5 答题技巧
解这类题目时,应当把注意力放在第二个人的谈话上,尤其是言外之意,因为不管是请求对方做些什么,对方的反应和态度都往往是解题的关键。另外,还要留意对话中的前提条件,因为提出的请求或对方的回答往往是要附加一定条件限制的,听清这些前提就能够缩小选择的范围,避免张冠李戴。
Example
You will hear:
Woman:Do you have the seminar schedule with you?I’d like to find out the topic for Friday.
Man:Igave it to my friend,but there should be copies available in the library.Ican pick one up for you.
Question:What does the man promise to do?
You will read:
A.To find out more about the topic for the seminar.
B.To make a copy of the schedule for his friend.
C.To get the seminar schedule for the woman.
D.To pick up the woman from the library.(https://www.daowen.com)
对于女士的请求,男士先说I gave it to my friend 表达了否定的含义,但随即说 but there should be copies…I can pick one up for you.表达了转折和承诺,由此可见,正确答案为C项。
另外,在表请求的会话中还常用虚拟语气来委婉表达拒绝。因此平时要对虚拟语气非常熟悉,答题时才能听得出来。请看下面的例子:
Example
You will hear:
Man:Iwonder if you’d like to go to a movie with me this afternoon.
Woman:If I had no classes this afternoon,I would certainly go with you.
Question:What does the woman mean?
You will read:
A.She hates classes. B.She doesn’t like movies.
C.She doesn’t like the man. D.She could not make it.
女士回答说:“如果我下午没课的话,我肯定会和你去的”,言外之意是我有课,所以去不了,因此正确答案应为D项。
