考点
1. 段落题语气做题法-要点
 语速降低处多有考点――引出总结
 细微停顿后多有考点――引出观点或强调要点
 老师的指令有明显语气特征:please remember…, notice tha…t, please bear in mind tha…t, pay special attention to…
 单词重读处多有考点――引出或反驳观点的动词 argue/doubt;形容词/副词最高级;转折词:but, however, unfortunately, on the contrary; 程度副词:mostly, mainly, completely, extremely
 师生间表达态度或倾向性意见时往往有明显语气特征:赞赏/否定/怀疑/不确定
 回答时如有明显升调要特别留意(升调多偏怀疑或否定)
 不断重复的词或概念多与主题有密切关系,重读

2. 段落中提到的建议必出考点:
建议:Why don’t you do sth/ You’d better do sht/ be better off doing/ How about…?/ What about…?/ You might do sth?/ You might want to do sth/ You should do sth/ It couldn’t hurt to do sth (表肯定:为什么呢?Why not?;表否定:何必呢,何苦呢 Why do sth)
责备:Why didn’t you do sth/ Why no do sth?
 委婉与其表建议:Maybe/ perhaps/ probably you should / I suppose you could…
 虚拟语气表建议:If I were you, I would do sth
 祈使句:Just+ V.
 发语词后跟建议:tell you what, / you know what,/ guess what

3. 涉及推导的四类问题:
 推论(inferences):推出弦外之音,文字背后隐藏的信息
典型问题:What can be inferred about…?
 预测(prediction):推测即将发生的事情(尾巴题)
典型问题:What will the student to next?
 释义(paraphrase):用不同的词重述同样的意思(重听回答)(Delta 教材250页6)
典型问题:What does the professor mean when he asks this?
 总结(conclusion):Delta 教材250页

4. 尾巴题:
通常针对段落结尾发问,可能问到两种问题:
两种问题
全篇的结论/观点 教授或学生对某事的总体评价/接下去干什么
典型举例
What can be inferred from the discussion?
What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
What is/are the professor /students overall assessment of the…?
What will the student most likely do next?
注意事项
屏幕进度条指向末尾时,注意总结性的话
注意抓住教授/学生在段落结尾表示态度的语气词或句子
抓好段落结尾的建议是关键,如Why don’t you/we do something?之类的建议句式
