在這一對(duì)話中,最能說(shuō)明問(wèn)題的信息詞是flight 和gate ,根據(jù)選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容和生活經(jīng)驗(yàn),在飛機(jī)場(chǎng)發(fā)生的可能性最大,而問(wèn)題問(wèn)的正是最可能發(fā)生的地點(diǎn),故正確答案是D。
例2:You read:
A. A secretary. B. A waitress.
C. A customer. D. A housewife.
根據(jù)選項(xiàng)可知這是一題判斷職業(yè)的試題。不難預(yù)測(cè),問(wèn)題大概是What job/work…? 或Who…? 問(wèn)句。帶著問(wèn)題聽(tīng):
M: What kind of soup do you recommend?
W: We have very nice tomato soup and clear soup, sir.
Q: Who is the woman?
對(duì)話中,男士要求推薦一個(gè)湯,女士便提到了兩個(gè)不同的湯名。關(guān)鍵信息詞是soup 和recommend。所以,B 是正確答案。
例3:You read:
A. Customer and merchant. B. Boss and secretary.
C. Teacher and student. D. Passenger and bus driver.
從選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容可以看出例3與例2的不同之處,例2的每個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有一個(gè)職業(yè)名詞,而例3的每個(gè)選項(xiàng)中含有兩個(gè)職業(yè)名詞。因此而知,這是一題判斷說(shuō)話者間關(guān)系的試題。請(qǐng)看錄音原文:
M: Could you please tell me at which stop I should get off for Hudson Park?
W: Sure. You get off at 54th Street and walk one block. You can’t miss it.
Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?
從關(guān)鍵信息詞stop 和get off 可以推斷出對(duì)話是發(fā)生在公共汽車(chē)上。所以,D 是正確答案。
一般說(shuō)來(lái),判斷題較其他類(lèi)型的試題要容易些,因?yàn)樗玫脑~匯和句型比較有限,涉及的范圍也不太寬,答題的準(zhǔn)確率故而較高。
l 語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)題
這類(lèi)試題是測(cè)試考生對(duì)語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象的掌握和理解能力。語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象既會(huì)出現(xiàn)在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,也會(huì)出現(xiàn)在對(duì)話錄音中。這就要求考生有牢固的語(yǔ)法知識(shí),答題時(shí)才能從容不迫。
例1:You read:
A. Yes, he’d like to attend very much.
B. Yes, he might attend.
C. No, he is not willing to attend.
D. No, he doesn’t have the time to attend.
雖然四個(gè)選項(xiàng)略長(zhǎng),但不難發(fā)現(xiàn),這是一題肯定與否定試題,問(wèn)題一定是一般疑問(wèn)句。問(wèn)題的焦點(diǎn)是:做某事,A 和B 必有其一是正確答案;若沒(méi)做,答案肯定在C 和D 中間選。同時(shí)還要了解做與沒(méi)做的原因。明確問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵后,細(xì)聽(tīng)原文:
W: Hello, Bob. Jim and I will hold our wedding party next Sunday. We’d like
you to come.
M: Congratulations. I’d love very much to attend. But I’ll have an exam on
Monday and an essay due on Wednesday.
Q: Will Bob attend the party?
根據(jù)選項(xiàng)中推測(cè)的焦點(diǎn),對(duì)話中的關(guān)鍵信息詞是but。抓住了這一點(diǎn),便可馬上排除肯定項(xiàng)A 和B。再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵信息詞句I’d love …, exam 和essay,選項(xiàng)C便被排除在外,正確答案無(wú)疑是D。
例2:You read:
A. Because she loves gardening.
B. Because she likes flowers.
C. Because she has two dogs to keep.
D. Because her daughters love gardening.
這一題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均是原因狀語(yǔ)從句,因此,可以斷定提問(wèn)的形式是Why…? 或What’s the reason…? 而且A、B 和C 三項(xiàng)中從句的主語(yǔ)相同,只有D項(xiàng)的主語(yǔ)例外。按常規(guī),D項(xiàng)成為正確答案的可能性較小。帶著找出“做某事的原因”的任務(wù)仔細(xì)聽(tīng)錄音:
M: You obviously love gardening.
W: No, I hate gardening. But I’ve got two large dogs, so I need a big garden.
Q: Why does the woman need a big garden?
