主要出題點如下:


1. 文章開頭。例如,新聞2中Question 3:What is Christine Marshall trying to do?(Christine Marshall想要做什么)的答案對應了文章開頭一句話:Christine Marshall, a 30 years old mom of one, posted a tearful video on social media Wednesday, begging for a safe return of her beloved pet dog.(Christine Marshall,一個30歲的母親,在社交媒體上發(fā)布了一則聲淚俱下的視頻,祈求她的寵物狗能夠平安歸來);再如,長對話1中Question 8:What are the speakers mainly talking about?(對話者們主要在談論什么?)對應了文章開頭第一句:So what time do you think we should have the party on Saturday?(所以,你覺得周六的聚會應該定在幾點呢?)?

2. 文章結尾。例如:長對話1中Question 11:What does the man suggest they ask Paul to do?(男人建議他們去讓Paul干什么?)對應了文章結尾倒數第二句:Maybe we should ask Paul to bring his computer and speakers, so that we can play some music.(我們應該讓Paul把他的電腦和揚聲器帶過來,這樣我們就能放音樂了。)再如,長對話2的Question 15:What do we learn about the man's friend from the conversation?(關于對話中男人的朋友我們可以了解到什么?)就直接對應了對話的最后一句Exactly, you have nothing to worry about. He's a lovely guy, and he'll be happy to help. (事實上,你什么也不用擔心。他是個很可愛的人,他會很樂意幫忙的。)

3. 提示詞。例如,短文1中,最高級表達詞組they are one of the most damaging invasive species (他們是最具破壞性,侵略性的物種之一),所對應的問題是Question 16:What do we learn about early pigs in North America?(關于北美早期的豬,我們可以得出什么?);又如,短文1中Q17:Why are wild pigs a threat to humans?(為什么野生豬對人類是個威脅?)的答案句:Wild pigs cause millions of dollars in crop damage yearly. They also harbor dozens of diseases that threaten both humans and farm animals(野生豬每年造成數百萬美元的農業(yè)損失,它們還滋生了幾十種威脅人類和農場動物的疾病。)中包含了提示詞threaten.

主要考點包括:


1. 主旨大意把握。例如,新聞2的Question 4: What did the news report say about Christine Marshall’s family?(關于Christine Marshall的家庭,新聞報道了什么?)
以及新聞3的Question 6:What does the news report say about Eggs & Bread café?(關于 Eggs & Bread café,新聞報道了什么?)
2. 細節(jié)定位。 比如,新聞3的Question 5: What does Guy Wilson say his café aims to do?(Guy Wilson說他的咖啡館主要目的是?);又如,長對話2的Question 13: What does the woman say about German cars?(關于德國車,女人說了什么);
3. 考察原因。例如,長對話Question 9:Why does the woman say it’s a good idea to serve foods that guests can help themselves too?(為什么女人說讓客人自助是個好主意?)又如短文3的Question 22:Why do a lot of people come to the village of Talkeetna every March?(為什么很多人每年3月都來到Talkeetna村)。
4. 問答原則。比如,對話1的Q11,男人問到:What shall we do about music? 女人接著回答:Maybe we should ask Paul to bring his computer and speakers, so that we can play some music. (我們應該讓Paul把他的電腦和揚聲器帶過來,這樣我們就能放音樂了。)又如,長對話2的Q13,男人問到:I see. So have you got your mind set on a specific model?(知道了,所以你心里有理想的特定款式么?),接著女人回答:No, not really. I've heard that German cars are very reliable.(還沒有,我聽說德國汽車的質量很令人放心)
5. 強調。比如短文2的Q21:What did the two Italian companies do in 2015? (這兩家意大利公司在2015年做了什么?)對應的答案在最后一句:In 2015, two Italian companies collaborated on the construction of a similar type of spacecraft, which was the first coffee machine designed for use in space.(2015年,兩家意大利公司合作建造了一個類航天器,這是第一臺為在太空使用而設計的咖啡機。)其中the first即為強調這臺咖啡機的歷史意義。
又如,長對話2的Q14:What does the man recommend the woman do? (男人建議女人做什么?),對應的答案句:I have a friend who sells second hand cars. In fact, I think his family owns the business. (我有個賣二手車的朋友,事實上,我覺得他家就是做這個生意的。)詞組in fact即為強調這位朋友可以幫助女人買到合適的車。
