【六屆通譯杯比賽輔導】初賽題目分類介紹之聽力選擇題2

上周，我們跟大家簡單介紹了聽力選擇的答題技巧，今天我們再來跟大家談談聽力選擇題拿到高分的兩個小“竅門”。

一、Prediction

預測是十分重要的一環(huán)。如果沒有提前讀題進行預測，正確率一定會大打折扣。那么怎樣進行預測呢?
最有效的方法就是劃出關鍵詞。上周我們也有提到劃出關鍵詞，那么什么樣的詞才算“關鍵”呢？我們要找的其實是一種”高調詞”，如比較顯眼的專有名詞，人名，數字甚至是引號。舉個例子： 
The ‘Study for Success’ seminar lasts for____.
　　

分析：題干中，課程名稱既用了大寫又加了引號，顯而易見是所謂的”高調詞”，所以同學們可以毫不猶豫地等待音頻中的原詞重現。
What does Dan say about the town of Rivas?
　　

分析：題干中，Rivas是個明顯的專有名詞，應該是一個地名?？荚囍薪ㄗh同學們將這個詞默讀一下，熟悉其發(fā)音，便于聽時定位到這個詞。

二、留心強轉折信號詞

所謂強轉折信號詞，不外乎but, however, yet. 只要是出現這類轉折詞，尤其是but后面的內容一定是考點。而許多同學在聽力的過程中并未重視這一點，或者說在聽的過程中沒能夠抓住這一點，原因是什么呢?

造成后者的原因其實很簡單，就是所謂的“強讀”與“弱讀”。以but為例，正常發(fā)音是:[bʌt],但考試中音頻經常為[bət], 甚至[bə], 而且速度非?？?，導致許多學生沒法識別出來。希望通過今天的介紹同學們能在以后的練習中對這一類轉折詞加以注意。
最后，附一道聽力選擇題供大家鞏固練習。

原文：

An Israeli company has asked the United States Patent and Trademark Office for legal rights to a process for making a special kind of human cell.
    The company, Nano Dimension, says it uses a specialized 3-D printer to create an environment in which stem cells could grow into tissue.
    Stem cells can develop into many different kinds of cells in the body. They can also repair damaged tissues and organs. One kind, called induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS) are used to replace tissues lost to disease or injury.
    The term 3-D is short for three dimensional. That means an object has length, width and height.
    In 3-D printing, 3-D models are first created as files on a computer. The printer then uses a material like plastic or metal to create physical objects. The process involves making one layer at a time until the objects reach full form.
    Usually this process is slow. But Nano Dimension said it has tested a 3-D printer that can produce stem cells much faster.
    Nano Dimension is partnering with another Israeli company, Accellta, a developer of proprietary technologies to produce IPS cells. The patent application request describes the 3-D printing process for making human tissues and organs.
    The companies have yet to produce fully functional human tissue for medical use.
    Amit Dror is the head of Nano Dimension. He said testing has so far resulted in a “proof of concept” for 3-D printing stem cells.
    “What we have proven [is] that we have the ability - by combining the know-how and IP [intellectual property] of both companies - to get to the right materials. And basically being able to print very fast, an array which resembles a tissue by using human stem cells.”
    Special ink containing living stem cells is mixed with other substances to support growth, Dror said.
    The goal is to create the right mixture that copies actual conditions in the human body.
    “It’s not that every layer of tissue within an organ, or skin, or any part of the body, has just a mixture of cells,” Dror noted. “They are located in different concentrations in different places.”
    Developing stem cells into life-like, functioning tissue has long been a problem for researchers.
    William Wagner is the director of the University of Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. He says 3-D printing technology can be very useful.
    “Let's say you're looking at a drug that would fix liver disease that causes the liver to not be able to enzymatically degrade some substance. Now you have the ability to do a thousand experiments in parallel, with liver tissue, with your drug, assessing the effectiveness of it.”
    Wagner added that he believes production of complex human tissues, such as full organs, is still years away from happening. So 3-D printing would likely be more successful in producing simpler tissues like skin or muscle, he said.
