长对话1
该对话围绕男士和女士挑选合适的酒店招待员展开,讨论三个应聘者Frank Brisenski,Barbara Jones和David Wallace的优劣势:Frank Brisenski有礼貌,声音好听,聪明,但是外表形象欠佳;Barbara Jones声音好听,穿着得体,但过于害羞,不擅于与人沟通;David Wallace聪明,外表形象佳,表现自如,有礼貌,声音动听。最后俩人决定录取David Wallace。
前两题考查事实细节,都能从原文直接找到答案,考生在听的时候要大概记下对话双方对于三个应聘者的评价,特别是转折处。虽然第三题需要考生推断,但是根据对话双方对David Wallace的评价就可以马上推出这是他们最终定的人选。
长对话2
从开头几句就可知是电话对话,男士打电话询问科学家Dennis Hutton的个人信息,女士在电话另一头作了简短介绍,中间涉及多处时间点,考生在听的时候要特别记下每个时间对应的事件,这样四个题目的答案就出来了。
本篇对话有一定难度,一是时间点较多,二是一些较难的单词和短语,如reference library参考书阅览室;Darlington达灵顿;inventer发明家;physicist物理学家;be admitted to进入;refrigeration冷冻;low temperature physics低温物理学;mathematics数学;subatomic particles亚原子粒子;patent取得的专利权。做题时不要纠结于一些听不懂的单词,可以在试卷各选项旁边标注上时间点,这样等听问题时就能快速锁定答案。
