由于记笔记填空的材料总体来说结构清晰,因而常出现表示层次或顺序的词、词组、句子来帮助理解文章。这类表达有:first of all, …/the second point, …/thirdly,…/Now, let’s take a look at the first point,…等等。听音时,应对这些表达之后的信息予以注意和记录。
3.表示总结的词句后是要点
记笔记填空结构层次比较清晰,因此在开始叙述和完成叙述时,通常会出现总结性或总括性的词句。历年考题中经常出现的表示总结的结构有:to sum up, in summary, to summarize, in a word, generally speaking, finally, in general, in the end, to conclude, in conclusion, in brief, in closing, it can be concluded that…, to draw the conclusion, above all, on the whole, in short等。
4.表示强调、重申的词句后是要点
文章通常不会对关键或主要的概念和观点只提一次,而会重复或多次强调说明,以突出重点信息,让听者能理解要点,从而正确理解整个讲座的内容。因此其后的内容都是记笔记的重点。用来表示强调、重申的结构或表达有:what is the most important is, indeed, really, absolutely, of course, in other words, to put it another way, that is, in similar terms等。
[录音] If someone sticks to one topic, you can assume that he or she is really interested in it.
[参考笔记] stick to, topic, U, assume, he/she, interested
[题目] don’t shift from subject to subject
-----sticking to the same subject: signs of ____ in conversation
[答案] interest
温馨提醒:注意语法要正确,适当变换词的`形式。
5.逻辑关系词(转折、因果、对照、补充等)后是要点
常见的表示逻辑关系的结构有:what’s more, but, however, nevertheless, on the other hand, not only…but also…, therefore, so, as a result, consequently, hence, on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, besides, as well, in addition, furthermore等。
6.表达观点的词句后是要点
常件的表达观点的结构有:believe, maintain, consider, in my point of view, in my opinion, as I see it, in the eyes of…, as for me, as far as I’m concerned, according to等。记笔记时应注意倾听这些观点结构之后的信息内容并做好笔记。
7.表示举例的词后是要点
真题中曾出现过的表示举例的结构有:for example, for instance, such as, like, that is, namely, to illustrate, as an illustration等。此类题型较为容易,一般会举出三个例子,只要答出一个即可。具体请在做练习的过程中体会。

8.不为细节所累
边听边记时应避免记录全句,或过度纠缠于细枝末节,在理解句子整体意思的基础上记录重要的单词或短语。
9.合理利用速记方法
可借鉴一些简单的符号和方法,举例如下:
1. 数学符号:如用<表示less than,用>表示more than,用+表示many, good等意思,用-表示little, few, be short of等,用=表示in other words或be equal to,用×表示not, negative, wrong,用∵表示because,用∴表示therefore等。
2. 箭头符号:用↑表示increase, add, higher,用↓表示decrease, reduce, lower,用↗表示develop,用→表示lead to, result in,用←表示resulted from, caused by等。
