2011年12月四级听力短对话：“场景”制胜

2011年12月17日 听力短对话：“场景”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 can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?
　　M: Why don’t 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. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s 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 don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it.
　　Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?
　　点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如seafood，make a recommendation。
　　四、应聘招聘场景
　　15. W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?
　　M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.
　　Q: What do we learn about the man?
　　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, doesn’t 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
