仍以2006年12月Conversation Two為例:
M: Hi, Miss Rowling, how old were you when you started to write? And what was your first book?
W: I wrote my first story when I was about six. It was about a small animal, a rabbit, I mean, and I’ve been writing ever since. (22題考點)
M: Why did you choose to be an author?
W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do this. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing. (23題考點)
M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?
W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really imagine a target audience when I’m writing. The ideas come first, so it really depends on the ideas that grasp me next. (24題考點)
M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?
W: I’ve no idea where the ideas came from. And I hope I’ll never find out. (25題考點) It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny wrinkle on the surface of my brain, which makes me think about the invisible train platform.
2. 重復率較高的詞或短語多成為考點
對話的主要內容理所當然會得到說話人的強調,而一個非常重要且明顯的強調方式就是重復,故重復的詞語往往能夠揭示對話的主題。
如問:What is the news coverage mainly about?
而原文中多次出現(xiàn)rebel forces, conflict, war等與"叛亂"相關的詞語,也可判斷本題答案為A) The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.
Try out
23. A) Marketing consultancy.
B) Professional accountancy.
C) Luxury hotel management.
D) Business conference organization.
24. A) Having a good knowledge of its customs.
B) Knowing some key people in tourism.
C) Having been to the country before.
D) Being able to speak Japanese.
25. A) It will bring her potential into full play.
B) It will involve lots of train travel.
C) It will enable her to improve her Chinese.
D) It will give her more chance to visit Japan.
聽力原文
M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts?
W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant responsible for marketing ten UK hotels. (23題考點) They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector, all of a very high standard.
M: Which markets were you responsible for?
W: For Europe and Japan.
M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?
W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage. (24題考點)
M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?
W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. Cruises have become very popular with the Japanese both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.
M: Really? I’m interested to hear more about that. But first tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train, the Orienting Express for example.
W: No, I haven’t. But I’ve traveled on the Glacier Express to Switzerland, and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I am very interested in this job. (25題考點)
