態(tài)度與反應(yīng)題主要涉及的是對(duì)話中男女雙方對(duì)某人某事的看法。主要測(cè)試考生分析判斷能力。四個(gè)選擇項(xiàng)都有比較明顯的特點(diǎn),即選擇項(xiàng)中往往出現(xiàn)表示人的情感或態(tài)度的動(dòng)詞或形容詞等。如:be afraid,think,believe,feel,like等。另外,在選擇項(xiàng)中常會(huì)出現(xiàn)表明人的喜、怒、哀、樂等情感的形容詞,如:excited,bored等。有時(shí)也會(huì)出現(xiàn)描述事物性質(zhì)的詞,如:big,small,cheap等。
常見的提問方式有:
What does the man/woman think of...?
What's their opinion of...?
How did the man/woman feel about...?
How did the man/woman feel?
值得一提的是,聽力測(cè)試中還有一種特殊現(xiàn)象。對(duì)話中的另一方(第二個(gè)說話的人)并不直接說出自己的看法,而是用also,too,neither,either,so,the same來表明自己的態(tài)度。在這種情況下,就必須聽清第一個(gè)人的講話并準(zhǔn)確理解其態(tài)度,只有這樣才能作出正確選擇。
