2014年上半年公共英语三级听力指导7
观点态度题
多数作者在撰写文章时都抱着客观的态度,文章的语气一般也是中庸的,但是并非所有
文章都是如此。因此,考生应当能够通过听力资料所提供的信息推断出作者的态度和观点是批评,还是赞扬;是关注,还是冷漠;是恭维,还是嘲讽;是客观描述,还是主观评述等等。
考生应当具备以下能力:理解表示态度、语气等词语;分辨出反映态度、观点的关键词。这些词语通常出现在选项中,当浏览问题时发现类似词语或听到短文中出现类似词语时,考生应立即意识到这是考查作者的观点和态度。如:advisory, historical, approving, cautionary, indifferent, critical等等。
这类题型常见的提问方式如下:
Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward...?
What is the tone of this passage?
What does the passage say about...?
听力部分终于结束了,你是不是觉得学英语真是一件苦差事,需要记大量的东西。其实,做任何事情都是这样的:No pains, no gains. 希望你能通过自己的努力成为a particular student who can make a difference。
最后,衷心地祝愿你:Have a good day!

听力原文
In the next few decades, people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years people won’t worry about running out of gas.
Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F & C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.
Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky.
In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.
But the sky isn’t the limit. In the future, you’ll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon, Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you’ll hear someone say,“The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed.”
答案:1.C 2.B 3.D 4.B
