一、重讀常出：對話的核心內(nèi)容理應會得到說話人的強調(diào)，最為有效的強調(diào)方式莫過于重復，而且重復的詞語往往能夠揭示對話的主題。因此對那些對話雙方多次提到的詞語或內(nèi)容應進行重點記憶。
【例3】(四六級委員會樣卷-22題)
【選項】
[A]The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.
[B]The fall of Karnak"s capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.
[C]The epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.
[D]The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak.
【原文重現(xiàn)】
W: We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country of Karnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan ...
M: ..., rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18-month conflict here in this country.
M:..., rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in, ...
M: ... this war-torn country ..., but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
22.What is the news coverage mainly about?
【答案解析】
選[A]。主旨題。主旨題的答案往往在開頭或結尾，而本題的答案即出自開頭的第一句。選項中的latest(最新的)對應該句中的live up-to-date(最新直播)，armed rebellion(武裝叛亂)對應unrest(動亂)。另外，對話的主題往往會得到多次重復，因此根據(jù)后面多次出現(xiàn)的rebel forces, conflict, war等與"叛亂"相關的詞語，也可判斷本題答案為[A]。
二、同義復現(xiàn)必出：正確選項往往與原文相似，或是原文的同義表達，因此應注意提取選項中的關鍵點，在聽音時留意其是否與原文同意并加以記錄。
【例4】(四六級考試委員會樣題-25題)
【選項】
[A] Inadequate medical care.
[B] Continuing social unrest.
[C] Lack of food, water and shelter.
[D] Rapid spreading of the epidemic
【原文重現(xiàn)】
W: ... what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country.
25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?
【答案解析】選[C]。細節(jié)題。四個選項中只有[C]項內(nèi)容在對話中出現(xiàn)，其他三項均未涉及到，故只要抓住對話中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分內(nèi)容，即可判斷答案為[C]。starvation意為"饑餓"。
三、留意數(shù)字、人名、地名、時間、年代等相關信息 遇到數(shù)字、人名、地名、時間、年代時要對相關信息做簡要記錄，尤其是選項中出現(xiàn)類似的概念時，在聽音時更應重點留意。
【例5】(四六級考試委員會樣題-24題)
【選項】
[A] Late in the morning.
[B] Early in the afternoon.
[C] Sometime before dawn.
[D] Shortly after sunrise.
【原文重現(xiàn)】
M: ... Rebel forces are closing in, and it"s feared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?
【答案解析】選[C]。細節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文中...it"s feared that they will ...before daybreak.可知，當時報道的時間應該是在before daybreak(黎明破曉前)。dawn相當于daybreak。
