剑桥雅思9听力：Test3雅思听力Section3解析

　　Section3

　　TUTOR:Ah Caroline ...

　　come on in.

　　Sit down.

　　CAROLINE:Thanks.

　　TUTOR:So how's the dissertation planning going?

　　CAROLINE:Well Dr. Schulmann, I’m still having a lot of trouble deciding on a title.

　　TUTOR:Well, that's perfectly normal at this stage.

　　And this is what your tutorials will help you to do.

　　CAROLINE:Right.

　　TUTOR:What we'll do is jot down some points that might help you in your decision.

　　First of all, you have chosen your general topic area, haven't you?

　　CAROLINE:Yes, it's the fishing industry.

　　TUTOR:Oh yes, that was one of the areas you mentioned.

　　Now, what aspects of the course are you good at?

　　CAROLINE:Well.

　　I think I'm coping well with statistics, and I'm never bored by it.

　　TUTOR:Good.

　　Anything else?

　　CCAROLINE:Well, I found computer modelling fascinating - I have no problem following what's being taught, whereas quite a few of my classmates find it difficult.

　　TUTOR:Well, that's very good.

　　Do you think these might be areas you could bring into your dissertation?

　　CAROLINE:Oh yes, if possible.

　　It's just that I'm having difficulty thinking how I can do that.

　　You see I feel I don't have sufficient background information.

　　TUTOR:I see.

　　Well, do you take notes?

　　CAROLINE: I’m very weak at note-taking.

　　My teachers always used to say that.

　　TUTOR:Well, I think you really need to work on these weaknesses before you go any further.

　　CAROLINE:What do you suggest?

　　TUTOR:Well, I can go through the possible strategies with you and let you decide where to go from there.

　　CAROLINE:Okay, thanks.

　　TUTOR:Well, some people find it helpful to organise peer-group discussions — you know, each week a different person studies a different topic and shares it with the group.

　　CAROLINE:Oh right.

　　TUTOR: It really helps build confidence, you know, having to present something to others.

　　CAROLINE:I can see that.

　　TUTOR: The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same ideas ...

　　they keep being repeated in all the dissertations.

　　CAROLINE:Okay.

　　TUTOR: You could also try a service called 'Student Support'.

　　It's designed to give you a structured programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills.

　　CAROLINE:Sounds good.

　　TUTOR:Yes, unfortunately there are only a few places.

　　But it's worth looking into.

　　CAROLINE:Yes, of course.

　　I know I've got to work on my study skills.

　　TUTOR:And then there are several study skills books you can consult.

　　CAROLINE:Right.

　　TUTOR:They'll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too general.

　　CAROLINE:Yes, that's what I've found.

　　TUTOR:Other than that I would strongly advise quite simple ideas like using a card index.

　　CAROLINE:Well, yes, I've never done that before.

　　TUTOR:It's simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space.

　　Another thing I always advise is don't just take your notes and forget about them.

　　Read everything three times - that'll really fix them in your mind.

　　CAROLINE:Yes, I can see it'd take discipline but...

　　TUTOR:Well, if you establish good study skills at this stage they'll be with you all your life.

　　CAROLINE:Oh yes, I completely agree.

　　It’s just that I don't seem to be able to discipline myself.

　　I need to talk things over.

　　TUTOR:Well, we'll be continuing these tutorials of course.

　　Let's arrange next month's now.

　　Let's see, I can see you virtually any time during the week starting 22nd January.

　　CAROLINE:What about the 24th?

　　I'm free in the afternoon.

　　TUTOR:Sorry.

　　I'm booked then.

　　What about the following day?

　　CAROLINE:Thursday?

　　I can make the morning.

　　TUTOR:Fine, we'll go for the 25th then.

　　CAROLINE:That's great, thanks.

　　Question 21

　　答案：fishing industry

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: What we'll do is jot down some points that might help you in your dissertation. First of all, you have chosen your general topic area, haven't you? Caroline: Yes, it's the fishing industry.

　　解题思路：本题题干出现 topic 一词，在原文重现。之后提及 it’s the fishing industry。

　　Question 22

　　答案：statistics

　　定位原文：scripts: Caroline: Well, I think I'm coping well with the statistics, and I'm never bored by it.

　　解题思路：题干词 strength 在原文中被替换为 cope well with, 指某方面应付得了，处理得好。答案直接给出，但需要理解以上词汇及短语才能判断信息相关。

　　Question 23

　　答案：note-taking

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: I see. Well, do you take notes? Caroline: I'm very weak at note-taking. My teachers always used to say that.

　　解题思路：题干中的 weakness 为名词，原文出现 I’m very weak at note-taking。 be weak at 意为“不擅长”。

　　Question 24

　　答案：confidence

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: It really helps build confidence, you know, having to present something to others.

　　解题思路：迅速扫描已知信息后判断本题信息应该是关于 peer group discussion 的好处的。原文提及 peer group 可以进行定位，然后通过 helpful 一词可判断 confidence 指参加此类活动的积极影响。

　　Question 25

　　答案：ideas

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same ideas. They keep being repeated in all the dissertations.

　　解题思路：本题在原文中的答案与第 24 题的答案距离近，需要对词汇很熟悉才能迅速作出反应。原文中的 drawback 替换题干中的 problem，题干与原文均出现了 the same，之后立即给出 idea 一词，本题较容易。

　　Question 26

　　答案：student support

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: You could also try a service called "Student Support". It's designed to give you a structured programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills.

　　解题思路：本题题干及原文均出现 service 一词，定位直接，无混淆信息。

　　Question 27

　　答案：places

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: Yes, unfortunately there are only a few places. But it's worth looking into.

　　解题思路：本题需要理解 unfortunately 一词指不好的方面，对应题干中的 problems;紧接着提及 only a few places (名额有限)。

　　Question 28

　　答案：general

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: They'll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too general. Caroline: Yes, that's what I've found.

　　解题思路：此空左边单元格已知信息 reference 在原文重现，定位较为直接。且原文直接说明 the problem is,未进行 任何替换，too 之后的信息为答案。

　　Question 29

　　答案：3 times

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: It's simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space. Another thing I always advise is don't just take your notes and forget about them. Read everything three times. That'll really fix them in your mind.

　　解题思路：本题在读题时应该进行完善的预测。Read all notes 空格处所需词性可能为副词或时间状语等。否则较难在原文中找出对应信息。

　　Question 30

　　答案：25

　　定位原文：scripts: Tutor: Well, we'll be continuing these tutorials of course. Let's arrange next month's now. Let's see, I can see you virtually any time during the week starting 22nd January. Caroline: What about the 24th? I'm free in the afternoon. Tutor: Sorry, I'm booked then. What about the following day? Caroline: Thursday? I can make the morning. Tutor: Fine, we'll go for the 25th then. Caroline: That's great, thanks.

　　解题思路：本题可以在读题时预测需要填入具体的日期，原文中共出现三个日期，前两者在提出后均被否决，最后出现的为正确答案。
