2.考点 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。? ; r5 G( k2 O/ z" Q- r8 y 1999年1月听力题 9 n1 g; r!

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。?+ E, u! z0 i- I9 t+ K

(A) Remove George from the committee immediately.! n4 q, t/ [: f

答案是B. $ `3 g: z+ w$ [$ q) _6 e* q) s 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.
