Conversation Two
W: Sir, you’ve been using the online catalogue for quite a while , Is there anything I can do to help you?
M: Well, I’ve got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I’m really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don’t know where to begin.
W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don’t you narrow it down to something like…uh… the history of the studios during that time?
M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more that 30 books came up when I typed in “movie studios.”
W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding “1930s” or “1940s” or maybe “Golden Age.”
M: “Golden Age” is a good idea. Let me type that in … Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That’s a lot better.
W: Oh… another thin you might consider… have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles?
M: No, I’ve only been searching for books.
W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles. Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there’s anything you want.
M: Okay, I think I’ll get started with these books and then I’ll go over the magazines.
W: If you need any help, I’ll be over at the Reference Desk.
M: Great, thanks a lot.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What is the man doing?
24. What does the librarian think of the topic the man is working on?
25. Where can the man find the relevant magazine articles?
從劃線出我們再次發(fā)現(xiàn)，驚人的相似！問答式的考點(diǎn)，分層次的考察，建議請求的運(yùn)用。特別明顯的是對話的開頭部分一直在糾纏如何narrow down topic, 所以只考察了一道題目，第二道題目直到對話的中后部才出現(xiàn)，因為兩個人直到那時才從book轉(zhuǎn)到magazine這個話題上來。此外，這兩則對話還秉承了passage的一個重要的考場方式，就是在對話的開頭部分一定會出題目。這一點(diǎn)的考察利用的是考生往往很難在一個段落剛開始的時候集中注意力，所以這時候考察的題目難度就顯得很高。
