總體上，本次四級考試的短對話語句并不長，所牽涉到的詞匯多屬于歷年真題中反復考到過的重要場景詞，所以總體難度上與往屆考試基本持平。一言以蔽之，短對話的制勝之道在于“場景”。尤其是文都課堂上我們反復提到的常考場景。下面舉幾個這次四級真題的例子。

一、車站場景

11. W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?

M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

點評：涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯，如bus schedule，ticket window，這些在文都聽力課堂上都反復提到。

二、趕車/飛機場景

13. W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.

M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.

Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

點評：涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯，如Airport，take the fastest way并不陌生。

三、就餐場景

14. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.

M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

點評：涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯，如seafood，make a recommendation。

四、應聘招聘場景

15. W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?

M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.

Q: What do we learn about the man?

點評：涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯，如position in the company，the position of sales manager，vacant在文都課堂上都提到過。

五、天氣場景

18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it?

M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time.

Q：What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?

點評：涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯，如the weather was cooperative，picnic。

一言以蔽之，對“場景”的掌握程度，決定著短對話的分數。（文都 徐可風）
