4)同义表达方式的考查
四六级听力测试中对隐含意思的考查很大程度上依赖于同义表达方式，也就是同学们对具体句式、短语、词组甚至单词的理解。如：
①M: What do you think of Professor Brown’s lecture?
W: The topic was interesting, but the lecture was much more difficult to follow than I had expected.
Q: What does the woman say about the lecture?
A. It was a long lecture, but easy to understand.
B. It was not as easy as she had expected.
C. It was as difficult as she had expected.
D. It was interesting and easy to follow.
与much more difficult to follow than I had expected同义的应该是B。
②M: Nancy, why were you late today?
W: I overslept and missed the bus.
Q: Why was Nancy late?
A. She got up later than usual.
B. The bus was late.
C. She forgot she had class.
D. Her clock was slow.
overslept也就是got up later than usual。
③M: Did you mind coming back by coach instead of by train?
W: No, we didn’t mind at all. It took a lot longer, but it was very comfortable and it was much cheaper.
Q: How did the woman feel about the coming back by coach?
A. She felt it was tiring.
B. She felt it was very nice.
C. She felt it took less time.
D. She thought it was expensive.
从comfortable和much cheaper来看，女士的感觉应该是very nice，答案应该是B。

(5)上下义概念的考查
有些题尽管问题可能问的是含义之类，但其实考查的是同学们对上下义关系的掌握。如：
①M: Let me see. I’ve printed my family name, first name, date of birth and address. Anything else?
W: No, that’s all right. We’ll fill in the rest of it if you just sign your name at the bottom.
Q: What has the man been doing?
A. Having an interview.
B. Filling out a form.
C. Talking with a friend.
D. Asking for information.
上义词为概括性词语，下义词所表示的则是具体的东西。本题中能够概括男士所做之事的应该是选项B。
②M: What happened to you? You are so late.
W: The bus I took broke down in front of the hospital and I had to walk from there.
Q: Why was the woman so late?
A. Something went wrong with the bus.
B. She took somebody to hospital.
C. Something prevented her from catching the bus.
D. She came on foot instead of taking a bus.
Something went wrong是对the bus break down的概括性表述。
