例1 剑7 Test 2 Q 34
A German study showed there was greater ‘mixed handedness’ in musicianswho
A started playing instruments in early youth
B play a string instrument such as the violin
C practice a great deal on their instrument
思路透析:题干中包括greater这个明显的比较级,提醒考生们注意的是,在实际的听力中,比较级的用词可以发生同义转换,但是这种比较关系的表达一定在听力文本中是存在的,所以要特别关注在听力内容中比较的表达方式,答案就在其中。这与填空题是一致的,在填空题中如若发现比较表达方式,那我们可以把它当特殊关键词来对待,耐心等待听力素材中的比较表达后即可得到答案。 实际做题:在实际做题中,当听到Germany study 时确定做题位置。
原文:keyboard players had high levels of mixed handedness, whereas stringplayers like violinists strongly favored one hand. Also those who startedyounger were more mixed handed.
解题:从原文中我们不难看出,小提琴演奏者的用手习 惯比较倾向于某一侧。所以排除B.紧接着出现的整句话里出现了两处比较级,more mixedhanded 与greater mixed handedness 形成同义转换,younger 与选项A中的early youth对应,所以正确答案为A.
例2 剑7 Test 1 Q 12
The company has most camping sites in
A France
B Italy
C Switzerland
思路透析:题干中包含有most sites 这个最高级的表达方式,故做好准备去听比较关系同义转换即可得到答案。
实际做题:当听到300 sites 以及Italy 等信息后可以定位做题位置
原文:In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusiveuse of . France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have aproject to expand into Switzerland.
解题:不难发现majority 和most 之间存在同义转换,故答案为A.
例3 剑2 Test 3 Q 31
The driest continent is
A Australia
B Africa
C Antarctica
思路透析:题干中有driest 这个最高级,要高度注意比较关系的同义转换。
实际做题:听到Australia 后确定做题位置。
原文: As I have said, Australia is a dry continent, second only to Antarcticain its lack of rainfall.
解题:不难发现答案是C,但值得我们注意的是,second only to 是一种特殊的比较表达方式。
总体来说,第一类直接比较的题目是最容易解答的,只要听准同样的比较表达方式即可;第二类间接比较的题目难度也不大,关键在于掌握major,majority,main,mainly等提示词并注意它们之间互相同意转换即可;第三类隐含比较是比较难的,因为题干里虽然无比较,但是选项里有比较的特点,而且实际听力中又容易出现否定词搭配比较表达出现的形式,使学生的反映时间和速度受到极大的影响,大大降低了解题正确率。
