2017年PETS三级听力心得技巧:因果关系题

  因果关系题在听力考试中是比较难的,

  一是因为它的问题一般侧重于对原因的考查,而原因往往在第一句就讲完了,所以考生往往容易忽略并遗忘。

  二是因为它的信号词很少,一般需要全部听完才能判断这是一道因果关系题。

  但无论如何,当听力中出现一些因果关系引导词时,我们就应该引起注意。请大家先熟悉这些因果关系引导词和短语。

  1. 表示因果关系的词:because, as, for, since, that, hence, therefore, consequently, cause (v.), reason.

  2. 表示因果关系的短语 due to, owing to, because of, thanks to, on account for, as a result, result from, result in, lead to, give rise to, contribute to, attribute to, now that, so that, so... that, such... that, in order to, in order that, be responsible for

  分类一、明示因果关系题二、暗示因果关系题

  例如:

  M: The students' English club is having a party on Saturday night. Can you come?

  W: I would like to. But I work at a restaurant at weekends.

  Q:Why can't the woman go to the party.

  提问类 对话中含有想知道原因的特殊疑问句

  例如:Nancy, why were you late today?

  I over slept and missed the bus

  例如:What happen to you? You're so late.

  The bus I took broken done in front of the hospital and I had to walk from there.

  Q: Why was the woman so late? A: Something was wrong with the bus.

  自成因果关系类

  没有信息提示,而因果关系突出。

  例如:Why does the woman walk all the way to the office?

  A. She takes it as a kind of exercise.

  B. She wants to save money.

  C. She loves doing anything that is new.

  D. Her office isn't very far.

  M: Hi, Susan. I hear that you walk all the way to the office these days.

  W: Yes. I have found great pleasure in walking. That's the type of exercise I enjoy very much.

  正确答案:A解题思路:虽然没有直接的因果关系引导词,但从女士谈话中可以知道,她正在解释她为什么步行上班 —— 步行是她喜欢的一种锻炼方式。
