【六届通译杯比赛辅导】之填空题3

不知道同学们在听英语新闻的时候有没有遇见过这种情况，在听的时候感觉自己每句话都听懂了，但是当一篇新闻播放完发现自己把所听的内容全部忘记了。其实这种现象在练习听力初期是很常见的，出现的原因就是同学们在听的时候大脑是处于被动(negative)接收的状态的，并没有主动地(positive)去接收所听到的信息，今天我们就来一起探讨一下真正听懂英文新闻的小诀窍：

1. 正如昨天所说，一段新闻的重点都是在第一句，所以同学们要在新闻一开始就打起十二分的精神，一定要抓住新闻的主旨。

2. 听的时候注意力集中，边听边分析新闻中的主要信息，也是就时间、地点、发生的事件。

3. 不要把精力放在个别单词上，很多同学只要碰到一个听不懂的单词就会放弃后面的内容一直纠结这个单词，这个是不可取的，我们一定要把注意力放在新闻整体的构架上。

4. 听完一段之后，暂停录音，立即复述刚才所听到，看能记得多少内容。

5. 如果新闻过长，可以在纸上记录一些要点信息辅助自己的记忆。

如此，大家会发现，如果在新闻之后还能用自己的语言将新闻内容组织起来，就说明这篇新闻你是用心听、真正听懂了的。希望大家以后在以后的听力练习中都能将negative listening转变为positive listening.

最后附听力本次口译大赛的听力填空模拟题供大家巩固练习。

【练习1】

Since this is your first year in college here, I'd like to give you some advice on (1)        your time.  First of all, most of you are full-time students who have to take at least three courses each semester.  You'll have many (2)        during the semester, including readings to be done every day, summary papers and oral reports that may need to be presented in class, and reports that need to be written.  At the end of each semester, you may have finals and term papers due all in the same week. All of this can cause a lot of (3)       , especially if you are not used to this system.

One of the effective ways of getting more work done under stress is to make a 'To Do' list every day.  Keep it handy, and use it as a (4)       to help you as you go through the day.  Here is how you do it: Get a special notebook that you use just for time management.  Use one piece of paper at a time.  Put the heading 'To Do' on the top of the paper for the day, then list those items you need to work on.  As you (5)         an item, cross it off, but keep adding items as they (6)      to you.  You can write down as many items as you wish, but the important thing is to set priorities and work on the items according to their (7)        and their importance.  Do the most urgent or important items first, one at a time, and concentrate on what you are doing.  Finish one item before you go on to the next.  Don't worry about the (8)          things on the list.  You can't do it all at once.  By setting priorities, and doing things in order of priority, you'll save time that you might otherwise have spent on unimportant things, leaving the important things undone.

I hope you'll get started with your 'To Do' list at once.  And I hope you'll adjust to this new study environment quickly.  If you find yourself (9)         with work, please come in and see me.  I' m here to help you.  I have office hours available to students from one to four every afternoon in the (10)         Building.

1. managing
2. assignments
3. stress
4. guide
5. complete
6. occur
7. urgency
8. unaccomplished
9. overwhelmed
10. Administration

【练习2】
So you made lasagna last night, and it was (1)     . You saved the leftovers by wrapping aluminum foil over the top of the pan, and putting it in the (2)     . When you get hungry today, you go to look for that lasagna, but it looks like the lasagna was getting hungry too!

It's eaten tiny holes in the aluminum (3)      that was covering it. Why does this happen? A listener asked this question and we'll find the answer on today's moment of science. There are really two things (4)        for those holes in the aluminum foil: the acidic nature of the lasagna and some curious (5)        of aluminum.

Lasagna gets most of it's (6)      from the tomatoes in its sauce. Almost everything you eat is at least slightly acidic, but tomatoes are especially so. This acid wouldn't be a problem for a glass (7)      , or stainless steel, or plastic wrap, or for most of the materials we use to store and prepare food. Aluminum, though, is especially (8)       to acid.

Here's why. Most metals form a protective layer on their surface called an oxide layer. Aluminum forms an (9)      layer too, but it is very thin, allowing the tomato's acid to easily break through. This lets the tomato sauce dissolve the aluminum, and it creates grey or black chemicals on top of the lasagna that taste very bad. The same thing can happen if you use aluminum (10)       for acidic sauces. Sauce made in an aluminum pot will be grayer and not as tasty as sauce made in other cookware.

 

参考答案：
1. delicious
2. fridge
3. foil
4. responsible
5. properties
6. acid
7. container
8. vulnerable
9. oxide
10. cookware
