聽(tīng)力題中很多選項(xiàng)都有比較明顯的特點(diǎn)，或者使用某種專(zhuān)門(mén)的表達(dá)形式，如均為動(dòng)詞原形或均為人物角色等;或者含有一些標(biāo)志性的詞語(yǔ)，通過(guò)這些選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)我們便可以推測(cè)問(wèn)題可能考查的核心內(nèi)容;另外，我們經(jīng)?？梢酝ㄟ^(guò)對(duì)選項(xiàng)的分析，排除一些比較明顯的干擾性，縮小聽(tīng)音范圍，從而在聽(tīng)音時(shí)更有針對(duì)性。

一、各題主題揭示對(duì)話主題

將各題所考查的主題內(nèi)容結(jié)合在一起，往往可得出整篇對(duì)話的主題。如果某一題目是考查對(duì)話主題，其中的一個(gè)選項(xiàng)明顯能夠概括其他各題選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容，那么該選項(xiàng)很可能為答案。

【例1】(710分樣卷Conversation One)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

19. [A]To interview a few job applicants.

[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.

[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.

[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.

20. [A]A hard working ambitious young man.

[B]A young man good at managing his time.

[C]A college graduate with practical working experience.

[D]A young man with his own idea of what is important.

21. [A]Not clearly specified.

[B]Not likely to be met.

[C]Reasonable enough.

[D]Apparently sexist.

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

預(yù)覽三道題各選項(xiàng)，由19題中的interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager, apply for a job等詞語(yǔ)可以推測(cè)對(duì)話與刊登招聘廣告或應(yīng)聘工作有關(guān)。而20題中hardworking, ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea等詞語(yǔ)則表明對(duì)話中還涉及到對(duì)所招聘人員的要求。

二、選項(xiàng)均以動(dòng)詞的某種形式開(kāi)頭

含有這類(lèi)選項(xiàng)的問(wèn)題為考查“行為活動(dòng)”類(lèi)型。根據(jù)動(dòng)詞的不同形式，問(wèn)題考查的重點(diǎn)也可能不同。

選項(xiàng)均以動(dòng)詞原形開(kāi)頭，問(wèn)題大多是關(guān)于建議某人做某事，有時(shí)也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。

選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)名詞，問(wèn)題大多是關(guān)于正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或者計(jì)劃打算。

選項(xiàng)為不定式，問(wèn)題很可能是關(guān)于做某事的目的，或是計(jì)劃、承諾或要求做某事。

【例2】(新06-12- -20)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

[A] File a lawsuit against the man.

[B] Ask the man for compensation.

[C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.

[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)詞原形，故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的行為活動(dòng)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均是針對(duì)男士的行為，故本題很可能是關(guān)于某人與男士發(fā)生爭(zhēng)吵或沖突時(shí)所采取的應(yīng)對(duì)措施。

【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

…

W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.

M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have to pick up my son.

…

21. What did the woman threaten to do?

【例3】(710分樣卷-19)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

[A]To interview a few job applicants.

[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.

[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.

[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

選項(xiàng)均為不定式短語(yǔ)，故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人將要采取的行動(dòng)。[ A ]、[ C ]是關(guān)于招聘工作(interview, advertise)，[ B ]、[ D]則是關(guān)于申請(qǐng)工作(fill, apply for)，故聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)留意該行為是關(guān)于招聘還是應(yīng)聘。

【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

M: Morning, Brenda.

W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.

M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?

W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.

M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.

…

19. What did Mr. Browning ask Brenda to do?

三、選項(xiàng)中含有表示意愿或建議的詞

如果選項(xiàng)中含有should, had better, would like等一類(lèi)的詞語(yǔ)，問(wèn)題很可能是考查“觀點(diǎn)或建議”。

【例4】(新06-12-25)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.

[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.

[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.

[D] Cooperation between pilots and air controllers is essential.

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

由選項(xiàng)中的should可推知，本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的觀點(diǎn)或建議。選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容表明問(wèn)題應(yīng)該與確保安全飛行的因素有關(guān)。

【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

…

M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.

W: Wow, that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.

…
