新托福听力推断题做题技巧:
1. 在做题的时候注意不要过渡推断，步骤*少的推断*接近答案。举个简单的例子：某人生病了，我们不能说他去世了，只能说他身体不适或健康不佳。
2. 在推断的时候必须基于原文，尤其是涉及自然科学的知识，在某一学科某一领域的某一概念还未被全*的科学家普遍接受的时候，我们不能运用课外之时做出推断。
尊重谈话人的态度和意见是做题的关键。涉及到人文科学的知识，中外分歧更大，我们更要抛弃自己的主观意见，站在谈话人特定的历史角色和观点上，做出符合逻辑的推论。
3. 注意答案选项中是不是又被问对象的近似概念或同义词，有些推断答案就是同一概念的替换或延伸。例:
(一)
Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.
Professor: Scott Anfinson is an incredible archaeologist and author whose work conducive to the discovery of the indigenous Indian tombs is thought to be a great asset to Minnesota archaeology.
What can be inferred about Scott Anfinson ?
A: His work is not worthy of any credit.
B: He is an archaeologist with a lot of assets.
C: He has done a lot of noteworthy jobs on Minnesota archaeology.
D: He, as a great archaeologist, donated some assets to protect the local environment.
分析: 1.首先是正确辨别两个词: incredible (出色的, 惊人的) 和 asset (财富).
2. 通过分析A, 可以了解到是对incredible 的理解 . 在这里头脑一定要清晰, 因为 incredible 中的in 不表示 “否定”, 与incomplete(不完整的)中的in 不是一回事.特别注意该词的构词法,在考试中经常会出现类似的混淆构词方法的错误选项;
3. 再来分析B 和D, 通过分析不难得出主要考察对asset的理解.美国人经常把某人当作asset, 即 “人是*上*大*宝贵的财富”的人生哲学的体现.
4. 综上分析, 不难得出C 为正确选项. noteworthy 意为 “值得关注的”, 正好切合教授话中对Scott Anfinson 的嘉许.
因此选C.
