首先我們來(lái)看一下樣題中給出的兩篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話。
Conversation One
W: Hello, Gary. How’re you?
M: Fine! And yourself?
W: Can’t complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?
M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?
W: Sure. I’ve been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should’ve been installed long ago.
M: How much will that cost?
W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.
M: OK. We’ll have to discuss these costs with finance.
W: We should also consider human resources. I’ve been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.
M: And what’s the picture?
W: We’ll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory.
M: What about advertising?
W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.
M: TV? Isn’t that a bit too expensive for us? What’s wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?
W: Quite frankly, it’s just not enough anymore. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.
M: Will we be able to afford all this?
W: I’ll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.
M: We’ll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.
W: All right. I’ll see to it.
Questions 19 to 20 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19.What are the two speakers talking about?
20.What does the woman say about the equipment of their factory?
21.What does the woman suggest about human resources?
22. Why does the woman suggest advertising on TV?
第一篇文章給我們的第一印象是篇幅非常的長(zhǎng)。之前我們的預(yù)測(cè)是6-8個(gè)回合的對(duì)話考5道題目，而現(xiàn)在發(fā)現(xiàn)篇幅遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了這個(gè)預(yù)測(cè)，題目卻少了一道，這也給同學(xué)們?cè)诙虝r(shí)間內(nèi)從大量信息中尋找答案制造了困難。不過(guò)如果大家再回過(guò)頭仔細(xì)去看看我用下劃線標(biāo)示出來(lái)的這些內(nèi)容，馬上就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這些部分就是4道題目的答案出處，而且每次答案的出現(xiàn)都伴隨著一個(gè)問題。這首先就說(shuō)明了一點(diǎn)，每每遇到問答的形式都是考官青睞的考點(diǎn)，而且考試的重點(diǎn)往往落在答語(yǔ)上。這一點(diǎn)和短對(duì)話中體現(xiàn)的原則不謀而合，而且短對(duì)話中的建議請(qǐng)求原則也和此處的情況及其相似。另外還有一個(gè)特點(diǎn)，大家觀察后不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，并不是每一組問答都被作為考點(diǎn)，而作為考試重點(diǎn)的幾組問題之間關(guān)聯(lián)性是不大的。換句話來(lái)說(shuō)，第一個(gè)問題考察了文章的main idea, 從第二個(gè)問題開始分別考察了new business strategy 所呈現(xiàn)的3方面問題。其中每一個(gè)方面選擇了一個(gè)最重要的問題來(lái)考察，這一點(diǎn)又和以往的passage考察方法很類似，特別是人物生平發(fā)展或者故事類的題目很相似，每一方面的內(nèi)容只考察一道題目，而且出題的順序和文章的順序是一致的。
