第一部分：小對話

　　做題方式：視聽反向原則、同義替換原則，第二句話易為考點(diǎn)。

　　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(lián)系獲得了好的結(jié)果）。yielded good results和原文中的your effort has paid off產(chǎn)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?yàn)檫@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(fā)生效果），以及重復(fù)考過的out of shape （身材走樣） 等等。外語教育網(wǎng)www.for68.com

　　請關(guān)注2009年6月幾道小對話題目的原文形式和設(shè)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(shè)計(jì)方向安排在第二句的位置上。所以，考生在解題時(shí)需要將自己的聽力重點(diǎn)放在第二句上。
