對話中的信息詞Dean’s office 與選項A 中賓語Dean 相同，根據問題，顯然A 是正確答案。
例3：You read:
A. Table tennis. B. Basketball.
C. Tennis. D. Football.
You hear:
M: What sports are popular in your country?
W: Football is very popular and school children like basketball. But I like
table tennis best.
Q: What was the woman’s favorite sport?
只要抓住關鍵句But I like table tennis best. 并且了解like…best 與favorite…有相同的意思，馬上可以斷定A是正確答案。
例4：You read:
A. It needs more stamps.
B. It is too heavy to carry.
C. She should return it to the postman.
D. She should take it to the post office.
從選項看，這一題十有八九與郵政有關，但究竟是與其中哪一方面有關呢? 請看錄音原文：
W: This letter was returned to me.
M: That’s because you didn’t put enough postage on it.
Q: What did the man tell the woman about the letter?
要正確解答這道題，抓住最關鍵的一個詞postage 即可。由“郵資”想到“郵票”，就會選擇A 為正確答案。
l 語義題
語義題較以上四種題型是最難的一種。語義題分為兩種：直接型和含蓄型。
直接型：
這種題型較含蓄型容易些，因為錄音原文中使用的措詞和選項中的措詞相同或相近，通過錄音原文可直接在選項中選出正確答案。
例1：You read:
A. He refused to drive her. B. He is glad to drive her.
C. He forgot his driver’s license. D. He has got a new car.
這四個選項均與drive 和car 有關，其中A與B表示的恰好是相反的意思。一般說來，A或B是正確答案的可能性比另兩項大些。聽錄音時，重點可以放在它們上面。
You hear:
W: Jack, would you mind driving me to the station?
M: Sure, why not.
Q: How does Jack respond to the question?
最關鍵信息在男士 的答話中，即sure一詞。顯然他是非常樂意送女士去車站，因此，正確答案是B。
例2：You read:
A. The party lasted all night B. She didn’t go to Susan’s.
C. She didn’t like the party. D. The party was put off.
You hear:
M: Did you have a good time at Susan’s party last night?
W: We didn’t get there.
Q: What does the woman mean?
僅僅從四個選項看，A、C 和D選項均與party有關，而B則沒有。因此，似乎B是正確答案的可能性較小。而關鍵的信息句——女士的答話的措詞恰恰與B選項的措詞接近，所以，正確答案就是B。
例3：You read:
A. He’ll play the game. B. He won’t watch the game standing.
C. He’ll watch the game on TV. D. He has little knowledge of the game.
You hear:
