2018年公共英语三级听力重难点解析（3）
考生在备考长对话时，可参考以下几点技巧：
1. 长对话出题的顺序和文章的顺序一致，因此在听力开始前应当充分利用空隙时间迅速浏览四个选项，了解对话大意，做到有的放矢。
2. 和听力短文非常相似，长对话在文章开始时就点明文章大意，而且考题中也会考查文章的主题，因此考生在考试时应当集中注意力抓住主题。
3. 点明主题后，随后的部分围绕这一主题展开，每个方面的论述类似短对话的问答形式，考试的重点往往落在回答中，因此考生如果能掌握短对话各种题型特点和应试技巧，那么对这类题目就会轻车熟路了。
4. 长对话内容比较，题量也比较大，因此适当地做些笔记是非常有必要的。
一、 学会听前读选项预测内容
对待选项应采取快速阅读的方法，一定要避免逐词阅读，否则就不可能在听录音前看完选项。选项的长短、繁简不一，具体处理方法也要有所不同。选项都比较短时，可采用扫视法。扫读选项，大体了叫内容。当选项较长时，可分两步处理：第一步，纵观全文，以发现其共同成分;第二步，采用竖读方法，着重看区别。选项(尤其是较长的选项)之间往往有相同的内容。
主旨大意题
顾名思义，主旨大意题要求考生在听懂短文的基础上归纳出短文的主题思想，其中还包
括为短文选择最合适的题目和对作者的结论或意图进行判断归纳。这类题目主要着眼于对全篇总体上的理解。此类题常见的提问方式有：
What is the main idea/topic/subject/chief purpose of this passage?
What is the best title for this passage?
What does the passage tell us essentially?
What is the subject they are talking about?
What did the speaker mainly discuss/talk about?
推理判断题
这类题型要求考生根据所听到的内容推断出材料所暗示的内容，例如：情节的发展趋势，
作者的态度、倾向性等。推断题考查思维的逻辑性，要求能够以语篇为基础进行合理的推测。该类题型常见的提问方式如下：
What will be dealt with in the following paragraph?
What does the passage probably imply at the end?
What can we learn/infer from the passage?
What does the author impiy by saying?
What does the story imply?
这类题型有两个特点：一是难度高;二是逻辑性强。推断题不仅要求考生把握原文信息，还要能够在此基础上合理地进行推断。关键在于这个“合理”的尺度较难把握，因为大部分推断题只要求在材料论述的内容范围内进行推测。如何过多加入自己的理解，可能会超出材料内容，选出错误的结果。

听力原文
All the housewives who went to the supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free groceries. This may be your lucky day!”
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things, which she did not need. In vain her husband tried to dissuade her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are the lucky customer and everything in your basket is free! ”
答案：1.B 2.A 3.B 4.B
