  常见的地点场景提问方式:

  ① Where does this conversation must probably/likely take place?

  ② Where are the man and woman at the moment?

  ③ Where are the two speakers?

  ④ Where did it happen?

  ⑤ Where is the man probably going to work?


  【例1】 2001.1

  M: Can you tell me the title of this oil painting?

  W: Sorry, I don’t know for sure. But I guess it’s an early 18th century work. Let me look it up in the catalog.

  Q: Where does their conversation most probably take place?

  A) At a bookstore B) In a workshop

  C) At an art gallery D) In a department store

  【解析】 提前积累地点(bookstore、workshop、art gallery、department store)相关信息词汇。原文中出现的oil painting,18th century work与C选项中的art gallery(美术馆)词汇同现。所以选答案C。

  【例2】 2002.1

  W: You seem very confident about the job interview, don’t you?

  M: Yes, I feel ready for it. I bought a good suit in a clothing store. I had my hair cut. I have studied almost everything about finance and economics.

  Q: Where is the man probably going to work?

  A) In a bank B) In a school

  C) In a clothing store D) In a barbershop

  【解析】 播音前积累地点(bank、school、clothing store、barbershop)相关信息词汇。这题陷阱极多,我们来一一分解:had studied是过去完成时,仅表示面试前的知识准备,而非在学校工作;bought a good suit和had my hair cut也是面试前的过去动作,而不是将要去的地方;finance and economics是银行中的信息词,也是M学习的科目,故选A。

  1. A) At a newsstand. B) At a car dealer’s.

  C) At a publishing house. D) At a newspaper office.
