學(xué)會聽前讀選項預(yù)測內(nèi)容

　　對待選項應(yīng)采取快速閱讀的方法，一定要避免逐詞閱讀，否則就不可能在聽錄音前看完選項。選項的長短、繁簡不一，具體處理方法也要有所不同。選項都比較短時，可采用掃視法。掃讀選項，大體了叫內(nèi)容。當(dāng)選項較長時，可分兩步處理：第一步，縱觀全文，以發(fā)現(xiàn)其共同成分;第二步，采用豎讀方法，著重看區(qū)別。選項(尤其是較長的選項)之間往往有相同的內(nèi)容。

　　Questions 1～4：

　　M：I think we’d better go over my schedule, Irene. I’m going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I’ll be visiting a number of countries, I’d like you to make the bookings.

　　W：Right, Mr. Buck. I’ll take down the details.

　　M：Well, I’m leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I’m going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there’s a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening.

　　W：Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then?

　　M：I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We’ re going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland.

　　W：So when are you leaving for Paris?

　　M：First flight on Saturday morning. I’m planning to meet my wife there. She’s going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we’ll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr. Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I’ll need a double room.

　　W：How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr. Buck?

　　M：Only till Monday evening. I’m going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I’m due in Madrid to inspect the new factory.

　　W：And that’s the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly form Madrid?

　　M：Yes, on the first plane out on Thursday. We must be back on Friday, the 25th. It’s my daughter Sharon’s birthday.
