四级听力长对话的3个答题技巧
一、做好笔记，抓住细节
细节题关注对细节的把握和描述，
即要求考生在听完对话后回答以
what，when，where，how等提出
的问题。它通常没有固定的提问方
式，问题可以涉及到对话的方方面
面，如人物的特征、事情的过程或
先后顺序、做事的喜好等。细节题
本身并不难，但因为长对话涉及的
信息通常较多，考生在听时应在选
项旁边适时做好笔记，以应对这种
常考题型。
A.Thursday evening, from 7:00 to
9:45.
B.From September 1 to New Year’s
eve.
C.Every Monday, lasting for 12
weeks.
D.Three hours a week, 45 hours in
total.
M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it’s not on Thursday.
W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven.
M: Just once a week?
W: Yes. But that’s almost three hours from seven to nine forty-five.
M: Oh. Well, that’s alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?
W: Mmmm, let me see. Twelve weeks. You start the first week i n September, and finish, oh, just before Christmas. December 21st.
Q: What do we learn about the schedule of the evening course?
二、简短回答不简单
在对话中，有时对于第一个说话人
的提问或者声明，第二个说话人的
回答会包含“简短回答+详细解说”
两部分。其中，简短回答部分是日
常生活中最简单的口语，容易听懂；
然而后面紧跟着的解说部分则往往
较长，且可能有比较艰深的词汇，
不易听懂。
若详细解说前没有but，则解说部分是对前面简短回答的补充说
明；若详细解说前出现but，则解说
部分含义与简短回答部分相反，由
此可推出答案。
总之，第二个说话人的简短回答是其完整回答的“先遣部队”，对
理解对话、解答问题具有重要的价
值，应特别留意。

W: Mm, I’m not really in the mood for hill walking. Why don’t we just go swimming?
M: That suits me. But it will take an hour or two. Do you like to do something else first? Maybe we could go cycling?
Q: why doesn’t the man want to go swimming?
三、抓听核心词，锁定答案
长对话的结尾处常出题，这就意味
着，抓听到结尾处的核心词，往往
能锁定答案。因此，考生要竖起耳
朵听到最后，不可松懈。

B.I t will involve lots of train travel.
C.I t will enable her to improve her
Chinese.
