4.把握说话人的语气。
听音时应注意通过说话人的语气来判断说话人的态度,尤其是反问、疑问、感叹等语气,往往会明显地体现出说话人的态度或观点。
【真题示例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】观点态度题。本题是问男士暗示什么。选项中living expenses(生活开支)和buy another house表明对话应与the Edwards的生活开支和购房计划有关。对话中男士用反问语气(should they be doing…?)表示反对意见They shouldn't be doing…(≈It'll be unwise…to do…)。
四、地点场景题
问题是关于对话发生的场合、地点或者涉及到的人或事物所处的位置。
提问方式通常为:
Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
Where are the two people?
此类题型解题技巧如下:
1.单个地点题:抓住与特定地点相关的常用词语。
这类题目的对话中一般不会提到具体场所,问题往往要求根据对话内容推测出谈话场所或某人的去向。考生要注意抓取信息词,即与特定地点相关的最常用词语。
2.多个地点题:依赖笔记,留意提问中的核心词。
这类题目对话中一般会提到几个地点,而就其中某一个进行提问,解题关键在于区分细节,对与选项相关的细节进行速记,并注意抓住提问中的核心词。
3.熟悉常考的地点。
四级对话中常涉及的地点场景包括:
诊所或医院(clinic or hospital) 餐馆(restaurant)
学校或校园(school or campus) 书店 (bookstore)
火车站 (railway station) 机场 (airport)
图书馆 (library) 邮局(post office)
银行(bank) 旅馆 (hotel)
【真题示例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?
