【四级听力长对话原文1】

 M: Excuse me, I need some information about some of the towns near here.

W: What would you like to know?

M: Well, first, I'd like directions to go to Norwalk. I believe there is an interesting museum there. It isn't far, is it?

W: No, not at all. Norwalk is about eighteen miles east of here on Route 7. And you're right. It's a wonderful little museum.

M: Oh good. Now what about Amitsville? I have some friends. I'd like to visit there and I also want to get to Newton. They are near each other, aren't they?

W: Hmm... well, they are actually in opposite directions. Amitsville is northeast. It's about thirty five miles northeast of here.

M: Huh-uh, thirty five miles northeast. And how about Newton?

W: Well, Newton is in the other direction. It's southwest, so it isn't really very close to Amitsville at all and it's a long drive. It's about fifty five miles southwest from here and the road is not at all straight.

M: Fifty five miles southwest! Well, maybe I won't go there this time.

W: I'd recommend visiting Westfield or Great Town. They are both very close. Westfield is just seven miles west of here and Great Town is about five miles south. They are really pretty little towns with lots of old houses and beautiful tree-lined streets.

M: I see. Seven miles west to Westfield and five miles south to Great Town. Good. Well, I think that's all the information I need for a while. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

W: You're welcome, sir. I hope you enjoy your stay.

【点评】

该对话属于比较常见“问路”话题。因此考生在考试中听到开头一两句之后可以在草稿纸上画一个东西南北的方位箭头图,中心点是男士所在的地方。这样听到后面介绍其它景点时,可以立刻在相应方位把地名缩写和距离数字很快记下。避免听到很多不同地名和数字时候头脑一片混乱。

三个问题都是考查事实细节。但没有考查Norwalk,Amitsville and Newton,Westfield and Great Town这几个地方的具体距离及位置,因此题目比较容易。因此该话题备考一方面有意识记下数字和方位以防万一考查具体点,另一方面要注意理解对话的中出现的一些中心句。如“…they are actually in opposite directions.”
