聽力題中很多選項都有比較明顯的特點，或者使用某種專門的表達形式，如均為動詞原形或均為人物角色等;或者含有一些標志性的詞語，通過這些選項特點我們便可以推測問題可能考查的核心內容;另外，我們經(jīng)?？梢酝ㄟ^對選項的分析，排除一些比較明顯的干擾性，縮小聽音范圍，從而在聽音時更有針對性。
一、各題主題揭示對話主題
將各題所考查的主題內容結合在一起，往往可得出整篇對話的主題。如果某一題目是考查對話主題，其中的一個選項明顯能夠概括其他各題選項的內容，那么該選項很可能為答案。

【預覽選項】

【聽前預測】
預覽三道題各選項，由19題中的interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager, apply for a job等詞語可以推測對話與刊登招聘廣告或應聘工作有關。而20題中hardworking, ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea等詞語則表明對話中還涉及到對所招聘人員的要求。
二、選項均以動詞的某種形式開頭
含有這類選項的問題為考查“行為活動”類型。根據(jù)動詞的不同形式，問題考查的重點也可能不同。
選項均以動詞原形開頭，問題大多是關于建議某人做某事，有時也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。
選項均為動名詞，問題大多是關于正在進行的動作或者計劃打算。
選項為不定式，問題很可能是關于做某事的目的，或是計劃、或要求做某事。
【例2】(新06-12- -20)
【預覽選項】
[A] File a lawsuit against the man.
[B] Ask the man for compensation.
[C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.
[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.
【聽前預測】
選項均為動詞原形，故本題應該是考查某人的行為活動。四個選項均是針對男士的行為，故本題很可能是關于某人與男士發(fā)生爭吵或沖突時所采取的應對措施。

[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.
[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.
[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.
【聽前預測】
選項均為不定式短語，故本題應該是考查某人將要采取的行動。[ A ]、[ C ]是關于招聘工作(interview, advertise)，[ B ]、[ D]則是關于申請工作(fill, apply for)，故聽音時應留意該行為是關于招聘還是應聘。

M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?
W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.
M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.
…
19. What did Mr. Browning ask Brenda to do?
三、選項中含有表示意愿或建議的詞
如果選項中含有should, had better, would like等一類的詞語，問題很可能是考查“觀點或建議”。

【預覽選項】
[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.
[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.
[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.
