考试结构：Section A：10 short conversations 复习的重点
Section B：最可能考三个段子。其次，有可能考复合式听写或听写填空。
提高听力的步骤：
第一步，听懂考题;
第二步，总结考题规律;
第三步，了解考试本身，做类型题。
短对话题型分类：
Section A考题为六种题型。无论每个考题的具体内容是什么，考题的题型总在重复。我们要培养解类型题的能力。比如在态度方向题中，每个考题的内容肯定不同。但题型高度一致，解题的方向也必然相同。
如：Would you go to dance with me tonight?第二人的回答只有两种Yes或No。我们要听的是第二个人的态度方向。这个题问去跳舞吗?而另外的一个完全不同的考题可能会问去看电影吗?去音乐会吗?去野餐吗?去看比赛吗?这些不同的考题在我们的耳朵里就应该是同一类考题。我们要听的是：他在问去还是不去?第二人要回答Yes还是No。而解题点即正确选项一定就在第二人的回答的开头。

第一类，有关学习的考题基于学生身份去猜题。关于考试：考试难，时间紧，能否延期。作业难做。论文没做完。选课多。对老师评价：讲课boring，老师strict，作业多。She is one in a million. 当老师要退休的时候对老师的评价才会高。
第二类，生活。学生穷poor，要省钱。时时带着学生证。购物时一定要bargin。杂志不订应该去图书馆读，如：A: Maybe I oughtta subscribe to the magazine. B: Why dont you save the money and read it in the library?。在家看比赛没钱买票。
第三类，学生忙，当话题中既包含学习又包含娱乐时体现学生忙，一定选择学习方面。
