職業(yè)、身份和相互關(guān)系題
這種類型的題目相對(duì)比較簡(jiǎn)單。首先,四個(gè)選擇往往是4 種不同職業(yè)或者是表示兩個(gè)對(duì)話者之間關(guān)系的詞。如husband and wife, boss and secretary ,librarian and student 或customer and repairman等。選擇項(xiàng)的特點(diǎn)決定了提問的內(nèi)容。了解這一點(diǎn)后,在聽音過程中,就可以把注意力集中到一些關(guān)鍵詞或詞組上,以便作出準(zhǔn)確判斷。其次,提問的方式比較單一固定。
1 、常見的提問方式是:
What‘s the man/ woman?
What does the man/ woman do ?
What‘s the man ’s /woman‘s job/ profession/ occupation ?
What‘s the probable relationship between the man and woman ?
What‘s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
在聽音過程中,只需集中注意力聽清對(duì)話,根據(jù)對(duì)話提供的有效信息,便可
以比較快地作出正確選擇。
