　　本次考试听力部分就起内容难度而言较之前几次考试略有上升，但究其本质与之前的考点保持平行，主要体现在其短对话和听写难度有所降低，而长对话长度却提出了空前的挑战，PASSAGE文章本身难度也较过去几年略有提升。本次考试短对话的重心在于考察男生女生关系特点；而PASSAGE的考点则着重集中于首、末句的考察；长对话主要考试特征第一篇偏向短对话而第二篇则偏向PASSAGE；听写部分句子长度基本都控制得较好，在15~20词之间，且单词难度都偏低。由此可见，考官还是试图结合大量考察考点，平均安排难度系数，来照顾到考试本身对考生考察的效果。

　　女性地位高于男性的特征可以说在这里考试中考得酣畅淋漓，可以说几乎是三句话不离本行。

　　12.

　　W: I won the first prize in the National Writing Contest and I got this camera as an award.

　　M: It’s a good camera! You can take it when you travel. I had no idea you were a marvelous writer.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　有那么多句子供考官考察，偏偏考官都没看上眼，就把答案锁定在了D) The man admires the woman’s talent in writing.上，这绝非是没有道理的。

　　13.

　　M: I wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list!

　　W: I thought you might regret it. That’s why I picked it up from the waste paper basket and left it on the desk.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　女人在本句中又MS有了先知先觉，居然还能将男人误以为是垃圾扔掉的“废纸”捡回、保存，在男人后悔莫及之时还能完璧归赵实在有点让人怀疑四、六级考题中男人的愚昧和女人的睿智。果然，考官的答案依然以这一思路为背景选择了B) The woman saved the man some trouble.

　　16.

　　M: Jane missed the class again, didn’t she? I wonder why?

　　W: Well, I knew she had been absent all week. So I called her this morning to see if she was sick. It turned out that her husband was badly injured in a car accident.

　　Q: What does the woman say about Jane?

　　难得出现个翘课的女人，结果还是因为家中的丈夫受伤在家(果然男人总是很衰)，所以全心照顾，因此才落了课程。而答案孕育而生于此，故选择了D) She has been away from school to attend to her husband.

　　本次考试另一大特征就是选项混淆性颇高，具有相当的迷惑性。

　　11.

　　W: Did you watch the 7 o’clock program on channel 2 yesterday evening? I was about to watch it when someone came to see me.

　　M: Yeah! It reported some major breakthrough in cancer research. People over 40 would find the program worth watching.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the TV program?

　　乍看之下，也有同学会选择“本片专为癌症病人播放”这一答案，而对话中其实只谈及是癌症研究方面的纪录片，除了病人也许也同样适合预防使用，因此混淆选项过分推理，导致错误。而只有答案C) It might appeal more to viewers over 40.适合本句原意，顾选。
