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。 8 d" V( p: _6 h. q0 M 1999年1月听力题9 v! ]9 i4 d5 [; }- W/ P# N! n/ 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
