7 考题描述

考试时，考生会看到一句说明“Speak the answer to the question you hear”，但却见不到这个问题的原文，取而代之的是一个巨大的喇叭图标。点击该图标，则会听到一个问题。该问题最多只能播放三遍，然后考生就应该对此问题进行回答了。值得注意的是，本题型同时考查了学生的听力和口语的能力。尽管这是一个口语题，但听力有明显困难的同学也很难在本题型中取得好成绩。

二、典型范例

考生在点击喇叭的图标后，将会听到：

题目的原文是：

这个题目相对比较简单明了。值得注意的是，这个题目所讨论的对象是“Many people”而不是在问考生自己。所以，在这个题目的答题过程中，我们要做的并 不是描述“自己是否在考试之前感到焦虑” ，而是 讨论“那些在考试前感到焦虑的群体能够做点儿什么事儿来减轻这一状况” 。把这一点说清楚之后，我们就可以开始正式作答避免走题了。

一般来说，第一句都应该是对于题目的简单复述。譬如眼前的这个题目，范例是这样复述的：

好吧，我觉得考试前感到焦虑是很自然的，但肯定有方法可以放松。

简单地复述题目之中关于有些人会在考试前有些焦虑的现象，然后用一个总结句，表示随后将会分多个要点进行论述。

首先，你需要制定学习计划并且要坚持。

这一句很简单：用连接词“First of all”告诉听众自己认为的第一个方法是“make a study schedule and stick to it”。

考试前一晚突击学习或者绞尽脑汁什么都想学并没有什么用。所以，你需要复习关键的内容，并且每天都学一点，同时也需要在学习之余放松一下。这样一来，才能保持平静，做好准备。

说服他人接受自己的建议时，常常有两种可能的办法。一种是 描述如果不按照自己的建议做，可能会有什么不好的现象 ；一种是 描述如果按照自己的建议做会有什么好的结果 。这里接下来的两句话，正好对应了两个可能的论述方向。

同时，你得保证有充足的睡眠，并且吃好、喝好。

然后开始了对于第二个要素的阐述。“also”是一个简明的表达“第二点”的连接词。这里作者表达的是“吃好睡好也能缓解焦虑”。尽管这一点从内容上看很简单，但值得大家注意的是，考试中我们 没有必要追求内容的深邃程度 。简单易懂，表意清晰就可以获得一个好分数了。切记，我们所面对的是一个语言考试而不是一个知识面考试。

充足的睡眠能让你的大脑得到必要的放松，而且研究表明，充足的睡眠可以提高大脑的反应时间。健康的饮食以及大量饮水也可以减少压力，让你感觉神清气爽。

这个部分依旧使用的是我们在前面的分析中提到的一个方法：如果采取某项建议，会有什么好的结果。以此来证明自己建议的有效性。

好了，各位读者，我们对于典型范例的分析就先到这里了。请大家开始大声地朗诵一遍下面这个完整的答案吧。

三、解题要点

1 一次性将题目所允许听的三遍都听完

显然，我们应该在最开始的时候就把所有能够听的遍数都听完。我们当然不可能在已经开始答题之后，再回头听一遍：这对答题既无帮助，也不现实。值得注意的是，有些题目可能存在一些相对比较困难的单词，譬如下面这个真题：

这个题目中，“notorious”就不算是一个特别简单的词。如果大家不能迅速地反应过来这个单词是表示“声名狼藉的，臭名昭著的”，就麻烦了。因此，有志于冲击相对较高分数的同学，的确应该考虑进行单词的听音辨音训练。这样做不只是为了训练前面的“听真假单词”题型，也是为了眼前的这个“听题答题”题型。

2 不要期望能做笔记或者列提纲

我想大家在阅读考试说明的时候都已经注意到了，多邻国英语测试（DET）有一个相对比较奇怪的特点，就是 不允许同学们做笔记或是列提纲 。当我们遇到“听题答题”这个口语题目的时候，一定会有一种强烈的冲动，想要从桌上寻找一张白纸来打打草稿，列列提纲。大家一定要注意不能这样操作，否则十有八九会被认定为作弊！实际上，这个题型里的口语题目并不难记忆，而且还提供了三次播放录音的机会，所以只要平时稍加训练，记住题目的内容是可以做到的。

3 采用最明确的逻辑来展开答题

也正是由于刚刚我们讨论到的考试的时候不能做笔记也不能列任何提纲，所以大家在答题的时候，要尽量选择最简单的展开方式。在专项训练中我们提及了举例和递进两种简明的展开方式，供大家选择。

4 答题时尽可能讲到最后一秒

考试本身要求学生对于问题的回答不应少于三十秒钟，但是，根据实际的考试经验，取得相对较高分数的同学，一般都讲足了一分三十秒。值得注意的是，在答题的过程中，即便是考生觉得无话可说，也应该尽可能“paraphrase”自己的观点（也就是尝试用不同句型和角度来表达自己在最开始所提出的观点），把答题时间撑到接近一分三十秒。这样做一方面是因为在语言内容水平相对比较一致的情况下，肯定是答题时间越长，内容越丰满，越能够证明学生的语言水平更好。另外，我们还有一个小九九：就是如果我们能够把回答的时间拉得更长一些，那我们就更有可能在这个自适应的考试中被认为具备高水平，而适配到更高难度的题目，从而取得更好的分数。所以，尽可能回答得多这一点，就算仅仅是为了“欺骗”计算机，也很值得这样做。

四、专项训练

正如在“解题要点”之中所提及的，在如此短的时间内要组织出丰满的答案其实是一项困难的工作。考生须尝试借助某些简明的逻辑来展开答题，这样才能更好地充实内容，答好题目。

在我们正式展开论述之前，我想强调一下：逻辑展开模式多种多样，但并 不意味着大家在答题的时候需要将每一种都用上 。每一位同学的知识背景不同，譬如“举例”可能是一个特别常见的展开方式，但时不时就会有同学遇到 没有办法在短时间内想到合适例子的情况 。这个时候，与其“为赋新词强说愁”，硬生生地诌出一个不太恰当的例子，不如转而求助于其他更合适的展开逻辑。你看，这就是为什么说大家多学几种逻辑模式不是坏事儿，技多不压身嘛。让我们赶紧开始吧。

论述展开方式1：举例

什么是举例？ 当抽象化（较为概括）事物的特质通过某些具体（较为详尽）事物表现出来时，就是举例。 举例是日常生活中最常用到的论述展开方式。大家都很熟悉了，不赘言。

常见的 举例标志词 包括但不限于：for example, for instance, like, such as, to illustrate with an example, to cite/quote an example。譬如：

其实举例是容易的，但是想举出一个好例子并不容易。举例要注意遵循两个基本的原则： 细节原则和一致性原则 。

什么是“细节原则”呢？就是既然都是在举例了，还是要 尽量描述得细致一些 。譬如当你在聊到“cigarette smoking”的时候，恰当地引入“ Camel Smoke ”（骆驼牌香烟）作为例子就要比简单地说“smoke”来得更好。那什么是“一致性原则”呢？简单地说就是 例子的内容与被举例对象的意思相一致 ，即例子不应该有过多的冗余信息。之所以要提及这一点，是因为很多同学一到举例的部分就好似抓住了救命稻草一般，事无巨细地开始阐述，反而容易出现画蛇添足的情况。

为了更好地理解这两个基本原则，大家不妨看一个范例。

这是一段不错的范文，作者给出了两个例子来证明该论点——“Andy, the tragic yet heroic figure in Shawshank Redemption”以及“Amélie in a famous French movie”。这些具体的电影名字和电影人物的名字，达成了我们刚刚提及的“细节性”概念。另外，举例的内容尽管细致却又非常的简洁，没有浪费时间去介绍“电影上映于哪一年”等琐碎的信息，因为这些信息对于论述主题并无额外的帮助。

论述展开方式2：递进

另外一个便于考生展开逻辑的模式便是 递进 。利用递进逻辑，同学们往往可以轻易地 将自己原有的观点一分为二，成为两个有递进关系的子论点 。而且采用该种模式，往往容易使答题内容由于递进逻辑的存在而变得更加紧凑。

常见的递进角度包括： 1）小↔大；2）物质/身体↔精神；3）时间轴 。表示递进含义的词包括：even，yet，indeed，in fact，actually，furthermore，moreover，then，in addition to，additionally，besides，what is more等。

由于“递进”这个展开逻辑能够最大限度地帮助同学们解决内容丰满度的问题，在这里我们将最常用的三种递进模式逐一举例使用，让大家学会其实践方法。

◆ 第一大类：小 ↔ 大（difference in scope）

譬如：个人↔集体（individual↔collective）

微观↔宏观（microcosmic↔macrocosmic）

特例↔普遍（specific↔general）

实例应用：

其实这个题目相对好回答，我们很容易就可以说出“根据兴趣选择学习的专业领域对 个人 的意义”，但这样回答还不够丰满，我们可以采取递进的方法，采用由“ 个人到集体 ”的模式来回答“根据兴趣选择学习的专业领域对 社会 的意义”，顺利地完成内容的构造。

◆ 第二大类：物质/身体 ↔ 精神（material/physical ↔ mental）

实例应用：

在这个案例中，我们先说青少年可能去模仿一些电视节目中的危险 行为 ，然后通过递进的方法，在第二点说青少年的 思想 可能会受到一些电视节目的不良影响，属于 从身体到精神 的递进。也很顺利地完成了对于丰满内容的构造。

◆ 第三大类：按时间轴顺序（chronological order）

譬如：过去↔现在（past↔present）

现在↔将来（present↔future）

已知↔未知（known↔unknown）

短期↔长期（short term↔long term）

实例应用：

在这个案例中，观点一先描述了“专注于一个任务而不是同时进行多个任务”对于 当前 保证高质量完成任务的意义，在递进后，描述了 长期来看 “专注于一个任务而不是同时进行多个任务”所带来的益处，属于 从短期到长期的递进 。我们再一次使用递进完成了丰满内容的构造。大家学会了“in the long run”这个递进百搭结构了么？

六、参考答案

习题1

Okay, so I'm going to talk about a famous children's story called“The Ugly Duckling”. A mother duck's eggs hatched one summer day, and all the little ducklings came out. But one of the ducklings looked different from the rest, and his siblings all made fun of him for being ugly. The ugly duckling ran away from home and somehow was able to survive on his own for some time. One day, he was by a lake and he saw a flock of white birds in the sky. He looked at his reflection in the lake and discovered that he was no longer an ugly duckling—he had become a beautiful swan just like them. I guess the moral of the story is that you shouldn't judge others by your initial impressions of them. They might turn out to be entirely different.

习题2

Okay, so something I'd like to experience is to travel around the world. Firstly, I haven't actually been abroad before, so I feel like there are so many things I haven't seen or learned about other cultures. It's one thing to just read about different countries in your textbook and another to actually travel there and immerse yourself in a totally new culture and atmosphere. Secondly, since I'm interested in history and languages, I'd love to visit some cultural landmarks and see for myself what they're actually like in person, maybe even take some photos. I think it'd be cool to experience firsthand, say, what the Seven Wonders of the World are like. I'm sure it'd be fascinating to see things like the architecture, the landscapes, and the cultural elements.

习题3

Alright, so I haven't actually organized a surprise birthday party before, but I'm sure it takes quite a bit of planning. First, you need to make a guest list of all the people to invite to the party, and you need to make sure they keep it a secret. You could probably create a WeChat group and add everyone you're planning to invite, and keep them updated with information. Then, since it's a party, you need to prepare all the food and refreshments. Finally, on the day of the surprise birthday, there needs to be someone who will keep the guest of honor distracted, like inviting her out for dinner or drinks or something. And all the other guests need to be at the party by a specific time, so you can all surprise the guest of honor when she arrives.

习题4

Alright, so I think one big difference between the movies old people used to watch and contemporary movies is the content and tone. Old movies seem to deal with more serious subjects, like war or death or family problems. A lot of contemporary movies are thrillers that are packed with action or comedies that are entertaining and light-hearted. Another difference is the pacing of the movie, as well as the structure of the plot. Old movies feel slower-paced, with a lot of buildup in the story from beginning to end. Contemporary movies seem much more fast-paced, and there's a lot of motion and movement, like, say, in Marvel movies. The plot in contemporary movies also tend to be easier to understand, I think, or at least there's a pretty clear beginning, middle, and end.

习题5

Okay, so I think there are various places and activities that appeal to old people. For instance, I see a lot of old people in parks, probably because it's a very peaceful and relaxing place, and old people can also get together to socialize there. I also see many old people in markets, maybe because they don't have much to do during the day, so they can go out to buy meat, vegetables, and other ingredients to cook at home. As for activities, old people in China seem to enjoy dancing in public squares or playing mahjong with their friends and neighbors. There are also those who enjoy cooking at home or gardening, and of course, there are some old people who just like to lie on the couch and watch TV programs all day.

习题6

Hmm, okay, so I think this is an interesting question because most people don't really stop to consider what things are in their closets and what these things say about them as people. As for my own closet, obviously, there are clothes and shoes, but there's also a bunch of other random items like an old sketchbook, a vintage camera, some postcards scattered here and there, and a stack of dusty books. I guess this shows that I'm a person who doesn't really like getting rid of things that I find meaningful in some way, but I'm not too organized either, so they're just all in my closet. And as for the contents themselves, they inspire creativity, and they're outlets for me to express myself, so I suppose you can say that I deeply value art.

习题7

Okay, so I think spoiling children certainly has some long-term negative effects. When a spoiled child grows up, they'll probably be really self-centered and always expect immediate gratification. Whether it's a material item they want, money, or a special job offer, they think that they deserve that thing and might become very frustrated if they don't get it. In addition, adults who were spoiled as children will probably have a hard time forming and maintaining relationships with people. After all, good relationships require effective communication and empathy, and spoiled children tend to grow up to be inconsiderate and insensitive. They don't know how to think from another person's perspective and are only concerned about themselves all the time.

习题8

Okay, so if I were to add one item to my closet in the next year, I'd probably choose to add a rain jacket of some kind. I don't actually have any rain jackets now, but it rains a lot here in Shanghai, especially during the spring and summer, so I think it would be a very practical item to have. Ideally, I'd like a rain jacket that's comfortable and lightweight, but also stylish-looking, or at least not like those ugly raincoats you see that look like yellow boxes. So yeah, I'd like a nice-looking rain jacket, and one that has various features to keep me dry. I mean, I pretty much walk everywhere on campus, so if one day, I forget my umbrella or it's just raining too hard, I want a rain jacket that keeps me from getting soaked.

习题9

Alright, so I guess one major advantage of shopping online is the ease and convenience. You can order something at any time of the day from the comfort of your own home. You can also save a lot of time, since you don't have to go out to buy things. Another advantage is that there's a much greater variety of things online than in physical stores, so you can usually find whatever you need, and you can also find out which store sells it at the cheapest price. As for the disadvantages, a huge one is that you can't actually see or try the item before purchasing it. This can be really inconvenient, especially if you're buying clothes or shoes, since you could end up buying something that doesn't fit or doesn't look as good in person.

习题10

One time I had to ask permission from my mom to sleep over at my friend's house. My friend had an upcoming birthday party and she invited me and my friends over for it. She wanted us to sleep over afterwards, you know, so that we could watch movies and talk all night. Before that, I had never slept over at a friend's place before, so I asked my mom, and she agreed to it pretty much right away. It was not really surprising to me, because I've always been responsible. So, my mom told me to call her at night to let her know everything's fine, and I said okay. Then, the next day I went to my friend's birthday party, and at night I checked in with my mom. It was a fun experience and I'm glad my mom allowed me to go.

习题11

So, one famous person that I would like to meet one day is Bill Gates. Bill Gates is known as the founder of Microsoft, which is a company that makes software like Windows. He established Microsoft when he was young—I think it was while he was in college—and he basically made the company into the huge company that it is today. Most people use Windows, so he's had such a huge impact on society and our daily lives, which is one reason I want to meet him. Also, I would want to meet him just to get his personal story on how he was able to create such a successful company, how he was able to accomplish these things, his life philosophy, and all that. I think it would be very enlightening and provide some direction to my own career.

习题12

I would say that some gadgets or equipment become obsolete because they get replaced by better alternatives. The best example I can think of is alarm clocks getting replaced by alarm clock apps in cellphones. People used to use alarm clocks to wake themselves every morning, but nowadays people simply use an alarm clock app, which does the same thing but more effectively. An alarm clock app doesn't cost any extra money, it doesn't take up extra space, and it doesn't run out of batteries. So, there are all these advantages to using an app instead of using a physical clock, and that's a big reason why alarm clocks became obsolete. Similarly, cameras are being replaced by smartphone cameras. It's one less item you need to carry around with you, and in most cases a smartphone camera works just fine.
