短对话 从宏观上来看,可以发现的一大特点是问题都以推断型的方式来考察,对于综合推断类问题的解题方略,最重要的三项原则是 1)通过预先浏览选项推测对话主题 2)抓住对话主题进行判断 3)综合把握对话双方与主题相关的所有细节,以防选项的单一和片面 比如: 11. M: Oh, I’m so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library. W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won’t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK? Q: What do we learn from this conversation? 该题可用排除法得出答案。从对话中可知,男士忘了将女士的书带来,而女士的那本书是她从图书馆借来的。同时女士也明确表明周五晚上是最后期限,男士必须在此之前还她,因此答案是The man failed to keep his promise,因为男士没有信守承诺,将书带给女士。 12. W: Doctor, I haven’t been able to get enough sleep lately, and I’m too tired to concentrate in class. M: Well, you know, spending too much time indoors with all that artificial lighting can do that to you. Your body loses track of whether it’s day or night. Q: What does the man imply? 该题关键是弄懂医生说的那句话,因为女士一天到晚呆在室内接受人工光源的照射,于是身体无法自动调节时间,因此医生认为女士应该多出去走走,做一些户外活动。因此答案是The woman should spend more time outdoors. 同理,短对话中的13、14、17、18题均以推断型的提问方式来出题,以此考察考生对于对话情景的整体把握能力。 从微观上来看,今年的短对话部分侧重于转折、建议、关键提示词、语义解释等内容的考察,且有相加合并考察的趋势特点。例如: 14. W: I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me. M: Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority. Q: What does the man mean? 此题明显考察了转折考点,对男人回答中but部分针对提问。对话中女士赞扬男士发表的文章非常好,论点很有说服力。男士的回答是,就读者总体反映来看,他们两个人绝对是出于少数人的行列,也就是说只有少数人认为赞同男士在文章中的论点, 故选择Most readers do not share his viewpoints. 又如: 15. M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to her again? W: Well, if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her. Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? 此题是非常典型的三三原则相加,即以well为代表的关键提示词,if I were you虚拟语态特殊表达表建议及语义解释。由女士说的“if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her”,因此,女士希望男士先让Daisy冷静几天,等怒气消停了再说。cool off意为“冷静,平静下来,息怒”,故此题选择Leave Daisy alone for the time being. 再如: 17. M: Our basketball team is playing in the finals but I don’t have a ticket. I guess I’ll just watch it on TV. Do you want to come over? W: Actually I have a ticket. But I’m not feeling well. You can have it for what it cost me. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 此题又是非常典型的两两原则相加,即以actually为代表的关键提示词和but转折原则的相加。该对话中,男士没买到票,而女士则刚好有,她身体不舒服,故而想将自己的票以原价转让给男士,故选择The man can get the ticket at its original price。该文主要是由“You can have it for what it cost me”得出。
