1、托福听力备考中如何发现自身真实问题 托福听力备考中如何发现自身真实问题?合理跟读解决多个困境。今天给大家带来托福听力备考中如何发现自身真实问题，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。托福听力备考中如何发现自身真实问题?合理跟读解决多个困境托福听力的听不懂到底包含了多少问题?说到托福听力，听不懂似乎成为了一种万能的错误低分原因，凡是对听力素材中有地方有信息没听清，那就都算是听不懂。然而导致这种听不懂，实际上可能的原因却是多种多样的，考生想要真正发现自己的问题和弱点，进行针对性地突破提升，就需要明确自身听不懂的真实原因所在才行。想要检测出自己听不懂的原因，最为简单直接的方法是听写。具
2、体的测试方法是根据考生自身当前的听力水平，以段落为单位播放听力素材，在播放过程中考生需要尽可能的进行记录，把自己听到的信息尽量完整地记下来。每完成一段听力的听写，大家根据记录结果统计一下出错或是遗漏的情况，在进行5-10次这样的听写后，大家就可以从统计情况中找到自身听不懂的具体原因了。1. 专业词汇听不懂对于托福考试的素材选择，无论是听力还是阅读，ETS都会强调一个不考背景的底线，也就是考生无论是什么专业，对于托福考试各个题型中给出的素材都应该是具备基本的理解能力的。因此大家不要太过把听不懂的责任怪罪到托福听力素材中有什么难度太高的专业词汇，实际上这种情况更多的是考生自身缺乏对各个学科基本知识
3、的认知，或是没有能力在分辨不出少数专业词汇的情况下从听力素材上下文中找到其定义解释。也就是说，其实因为听力中出现专业词汇而听不懂的情况从理论上来讲是基本不存在的。这一点在阅读中也是同样。所以大家如果说自己是因为专业词汇出现而听不懂，那么真实问题其实更多是在于自身的听力理解能力有问题，需要进一步挖掘原因才行。2. 特定话题听不懂既然不是专业词汇听不懂，那么就如同上文所言，很大可能是考生缺乏对特定学科的基本认识所导致。托福考试听力阅读等各个科目在*话题的选择上的确有较为广泛的涉猎，很多大家平时不感兴趣的冷门话题都有可能出现，而对于这些话题缺乏了解，没有积累这类话题最基础的词汇，因而导致特定话题听不
4、懂，这样的情况的确是比较常见的。之所以会出现这类问题，简单来说就是ETS这群老外出题者认为考托福考生都应该知道的基本常识，实际参加考试的我们并不知道，这种认知上的差异造成了大家听不懂的情况。对于这种情况，结合托福出题中不同话题的出现频率，进行一些基本学科知识和词汇的积累补充是很有必要的。3. 句子听不懂除了话题听不懂，很多同学也会发现自己句子听不懂，可能有些同学事后看听力素材的文本资料，会发现自己当成阅读来看都能理解，*句子里的每个单词也都认识，为何到了听力中组合在一起的时候就听不懂了呢?这类听不懂，认为可能的原因有语法逻辑以及语音现象方面的原因。从语法逻辑的角度来说，托福或者说英语对于一些意
5、思的表达方式和中文是存在差异的，比如语句顺序上的前置后置等等;从语音现象的角度来看，连读轻读弱读等发音方式，也会让缺乏经验的同学难以习惯和适应，一不留神可能整个句子就过去了而自己还没听出个大概。4. 词汇听不懂而最后一种常见的听不懂情况就是词汇听不懂，如同上面所说，如果是专业词汇听不懂，实际上更多的可能性要特定话题的问题，而如果不是专业词汇，而是一些相对常见的词汇没听懂，那么问题就很简单了，你的托福词汇量需要补足。托福考试对词汇的要求是很高的，缺乏足够的词汇量，考生在任何一个题型中都会遇到许多困难，而听力听不懂也只是其中的表现之一。解决方法当然也很简单，提升词汇量就行了，一方面结合词汇资料特别
6、是高频词汇类资料进行整体提升，另一方面每次遇到听不懂的生词都注意当场收集整理背诵出来，双管齐下词汇听不懂的问题自然能得到解决。以上听不懂问题都可以靠跟读解决无论大家听不懂的具体原因是上述原因中的哪一种，通过合理的跟读训练其实都能得到解决，因为跟读的最终目标就是让大家能够脱离文字并尽可能的模仿原文的语音语调。所以如果是词汇听不懂，无论是不是专业词汇，大家都能在跟读训练过程中得到积累，并通过反复发音加强对词汇的音形结合记忆;如果是句子听不懂，大家在跟读时也能通过从读不顺到越读越顺的过程梳理和适应英文的逻辑思维方式，并最终做到模仿，同时由于跟读要求对语音语调的完全模仿，不熟悉语音现象的问题也能被克服
7、。可以说跟读正是解决听不懂多种原因的万能灵药。总而言之，托福听力听不懂并不是大家做题不顺考试失利的遮羞布，考生应该对听不懂的原因具体分析对症下药，才能更有效率地提升实力考出更好的分数，而通过跟读来达成这一目标也是相当实用的方法，希望大家能够通过*内容学习并掌握。2020托福听力练习：沥青路自主融冰技术Every winter some 20 million tons of salt are dumped on Americas roads.The sodium chloride melts ice or prevents its formation, helping to prevent ac
