四級考試聽力技巧(2)

字號:

2、 對話內(nèi)容分類
    若按對話內(nèi)容分類,則可分為以下幾種類型:
    A、時間類:包括直接型和計算型。如:
    W: Your library books are due on December 13th. If you have not finished using them by then, you may renew them once.
    M: Thank you very much . I only need them for a few days.
    Q: When must the man return his books to the library?
    B、數(shù)字類:包括直接型和計算型。如: W: Do you live in a college dormitory?
    M: Yes, I do. It's a six-man suite, but at the moment only four of us live there.
    Q: How many people share the suite now?
    C、地點類:包括直接型和含蓄型。如:
    M: I need to cash this check?
    W: Will you step right over to the teller's window, please?
    Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
    D、否定類:此類對話既可以含有not,no,neither,nor等否定詞,也有 but,although等轉(zhuǎn)折詞,或由would rather,too...to結(jié)構(gòu)及虛擬語氣等表達。因此,對于后者要特別加以注意。如:
    M: Ann, do you have any extra money you could loan me?
    W: I wish I could help you. I went shopping yesterday. Now I have only two dollars till the end of the week.
    Q: Will the man borrow any money from the woman?
    此題的答案肯定是No。聽這段話時要抓住I wish I could help you.這一關(guān)鍵話語。這句話雖然從表面上看是肯定式,但卻隱含著I'm sorry I can't help you.的意思。
