What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff that I bought from the previous tenant (房客). Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.W: I see. Well there are several alternatives. First of all, you could put up notices （启事）around the university about the books– you know on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second and the third year students will see them.

Will the lessons be for yourself or a child?W: They will be for myself. My son is only three and I’d like him to take piano lessons next year.M: Fine. Have you had any musical experience before?W: Well, I studied the piano for about three months but that was six years ago.M: That’s good. So we don’t have to start right from the beginning again.W: When can I take lessons and how much do they cost?M: Well, that depends on you. We have a small group that meets on M onday and W ednesday evenings for two hours, that costs $5an hour. Then on T uesdays and Th ursdays I give private lessons that cost $9 an hour. For children, I charge an extra dollar an hour.W: I’m afraid I can’t make it on Mondays but I can come on Wednesdays.M: When are you going to start?W: Is this Wednesday evening all right?M: Sure.13. Who suggested the woman call the man?14. According to the dialogue, why has the woman contacted the man?15. How much does a children’s class cost per hour on Thursday?Passage 1For the last hundred years the climate has been growing much warmer. This has had a number of different effects. Since thebeginning of the 20th century, glaciers (冰河) have been melting very rapidly. Secondly, rising temperatures have been causing the snowline to retreat on mountains all over the world.As a result of this, vegetation(植物) has also been changing. In Canada, the agricultural crop line has shifted 50 to 100 miles northward. In the same way some cool climate trees like birches (桦树) and spruce(针纵树)dying over large areas of Eastern Canada.The distribution(分布) of wildlife (野生动物) has also been affected, with many European animals moving northward into Scandinavia. Since 1918, 25 new species of birds have moved their nests to the north.Finally, the sea has been rising at a rapidly increasing rate largely due, as was mentioned above, to the melting of glaciers. In the last 18 years it has risen by about 6 inches, which is about four times the average rate of rise over the last 9000 years.16. How was the climate changed recent years?17. Which of the following is not the effect of climate changing?18. What can we learn from the moving of birds?Passage 2In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states, they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school (中学), another name for second school is high school.Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools (公办小学和公办中学). The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children’s education be cause tax money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private school, his parents pay the school for the child’s education. Today about half of the high school graduates (毕业生) go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the government. A student at a state university(州立大学) does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are very expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student’s family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses (开支).19. How old are most American students when they graduate from secondary school?20. Why don’t the parents have to pay the public schools for their children?21. What students don’t have to pay every much at a State University?Passage 3In the eyes of many people, city life is attractive with all its advantages and convenience, yet they don’t see the other side of the picture.First, with the expansion of the city, housing (住房) has become a serious problem for city people. Then, there is the problem of pollution: harmful gases from vehicles (车辆) and poisonous water from factories pollute our surroundings; noise continually disturbs your peace and rest (平静) and drives you mad. Thirdly, modern city life puts a high pressure upon people; you have to hurry to bump into(跌跌撞撞前行) the flood of people, bicycles, cars, buses…; all day long you are under great stress. Fourthly, big cities also cause some social problems, of which the high crime rate is the most serious one. People are justifiably(情有可原地) in fear of becoming victims (受害者) of burglary(盗窃), robbery, murder and other crimes at any time. The city should find some way or other to cope with all these problems.1-8 A D B D A A C A 9-12 C D D A13-15 B C D16-18 B C A19-21 C C C22-25 C D D A。

The 55-year-old woman’s neighbors blame her for making the area’s rat problem worse. Newly installed cameras captured several rats active in the middle of the day. Neighbors say that it’s even worse during the night. The woman and her parents, who owned the home, told reporters that she’s being charged for feeding birds.“W ho would have known just loving animals gets you that much trouble,” she said.It is prohibited to feed any wild animals, including birds, in Rhode Island city. Nevertheless, while the woman’s intention was to feed birds, it is clear that rats were also benefiting.(2) Anthony Moretti, director of the city administration, said he saw more than 20 rats near the woman’s home. He said it will take months to get the problem under control.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q1. What do we learn from the report about the 55-year-old woman? 答案: D)Q2. What did the director of the city administration say at the end of the news report? 答案: A)News Report TwoTo prepare for eventually sending astronauts to Mars, NASA began taking applications Friday for four people to live for a year in Mars Dune Alpha. That’s a 1,700-square-foot Martian habitat inside a building in Houston.(3) The paid volunteers will work in an environment similar to Mars. They will have limited communications with family, restricted food and resources.NASA is planning three experiments with the first one starting in the fall next year. (4) Food will all be ready-to-eat space food. Some plants will be grown, but not potatoes like in the movie “The Martian”.“We want to understand how humans perform in them,” said lead scientists Grace Douglas. “We are looking at Mars realistic situations.”The application process opened Friday and they’re not seeking just anybody. The requirements are strict, including a master’s degree in a science, engineering or math field or pilot experience. Only American citizens or permanent U.S. residents are acceptable. Applicants must be between 30 and 55 and in good physical health.Attitude is key, said former Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. He said the participants need to be super competent, resourceful, and not relying on other people to feel comfortable.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q3. What does NASA require the paid volunteers to do? 答案: B)Q4. What will the participants in the project eat? 答案: A)News Report Three(5) A Japanese mayor apologized Thursday for biting the Olympic gold medal of a softball player. Nagoya mayor Takashi Kawamura had praised athlete Miu Goto during a public media event. He asked her to put the medal around his neck. Kawamura then bit into it.Biting a medal in front of journalists and photographers has become a common pose for Olympic medalists. However, it is only for the winners themselves, not others.“I’m really sorry that I hurt the treasure of the gold medalist,” Kawamura told reporters Thursday. (6) The mayor said the medal was undamaged, though he offered to pay for the cost of a new one. Goto, however, has accepted the International Olympic Committee’s offer of a replacement, according to Japanese media reports.The scene broadcast on television prompted thousands of complaints to city hall. (7) Some Olympians said they treat their medals as treasures and that it was disrespectful and unacceptable for Kawamura to bite one.“I would cry if that happened to me,” s aid another athlete,Naohisa Takato. “I handle my own gold medal so gently that I would not scratch it.”Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5. What does the news report say about the Japanese mayor Takashi Kawamura? 答案: C)Q6. What did Mayor Takashi Kawamura offer to do? 答案: D)Q7. What did some Olympians say they would do with their medals? 答案: C)Section BConversation OneM: (8-1) What’s that orange thing on your computer screen?W: It’s something I bought yesterday. (8-2) It’s a plastic sheet that blocks blue light. I have one that I use to cover my phone screen too.M: What do you mean by blue light?W: (9) Blue light includes natural light, but it also includes light that isn’t natural. For example, from computers, phones, televisions, and other electronic devices.M: So, blue light is harmful and that’s why you want to block it?W: It isn’t that simple. Blue light isn’t necessarily bad for us. In fact, we need blue light during the day to be healthy, but too much blue light, especially from electronic devices, can harm our health by weakening our vision and making it harder for us to fall asleep. And poor sleep can cause all sorts of health problems.M:I’m not so sure that sleep is nearly as important as people always say it is. (10) I haven’t slept enough in months because I have too much work to do and I feel fine, and it’s the same for most of my friends. Poor sleep might be a problem for old people, but surely young people can handle late nights. W: Well, (11) the research I’ve read shows that sleep is probably even more important than we thought, and that not having enough sleep can contribute to serious health problems like obesity and heart disease. And all the artificial blue light from electronic devices means we have to try harder to sleep well.M: Maybe you’re right. I’m on my computer very late most nights, and that’s probably why I don’t sleep enough.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q8. What did the woman do to her computer? 答案: A)Q9. What does the woman say about blue light? 答案: B)Q10. Why does the man say he hasn’t slept enough for months? 答案: D)Q11. What has the woman learned from the research she has read? 答案: B)Conversation TwoW: As a kid did you know what job you wanted to do when you grew up?M: No, I didn’t. (12-1) And I got sick every time adults asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. W:(12-2) It’s the same with me. And I’m tired of people asking that question of my 10-year-old daughter. (13) My daughter’s stock answers are basketball player, pop singer, mechanical engineer. Adults love that last one as it’s the perfect mix of the sensible and the ambitious. When she was much younger, my daughter used to say she wanted to be queen of the clouds, which I loved. (14) That’s the kind of goal setting I like to see in children, springing from their boundless imaginations.M: Yes, we grown-ups can be tedious and limiting in our need for reality. And we teach a very gloomy image of adulthood that whatever our children’s future holds, it must be seen within the context of a job.W: How utterly overwhelming and dull!M: When people ask my son what he wants to be when he grows up, I have to swallow the urge to say, “Hey, back off my kid’s dreams.”W: We can’t dismiss the idea that teenagers have to plan to do something after they finish school, and parents are entitled to hope it’s more than simply spending 10 hours a day playing computer games. M: But asking, “What do you want to be?” i sn’t going to lead a child to a fulfilled life, rather, leads to false expectations and a high chance of disappointment.W: Exactly. (15) We should be helping our kids understand who they are, even if that means letting go of who we think they should be.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q12. What question were both speakers fed up with when they were kids? 答案: A)Q13. What occupation do adults see as both sensible and ambitious according to the woman? 答案: C) Q14. What kind of goal setting does the woman like to see in children? 答案: C)Q15. What does the woman suggest adults should do? 答案: B)Section CPassage OneGreater Internet access correlates directly with improved healthcare, education and economic development. People living in rural areas, however, lag behind in online use, which limits their access to government services, banking, and job opportunities. Nowhere is this challenge clearer than in Africa. Most Africans live in rural areas that are tough to wire for internet access. (16) Now, some phone companies are trying to introduce Internet-ready phones into African markets. Certain companies have started selling simple smartphones for only $20. Previously, the lowest price had been around $40, well out of reach for many people. These devices are powered by software from the giant electronics company, KaiOS Technologies Limited. (17) Most companies are trying to make phones ever more powerful and capable, but KaiOS went the other way. It made every effort to keep the essential capabilities of smartphones, but strip out costs and preserve battery life for people who likely have inadequate access to electricity. The KaiOS devices offer an alternative to the more expensive models that remain out of reach to many Africans and contribute to the digital divide. (18) The body of KaiOS phones is as basic as it gets. Instead of a touchscreen, they’re controlled with an old-school keypad. They’re designed for 3G networks because 4G coverage doesn’t reach two thirds of Africa’s customers. In total, KaiOS phones are made from about $15 worth of parts, while Apple’s top of the line iPhone has $390 worth of stuff.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q16. What are a number of phone companies trying to do in Africa? 答案: D)Q17. How do KaiOS smartphones differ from smartphones of most other companies? 答案: A)Q18. What are KaiOS smartphones equipped with? 答案: B)Passage Two(19) For years, using recycled plastic to make plastic products was cheap. By contrast, fossil fuel plastic was more expensive. Thus, the sustainable option was an economic option too. But now it is cheaper for major manufacturers to use new plastic.According to one recent business report, recycled plastic now costs an extra $72 a tonne compared with newly made plastic. This may be because of consumer demands. They are pushing for more recycled plastics in new products. (20) Meanwhile, new plastic is becoming cheaper. This is because of a boom in petroleum chemical production from the U.S.The price increase of recycled plastic could cost sustainable manufacturers an extra $250m a year. Smaller manufacturers may also be forced to use new plastic to reduce costs. Makers of clear plastic bottles may also opt for new fossil-fuel based plastic to save money. Plastic packaging makers are being pressured to use more recycled plastic. This is done in hopes of reducing the enormous amount of plastic pollution in the oceans.(21) The UK government plans to tax companies which don’t use at least 30% recycled plastic in thei r products. Additionally, the government is planning to increase the quantity of recycled plastic in the market. This could mean incentives for new recycling plants. Additionally, recycling facilities may be improved at a local council level and recycled plastic could be imported. This would help increase the amount of recycled plastic in circulation.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q19. What is said about using recycled plastic to make plastic products in the past? 答案: C)Q20. What has led to a more competitive price for new plastic? 答案: D)Q21. What does the UK government plan to do about plastic? 答案: D)Passage Three(22) At the Dreamery, a business in Manhattan, naps are for sale. A 45-minute session in a darkened enclosure with peace and quiet costs $25. To be clear, this institution is no hotel. This is a nap joint. It sells the idea of the nap as much as the nap itself.Is a nap worth $25? The answer is obviously yes.(23) Here, at this point in the argument, it’s traditional for me to bring up all the studies that show the benefits of napping. But do you really need experts to tell you that? Just look at the world around you at 2:30 in the afternoon.I’ve been working from home for more than 10 years now. (24) And the quality and quantity of work I can do emerges directly from my ability to concentrate. I don’t understand how people have creative careers without napping.Every day at about 1 p.m., everyone faces the same choice: sleep until 2 p.m. and then work until 5 or daydream and drift around social media and attend pointless meetings until 7 p.m.(25) The friends I have who still work in offices inform me that bosses insist they take the second option and that napping is associated with laziness. I genuinely find it odd, for if you nap properly, it’s like waking up from a full night’s sleep and you can double your day’s worth of concentration. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q22. What do we learn about the Dreamery, a business in Manhattan? 答案: B)Q23. Why does the speaker ask us to look at the world around us at 2:30 in the afternoon? 答案:C)Q24. What do we learn about the quantity and quality of the speaker’s work? 答案: B)Q25. What does the speaker say he finds odd? 答案: A)。

Maybe I should call to check on it.W: Don"t worry. It takes at least a week to arrive.Q: What does the woman think the man should do?[解析] 本题为建议意见类型题。
从选项中的关键词order，check，furniture可推断对话与购买的家具有关。

Parrots, crocodiles and peacocks were among the victims of temperatures that dropped as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius early Saturday morning at the Chihuahua Zoo in the city of Aldama, about an hour north of Chihuahua. The alarming number of deaths, which represents about 10% of all the zoo’s animals, was the result of several compounding factors, owner Alberto Hernandez said. The zoo faced other challenges. Frozen water pipes meant that ho ses couldn’t be used to fill animals’ food bowls. Warm water had to be brought in from outside, Hernandez said. Electricity was not restored until Sunday, he said. Nonetheless, the zoo opened for business as usual Monday, though Hernandez said he expected an economic hit from the loss of the animals.1. How many animals were killed due to the cold weather?2. What did the zoo’s owner do after the tragedy happened?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.U.S. forecasters yesterday admitted that the deadly snowstorm that has swept along the east coast was a nasty surprise. “We’re really cursing those computer models, ” said Andrew Woodcock, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sterling, Virginia. “They had the low pressur e system way out to the sea. ”The storm raced north along the coast on Monday and Tuesday, leaving nearly two feet of snow in places. Many schools and businesses across the east were closed again yesterday, along with all Philadelphia city offices and courts and most Maryland state offices.3. Which description is NOT correct about the storm?4. How long did the storm last?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Indonesia’s Mount Merapi has erupted with its biggest explosion in more than a century, killing at least 70 more people, burning down homes and blanketing the region in white ash. Authorities said Friday this latest in a series of eruptions over the last 11 days was the most ferocious yet. 750 - degree (Celsius) gas flowed down the mountainside in a thunderous roar. The heat was so intense that clothes and blankets were fused to the injured as they fled for safety. The death toll from theeruptions has now risen to about 120 and is expected to increase as rescuers pull bodies out of the ash and broken rocks. Volcano experts said the Friday blast was the biggest since the 1870s. With the unpredictability of the volcano, authorities widened the danger zone around the mountain to 20 kilometers.5. Which of the following is NOT caused by the eruption of Mount Merapi?6. How many people have been killed by the disaster?7.

Could you spare a few minutes?W: Sure. What do you need?M: Well, I wanted to let you know that I’ve put in my notice.W: Really? Why?M: It’s complicated. But basically it boils down to one thing. This company is downsizing and I can’t continue working for a company that may let me go.W: But surely they won’t fire you! You’re one of the most experienced managers here!M: Well, to be honest, there’s another reason. I’ve got a better offer.W: Well, that’s great news! Congratulations! Where will you be located?M: The head office is in New York, but I’ll be dealing with overseas companies and flying to this side of the world from time to time.W: It’ll be sad to see you go, but it sounds like you’ve found yourself a great company.M: I have. I feel lucky. I look forward to dealing with overseas companies and at the same time having a chance to use English more.W: I’m sorry to bring this up, but would it be possible for you to write me a letter of recommendation before you go?M: Of course I can.

In Britain, students don’t have to take the fundamental courses.W: Why not?M: Maybe because they think they know everything already.

What do we know about the British education system?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneAt first glance, Esther Okade seems like a normal 10-year-old. She loves dressing up as Elsa from “Frozen”, playing with Barbie dolls and going to the park or shopping.But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand out is the fact that she’s also a university undergraduate.Esther, from Walsall, an industrial town in the UK’s West Midlands region, is one of the country’s youngest college freshmen.The talented 10-year-old enrolled at the Open University, a UK-based distance learning college, in January and is already top of the class, having recently scored 100% in a recent exam. And in case people think her parents have pushed her into starting university early, Esther emphatically disagrees.“I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my mum was like ‘you’re too young, calm down.’ ” After three years of begging, mother Efe finally agreed to explore the idea.Esther’s mother noticed her daughter’s talent shortly after she began homeschooling her at the ag e of three. Initially, Esther’s parents had enrolled her in a private school but after a few short weeks, the pair began noticing changes in the youngster.Efe says: “One day we were coming back home and she burst out into tears and said ‘I don’t ever want to go back to that school-they don’t even let me talk!’ ”Therefore, Efe started by teaching basic number skills at home, but Esther was miles ahead. By four, her natural aptitude for math had seen the eager student move on to very difficult parts.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we know about Esther?17. What does Efe think about Esther’s early university study?18. What did Efe find after homeschooling her daughter?Passage TwoListening to music is one of the most common ways we manage our stress and emotions.When we feel tired after a long day at work, many of us like to relax by closing our eyes, and turning on our iPods. Or when we feel down after a heated argument with a boyfriend or girlfriend, we may listen to some uplifting tunes to help distract us from our anger or sadness.Even at this very moment, I’m listening to some calm instrumental rock music, because it helps me stay relaxed and focused when I’m writing.These are just some of the ways we use music to improve our psychology. And more and more research is beginning to show that music can serve a very positive function in our everyday life.In a study done by University of Gothenburg in Sweden, it was found that participants who listened to music after a stressful episode in their everyday life reported decreased levels of stress when compared to individuals who didn’t listen to music after a stressful episode.And in another study done by the same team of researchers, it was found that listening to music was an effective way to reduce a hormone commonly released when we are experiencing stress. This suggests that listening to music can have a real biological effect on our mental health.Listening to music can be a big part of art therapy, and these new studies are consistent with a growing body of research that shows the benefits of music on our stress and anxiety.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Why do we listen to some uplifting music after arguing with friends?20. What was found in the study done by University of Gothenburg in Sweden?21. What is the biological effect of listening to music?Passage ThreeEven if you’ve kicked off a fitness routine and you’re choosing healthier food, you may not be seeing the weight come off the way you’d hoped. While there are plenty of other healthy accomplishments to celebrate, you’re probably wondering what’s not working.Nuts, whole wheat bread, olive oil and dark chocolate are all natural and healthy, but they aren’t void of calories. You still need to watch how much you eat of the good stuff.Skipping breakfast may seem like a great way to save calories, but keep in mind that people who eat breakfast regularly lose more weight—so make sure to eat breakfast each morning. Don’t just grab anything; include protein to give yourself sustainable energy and fiber to fill you up for hours.When it comes to a balanced diet, we know that portion control is one of the keys to success. Keep measuring cups and spoons on hand to make sure your serving sized are appropriate, and learn how to give your body the “I’m full” signal in order to help you drop the fork when the time is right and move on with your day.Standing at the fridge or the counter to swallow isn’t saving time or energy and can lead to mindless eating. It’s best to designate time for snacking and meals that are set apart from other activities.Making time for body exercise can mean less time for sleep, but it’s important to get enough sleep if you’re trying to l ose weight. You need extra energy to keep up with your exercise routine, and skimping on sleep can affect your body’s ability to control its appetite.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we know about olive oil and dark chocolate?23. What is the suggestion about having breakfast?24. What is related with portion control?25. Why is it important to get enough sleep?。

考试简介
CET-4: College English Test Band 4 大学英语四级考试即CET-4。是由国 家教育部高等教育司主持的全国性教
学考试；考试的主要对象是根据教育
大纲修完大学英语四级的大学本科生 或研究生。考试时间为每年的六月和 十二月。
4 What does the woman mean?
A) The man has left a good impression on her family. B) The man can dress casually for the occasion. C) The man should buy himself a new suit. D) The man’s jeans and T-shirts are stylish
以2007年12月Conversation Two为例（10:26）: 23. A) She is thirsty for promotion. B) She wants a much higher salary. C) She is tired of her present work. D) She wants to save travel expenses. 首先通过核心词汇得出本对话的大致主题是有关……, 再联系两次出现的动词,想到或许与……有关,并顺理成章地想到可 能会谈到离职的原因、新职位的性质以及薪酬等等。这就是"先纵 “ 此后我们可对选项中较长的词语做标注, 通过听录音我们发现本题 答案的对应信息在原文中是"I'm fed up with my job.", 正是 "tired of"的同义置换。这就是"后横"。 可见,事先标注关键信息,可让我们在听时将注意力集中到更小 的"点",起到事半功倍的效果。
4. 观点态度推测题 问题常常是关于谈话一方对另一方或第三方的行为、品德、观点等的态度或评价。 常用的提问方式有： What does the man / woman mean / imply? How does the man / woman feel about .. .?What does the man / woman think of ...?这类题的题干中一般都含有一些引出 观点态度的动词或短语，常见的有： think, believe, find, guess, imagine, consider, as far as I know等。根据这 类线索词判断出试题类型以后，可以更有针对性地留意说话人对自己观点态度的 陈述。例如2005年1月的真题： M: What do you think of the prospects for online education? Is it going to re place the traditional school? W: I doubt it. Schools are here to stay, because there are much more than jus t book learning. Even though more and more kids are going online, I believe fewer of them will quit school altogether。 Q: What does the woman think of the conventional schools? A) They will be replaced by online education sooner or later。 B) They will attract fewer kids as online education expands。 C) They will continue to exist along with online education。 D) They will limit their teaching to certain subjects only。

2012年6月真题
1.What are the speakers doing? A) Trying to sketch a map B) Painting the dining room. C) Discussing a house plan. D) Cleaning the kitchen.Leabharlann
3. 行为活动推测题 这类问题是关于谈话的一方或双方做过什么、正在做什么或要做什么。 通常提问的方式有：What will the man / woman probably do? What are the speakers probably going to do? 等。一般来说，这类题型的 选项都是动词短语的不定式形式或动名词形式。在留意动词的同时，要 记录一些与该动词相关的重要信息，尤其是不止一个选项中的动词在对 话中出现的时候，只有留意与其相关的信息，才能根据问题对号入座。 例如下面的对话： M: Did you check the power plug and press the “play” button? W: Yes, the power indicator was on, and it was running, but somehow the sound didn’t come through. Q: What was the woman probably trying to do? A) To play a tape recorder. B) To take a picture. C) To repair a typewriter。 D) To start a car。 从选项我们可以看出是行为活动推测题。在听的时候，抓一些关键词， 如power plug， the “play” button， the sound，就可以判断出活动应 该是要听录音机。要顺利解答此类问题，还应注意谓语动词的形式、时 态以及提问的对象等。
1. 人物关系推测题 人物关系一直以来都是四级听力考试的重要考点。此类题要求考生通过 对谈话内容的把握来推测当事人之间的关系。例如2001年6月的真题： W: I heard you got a full mark in math exams. Congratulations! M: Thanks! I’m sure you also did a good job。 Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers? A) A math teacher and his colleague. B) A teacher and his student. C) A student and his classmate。 D) A librarian and a student。 根据谈话的内容，“a full mark in math exams”和 “ you also did a good job”，我们不难判断出两个谈话人是同学关系。
