做题方式：视听反向原则、同义替换原则，第二句话易为考点。 例题：2009年12月四级考试第9题
A) She must have paid a lot for the gym. B) She is known to have a terrific figure.
C) Her gym exercise has yielded good results. D) Her effort to keep fit is really praiseworthy.
Woman: I’ve been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape.
Man: You look terrific! It seems that your effort has paid off.
Question: What does the man imply about the woman? 解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为C(她的健身房联系获得了好的结果)。yielded good results和原文中的your effort has paid off产生了替换作用。其中，类似gym和terrific、efforts等这样明显的词汇是特别需要慎选的，因为这些词汇都在原文中被明显播读过。另外本题目中还包括很多有用的说法：例如terrific figure (魔鬼身材)paid off(发生效果)，以及重复考过的out of shape (身材走样) 等等。 例题：
请关注2009年6月几道小对话题目的原文形式和设问方式：
W: There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party. How come she's got so many friends?
M: It's really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a child.
Q: What does the man imply about Kate?
M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night。
W: You'll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest a more recent model。
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled。
M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the word load has doubled。
Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
以上三道小对话，都把问题的设计方向安排在第二句的位置上。所以，考生在解题时需要将自己的听力重点放在第二句上。作者: 超越 时间: 2011-2-19 20:11
