拿到试卷以后,趁录音稿播放答题指示(directions)的时候,迅速浏览一遍题目选项,使自己对于考试中出现的题目类型做到心中有数,这样答题时型注意不同的细节,而在回答每一个问题时应注意不要在一个题上花太多的时间,对某一个题目一时难以回答可以留待整个听力测试完成后再仔细推敲,在迅速选定上一个问题的答案后,应留下1-2秒的时间迅速浏览下一题的4个选项,然后根据选项内容对于即将听到的对话进行预测,如你在试卷中看到的4 个选项为: (A)Get some change from Jane. (B)Use the womans phone. (C)Go and look for a pay phone. (D)Pay for the phone call.
因四个选项都是动词词组,而且选项(B)中出现了 “the womans phone”, 可以推测本题要考的是对男士下一步采取的行为的判断,是行为判断题。在对话中会出现有关这方面的关键词,这是我们要把握的。我们会听到: M: Hi, Jane. Do you have some change? I have to make a call on the pay phone. W: Pay phone? Why not use my mobile phone? Here you are. Q: What will the man most probably do? (CET-4/2001/1-1) 注意谈话中的动词词组。男士提到 “ have to (make a call)”, 女士对此建议 “ Why not (use my mobile phone)? Here you are.”。 从他们谈话中的动词词组可以判断出此题答案为B。这里还要注意表建议的句型 “Why not…?”。遇到数字、时间/地点、职业题时,先阅,例如,如果读到以下四个选项: (A) In the park. (B) Between two buildings. (C) In his apartment. (D) Under a huge tree.
很明显,这是一道地点题,因此我们应特别注意谈话的环境或文中提到的场所,我们可以听到以下谈话: W: Where did you say you found this bag? M: It was lying under a big tree between the park and the apartment building. Q: Where did the man find the bag? (CET-4/2000/6-6)
女士一开始就问: “Where did you…”,这就意味着我们下一句中听到的地点非常重要。男士谈话中出现的地点为 “under a big tree between the park and the apartment building”,关键词为 “under a big tree”,其他两个地点“the park and the apartment building” 很明显为干扰因素,要注意在选项中排除它们的影响。做到这点就不难找到答案为(D)。
