英語四六級聽力長對話五大“高分必備”
主題句常常在對話的開頭，對整篇對話的大意起到概括和提示的作用，實際上是說話人所談論的中心話題；長對話的第一題很可能針對對話的開頭提問。
結尾處往往涉及到建議、決定或某種行爲等，它對整個對話起到一個總結的作用。長對話的最後一題經常是針對對話的結尾設題，故留意結尾回合中的關鍵動詞就成了解題的關鍵。
【例1】(07年6月 19題)
[A] To go sightseeing.
[B] To have meetings.
[C] To promote a new champagne.
[D] To join in a training program.
【原文重現】
M: Hi, Ann, welcome back. How’s your trip to the states?
W: Very busy, [19]I had a lot of meetings. ...
19. Why did the woman go to New York?
【答案解析】
選[B]。細節題。對話一開始，男士就問女士去美國的旅行怎麼樣，女士回答說很忙，她had a lot of meetings(要參加很多會議)，由此可知女士去紐約是去參加會議。
二、提問常出（聽見什麼選什麼）
長對話中，對話雙方往往出現多個一問一答，而這恰好成爲了長對話的一個出題重點，文章結束後的問題往往就是對話原文中提問的原文復現或是同義轉述，因此聽清對話中緊接問題之後的答語基本可做出七成以上的題，如果不是爲了追求滿分，考場上完全可以遵循"聽見什麼選什麼，"尤其是在題多量大時間短的情況下。
【例2】(07年6月 25題)
[A] Data collection.
[B] Training consultancy.
[C] Corporate management.
[D] Information processing.
【原文重現】
W: What’s your line of business, Mr. Johnson?
M: We are a training consultancy.
25. What is the man’s line of business?
【答案解析】
選[B]。細節題。女士的提問即爲本題的提問，答案就在男士接下來的回答中。女士問男士What’s your line of business(做哪一行)，男士回答說We are a training consultancy(我們是培訓諮詢公司),由此可知答案爲[B]。
三、重讀常出
對話的核心內容理應會得到說話人的強調，最爲有效的強調方式莫過於重複，而且重複的詞語往往能夠揭示對話的主題。因此對那些對話雙方多次提到的詞語或內容應進行重點記憶。
【例3】(四六級考試委員會樣卷-22題)
[A]The Latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.
[B]The fall of Karnak’s capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.
[C]The epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.
[D]The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak.
【原文重現】
W: We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country of Karnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan ...
M: ..., rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18-month conflict here in this country.
M:..., rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in, ...
M: ... this war-torn country ..., but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
is the news coverage mainly about?
【答案解析】
選[A]。主旨題。主旨題的答案往往在開頭或結尾，而本題的答案即出自開頭的第一句。選項中的latest(最新的)對應該句中的live up-to-date(最新直播)，armed rebellion(武裝叛亂)對應unrest(動亂)。另外，對話的主題往往會得到多次重複，因此根據後面多次出現的rebel forces, conflict, war等與"叛亂"相關的詞語，也可判斷本題答案爲[A]。 四、同義復現必出
正確選項往往與原文相似，或是原文的同義表達，因此應注意提取選項中的關鍵點，在聽音時留意其是否與原文同意並加以記錄。
【例4】(四六級考試委員會樣題-25題)
[A] Inadequate medical care.
[B] Continuing social unrest.
[C] Lack of food, water and shelter.
[D] Rapid spreading of the epidemic
【原文重現】
W: ... what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country.
25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?
【答案解析】
選[C]。細節題。四個選項中只有[C]項內容在對話中出現，其他三項均未涉及到，故只要抓住對話中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分內容，即可判斷答案爲[C]。starvation意爲"飢餓"。
五、留意數字、人名、地名、時間、年代等相關信息
遇到數字、人名、地名、時間、年代時要對相關信息做簡要記錄，尤其是選項中出現類似的概念時，在聽音時更應重點留意。
【例5】(四六級考試委員會樣題-24題)
[A] Late in the morning.
[B] Early in the afternoon.
[C] Sometime before dawn.
[D] Shortly after sunrise.
【原文重現】
M: ... Rebel forces are closing in, and it’s feared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?
【答案解析】
選[C]。細節題。根據原文中’s feared that they will re daybreak.可知，當時報道的時間應該是在before daybreak(黎明破曉前)。dawn相當於daybreak。
