　　一、短对话解题技巧点拨

　　一般来说，短对话部分共有8组对话，8个问题，每个对话涉及一个问题，彼此之间无联系。而且，与听力部分的其他题目相比，短对话是相对简单的一种题型。它的内容与大学生的日常生活结合最紧密，可能会涉及到学习、考试、住宿、交际、天气、购物、就餐、旅游、约会、交通、工作、送行、会议、娱乐、锻炼、职业等方面。

　　就解题方法和技巧而言，除了听力通用的“联系想内容，区别(反义)定答案;相似可能选，定不选;积极可能选，消极必不选”的基本原则之外，短对话的解题有一个与其他题型特别不同之处，即：听啥不选啥。“听啥不选啥”，是指对原文直接重复的选项一般不是正确答案。这是因为短对话比较简单，要求考生能完全听懂，并对听到的内容有比较深刻的理解。例如：

　　A)Having confidence in her son.

　　B)Telling her son not to worry.

　　C)Teaching her son by herself.

　　D)Asking the teacher for extra help.

　　W: What would you do if you were in my place?

　　M: If Paul were my son, I’d just not worry. Now that his teacher is giving him extra help and he is working hard himself, he’s sure to do well in the next exam.

　　Q: What’s the man’s suggestion to the woman?

　　【技巧点拨】选项B中出现了原文的not worry，选项D中出现了原文的his teacher is giving him extra help，但是正确答案A几乎没有出现对话中的原词。
