Conversation one：
M： Hello. Matt Ellis speaking.
W： Hello， Dr. Ellis， my name‘s Pan Johnson. My roommate， Janet Holmes， wanted me to call you.
M： Janet Holmes? Oh， that‘s right. She’s in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her?
W： Nothing， it‘s just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She’s afraid she won‘t be able to attend your class this afternoon though. I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. Janet said it‘s due today.
M： Certainly， that would be fine. Uh， you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office.
W： Would it be all right to come by your office around 4：00? I‘m afraid I can’t come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon.
M： Uh， I won‘t be here when you come. I’m supposed to be at a meeting from 3：00 to 6：00， but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5：00. W： Fine， please tell her I‘ll be there at 4：00. And Dr. Ellis， one more thing， could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is， but she didn’t give me directions to your office.
M： Well， I‘m in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I’ll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box， and I‘ll get it when I return.
W： I sure appreciate it. Goodbye， Dr. Ellis.
M： Goodbye， Ms. Johnson.

Conversation 2：
W： How are things going， Roald?
M： Not bad， Jane. I‘m involved in several projects and it’s a long working day. But I‘m used to that so it doesn’t bother me too much.
W： I heard you have moved to a new house in the suburb. How do you like commuting to London every day? Don‘t you find it a string?
M： It was terrible at first， especially getting up before dawn to catch that 6：30 train. But it‘s bearable now that I’ m used to it.
W： Don‘t you think it’s an awful waste of time? I couldn‘t bear to spend three hours sitting in a train every day.
M： I used to feel the same as you. But now I quite enjoy it.
W： How do you pass the time? Do you bring some work with you to do on the train?
M： Ah， that‘s a good question. In the morning， I just sit in comfort and read the papers to catch up with the news. On the way home at night， I relax with a good book or chat with friends or even have a game of bridge.
W： I suppose you know lots of people on the train now.
M： Yes， I bumped into someone I know on the platform every day. Last week I came across a couple of old school friends and we spend the entire journey in the bar.
W： It sounds like a good club. You never know. I may join it too.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12. What does the man say about his job?
13. Which train does the man take to work every day?
14. How does the man feel about commuting to work every day now?
15. How does the man spend his time on the morning train?
Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second language teachers, are those which are identical in form, but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Columbian who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement, in which all the fingers of one hand cupped point downward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English have a similar gesture, though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely. But for them, the gesture means "goodbye" or "go away", quite the opposite of the Columbian gesture. Again in Columbia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height, he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter. In Columbia, this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings, he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture physically, but its meaning differs shar*。

13. B The 6:30 one
14. C The time on the train is enjoyable
15. A Reading newspapers.
Passage One
Most American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as much information as possible from the first or second reading.
An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it's important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Don't mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time.
16. What should American college students do to cope with their heavy reading assignments?
17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a textbook?
18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?
Passage Two
The thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!
Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all.
19. What is taken for granted by most people?
20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?
21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessness?
Passage Three
Hetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.
22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?
23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?
24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?
25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?

Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today、it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that mirrors the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.
There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal — saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants, the excellent service, and the guaranteed quality of food.
However From the nutritional point of view. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible.
Therefore, fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. (157 words)
From the above table, we can see that the students of this university have three mainchoices after graduation. Of these choices, the students who have found a job only take up50%. In contrast, students who pursue further study by taking the postgraduate entranceexam or going abroad have increased greatly than before, with the total percentage of 47%.Indeed, this phenomenon is also quite common in other universities.
The following factors can account for the choices of graduates. Above all, with theenrollment extension of universities, college graduates are facing the severe employmentsituation, which forces them to find another way out. Moreover, in information age, knowledgeis updated very rapidly. Many college students find their knowledge is not enough for theirfuture career. Besides, some college students would not like to enter into the complicatedsociety and want to escape from the reality temporarily by going to further study.
From my point of view, one’s choice after graduation should be based on his individualcondition. Though taking the postgraduate entrance exam or going abroad for further study isa good choice, it is not necessarily true of everyone, because it might involve many factors,such as your future career direction, your economic condition. Therefore, we should take a fullaccount before we make our decisions.

在*文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福，在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时，通常放在红信封里。红色在*流行的另一个原因是人们把它与*革命和*相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写*人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。
参考答案
In Chinese culture, red usually symbols luckiness, longevity and happiness, therefore, red can be seen everywhere in Spring Festival and other celebrating occasions. When people give money as gift to families or close friends, they often put money in red envelopes. The other reason why red is so popular in China is that it is, at times, connected with Chinese revolution and the Communist party. Whereas, red does not always mean luckiness and happiness because in the past names of the dead were often written in red, therefore, it is an offensive behavior when people write Chinese names in red ink.

——大学英语四级听力技巧 (菁华3篇)
1、在听录音之前，考生应将所有选项浏览一遍，这样可以对短文内容和文体有个大致的了解和判断。通过纵向、横向比较能发现一些解题的重要信息，如否定词、转折词、重复出现的单词和短语，这些都能够帮助推断短文内容及问题类型。
2、要注意捕捉每篇文章或每一段开头的一句话，因为它们往往是该篇或该段落的主题句，概括了文章的主要内容或对下**出了重要提示。
3、要密切注意短文中事件发生的时间、地点、人物和情节这些要素，因为短文后的问题通常会以what， when， where， which， who， why， whose， how等疑问词开头。
4、从整体上了解短文的中心内容，根据题目的要求把握主要情节或论点，在不影响听的前提下做笔记，把回答问题的关键词语及内容记录下来。
5、听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感，及时做好笔记;
文中一旦出现：
因果连词（如：because，so，due to等）
转折连词（如but，however，though等）
这些词引导的句子，也要格外留心，这些地方往往就是考点。
6、要特别注意试题的排列次序，因为这类题型常常是将小题按所对应的录音材料内容的顺序排列。如果没有时间预先阅读选项或时间不宽裕，考生可以边听录音边依次浏览选项，同时进行思考、答题。
一.四级考试大纲对听力的要求
在国家英语四级考试中，听力部分占总分的20%，即20分。《大纲》对于四级的要求是：对于题材熟悉，句子结构比较简单，基本上没有生词，语速每分钟约120词的听力材料，一遍可以听懂，理解的准确率不低于70%。听力是考试的重点，也是*学生的弱点。因此掌握四级听力技巧对于通过考试至关重要。
二.四级听力题型
1.SectionA(对话题)：对话题基本是衣、食、住、行等日常生活中常见的话题和学校生活的话题。
2.SectionB(短文理解题)：ScetionB一般由三篇短文组成，每篇字数在150-170左右，只读一遍，然后提出三到四个问题要求考生进行选择，主要测试的是考生的语篇记忆力和整体的听力理解能力。
听力技巧-把握主题
听力和阅读需要许多技巧。发现某段落的主题就是其中之一。
什么是段落主题?怎样才能找到它?
段落主题也可理解为这个段落的中心意思，或者是体现这个段落的主旨和方向的核心意思。换句话说就是，你找主题的过程也就是确定这个段落的主要目的的过程：它是要告诉你一件事?还是解释说明，亦或是详细叙述?它是要与其它某事或某物作比较，还是要反驳某件事，亦或是就某点说服你?凡此种种目的，不一而足。明白了这一点，你就能够比较容易地找到段落的中心意思了。
体现段落中心意思的句子叫主题句，常放在段首，而且往往是段落的第一句。其后所跟的其它句子，提供支持这个主题句的全部细节。
当要讨论的是一个比较费解的意思，或者说当一个段落的目的是要说服你时，主题句有时放在段末。
如果某个段落有着暗含的中心意思，通常没有明确的主题句来体现。这个暗含的中心意思要从这个段落的整体来把握。
听力技巧-学会放过
许多英语学*者认为听力理解的最大难点是，听者无法控制说话者的语速。往往还没来得及把一个意思弄明白，而说话者就已经转到另一个意思上去了，不像阅读书面文章那样，可以返回头重看前面的内容。这种现象表明这些听力练*者跟不上说话人的语速。有两种听不懂的情况，一种是，太专注于思索刚听到的一句话，而无法听到下面的话;另一种情况是，因为不能足够迅速地把所有听到的整理一清而遗漏了整段话。
另一个难点是听者不能老让说话人重复其前面所说过的话。此外，当你听收音机或看电视时，当然也不能让其重复。
尽管在某些情况下可以打断说话者要求其讲得更清楚，但词汇选择权在说话者而非听者。有时，听者可以从上下文发现某个词的意思。但对于听外语的人来说，一个生词经常就象突然不期而至的障碍一样，使其停下来思考这个词的意思，而把后面的讲话全部漏掉。在听的过程中，这确实是一?quot;稍纵即逝"的现象。
事实上，在听的时候，学会放过某些暂时不明白的词或句子不去追究而接着听下面的话往往会得到ss意想不到的惊喜效果。而且，说话者对这些东西往往不只说一次，或者会在接下来的话中换一种方式说，或者另一个说话人会对前面所说过的作反应。这样，没有对某个一知半解的意思苦苦思索的听者就会有第二次，甚至第三次机会把前面略过的意思补全了。
学生们要学会跟上说话者的思想速度(甚至比说话者还要快)，即使这意味着将某些没有听清或听懂的放过去。H.H.斯特恩教授说，一个善于学*语言的人是那种"能够忍受认知上一时糊涂和缺欠的人"。这一点的确是真的。要成为一个好的听者，记住这点很重要。
（一）英语四级听力答题技巧
1、短对话的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有8道试题，对话一般是有两个不同的说话者进行问答或者交流，然后由第三个说话者针对对话内容进行提问，提问形式一般是特殊疑问句的形式，问题主要涉及到对话的主题、人物关系、时间、地点、情节等，英语学*者要注意听懂双方对话中话语的隐含意义。在大学英语四级考试听力的考试过程中，英语学*者可以根据自己在听的时候的理解以及听之前的预测迅速地在题目的A，B，C，D选项后面做一些自己明白的记号，比如在认为有可能成为答案的选项后面或者根本没有可能成为答案的选项后面分别做不同的记号，这样当听到问题的时候就可以很确定地选择答案。
2、长对话的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有7道试题，两个长对话，和短对话一样，长对话的答案一般也是从上面短对话的几个方面去考虑得出答案。要注意的是，有时候同一个长对话里的不同问题，答案可能从不同的方面得出。做这部分试题的时候，要注意以下几点：听音前，尽可能地把3或者4道试题的选项浏览一遍，根据选项猜测可能出现的问题及提问方式。听音时，迅速抓住与选项及所猜测问题有关的关键词，速记有关内容或者在选项后面做记号，在有可能成为答案的选项后面做记号，在绝对没有可能成为答案的选项后面做记号，当然两种记号肯定应该不一样。听清问题，修正猜测问题，做出正确选择。另外在长对话中，由于问题不止一个，为了防止听了后面，忘了前面，因此在听的过程中，参照各题的选项，做一些简要的笔记，是很有用的，特别是听到数字、时间、龄、地点等问题时，简要的笔记尤其有用。
（二）提升听力成绩的三大要素：
要素一、精听
坚持每天花半小时精听，不要间断。建议至少听三轮：第一轮：将没有听清楚和明白的地方标注出来。第二轮：第一轮中标注的地方仔细听，直到听懂，修改第一轮的答案。然后对照标准答案，错误地方的认真分析，标注。第三轮：边听边写下内容，可以先尝试短对话，再写写长对话，写完后对照原文，查漏补缺。精听的内容可以选择模拟题或05-10年的真题，剩下的真题留到后期做整套的检测。
要素二、泛听
泛听的内容就不用局限于考试题型了。VOA，英音版《新概念》第二册或第三册，以及英文歌曲都可以作为泛听材料。吃饭时，睡觉前都可以听，不要求每句话都听懂，主要是让自己的耳朵适应英语语言环境。下载一批到自己mp3里，这批听的大概意思都差不多能听明白时就换下一批。
要素三、掌握一定的'听力技巧
听力基础能力的提升固然重要，但对于要迫切通过四六级的考生来说，技巧的掌握可使大家通关事半功倍。
在线网络短文与短对话题型的小技巧。
1、听什么就选什么：视听一致，边听边选，一一对应。
2、顺序原则：注意题目和文章的考点有先后顺序对应的关系。
——英语四级考试听力技巧通用五篇
一、理解好题意，做到心中有数
在听写考试中，我们发现不少考生由于过度紧张而忽视了题意，所以本应该完成得非常好的题从手中错过。今年Dictation考试从one to seven应填single word;从eight to ten则要求use yourown words to finish the sentence.有的考生在做第8一10个填空时，由于没弄懂题意，只想着全部听写下来，结果感到速度太快，记不下来。听写部分意思虽然理解了，也没用自己的话表达，白白地丢掉了好几分。
二、抢用短文，预测听写内容
听写的短文一般在100-200字左右，共重复三遍。考生可利用听指令前的空隙，略看一下短文，做到有的放矢。去年6月份大学英语四级考试中的听写文章：考生扫一眼便会知道是一关于policeman和他们的job的事，这样就不会措手不及，心慌意乱，影响正常水*的发挥了。
一、对话式听力类型
第一种类型中每组对话一般是在一男女之间进行的一问一答， 问题一般由先讲话的人提出，题目均以问题形式出现，其中多数的特殊疑问句。这些问题涉及的内容大致归纳如下：
(1)：问“是什么、要什么、讨论什么、什么种类”
(2)：问“做什么”
(3)：问“什么含义”
(4)：问“从对话中能获得什么信息或结论”
(5)：问“对某人某事有什么看法”
(6)：问“讲话的两人是什么关系”
第二种类型中有两个较长的对话，每个对话后设有2―4个问题，提出的问题主要问“对话可能是在? ?场所发生的” 等。如：W here does this conversation?这部分听力相对比较简单，考生从所给出的选项就可以推测出很多题在问什么，知道在对话中重点应该听什么， 什么是关键词， 从而选出正确的选项。
二、短文式听力提问方式最常见的4种类型答题技巧
1. 中心思想题：
这类问题主要是测试文章的主要思想。提问方式一般为：W hat is the passage mainly about?W hat can w e learn from this passage? What is the main：idea of the passage?等等。集中精力听好短文开头， 因为四级听力短文一般会开门见山，把中心思想置于文章的开头。
2. 事实细节题
考察细节包括具体时间、地点、主要人物、事件、各类数字等， 问题一般为：wh―questiuon形式。这种题型要求考生听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感，及时做好笔记;文中一旦出现以因果连词(如：because，so，due to等)和转折连词(如but，however，though等)引导的句子，也要格外留心，这些地方往往就是考点。
3. 对错判断题
攻口：Which of the following is true/not tree，according to the passage? Which of the fo
llowing is not mentioned?等等。这种题型一定要听清提问， 对于有没有not一词要弄清楚，一般情况下，not一词会重读。
4. 推理推测题
这类题型需对文中信息进行分析推断，才能作出正确的选择。提问方式有：What can we infer from the passage? What does the speaker most concerned about? W hat does the speaker think about the problem?等等。
三、听写填空式听力的应试技巧
1. 理解好题意，做到心中有数
在听写考试中，我们发现不少考生由于过度紧张而忽视了题意，导致本应该得到的分从手中错过。今年Dictation考试中 从one to seven应填single word;从eight to ten则要求use your words to finish the sentence，有的考生在做第8～1 0个填空时，由于没弄懂题意， 只想着全部听写下来，结果感到速度太快，记不下来，听写部分意思虽然理解了，也没用自己的话来表达， 白白地丢掉了好几分。
2. 抢看短文，预测听写内容
听写的短文一般在100 200词左右，共重复三遍，考生可利用听正文前的空隙，略看一下短文，做到“有的放矢”。去年6月份大学英语四级考试中的听写文章， 考生只要扫一眼便会知道是一关于学生压力与父母关系的问题，这样就不会措手不及，心慌意乱，影响正常水*的发挥了。
3. 使用速记方法，从文中找出答案
学生们在听写时，往往记下了听写的第一个词，而后面的则匆匆而过，来不及填写，针对
这一问题，我认为考试中应采用速记方法，迅速记下每个听到的单词，听到的内容，不让每个单词漏网。此外，学生还出现另一种现象，就是听懂了词意，不会写单词。这种情况。考生可从上下文找找，看是否有帮助指示的地方。
当选项中出现有意思明显相反的两项时，那么正确答案必在此二项中出现。如果出现双重异项，那么即可判断出正确答案，异项保留原则在六级考试听力短对话中应用广泛。
女士保留原则
西方人的思维方式，当对话中出现女士的建议和要求时，一定要注意，这时女士说出来的话很可能就是正确选项的异意。因为女士经常以女神的形象出面，她们代表的是美好、正面、阳光的信息。
概括、抽象保留原则
当选项中出现比较概括、抽象的句子时，这时我们就要把表述事实的、具体的句子划掉，而去选择表概、抽象、比较性的句子。此原则可衍生出一个包含取大的原则，在作题时应用也是十分的广泛，一般当两个选项的意思接*时，表述比较全面的'一般为正确选项。
态度和虚拟保留原则
这两种方法一般无单独命题的规律性，只是作为上述四种宏观方法的辅助方法出现，当只剩下两个选项时，通常正态度的选项容易是正确答案，表虚拟的选项更容易是正确答案。
听力理解部分测试学生获取口头信息的能力。录音材料用标准的英式或美式英语朗读，语速四级约每分钟130词，六级约每分钟150词。听力部分分值比例为35%，其中对话占15%，短文占20%。考试时间30分钟。
对话部分包括短对话和长对话，采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。短对话有8段，每段提一个问题;长对话有2段，每段提3-4个问题;对话部分共15题。每段对话均朗读一遍，每个问题后留有13-15秒的答题时间。
短文部分包括短文理解及单词和词组听写。短文理解有3篇，采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。四级每篇长度为220-250词，六级为 240-270词。每篇短文朗读一遍，提3-4个问题，每个问题后留有13-15秒的答题时间，共10题。单词及词组听写采用1篇短文，四级的长度为 220-250词，六级为240-270词。要求考生在听懂短文的基础上用所听到的原文填写空缺的单词或词组，共10题。短文播放三遍。

听力概述
听力材料的选材原则一般基于以下三点：
一、对话部分为校园生活中的一般对话，句子结构和内容不太复杂。
二、短文部分的材料是题材熟、情节不太复杂的故事、讲话或叙述等。
三、所用词汇一般不超过教学大纲词汇表规定的范围。
一.短对话部分：
该部分一般是日常生活中的对话，即衣、食、住、行、工作、学*、生活等话题，场景可分为校园、公共场所、家庭、办公室等方面。每题1分。
问对话发生的地点和场所
提问人物关系或身份
计算类
人物的计划或打算
人物的感觉状态
交通或交通工具
请求或建议
释义、替换或上下文
人物的态度观点或考生从对话中获得的信息或结论
短对话题型：
1 . 弦外之音—“言外之意”题型
2 . 妙语连珠—观点态度题型
3 . 虚虚实实—虚拟语气题型
4 . 咬文嚼字—理解归纳题型
5 . 多姿多彩—生活场景题型
6 . 怪声怪气—语气态度题型
1.弦外之音—“言外之意”题型
这类题型难度较高，对话中的回答人并不从正面回答问题，似乎答非所问。这就需要我们运用解题的逻辑思维与推理过程，也就是通常所说的“顺藤摸瓜”方法来答题。此类题型中，一些句子的真实含义不是直截了当地摆在我们面前，而是我们根据对话中揭示的内容去寻找与其相关的其他事物以及它们之间的联系。可分为两类：陈述回答型和疑问回答型。
1)陈述回答型
例：M: I need to find a dentist; you said you know Dr. Smith well, do you recommend her?
W: Well, I had to see her a few times, but what impressed me most was the magazines in her waiting room.
Q: What does the woman im***?
A) Dr. Smith’s waiting room isn’t tidy.
B) Dr. Smith enjoys reading magazines.
C) Dr. Smith has left a good impression on her.
D) Dr. Smith may not be a good choice.
言外之意：女的丝毫不提史密斯的医术如何，只说了一些无关紧 要的'琐事，无非是暗示她的医术很烂，故不愿意向男的推荐。
2)疑问回答型
请掌握以下几种表达建议和表示反对的语句
表示建议：Why not...?
Why don’t you...?
Wouldn’t...?How about...?
表示反对：
Should...he/she/we/they...be doing...?
表示责怪的意思：Shouldn’t...?
例：W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.
M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.
Q: What does the man im***?
A) The Edwards are quite well-off.
B) The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.
C) It’ll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.
D) It’s too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.
言外之意：用问句这个结构表示说话人的反对情绪。
2.妙语连珠—观点态度题型
A) He doesn’t want Jenny to get into trouble.
B) He doesn’t agree with the woman’s remark.
C) He thinks Jenny’s workload too heavy at college.
D) He believes most college students are running wild.
分析：从男性说话中的actually一词可以听出他并不同意女性刚刚说的内容，他有自己的想法，类似的词语还有in fact，这也提醒我们，抓住短对话中的小词去揣摩说话人的态度也是非常关键的。
3.虚虚实实—虚拟语气题型
这属于一种隐性考法，用虚拟语气表达一种抱怨、后悔等情绪，主要体现虚拟语气的关键词有：if, if only, I only wish..., couldn’t have done something...without...等。
例：M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job.
W: Yes, certainly, but if only you had sent in your application letter a week earlier.
Q: What does the woman im***?
A) The man is not suitable for the position.
B) The job has been given to someone else.
C) She had received only one application letter.
D) The application arrived a week earlier than expected.
4.咬文嚼字—理解归纳题型
这类题型难度颇高，关键在于后者说话当中的生词及细节较多，考生很难在短时间内完全把握对话的实质内容，能否答对就要看自己*时的积累。
例：M: Excuse me, Madam? Is the air-conditioning on? This room is getting as hot as a furnace.
W: Sorry, sir, a new epidemic (流行病) called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventative measure (预防措施), we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not to use air-conditioners.
Q: What does the woman mean?
A) The temperature is not as high as the man claims.
B) The room will get cool if the man opens the windows.
C) She is following instructions not to use the air-conditioning.
D) She is afraid the new epidemic SARS will soon spread all over town.
5.多姿多彩—生活场景题型
总体而言,常见的短对话场景大致可分为如下三种：
1 . 学生学*生活场景
2 . 健康生活场景
3 . 交通活动场景
学生学*生活场景 考查内容
1. 对话题技巧
预读所有对话题选项。在听录音前，我们必须先浏览一下题目的四个选项，这是做好对话题的前提。童鞋们可以通过分析四个选项结合自己的猜想，就可以对对话所涉及的话题有个大体的了解并带着问题去听力，这样就能把注意力集中在对话中的关键信息点，从而减轻对听力的负担。
把握关键词和关键句。在听力的过程中，我们应该把握一些关键词和关键句。首先要注意听表示转折关系的词汇，比如but、however、unfortunately、unexpectedly、to tell the truth等。其次要注意关键句，在对话题中，往往会有一些表示建议或劝告的语句，比如“Why…?”“Why not…?”“Why don’t you/we…?”“It would be better to do...”“Wouldn’t it be better to do…?” 等等这类关键词和关键句之后往往都是考点所在，所以我们要加以重视哦。
判断相关场景。四级听力常考的场景有：学*、工作、天气、医院、租房、娱乐、餐馆、选课场景等。通过对话判断出相关的场景有利于考生在解题时提高解题正确率。在这里笔者也提醒童鞋们，由于英语是一种 模式化的语言，在固定的场景中，其词汇和表达也相对比较固定，所以我们应在*时多积累一些场景中的高频词汇和*惯表达，这样能更好的提高听力理解能力。
2. 短文理解
①重两头轻中间。往往一篇文章的开头就是全文的主题思想句，即便不是主题句也包含了很多重要的考点信息，理解这些信息有利于我们把握整篇文章的思路和去向。而结尾部分通常又是整篇文章的`总结句，概括和归纳了全文的中心。所以我们在听短文理解这部分的录音时，一定要抓住文章的开头和结尾哦。
② 注意标志性细节。听力中出现的时间、数字、地点等信息以及表示原因和转折关系的词汇和句子经常是标志性的出题点所在。我们在听的时候要特别留意这些细节并且做好笔记哦。
3. 复合式听写
听写前迅速浏览全文。在这部分的听力录音播放前，我们应快速浏览一下全文，掌握文章的大概内容。在浏览全文时，要重点理解文章的首尾几句话。如果时间充裕，我们还可以快速观察一下空格前后的一些语法信息，从中判断空格处应填单词的词性、单复数、时态以及语态等信息。
以听为主、以记为辅。童鞋们在记录信息时要有所侧重和取舍，应重点记那些支撑句子结构的主要成分，即主语、谓语和宾语，而一些虚词（冠词、助动词等）则可省略不记。
