常见的地点场景提问方式:
① Where does this conversation must probably/likely take place?
② Where are the man and woman at the moment?
③ Where are the two speakers?
④ Where did it happen?
⑤ Where is the man probably going to work?
【例1】 2001.1
M: Can you tell me the title of this oil painting?
W: Sorry, I dont know for sure. But I guess its an early 18th century work. Let me look it up in the catalog.
Q: Where does their conversation most probably take place?
A) At a bookstore B) In a workshop
C) At an art gallery D) In a department store
【解析】 提前积累地点(bookstore、workshop、art gallery、department store)相关信息词汇。原文中出现的oil painting,18th century work与C选项中的art gallery(美术馆)词汇同现。所以选答案C。
【例2】 2002.1
W: You seem very confident about the job interview, dont you?
M: Yes, I feel ready for it. I bought a good suit in a clothing store. I had my hair cut. I have studied almost everything about finance and economics.
Q: Where is the man probably going to work?
A) In a bank B) In a school
C) In a clothing store D) In a barbershop
【解析】 播音前积累地点(bank、school、clothing store、barbershop)相关信息词汇。这题陷阱极多,我们来一一分解:had studied是过去完成时,仅表示面试前的知识准备,而非在学校工作;bought a good suit和had my hair cut也是面试前的过去动作,而不是将要去的地方;finance and economics是银行中的信息词,也是M学习的科目,故选A。
