第三節 短對話
一、短對話解題技巧點撥
一般來說，短對話部分共有8組對話，8個問題，每個對話涉及一個問題，彼此之間無聯系。而且，與聽力部分的其他題目相比，短對話是相對簡單的一種題型。它的內容與大學生的日常生活結合最緊密，可能會涉及到學習、考試、住宿、交際、天氣、購物、就餐、旅游、約會、交通、工作、送行、會議、娛樂、鍛煉、職業等方面。
就解題方法和技巧而言，除了聽力通用的“聯系想內容，區別(反義)定答案;相似可能選，絕對定不選;積極可能選，消極必不選”的基本原則之外，短對話的解題有一個與其他題型特別不同之處，即：聽啥不選啥。“聽啥不選啥”，是指對原文直接重復的選項一般不是正確答案。這是因為短對話比較簡單，要求考生能完全聽懂，并對聽到的內容有比較深刻的理解。例如：
A)Having confidence in her son.
B)Telling her son not to worry.
C)Teaching her son by herself.
D)Asking the teacher for extra help.
W: What would you do if you were in my place?
M: If Paul were my son, I’d just not worry. Now that his teacher is giving him extra help and he is working hard himself, he’s sure to do well in the next exam.
Q: What’s the man’s suggestion to the woman?
【技巧點撥】選項B中出現了原文的not worry，選項D中出現了原文的his teacher is giving him extra help，但是正確答案A幾乎沒有出現對話中的原詞。
