  Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

  A) Colleagues B) Husband and wife

  C) Employer and employee D) Mother and son

  【解析】 播音之前考生需对选项(colleagues、husband and wife、employer and employee、mother and son)提前作好预测原文内容的信息词汇准备。这题需掌握对话双方的特殊身份语言及口气:原文中“扩大我的词汇量”明显提示说话者是学生,根据女士的话及含有教训的口气“不记得你作的确保?”可推知其身份为家长,所以两者的关系应为母子。选择D。

  【例2】1997.6

  A) A railway porter B) A bus conductor

  C) A taxi driver D) A postal clerk

  【解析】提前对四个选项(railway porter、bus conductor、taxi driver、postal clerk)积累相关词汇,再来听一听,你会发现本题关键信息词send this parcel, postage可推断出对话的场
景是在邮局,所以男士的身份是D选项a postal clerk。
