2.考点( g( ^ ~7 o F% h4 f$ m
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。# s- F8 g9 _) l5 ]) @3 N" Y5 k' C" y- q5 P

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。1 }4 f2 u( Z- Q* O' E+ w9 |
