單就聽力長對話而言，長對話作為六級聽力改革后的新題型體現(xiàn)了四六級命題組對于考試改革的訴求——強(qiáng)調(diào)在實(shí)際環(huán)境中的語言運(yùn)用能力。涉及到的對話場景內(nèi)容非常廣泛，從校園生活到生活中的各種場景。學(xué)生可以通過抓住“信號詞” 來判斷具體場景。經(jīng)常涉及到的場景有：旅游(飛機(jī)、機(jī)場、出行準(zhǔn)備等)、校園、工作面試、訪談等。

　　解析：針對文章本身，我們秉承一貫的解析傳統(tǒng)，將原文和考點(diǎn)的出處以及正確答案分別作了標(biāo)注，考生可以一一對應(yīng)，自行找出字里行間的考點(diǎn)。

　　做題的時(shí)候一定要和短文一樣對題目的出題位置有明確的把握，位置感很重要。一般而言，對話時(shí)，開頭的客套以及問候與結(jié)尾的道別結(jié)束語很少出題，而對話中段往往才是重點(diǎn)。
