一、各题主题揭示对话主题
将各题所考查的主题内容结合在一起,往往可得出整篇对话的主题。如果某一题目是考查对话主题,其中的一个选项明显能够概括其他各题选项的内容,那么该选项很可能为答案。

【听前预测】
预览三道题各选项,由19题中的 interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager, apply for a job 等词语可以推测对话与刊登招聘广告或应聘工作有关。而20题中 hardworking, ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea 等词语则表明对话中还涉及到对所招聘人员的要求。
二、选项均以动词的某种形式开头
含有这类选项的问题为考查“行为活动”类型。根据动词的不同形式,问题考查的重点也可能不同。
选项均以动词原形开头,问题大多是关于建议某人做某事,有时也表示为了而某种目的而要做某事。
选项均为动名词,问题大多是关于正在进行的动作或者计划打算。
选项为不定式,问题很可能是关于做某事的目的,或是计划、承诺或要求做某事。

[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard。
【听前预测】

【听音验证】

【听音验证】

M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?
W: Yes, yesterday afternoon。
M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean。
…
19. What did Mr. Browning ask Brenda to do?
三、选项中含有表示意愿或建议的词
如果选项中含有should, had better, would like等一类的词语,问题很可能是考查“观点或建议”。

[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages。
[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather。

…
25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?
四、选项中含有表示评论或感受的动词
如果选项中含有think, like, dislike, enjoy, agree, disagree, mind等一类的词语,听力材料或问题很可能是关于对某人或某事物的评价或感受。
四个选项中如均含有表示评论或感受的词,则表示问题是关于对人或事物的评价或感受;如其中只有个别选项含有表示评论或感受的词,则表示听力材料中很可能涉及到对人或事物的评价或感受,问题内容则不一定会涉及。
