4.把握說話人的語氣。

　　聽音時(shí)應(yīng)注意通過說話人的語氣來判斷說話人的態(tài)度，尤其是反問、疑問、感嘆等語氣，往往會(huì)明顯地體現(xiàn)出說話人的態(tài)度或觀點(diǎn)。

　　【真題示例3】(06-6-3)

　　[A] The Edwards are quite well-off.

　　[B] The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.

　　[C] It'll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.

　　[D] It's too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.

　　M: How do you like the new physician who replaced Dr. Andrew?

　　W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.

　　M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.

　　Q: What does the man imply?

　　【解析】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。本題是問男士暗示什么。選項(xiàng)中l(wèi)iving expenses(生活開支)和buy another house表明對(duì)話應(yīng)與the Edwards的生活開支和購(gòu)房計(jì)劃有關(guān)。對(duì)話中男士用反問語氣(should they be doing…?)表示反對(duì)意見They shouldn't be doing…(≈It'll be unwise…to do…)。

　　四、地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景題

　　問題是關(guān)于對(duì)話發(fā)生的場(chǎng)合、地點(diǎn)或者涉及到的人或事物所處的位置。

　　提問方式通常為：

　　Where is the conversation most probably taking place?

　　Where are the two people?

　　此類題型解題技巧如下：

　　1.單個(gè)地點(diǎn)題：抓住與特定地點(diǎn)相關(guān)的常用詞語。

　　這類題目的對(duì)話中一般不會(huì)提到具體場(chǎng)所，問題往往要求根據(jù)對(duì)話內(nèi)容推測(cè)出談話場(chǎng)所或某人的去向�？忌�要注意抓取信息詞，即與特定地點(diǎn)相關(guān)的最常用詞語。

　　2.多個(gè)地點(diǎn)題：依賴筆記，留意提問中的核心詞。

　　這類題目對(duì)話中一般會(huì)提到幾個(gè)地點(diǎn)，而就其中某一個(gè)進(jìn)行提問，解題關(guān)鍵在于區(qū)分細(xì)節(jié)，對(duì)與選項(xiàng)相關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行速記，并注意抓住提問中的核心詞。

　　3.熟悉常考的地點(diǎn)。

　　四級(jí)對(duì)話中常涉及的地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景包括：

　　診所或醫(yī)院(clinic or hospital) 餐館(restaurant)

　　學(xué)�；蛐�園(school or campus) 書店 (bookstore)

　　火車站 (railway station) 機(jī)場(chǎng) (airport)

　　圖書館 (library) 郵局(post office)

　　銀行(bank) 旅館 (hotel)

　　【真題示例4】(新06-6-15)

　　[A] At a clinic.

　　[B] In a supermarket.

　　[C] At a restaurant.

　　[D] In an ice-cream shop.

　　M: I’ll have the steak, French Fries, and let’s see, chocolate ice-cream for dessert.

　　W: Oh-oh, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat and sugar, how about ordering some vegetables and fruit instead?

　　Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

　　【解析】地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景題。本題是問對(duì)話最可能發(fā)生在哪。由對(duì)話中steak, ice-cream, order等關(guān)鍵詞即可推斷出對(duì)話應(yīng)該是發(fā)生在餐館。
