要想提高因果關(guān)系題的應(yīng)試能力，考生必須學(xué)會(huì)分析選擇項(xiàng)。根據(jù)選擇項(xiàng)的特征確定測(cè)試的具體類(lèi)型。即該題是就原因提問(wèn)還是就結(jié)果進(jìn)行提問(wèn)；同時(shí)根據(jù)選擇項(xiàng)中的主語(yǔ)、人稱(chēng)代詞的性質(zhì)明確聽(tīng)音的重點(diǎn)，即是集中注意力聽(tīng)男聲部分還是女士的談話(huà)。就原因提問(wèn)的測(cè)試題，其選擇項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)較為明顯，通常都由because引導(dǎo)，但也有不少含蓄型的題目。這類(lèi)測(cè)試題的選擇項(xiàng)沒(méi)有because，不過(guò)，只要認(rèn)真分析一下選擇項(xiàng)的謂語(yǔ)部分也能加以確定。
