编辑点评：这篇文章很系统的介绍了CET中听力测试的重点题型，可读性很强！

　　(2)说话双方之间的关系
      该题型是上一题型的延伸,要求同学们能判断说话者双方的身份,问题经常是What's the relationship between the two speakers?
      ①W: How long will it take you to fix my watch?
      M: I'll call you when it's ready. But it shouldn't take longer than a week.
      Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
      A. Librarian and student.
      B. Operator and caller.
      C. Boss and secretary.
      D. Customer and repairman.
      既然女士让男的fix my watch,说明对方是repairman,而自己是customer。

　　②M: Sorry to trouble you. But is there any possibility of borrowing a blanket? I feel cold.
      W: I think we've got one. Could you wait until after take-off please?
      Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
      A. A guest and a receptionist.
      B. A passenger and an air hostess.
      C. A customer and a shop assistant.
      D. A guest and a waitress.
      take-off一词的使用说明女的是空姐,答案自然是B。
      可以看出,职业、身份以及说话双方关系的选择所依据的同样是信息词。当然,要判断双方的关系,还可以从说话的方式入手。如：
      ③M: Make thirty copies for me and twenty copies for Mr. Brown.
      W: Certainly sir. As soon as I make the final corrections on the original.
      Q: What's the relationship between the two speakers?
      A. Boss and secretary.
      B. Lawyer and client.
      C. Teacher and student.
      D. Nurse and patient.
      两人间说话的语气和方式表明是"老板与秘书"的关系。

      3）计算题
      计算题在四六级英语听力中属于比较难的题型,要求同学们不仅能分辨不同的时间、金钱等数量概念,还应能将听到的各个数量联系起来进行加减运算。如：
      ①M: Your son seems to have made much progress in playing the piano. Does he attend any piano classes?    
      W: Yes, he takes lessons twice a week, but from next week on, he will go to the class on Saturday evenings, too.
      Q: How often will the woman's son have piano lessons from next week on?
      A. Once a week.
      B. Twice a week.
      C. Three times a week.
      D. Four times a week.
      两次加一次自然是三次,答案是C。

　　②W: Professor Clark said that the mid-term exam would cover the first 15 lessons.
      M: Really? I thought it only included the first 12 lessons. Then I must spend the weekend going over the rest of the lessons.
      Q: How many lessons must the man review over the weekend? 
      A. Five lessons.
      B. Three lessons.
      C. Twelve lessons
      D. Fifteen lessons.
      这是最简单的计算题,只要同学们不将答案误认为是C或D,就不会出错。
     
      ③W: Here's a 10-dollar bill. Give me two tickets for tonight's show please.
      M: Sure. Two tickets and here is '1,40 change.
      Q: How much does one ticket cost?
      A.'1.40. B.'4.30. C.'6.40. D.'8.60
      10美元,两张票,找零1.40美元,说明每张票为4.30美元。
      从以上例子可以看出,含有数量概念的题,对话中提到的数量一般不可能为正确答案,总要同学们进行一些简单的加减运算。 
 
      4）言外之意、弦外之音
      推测说话者话中之话是听力中必考的题型。从试题的设计特点来看,大体有一下几种：

　　(1)对虚拟语气的考查
      包含虚拟语气的听力考题中一般都有"是与非"相对的选项,这就要求同学们了解虚拟语气的表意功能,根据虚拟语气判断正确选项。如：
      ①W: I'm thinking of going to Austin for a visit. Do you think it's worth seeing?
      M: Well, I wish I had been there.
      Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
      A. The man is planning a trip to Austin.
      B. The man has not been to Austin before. 
      C. The man doesn't like Austin.
      D. The man has been to Austin before.
      I wish I had been there.说明说话人没有去过。

　　②W: If it hadn't been snowing so hard, I might have been home by 9 o'clock.
      M: It's too bad you didn't make it. Jane was here and she wanted to see you.
      Q: What happened to the woman?
      A. She got home before 9 o'clock.
      B. She had a bad cold.
      C. She had a car accident.
      D. She was delayed.
      If it hadn't been snowing so hard, I might have been home by 9 o'clock.说明因为雪太大,说话者未能在9点前到家。也就是说she was delayed。
