【点评】
本次四级短对话无论从对话内容还是从题目本身来看,整体难度相对简单,和往年该部分相类似,话题覆盖日常生活(生活琐事、看电影、旅游等)、校园生活、商务工作(会议、求职等)。
例如,对话2、6、7均涉及商务工作话题;对话3、4、5、8均涉及日常生活话题;对话1则为校园生活话题。
主要考查事实细节和推理判断,其中,事实细节题比重相对较大,这对于广大考生来说是有利的。
主要难词生词有:
solarheater“太阳能热水器”,travelagency“旅行社”,makeendsmeet“收支相抵”,makereservationsfor“预订,预约”,whatI'minamoodfor“我想吃什么”等,理解好生难单词对整个听力内容的把握大有裨益,所以考生平时应多积累一些词汇和常用表达。
