例题3:看一个四级的例子,02年12月第10题:
A) She is tired of driving in heavy traffic.
B) She doesn't mind it as the road conditions are good.
C) She is unhappy to have to drive such a long way every day.
D) She enjoys it because she's good at driving.
马上能判断出来,对话针对的对象是she,也是我们听题的重点,有了说话人信息,看看what是关于什么的呢?A:交通太堵,她不想开车;B:由于路况不错,她觉得无所谓(马上判断这个无所谓的对象应该是开车);C:她很不爽是因为每天开车走很长的一段路;D:她喜欢是因为她很擅长开车。在传播过程中,四个选项中,都在陈述一件事,就是她喜不喜欢开车这件事。A、B都与路况有关的,A、C在传达一种负情绪,而剩下两个选项是正情绪。这个时候,我们无法凭空猜一个答案,但是,却对这道题中涉及到的问题已然掌握得差不多了。这时再去听原文,正确率必然大大增加。
例题4:再看一个06年6月长对话的例子:
19. A) To make a business report to the woman.
B) To be interviewed for a job in the woman's company.
C) To resign from his position in the woman's company.
D) To exchange stock market information with the woman.
20. A) He is head of a small trading company.
B) He works in an international insurance company.
C) He leads s team of brokers in a big company.
D) He is a public relations officer in a small company.
21. A) The woman thinks Mr. Saunders is asking for more than they can offer.
B) Mr. Saunders will share one third of the woman's responsibilities.
C) Mr. Saunders believes that he deserves more paid vacations.
D) The woman seems to be satisfied with Mr. Saunders' past experience.
我们看这三个选项,由第21题,能够大致推断Mr. Saunders在应聘The woman的公司的职位。
这样,19题即可得出B这个正确选项,也就是有了传播的相应五元素,我们可以自由的思考,甚至在没有听原文的情况下就可以选择出正确的答案。
