解題思路:盡量理解說(shuō)話人的意圖。一般來(lái)說(shuō)第二個(gè)人說(shuō)的話更重要也通常是答案點(diǎn)所在,尤其要注意第二個(gè)人說(shuō)的話中的but,so,because等邏輯關(guān)系詞。
選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn):通常選項(xiàng)主謂賓較為齊全,選項(xiàng)可能較長(zhǎng)。
經(jīng)典考題:
例1:2005年12月真題
5.[A]She admires Jean's straightforwardness.
[B]She thinks Dr.Brown deserves the praise.
[C]She will talk to Jean about what happened.
[D]She believes Jean was rude to Dr.Brown.
原文:M:Jean really lost her temper in Dr.Brown's class this morning.
W:Oh? Did she? But I think her frankness is really something to be appreciated.
Q:What does the woman mean?
答案:A
解析:男士說(shuō)“Jean今天早晨在Brown老師的課堂上發(fā)脾氣了”。女士說(shuō):“是嗎?但我認(rèn)為她的直率是該被欣賞的”。選項(xiàng)A“她贊賞Jean的直率坦誠(chéng)”與原文屬于同義替換。答案信息點(diǎn)在第二個(gè)人說(shuō)的話中but的后面。
例2:2006年6月真題
3.[A]He'd like some coffee.
[B]He'd like a piece of pie.
[C]He's just had dinner with his friends.
[D]He'd rather stay in the warm room.
原文:W:It's freezing cold!Let me make some coffee to warm us up.Do you want a piece of pie as well?
M:Coffee sounds great!But I'm going to have dinner with some friends in a while,so I'd better skip the pie.
Q:What does the man mean?
答案:A
解析:女士說(shuō):“天氣很冷,泡點(diǎn)咖啡暖身吧,想不想也吃塊派?”男士說(shuō):“咖啡聽起來(lái)不錯(cuò)!但是我過(guò)會(huì)兒要和幾個(gè)朋友吃晚飯,所以最好還是不吃派了。”答案信息點(diǎn)在第二個(gè)人說(shuō)的話coffee sounds great,以及but和so后面的內(nèi)容。另外skip the pie“跳過(guò)、略過(guò)派”,也就是“不吃派”,只喝咖啡。
