轉折題

　　轉折題看似比較難，搞的考生摸不著頭腦，其實你要抓住其內在的規律便可迎刃而解。所謂轉折，代表意思的改變，往往答案關鍵線索之處在轉折詞的后面。當你聽到原文中出現顯性轉折詞but(四級聽力出現頻率最高，考生應注意其在句子里面的發音連讀和爆破), or , otherwise , however , anyhow 等，及隱性如：In fact, to tell the truth, frankly speaking, to be honest, sounds great, I’d love to, I’m afraid to, That’s great等，就需對前面的信息180度大轉彎，再來判斷正確答案。

　　【例1】 2000.6英語四級聽力題

　　W: Did you visit the Television Tower when you had your vacation in Shanghai last summer?

　　M: I couldn’t make it last June. But I finally visited it two months later. I plan to visit it again sometime next year.

　　Q: What do we learn about the man?

　　A) He saw the big tower he visited on TV .

　　B) He has visited the TV tower twice.

　　C) He has visited the TV tower once.

　　D) He will visit the TV tower in June.

　　【預測】 選項是關于誰去了TV tower沒有，去過幾次的干擾。

　　【解析】 男士說去年6月，沒有游覽成電視塔，很多同學看見否定就掉進這個陷阱(couldn’t)，后面but轉折的話才是要點，提到兩個月后去了，計劃明年還去一次，所以實際只游覽了一次。因此選C。

　　【例2】 2001.6英語四級聽力題

　　M: How did you like yesterday’s play?

　　W: Generally speaking, it was quite good. The part of the secretary was played wonderfully, but I think the man who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.

　　Q: How does the woman feel about the man?

　　A) He played his part quite well. B) He was not dramatic enough.

　　C) He performed better than the secretary D) He exaggerated his part.

　　【解析】 關于整個play女士覺得quite good，不要在這里上當。but 后面的是關鍵，“the boss”的角色太戲劇化，不像是真的，說明表演過頭。所以選D。其他選項都相反。
