在这一对话中，最能说明问题的信息词是flight 和gate ，根据选项内容和生活经验，在飞机场发生的可能性最大，而问题问的正是最可能发生的地点，故正确答案是D。
例2：You read:
A. A secretary. B. A waitress.
C. A customer. D. A housewife.
根据选项可知这是一题判断职业的试题。不难预测，问题大概是What job/work…? 或Who…? 问句。带着问题听：
M: What kind of soup do you recommend?
W: We have very nice tomato soup and clear soup, sir.
Q: Who is the woman?
对话中，男士要求推荐一个汤，女士便提到了两个不同的汤名。关键信息词是soup 和recommend。所以，B 是正确答案。
例3：You read:
A. Customer and merchant. B. Boss and secretary.
C. Teacher and student. D. Passenger and bus driver.
从选项的内容可以看出例3与例2的不同之处，例2的每个选项中只有一个职业名词，而例3的每个选项中含有两个职业名词。因此而知，这是一题判断说话者间关系的试题。请看录音原文：
M: Could you please tell me at which stop I should get off for Hudson Park?
W: Sure. You get off at 54th Street and walk one block. You can’t miss it.
Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?
从关键信息词stop 和get off 可以推断出对话是发生在公共汽车上。所以，D 是正确答案。
一般说来，判断题较其他类型的试题要容易些，因为所用的词汇和句型比较有限，涉及的范围也不太宽，答题的准确率故而较高。
l 语法结构题
这类试题是测试考生对语法现象的掌握和理解能力。语法现象既会出现在四个选项中，也会出现在对话录音中。这就要求考生有牢固的语法知识，答题时才能从容不迫。
例1：You read:
A. Yes, he’d like to attend very much.
B. Yes, he might attend.
C. No, he is not willing to attend.
D. No, he doesn’t have the time to attend.
虽然四个选项略长，但不难发现，这是一题肯定与否定试题，问题一定是一般疑问句。问题的焦点是：做某事，A 和B 必有其一是正确答案；若没做，答案肯定在C 和D 中间选。同时还要了解做与没做的原因。明确问题的关键后，细听原文：
W: Hello, Bob. Jim and I will hold our wedding party next Sunday. We’d like
you to come.
M: Congratulations. I’d love very much to attend. But I’ll have an exam on
Monday and an essay due on Wednesday.
Q: Will Bob attend the party?
根据选项中推测的焦点，对话中的关键信息词是but。抓住了这一点，便可马上排除肯定项A 和B。再根据关键信息词句I’d love …, exam 和essay，选项C便被排除在外，正确答案无疑是D。
例２：You read:
A. Because she loves gardening.
B. Because she likes flowers.
C. Because she has two dogs to keep.
D. Because her daughters love gardening.
这一题的四个选项均是原因状语从句，因此，可以断定提问的形式是Why…? 或What’s the reason…? 而且A、B 和C 三项中从句的主语相同，只有D项的主语例外。按常规，D项成为正确答案的可能性较小。带着找出“做某事的原因”的任务仔细听录音：
M: You obviously love gardening.
W: No, I hate gardening. But I’ve got two large dogs, so I need a big garden.
Q: Why does the woman need a big garden?
