广播剧：到底谁是凶手?
这个单元，共有+组听力测骚（Listening Compretension)，请先听每一段CD，再分别回答每一组题目。
听力测验分两部分：选择题和填空题。选择题的作法是，把一整段内文听完（可连续听几遍，当然更可以躺着听），再作答。填空题则是一边听内文，同时填写括号内遗漏掉的英语单词（有的不只一个词）。 解答附在每一组内文之后。
听力小秘诀：至少听十遍以上，再去看内文。不要在同一天内听太多逋，免得倒胃口。
一般英语教学带的速度比较缓慢，本书所附的广播剧则为英美人士说话的正常速度，兼具戏剧和音效的临场感，情节生活化。初次聆听，也许不太适应， 多听几遍，耳朵熟能生巧，渐渐就可以理解内容。
这出广播剧充满悬疑气氛，所使用的词汇词组和语法结构都非常简单，口语化。在短短二十七分钟内，以声音演出数场不同的情境，到尾声时才带出意想不到的结局。
听广播剧，你会发现，学英语是多么有趣的过程。你并不需要认识每一个单词，也不需要完全听懂所有的句子，就能约略听出大概，若遇到听不懂的地方，或特殊的人名、地名，不要去管它，继续听下去，多听几遍。然后，试着推论出“到底谁是凶手？”
待本单元的测验题目全部做完，自己试着在纸上作听写练习，听一段，写一段。听写是精读英语的最佳方式，不仅对英语听力有帮助，还可以练得一口滑溜的英语会话！
本单元适合中级程度以上者。
听力小秘诀：务必先听，再作答。

A porter serving drinks. Everything nice and normal, except that I had no idea how I got on the train nor why I was there. I tried to think of a reason for being there. But I...I couldn't. These ( 10. ) of forgetfulness have been coming on more often lately. I leaned back and closed my eyes. Listened to the ( 11. ) of the train. A melody began to set itself to the rhythm. I couldn't remember ever having heard such a song, but somehow I seemed to know the words.
"Down in the valley, valley so low. Late in the evening, hear that train blow, hear that train blow..."

"That's the way it is with songs. I've had the same thing happen to me.
"So, what train is this ?"
