(三)因果關系題

　　提高這類測試題的應試能力，考生必須學會分析選擇項。根據選擇項特征確

　　定測試的具體類型。即該題是就原因提問還是就結果進行提高;同時根據選擇項

　　中的主語、人稱代詞的性質明確聽音的重點，即是集中注意力聽男聲部分還是女

　　士的談話。就原因提問的測試題，其選擇項特點較為明顯，通常都由because 引

　　導。但也不不少含蓄型的題目。這類測試題的選擇項沒有because ，不過，只要

　　認真分析一下選擇項的謂語部分也能加以確定。

　　(四)地點與場所題

　　方要去的地方，以及判斷第三者所在的位置等。這類測試通常比較簡單，提問的

　　方式比較單一，選擇項特點明顯，一般四個選擇項都是表示地點狀語的介詞短語。
