If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876 - 1947 ) , concluded from other man's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much mere favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in the nature .
Fall is the next- best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

以上这篇听力短文是典型的主旨 句位于 文章首句的短文,文章的首句明确地说明了本文说明的中心:人类的智慧随着季节的变化而变化。文章余下的内容也都是紧紧地围绕着这个中心来展开。再看三道问题,第一题和第三题的出题点都是文章的一些重点细节,第一道题出现 在有 ( 专有名词 ) 的地方,并就关于此人的一些特定信息发问这往往是短文听力理解细节题考查的重点之一。第三题虽然并不是出现在某一特定的位置,但却是文章多次重复.一个观点。而第二道题则是和文章的主题密切相连的主旨题。只要能准确抓住位于文章首句的主题句,这道题也不难做出。可见,做好短文听力理解的关键就在于把握文章的主题句和抓住问题中的具体细节。
短文听力理解并不像对话听力理解那样适宜于运用技巧,因此也造成很多同学在复习这一部分的时候感到无从入手。但其实 "practice makes progress" 这一个道理是放之四海而皆准的,多听、多读、多看能够帮助我们熟悉六级短文听力理解中常考的文章题材。而通过对题目和它们所对照的知识点的分析又能使我们了解出题思路。如果考生在考前能对这两点心中有数的话,在上考场时就自然是胸有成竹了。 |
