2011年12月英语四级听力精练第8套:短对话

2011-12-05来源:和谐英语
  18. A) Indifferent.
  B) Doubtful.
  C) Pleased.
  D) Surprised.
  答案
  【听音指导】预读时可排除唯一的“积极”选项C。本题为加了“弦外之音” 意义解释题,同义替换是答案,此类题有较少的明显的语言点可以指示答案,难度较大。听音时关注说话者的语气。
  【正确项分析】女士所谓的好消息是谈话的两个人都没有被炒鱿鱼。男士却既不兴奋,也没有表示怀疑,所以轻易排除选项B、C。因为他已经有点厌倦这份工作了,甚至想到要去辞职。与选项A意义相符。
  原文
  18. W: Bill, have you heard the latest news? It appears we two won’t be laid off after all.
  M: Oh, I’m somewhat tired of working here. I’ve been wondering whether I should resign. Anyway, the news seems to be good for you.
  Q: How does the man feel about the news?
