　　备战2012.12英语四级40天攻克英语听力：职业身份题

　　M: How about the food I ordered? Ive been waiting for 20 minutes already.

　　W: Im very sorry, sir. I will be back with your order in a minute.

　　Q: Whats the womans job?

　　A) A shop assistant B) A telephone operator

　　C) A waitress D) A clerk

　　【解析】 在原文播放之前，应扩展联想到有关shop assistant、telephone operator、waitress、clerk四种职业的词汇如(food, order, number, shop, hotel等)，为选择正确答案作好充分准备。抓住原文中关键信息词order、wait，可推断出场景发生在餐厅，女士谈话的语气和用词sorry sir来分析其职业为服务员。选择C。

　　备战2012.12英语四级40天攻克英语听力：人物关系题

　　W: I often mistake Tim for Bob. Can you tell them apart?

　　M: No, they look so much alike that they even confused their mother sometimes when they were young.

　　Q: What is the probable relationship between Tim and Bob?

　　A) They are twins B) They are classmates

　　C) They are friends D) They are colleagues

　　【解析】 你的脑海中是否对twins、classmates、friends、colleagues积累了足够的信息词汇尤其重要(alike, homework, job等)。女士经常把Tim 和Bob认错，并问男士有什么区别(apart)，抓住男士回答的信息词look alike、their mother不难判断其关系是双胞胎。所以答案是A。

　　备战2012.12英语四级40天攻克英语听力：地点场景题

　　M: Oh, dear! Im starving, I cant walk any farther.

　　W: Lets go to the restaurant across the street and get something to eat.

　　Q: Where are the two people?

　　A) At home B) In a restaurant

　　C) In a car D) On the street

　　【解析】 注意选项中的有关home、restaurant、car、street关键词汇来判断正确答案。原文中的walk, across the street是本题的关键信息词，所以选择D。同样提到的starving、restaurant是他们将要去的地方(小陷阱咯!)，而不是现在的所在处。
