英语四六级考试听力长对话10大听前预测方法

　　【预览选项】

　　[A]Not clearly specified.

　　[B]Not likely to be met.

　　[C]Reasonable enough.

　　[D]Apparently sexist.

　　【听前预测】

　　四个选项中均含有表示评论的词语(specified, reasonable等)，故问题很可能是关于某人对某事物的看法。

　　【听音验证】

　　W: Yes, erm, what sort of education are you actually looking for?

　　M: Well, you know, a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.

　　W: Yes, I think you’re asking quite a lot. I mean you’re not really prepared to pay all ...

　　M: No, I’m not prepared to give him a big salary to start with. Nevertheless, I want someone with plenty of ambition, plenty of drive. You know, not looking at the clock all the time.

　　W: Well sir, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have some very successful interviews.

　　M: Well, yes?

　　W: Because personally I think you’re asking an awful lot.

　　21. What does Brenda think of the qualifications Mr. Browning insists on?

　　五、选项中含有比较结构

　　如果选项中含有形容词或副词的比较级或最高级，或是其他表示比较的词语，则听力材料或问题很可能涉及人或事物之间的异同点或优劣的比较。

　　四个选项中如均含有比较级或表示比较的词，则表示问题是关于人或事物之间的比较;如其中只有个别选项中含有比较级，则表示听力材料中很可能涉及到人或事物之间的比较，问题内容则不一定会涉及。

　　【预览选项】

　　[A] Their competitors have long been advertising on TV.

　　[B]TV commercials are less expensive.

　　[C] Advertising in newspapers alone is not sufficient.

　　[D] TV commercials attract more investments.【听前预测】

　　由选项中的advertising on TV，advertising in newspapers以及比较级less expensive, attact more可知本题很可能涉及到电视广告和报纸广告之间优劣的比较。故听音时应留意比较级或其他陈述二者优劣特点的词句。

　　【听音验证】

　　W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.

　　M: TV? Isn't that a bit too expensive for us? What's wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?

　　W: Quite frankly, it's just not enough anymore.

　　22. Why does the woman suggest advertising on TV?

　　六、选项均为名词性短语

　　如选项均为概括性较强的名词或是名词性的短语，且各项内容差异较大，问题则很可能是关于对话所谈论的主题或对话中出现的某一事件或问题的主题。
