西安雅思冲刺培训班,雅思听力作为每次考试的开场,录音只放一遍,难易程度还很任性,通常易如反掌地就影响了那些玻璃心孩纸们往下继续考的心情。
一般来讲大家都需要边听边答题,建议在听之前要做好充分准备。充分快速的阅览试题和选项,标出关键词和关联词,以确定它的主题或意图,清晰自己将要回答什么问题。
本期给小伙伴们解析雅思听力场景词汇——图书馆场景。
图书馆场景是雅思听力中颇为经典的场景之一。在图书馆相关场景的听力材料中,同学们需要掌握与图书馆职能、借阅流程、常见馆藏书本相关的词汇。如果该场景以对话形式出现,一般发生在图书馆的前台 (reception/circulation desk),由学生与图书馆管理员(librarian)展开对话。
Periodicals
意为“期刊”,每一期被称为“issue”,如current issue表示“现刊,现期杂志”,back issue表示“过期刊物”。同一期的每个复印本被称为“copy”,如a copy of journal 表示“一份刊物”。
请看一道剑桥雅思填空题。
Current issues of periodicals are available at both libraries, although 25............... issues are only available at Fordham.
答案:back
定位原文:
S: You haven't mentioned periodicals.
Are they held at both sites?
L: Current issues, yes. But if you want to look at back issues, you need to use the CD-ROM databases(数据库)which are held here at Fordham.
解题思路:本题为题干原词重现,难度不大。back issue指的是过期的报刊杂志。
Reference
名词,在图书馆场景中多指“参考书”。
请看一道剑桥雅思填空题。
The libraries on both sites provide internet access and have a variety of ...............materials on education.
答案:reference
定位原文:
Student: And is there any difference between the two libraries?
Librarian: Not in terms of their facilities, access to online databases and the Internet is available at both sites and each site has a range of reference materials on education.
解题思路:本题难度中等,此处a variety of 和原文的 a range of 是同义替换。
Textbook
名词,意为 “教材,课本”。跟期刊、参考书一样,是图书馆较常见的藏书类型。
请看一道剑桥雅思填空题。
The Castle Road library has books on sociology, together with ............... and other resources.
答案:textbooks
定位原文:
L: But the Castle Road site has books on the sociology of education, and a collection of textbooks and teaching resources covering most of the subjects taught in secondary schools.
解题思路:本题只要留意定位词,textbooks这个答案很容易得出,但注意拼写时不能漏掉名词复数结尾的 “s”。原文中的collection在此处指的是 “馆藏”。
Overdue
形容词,意为 “逾期的,过期未付的”。A overdue book 意为 “逾期未还的图书”。
Renewal
名词,意为 “更新,恢复,续约”。图书馆场景中表示 “续借”;动词为renew。
请看剑桥雅思中的一道问答题。
Which books cannot be renewed by telephone or email?
...............
答案:overdue books/ones
定位原文:
L: The borrowing period(借阅期限) is one month, but of course the books can be renewed. You can renew any item a maximum of three times.
S: Do I have to come to the library to do that?
L: No, you can do it by telephone or email, but you can't renew overdue books this way, and only before or on the due date(还书日) stamped in the book.
解题思路:原文明确说明,超期未还的书是不能够通过电话或者邮件续借的。
Recall
作动词与recollect同义,表示 “回忆,想起”。在图书馆场景中,意为 “召回(藏书)”。
请看一道剑桥雅思问答题。
How much time is allowed to return recalled books?
...............
答案:7 working days
定位原文:
sometimes an item is quested by another borrower, in which case we'd send you a letter, and you'd have to return the book within seven working days. Don't forget we're closed on Sundays.
解题思路:此段并不能在原文中听到定位词,但原文中只有出现 “7 working days”这一个表示时间短语。
其他图书馆场景相关词汇积累:
Registration
动词register表示注册,名词registration,意为“登记,注册”。
Circulation
有“”流通,传播“之意。在图书馆场景中,意为 “借出(的书)”。故图书馆前台也被称为 “circulation desk”。
Equipment room
在图书馆场景中,指的是图书馆的 “机房”。
Catalog/catalogue
名词,在图书馆场景中指 “图书馆的目录”。在剑桥雅思真题中,其他场景相关的填空题也考察过这个词,注意两种拼写方法都是正确的。
Check out
在图书馆场景中意为 “登记并借出”;在住宿场景或旅游场景中更多指 “办理退房手续,结账离开”。
小tips:当学习一个新的单词时,应该是先听发音,再看拼写。在使用你的教材时,好好重视听力部分,积极地用上书里自带的CD反复练习。
在每部分和考试全部结束前,都留有时间给考生检查答案,利用好这段时间仔细检查,能避免一些因为着急而答错的坑。
