人物關(guān)系題
人物關(guān)系題除了了解相關(guān)人物身份的關(guān)鍵信息提示詞外,還需要通過特殊身份相互之間使用的特殊語言及語氣來進(jìn)行判斷其相互關(guān)系,并通過選項提前作好預(yù)測。下面是若干人物關(guān)系經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的語氣用詞:
?、?夫妻、戀人常用親昵溫柔的語氣:
dear darling
?、?店員與顧客常用的客氣的語氣:
sir madam
Can I…? What would you like to have?
③ 下屬對老板常用恭敬伏貼的語氣:
Mr. Mrs.
Ok Could you please…?
?、?親朋好友常用簡潔隨便的語氣:
Hi! What’s up?
Some water?
⑤ 父母、老師教訓(xùn)子女、學(xué)生常用嚴(yán)厲的語氣:
Don’t you remember…? What are you doing?
⑥ 醫(yī)生詢問病人的語氣:
You need take… What’s the trouble with you?
【例1】 2003.1
W: John. What are you doing on your computer? Don’t you remember your promise?
M: This is not a game. It’s only a crossword puzzle that helps increase my vocabulary.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
A) Colleagues B) Husband and wife
C) Employer and employee D) Mother and son
【解析】 播音之前考生需對選項(colleagues、husband and wife、employer and employee、mother and son)提前作好預(yù)測原文內(nèi)容的信息詞匯準(zhǔn)備。這題需掌握對話雙方的特殊身份語言及口氣:原文中“擴大我的詞匯量”明顯提示說話者是學(xué)生,根據(jù)女士的話及含有教訓(xùn)的口氣“不記得你作的保證?”可推知其身份為家長,所以兩者的關(guān)系應(yīng)為母子。選擇D。
【例2】 2001.6
W: I heard you got full marks in the maths exam. Congratulations!
M: Thanks! I’m sure you also did a good job.
Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
A) A math teacher and his colleague B) A teacher and his student
C) A student and his classmate D) A librarian and a student
【解析】 通過選項可以斷定原文內(nèi)容是發(fā)生在學(xué)校里,留意對話雙方的口氣線索尤為重要。女士說她聽說男士在數(shù)學(xué)考試中得了滿分,男士說“you also did a good job.”指的是女士考得也不錯,抓住關(guān)鍵提示詞“also”,便可判斷其關(guān)系是同學(xué)。答案為C。
