NigelLingeiseditorofBusinessTravelWeekly.Nigel,thanksforbeingontheshow.Now,whatkindofproblemsdoairlinepassengersfacenowadays?
M:
Well,mostoftheproblemsarecausedbytheheavyvolumeoftraffic.Youknow,allairportshavealimittothenumberoftake-offsandlandingstheycanhandle.
【分析】选[B]。
录音一开始女士在介绍完男士后,就问男士“乘飞机的旅客如今都面临着什么样的问题”,男士回答说“大多数问题是由交通流量大造成的”。
接着进一步阐释说“所有的机场对飞机的起飞和降落次数设限”。
这说明机场有限的吞吐量给旅客带来了问题,故[B]为答案。
二、会话结尾
会话结尾往往会涉及会话双方的态度、建议或决定等总结性的内容,而且经常能够进一步体现会话的主题及场景,也是出题者设题时考虑的重点。
【例2】
(05-5)
5.TheonlypopularbeliefthatProfessorMcKayisunabletoprovideevidenceagainstis
[A]old-agesickness.
[B]loosefamilyties.
[C]poormentalabilities.
[D]difficultiesinmaths.
Whataboutthegroupwhostudiedmathematics?
Well,that’sadifferentstory.Thereseemstobenodoubtthatpeoplefindmathsmoredifficultastheygrowolder.Though,whythisisso,Icannotsay.
【分析】选[D]。
教授做了两组实验,一组学习英语,一组学习数学,在会话结尾当主持人问到数学组的情况时,教授回答随着年龄增加,人们发现数学学起来越来越困难,虽然她也不知道为何如此,因此答案为[D]。
三、会话中的逻辑关系处
会话中经常会涉及到表示并列、转折、因果等逻辑关系的短语或句式,因果、转折等逻辑关系处,这些地方也很受出题人的青睐。
【例3】
(08-1)
1.Marydoesn'
tseemtofavourtheideaofanewairportbecause
[A]theexistingairportsaretobewasted.
[B]morepeoplewillbeencouragedtotravel.
[C]moreoilwillbeconsumed.
[D]moreairplaneswillbepurchased.
Well,myrealobjectiontothisideaofanewairportis,isthewholethingissowasteful.Imean,weknowwe’recurrentlyinfuelcrisis,weknowthatwe’vegottoconserveoilandfuelandalltherestofit.Andyetherethegovernmentseemsquitedeliberatelytobeencouragingpeopleto,…totravel,touse,andthesejetsuseaheckofalotofoil—Imean,ittakesatonofoil,atonofpetrolbeforeoneofthesebigjetseventakesoff.
【分析】选[C]。
女士在提到修建新机场时明确指出自己的观点thewholethingissowasteful,接着以Imean解释自己有如此看法的原因,目前正面临fuelcrisis,我们应该conserveoilandfuel,而飞机的使用会消耗大量原油,这正是Mary反对修建机场的原因,故答案为[C]。
四、会话中举例或列举处
会话中常出现举列或列举的地方也常常是设题的重点,尤其是涉及列举的地方往往是Except,Incorrect题型的设题热点,因此听音时听到suchas,two,three,thefirst,thesecond,forexample等信息词时,应多加留意。
【例4】
(05-3)
3.AccordingtoProfessorMcKay'
sreport,
[A]familyloveisgraduallydisappearing.
[B]itishardtocommentonfamilyfeeling.
[C]morechildrenareindifferenttotheirparents.
[D]familyloveremainsasstrongasever.
Doyoufindthatyoungpeoplethesedaysarenotasconcernedabouttheirparentsastheirparentswereabouttheirs?
Wehavefoundnothingthatsuggeststhatfamilyfeelingiseitherdyingordead.Theredonotappeartobelargenumbersofyoungpeoplewhoaretrying,forexample,tohavetheirdearoldmotherlockedupinamentalhospital.
当主持人问到当今年轻人是否不像父母关心他们那样去关心父母,教授说没有证据表明家庭感情正在消失或已经不复存在,并以forexample举例说明也没有出现把老母亲锁在精神病院的情况,故答案为[D]。
五、会话中的比较对比处
会话中比较对比处涉及到的是两事物或多事物,客观上能够引起考生的思维混乱,所以容易成为考试的设题点。
【例5】
(10-4)
4.DuringtheinterviewDrJohnsonindicatesthat
[A]greaterracialdiversityexistsamongyoungerpopulations.
[B]botholderandyoungerpopulationsareraciallydiverse.
[C]agediversitycouldleadtopensionproblems.
[D]olderpopulationsaremoreraciallydiverse.
MostofthepopulationshavingthegreatestracialdiversityareyoungeronaveragethanthepopulationswithgreaterCaucasianrepresentation.
【分析】[A]、[B]、[D]三项均说的是youngerpopulations和olderpopulations中,民族差异的比较,三项互相矛盾并涉及所有可能的情况,故其中之一为答案,[C]项可直接排除。
根据“大多数有着最大民族差异性的人群要比有着较大的白人比例的人群年轻”可以反向推出,年轻的人群中民族差异现象更为明显,故[A]为答案。
六、会话中数字信息处
会话中出现年代、时间、价格等数字信息的地方,也经常被作为设题的一个重点,但要注意,一般都是考查与数字相关的其他细节信息,而单纯考查数字的题目并不常见。
【例6】
(10-3)
3.AccordingtoDrJohnson,whichplacewillwitnessaradicalchangeinitsracialmakeupby2025?
[A]Maine.
[B]Selinsgrove.
[C]Philadelphia.
[D]California.

【分析】录音中提到加利福尼亚州在1990-2000年间,白人人口比例从57%降到48%,预计到2025年会降至34%,而缅因州的白人人口比例在整个90年代保持在98%,到2025年会达到97%,几乎未发生变化。
因此加利福尼亚州在2025年之前人种变化是最大的,答案选[D]。
