【聽前預測】

　　由選項中的should可推知，本題應該是考查觀點或建議。選項內(nèi)容表明問題應該與確保安全飛行的因素有關。[B]是說飛行員應該會說幾門外語，這不大合乎常理，因為飛國內(nèi)行線的飛行員并不一定要會好幾門外語，故[B]為答案的可能性較小。

　　M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.

　　W: Wow, that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.【答案解析】

　　25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?

　　【解析】選[A]。對話的最后女士總結了這次事故的教訓：how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other，答案是對此的同義轉述。utmost意為“極大的”。

　　十、意思相近的選項往往都不是答案

　　如果有兩個選項意思明顯相近，那么這兩個選項往往都不是答案。

　　【例11】(新06-12-22)

　　【預覽選項】

　　[A] He was ready to make a concession.

　　[B] He was not prepared to go to court.

　　[C] He was not intimidated.

　　[D] He was a bit concerned.

　　【聽前預測】

　　由選項中的concession(讓步)，go to court, intimidate(威脅)， concerned(擔心)等詞可推測問題應該與男士對某事的反應有關。[A]是說他準備讓步，[B]是說他不準備上法庭，二者都表示男士要“妥協(xié)退讓”的含義，故很可能都不是答案。

　　【聽音驗證】

　　M: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.

　　M: Yeah? For what?! …

　　W: You’ll be hearing from me.

　　M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court, Jane.

　　【答案解析】

　　22. What was the man’s reaction to the woman’s threat?

　　【解析】選[C]。女士說讓男士等著收法庭的傳票(hear from me)，男士的回答“Yeah, yeah. See you in court(法庭見)”表明他根本not intimidated(不怕威脅)。
