先河教育托福名师在此提醒考生两点需要注意：

其一，

并 非每次听力考试中听到重要人名或者地名后，

屏幕上都会出现相应

的

“

黑板提示词

”

< br>，所以平时备考的准备过程中，各位考生必须注意重要人名的读

音积累，

尤其是那些影响巨大、

故去已远的知名人物，

比 如苹果神话的缔造者乔

布斯，他名气够大，影响深远，可惜离我们还不够久远，所以托福 是不可能将其

列入备考对象的。

其二，考生仅仅听出了人名或者记下了人名，是不够应对托福 听力考题的，

因为托福听力考题从来不会在题干描述一个事实，

然后列出四个选项问你是谁做

的。这种弱智的题目问法，只有在弱智的托福模考试题里才 能找得到

!

假若我们听到人名或者看到人名提示词了，

< br>该怎样听呢，

这里先河教育托福

名师给大家一句口诀：人 名

——

要听其生平背景，记其何德何能

!

所谓生平背景，

是说文章这个人很牛

;

何德何能，是说这个人为啥就这么牛

!

A great example of that, that vision in portraiture, is Cecilia Beaux.

Cecilia Be

aux was born in 1854, and after learning to paint and studying with

several i

mportant artists of the time, Beaux became known as one of the best

portrai

t painters in the United States. She was very successful. She even had

portra

its of the wife and children of Theodore Roosevelt, while he was

president. S

o hedid not get much more prestigious than

that.……Yeah,

she really

stood o

ut back in the 1800s. And today, she is still considered one of the

greatest p

ortrait painters of her time, male or female. In fact, she was the

first full-tim

e female instructor at the PennsylvaniaAcademy of the Fine Arts,

and she wa

s a full member of the National Academy of Design. These are pretty

importa

nt institutions, so, yeah, she definitely made headway for women

artists.

相信各位考生在反思上述文段时可以看到，

除了划横线部分的句子外，

其余

的句子都是在介绍人物的生平背景，

告诉你她是 牛人，

但是只有横线部分的句子

告诉了你，她是如何达到大牛的 地步的。所以，此题答案为

BC

。

Now I would have thought the bigger the tree, the farther the beaver would

be willing to travel for it. That would make sense, right? If you're going to

tr

avel far, make the trip worth it buy bringing back most wood possible. But

a

ctually, the opposite is true. Beavers will cut down only large trees that are

c

tha

t they can cut down quickly and drag back home quickly.
