【例1】 2004.6英語四級聽力題
M: Mr. Brown asked me to tell you that he is sorry he can’t come to meet you in person. He is really too busy to make the trip.
W: That’s Okay. I’m glad you’ve come in his place.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A) The man is late for the trip because he is busy.
B) The woman is glad to meet Mr. Brown in person.
C) The man is meeting the woman on behalf of Mr. Brown.
D) The woman feels sorry that Mr. Brown is unable to come.

【例2】 2001.1英語四級聽力題
M: I’m worried about those classes I missed when I was sick.
W: I’ll try to bring you up to date on what we’ve done.
Q: What does the woman mean?
A) She’s bought the man a pair of glasses today.
B) She will help the man to catch up.
C) She is worried about the man’s health.
D) She has bought the man an up-to-date map.
【預(yù)測】 選項(xiàng)中都提到“she”,不難預(yù)測判斷此題是考女士的行為去向。
【解析】 原文中的“bring you up to date”和答案B的“help the man to catch up”都表示“幫某人趕上……”,均為同義轉(zhuǎn)述。A選項(xiàng)的glasses是對原文的classes在讀音上的干擾;C、D都是誤解。
