【六屆通譯杯比賽輔導(dǎo)】初賽題目分類介紹之聽力選擇題1

2016/9/9 通譯翻譯|同聲傳譯

本屆口譯大賽初賽的第二道大題位聽力選擇題，想必此類題型同學(xué)們?cè)谄綍r(shí)的考試中見得很多，但是據(jù)很多同學(xué)反映每次在做此類題的時(shí)候都會(huì)手忙腳亂，最終導(dǎo)致有些選項(xiàng)根本沒聽到或聽到了當(dāng)時(shí)也不能及時(shí)反應(yīng)出來正確答案。那么今天我們就來一起探討一下做聽力選擇題的正確方法。

首先和所有的聽力題一樣，在錄音開始播放前一定要先把選項(xiàng)都通讀一遍，這里有一些小技巧需要大家牢記：

1. 讀題不能只閱讀題干，每個(gè)選項(xiàng)都要仔細(xì)讀一遍。
2. 在讀題時(shí)要能從題目中大致分析出這篇文章的主旨是什么。
3. 在掌握了文章主旨之后，建議大家用筆劃出題干以及選項(xiàng)中的key words（關(guān)鍵詞），明確聽題的側(cè)重點(diǎn)，這樣在聽錄音選選項(xiàng)的時(shí)候大家的注意力就可以只關(guān)注在你所劃的關(guān)鍵詞上面，而不是整句話。
4. 在劃關(guān)鍵詞的時(shí)候，有一些詞大家要特別敏感，就是那些“絕對(duì)詞”，比如說all/never/only/too/exclusively/solely/absolutely/always/uniquely，一般可以把有這類詞的選項(xiàng)先排除。
5. 在讀題的同時(shí)，建議大家盡量將幾道題的題干記在心里，這樣在聽錄音的時(shí)候就能很快定位到某個(gè)題干了。

最后附一道模擬題供大家練習(xí)，希望大家練習(xí)的時(shí)候能夠用到以上所講的方法。

【原文】
Today we have more good news for all our coffee drinkers around the world. Another new study finds that drinking coffee can help you live longer.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health recently discovered that drinking between three and five cups of coffee a day may prevent certain illnesses. They found that coffee can protect against heart disease, brain diseases, type 2 diabetes and suicide.
Walter Willett is a nutrition researcher at Harvard and co-author of the study. Willet says the findings extend to both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee – or decaf, as Americans often call it.
So, the health benefits come not just from the caffeine in coffee, but from the compounds in the beans.
The large study of about 200,000 subjects included data from three ongoing studies. Subjects in the study had to answer questions about their coffee drinking habits every four years over a 30-year period.
Researchers found that moderate coffee drinking was linked with a reduced risk of death from many diseases. These diseases include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, and suicide.
However, the researchers found no link between coffee drinking and cancer.
Researchers also considered other habits such as smoking, obesity, and how active the subjects were. They also looked at what kinds of food the subjects ate, as well as how much alcohol -- and what type of alcohol -- they drank.
They published their findings in the journal Circulation.
This Harvard research adds to a growing body of evidence. This body of evidence finds that drinking a moderate of coffee may have many health benefits, including a longer life. This is according to one of the researchers involved in the study.
Frank Hu is senior author of the study. He is also a professor of nutrition and epidemiology. He studies how food affects illness.
Hu adds that data from the study support the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Report. This report found that drinking a moderate amount of coffee can be part of a healthy diet.
But how much and when you drink coffee is important.
You may remember another study we reported on recently. That study said that drinking coffee too late in the evening can disrupt your sleep.
Not everyone feels the recent Harvard study confirms anything.
The news organization NPR spoke with one expert who warns that not everyone reacts to coffee the same way. Andrew Maynard of Arizona State University told NPR that the health benefits documented in this new study are “small.”
Maynard says the study does not prove cause and effect between drinking coffee and living longer. He says the study points to an association,or link, between drinking coffee and living longer.
Even those involved in the research still have questions.
When NPR spoke with study co-author Walter Willett, he said he is not sure how coffee is linked to certain health benefits.
Willett says the take-home message– in other words, the important thing to learn – is that if you like coffee, do not feel guilty about drinking it in moderation. If you don’t like coffee, don’t feel you have to start drinking it to be healthy.
