20天攻克大学英语四级听力：同义词转述类（Day 11）

　　牛刀小试——同义词转述类概述 
　　同义词转述类是历年四级听力小对话考试中占分值最多的题类，也是测评考生对英语听力综合能力的检验，所以考生在考前应对这种题型多加练习，大致可分为观点态度题、行为活动题和事实状况题。同义词转述，顾名思义是指正确答案与原文相对应或同义词的转述，考生须对原文上下对话语义极其敏感，再来判断正确答案。 
　　观点态度题 2004.1 
　　M: I think you’d better find another partner. I love table tennis, but I don’ think I’m improving. 
　　W: Look, Paul, it’s still too early to quit. Nobody expects you to be a superstar. Just keep going and you’ll get the hang of it. 
　　Q: What does the woman mean? 
　　A) The man should not dream of being a superstar. 
　　B) The man didn’t practice hard enough. 
　　C) The man should find a new partner. 
　　D) The man should not give up. 
　　【解析】 通过四个选项可以断定这题是在考“the man”应该怎么样，所以应注意女方的建议极为重要。原文中女士指出“It’s still too early to quit”（现在放弃还早）和“Just keep going and you’ll get the hang of it”（应该继续努力，会成功的）和答案D相对应，所以选D，其他选项都与原文不符。 
　　行为活动题 2003.6 
　　M: I haven’t got my scores on the GRE test yet. Do you think I should call to make inquiries? 
　　W: There’s no hurry. The test scores are released at least 8 weeks after the test.
　　Q: What does the woman advise the man to do? 
　　A) Take the GRE test again in 8 weeks. 
　　B) Call to check his scores. 
　　C) Be Patient and wait. 
　　D) Inquire when the test scores are released. 
　　【解析】 女士在回答男士是否应该询问时，提到“there’s no hurry”表示不用着急的状态，然后解释考试分数至少在8周之后才会通知，C为相对应的选项（耐心等等）。 
　　事实状况题 2003.1 
　　M: You really seem to enjoy your literature class? 
　　W: You’re right. It has opened a new world for me. I’m exposed to the thoughts of some of the world’s best writers. I’ve never read so much in my life. 
　　Q: What does the woman mean? 
　　A) She’s learned a lot from the literature class. 
　　B) She’s written some books about world classics. 
　　C) She met some of the world’s best writers. 
　　D) She’s just back from a trip round the world. 
　　【解析】 选项中都提到“she”，很明显是考对话中woman的状况，应留意女士的对话。原文中男士提到女士看上去“enjoy your literature class”，女士在回答中“You’re right, It has opened a new world of me（进入全新的世界）、exposed to the thoughts of…（了解世界大师的思想）、never read so much（从来没读过这么多）”反应女士受益匪浅，所以选A。并没有提到B写书、C亲自见到大师、D周游世界，都应予以排除。
