4 从提问方式看考查重点

（1）信息比较题：这样的题目需要多处信息的理解，通常较难。这样的题目大约占了四分之一。近几年的提问方式如下：

Parcel Express needs the following details about the sender EXCEPT
Mark used to wear all the following EXCEPT
The following details are true about the new device EXCEPT
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the woman?
Which of the following is NOT needed for the Lost Property Form？
Which of the following details about the changing rooms is NOT correct?
Which of the following details is NOT correct?
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

这样的题目中题干通常包含EXCEPT或者具有否定意义的单词，如NOT，INCORRECT等。解题过程中，考生可以从题干中抓住关键词如“wear”，“changing rooms”等，但是有些题目没有关键词可取，仅从题干和选项很难判断命题人员的意图，考生只有在听的过程中多加留意了。

例题4（2007年真题）
O: Yes, well, we want to attract people to our club. Now, here are the changing rooms, with showers and lockers for your clothes and things. Obviously you don’t have to leave your
clothes in the lockers, but we strongly advise you to; it’s much safer.
M: How much do the lockers cost?
O: Twenty cents, but you get the coin back when you take your things out. Right. And the tennis courts are round here to the left.

Question: Which of the following details about the changing rooms is NOT correct?
A. There is a charge for the use of the locker.
B. Showers are installed in the changing rooms.
C. Lockers are located in the changing rooms.
D. Lockers are used to store personal belongings.

解析：A。此题考查对网球俱乐部更衣室相关信息的理解。题干出现否定，加大题目难度，同时解题所需信息的跨度加大，涉及多个句子。

（2）原因目的题：近几年的考题中，主要以表原因的单词来提问，如for，because，because of，why等。通常的提问方式有：

Parcels must be left open mainly for
Maggie fi nally decided to go to see a fi lm because
Why didn’t Bill want one of them?
Mr. Robinson worked for the Indian Government because of
Mr. Brown brought with him only a few things because

这样的提问方式属于推理题，考生可以从题干中提炼关键词，在听的过程中关注听力录音中出现的单词是否和题干中的关键词吻合，从而获取答案。

例题5（2008年真题）
Mr.Brown (B): Yes, nurse. I think so. I followed the hospital’s advice and I’ve only brought a few belongings with me.
N: Good, you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that: the cupboard is really very small.

Question: Mr. Brown brought with him only a few things because
A. there wasn’t enough space in the cupboard.
B. the hospital would provide him with everything.
C. he was to stay there for a very short time.
D. visitors could bring him other things.

解析：A。这是一则关于住院时病人和医护人员之间的谈话节选。题干中表原因的“because”和听力录音中的“the reasons”对应。此外，题干中的关键单词“brought with”，“ a few things”和对话录音中的单词“only brought a few belongings with”吻合，而且答案关键词“wasn’t enough space”也是听力录音中关键词“very small”的转换。

（3）地点方位题：这样的题目考查对话细节，通常以“where”提问。近几年的提问方式有：

Where is the meeting for new students to be held?
Where did they plan to meet?
From the conversation we know that Mark Adams comes from
Their meeting will probably take place in 

例题6（2010年真题）
B: Oh that’s terrible! How did you lose your briefcase?
A: Well, as you know, I was with my client at a meeting all morning and we had lunch together. After lunch I went shopping and when I wanted to buy something I couldn’t fi nd my checkbook. Then I remembered that it was in my briefcase and my briefcase was in my car.

Question: Where was Mary the whole morning?
A. At the police station. B. At a meeting.
C. In her client’s offi ce. D. In the restaurant.

解析：对话节选讲公文包如何弄丢了，考查问题是Mary早晨在做什么。解答的关键是留意话语标记语，如“Well, as you know”，常常伴随停顿，后面的信息往往比较重要。

（4）事实细节题：这样的题目通常无需拐弯抹角，听到什么就是什么，重在考查考生对信息的获取能力和理解。这样的题目大约占五分之一左右。近几年的提问方式有：

The woman’s last inquiry is mainly concerned with
Members of the club are required to
According to the club’s rules, members can play
After Mr. Robinson returned from India, he
According to the woman, advertisements
In the woman’s opinion, money spent on advertisements is paid
Which personal detail does the man give?
What is the main purpose of the research?

例题7（2007年真题）
Offi cial: Right. This is the tennis club reception area. As a member you don’t have to register when you arrive, but you must remember to register your guests, and you must be able to produce your membership card if a club offi cial asks to see it.

Question: Members of the club are required to
A. register when they arrive. B. bring up to three guests.
C. register their guests. D. show membership cards on arrival.

解析：C 这是一则关于网球俱乐部咨询的对话节选。正确答案中关键词“register guest”和听力录音吻合，而且正确答案位于转折连词“but”后，起到提示作用。

（5）时间题：时间题属于事实细节题的一种，但是考试经常会考查关键时间信息的获取，所以我们单独列出。常见的提问方式有：
On which day does the couple always go out?
When is Eric calling back?
When is Anne available for the meeting?
According to the hospital rules, at which of the following hours can visitors see patients?

例题8（2009年真题）
M: Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from Country Holidays. I wonder if you could do some catering for us next week. We’re having a small reception. It’s to launch our summer holiday advertising campaign. Would you be free?
W: When exactly is it, Mr. Smith?
M: Apr.21st. That’s Thursday. Oh, sorry, no. It should be Friday.
W: Oh, yes, I can do that. Where will you be holding it?

Question: When will the lunch be held?
A. Friday next week. B. Thursday next week.
C. April 30th. D. This week.

解析：对话节选部分涉及打电话的目的和时间安排，考查的问题是午餐的具体时间。从选项来看，C属于具体时间，而其他三项不具体，所以不应该选C；A和B都指下周，只是关键词有点差别，应该是备选项。
