你的听力还在20分徘徊吗？一定是你精听练习的打开姿势不正确！
托福听力上不去？听写，精听，范听，背单词都试过了还是没效果？那很可能是练习的姿势不太对哦。
大家有没有一个经验，就是做听力时候，一句句听都听得懂，但是连在一起听，就不明白了。其实，有时候听者把精力过多的放在单词、短语、一个个句子上，而割裂了句间逻辑，以及意群，所以，得到的信息是碎片，而不是完整的意群。那么应该怎么做呢？
分享两种不同听力学习意图的练习方法。
针对听力基础较薄弱的学生，可以以段落挖空的形式做听写。
目标
学生可以识别连读、跳读、爆破音
学生可以听出关键词汇、短语，并可以正确拼写。
举个🌰
如TPO1-L2 Geology：听一段音频，在空白处填空。
Uranium-Lead Dating allowed them to go about it in an entirely different way. What they did was: they looked at the grains of Zircon in the sandstone. Zircon is a material that contains ①_________ Uranium, which makes it very useful for dating purposes. Zircon ②_________ as molten magma, the hot ③____from volcanoes. This magma then ④__________. And when Zircon crystallizes, theUranium inside it begins to change into Lead. So if you measure the amount ofLead in the Zircon grain, you can ⑤__________ when the grain was formed. Afterthat, you can ⑥_________ the age of Zircon from different mountain ranges. Once you do that, you can compare the age of the Zircon in the sandstone in your ⑦__________to the age of the Zircon in the mountains. If the age of the Zircon ⑧__________the age of one of the mountain ranges, then it means the sandstone actuallyused to be part of that particular mountain range. Is everybody with me onthat? Good. So, in this case, Uranium-Lead Dating was used to establish that half of the sandstone in the samples was formed at the same time the granite in the Appalachian Mountains was formed. So because of this, this new way of doing Uranium-Lead Dating, we’ve been able to determine that one of our major ⑨_________about the Grand Canyon was wrong.
答案：
① radioactive ②starts off ③lava ④crystallizes⑤figure out
⑥ determine ⑦sample ⑧matches ⑨assumptions
如果听力一句句听，也能懂，但是段落听就不懂，这样的话，听力时应逐渐扩大断句长度，或者说是按意群听，一句句听有时会割断句间关系和意群间关系。（跟读和复述的区别）
目标
学生可以听出句间逻辑，并听懂意群。
最简单直接的训练方法，就是将托福听力的选择题，变成问答题。当然，可以先读题，再听音频，再回答问题。
举个🌰
如TPO1-L2 Geology：听一段音频，回答以下问题。
According to the professor, what change has causeduranium-lead dating to gain popularity recently?
___________________________________________________________
答案：
关键词出现 improved efficiency/ accuracy; it doesn’t take long time to get the result; or otherwordings that express similar idea 即可。
另外，也可以画段落、文章结构图
如TPO1-L2 Geology：听一段音频，将测量砂石年龄的过程以图示过程画出。
Uranium-Lead Dating allowed them to go aboutit in an entirely different way. What they did was: they looked at the grains of Zircon in the sandstone. Zircon is a material that contains radioactive Uranium, which makes it very useful for dating purposes. Zircon starts off as molten magma, the hot lavafrom volcanoes. This magma then crystallizes. And when Zircon crystallizes, the Uranium inside it begins to change into Lead. So if you measurethe amount of Lead in the Zircon grain, you can figure out when the grain wasformed. After that, you can determine the age of Zircon from different mountain ranges. Once you do that,you can compare the age of the Zircon in the sandstone in your sample to the age of the Zircon in the mountains. If the age of theZircon matches the age of one of the mountain ranges, then it means the sandstone actually used to be part of that particular mountain range. Is everybody with me on that? Good. So, in this case, Uranium-LeadDating was used to establish that half of the sandstone in the samples was formed at the same time the granite in the Appalachian Mountains was formed. Sobecause of this, this new way of doing Uranium-Lead Dating, we’ve been able to determine that one of our major assumptions about the Grand Canyon was wrong.
最后，听懂段落情况下，可以对意群句子或者段落进行“复述”，复述尽量用原文原词，但需要用自己组织的语言讲出来，组织语言的过程就是将听力内容理解和内化的过程，会对听力材料的理解大有裨益。
如果是听力练习的很好了，可以进行口译练习，中译英、英译中，听口结合，练习效果佳~~
最最后，从题型的设置上看，list to this 和 step by step这两册书，是非常合理的，有侧重个别词，也有侧重意群理解。另外，IGCSE和雅思的听力题型设置也是从这两个角度进行考察，单个词的认知，和段落意群的理解。
