英语四六级：听力考试长对话解题步骤

　　长对话题中，考生在考场上可以直接接触到的同样也只是每道题的四个选项，谈话内容与问题均在录音中出现，因此考生拿到考卷后应该从分析选项入手，遵循以下四个步骤答题：

　　第1步：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。

　　在没有听原文之前我们只能通过几个题的选项来“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，可以推测出短文的大致主题，从而更容易、更准确地理解短文内容，并且可以有助于主旨题的解答。

　　第2步：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。通过这些选项特点及选项内容，我们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。

　　第3步：集中精力听对话，抓取关键点必要时做适当笔记。

　　听音时应重点留意开头、结尾以及与选项相关的信息，并针对选项要点适当笔记。

　　第4步 ：根据提问内容，结合所做笔记，迅速得出答案。

　　【例1】(710分样卷-Conversation One)

　　19题

　　[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.

　　20题

　　[D]A young man with his own idea of what is important.

　　21题

　　【解题步骤】

　　第一步：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。

　　预览三道题各选项，由19题可以推测对话与公司刊登招聘广告或应聘工作有关，而20题则表明对话中还涉及到对所招聘人员的要求。

　　第二步：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。

　　19题选项均为不定式短语，故问题很可能与某种行为有关。[ A ]、[ C ]是关于招聘工作(interview, advertise)，[ B ]、[ D]则是关于申请工作(fill, apply for)，故听音时应首先搞清对话是关于招聘还是应聘，然后注意抓取选项中出现的关键词。

　　20题选项均为具有不同特点的人才，故可推知本题考查的是对于招聘人员的要求。因此，听音时应重点关注对人才要求的描述，并留意选项中的关键词语：hard working ,ambitious, good at managing his time , working experience等。

　　21题选项均是对某事物的评价，而根据specified(具体)和be met(得到满足)以及对对话主题的猜测，可推测本题很可能是考查对招聘要求的评价或看法。故听音时应注意那些带评论性质的词语或句子。

　　第三步：集中精力听对话，抓取关键点必要时做适当笔记。

　　抓取关键点：

　　M: Morning, Brenda.

　　W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.

　　M: Er, did you, [19①]did you put that ad in yesterday?

　　W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.

　　M: [19②]The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.

　　W: Yes, it went into the Standard and the Evening News.

　　M: That’s good. Erm, well ...

　　W: What kind of person have you got in mind for this job? M: Oh, well, [20①]somebody fairly young, you know, twenty something, like 21, or 25. [20②]A man, I think.

　　W: A man?

　　M: We really need a man for the position. Yes, I mean, its really too demanding. The sort of situations they get into are much too difficult for a young woman to deal with, erm ...

　　W: Erm, what sort of a young man have you got in mind?

　　M: Oh, you know, a good education, polite, responsible, and easy to get along with. What I don’t want is one of those young men just out of university, with exaggerated ideas of his own importance.

　　W: Yes, erm, what sort of education are you actually looking for?

　　M: Well, you know, a

　　a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.

　　W: Yes, I think [21①] you’re asking quite a lot. I mean you’re not really prepared to pay all ...

　　M: No, I’m not prepared to give him a big salary to start with. Nevertheless, I want [20③]someone with plenty of ambition, plenty of drive. You know, not looking at the clock all the time.

　　W: Well sir, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have some very successful interviews.

　　M: Well, yes?

　　W: Because personally I think[21②] you’re asking an awful lot.

　　第四步 ：根据提问内容，结合所做笔记，迅速得出答案。

　　19. What did Mr. Browning ask Brenda to do?

　　根据原文中did you put that ad in yesterday? 和The ad for a junior sales manager可知Mr. Browning是要求Brenda在报纸上刊登一则招聘广告。本题只需抓住ad一词(advertisement的缩写)即可确定答案为[C]。

　　20. What kind of person will meet the job requirements?

　　根据原文中fairly young, plenty of ambition, plenty of drive等关键词可知，招聘者想要寻找的是一个工作努力、有抱负的年轻小伙子，故答案为[A]。

　　21. What does Brenda think of the qualifications Mr. Browning insists on?

　　根据原文中女士话中you’re asking quite a lot 以及you’re asking an awful lot可推知她认为Mr. Browning的要求太多太高，不大可能会得到满足，故答案为[B]。
