  新托福聽力測驗中的貿易場景話題固然所占比重不大,然則卻不克不及疏忽,由於高中生或大部門大門生對這一話題不敷熟習,一旦湧現,殺傷力會比擬大,以是,下面留學托福測驗頻道就給考生具體剖析下新托福聽力貿易場景話題的備考要點,供考生參考。

  一、概述

  貿易類場景每每和其他分支學科發生接洽。詳細可以從如下幾個方面來考核:

  某個貿易術語的先容 比方汗青上的經濟政策(如放任主義),和某個貿易觀點(如邊際效益)等。

  某種市場征象 比方互聯網泡沫,郁金香熱等。

  貿易案例剖析 比方某個公司的營銷情形先容,興衰緣故原由等。

  其他話題 貿易輕易和其他學科發生交織,如汗青,文化和政治等。

  貿易類的聽力話題一樣平常來講是考核考生短期內的懂得才能。固然大概會湧現比擬難的術語,但不考核專業常識。有配景常識雖然好,但不會因沒有配景常識而做不出標題,以是考生們大可寧神。但發起考平生時多存眷時勢,和閱讀如Economist之類的雜誌,拓寬常識面。

  二、案例剖析

  下面是一小我文學的經典案例:

  TPO 6 Lecture 1 (Boom and Bust)

  聽力原文:

  1)… Of course, booms aren’t always followed by busts. We’ve certainly seen times when local economies expanded rapidly for a while and then went back to a normal pace of growth. But, there’s a type of rapid expansion, what might be called the hysterical or irrational boom that pretty much always leads to a bust. See, people often create and intensify a boom when they get carried away by some new industry that seems like it will make them lots of money fast. You’d think that by the 90s, people would have learned from the past. If they did, well, look at tulips.

  Q: What is the main purpose of the talk?

  A. to show what happens after an economy has experienced a boom-and-bust cycle

  B. to illustrate the conditions needed to produce a boom-and-bust cycle

  C. to demonstrate how boom-and-bust cycles have changed over time

  D. to explain why the boom-and-bust cycle is not a frequent historical occurrence

  剖析:

  在前幾講中咱們提到過,大部門lecture的宗旨都處於開首前幾句話。而在這裏,咱們發明,文章中似乎沒有一句和文章選項是相對於應的。這就須要咱們依據左右文的內容舉行總結。在此咱們可以看這幾個下劃線句子,“繁華以後不必定追隨的是沒落,而這類非理性的,不正常的經濟繁華以後,不免便是沒落了”。咱們不由思慮:這類非理性的擴大究竟是甚麽模樣的呢?大概說,有哪些身分致使了這類擴大,從而致使經濟泡沫呢?是以總結看來,B項是最適合的。

  2) … It turns out that the Netherlands was an ideal country for growing tulips. It had the right kind of sandy soil for one thing, but also, ⑴ it was a wealthy nation with a growing economy, willing to spend lots of money on new exotic things. Plus, the Dutch had a history of gardening. ⑵ Wealthy people would compete, spending enormous amounts of money to buy the rarest flowers for their gardens. What happened then was a craze for these specialized tulips. We called that craze ‘tulip-mania’. So, here we’ve got all the conditions for an irrational boom: ⑶ a prospering economy, so more people had more disposable income - money to spend on luxuries, but they weren’t experienced at investing their new wealth. Then along comes a thrilling new commodity. Sure the first specimens were just plain ordinary tulips, but they could be bred into some extraordinary variations, like that dark purple tulip. And finally, ⑷ you have an unregulated marketplace, no government constraints, where price could explode.

  Q: What were some of the factors that contributed to the tulip craze in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century? Click on three choices.

  ① wealthy gardeners liked to complete for rare plants

  ② the number of people with disposable income was growing

  ③ tulip bulbs were initially cheap and easy to obtain

  ④ tulips in the wild bloomed in unusual color combination

  ⑤ the tulip market was not regulated by the government

  剖析:

  節選內容原文很長,這裏只選擇了和考點有關的信息。本題是一個細節題,五選三,這在lecture中比擬少見(一樣平常來講是四選二)。加粗字體提示眾人要留意表現分類,枚舉和順序的路標詞。細節題考核眾人條記記載的層次性,以是聽到speaker有枚舉情形,要素,種類的用意時要立時記條記。在此,⑵句對應的是選項一,⑴ ⑶句對應的是選項二,考點追蹤

  經由過程郁金香熱這個例子,咱們可以看出浩瀚貿易類的聽力話題具備如下特色:

  聯合段首乃至全文總結宗旨

  次序和枚舉路標詞 考核小細節。

  邏輯性強 請求考生掌控全文主線,依據主題揣摸相幹細節等內容。

  以上內容給考生剖析了新托福聽力貿易場景話題,願望對考生有贊助,留學托福測驗頻道發起考生恰當存眷一下貿易方面的聽力段子,造就細節思惟和邏輯思惟。雖然說新托福lecture的聽力段子話題多樣,但實質穩定,若幹會有差別性。日常平凡備考多一分預備,測驗就會多一份勝算。
