3.根据常识去判断
考生在听的过程中要用已有的知识去分析材料内容。有些句子或词语因为某种原因没有完全听懂,可根据已获得部分信息、一般常识来挑选可能性较大的选项。
1998年6月试题(Section B.passage Ⅱ)讲的是有关美国私立学校的情况,私立学校一般很少获得政府的财政支持而是向学生收取学费。当我们回答14题Why is it usually expensive to attend religious and private school时,四个选项中B最符合这种常理。
A)The number of students they take in is limited
B)They receive little or no support from public taxes
C)They are only open to children from rich families
D)They have to pay more taxes
