一、含义推断题
无法从对话中直接找到答案,从上下文推导答案
1、选项特征 四个选项为长难句 2、问题特征 What + 关键词 + mean? What do we learn from the conversation? What can we infer from the conversation? What can be concluded from the conversation? What does the passage infer / imply?
含义推断题主要根据两个对话者所谈的内容进行进一步的推断,从更深层次上考查考生对对话内容的理解程度。
1、听清语调表达的意义 降调:表示对事物的肯定 升调:表示对事物的怀疑、否定和不解 2、委婉否定和虚拟语气在含义推断题中所占比例不小,所以掌握这两种语法是正 确解题的关键 3、第二个讲话人的具体内容往往是解题中心 4、需要运用一定的英语文化背景以及常用的习语表达方式
W: Look here, darling. The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six hours a day.M: That may be true for you, but it certainly isn't true for me.Q: What can we conclude from the man's reply?A) He wants to have more sleep.B) His wife doesn't sleep well.C) Women need more sleep than men.D) He doesn't need as much sleep as his wife.

答案是C。女的说,不是开始的问题,差不多是决出胜负的时候了,由此可知比赛已进行较长时间了。
重复强调的两种形式:1、B中重复A中信息并加以解释说明,答案选与该信息不同或相反的选项2、B中直接以重复A中的信息结束,答案就为该信息
A: Hi, Are you looking for a young man who is looking for a watch?B: A young man, madam?Q: What are they looking for?A) Young man B) Young woman C) Watch D) Young gentleman

三、建议与请求题
1、出题特点 说话人中的一方提供某种帮助或提出某种请求,而另一方则做出肯定或否定的反应。 把对话中凡是中心话题是试图影响劝诱对方,期待对方给予答复的建议、邀约、说 服、提议等都归入“suggest”。 将命令、指示、要求等话题归入“request”。 2、提问方式 How did the man respond...? What will the man do? What is the man going to do? What does the man offer to do? What does the man suggest / propose / advise / want to...? What does the woman probably do?
3、解题技巧 1)抓住建议请求处做题。句式为: (1)包含情态动词的句子 (2)祈使句 (3)反意问句 (4)否定疑问句 (5)包括有表示建议词汇的句子 How about...? Why not...? Wouldn't...? You'd better... Let's... Shall we...?
2)考场思路 (1)观察选项 (2)边听边预测 a、留心选择对话中动词的同义词 b、留心被提供或请求一方的态度是肯定或否定,关键词为but或任何转折、矛盾的词 (3)在问题的过程中调整测试重心
W: I'm so tired today that I can hardly stay up tonight.M: Just leave the work to me.Q: What does the man offer to do?A) He will leave with the woman.B) He will stay up tonight.C) He will do the work for the woman.D)He will stay with the woman.

有关建议题的几种形式 1)在A句当中出现建议,听B句的回答 2)在B句中直接以建议结尾,答案就为该信息 3)在B句中有but加上建议,答案选but后面的信息
四、赞成与否定题
1)一人用肯定的方式表达,则另一人表示赞同 yes, sure, of course, That's a good idea., out of question, no problem, by all means 2)表示不赞同、不完全赞同或反对 no, not really, not likely, sorry, I'm not sure., please don't, I am afraid not, not at all, no way, out of the question
3)一人用否定表述,则另一人若表示赞同 no, of course not, you don't 表示反对 yes, of course, you do
一些短语、句型等可以含蓄地表达否定的意义 never, scarcely, seldom, scarcely seldom, rarely, hardly, barely, unable, impossible, incapable, unnecessary, unbelievable, little, ill-minded, no one, nobody, none, nothing, neither, nor, dislike, ignore, fail, refuse, hate, stop ... from, miss, overlook, keep ... from, far from, anything but, without, instead of, out of, short of, too ... to ..., rather than, prefer ... to, beyond
提请考生注意: 1)双重否定表示肯定意义 not impossible, not untrue, can't agree more, not unusual, not single ... absent, no one ... not 2)当all, every, many, always等与not同时出现在一句话中时,构成部分否定(或部 分肯定),意思是“并非全都,不是每个”等。 3)虚拟语气表述的内容在事实上是不存在的(即对所表述的内容是否定的)。 值得注意的是,有时否定并不靠词或短语表达,而是通过语气。比如反意疑问句也是否定的表达方式,另外,but引导的句子实际上就暗含了对前面的否定。
M: I sent a letter to make a reservation for a single room a few days ago.W: I'm sorry, your request arrived too late. There are some conferences in town this week and we're full up.Q: Are there any spare rooms at hotel?A) No, all the rooms are taken.B) Yes, there is a double room.C) Yes, there are some spare rooms.D) Yes, there is a single room.

答案是C。两人都讲到没有必要给约翰逊先生写信,这是讲话的主要目的,提到遇见只是交待不必写信的背景。
五、虚拟语气与条件关系题
1、虚拟语气与条件关系如何区分 2、条件关系句型都有哪些 if, unless, suppose, in case, as long as, with / without
3、虚拟语气的句型 1)if虚拟句 a、表示与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,谓语的主要形式为: 从句:过去式 主句:should / would / could / might + 动词原形 b、表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,谓语的主要形式为: 从句:had + 过去分词 主句:should / would / could / might + have + 过去分词 c、表示与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,谓语的主要形式为: 从句:过去式 主句:should / would / could / might + 动词原形
特殊形式: 当从句所发生的时间与主句发生的时间不一致时,可以使用错综时间条件句 如:一个是与过去事实相反,一个是与现在事实相反 If we had left a little earlier, we wouldn't be late.
2)If only后的从句,用过去时表示与现在相反,用过去完成时表示与过去相反,也可用情态动词could, would等 + 动词原形,表示对将来的憧憬,如: If only it would stop snowing! 3)用as if, as though引导的状语从句中多用虚拟语气,用过去时表示与现在相反,用过去完成时表示与过去相反,如: You look as if you had seen a ghost. 4)在以for fear that, lest, in case引导的目的状语从句中,可以用should + 动词原形表示虚拟,也可以用may或might,如: He is studying hard for fear that he should / might / may fail the exam. 5)wish后面的虚拟宾语从句,用过去时表示与现在相反,用过去完成时表示与过去相反,也可用情态动词could, would等 + 动词原形,表示对将来的憧憬,如: I wish I had been to France.
4、虚拟语气与关系推理题答题的要领 虚拟语气和条件关系句都是知识点句。二者的推理方式不同,因为虚拟语气句往往与事实相反,所以考的是正反推理;条件关系句考的是假设推理,因此区分虚拟语气与条件关系句是解题的关键。

If only you'd listened to me.Q: What can we learn from the dialogue?A) The man didn't want the woman to have her hair cut.B) The woman followed the man's advice.C) The woman is wearing long hair now.D) The man didn't care if the woman had her hair cut or not.
