編輯點評：這篇文章很系統的介紹了CET中聽力測試的重點題型，可讀性很強！

　　(2)說話雙方之間的關系
      該題型是上一題型的延伸,要求同學們能判斷說話者雙方的身份,問題經常是What's the relationship between the two speakers?
      ①W: How long will it take you to fix my watch?
      M: I'll call you when it's ready. But it shouldn't take longer than a week.
      Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
      A. Librarian and student.
      B. Operator and caller.
      C. Boss and secretary.
      D. Customer and repairman.
      既然女士讓男的fix my watch,說明對方是repairman,而自己是customer。

　　②M: Sorry to trouble you. But is there any possibility of borrowing a blanket? I feel cold.
      W: I think we've got one. Could you wait until after take-off please?
      Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
      A. A guest and a receptionist.
      B. A passenger and an air hostess.
      C. A customer and a shop assistant.
      D. A guest and a waitress.
      take-off一詞的使用說明女的是空姐,答案自然是B。
      可以看出,職業、身份以及說話雙方關系的選擇所依據的同樣是信息詞。當然,要判斷雙方的關系,還可以從說話的方式入手。如：
      ③M: Make thirty copies for me and twenty copies for Mr. Brown.
      W: Certainly sir. As soon as I make the final corrections on the original.
      Q: What's the relationship between the two speakers?
      A. Boss and secretary.
      B. Lawyer and client.
      C. Teacher and student.
      D. Nurse and patient.
      兩人間說話的語氣和方式表明是"老板與秘書"的關系。

      3）計算題
      計算題在四六級英語聽力中屬于比較難的題型,要求同學們不僅能分辨不同的時間、金錢等數量概念,還應能將聽到的各個數量聯系起來進行加減運算。如：
      ①M: Your son seems to have made much progress in playing the piano. Does he attend any piano classes?    
      W: Yes, he takes lessons twice a week, but from next week on, he will go to the class on Saturday evenings, too.
      Q: How often will the woman's son have piano lessons from next week on?
      A. Once a week.
      B. Twice a week.
      C. Three times a week.
      D. Four times a week.
      兩次加一次自然是三次,答案是C。

　　②W: Professor Clark said that the mid-term exam would cover the first 15 lessons.
      M: Really? I thought it only included the first 12 lessons. Then I must spend the weekend going over the rest of the lessons.
      Q: How many lessons must the man review over the weekend? 
      A. Five lessons.
      B. Three lessons.
      C. Twelve lessons
      D. Fifteen lessons.
      這是最簡單的計算題,只要同學們不將答案誤認為是C或D,就不會出錯。
     
      ③W: Here's a 10-dollar bill. Give me two tickets for tonight's show please.
      M: Sure. Two tickets and here is '1,40 change.
      Q: How much does one ticket cost?
      A.'1.40. B.'4.30. C.'6.40. D.'8.60
      10美元,兩張票,找零1.40美元,說明每張票為4.30美元。
      從以上例子可以看出,含有數量概念的題,對話中提到的數量一般不可能為正確答案,總要同學們進行一些簡單的加減運算。 
 
      4）言外之意、弦外之音
      推測說話者話中之話是聽力中必考的題型。從試題的設計特點來看,大體有一下幾種：

　　(1)對虛擬語氣的考查
      包含虛擬語氣的聽力考題中一般都有"是與非"相對的選項,這就要求同學們了解虛擬語氣的表意功能,根據虛擬語氣判斷正確選項。如：
      ①W: I'm thinking of going to Austin for a visit. Do you think it's worth seeing?
      M: Well, I wish I had been there.
      Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
      A. The man is planning a trip to Austin.
      B. The man has not been to Austin before. 
      C. The man doesn't like Austin.
      D. The man has been to Austin before.
      I wish I had been there.說明說話人沒有去過。

　　②W: If it hadn't been snowing so hard, I might have been home by 9 o'clock.
      M: It's too bad you didn't make it. Jane was here and she wanted to see you.
      Q: What happened to the woman?
      A. She got home before 9 o'clock.
      B. She had a bad cold.
      C. She had a car accident.
      D. She was delayed.
      If it hadn't been snowing so hard, I might have been home by 9 o'clock.說明因為雪太大,說話者未能在9點前到家。也就是說she was delayed。
