單就長對話而言，長對話作為六級聽力改革后的新題型體現了命題組對于考試改革的訴求——強調在實際環境中的語言運用能力。涉及到的對話場景內容非常廣泛，從校園生活到生活中的各種場景。學生可以通過抓住“信號詞” 來判斷具體場景。經常涉及到的場景有：旅游(飛機，機場，出行準備等)，校園，工作面試，訪談等。

　　我們分析一篇文章。

　　例題：2008年12月長對話1

　　W: Right, well, in the studio this morning, for our interview spot is Peter Wilson 【人名，重要】. Peter works for Green Peace 【特殊表達，文章主題詞】. So, Peter, welcome。

　　M: Thanks a lot. It's good to be here。

　　W: Great! Now, Peter, perhaps you can tell us something about Green Peace and your job there.【寒暄，為了迷惑考生，此處進入正題】

　　M: Sure. Well, I'll start by telling you roughly what Green Peace is all about. I actually work in London for the Green Peace organization(人物職業，22題考點1). We've been going for a few decades and we're a non-violent, non-political organization. We're involved in anti-nuclear activity, conservation and protection of animals and protection and support of our eco-system. I'm the action organizer and arrange any protests。(人物職業重復，22題考點1)

　　W: Right! A pretty important role, Peter. What sort of protest would you organize?

　　M: Well, recently we've been involved in anti-nuclear campaigns. (問答關系，23題考點2)I, personally arranged for the demonstration against radioactive waste dumping in the Atlantic Ocean. We've got a few small Green Peace boats that we harass(特殊詞匯，首次出現，24題考點2) the dumping ship with。

　　W: Say? Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by "harass"?(重復核心詞，也是問題所在。問答關系。)

　　M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea。(針對問題harass的具體回答，24題考點3) We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance as possible。

　　M: Well, people may think differently of your methods, but there's no doubt you're doing a great job。(轉折詞but+態度判斷詞great，25題考點4) Keep it up and good luck (繼續態度判斷). And thanks for talking with us。

　　W: Thanks for having me。
