短对话除了和四级相同的一些视听反向原则(即听到的单词和短语要慎选)和同义词替换原则(即准确答案经常是原文的同义词语的替换)之外,六级的小对话在出题方向上出现过一些明显的特点,总结如下:教授要求严格:例如布置作业很多、考试不容易过,上课要求准时、讲座难度高等等;2002年6月第9题:M:Erh-erh…LookslikeI'mgoingtobealittlelateforclass.IhopePro.Clarkdoesn'tstartontimetoday.W:Areyoukidding?Youcansetyourwatchbythetimehestartshisclass.Q:WhatcanbeinferredaboutPro.Clark?A)Hewantshisstudentstobeontimeforclass.B)Hedoesn'tallowhisstudentstotelljokesinclass.C)Heisalwayspunctualforhisclass.D)Herarelynoticeswhichstudentsarelate.解析:男生说:可能我得迟到一会儿了,我希望Clark教授今天没有准点开课。女生回答:开玩笑吧,他每次开始上课(时间都很准,以至于)你都可以对你的表。因此答案选C.2003年1月第6题W:ProfessorSmith,Ireallyneedthecreditstograduatethissummer.M:Hereatthisschoolthecreditsareearned,notgiven.Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?A)Themanthinksthewomancanearnthecredits.B)Thewomanisbeggingthemantoletherpasstheexam.C)Thewomanhastoattendasummercoursetograduate.D)Thewomanisgoingtograduatefromsummerschool.解析:女生说:教授,我需要这些学分才能暑假顺利毕业。教授回答:这个学校的学分是挣来的而不是给的。因此答案选B.另外:作业总是很重的负担,需要了解的是,作业包括各种各样的assignment、homework以及readinglist。2003年6月第8题M:Mr.Smith,ourhistoryprofessor,announcedwewouldbedoingtwopapersandthreeexamsthissemester.IwonderhowI'mgoingtopullthroughwhentwoothercourseshavesimilarrequirements.W:Well,can'tyoudroponecourseandpickitupnextsemester?Q:Whatdoesthewomansuggestthemando?A)Dotheassignmentstowardstheendofthesemester.B)Quitthehistorycourseandchooseanotheroneinstead.C)Droponecourseanddoitnextsemester.D)Takecourseswithalighterworkload.解析:男生抱怨道我们的历史老师Smith宣称这个学期我们要搞定两份论文三次考试。可是别的课程也有类似的要求,我都不知道我该怎么去应付了。女生建议道那你为什么不退一门课呢?下学期再选也不迟啊。因此答案选C。预订难以成功:房间、交通或演出的票、商品等都很难订到或买到。M:Iwonderwhetheritwouldbepossibletochangethisdoubleroomtotwosinglerooms.W:Sorry,sir.Allthesingleroomsareoccupied.Butifyoulike,IcancheckwithImperialHoteltoseeiftheyhaveany.Q:What'sthewomangoingtodofortheman?A)Lethimmovetoaroomwithtwosinglebeds.B)Checktoseeifthereareanyvacanciesinherhotel.C)Trytohelphimfindroomsinanotherhotel.D)ShowhimthewaytoImperialHotel.解析:中男生说:我不知道能不能把这个双人间换成两个单人间。女生回答:对不起先生,所有的单人间都订满了。如果你想要的话,我可以给你查查帝国饭店看看它们有没有。因此答案选C。女生更爱学习、男生更爱娱乐:2000年1月第1题W:It'sapityyoumissedtheconcertyesterdayevening.Itwaswonderful.M:Ididn'twanttomissthefootballgame.Well,I'mnotaclassicalmusicfananyway.Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?A)Themanwassorrytomissthefootballgame.B)Themanattendedtheconcert,butdidn'tlikeit.C)Themanwassorrythathedidn'tattendtheconcert.D)Themanismoreinterestedinfootballthaninclassicalmusic.解析:中男生说:你错过了昨天晚上的音乐会真可惜。它很棒的。男生回答:我不想错过足球赛啊,况且我不是一个古典音乐迷。因此答案选D。另外,交通工具容易迟到,邀约对方容易遭到拒绝(吃饭的邀请容易成功),事故中人不会死亡而是生还等特色规律都可以在题目中找到大量的佐证。长对话单就长对话而言,长对话作为六级听力改革后的新题型体现了命题组对于考试改革的诉求——强调在实际环境中的语言运用能力。涉及到的对话场景内容非常广泛,从校园生活到生活中的各种场景。学生可以通过抓住“信号词”来判断具体场景。经常涉及到的场景有:旅游(飞机,机场,出行准备等),校园,工作面试,访谈等。例题:2008年12月第一篇长对话22.A.OrganizingprotestsC.Actingasitsspokesman。B.RecruitingmembersD.Savingendangeredanimals。23.A.Anti-animal-abusedemonstrationsB.Anti-nuclearcampaignsC.SurveyingtheAtlanticOceanfloorD.Removingindustrialwaste。24.A.Byharassingthem.C.Bytakinglegalaction。B.ByappealingtothepublicD.Byresortingtoforce。25.A.DoubtfulB.ReservedC.Indifferent.D.Supportive听力原文:W:Right,well,inthestudiothismorning,forourinterviewspotisPeterWilson(人名,重要).PeterworksforGreenPeace(特殊表达,文章主题词).So,Peter,welcome。M:Thanksalot.It'sgoodtobehere。W:Great!Now,Peter,perhapsyoucantellussomethingaboutGreenPeaceandyourjobthere.(寒暄,为了迷惑考生,此处进入正题)M:Sure.Well,I'llstartbytellingyouroughlywhatGreenPeaceisallabout.IactuallyworkinLondonfortheGreenPeaceorganization(人物职业,22题考点1).We'vebeengoingforafewdecadesandwe'reanon-violent,non-politicalorganization.We'reinvolvedinanti-nuclearactivity,conservationandprotectionofanimalsandprotectionandsupportofoureco-system.I'mtheactionorganizerandarrangeanyprotests。(人物职业重复,22题考点。视听基本一致原则。)W:Right!Aprettyimportantrole.Peter.Whatsortofprotestwouldyouorganize?M:Well,recentlywe'vebeeninvolvedinanti-nuclearcampaigns.(问答关系,23题考点。视听一致原则。)I,personallyarrangedforthedemonstrationagainstradioactivewastedumpingintheAtlanticOcean.We'vegotafewsmallGreenPeaceboatsthatweharass(特殊词汇,首次出现,24题考点2)thedumpingshipwith。W:Say?Holdon,Peter.Ithoughtyousaidyourorganizationwasnon-violent.Whatdoyoumeanbyharass?(重复核心词,也是问题所在。问答关系。)M:Well,wecircleroundandroundtheshipsandgetinthewaywhentheytrytodumpthedrumsofnuclearwasteinthesea。(针对问题harass的具体回答,24题考点。)Wetalktothemenandtrytochange,youknow,yellatthemtostop.Wegenerallymakeourselvesasmuchofanuisanceaspossible。M:Well,peoplemaythinkdifferentlyofyourmethods,butthere'snodoubtyou'redoingagreatjob。(转折词but+态度判断词great,25题考点4),keepitupandgoodluck(继续态度判断).Andthanksfortalkingwithus。W:Thanksforhavingme。Q22.Whatistheman'schiefresponsibilityintheGreenPeaceorganization?Q23.WhathasGreenPeacebeeninvolvedinrecently?Q24.HowdoesGreenPeacetrytostoppeoplefromdumpingnuclearwaste?Q25.Whatisthewoman'sattitudetowardstheGreenPeace'scampaigns?Keys:ABAD解析:做题的时候一定要和短文一样对题目的出题位置有明确的把握,位置感很重要。一般而言,对话时,开头的客套以及问候与结尾的道别结束语很少出题,而对话中段往往才是重点。另外,本段长对话使用到了视听基本一致的原则。24题的考法是长对话中最典型的一种,就是针对动作行为进行发问,考点在于考生需要听明白人物发出的动作是什么,原文的动词harass和选项的harass是一摸一样,属于最简单的考法,而且原文重复两次,因此考生对此即便是不知道harass是什么意思也能选对。25题的考法是一贯的长对话结尾题,往往以态度判断和结论作为考察对象,此题选项均为态度词,很容易判
