4.把握說話人的語氣。
聽音時應注意通過說話人的語氣來判斷說話人的態(tài)度,尤其是反問、疑問、感嘆等語氣,往往會明顯地體現(xiàn)出說話人的態(tài)度或觀點。
【真題示例3】(06-6-3)
[A] The Edwards are quite well-off.
[B] The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.
[C] It'll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.
[D] It's too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.
M: How do you like the new physician who replaced Dr. Andrew?
W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.
M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.
Q: What does the man imply?
【解析】觀點態(tài)度題。本題是問男士暗示什么。選項中l(wèi)iving expenses(生活開支)和buy another house表明對話應與the Edwards的生活開支和購房計劃有關(guān)。對話中男士用反問語氣(should they be doing…?)表示反對意見They shouldn't be doing…(≈It'll be unwise…to do…)。
四、地點場景題
問題是關(guān)于對話發(fā)生的場合、地點或者涉及到的人或事物所處的位置。
提問方式通常為:
Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
Where are the two people?
此類題型解題技巧如下:
1.單個地點題:抓住與特定地點相關(guān)的常用詞語。
這類題目的對話中一般不會提到具體場所,問題往往要求根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容推測出談話場所或某人的去向。考生要注意抓取信息詞,即與特定地點相關(guān)的最常用詞語。
2.多個地點題:依賴筆記,留意提問中的核心詞。
這類題目對話中一般會提到幾個地點,而就其中某一個進行提問,解題關(guān)鍵在于區(qū)分細節(jié),對與選項相關(guān)的細節(jié)進行速記,并注意抓住提問中的核心詞。
3.熟悉常考的地點。
四級對話中常涉及的地點場景包括:
診所或醫(yī)院(clinic or hospital) 餐館(restaurant)
學校或校園(school or campus) 書店 (bookstore)
火車站 (railway station) 機場 (airport)
圖書館 (library) 郵局(post office)
銀行(bank) 旅館 (hotel)
【真題示例4】(新06-6-15)
[A] At a clinic.
[B] In a supermarket.
[C] At a restaurant.
[D] In an ice-cream shop.
M: I’ll have the steak, French Fries, and let’s see, chocolate ice-cream for dessert.
W: Oh-oh, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat and sugar, how about ordering some vegetables and fruit instead?
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
【解析】地點場景題。本題是問對話最可能發(fā)生在哪。由對話中steak, ice-cream, order等關(guān)鍵詞即可推斷出對話應該是發(fā)生在餐館。
