解析：本篇長對話可以歸入求職場景，對話形式為訪談。根據(jù)我們昂立四級課堂上為大家強調(diào)的“首尾技巧”，長對話開頭結(jié)尾個設(shè)置了一題，即19題和22題，所以這兩道題目對于考生來說，還是比較容易把握的。第20題的題干 “Whatdoes the man think is the hardest part of his job?”， 與聽力原文 “What’s hardabout the job?” 措辭基本一致，答案比容交易抓住，原文為 “You’restanding up all the time. When we’re busy, people get angry and sharp. Butthat’s normal?！?， 意為“你總是站著；繁忙的時候，客人會生氣，變得尖刻，但是這很正?！?，對應(yīng)的正確答案進(jìn)行了抽象化概括，為“Itdemands physical endurance and patience。”，意思是“這份工作需要體力上的耐力和耐心”。
長對話原文第二篇：
W: Now you’veseen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?
M: Yes. I thought it was quiteinteresting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled “change”. Can youexplain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the changefrom the year before. I’m not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 72pto 90p, is the rise of 25%。
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflationrate is there for comparison。
W: Yes. Why doyou think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: I’m sorry, I’ve no idea. Perhapsparents in Britain
are too generous。
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as ifchildren were a lot better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange,isn’t it? And they seemed to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. Iwonder why that is。
M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all。
W: Anyway, if you had children, how muchpocket money would you give them?
M: I don’t know. I think I probably givethem two pounds a week。
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out ofthat they have to buy some small personal things. But I wouldn’t expectthem to save to buy their own socks for example。
W: Yes. By the way, do most children inyour country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do。
Questions 23 to question 25 are based onthe conversation you have just heard:
Q 23: What is the table of figuresabout?
Q 24: What do we learn from theconversation about British children’s pocket money?
Q 25: Supposing the man had children,what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?
四級答案/長對話第二篇：
23. A) The pocket money British children get。
24. C) It often rises higher than inflation。
25. B) Pay for small personal things。
解析：本篇長對話討論英國兒童的零花錢(pocketmoney)，兩人討論的是一張數(shù)據(jù)表(tableof figures)，里面出現(xiàn)了四級高頻詞“inflation(通貨膨脹)”。23題的答案就是speaker張嘴第一句話，“Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket moneychildren in Britain get?”，可以說是送給考生的一道題目。對話里提到英國兒童零花錢上升的速度要超過該國通貨膨脹的速度。同樣，后一題的答案也是出現(xiàn)在對話結(jié)尾。
總體而言，兩篇長對話的難度基本與往年持平，第一篇相比第二篇難度略低，諸如連讀、失爆等語音現(xiàn)象較多，對考生的語音能力進(jìn)行了較為嚴(yán)格的考察。希望考生在今后的備考中，加強跟讀和模仿，改善自己的發(fā)音。
