  解题技巧:

  1. 在做IBT听力中的暗示题的时候, 立足原文及谈话人的观点和态度,不能加入自己的主管判断和臆想

  2. 把握意思转折或话题转换后的部分.

  3. 还有就是要关注谈话人的语言色彩,如语气,语调和用词特点。比如:Professor:You’re probably right about xxx, but do you know how much this may cost? 话的前半部分教授对某一事情虽然表示出一定的妥协,但随后他话锋一转,指出:难道你们没有考虑过(干某事)的费用问题吗?言外之意:你们的边界我不支持!因为我老人家考虑问题比你们小年轻更全面一点, 你们没考虑钱的问题嘛。例如:

  Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.

  Professor: Lengthy digressions on the role of coffee in the empire and exile of Napoleon---one of the deposed emperor’s last requests was for coffee…

  What does the professor mean when he says this?

  A: Napoleon asked for coffee when he was deposed.

  B: Napoleon was served a cup of coffee before his death.

  C: Napoleon loved coffee even to the last minute of his life.

  D: Napoleon was removed from the emperor’s seat because he drank too much coffee.

  解析:

, 教授的潜台词即是: 生命不息, 咖啡不止, 这位伟人当然是 “咖啡党”的忠实成员. 答案C 为正确选项. 答案A: 弄错了要咖啡的时间, 坚决排除.答案B: , 但教授的暗示意思呢?挖掘 “言外之意”才是正理儿, 予以排除. 答案D: ?教授的话被完全曲解, 坚决排除.

  该题正确选项应为C.

  Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.

  Professor: Although that’s a theoretical danger---none of our monkeys showed any untoward side effects---that could occur.

  What does the professor imply?

  A: In theory, the Parkinson’s patients could die from the injection of the virus.

  B: The Parkinson’s patients injected with the virus may suffer from annoying symptoms but in reality such danger was not seen.

  C: The monkeys in the research are healthier normal one.

  D: Even though there is a potential danger, the research has to be continued.

  解析:

  该段材料的大致意思是: 教授说: 尽管试验中的猴子被注射后没有一只表现出令人不安的症状, 但是理论上(多巴胺分泌太多而导致病人危险的)可能性还是有的. 换一句话说, 这种可能性在现实生活中还没有表现出来, 现在有的只是一种潜在的危险. 在IBT听力中暗示题考察的就是考生对 “言外之意”的追查能力.但在做题时请注意不要goes too far, 谈话中没有暗示的部分要坚决予以排除.分析答案A: 教授没有暗示病人会因此而 “死”, 不正确.答案B 应为正确选项. 答案C: 离题三尺, 教授没有任何言语暗示试验猴比正常猴类更为健康. 答案D: 前半句正确, 后半句谬误. 虽然教授在其后的谈话中表示试验仍在继续, 但题干中的这句推导不出这个结论来.

  该题的正确答案应为B.

  Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.

  Professor: With his book, Coffee: A Dark History, Anthony Wild is bound to make you think twice about your morning cup, and with good reason.

  What does the professor imply?

  A: It’s a good book to read when you get up in the morning.

  B: It’s one of his favorite books.

  C: It’s a book that everyone should read.

  D: The book is likely to arouse your interests in the issues related to coffee.

  解析:

  本题是考察考生对morning cup 的理解. 美国人的习惯是早上起来就喝咖啡提神. 那么, 教授说, 如果你早上起来看了《咖啡的苦难史》这本书的话, 对于咖啡这种东西必会有理由多思考思考的. 潜台词即是: 这本书有可能点燃你对咖啡的深思. 答案A: 教授是让你思考咖啡的事儿, 而不是让你花费大好光阴进行晨读. 不正确. 答案B: 教授的话中没有显露他的偏好.不正确.答案C: 显然教授的本意不会事让人人都来读这本书. 予以排除.

  该题的正确答案应为D.

  在做暗示题的时候要多多注意一些干扰选项, 比如过度判断, 完全扭曲或误判断谈话人的原意, 符合生活尝试但谈话人在段落中没有提及的知识, 对题干进行复述,没有挖掘话语中的“言外之意” 等等, 这些都要注意, 排除这些干扰的选项, 正确答案很容易就选出了.
