答题技巧
（1）熟悉旅游出行场景的词汇。对于旅游场景相关词汇的熟练把握是此部分取胜的关键。
（2）快速浏览各题选项，注意相同或相关词语的重复出现，推测对话主题。在没有听对话之前考生只能通过几个题目的选项来“串”对话，猜测对话内容。根据各题选项中出现的相同或相关词语，可以推测出对话的大致主题，从而更容易、更准确地理解对话内容，并且有助于主旨题的解答。
（3）按照题目顺序，推测问题类型及内容，确定听音时需要关注的主要信息点。很多选项都有比较明显的特点，或者使用某种专门的表达形式，如均为动词原形或均为人物角色等；或者含有一些标志性的词语，如均含有描述某人性格或某事特点的词语。通过这些选项特及选项内容，考生便可以推测问题可能考查的核心内容，从而在听音时更有针对性。注意在推测问题时，应与主题联系起来，因为每一道问题都不会偏离主题；反过来结合几道题的考查核心，可以进一步确认主题内容。
（4）集中精力听对话，抓取关键点，必要时做笔记。听音时考生应重点留意开头、结尾以及与选项相关的信息，并针对选项要点适当做笔记。根据提问内容，结合所做笔记，迅速得出答案。

W:Welcome to visit our city，Mr.Lewis—but，of course，you have been here before，haven’t you？
M:Yes，I have，what a good memory I have！I was here for the Arts Festival last year.
W:And what will you be doing on this visit
M:Oh，I came here primarily for a holiday and to see some friends.But l will also be giving some private cello lessons as well.
W:I believe that your cello is rather special.Is that true？
M:Oh，yes.It was made for my uncle by a very expert German cello maker called Schuster.When I began cello lessons at the age of 8，he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello，he would give it to me.
W:So when a child begins to play the cello，he or she starts on a smaller instrument
M:Of course，or he would be very uncomfortable.Many children begin with a half-sized cello，but as I was big for my age，I began with a two-thirds-sized cello.
W:Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you？
M:Yes，very definitely.
W：But，isn’t it difficult taking a cello around with you
M:Not really.I just reserve two seats when I’m traveling anywhere，one for me and one for my cello.It’s such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.

W:Why the Stray？
M:It’s called that because in the old days，people let their cattle stray on the area，which was common land.
W:Oh，I see.
M:Then，we’ve changes in farming and in land ownership.The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate.
W:And is it protecte？
M:Oh，yes，indeed.As a special law，no one can build anything on the stray.It’s protected forever.
W:So it will always be park land？
M:That’s right.As you can see，some of the Stray is used for sports fields.
W:I believe it looks lovely in the spring.
M:Yes，it does.There’re spring flowers on the old trees，and people visit the town just to see the flowers.
