众所周知，托福考试是一项学术性比较强的考试，尤其是听力，对于一般的学生而言都有一定的考试难度。有的学生甚至听而生畏，做完整套听力题就开始质疑人生，觉得自己听不懂，不会做题，从而丧失听力考试的信心。然而，托福听力并非无迹可寻。那么如何科学客观的攻下托福听力这个大难关呢?除了平时虚心踏实的练习，扎实基础之外，我们说还要注意一定的听力方法，即学会抓重点，重点把握文章的框架及框架中的考点词。今天，我们就来说说考点词中常出现的一点——强调。

强调考点遍布听力之中，这也是我们要学会去把握的一个考点，该考点可以出细节题，态度题，功能题等多种题型，故而十分重要。强调可以分成5种类型，特别词强调，语气强调，重复强调，词强调及提问式强调。下面我们来看看它们的具体特点以及在听力中如何呈现。

特别词强调

1、形式：文中出现especially, interestingly, and again, I mean ,you know,

one thing I want to metion is that```, make sure/be sure``, ```is important```, key ```

remember```等词时往往为出题重点。

2、练一练：

听力原文(T11L4)：You have an advertising budget to spend, but how do you to spend it wisely. Again, research is the key.

例题：

(32) In the example about sports equipment, what does the professor imply about spending money on advertising?

● A. It is most effective just before holidays when people give gifts

● B. It may require quick decision making

● C. It is a waste, since many consumers select products based on their previous experiences

● D. It is better guided by good research than by good theories

3、解析：听到该点时我们知道文章讲到了money这一层，然后听到 again，key 等特别词时知道该点重点强调了research，笔记重点记录research，结合后文例子，选出该题答案为最后一个选项，突出research的重要性。

语气强调

1、形式：声音重读，语调拉长，语气与正常说话不同。

2、练一练：

听力原文(T16L2)： Now artistically for both composers and performers this was a major turning point. This brand new instrument, capable of producing loud and soft tones, greatly expanded the possibilities for conveying emotion.

例题：

(15) According to the professor, why did the piano become more popular than the harpsichord?

A.Piano music was easier to compose than harpsichord music.

B.Piano music was better for accompanying the popular new dances of the 1700s.

C.The piano had a more attractive size and shape than the harpsichord.

D.The piano could express a wider range of emotions than the harpsichord.

3、解析：听到该点时文章讲到了钢琴的优点这一层，我们听的时候发现教授对于emotion这个词拉长音进行了语气强调，故而emotion是我们记录的重点。针对该考点，考官出了一道细节题。

重复强调

1、形式：文章出的词重复说明，针对该情况，即便是小细节也可以出题

2、练一练：

听力原文(T13C2)：

Manager: Well, rooms are usually full read after dinner time, but you can sign up the day before to reserve the room if you are.

Student: Err...the day before....

例题：

(3) When can students reserve a room in the language lab?

A. When they arrive at the lab

B. After their professor signs a certain form

C. When all the members of a study group hove signed in

D. The day before they want to use room

3、解析：该点听到非常清晰，教授与学生过程中重复强调了 the day before，是我们记录的重点。

词与级别词强调

1、形式：最，比较级，序数词及表意义的词等，如：most, first, only```

2、练一练：

听力原文(T11L1)：

Now what’s interesting is that birds have different levels of performance of these distraction displays. They don’t give their top performance, their prime time performance every time. What they do is they save their best performances their most conspicuous and most risky displays for the time just before the baby birds become able to take care of themselves.

例题：

(8) According to the lecture,when do birds put on their most conspicuous distraction displays?

● Just before they lay their eggs

● Immediately after they have laid their eggs

●Just before their young become independent

● Immediately after young have left the nest

3、解析：在听原文的过程中，我们先听到了特别词强调what’s interesting is that从而知道该处要引起重视，是个考点，然后听到most conspicuous 该词时再次用了最强调，故而该处出了一道细节题。

提问式强调

1、形式：老师以自问自答的形式或者互动的形式引出考点。

2、练一练：

(1)听力原文(T16L4)：

You’ve heard of Tiffany lamp shades right? These of course took advantage of the new innovation of electric lighting.

例题：

(16) What does the professor imply contributed to the popularity of Tiffany glass?

A. The use of lead compounds to enhance its colors.

B. The reuse of stained glass from old church windows.

C. The invention of electric lighting.

D. A new process for painting glass.

解析：该点为自问自答形式，听到该点时教授用了提问的形式强调引出Tiffany lamp shades，从而强调它的盛行得益于电灯的发明。针对该点，考官除了一题推理题。

(2)听力原文(T16L1)：

Student: Gypsum, right?

Professor: Yep, you’ll find lots of gypsum deposited at Lechuguilla. And, as we know, gypsum is soluble in water. So if there were flowing water in the cave, it would dissolve the gypsum. This is part of what led us to the realization that Lechuguilla is in that small group ofwaterless caves.

例题：

(9) What does the presence of gypsum in Lechuguilla Cave indicate?

● A. The cave was not formed by flowing water.

● B. The cave is no longer forming.

● C. Bacteria are present in high concentrations inside the cave.

● D. No type of acid was involved in the formation of the cave.

解析：该点为互动形式，教授引导学生说出了Gypsum，然后对Gypsum进行了解释说明。

以上个别例子都是考点词强调在题目中的呈现，强调考得比较多，同时也比较好把握，希望同学能好好领会并学会应用。

总而言之，托福听力并非无迹可寻，很多时候它就像是一场胜者为王，败者为寇的心理战。考生要拿出十足的气势战胜它，在不断加强基本功，提升听力能力的同时，掌握科学的听力方法，化被动为主动，主动听取我们所需的考点和信息，相信一定能攻下这个难关。
