9. 人物對某件事物的觀點或態(tài)度，或考生從對話中能獲得什么信息或結(jié)論。該類的題難度較大，類型也比較繁多復(fù)雜。需要考生全面理解對話內(nèi)容。
What does the man mean (imply) ?
What does the woman's answer suggest?
What can we learn from the conversation?
What can be concluded from this conversation?
如：
W: You seem to have a lot of work to do at your office. You're always staying late and working overtime.
M: That's true. But it's no bother to me. The work is interesting. I don't mind working extra hours at all.
Q: How does the man feel about his job?
A: He enjoys it very much.
B: He doesn't care much about it.
C: He doesn't mind even though it's tedious.
D. He hates working overtime.
本題的關(guān)鍵是The work is interesting.
詢問對方的觀點和態(tài)度問題中有一大類是含有虛擬語氣的。該類型一直是英語四級熱門考點。這就要求同學(xué)們了解虛擬語氣的表意功能，根據(jù)虛擬語氣判斷正確選項。如：
W: I'm thinking of going to Austin for a visit. Do you think it's worth seeing?
M: Well, I wish I had been there.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A. The man is planning a trip to Austin.
B. The man has not been to Austin before.
C. The man doesn't like Austin.
D. The man has been to Austin before.
I wish I had been there.說明說話人沒有去過。
含"but"的題型
該題型中第二人的答話由兩部分組成,先是一個簡單的短句,后是一個較長的句子,短句和長句之間用but連接.but后的長句是答案的關(guān)鍵.
W: I thought the librarian said we could check out as many books as we need without a library card.
M: That's right, but not those reference books.
Q: What does the man mean?
A. Students with a library card can check any book out.
B. Reference books are not allowed to be checked out.
C. Only students with a library card can check out reference books.
The number of books a student can check out is unlimited.
含條件關(guān)系的題型
條件句包括真實條件句和虛擬條件句.考生要注意判斷所給條件為真實條件句還是虛擬條件句,找出句子的正確時態(tài).如：
W: Did you win the game?
M: If only our team had scored one more point!
Q: What does the man mean?
A. It's too bad we didn't score another point.
B. Our team is the best one by far.
C. We won a very close game.
D Their team didn't get a single point.
條件句型由if only引導(dǎo)，后面跟的是虛擬語氣，意思是"要是我們多得一分就好了！"由此我們判斷事實情況與此相反。
W: If I buy some plants for the house, will you water them for me while I am away?
M: Sure, I will, if you water mine while I'm on vacations.
Q: What will the man do for the woman?
A. Clear her house while she is away.
B. Buy some plants and take care of them.
C. Water her plants while she is away.
D. Water her plants while he is not at work.
條件句型由if引導(dǎo)，后面跟的是陳述語氣，所以男士實際上是答應(yīng)了女士的請求。
含有反問句或設(shè)問句的題型 對話中經(jīng)常會用到反問句或設(shè)問句，該類題比較含蓄，所以，不僅要理解對話的表層意義，還需體會言外之意。明確要求聽懂言外之間的典型問題是："What does the man/woman mean/suggest?"
A)She agrees with the man
B)They should ask the typist about it .
C)The typist is very good .
D)The typist is not good .
對話原文為：
M：I think we should replace the old typewriter
W: Why not the typist?
Q: What does the woman mean ?
