一览四个选项,可以发现主要信号是“the man”和“car”,说明可能会讨论这个人与车之间的关系了。又如第二题,
A) Tony should continue taking the course. B) She approves of Tony’s decision
C) Tony can choose another science course. D) She can’t meet Tony so early in the morning
四个选项中共同信号有“Tony”,“course”,这说明会讨论Tony与功课的关系,而“continue”,“decision”,“choose”这些词进一步说明,可能会讨论Tony是否会继续选择某一功课的问题。
通过这样的预览,我们听的时候就会更有方向,而且很多单词由于事先已经看过,就更加容易听出来。在很多情况下,四个选项中共同信息较多的选项,不但会成为预览的重点,而且还可能直接成为正确答案。比如上面的第一题A和D有重复信息,而正确答案是D;第二题A和D有重复信息,而正确答案是A。又如在2003年6月的考题中第6题是,
A) Buy something for the picnic B) Go shopping with the man
C) Go for a ride around town D) Have a picnic
我们发现明显的共同信息是picnic,而正确答案是A。又如第9题,
A) The old lady sitting next to the couple likes toys very much.
B) An old lady took the couple’s suitcase for her own.
C) The couple’s suitcase was stolen in the restaurant.
D) The man forgot to put the toys in their suitcase.
这个题目中,A和B有old lady, couple这些共同信息,而B,C和D有共同信号suitcase,B选项汇集了最多的信息,而正确答案也正是B选项。当然,这种情况不是绝对的,但至少可以说明一点,预览共同信息很重要。
如果说在短对话部分“竖看”更加重要,那么在短文部分“联想”就更加重要了。如2003年6月考题第三篇短文,
18. A)A rescuer on the Golden Gate Bridge.
B) A professional diver.
C) A telephone operator.
D) A guard on the Golden Gate Bridge.
四个选项中rescuer,professional diver,telephone operator,guard都是讲一种人,所以可以联想到这个题目可能考一个人的职业,而且很有可能与“the Golden Gate Bridge”有关。
19. A) Someone has fallen off the bridge.
B) Someone on the bridge is being attacked.
C) Someone is threatening to destroy the bridge.
D) Someone on the bridge is attempting to kill himself.
四个选项中fallen off the bridge,being attacked,threatening to destroy the bridge,attempting to kill himself都讲一件负面的事情,而且这件事发生在桥上,看来是重要细节题。
