闻言察意

　　请看例句：

　　例1 You will hear:

　　M：Next， shouldnt we get a telephone installed in the hall?

　　W：Fixing the shower pipe is far more important.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　You will read:

　　A. They have different opinions as to what to do next.

　　B. They have to pay for the house by installments.

　　C. They will fix a telephone in the bathroom.

　　D. The mans attitude is more sensible than the womans.

　　本对话中女士没有直接反对安装电话，而是提出安装淋浴喷头更重要。因此，从女士提到的另一事物淋浴喷头可以推测出她反对安装电话：二人意见不一致，所以选A。

　　例2 You will hear:

　　M：Ive noticed that you get letters from Canada from time to time. Would you mind saving the stamps for me? My sister collects them.

　　W：My roommate already asked for them.

　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　You will read：

　　A. She will save the stamps for the mans sister.

　　B. She will no longer get stamps from Canada.

　　C. She cant give the stamps to the mans sister.

　　D. She has given the stamps to the mans roommates.

　　女士说My roommate already asked for them.，这里的them当然是指stamps。从其提到的另一人物roommate则可以断定该女士的言外之意就是她不可能再对别人做出许诺了，即她不能把邮票给the mans sister。因此选C。
