例2.录音原文:
W:Please sit down.Let’s see,you are Mr.Wash,is that right?
M:Right.
W:And you are looking for a job?
M:Yes,I am.I’ll graduate from college next June.I’m majoring in archetecture.
Q:What probably is the relationship between the two speakers? (1997年题)
选择项:
A.Teacher and student. B.Manager and customer.
C.Secretary and client. D.Interviewer and interviewee.
这段会话虽然较之一般的稍长一些,但从graduate,college,major等与学习有关的词汇中,我们可以判断出男方是学生,(B)可以排除掉。从女方的问话中进一步得知男方要找工作。根据找工作时要进行面试这一常识,不难判断(D)是正确答案。此题问的是两个对话者彼此的身份或之间的关系,如果将问题改成Who is the man,那便是问职业了。
例3.录音原文:
M:Hello,Mary,this is Dam Morrison. I’m calling to see whether Tom feels better today.
W:Oh,hello, Prof.Morrison.He feels much better now. The doctor said he’d be able to go back to school tomorrow.
Q:What is the relationship between Dam Morrison and Tom?
选择项:
A.Teacher and student.B.Employer and employee.
C.Colleagues.D.Doctor and patient.
此题问及的是会话者之一与会话中涉及的第三者之间的关系。从女方的话语中,我们得知Dam Morrison是professor,这样一来第一人的身份基本确定,考生可将选择范围缩小至(A)和(C),女方接着告诉Prof.Morrison,他(Tom)明天能上学去(go back to school),而不是go back to work,这样,Tom的身份便是学生,而不是Morrison的同事了,正确答案(A)不言自明。
