第一节试题分析
一、对话内容若按对话内容分类， 听力对话可分为以下几种类型：
1.时间类：包括直接型和计算型。如：
W： Your library books are due on December 13th. If you have not finished using them by then， you may renew them once.
M： Thank you very much . I only need them for a few days.
Q： When must the man return his books to the library？
2.数字类：包括直接型和计算型。如：
W： Do you live in a college dormitory？
M： Yes， I do. It s a sixman suite， but at the moment only four of us live there.
Q： How many people share the suite now？
3.地点类：包括直接型和含蓄型。如：
M： I need to cash this check？
W： Will you step right over to the teller s window， please？
Q：Where is the conversation most probably taking place？
4.否定类：此类对话既可以含有not， no， neither， nor等否定词， 也可以含有but， although等转折词， 或由would rather， too...to结构及虚拟语气等表达。因此， 对于后者要特别加以注意。如：
M： Ann， do you have any extra money you could loan me？
W： I wish I could help you. I went shopping yesterday. Now I have only two dollars till the end of the week.
Q： Will the man borrow any money from the woman？
此题的答案肯定是No。听这段话时要抓住I wish I could help you.这一关键话语。这句话虽然从表面上看是肯定式， 但却隐含着I m sorry I can t help you.的意思。
又如：
(1)M：Tom must be joking when he said he plans to sell his shop and go to medical school.
W：You are quite right！He s just kidding！He s also told me time and time again he wished to study for some profession instead of going into business.
Q：What will Tom probably do according to the conversation？
(2)W：I hear your boss has a real good impression of you，and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month.
M：I hope not.I d rather get more work hours I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college.
Q：What does the man truly want？
5.人物类：包括人物关系、人物身份两类。此类对话提供一个情节， 能反映所涉及的人的关系或身份。如：
M： Good evening， Madam. There is a table for two over there. This way， please.
W： Thank you. Could I see the menu， please？
Q： What s the relationship between the man and woman？
6.活动类：这一类谈话内容可涉及上课、娱乐、工作、日常生活等各种情况。如：
(1)W： Are you going to New York next weekend？
M： Yes， I m going to look up Bill while I m there.
Q： What s the man going to do？
(2)W： Jim，you are on the net again！We are going to get off.It s time for the talk show！
M：Just a minute dear！I m looking at a new jewelry site.I want to make sure I get the right gift for mom s birthday.
Q：What is the man doing right now？
这类对话中往往先后出现几种情况， 要注意听问句是什么， 然后再作出选择。
虽然对话的提问一般都是针对对话中出现的一些细节， 但是对于文章句意的把握也是很重要的， 可以使考生避免犯大的错误。六级对话中往往有一些句子意思很难把握， 其原因多数是因为其句型特殊， 尤其是那些听起来是肯定， 但真实意思却是否定以及外表是否定但却表达肯定意思的句子。
形肯定意否定的句型：
1.I d like to／I d love to， but．．．表否定， 重点放在but后面。如：
—The students English club is having a party on Saturday night．Can you come？
—I would like to， but I work at a restaurant on weekends.
又如：
—Shall we eat in the school diningroom tonight？
—I d like to， but the Western food doesn t agree with me．Let s go to a Chinese restaurant for a change.
2.使用虚拟语气的句子。在很多六级听力考试试题当中， 经常采用虚拟语气， 这些句子形式上是肯定的， 但往往表达一种“本应该， 本可以（却没有）， 希望”的情绪， 放在一定的语言环境中表否定。而这一点也是考生常忽略的， 要特别注意。如：
—If the traffic wasn t so bad， I could have been home by 6∶00.
—What a pity！ John was here to see you.（意思是如果早到家的话， 就可以见到约翰了， 但是事实是因为交通堵塞， 没能及时回家。）又如：
—Do you like physics？
—Well， I wish it were interesting.（意思是事实上对物理一点也没有趣。）
—I need a bike today， but mine has a flat tyre.
—I m sorry to hear that.I would have lent you if Bill hadn t taken it away.（意思是不能借给你。）
3.I m sorry， ...。这种句型是委婉的否定， 其后一般接原因。如：
—Hello， may I speak to John Smith， please？
—I m sorry， nobody by that name works here.意思是说没有叫约翰·史密斯的人。）
4.由形容词last构成的特殊句型。这种结构的字面意思是“……是最后一个”， 但真正的意思是“……是最不可能的”。如：
—Would you like to go mountain climbing with us？
—That s the last thing in the world I want to do.（字面意思是：爬山是这世界上我最后想做的事， 反过来讲就是根本不想去爬山。）
—I heard Tom was the man who robbed Mr.Smith s house.
—But I think he is the last one to do such a thing.（意思是他根本不可能做这件事。）
5.anything but句型。此句型在六级考试中阅读理解部分， 如果出现在听力理解部分， 应该来说比较难， 但是如果我们掌握了它的基本意思“除……以外的任何事物”或“根本不”， 并在听的过程中多加小心的话， 还是可以做对的。如：
—Everyone is helping out with dinner． Could you make the soup？
—Anything but that.（意思是我不可能做汤。）
6.由一些特殊短语构成的句型。这种短语很多， 因此就需要考生平时不断地积累， 这里先举两个短语为例：
—You re not much of a rock and roll fan， are you？
—It s far from being my favorite kind of music， that s for sure.（这里的be far from短语意思是“远非”， 可理解为“这根本不是我所喜欢的音乐”。）
—Can you possibly lend me ＄10 until payday？
—It s out of the question．（这里整个对话的理解就取决于对out of the question这个短语的理解， 而通过以往的知识我们知道它的意思是“不可能的”， 因此这里应理解为“我不可能借给你”。）
形否定意肯定的句型：
1.Why don t you／Why not．．．？这种句型相对来说比较简单， 意思是“为什么不呢？”， 但我们还是应该注意它真正表达的是一个肯定概念， 即“建议做某事”。如：
—John， I don t know what to get for your father．He has just have everything， doesn t he？ Do you have any suggestions？
—Why don t you get him a pocket calculator？
2.Do you mind．．．？问句的回答用No， of course not．或者Not at all．虽然字面上是否定的， 而且也理解为“不介意”， 但考虑到具体的语境， 通常都应理解为肯定的， 意思是对方可以做其想做的。如：
—Do you mind if I borrow your note？
—No， of course not. They are on my desk.（从侧面讲对方可以使用其笔记。）
3.not...until...句型。此句型一般都应理解为“直到……才”， 因此是肯定的。如：
—When can the doctor see me？
—He won t be free until tomorrow.（意思是直到明天才能见你。）
4.not...more／better构成的特殊句型。
此句型意思是不可能有比这样更好的情况发生了， 反过来讲就是指这样很好， 说者对此表示赞许， 所以此句型仍然表示的是肯定意思。如：
—I think it s high time we turned our attention to the danger of drunk driving now.
—I can t agree with you more．You see countless innocent people are killed by drunk drivers each year.（意思是说后者非常同意第一人的观点）
—How is your business， Bob？
—Sales have never been better.（意思是说生意相当不错。）
5.Without a doubt；Don t mention it；No problem等作为回答的否定句型。这些我们常用的作为回答的句型， 其实在语境中通常是用作肯定的回答， 意思是“没问题”， 肯定是这样的。如：
—Do you think we have to review the Chapterof Industrial Revolution？
—Without a doubt， it will be on the exam．
—Do you think you could have this skirt ready by Thursday morning？
—No problem．You can come and fetch it．
6.由一些除not和never之外的否定词如hardly， seldom ， scarcely， rarely等构成的句型。这种句型其实本身就应归结为否定句， 现将其放到这里是想强调这些句子如果出现在听力理解当中， 学生经常容易疏忽这些词的否定意思， 因此需特别留意。如：
—What a surprise！Tim has improved his English so much after a holiday abroad.
—I can hardly hear an accent.（意思是几乎听不出有任何地方口音。） 二、问题类型六级听力考试的问题一般都是所谓“WhQuestion”提问， 即由疑问代词what， who(whom)， which和疑问副词when， where， why， how等来引导一个问句。
What引导的问题
在六级听力试题中， 由what引导的问题是最常见的， 通常会占到全部提问的50%以上。通常有以下几类：
（1）归纳结论。
What conclusion can you draw from the woman s /man s statement？
（2）概括材料大意。
What do we learn from the conversation？
What can we learn from the passage？
What is the passage mainly about？
What does the passage mainly tell us？
(3)推断作者或谈话者意图， 推断隐含意图。
What did the woman/man intend to do？
What will the woman/man do firstly？
What can we infer from the passage？
What does the last sentence of the passage mean？
(4)对细节问题提问。这类问题五花八门， 主要是依所问细节不同进行提问。
What s the man s attitude towards the camping？
What did the man do shortly after his graduate？
What s the woman/man in the passage？
在遇到这类问题时， 思路要尽量放开。在大体把握材料内容的同时， 还要注意相关的细节， 结合选项推断出所要考查的内容， 经过简单的归纳推理， 就能选出正确答案。
When引导的问题
时间是听力测试一个重点， when即是用来对与时间有关的信息进行提问。
When does the man/woman want to leave？
What time is it now？
When does the man/woman need the room？
When does the class/lecture/meeting begin？
When does the bus/plane leave？
做这种题时， 应将重点放在对时间信息的辨别和选择上：
(1)对时间的表达要相当熟悉， 能迅速作出反应。除了熟悉常用的时间表达方式外， 还应熟悉一些时间的另外说法， 如：quarter， half， hour， past， to等。
(2)准确区分并理解表示时间先后信息的用法及表达。如：not...until...， after， before， then， early， ahead of， later， delay， slow， fast， left， away等。
(3)能迅速听懂数字， 并进行简单计算。这就要求既要能听清时间的表达， 又要能听懂句中的时间比较信息， 再进行简单的运算。
Where引导的问题
where用于对地点信息进行提问。这类问题要么要求考生能从材料中直接获得有关的地点信息， 考查细节信息把握能力；要么要求考生根据材料叙述的信息推断出事件或谈话可能发生的特定场所， 要求考生具有一般的英语背景文化常识和空间想像推测能力。如：
Where do the man/woman prefer to live？
Where does the conversation most probably take place？
Where will Fred be at 4∶30？
Where does the man live before 1970？
Where are the man s glasses？
做这类题时， 应注意：
(1)抓住材料中的直接地点信息。这在短文理解及对话理解中非常重要。
(2)特别注意不同介词表达的地点的不同， 最常见的如：in， on， at， under， above， behind， beside， near， next， over等。
(3)抓住在特定地点才会出现的特定用语， 这对于判断地点的对话题尤为关键。如：open an account一般是在银行， show me the menu一般在餐馆， take one s temperature是在医院等。
How和Why引导的问题
这类问题出现较多， 主要用于：
(1)提问说话人对某事物的感觉、反应等。
How does the man/woman feel about...？
(2)提问某种问题的解决方式和方法。
How did the man solve the problem？
(3)对年龄、距离、价款及数量等数字信息进行提问。如：How many， How much， How old， How long等引导的提问。
对于这类题， 除了要求准确把握细节外， 还需要对总体内容有一定的了解。如问对某事的处理方式就需要整体的把握。
Why引导的问题是针对原因提出的， 如：
Why does the woman/man...？
这类问题一般要把握事物发生的内在逻辑联系， 才能总结出相应的原因。
Who和Which引导的问题
即“谁/哪一个”式的提问。Who问题常用在以下情况：
(1)提问身份。
Who is the man/woman？
Who do you think the woman is？
(2)提问行为的发生者。
Who will work for the company？
(3)提问行为的承受者。
Who would the man/woman help？
Which问题一般就材料中的细节信息提问。
Which one does the man are to take？
另外， 也会出现在一些正误判断选择题中。
Which of the following is true/NOT true according to the passage？
Which one is NOT mentioned in the passage？
做这两类问题， 主要在于对相关细节信息的把握。而对于正误判断题， 就要求考生全面把握材料信息， 不漏听要点。三、应试技巧众所周知， 像六级考试这样的大型全国性考试， 选题都是相当严谨的。听力试题中的材料都有紧密的内在联系性和很强的逻辑性。由于要对考生有较高的要求， 因此， 大部分的对话题目都不是直接得到答案， 必须经过相应的推断与归纳才能得到。在四级听力考试中， 这种推断归纳题就有相当比重， 而在六级听力试题中， 这类题的比重又有进一步的提高。
对信息进行预测和判断
在人们的日常会话中， 听者对所听信息的理解程度通常取决于其知识、经历以及对信息主题的熟悉程度。听者往往会依此就对方的谈话内容进行一些超前的预测， 以确定自己的作答和应对之策。六级听力对话题的材料都是日常生活中场景式的对话， 上述的交谈规律同样存在并发挥作用。如我们可以从对话者的语气、语调、委婉表达， 推测出说话者的态度、倾向性及话外音。甚至由试题给出的各选项也能推测出此对话材料的内容范围及问题的类型。如有一对话题的四个选项如下：
A.Satisfied.B.Tired.
C.Interested.D.Discouraged.
四个选项都是关于感受和态度的形容词， 很容易猜测出， 这段对话是关于对某事的态度或者感受的交谈， 提问自然也是问某人的感受。在听材料之前考生如能浏览一下选项， 并做相应预测， 听的时候就能更容易抓住要点。
推测和判断取决于考生两方面的能力：一是考生的知识、经历和对会话主题的了解程度。这种知识、经历主要源于平时学习和生活的积累。应该说大部分汉语文化下的生活常识与英语都是相通的， 具有一定的通用性， 我们可以用汉语的思维来理解， 但也有些特殊的方面， 两种语言文化下的理解是大相径庭甚至绝然相反的， 对这些差异考生应该特别加以注意。二是预测和判断的技巧。预测从某种意义上说就是猜测， 也就是以谈话者的信息为基础， 结合自己的理解进行分析、加工， 作出符合逻辑情理的推断。
W：Jane is so disappointed. She was expecting Bob to bring fresh fish for tonight s dinner.
M：Too bad， but the waves were so high that Bob didn t even try to go out on the lake.
Q：What had Bob intended to do？
A.Go fishing.B.Go shopping.
C.Eat out.D.Buy fish.
如果听前能浏览四个选项， 大致能猜测出是关于某人动作或动向的内容。从女方的话中， 既然她对于Bob未能弄到鲜鱼做晚餐感到十分失望， 马上就能推断出， Bob有bring fresh fish的打算， 但显然没有实现， 那么为什么未能实现， 又是用何种办法来弄到鲜鱼呢， 是自己钓还是去商店买？男方的话给出了谜底：计划未能实现是因为风浪太大， 并且显然是打算钓鱼来作晚餐。因为只有钓鱼， 湖上起大风浪才可能使它无法实施。有了这些预测和判断， 对于问题“Bob原打算做什么？”就能准确地选出A项为正确答案了。
要做到对所听信息进行准确地预测和判断， 就不能做一个被动的信息接受者， 而应该积极地调动主观思维， 试图融入到对话所处的真实情景中去， 用自己的生活阅历和理解揣摩说话者的语气和真实意图。此外， 听前浏览选项并作相应预测也很有帮助。
推断观点
英语会话有个十分重要的特点， 那就是人们往往会用含蓄的方式来表达某种观点、要求或态度。例如：
On entering the sitting room the mother says to her children “The newspaper is all over the floor.”
母亲的弦外之音相当明确， 那就是希望孩子们收拾一下地板上乱糟糟的报纸。而孩子只要稍加推敲， 就会明白母亲的意图， 自动收拾地板了。
在六级听力测试中， 上述这种情况极为常见。说话的一方用含蓄的方式来表达某个意思， 考生必须通过上下文、语气语调等信息， 才能理解出其真实意图。
M：I m in big trouble， Jane. I need some cash badly but I haven t the slightest idea where I m going to get it.
W：I m glad to hear that—I was afraid for a minute you might have an idea that you could borrow it from me.
Q：What does the woman mean？
A.She doesn t want to lend the man any money.
B.She is glad that the man is in big trouble.
C.She can show her favor by having an idea to get the cash.
D.She hopes the man can only borrow the money from her.
男方遇到大麻烦——急需一笔钱， 却不知道上哪儿去弄。在这种情况， 按照一般的理解， 女方会慷慨解囊， 资助男方， 但这一题却反其道而行之。从女方开场白的glad就能看出苗头， 哪有他人遇难还表示乐意的？听到后面我们就能明白， 原来女方是怕男方会向她伸手借钱， 所以才惴惴不安， 当男方说不知上哪儿弄钱时， 心里的石头才落地。glad是理解女方真实意思的关键， 由glad再结合后面的话可以看出， 女方十分不愿意借钱给男方， 因此A项为正确答案。
要正确理解说话者的真实意图， 就不能只片面理解字面意思， 而应该结合具体语境、语气和语调， 仔细揣摩。
再如：
(1)W：Just look at this newspaper！Nothing but murder，death and war！Do you still believe people are basically good？
M：Of course I do！But newspapers hardly ever report stories about peace and generosity.They are not news！
Q：What do we learn from the conversation？
A.The man is generous with his good comments on people.
B.The woman is unsure if there will be peace in the world.
C.The woman is doubtful about newspaper stories.
D.The man is quite optimistic about human nature.
(2)M：I heard you took a trip to Mexico last month.How did you like it？
W：Oh，I got sick and tired of the hotel and hotel food！So now I understand the thing：East，west，home s best！
Q：What does the woman mean？
A.She was exhausted from her trip.
B.She missed the comforts of home.
C.She was impressed by Mexican food.
D.She will not go to Mexico again.
归纳概括结论
在谈话过程中， 除了作一些推断之外， 听者常依据对方谈话信息作出一些结论和概括。例如：
听到There is Bill on his motorcycle. Did he take it to the garage to fixed？ 就会猜想到这样的结论：摩托车肯定坏了， 需要修理。There is something wrong with Bill s motorcycle. 但是， 如果再听到这样的回答：Don t be silly， that would have been a waste of money. It only had a flat tire. 原来并不是大问题， 只是轮胎瘪了。我们就能得到最终结论：Bill有点小题大作。
在六级对话题中， 有很多题目都要求考生对有关内容得出结论。如果是对一方的话进行设问， 通常是问此人对某事的认同或反对；如果是对整个对话内容设问， 往往是问双方讨论的结果如何。
W：Jack must have been joking when he said that he was going to quit his job.
M：Don t be too sure. He told me that he was trying to sell his house.
Q：What conclusion does the man want us to make？
A.He doesn t believe that Jack will sell the house.
B.He believes that Jack was joking.
C.He agrees to what the woman said.
D.He believes that Jack will quit his job.
女方用must have been joking来表示自己的较为肯定的推断， 即她认为Jack是在开玩笑， 他不会真去辞掉工作。男方除了否定女方观点之外， 又用另一个例子：Jack说他将卖掉房子， 来论证女方所说事情的可能性， 因为既然想卖房子， 那么想辞掉工作很正常， 也许Jack是打算出国或去别的地方工作。因此， 男方的实际意思是， 他相信女方说的事不是开玩笑， 而是认真的。选D项。
再如：
W：I m worried about Anna.She s really been depressed lately.All she does is staying in her room all day.
M：That sounds serious！She d better see a psychiatrist at the counseling centre.
Q：What does the man suggest Anna do？
A.Cheer herself up a bit.
B.Find a more suitable job.
C.Seek professional advice.
D.Take a psychology course.
《改革方案》中要求， 听力对话除了听力短对话以外， 还增加了听力长对话这一新题型。
根据六级考试委员会公布的样卷，长对话一共有两组，每组对话后面会有三至五个题目，提问方式会包括短对话里介绍过的所有形式，只是这些问题都会围绕着长对话的内容。与短对话相比，长对话涉及的内容更深入，人物态度、语气、情感变化更复杂，一般不能简单依赖某个关键词来判断整篇对话的含义。
长对话涉及面较广， 集中在学校、家庭、娱乐、生活等大学生熟悉的方方面面。一般来说， 层次丰富、信息量多， 要求高，有时需作些笔记。
W：We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live uptodate coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country of Karmak， where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan...
M：This is Stan Fielding reporting live from the suburbs of the capital city. Just 20 minutes ago， Rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18month conflict here in this country.
W：Now Stan， is this a sign that the peace process has been totally abandoned？
M：Well， so far， peace negotiations have failed， and any resolution to end the civil war appears bleak at this moment. As you can see... whoa.
W：Stan， Stan， are you there？
M：Uh， yes， Shelly， as you can probably hear behind me， rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in， and it s feared that they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where， it is believed， many government officials are holding out.
W：Now， besides the heavy fighting， what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city？
M：Well， since the beginning of the conflict， starvation， and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this wartorn country.It is believed that over 40，000 people， mostly children， have starved to death. Fortunately， no epidemics have broken out， but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
W：Okay， that was Stan Fielding reporting. And we will keep you tuptodate as this story continues to unfold.
2007年6月的长对话的命题完全脱离了以往听力题目以学校生活为主要背景的做法，而将对话内容全部安排在工作和商务场景之下。例如：
W：Morning. Can I help you？
M：Well， I m not rally sure. I m just looking.
W：I see. Well， there s plenty to look at it again this year. I m sure you have to walk miles to see each stand.
M：That s true.
W：Er...， would you like a coffee？ Come and sit down for a minute， no obligation.
M：Well， that s very kind of you， but...
W：Now， please. Is this the first year you ve been to the fair， Mr....
M：Yes， Johnson， James Johnson.
W：My name s Susan Carter. Are you looking for anything in particular， or are you interested in computers in general？
M：Well， actually， I have some specific jobs in mind. I owe a small company， we ve grown quite dramatically over the past 12 months， and we really need some technological help to enable us to keep on top of everything.
W：What s your line of business， Mr. Johnson？
M：We re a training consultancy.
W：I see. And what do you mean “to keep on top”？
M：The first thing is correspondence. We have a lot of standard letters and forms. So I suppose we need some kind of word processor.
W：Right. Well， that s no problem. But it may be possible for you to get a system that does a lot of other things in addition to word processing. What might suit you is the MR5000. That s it over there！ It s IBM compatible.
M：What about the price？
W：Well， the MR5000 costs 1，050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware.
M：Well， I ll think about it. Thank you.
W：Here s my card. Please feel free to contact me.
上面这篇长对话体现了命题组对于考试改革的诉求——强调在实际环境中语言运用能力。参加六级考试的考生即将走上社会，投入实际工作，因此，以工作场景为核心，强调商务英语将会是六级听力题中一种重要题材。其实，国家教委所发行的样题中的第一篇长对话就是这方面的内容。所以，考生应当对这种题材予以关注。
从题型的角度来说，长对话需要我们在听之前借鉴短对话的预读方法做预判，而听的时候以短文理解题的思路，逐题定位答案。如上面所列短文问题：
1.A.At a fair.
B.At a cafeteria.
C.In a computer lab.
D.In a shopping mall.
2.A.The latest computer technology.
B.The organizing of an exhibition.
C.The purchasing of some equipment.
D.The dramatic changes in the job market.
3.A.Data collection.
B.Training consultancy.
C.Corporate management.
D.Information processing.
Q1.Where did the conversation take place？
Q2.What are the speakers talking about？
Q3.What is the man s line of business？
这三个问题分别是对话发生的地点、对话主要内容和男士从事的行业。前两题都是短对话中常见的问题，比较熟悉，比较容易把握。其实，只要一看第1题的选项，介词in，at开头加地点名词的短语，熟悉选项预读技巧的同学可以在听录音之前就直接判断出题方向了。且三道题目，第1题考察在对话开头，第2题通过对话的层层展开得到提示，第3题在文章结尾处出现答案，这种考点布置的手法，与短文理解题如出一辙。
在六级听力长对话中可能会出现一两个难词、偏词，但这不会影响解题。例如：
M：Hi， Anna！ Welcome back！ How s your trip to the States？
W：Very busy. I had a lot of meetings， so， of course， I didn t have much time to see New York.
M：What a pity！ Actually， I have a trip there myself next week.
W：Do you？ Then take my advice， do the wellbeing in the air program. It really works.
M：Oh， I read about that in a magazine. You say it works？
W：Yes， I did the program on the flight to the States， and when I arrived at New York， I didn t have any problem， no jet lag at all. On the way back， I didn t do it， and I felt terrible.
M：You re joking！
W：Not at all， it really meant a lot of difference.
M：En. So what did you do？
W：Well， I didn t drink an alcohol or coffee， and I didn t eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water， and fresh juice， and I ate the noodles on the wellbeing menu. They re lighter. They have fish， vegetables， and noodles， for example， and I did some of the exercises of the program.
M：Exercises？ On a plane？
W：Yes. I didn t do many， of course， there isn t much space on a plane.
M：How many passengers do the exercises？
W：Not many.
M：Then how much champagne did they drink？
W：A lot！ It was more popular than mineral water.
M：So， basically， it s a choice. Mineral water and exercises， or champagne and jet lag.
W：That s right！ It s a difficult choice.
这篇长对话发生在同事之间，女士刚从纽约出差回来，向男士介绍了飞行旅途中的一项wellbeing program(健康计划)，其中提到这项健康计划旨在降低旅客的jet lag，即“由飞行引起的身体不适”。这个词先后两次出现在文章中。而其中有一题针对健康计划的目的和作用来提问，因此必须理解jet lag才能解题。要理解这个词，其实并不难，我们只要利用上下文稍加推测即可。男士在对话结尾处提到：So，basically，it s a choice.Mineral water and exercises，or champagne and jet lag.从中我们可以得知jet lag是和锻炼等健康的生活方式相反的一个选择，也就是会另人不适的，理解到这一层就可以做题了。
总之，长对话是听力考试中介于短对话和听力短文两者之间的一种题型。这种题型要求应试者具备综合的听力素质，即要注意其中的细节，又要注意整体的把握。因此，考生应该在平时的训练中学会自己总结经验，并抓住自己的弱点集中专项训练，这样在考试中才能做到有的放矢，从容应对。
第二节试题训练
一、短对话时间与数字题
1.A.＄120.B.＄108.C.＄90.D.＄40.
M：I ll have these shoes. Please tell me how much I owe you.
W：They are ＄40 a pair and three pairs make a total of ＄120. But today we offer a 10% discount.
Q：How much does the man have to pay？
答案为B。本题关键是听懂女士的话。＄40 a pair指40美元一双， make a total of ＄120指总计120美元， a 10% discount意为打10%的折扣。120美元打完10%的折扣后应该是108美元， 所以答案为B。
2.A.8∶00B.8∶30
C.9∶00D.9∶30
W：Does your class start at 8∶00 every morning？
M：No. On Wednesday it doesn t start until 8∶30 and on Friday not until 9：00.
Q：What time does the man s class start on Thursday？
答案为A。女士问， 是不是每天都8∶00开始上课；男士说， 不是， 并补充说星期三8∶30开始， 星期五9∶00开始。但问题问的是：星期四几点开始上课。那么应该是8∶00开始。
3.A.7∶15pm.B.6∶45pm.

M：Well， what is it？
W：It s an experimental course. I registered for Child Psychology. All I have to do is to watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them several different times a day and in several different locations.
M：Don t you ever have to meet with your professor？
