八、包含其他選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容的選項(xiàng)往往不是答案

有的選項(xiàng)明顯包含其他選項(xiàng)的含義，那么該選項(xiàng)往往不是答案。

【例9】(托福)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

[A] She was impressed by it.

[B] It was a waste of money.

[C] She was amazed it had opened so soon.

[D] She didn’t like it as much as the other wings.【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

由選項(xiàng)中的impressed， a waste of money, amazed, like 等可推知本題是針對(duì)對(duì)某事物的看法設(shè)題的。選項(xiàng)[A]說(shuō)“it”給她留下了深刻印象，選項(xiàng)[C]說(shuō)她對(duì)“it”這么快就開(kāi)張(或開(kāi)放)感到吃驚，其含義包含[A]的含義在內(nèi)，故[C]很可能不是答案。

【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

M: Hey, how was your trip?

W: Wonderful. I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially liked the new wing. I was amazed to hear the guide explain all the problems they had building it.

……【答案解析】

34.What did the woman think of the new wing of the museum?

【解析】 選[A]。細(xì)節(jié)題。由對(duì)話中出現(xiàn)的 amazed, unusual, impressive等可知女士對(duì)美術(shù)館新側(cè)廳的修建費(fèi)用以及修建過(guò)程中的種種問(wèn)題大感吃驚，并且對(duì)里面的設(shè)計(jì)印象非常深刻，故答案為[A]。

九、明顯不符常理的選項(xiàng)往往不是答案

有的選項(xiàng)明顯不符合該對(duì)話情景下的常識(shí)或常理，那么該選項(xiàng)往往也不是答案。

【例10】(新06-12-25)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.

[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.

[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.

[D] Cooperation between pilots and air controllers is essential.

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

由選項(xiàng)中的should可推知，本題應(yīng)該是考查觀點(diǎn)或建議。選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容表明問(wèn)題應(yīng)該與確保安全飛行的因素有關(guān)。[B]是說(shuō)飛行員應(yīng)該會(huì)說(shuō)幾門外語(yǔ)，這不大合乎常理，因?yàn)轱w國(guó)內(nèi)行線的飛行員并不一定要會(huì)好幾門外語(yǔ)，故[B]為答案的可能性較小。

【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

…

M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.

W: Wow, that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.【答案解析】

25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?

【解析】選[A]。對(duì)話的最后女士總結(jié)了這次事故的教訓(xùn)：how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other，答案是對(duì)此的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。utmost意為“極大的”。

十、意思相近的選項(xiàng)往往都不是答案

如果有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思明顯相近，那么這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)往往都不是答案。

【例11】(新06-12-22)

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

[A] He was ready to make a concession.

[B] He was not prepared to go to court.

[C] He was not intimidated.

[D] He was a bit concerned.

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

由選項(xiàng)中的concession(讓步)，go to court, intimidate(威脅)， concerned(擔(dān)心)等詞可推測(cè)問(wèn)題應(yīng)該與男士對(duì)某事的反應(yīng)有關(guān)。[A]是說(shuō)他準(zhǔn)備讓步，[B]是說(shuō)他不準(zhǔn)備上法庭，二者都表示男士要“妥協(xié)退讓”的含義，故很可能都不是答案。

【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

…

M: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.

M: Yeah? For what?! …

W: You’ll be hearing from me.

M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court, Jane.

【答案解析】

22. What was the man’s reaction to the woman’s threat?

【解析】選[C]。女士說(shuō)讓男士等著收法庭的傳票(hear from me)，男士的回答“Yeah, yeah. See you in court(法庭見(jiàn))”表明他根本not intimidated(不怕威脅)。
