二、Section B
Section B会话(Conversation),共有2组。每组会话长约120~150词,会话后有2~3个问题,会话和问题都读两遍。会话部分以日常生活和日常交际为主要内容,包括衣、食、住、行、工作、学习等话题。会话一般有人物和情节,句子结构比Section A复杂。Section B和Section A有很大差异:Section B以考查细节为主;Section A以考查听力技巧为主,重在理解,直接通过对话得出答案的题只占很小的比例。因此完成Section B需要掌握和运用的听力技巧与策略,也要与完成Section A所用策略和技巧有所区别。
1.浏览选项,猜测考点。题中的问题往往可以通过快速浏览选项猜测考点而听出对话中相关的信息点来正确完成考题。
2.边听边做笔记。由于Section B以考查细节为主,很多题是需要通过记忆完成的。因此在自己没有把握记住所有信息的情况下,边听边记就是一个对你有所提示、有所帮助的方法。
3.选择听到的内容。在大多数情况下,选项的正确答案是可以在会话中听到的。因此,在没有把握的前提下,选择听到的选项作为该题的正确答案,答对的机会还是很大的。
