聽力
本次四級考試的聽力部分秉承了以往考試的考點和技巧，從多方位考察了考生聽力的能力和對文章內容的理解把握。
短對話
首先，從短對話來看，語言考點本身的繼承表現為考察重點和語言表達兩個方面。
從考察重點上來看，歷年四級考試都注重了原因、轉折、建議、反問等內容的考察。而從這次的四級考試中可以看到類似的蹤跡：
11. W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?
M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore.
Q: What does the man mean?
此題明顯考察了轉折考點，對男人回答中but部分針對提問。
12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need.
W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don’t we go together?
Q: What does the woman mean?
此題明顯考察了反問和建議考點，對女人回答中部分why don’t we go together?針對提問。
15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t let me pass!
M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.
Q: What does the man imply?
本題考察建議句型考點，以if I were you的方式表達了男人對該觀點的認可。
從語言表達上來看，歷年四級考試都注重了語音、語調、語速，場景詞匯和詞組，句式表達和考察。而從這次的四級考試中可以看到類似的蹤跡：
14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?
M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.
Q: What does the man mean?
本題主要考察語言表達的語音上的特色，用英音的方式讀的schedule對考生來說有相當難度。
13. M: Forgive the mess in here, we had a party last night. There were a lot of people ⻆뚕ꗖ몣븊䅮ᄕᚔhttp://bulo.hjenglish.com/group.htm©版權所有滬江網ᚔᄕ䅮븊몣ꗖ뚕⻆and they all brought food.
W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today.
Q: What does the woman think the man will do?
本題屬于06年6月24日第一次新題型第12題的內容更新。當時原題也是提到了make a mess，并且clean it up yourself的表達。
16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come.
W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.
Q: What does the woman imply?
本題是短對話中考得最神奇的一道題，該題是對95年6月考題的完全重復，唯一的區別是把讀題的男女雙方換了一下。無獨有偶的是，去年長對話就出現了對89年考題的原文重復，將89年第十題的短對話變成了長對話考題的一個回合內容。正如筆者曾分析的，考生必須對老題重新樹立一個正確的態度，畢竟來說，重復十年內考題的概率要低很多，反而是更早的考題不容易引起正義。
