下面我们看一个例子来说明这类场景的题目类型和回答技巧:
1. Population of the entire nation: ----------------
Slovenia‘s three major industries are software, ---------, -------------.
2. In Slovenia, which are the major industries except software -----------.
A. textile
B. Steel
C. fishing
D. manufacturing
3. What are the major industries in Slovenia? (No more than three words or numbers)
解析:在正式开始听录音之前,考生可以看到这些题目,所以听的时候按照顺序原则,先听到其国家面积和人口数量。注意不要混淆。考生会听到Slovenia is a tiny city with a surface area of approximately 20,000 square kilometers, which is about 7,800 square miles…. 后面听到with its 2 million citizens enjoying some of the highest rates of mobile phone ownership and internet connection access in central Europe.在整个文章中没有直接给出人口是多少,直到后面才隐讳的出现。所以考试也是考耐心。介绍完这个国家的地理位置和历史之后,紧接着介绍了经济,谈到三大支柱产业textile,Steel 和software,但是说stries is software development, although two more traditional sectors employ more people: textiles and Steel. 通过这些分析,正确答案不言而喻。
总之,熟悉场景词汇,考前阅读题目,考试细心和耐心倾听是做场景题目的关键。要学会听,听关键的信息词,学会猜,通过看问题猜测答案。
