聽力文本及答案解析:
06
M: How do you manage to work and go to school at the same time
W: My classes are at night and I work during the day
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
答案 D
分析:本題選項中有一組對立選項 A和D, A選項說女人白天上學,D選項說女人晚上上學。請大家注意如果四個選項中有兩個是對立項的話,那么答案90%以上是他們其中之一,應該引起特別的重視。女人到底是白天上學還是晚上上學呢?對話中交代得很清楚了classes are at night。答案應選D
07
W: John , I don’t know what to get for your father. He has just about everything , doesn’t he ? Do you have any suggestions?
M: Why don’t you get him a pocket calculator
Q: Why doesn’t the woman know what to get for the man’s father?
答案 C
分析:上一期中我曾經和大家說過反意疑問句是一種很重要的句型。不是考點也直接指向考點。這一題中這個女人就使用了這個很強悍的句型:He has just about everything , doesn’t he ? 且這句話本身就是考點。這句話對應的答案就是C。 怎么樣?都聽到了嗎?沒聽到的下次一定要注意了哦。
08
W: It’s surprising that Tom came out of the accident alive
M: That’s true. The car crashed into the wall and was completely damaged
Q: What was the consequence of the accident ?
答案 A
分析:教給大家一個小原則“光明原則”,一般來說遇到天災人禍,我們的主人公都是可以逢兇化吉的,死人,殘廢這種那么殘忍的事情一般是不會發生的。所以遇到這種accident 我們的主人公十之八九是survive 的。 頂多也就輕傷而已。 嗯,記幾個單詞詞組吧 came out of 由……產生 從……出來。Tom came out of the accident alive 就是說湯姆經歷了這個車禍還活著。survive 幸存,生還。
09
W: I’m sorry sir . The train is somewhat behind schedule. Take a seat and I’ll tell you as soon as we know something definite.
M: Thank you I’ll just sit here and read a magazine in the meantime.
Q: What can you conclude about the train from the conversation?
答案 B
分析 behind schedule 就是對應選項B的 late . 告訴大家一個小技巧,四級考試中一般涉及到火車,飛機多半只有一個字“等”。至于“等”的原因當然多種多樣,可能是誤點,也可能是暫時沒有合適的航班等,總之就是走不了。
10
M: I sent a letter to make a reservation for a single room a few days ago
W: I’m sorry , your request arrived too later and we’re full up
Q: Are there any spare rooms at hotel
答案 A
分析 這是一題涉及賓館場景的考題,這個男人說得make a reservation意思是預訂房間。女人回答說we’re full up ,full up 意思就客滿了的意思。所以答案應該是A ,所有的房間都滿了。
最后一題涉及了一個賓館場景,那就來總結一下這個場景吧。看看在賓館中我們一般還會遇到那些事情,該怎么說。
