听力短对话：“场景”的制胜

　　总体上，本次四级考试的短对话语句并不长，所牵涉到的词汇多属于历年真题中反复考到过的重要场景词，所以总体难度上与往届考试基本持平。一言以蔽之，短对话的制胜之道在于场景。尤其是文都课堂上我们反复提到的常考场景。下面举几个这次四级真题的例子。

　　一、车站场景

　　11. W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I cant figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?

　　M: Why dont you just go to the ticket window and ask?

　　Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

　　点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如bus schedule，ticket window，这些在文都听力课堂上都反复提到。

　　二、赶车/飞机场景

　　13. W: Airport, please. Im running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if its not the most direct.

　　M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.

　　Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

　　点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如Airport，take the fastest way并不陌生。

　　三、就餐场景

　　14. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.

　　M: Thank you, but I dont eat shellfish. Im allergic to it.

　　点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如position in the company，the position of sales manager，vacant在文都课堂上都提到过。

　　五、天气场景

　　18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesnt it?

　　M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time.

　　Q：What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?

　　点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如the weather was cooperative，picnic。

　　一言以蔽之，对场景的掌握程度，决定着短对话的分数。
