Conversation One篇幅较长,这给考生在短时间内从大量信息中寻找答案制造了困难。不过,如果考生再回过头仔细去看看对话中加底纹的部分,就可以发现这些部分就是4道题目的答案出处,而且每次答案的出现几乎都伴随着一个问题。这首先就说明了一点,几乎每每遇到问答的形式都是考官青睐的考点,而且考试的重点往往落在答语上。这一点和短对话中体现的原则不谋而合,而且短对话中的建议请求原则也和此处的情况极相似。另外,还有一个特点考生观察后不难发现,并不是每一组问答都被作为考点,而作为考试重点的几组问题之间关联性是不大的。换句话来说,一个问题考查了对话的主题,从第二个问题开始分别考查了new business strategy所呈现的3方面问题。其中每一个方面选择了一个最重要的问题来考查,这一点又和以往的短文理解考查方法很相似,特别是人物生平发展或者故事类的题目很相似,每一方面的内容只考查一道题目,而且出题的顺序和对话或短文的顺序基本上是一致的。
