高频SST讲解

近期，听力成为了大家7炸8炸路上的拦路虎。通过分析他们平时的复习情况以及考场上的反馈，我们不难发现，大部分的同学在Summarize Spoken Text这个题型上存在着这样或那样的问题，更有些同学对于Summarize Spoken Text这个题型甚至是无比抗拒的。

在平时练习中，很多人都不知道应该如何练习Summarize Spoken Text或者如何利用手头上数量有限的机经原文。因此在真实考试中，在Summarize Spoken Text的答题过程中，当听了整个文章后，因为对这个题型的抗拒以及平时练习的不足，这个部分总是答得不够好，最后影响到听力的部分。

今天我们一篇近期的Summarize Spoken Text新题来为大家介绍一下Summarize Spoken Text应该怎样准备，怎样答题。

首先，我们必须要为大家强调一点：

有机经固然好，机经是最好的官方练习题，但是机经只能锦上添花，却不能雪中送炭。我们应该通过对机经进行练习来提高我们自身的水平和能力，而不是死记硬背机经中的回忆。

下面，让我们通过听力原文来剖析一下Lighting Bulb这道Summarize Spoken Text：

This is a 40-watt light bulb. If you leave it on all the time. It uses one kilowatt hour everyday. And it’s possible to express all forms of power consumption using this unit of the light bulb. I started measuring everything around my house, around my office. And I found some surprising things. First, I plug in a phone charger. And it didn’t even register on this power meter. It uses one hundredth of a light bulb of power. So I don’t think the phone chargers can be our NO.1 for energy consumption. Just taking one hot bath everyday uses the same energy, same power of five light bulbs on all the time, non-stop. And I found I’ve been steadily using 40 light bulbs worth of gas for heating, making hot air or hot water. And that surprises me. Transportis one of the biggest forms of energy consumption, and it uses about a third about our energy. If you drive an average car 50 kilometres a day, that corresponds to adding 40 light bulbs on all the time. Today, the average British person is using 125 light bulbs of power. That’s 125 light bulbs on all the time, non-stop. That’s huge.

听完全文，我们可以将这篇文章分为以下几层：

第一段

这是一个40瓦的灯泡。如果你一直保持这种状态。它每天使用一千瓦时。并且可以使用这个灯泡单元表达所有形式的功耗。我开始测量我房子周围办公室周围的一切。我发现了一些令人惊讶的事情。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

The speaker measures all forms of power consumption by using a light bulb.

第二段：

First, I plug in a phone charger. And it didn’t even register on this power meter. It uses one hundredth of a light bulb of power. So I don’t think the phone chargers can be our NO.1 for energy consumption.

首先，我插上手机充电器。它甚至没有在这个功率计上注册。它使用百分之一的电灯泡。所以我认为手机充电器不能成为我们能耗的第一名。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

A phone charger only usesone-hundredth of light bulb.

第三段

Just taking one hot bath everyday uses the same energy, same power of five light bulbs on all the time, non-stop. And I found I’ve been steadily using 40 light bulbs worth of gas for heating, making hot air or hot water. And that surprises me.

每天只需洗一个热水澡就可以使用相同的能量，相同功率的五个灯泡，不停。我发现我一直在稳定地使用40个灯泡来加热，制作热空气或热水。这让我感到惊讶。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

The hot bath and gas for heating use five and forty light bulbs respectively.

第四段

Transport is one of the biggest forms of energy consumption, and it uses about a third about our energy. If you drive anaverage car 50 kilometres a day, that corresponds to adding 40 light bulbs on all the time.

交通运输是最大的能源消耗形式之一，它占据了我们能源的三分之一左右。如果你每天开50公里的普通汽车，这相当于一直增加40个灯泡。

因此这段可以概括为：

Transportation is the biggest form of energy consumption, which uses athird of our energy.

第五段

Today, the average British person is using 125 light bulbs of power. That’s 125 light bulbs on all the time, non-stop. That’s huge.

今天，普通英国人正在使用125个灯泡。这一直是125个灯泡，不停。那太大了。

因此这段可以概括为：

Average British person is using one-hundred-and-twenty-five light bulbs per day.

以下是参考答案：

The speaker measures all forms of powerconsumption by using a light bulb. Firstly, a phone charger onlyuses one-hundredth of light bulb. Secondly, the hot bath and gasfor heating use five and forty light bulbs respectively. Thirdly, transportation is the biggest form ofenergy consumption, which uses a third of our energy. Finally, average British person is using one-hundred-and-twenty-five lightbulbs per day.
