条件词是雅思听力中连接词的一种,比方Only if, Unless, Except for, As long as, Provided that, On condition that…练习雅思听力需要你给予这类词汇特别的关注,如果听题的时候分神了,“后果很严重”。下面让我们来看一看雅思听力中条件词的一些实例。
例一:只有二三年级生才能使用MAC电脑吗?
The third computer network that is the Macintosh computer network is reserved for the second and third year students to use only, unless you are the first year students of the Graphic Design course, who require higher quality of the output of your work.不是,因为后面有个unless部分。
例二:是否任何事情都可以联系你?
Q: May I put you into our mailing list?
A: Well, I’d prefer not, except for the information about the promotion you mentioned just now.只有一个条件可以,就是except for后面的情况(别的概不接受)。
例三:你觉得多长时间播一次广告可以接受呢?
Q: How long will it be tolerate to have adverts?
A: Well, I’d say every quarter of an hour, as long as they don‘t last for10 minutes each time.
答案不是10分钟,我的课上这个题是重点题也是难题!很多考生会选错,纯粹是因为考生只听到10分钟这个点太清楚了,别的都很模糊,而且as long as的条件词特别“提醒了”考生后面的错误选项。
例四:热带雨林危险吗?
There’s no need to be nervous of the rainforest, provided that you treat it with respect and common sense. Most of the animals and wildlife are gentle and harmless.
不要担心进入热带雨林会遇到危险,只要你善待自然,就可以和平共处……
通过以上对条件词的简单介绍,希望能引起考生对这类词汇的注意。新航道小编在此预祝大家在考试中取得好成绩。
