在雅思听力考试中，不管是在题中还是在音频中，否定句出现的频率都是非常高的，像常见的”there is no.....”; ”can’t eat.....”; “no......is necessary”等，这些句子中都有明显的否定词”no”。然后，在听力考试中，其实还有很多隐性的否定词，也是大家需要掌握的。今天就带大家一起来认识这些讨厌的隐形者。
1. too...to...表太。。。以至于不能。。。
2. never,hardly,seldom等表示否定的副词
3 介词如：against，except，but for 等
4. 形容词如：few，little, neither，poor，bad等
5.动词如：refuse，lose，fail, forget, close等
我们先来看too...to..在考试中的应用。
先给大家看一个例题（剑桥12,test6,part 2,question11-以下简称12-6-2）
11When the group meet at the airport they will have
A breakfast.
B coffee.
C lunch.
首先，我们看到题干给了地点限定“airport”，然后我们来听原文的描述:
“The flight is at 11.30, so it’s too early to have lunch at the airport,I suggest we will meet there for coffee at 10,which should give us plenty of time to have breakfast before we leave home”
在听这段音频中，我们最先听到了C.lunch.但是根据too...to 结构就可以排除掉。而最后提到的A.breakfast说的是before we leave home,不符合题干中airport的限定。所以答案选B.
接下来，我们继续再看一个例子，还是在这一篇文章中的第14题：
14What type of restaurant will they go to on Tuesday evening?
A an Italian restaurant
B a Lebanese restaurant
C a typical restaurant of the region
然后我们来看听力原文：
“From talking to you all about your preferences, it was clear that a typical local restaurant would be too meat-oriented for some of you. Some of you suggest a Italian restaurant, but I must confess I decided to book a Lebanese one......”
最先提到的C同样是用too...to 的结构，虽然不完全理解meat-oriented的意思，但也可以推理为缺点，所以被排除。而A只是带过，而且还是some of you ,并非所有人，也未做确认，因此最后but转折之后提及的B才是答案。
接下来，我们再看看形容词类的隐性否定词。
如11-3-2中第11题：
11 In Shona's opinion, why do fewer people use buses in Barford these days?
A The buses are old and uncomfortable.
B Fares have gone up too much.
C There are not so many bus routes.
音频中对于A的表述为：”Even replacing old uncomfortable buses with smart new ones has had little impact on passenger numbers.“也就是说虽然把车都换成新的，还是没能增加乘客的数量。因此A乘客数量减少的原因。
又如10-3-2中第14题：
14. Alice says oil exploration cause problems to dolphins because of
A. noise
B. oil leaks
C. Movement of ships
音频中对于B的表述为”although there will be little pollution”, pollution是对oil leak 的改写，但是前面加了little表否定，故排除B.
只要大家熟记这些隐藏的否定词，下次再遇到的时候就能轻松把他们排除啦。 |
