②M: How about the food I ordered? I ve been waiting for 20 minutes already.
W: I m very sorry, sir. I ll be back with your order in a minute.
Q: Who is the man most probably speaking to?
A. A shop assistant.
B. A telephone operator.
C. A waitress.
D. A clerk.
与order有关的自然是waitress,答案为A。
(2)说话双方之间的关系
该题型是上一题型的延伸,要求同学们能判断说话者双方的身份,问题经常是What s the relationship between the two speakers?
①W: How long will it take you to fix my watch?
M: I ll call you when it s ready. But it shouldn t take longer than a week.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
A. Librarian and student.
B. Operator and caller.
C. Boss and secretary.
D. Customer and repairman.
既然女士让男的fix my watch,说明对方是repairman,而自己是customer。
②M: Sorry to trouble you. But is there any possibility of borrowing a blanket? I feel cold.
W: I think we ve got one. Could you wait until after take-off please?
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
A. A guest and a receptionist.
B. A passenger and an air hostess.
C. A customer and a shop assistant.
D. A guest and a waitress.
take-off一词的使用说明女的是空姐,答案自然是B。
可以看出,职业、身份以及说话双方关系的选择所依据的同样是信息词。当然,要判断双方的关系,还可以从说话的方式入手。如:
③M: Make thirty copies for me and twenty copies for Mr. Brown.
W: Certainly sir. As soon as I make the final corrections on the original.
Q: What s the relationship between the two speakers?
A. Boss and secretary.
B. Lawyer and client.
C. Teacher and student.
D. Nurse and patient.
两人间说话的语气和方式表明是"老板与秘书"的关系。
