　　例題：

　　2009年12月四級考試真題第9題

　　A) She must have paid a lot for the gym. B) She is known to have a terrific figure.

　　C) Her gym exercise has yielded good results. D) Her effort to keep fit is really praiseworthy.

　　Woman: I’ve been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape.

　　Man: You look terrific! It seems that your effort has paid off.

　　Question: What does the man imply about the woman?

　　解析：可以明顯看出，本題的答案為C(她的健身房聯系獲得了好的結果)。yielded good results和原文中的your effort has paid off產生了替換作用。其中，類似gym和terrific、efforts等這樣明顯的詞匯是特別需要慎選的，因為這些詞匯都在原文中被明顯播讀過。另外本題目中還包括很多有用的說法：例如terrific figure (魔鬼身材)paid off(發生效果)，以及重復考過的out of shape (身材走樣) 等等。

　　例題：

　　請關注2009年6月幾道小對話題目的原文形式和設問方式：

　　W: There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party. How come she's got so many friends?

　　M: It's really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a child.

　　Q: What does the man imply about Kate?

　　M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night。

　　W: You'll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest a more recent model。

　　Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

　　W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled。

　　M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the word load has doubled。

　　Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

　　以上三道小對話，都把問題的設計方向安排在第二句的位置上。所以，考生在解題時需要將自己的聽力重點放在第二句上。

　　第二部分：長對話

　　做題方式：視聽基本一致原則，場景解題原則

　　視聽基本一致的含義是指，聽到的原文和看到的選項若基本一致，則選項容易為正確選擇。這一點和短對話的原則恰恰相反，請考生一定注意。另外，考生還應注意長對話第一回合句，轉折關系以及語調變化等。
