對(duì)各位準(zhǔn)備參加托�？荚嚨目忌鷣碚f，TPO是絕佳的備考資料，絕大多數(shù)考生都視之為“刷題工具”——純粹使之淪為了檢測(cè)自己的練習(xí)手段，而非用來提高自己的學(xué)習(xí)手段。根據(jù)筆者學(xué)習(xí)英語的體會(huì)以及長(zhǎng)期教授托福聽力的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，影響考生聽力信息攝取的障礙之一，恰恰是那些看似很懂、沒什么生詞、聽起來馬馬虎虎，感覺又似懂非懂的聽力短語。本文意在擷取TPO聽力文段中容易引起考生誤解或錯(cuò)解的20個(gè)詞組，對(duì)其語境含義加以詮釋，希望起到拋磚引玉的作用。
