考前冲刺——中口LC之Talksandconversations部分详解.docx

考前冲刺中口LC之Talksandconversations部分详解陆丹艳【解题技巧】中级口译考试中的段落理解是考生比较熟悉的一个题型，在此部分中考生将会听到三篇对话和两篇段落，依次交替出现。在每篇文章后，都会听到4个问题，要求考生根据问题，从给予的4个选项中选出正确的答案。这部分题型一共有5篇文章，时间较长，语速相对比较稳定，这就会导致在下午考这个题型时，学生很容易有走神的情况出现。而根据历年来真题可总结，考题题型往往却是以细节题居多，所以考生对于那些细节很容易一晃而过没有注意到。为了应对这样的情况，考生需不断在选项旁边做出相对应的记录，既可以防止走神，也可以对细节题有一个更好的把握。以此部分中出现与数字相关的选项为例。每一个数字对应何种信息是考生必须关注的。如果选项中四个数字都是年份，则在听录音时，要关注每个年份发生的不同事件等；如果选项中四个数字都是价格，则要关注价格所对应的不同信息,是之前的价格还是之后的价格等。又比如说，在此部分中会出现正误判断题，要求考生选出4个选项中唯一正确或是错误的选项，那么当每一选项内容在原文中出现时，就要做好相关的记录，以做排除法之用。【真题解析】下面我们就以2011年9月LC的段落理解部分为例，帮助大家熟悉题型并分析解题思路。2.TalksandConversationsDireCtiOns:Inthispartofthetest,youwillhearseveralshorttalksandconversations.Aftereachofthese,youwillhearafewquestions.ListencarefullybecauseyouwillhearthetalkorconversationandquestionsONLYONCE.Whenyouhearaquestion,readthefouranswerchoicesandchoosethebestanswertothatquestion.ThenwritetheletteroftheansweryouhavechoseninthecorrespondingspaceinyourANSWERBOOKLET.Questions11-1411. （八）Becausehiscarbrokedown.(B) Becausehisregistrationwasoverdue.(C) Becausehehadabrokentooth.(D) Becausehecouldnotfindhishistorybook.12. （八）Heisacompanymanager.(B) Heisarepairman.(C) Heisataxidriver.(D) Heisadentist.13. （八）At9o'clock.(B) At10o'clock.(C) At12o'clock.(D) Attwointheafternoon.14. （八）Hehadtocallataxicompany.(B) Hehadtoeatandsleepinhisoffice.(C) Hehadtocomesomeothertime.(D) Hehadtoreportthemurdercase.Questions15-1815. （八）Atourwhosepriceincludestickets,mealsandaccommodation.(B) Atravelarrangementthattakespeopletomorethanoneplace.(C) Atripthatcoversadistanceofmorethan50miles.(D) Atouristgroupthatconsistsofatleast80people.16. （八）AnAmerican.(B) AnEnglishman.(C) AnAsianofficial.(D) AtravelagentintheCaribbean.17. （八）Ithasapopulationoftwomillionpeople.(B) Itstouristindustryaccountsfor8%ofitsGDP.(C) MostofitsresidentsareofBritishorigin.(D) Mostofitsincomecomesfromtourism.18. （八）SomeUS$50million.(B) AboutUS$500million.(C) SomeUS$500billion.(D) AboutUS$5000billion.Questions19-2219. （八）Anovel.(B) Amoviecommentary.(C) Abiography.(D) Ahistorybook.20. （八）Shereadsalot.(B) Sheisastudent.(C) Shehastoworkthisweekend.(D) Shedoesnotliketheman.21. （八）Writeabouthimself.(B) Joinabookclub.(C) Readbooksonline.(D) Registerwiththelibrary.22. （八）Returnthebookthenextday.(B) Readthecatalogueeverymonth.(C) Purchaseafwbookseachyear.(D) Helpthewomanjoinabookclub.Questions23-2623. （八）Awomanisnotascapableasaman.(B) Awomanisnotasattentiveasaman.(C) Awomantendstotaketheinitialsteptotalkwithaman.(D) Awomantendstoimprovethefirstimpressionshemakes.24. （八）Steptothesidetoletotherpeoplepass.(B) Trytowalkinalone.(C) Gointotheroomaheadofothers.(D) Holdherheadhightoshowconfidence.25. （八）Giveasmiletoeachmaninthegroup.(B) Approachthemaninthemiddleandgreethim.(C) Stretchouttoshakehandswiththem.(D) Walkovertostrikeaconversation.26. （八）Facetoface.(B) Anyofthefingertipstuff.(C) Smiling.(D) Sayingsomething.Questions27-3027. （八）Supervisorandstudent.(B) Reporterandteacher.(C) Colleaguesinindustry.(D) Universitystudents.28. （八）Ithasatutorialsupervisionsystem.(B) Ithasprogressiveideasoneducation.(C) Itsprofessorsaremoreinterestedinresearch.(D) Itsstaffmaintainagoodrelationwiththestudents.29. （八）Thecoursedesigner.(B) Thechemistryprofessor.(C) Thesupervisor.(D) Thepresident.30. （八）Theirlecturer-studentratioisnotreasonable.(B) Theirstaffisnotinterestedinhelpingstudents.(C) Theirlecturehallsarenotwellequipped.(D) Theirdegreesarenotacceptedbyemployers.题目解析:Questions11-14【原文】W:Goodmorning,MnPathportSmith'sSurgery.M:Hello,thisisWilliamBrownspeaking.W:Yes.WhatcanIdoforyou?M:IhadanappointmentwithMr.PathportSmithatteno,clockthismorning.ThenameisWilliamBrown.AndtheregistrationNOis12.W:Well,Ihavefoundyourcasehistoryandtheregistration.Youhaveabrokentooththatneedstobetakencareof,right?M:Yes,butmsorry,mycarbrokedownonthewayandtheguyinthegaragesaiditwouldn'tbereadyuntilabout2intheafternoon.AndthereisnowayIcanfindataxioralift.mcallingfromthegarage.W:Youmeanyoucouldn,tkeeptheappointment?M:mafraidnot.CanIstillseeMr.Smithsomeothertime?W:Ofcourse,butyouneedtomakeanotherappointment.M:WhenIhopeitistodayortomorrow.Thatbrokentoothofmineisreallykillingme.Ican,teatorsleepproperly.W:Isee.Well,whatabouttomorrowat9?M:Oh,that,sfine.Thankyouverymuch.【大意】此段对话中男士因为车子的故障不能按时就医复诊，故致电诊所要求重新预约。接电话的女士与其协商安排时间。【解析】11.
