事實狀況題

　　事實狀況題是指根據(jù)原文中提供的信息(同義詞)尋找相對應(yīng)的正確答案。在答題之前應(yīng)分析四個選項相互之間的聯(lián)系，通過其之間的差異或共性找出線索是解題之妙方。

　　【例1】 2000.6 英語四級聽力題

　　M: How are you getting on with your essay, Mary? I’m having a real hard time with mine.

　　W: After two sleepless nights, I’m finally through with it.

　　Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

　　A) The man thought the essay was easy.

　　B) They both had a hard time writing the essay.

　　C) The woman thought the essay was easy.

　　D) Neither of them has finished the assignment yet.

　　【預(yù)測】 選項都提到essay，聽時一定注意關(guān)于雙方essay的看法。

　　【解析】 兩人對話均對這個論文發(fā)表意見“having a real hard time(費(fèi)了九牛二虎之力)”、“two sleepless nights(熬了兩個通宵)”，可見兩者都覺得論文難寫，與B答案相對應(yīng)。A、C與原文相反。女士說“I’m finally through with it”表示已經(jīng)寫完，故排除D。

　　【例2】 2000.6 英語四級聽力題

　　W: Where did you say you found this bag?

　　M: It was lying under a big tree between the park and the apartment building.

　　Q: Where did the man find the bag?

　　A) In the park. B) Between two buildings.

　　C) In his apartment. D) Under a huge tree.

　　【解析】 原文中男士說到包的位置是在樹下，所以選D。樹的位置“between the park and the apartment building”可知A、B、C均為錯誤選項。
