听力文本及答案解析

01

W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me. 

M: Take it easy, Allen. Things will work out. 

Q: What does the man advice¹⁸ the woman to do?

答案: C

分析：这道题的四个选项都是表示一个动作的。所以这一道动作推断题。属于比较难的一种短对话题型。一般需要比较全面的理解对话内容才能做出判断。我们看这段对话，女人首先是抱怨：我真得对John很生气，他从来都不听我的。然后男人说了：Take it easy，放轻松一点，Things will work out，事情会解决的。这里的前半句对应了C选项中的calm 后半句则对应了patient。所以C是一个比较完美的对应项。这里请大家把个词记一下Take it easy 轻松一点 work out 可以解决，计算出，设计出

02

M: Linda is very quiet , But her brother talks too much

W: Yes you are right and he isn’t friendly either 

Q: What’s their opinion¹⁹ of Linda’s brother

答案：D

分析：这一题应该是比较简单得的，首先看选项我们就可以排除B,C两项，因为这两个选项基本是一个意思，属于同意项等例排除。接下来关键就是女人说的这句he isn’t friendly ，他不那么友好。也就对应了D选项的not a pleasant person.

03

W: When can the doctor see me ?

M: He won’t be free²⁰ until²¹ tomorrow

Q: What does the man mean

答案：C

分析：这题也还是比较简单的，关键是男人的这句He won’t be free until tomorrow。 Until 的用话应该是初中就学的吧，到……为止，在……以前。这句话的意思就是说医生明天以前都没空。也就是今天一天都很忙咯，选C，没什么异议吧。

04

M: It was the third time Roger had²² phoned me to say he had a new job

W: It’s difficult to keep a young man in one job for life²³ nowadays 

Q: What does the woman mean

答案：B

分析：这是一道两个就某件事情讨论，要求我们从对话中判断谈话者对这件事的观点。这是挺难的一种题型，这类对话一般比较长，用词也相对比较正式，另外一般也不太可能通过一两个关键词解体，必须全面理解。但近年这类对话还是比较多考的，如今年1月就考了一道讨论网络教育和传统教育的等。我们来看这段对话，男人说 ：这已经是Roger第三次打电话给我说他有了一个新工作了。从男人的话中我们获得的信息是Roger经常在换工作。然后女人对此事表态说：现如今很难让年轻人一生就干一个工作。说明现在的年轻人不会再一个工作上做很久的对应B选项。

05

M: Did²⁴ you mind²⁵ coming back by coach²⁶ instead²⁷ of by train? 

W: No , we didn't mind at all. It took a lot longer, but it was very comfortable²⁸ and it was much cheaper.

Q: How did the woman feel about the coming back by coach?

答案：B

分析：四个选项都是针对女人的，所以女人是对话的主角。男人首先是提出个建议问：介不介意坐coach 马车回去。主要看女人怎么回答，女人首先说No,这个我前几期已经讲过了这个No是针对Do you mind的。也就是女人不介意，当然后面这句we didn't mind at all也说明得很清楚了。然后她陈述了理由：说虽然时间会比较久一点（longer）但是它非常舒适（comfortable）而且要便宜的多（cheaper）。A C D三个选项显然与女人的的陈述是相反的，所以只有B是正确选项

下面是总结的四级听力小技巧。最后一段对话男人提出了一个建议用的句型是：Do you mind……。那么一起来看一下提出自己建议还有那些句型吧？
