托福聽力講座是聽力中最難的部分，篇幅太長，內(nèi)容豐富，學(xué)術(shù)性強(qiáng)。想要聽懂托福聽力講座，可不只需要理解力，還要把握技巧。比如要想弄清托福聽力講座結(jié)構(gòu)，要把握什么技巧呢?

　　一.找到結(jié)構(gòu)詞

　　托福聽力講座中教授會給學(xué)生一個完整的思路。尤其是大學(xué)學(xué)術(shù)性內(nèi)容，結(jié)構(gòu)一般是清晰的。而且，教授的話語中會有一些結(jié)構(gòu)詞，這些詞可以將內(nèi)容分層，只要把握這些詞就能把握內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)。以托福TPO5中的第一個講座部分內(nèi)容為例：

　　First, longevity.//A replicator must exist long enough to be able to get copied, and transfer its information.Clearly, the longer a replicator survives, the better its chances of getting its message copied and passed on.So longevity is a key characteristic of a replicator.//If you take the alligator story, it can exist for a long time in individual memory, let's say, my memory.I can tell you the story now or ten years from now, the same with the twinkle, twinkle song.So these memes have longevity because they are memorable for one reason or another.

　　托福聽力講座結(jié)構(gòu)分析：內(nèi)容中出現(xiàn)First但是沒有Second等的出現(xiàn)，說明這部分重心在于“l(fā)ongevity”。First是一個結(jié)構(gòu)詞。順便更細(xì)致分析一下內(nèi)容：看出這部分內(nèi)容可以分為三部分，為大家在內(nèi)容中標(biāo)識。第一部分是主旨句;第二部分理論說明“l(fā)ongevity is a key characteristic of a replicator”;第三部分則是具體的例子。

　　二.找到更具體的關(guān)系詞

　　在托福聽力講座中到處有表達(dá)各種連接關(guān)系的詞語，我們同樣可以加以利用，比如幾種常見的邏輯關(guān)系，并列關(guān)系，轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因果關(guān)系以及對比關(guān)系等。這些邏輯關(guān)系可以幫助我們把握細(xì)節(jié)之間的關(guān)聯(lián)，把聽到的細(xì)節(jié)的信息串聯(lián)起來整體理解。比如TPO10中的第一個講座內(nèi)容(Whales)中的部分內(nèi)容：

　　The name Ambulocetus natans comes from Latin of course, and means "walking whale that swims".It clearly had four limbs that could have been used for walking.//It also had a long thin tail, typical of mammals, something we don't see in today's whales.//But it also had a long skeletal structure, and that long skeletal structure suggests that it was aquatic.

　　托福聽力講座結(jié)構(gòu)分析：先找出能體現(xiàn)關(guān)系的詞“and ”、“also”、“But”。可以分析出這部分內(nèi)容可以分成三個部分，三個部分通過并列邏輯相聯(lián)系?？梢钥赐懈Ｂ犃φ骖}來更深刻理解內(nèi)容。例：

　　According to the professor, what three aspects of the Ambulocetus fossil make Ambulocetus a likely bridge between land mammals and sea mammals?Click on 3 answers

　　A. It had an elongated skeletal structure

　　B.It strongly resembled a modern hippopotamus

　　C.It had an unusually kind and thin tail for a whale

　　D.It had limbs that could have been used for walking

　　E.Its skull had ear bones characteristic of land mammals

　　真題分析：在介紹Ambulocetus natans的具體特點(diǎn)時，連續(xù)用了三個并列句，and,also等表并列的過渡詞來串聯(lián)。那么段落當(dāng)中的limbs,tail和skeletal structure作為三個連續(xù)的特點(diǎn)應(yīng)在此選出。
