四、對話中邏輯關系處

　　長對話中經(jīng)常會涉及到表示轉折、因果等邏輯關系的短語或句式，這些地方也很受出題人的青睞。

　　【例3】(新06-6-22)

　　[A] She's worried about the seminar.

　　[B] The man keeps interrupting her.

　　[C]She finds it too hard.

　　[D] She lacks interest in it.

　　W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through although, but I keep drifting away.

　　M: So it doesn't really hold your interest?

　　W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at the university.

　　22. Why can't Karen concentrate on the book?

　　【解析】推斷題。女士話中but轉折后內(nèi)容表明女士對那本書并不感興趣，緊接著男士和女士的一問一答再次揭示本題的答案為[D]。

　　五、對話中建議處

　　對話中一方給另一方提出的建議或意見常常會被作為出題的重點，因此，聽音時要注意捕捉一些特殊的表達建議的句式，如You’d better…, why not do…?等。

　　【例1】(06-12-20)

　　[A] Study the map of Quebec Province.

　　[B] Find more about Quebec City.

　　[C] Brush up on her French.

　　[D] Learn more about the local customs.

　　M: Well, …In fact, Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. So[20] you’d better practice your French before you go.

　　W: Good advice. …

　　20. What does the man advise the woman to do before the trip?

　　【解析】細節(jié)題。由男士話中的you’d better…可知他建議女士在去旅行前先練習一下法語(practice French≈Brush up on French)，故答案為[C]。

　　六、對話中比較處

　　形容詞、副詞的比較級和最高級，以及than, as…as等引出的比較結構也是長對話題的設題重點之一。這類題目的選項中經(jīng)常會含有比較結構，考生要學會利用選項所給提示抓取關鍵點。

　　【例4】(新06-6-23)

　　[A]The lectures are boring.

　　[B]The course is poorly designed.

　　[C] She prefers Philosophy to English.

　　[D] She enjoys literature more.

　　W: I should say, I don't like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less.

　　M: It's not just the book, it's the course as well?

　　W: Yeah, ……You see, I wanted to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.

　　23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?

　　【解析】細節(jié)題。本題是在對話中的比較處命題(like the course less and less)。女士話中的do philosophy rather than English表明女士寧愿學哲學而不愿學英語。rather than意為“而不是，不愿”。
