將各題所考查的主題內(nèi)容結(jié)合在一起，往往可得出整篇對(duì)話的主題。如果某一題目是考查對(duì)話主題，其中的一個(gè)選項(xiàng)明顯能夠概括其他各題選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容，那么該選項(xiàng)很可能為答案。

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

　　預(yù)覽三道題各選項(xiàng)，由19題中的 interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager,apply for a job 等詞語(yǔ)可以推測(cè)對(duì)話與刊登招聘廣告或應(yīng)聘工作有關(guān)。而20題中 hardworking,ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea 等詞語(yǔ)則表明對(duì)話中還涉及到對(duì)所招聘人員的要求。

　　二、選項(xiàng)均以動(dòng)詞的某種形式開頭

　　含有這類選項(xiàng)的問(wèn)題為考查“行為活動(dòng)”類型。根據(jù)動(dòng)詞的不同形式，問(wèn)題考查的重點(diǎn)也可能不同。

　　選項(xiàng)均以動(dòng)詞原形開頭，問(wèn)題大多是關(guān)于建議某人做某事，有時(shí)也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。

　　選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)名詞，問(wèn)題大多是關(guān)于正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或者計(jì)劃打算。

　　選項(xiàng)為不定式，問(wèn)題很可能是關(guān)于做某事的目的，或是計(jì)劃、承諾或要求做某事。

　　【例2】(新06-12- -20)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　[A] File a lawsuit against the man.

　　[B] Ask the man for compensation.

　　[C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.

　　[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.

　　【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

　　選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)詞原形，故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的行為活動(dòng)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均是針對(duì)男士的行為，故本題很可能是關(guān)于某人與男士發(fā)生爭(zhēng)吵或沖突時(shí)所采取的應(yīng)對(duì)措施。

　　【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

　　W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.

　　M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have topick up my son.

　　[A]To interview a few job applicants.

　　[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.

　　[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.

　　[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.

　　【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

　　選項(xiàng)均為不定式短語(yǔ)，故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人將要采取的行動(dòng)。[ A ]、[ C ]是關(guān)于招聘工作(interview,advertise)，[ B ]、[ D]則是關(guān)于申請(qǐng)工作(fill, apply for)，故聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)留意該行為是關(guān)于招聘還是應(yīng)聘。

　　【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

　　M: Morning, Brenda.

　　W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.

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

　　W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.

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

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

　　三、選項(xiàng)中含有表示意愿或建議的詞

　　如果選項(xiàng)中含有should, had better, would like等一類的詞語(yǔ)，問(wèn)題很可能是考查“觀點(diǎn)或建議”。

　　【例4】(新06-12-25)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.

　　[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.

　　[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.

　　25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?

　　四、選項(xiàng)中含有表示評(píng)論或感受的動(dòng)詞

　　如果選項(xiàng)中含有think, like, dislike, enjoy, agree, disagree, mind等一類的詞語(yǔ)，聽(tīng)力材料或問(wèn)題很可能是關(guān)于對(duì)某人或某事物的評(píng)價(jià)或感受。

　　四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中如均含有表示評(píng)論或感受的詞，則表示問(wèn)題是關(guān)于對(duì)人或事物的評(píng)價(jià)或感受;如其中只有個(gè)別選項(xiàng)含有表示評(píng)論或感受的詞，則表示聽(tīng)力材料中很可能涉及到對(duì)人或事物的評(píng)價(jià)或感受，問(wèn)題內(nèi)容則不一定會(huì)涉及。
