托福听力之听语调就能做对听力题？！
英语课
托福听力中语调有哪些含义呢？考生们除了在平时练习中扎实基础知识以外，还应该掌握一些听力技巧。比如说每句读完句语气就代表多重含义，接下来就为大家揭晓这多重含义！
1.选择疑问句的语调主要有两种：
在说话人所说的几个选项中选择时，前面的选择事项用升调，最后一项用降调，中间的连接词如or等用平调。例如：
Is your car ↗blue, ↗green or red?↘
Do you go there by bus↗ or by taxi?↘
如果说话人还有其他选择没说出来，那么几项选择都用升调。例如：
Is your car ↗blue, ↗green or red?↗
Do you go there by bus↗ or by taxi?↗
2.有些一般疑问句的句式读作降调，实际上表示感叹。
如：Hasn't she grown! (↙)这句话实则表示：她成长得多快!
请看下面的试题：
M: Wasn't Sam's speech 2 great! (↙)
W: Are you serious 3?
Q: What does the man say about Sam's speech?
(A) Sam's speech wasn't great, was 1 it?
(B) Sam's speech was great, wasn't it?
(C) Sam gave 4 a serious speech。
(D) Sam was not serious。
男人所表达的意思是啥?其实是对Sam发言之精彩发表感叹，也就是B选项。
3.有些一般疑问句句式也不需要回答，其功能也相当于陈述句，但肯定结构表否定。
否定结构表肯定，而且传递了说话人浓烈的情绪。如：
W: Haven't you got 5 anything better to do? (↗)
M: Ok, Mum, I'll turn off 6 the TV and begin to do my homework。
显然，妈妈的意思是责备儿子不应该看电视，而应该做比看电视更有益的事——也就是说，妈妈认为儿子有更好的事可做。而对话中，儿子当然也明白妈妈的意思，因此说要关掉电视，开始做功课。
2 speech
n.讲话，演说
- I did not lose a word of his speech.他的演说我没有听漏一个字。
- We were listening in to the Prime Minister's speech.我们正在收音机旁听首相的广播演说。
4 gave
vbl.（give的过去式）给予，产生，发表
- He asked for money and I gave him some.他要钱，我给了他一些。
- I gave you a map so you wouldn't get lost. 我给你一张地图，这样你就不会迷路了。
