英语四级听力长对话听前预测技巧(9)

　　九、明显不符常理的选项往往不是答案

　　有的选项明显不符合该对话情景下的常识或常理，那么该选项往往也不是答案。

　　【例10】

　　【预览选项】

　　[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.

　　[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.

　　[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.

　　[D] Cooperation between pilots and air controllers is essential.

　　【听前预测】

　　由选项中的should可推知，本题应该是考查观点或建议。选项内容表明问题应该与确保安全飞行的因素有关。[B]是说飞行员应该会说几门外语，这不大合乎常理，因为飞国内行线的飞行员并不一定要会好几门外语，故[B]为答案的可能性较小。

　　【听音验证】

　　M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.

　　W: Wow, thats a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.【答案解析】

　　25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?

　　【解析】选[A]。对话的最后女士总结了这次事故的教训：how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other，答案是对此的同义转述。utmost意为极大的。
