Section A的主要考点及应试技巧
听力测试这一部分的考点大致有以下几个方面：细节题、特殊句式、固定词组、常用习语和推断题。下面就这些考点和应试技巧一一阐述。
1.细节题
细节题就是根据男女双方的对话细节提出问题，如时间、地点、事实等。细节题往往在选项上有特点，解题可以根据选项预先做出判断，如果选项都是表示时间或者数字的选项，就可以根据选项的指引，重点关注与数字或时间有关的信息，必要时要做简单的笔记。这种类型的考题的重点较为单一，就是听力材料中的细节，解题切入点就是选项。

W：Eh
Wednesday is not good for me.How about Thursday？
Question：What is the original day for the meeting？
【解析】看到选项我们可以判断此题考点为时间，是细节题。题目的中文意思是“会议原定时间是在哪天？”original是形容词，意思为“原先的，最初的”。对话中男士问：“能否将会议改到周三，周二我不行，一天都在急诊室。”女士回答说：“周三不行，周四如何？”此题就是要关注和时间相关的事件。

【解析】题目问这位女士要做什么。录音对话中，男士提到他听说有个医药有限公司要在下周举办一场校园招聘会。Pharmaceutics的含义为“制药学”。女士说到她要与这家公司谈谈她的CV。CV是这道题的关键信号词（Cue Word），全称为curriculum vitae=resume，意思为“简历”。因而这位女士的意思是打算去应聘。
