題了。故事類獨(dú)白具有如下主要特點(diǎn)：(1)經(jīng)常將不定的時(shí)間，或虛構(gòu)的、不確定的人物置于故事的開頭，考生聽到開頭的一、兩句話，便可確定文章的題材為故事。(2)經(jīng)常通過人物的語言來交代事情的經(jīng)過、情節(jié)的發(fā)展和人物的思想活動(dòng)。這些語言對(duì)理解故事的情節(jié)和人物的思想感情起了很重要的作用，因此也就常常成為考查的重點(diǎn)。(3)故事不僅僅向聽者講述已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情，更重要的是通過豐富的想像力和一些不同尋常的情節(jié)給人留下風(fēng)趣幽默、耐人尋味的結(jié)尾，這就是故事的內(nèi)涵，也常常是最后一個(gè)問題的提問內(nèi)容?！镜漕}印證】(2018·全國卷Ⅲ)17.AtwhatagedidEmilystartlearningballet?

[事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)“IstartedstudyingballetwhenIwassixyearsold.”可知，Emily在六歲時(shí)開始學(xué)習(xí)芭蕾舞的。故選B。]18.C

[事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)“preferredcontemporarydance”，“movedtoTorontotoattendtheprogram”可知，Emily喜歡學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)代舞，所以搬家去了多倫多參加訓(xùn)練項(xiàng)目，故選C。]19.C

[事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)“Ifoundmyselfincreasinglyunwillingtodragmyselftodanceperformances”可知，Emily失去了學(xué)習(xí)興趣，所以退出了，故選C。]20.A

[推理判斷題。根據(jù)“ButitmakesmehappythinkthatI’llneverhavetogotoanothertrainingsessionagain.”可知，沒有再次參加訓(xùn)練，使得Emily很高興。故選A。]【聽力原文】MynameisEmily.Ihadbeenadancerforquitealongtime.IstartedstudyingballetwhenIwassixyearsold.BythetimeIwasnine，Iwasdancingfivedaysaweek.WhenIwaseighteen，IdecidedthatIreallypreferredcontemporarydanceandthatIwantedtodoitprofessionally.SoIappliedsuccessfullyforthetrainingprogramattheschoolofTorontoDanceTheatre，andmovedtoTorontotoattendtheprogram.ThatwastheperiodoftimeIenjoyedmostinToronto.Igraduatedonscholarshipanddancedprofessionallyfortenyears.Butafterall，thoseyears，Ifoundthatdancewasgraduallybecomingsomethingthatfeltlikemoreofaburdenthanajoy.Ifoundmyselfincreasinglyunwillingtodragmyselftodanceperformances，soIqui
