從考試的角度來說，六級聽力小對話中存在著大量的美式思維跟規(guī)律，在考生實力不足以把握每一個信息點的情況下，適當(dāng)?shù)倪\用美式思維和一些規(guī)律，可以起到事半功倍的作用，但是思路必須緊跟主題，即要從學(xué)生的角度出發(fā)多想想會出現(xiàn)什么樣的情況，尤其是沿著國外學(xué)生的思維去想想。才能得到解題的正確思路。
1. 老師要求嚴(yán)格
在聽力小對話的學(xué)校上課場景里面經(jīng)常會涉及到對于老師的對話，無外乎對于上課的評價，對于講座的評價，對老師要求的評價這么幾種。而在聽力里面出現(xiàn)的老師總是要求很嚴(yán)格的，不僅僅對學(xué)生，對自己也是要求嚴(yán)格，主要體現(xiàn)在：對學(xué)生要求嚴(yán)格，上課準(zhǔn)時，講座很精彩等，但有時候也會有學(xué)生說課程很難，講座聽不懂等情況。
典型題目
Test 18 no 9
M: Erh-erh… Looks like I'm going to be a little late for class. I hope Pro. Clark doesn't start on time today.
W: Are you kidding? You can set your watch by the time he starts his class.
Q: What can be inferred about Pro. Clark?
A) He wants his students to be on time for class. B) He doesn't allow his students to tell jokes in class.
C) He is always punctual for his class. D) He rarely notices which students are late.
解析：這是一個典型的老師要求嚴(yán)場景，在對話中男生說：可能我得遲到一會兒了，我希望Clark教授今天沒有準(zhǔn)點開課。女生回答：開玩笑吧，他每次開始上課你都可以對你的表。因此答案選＜C＞
2. 作業(yè)又難又做不完
毫不夸張的說，作業(yè)是每一個學(xué)生的噩夢所在，不論對于中國學(xué)生還是國外學(xué)生，因此聽力小對話中往往出現(xiàn)大量學(xué)生對于作業(yè)的抱怨，而無一例外的總是抱怨作業(yè)多，做不完；作業(yè)難，不會做；做作業(yè)的時候問題很多，有時候需要兩人達(dá)成一致等。需要了解的是作業(yè)包括各種各樣的assignment 和 homework 以及reading list。
典型題目
Test 20 no 8
M: Mr. Smith, our history professor, announced we would be doing two papers and three exams this semester. I wonder how I'm going to pull through when two other courses have similar requirements.
W: Well, can't you drop one course and pick it up next semester?
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
A) Do the assignments towards the end of the semester. B) Quit the history course and choose another one instead. C) Drop one course and do it next semester. D) Take courses with a lighter workload. 解析：典型的作業(yè)繁重規(guī)律，對話中男生抱怨道我們的歷史老師Smith宣稱這個學(xué)期我們要搞定兩份論文三次考試。可是別的課程也有類似的要求，我都不知道我該怎么去應(yīng)付了。女生建議道那你為什么不退一門課呢？下學(xué)期再選也不遲啊。因此答案選《C》。除了在此需要把握pick up的第五種意思：學(xué)習(xí)之外，還有兩個考點，分別為短語pull through 以及小詞drop，對它們的解析請參考相應(yīng)詞條。同時，此題也暗含有女生責(zé)怪男生不應(yīng)該選課太多的語氣。可根據(jù)規(guī)律迅速作出。
3、考試總是難
就像作業(yè)一樣，考試也是學(xué)生往往無奈的話題之一，學(xué)生會喜歡考試嗎？毫無疑問不喜歡，考試會容易嗎？問問學(xué)生自己就知道了，總是覺得考試很棘手。通過都往往很困難，更別提得高分了。
典型題目：
Test 10 no 3
W: How did you do on the maths exam, John?
M: I barely made it. It was just a passing score but better than I had expected. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A) John didn't pass, although he had tried his best.
B) John did better than he thought he was able to.
C) John got an excellent score, which was unexpected.

4、訂房訂票總是定不上
在聽力的小對話中總是有一些不盡如人意的情況發(fā)生，只要留心就會發(fā)現(xiàn)處處體現(xiàn)出來“sorry”（遺憾）的情形。比如訂房訂票無論在四級還是在六級里面總是買不到，定不上。
典型題目：
Test 2 no 8

從任何一個學(xué)生的角度去考慮這都是一個非常正常的思維，在聽力小對話里面出現(xiàn)的比賽總會受到男生極大的關(guān)注。如果比賽和其他活動（比如concert）沖突，男生一定會選擇看比賽，如果比賽沒有看成，則有可能是生病了。
典型題目：
Test 1 no 7
W: Did you watch the game last night?
M: I wouldn't have missed it for anything!

典型題目：

7、男生一般都比較落后
一般來說在聽力小對話里面，男生不是很喜愛學(xué)習(xí)，男生的學(xué)習(xí)成績總是不好的，而且往往沒有女生的好。而且無論是在學(xué)習(xí)中還是生活中總是需要女生多方面多角度多渠道的鼓勵，關(guān)心和幫助，這也是一個很有意思的情況。同時往往在別的方面也表現(xiàn)不佳，比如總是遲到，睡過頭等。出現(xiàn)過的表達(dá)有：be late for the class， oversleep ，miss the class 。有興趣的同學(xué)可以自己總結(jié)。
