[A] The woman did not feel any danger growing up in the Bronx.?
[B] The man thinks it was quite safe living in the Bronx district.?
[C] The woman started working at an early age to support her family.?
[D]The man doesn't think it safe to send an 8-year-old to buy things.?

M: What was it like growing up in New York's Bronx District? Was it safe?
W: To me, it was. It was all I knew. My mom would send me to the shop and I'd go and buy things when I was about 8 years old.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【解析】選項(xiàng)表明對(duì)話與在Bronx區(qū)成長(zhǎng)或生活的安全狀況有關(guān)。由選項(xiàng)中feel, think等詞可推測(cè)問(wèn)題與某人的看法或感受有關(guān)。［C］是說(shuō)女士很小就開(kāi)始工作養(yǎng)家，和主題關(guān)系不大，與其他選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容明顯不同，　故可初步排除。選項(xiàng)要點(diǎn)為：woman－no danger；man－safe/ not safe。故聽(tīng)音時(shí)重點(diǎn)應(yīng)留意男士或女士是覺(jué)得Bronx區(qū)是“安全”還是“不安全”。 滬江四六級(jí) http://cet.hjenglish.com

[A] The man has never seen the woman before.?
[B]The two speakers work for the same company.?
[C]The two speakers work on the same floor.?
[D]The woman is interested in market research.

M: Nice weather, isn't it? Oh, I've seen you around the office, but I don't think we've met, I am Henry Smith, I work in the Market Research Section.
W: Nice to meet you, Henry. I am Helen Grant, I am in the Advertising Section on the ninth floor.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

【解析】選項(xiàng)表明對(duì)話雙方很可能是在同一家公司或同一個(gè)樓層上班，但彼此可能不太相熟。［D］項(xiàng)是說(shuō)女士對(duì)市場(chǎng)研究感興趣，沒(méi)有提到男士的情況，與其他三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容明顯不同，故可初步排除。因此聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)主要留意以下要點(diǎn)：對(duì)話雙方是在“同一公司”上班（［B］）還是在“同一樓層”上班（［C］）；男士以前是否見(jiàn)過(guò)女士（［A］）。注意“Market Research Section”與“Advertising Section”應(yīng)該屬于同一公司的兩個(gè)不同部門(mén)，由此可判斷男士和女士在同一公司上班。 滬江四六級(jí) http://cet.hjenglish.com


18.
[A]The woman can't tolerate any noise.?
[B] The man is looking for an apartment.?
[C] The man has missed his appointment.
[D] The woman is going to take a train trip.

M: Mam, I hear you have an apartment for rent, can I take a look at it?
W: Sure, you're welcome any time by appointment, but I have to tell you the building is close to a railway with the noise. You might as well save the trip.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【解析】選項(xiàng)中noise, look for an apartment和appointment表明對(duì)話很可能與找公寓或看房子有關(guān)。［D］與其他三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容幾乎沒(méi)有關(guān)聯(lián)，故可初步排除。因此聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)重點(diǎn)留意以下要點(diǎn)：woman－can’t tolerate noise；man－looking for apartment, miss appointment。［A］表示找公寓的是女士，［B］則表示找工作的是男士，二者中很有可能有一個(gè)為答案，因此聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)重點(diǎn)辨別找公寓的是“男士”還是“女士”。

預(yù)覽三道題各選項(xiàng)，由21題可推測(cè)對(duì)話中男士（Mr. Saunders）很可能是在申請(qǐng)女士公司的職位。故對(duì)話很可能是圍繞申請(qǐng)工作這一話題而展開(kāi)。

19. What's the purpose of Mr. Thunder's visit?
【解析】選項(xiàng)均為不定式表明本題很可能是關(guān)于某事的目的。而選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容都是關(guān)于男士與女士之間的活動(dòng)，可推測(cè)本題很可能是關(guān)于男士拜訪女士的目的。由21題分析可知，對(duì)話是圍繞男士申請(qǐng)工作這一話題展開(kāi)，故本題答案很可能為[B]“to be interviewed.

20. What is Mr. Thunder's current job?
【解析】選項(xiàng)表明本題很可能是考查的是男士目前的工作。[B]、[C]、[D]均表示他在為其他公司工作，[A]則是說(shuō)男士自己經(jīng)營(yíng)一家小的貿(mào)易公司，與“男士申請(qǐng)女士公司的工作”這一主題不符，也與其他三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容明顯不同，故可初步排除。而從19題選項(xiàng)中的business report和stock market可推測(cè)男士的工作比較可能為[C]（lead a team fo brokers）。而[B]中的insurance （保險(xiǎn)）和[D]中的public relations（公共關(guān)系）在其他各題選項(xiàng)中均找不到任何線索。另外聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)注意辨別男士是在“大公司”還是在“小公司”工作，通過(guò)這一點(diǎn)便可排除兩個(gè)干擾選項(xiàng)，之后確定答案也就比較容易了。 滬江四六級(jí) http://cet.hjenglish.com
broker意為“保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)濟(jì)人”。

21. What can we conclude from the conversation?
【解析】選項(xiàng)[A]、[D]是女士對(duì)男士的看法，選項(xiàng)[C]則是男士對(duì)工作條件的看法，故本題很可能與面試的結(jié)果有關(guān)。[B]是說(shuō)男士申請(qǐng)的這份工作所需承擔(dān)的責(zé)任，與面試無(wú)關(guān)，與其他三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容明顯不同，故可初步排除。 [A]表示女士對(duì)男士不太滿意， [D]則表示女士對(duì)男士很滿意，二者意思相反，故很可能有一個(gè)為答案。聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)重點(diǎn)留意女士的態(tài)度如何。
