2.考点' |8 b. T8 E& j1 a# g
在这一部分,你将首先听到两个人的对话,然后是一个问题,问题通常是关于第2个说话人的comment的。下面是这一部分常考的考点。有时一道题中有不止一个的考点。词汇纯粹的单词量测试,但通常不是难词(大学四级或以下单词)。比如题干中听到形容词terrific,那么包含terrific的同义词excellent或者very good的选项就是正确答案。也就是说,不仅要认识关键词也要知道它常用的同义词。不过,这种题大多比较容易。因为这些词汇都很常见。 * s2 K+ U T$ U; m 1999年1月听力题' d) J+ E/ I* x! Z [/ K

V o0 N 答案是A.这里整个对话都在讲时间问题,关键词是traffic(交通)。其实,即使你不认识或者不十分确定它的意思,你也可以通过don‘t want to和avoid之间的同义转换选出正确的答案。 " X8 q# A$ u1 \$ p 1999年1月听力题 $ j8 Y, d3 u5 C; Z W:If George misses one more meeting we are going to have to find one new committee secretary.M:We‘d better give him an ultimatum.- M1 m( `/ o9 C1 Y% Y

如果你认识并听懂ultimatum是“最后通牒”的意思的话,你轻而易举就能选出它的同义转换warn sb about sth(警告)。而第一句同样说明了George是个不太称职的secretary,但却用are going to将来时说明并非要remove George form the committee immediately.
