　　新托福听力修饰题解题技巧:

　　1. 听原文时即可适时判断谈话人的真实意图，谈话人某句讲话修辞手法运用明显之时，往往就是考点出现之处。

　　2. 熟悉常用修辞手段，如比喻(又分明喻，暗喻等)， 夸张，比拟，例证，借代，反问， 反复，设问等等。

　　3. 注意根据上线问和谈话气氛来综合回答问题，不要脱离主题凭空猜测谈话人的修辞意图。例如:

　　Professor: Through much of the last century, America’s faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.

　　Narrator:

　　Listen again to a part of the lecture. Then answer the question.

　　Professor: …Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.

　　Why does the professor say this?

　　A: To encourage the students to think about the issue under a bigger context.

　　B: To elicit an answer from the students.

　　C: To compare two different things figuratively to engage his students.

　　D: To describe an imaginative situation.

　　解析:

　　该题是询问为何使用某种修辞手法.从谈话节选段落中我们很容易看出, 教授使用的是暗喻的方法. 该段落大概的意思是: 在上个世纪的大部分时间里, 美国式民主和自由的信仰如石沉大海,波澜不惊: 而今, 却如清风拂絮, 撒落人间.暗喻的方式是为了形成对比, 从而激起听者的想象力, 活跃课堂谈话的气氛.

　　综上所述正确答案为C.

　　Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.

　　Professor: Although that’s a theoretical danger---none of our monkeys showed any untoward side effects---that could occur.

　　Why does the professor say so?

　　A: To point out the advantage.

　　B: To repeat a point

　　C: To define an important point.

　　D: To exemplify a key point

　　解析:

　　在看到题目的时候,注意不要脱离修辞谈具体，想想原材料中的具体的情形. 另外有的干扰选项会脱离原文，即前面所说的不结合上下文和气氛进行臆断。所以要多多注意. 还有的选项是利用其他修辞手段的特征，混淆正确选项。所以在这方面也要多多注意.

　　该题正确选项为A
