3.根據常識去判斷
考生在聽的過程中要用已有的知識去分析材料內容。有些句子或詞語因為某種原因沒有完全聽懂,可根據已獲得部分信息、一般常識來挑選可能性較大的選項。
1998年6月試題(Section B.passage Ⅱ)講的是有關美國私立學校的情況,私立學校一般很少獲得政府的財政支持而是向學生收取學費。當我們回答14題Why is it usually expensive to attend religious and private school時,四個選項中B最符合這種常理。
A)The number of students they take in is limited
B)They receive little or no support from public taxes
C)They are only open to children from rich families
D)They have to pay more taxes
