  3.抓住对话中的一些标识性的词语。
  听音时应注意抓住一些表示因果、转折、比较或举例等逻辑关系的标识性的词语,如:but, instead, if, when, since, before, after, so 等,尤其是转折后的内容,往往表达作者的真实观点或态度,常为考查重点。
  4.把握说话人的语气。
  听音时应注意通过说话人的语气来判断说话人的态度,尤其是反问、疑问、感叹等语气,往往会明显地体现出说话人的态度或观点。
  【真题示例3】(06-6-3)
  [A] The Edwards are quite well-off.
  [B] The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.
  [C] It’ll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.
  [D] It’s too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.
  M: How do you like the new physician who replaced Dr. Andrew?
  W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.
  M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.
  Q: What does the man imply?
  【解析】观点态度题。本题是问男士暗示什么。选项中living expenses(生活开支)和buy another house表明对话应与the Edwards的生活开支和购房计划有关。对话中男士用反问语气(should they be doing…?)表示反对意见They shouldn’t be doing…(≈It’ll be unwise…to do…)。
