托福听力杂谈
为什么很多人推荐精听?
为什么你会对精听不以为然,是因为精听似乎只是听到了一篇的内容,即便全部掌握了又如何?下一篇听力不能说相去甚远,只能说完全不一样。
但为什么精听或许有用?因为我们做听力的精力曲线是平均的,我们对每个词花费了同样的精力去理解,这导致我们对简单的部分理解了,但是对难的部分没有理解。
而托福听力不像阅读,阅读考察读懂的逻辑,听力考察你是否听到了。如果没听到那就是不会做。
精听培养我们分配精力,完全把控的能力。如果你能精听一篇,做到了完全听懂,那么你对如何完全听懂下一篇就有了自己的理解与习惯。
此外,精听还能有效区分泛听,杜绝听着听着就走神的习惯;以及帮助我们了解听力内容的结构。

忠告:除了时间不够或者题目过难有歧义,不要使用排除法。应当在选择正确答案的过程中排除。如果遇到了2选1的情况,一定是有细节上的错误,或者结构上的问题。
Structure其实和听力很类似,阅读的结构大概分为以下几种:
Explanation;
Contrast;
Paralell Classification;
Problems and solutions.
具体的结构并不重要,但是结构可以指导我们阅读文章。对于一篇新的文章:
首先应该看文章的标题,找到文章的对象;
然后看第一段,了解文章的主题;
接着看中间部分的主旨句,了解文章的结构;
