單就長對話而言，長對話作為六級聽力改革后的新題型體現了命題組對于考試改革的訴求——強調在實際環境中的語言運用能力。涉及到的對話場景內容非常廣泛，從校園生活到生活中的各種場景。學生可以通過抓住“信號詞” 來判斷具體場景。經常涉及到的場景有：旅游(飛機，機場，出行準備等)，校園，工作面試，訪談等。

　　聽力原文：

　　W: Right, well, in the studio this morning, for our interview spot is Peter Wilson(人名，重要). Peter works for Green Peace (特殊表達，文章主題詞). So, Peter, welcome。

　　M: Thanks a lot. It's good to be here。

　　W: Great! Now, Peter, perhaps you can tell us something about Green Peace and your job there. (寒暄，為了迷惑考生，此處進入正題)

　　M: Sure. Well, I'll start by telling you roughly what Green Peace is all about. I actually work in London for the Green Peace organization(人物職業，22題考點1). We've been going for a few decades and we're a non-violent, non-political organization. We're involved in anti-nuclear activity, conservation and protection of animals and protection and support of our eco-system. I'm the action organizer and arrange any protests。(人物職業重復，22題考點。視聽基本一致原則。)

　　W: Right! A pretty important role. Peter. What sort of protest would you organize?

　　M: Well, recently we've been involved in anti-nuclear campaigns. (問答關系，23題考點。視聽一致原則。)I, personally arranged for the demonstration against radioactive waste dumping in the Atlantic Ocean. We've got a few small Green Peace boats that we harass(特殊詞匯，首次出現，24題考點2) the dumping ship with。

　　W: Say? Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by "harass"? (重復核心詞，也是問題所在。問答關系。)

　　M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea。(針對問題harass的具體回答，24題考點。) We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance as possible。

　　M: Well, people may think differently of your methods, but there's no doubt you're doing a great job。(轉折詞but+態度判斷詞great，25題考點4)， keep it up and good luck (繼續態度判斷). And thanks for talking with us。

　　W: Thanks for having me。

　　Q22. What is the man's chief responsibility in the Green Peace organization?

　　Q23. What has Green Peace been involved in recently?

　　Q24. How does Green Peace try to stop people from dumping nuclear waste?

　　Q25. What is the woman's attitude towards the Green Peace's campaigns?

　　Keys: ABAD

　　解析：做題的時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，開頭的客套以及問候與結尾的道別結束語很少出題，而對話中段往往才是重點。另外，本段長對話使用到了視聽基本一致的原則。24題的考法是長對話中最典型的一種，就是針對動作行為進行發問，考點在于考生需要聽明白人物發出的動作是什么，原文的動詞harass和選項的harass是一摸一樣，屬于最簡單的考法，而且原文重復兩次，因此考生對此即便是不知道harass是什么意思也能選對。25題的考法是一貫的長對話結尾題，往往以態度判斷和結論作為考察對象，此題選項均為態度詞，很容易判斷，另外，注意到選項呈現“三負一正”的格局，因此答案是顯然的。本段長對話的幾個特色詞匯也需要注意：harass指“騷擾”，綠色和平組織采取“和平騷擾”的方式，影響那些傾倒核廢料(dumping nuclear waste)的人們，而沒有采取訴諸武力(resorting force)的方式。
