解析:做题的时候一定要和短文一样对题目的出题位置有明确的把握,位置感很重要。一般而言,对话时,开头的客套以及问候与结尾的道别结束语很少出题,而对话中段往往才是重点。另外,本段长对话使用到了视听基本一致的原则。24题的考法是长对话中最典型的一种,就是针对动作行为进行发问,考点在于考生需要听明白人物发出的动作是什么,原文的动词harass和选项的harass是一摸一样,属于最简单的考法,而且原文重复两次,因此考生对此即便是不知道 harass是什么意思也能选对。25题的考法是一贯的长对话结尾题,往往以态度判断和结论作为考察对象,此题选项均为态度词,很容易判断,另外,注意到选项呈现“三负一正”的格局,因此答案是显然的。本段长对话的几个特色词汇也需要注意:harass指“骚扰”,绿色和平组织采取“和平骚扰”的方式,影响那些倾倒核废料(dumping nuclear waste)的人们,而没有采取诉诸武力(resorting force)的方式。 |
