本文已用“ // ”划成 5 段，分别对应 1 个话题的 5 个不同方面：设备、价格、人力资源、广告以及投资，其中第一段中还包括了对话主题。四题中第一题就是明显的对话整体把握题，考察对话主题，出现在文章第一段中问答处;第二题也在第一段中，考察了 5 个方面中的第一个方面，正因为是 first ，自然也最重要，因此也借用了段子题中典型论据的特点;第三题考察了第 3 段人力资源的问答处，主要考察了短对话中言外之意和建议句型的特点，该问题： What’s the picture? 表示“计划情况如何”的意思;第四题也是对第 4 段广告部分中建议句型的考察。
以《样卷》所给的两篇长对话为例：
Conversation One
W: Hello, Gary. How’re you?
M: Fine! And yourself?
W: Can’t complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?
M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?
W: Sure. I’ve been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should’ve been installed long ago. // ( 1 )
M: How much will that cost?
W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.
M: OK. We’ll have to discuss these costs with finance. // ( 2 )
W: We should also consider human resources. I’ve been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.
M: And what’s the picture?
W: We’ll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory. // ( 3 )
M: What about advertising?
W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.
M: TV? Isn’t that a bit too expensive for us? What’s wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?
W: Quite frankly, it’s just not enough anymore. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors. // ( 4 )
M: Will we be able to afford all this?
W: I’ll look into it , but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.
M: We’ll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.
W: All right. I’ll see to it. // ( 5 )
