字號:

二、選項均以動詞的某種形式開頭
    含有這類選項的問題為考查“行為活動”類型。根據(jù)動詞的不同形式,問題考查的重點也可能不同。
    選項均以動詞原形開頭,問題大多是關(guān)于建議某人做某事,有時也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。
    選項均為動名詞,問題大多是關(guān)于正在進(jìn)行的動作或者計劃打算。
    選項為不定式,問題很可能是關(guān)于做某事的目的,或是計劃、承諾或要求做某事。
    【例2】(新06-12- -20)
    【預(yù)覽選項】
    [A] File a lawsuit against the man.
    [B] Ask the man for compensation.
    [C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.
    [D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.
    【聽前預(yù)測】
    選項均為動詞原形,故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的行為活動。四個選項均是針對男士的行為,故本題很可能是關(guān)于某人與男士發(fā)生爭吵或沖突時所采取的應(yīng)對措施。
    【聽音驗證】
    W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.
    M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have to pick up my son.
    21. What did the woman threaten to do?
    【例3】(710分樣卷-19)
    【預(yù)覽選項】
    [A]To interview a few job applicants.
    [B]To fill a vacancy in the company.
    [C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.
    [D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.
    【聽前預(yù)測】
    選項均為不定式短語,故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人將要采取的行動。[ A ]、[ C ]是關(guān)于招聘工作(interview, advertise),[ B ]、[ D]則是關(guān)于申請工作(fill, apply for),故聽音時應(yīng)留意該行為是關(guān)于招聘還是應(yīng)聘。
