大学英语四级考试精讲班第13讲讲义 短对话应急高招1 短对话应急高招 前面几节我们讲过，“考什么”、“怎么考”、“怎么答”为我们系统分析了短对话的考点、命题规律以及答题技巧。掌握了以上内容，多听、多练，一切问题都会得到解决，但是还有一些考生在考场上会遇到这样的情况：一时紧张而某个题什么也没听到或者只听到只言片语，这时该怎么办？ 在这里我们支你几招，从分析选项的角度出发，掌握短对话题的弦外之音。“半猜半听甚至不听录音也能做对题”也许是你最想得到的招数，但也绝非天方夜谭，不信，你试试！ 一、第一招：不确定原则。 选项中如果含有唯一的不确定的词（如likely, may, probably等），一般为正确答案。请试做以下例题： （一）含有likely的选项，一般是正确答案。 例1 05-12-09（05年12月第9题，下同） [A] It can help solve complex problems. [B] It will most likely prove ineffective. [C] It is a new weapon against terrorists. [D] It will help detect all kinds of liars. 只猜不听： [解析]选[B]。分析四个选项，都是讨论某种东西的功能。只有[B]表示不确定含义（most likely），说明某种东西很可能证明无效；其他三个选项语气都确定，[D]甚至夸大其辞，因此猜测只有[B]正确。 听音验证： M: I hear a newly-invented drug can make people tell the truth, and it may prove useful in questioning terrorists. Isn’t it incredible? W: Simple solutions to complex problems rarely succeed. As far as I know, no such drugs are ever known to work. Q: What does the woman think of the new drug? 例2 03-1-1 [A] They are both anxious to try Italian food. [B] They are likely to have dinner together. [C] The man will treat the woman to dinner tonight. [D] The woman refused to have dinner with the man. 只猜不听： [解析]选[B]。分析四个选项，内容老师关于外出就餐的问题。只有[B]表示不确定的含义，are likely to“有可能”，由此猜测[B]为正确答案。实际上正好如此。 听音验证： M: Mary, would you join me for dinner tonight? W: You treated me last weekend. Now it’s my turn. Shall we try something Italian? Q: What do we learn from the conversation? (二)含有probably的选项，一般是正确答案。 例 03-9-9 [A] The exam was easier than the previous one. [B] Joe is sure that he will do better in the next exam. [C] Joe probably failed in the exam. [D] The oral part of the exam was easier than the written part. 只猜不听： [解析]选[C]。四个选项都和考试有关。只有选项[C]表示不确定含义，probably“大概，可能”，其他三个选项都表示肯定。因此猜测[C]是正确答案。实际上正好如此。 听音验证： W: Listen to me Joe. The exam is already a thing of the past. Just forget about it. M: That’s easier said than done. Q: What can we infer from the conversation? (三)含有may的选项，一般是正确答案。 例 00-6-9 [A] The weather is mild comp
