3)推断类题:涉及会话者的意见、话题的概括、会话人的言外之意等。常见的提问形式如: What does the man/woman mean/imply? What conclusion can we draw from the man’s/woman’s statement? What can be inferred from the man’s/woman’s reply? What can we learn from the conversation? What does the man/woman think of…? What’s the man’s/woman’s attitude?
做此类题时,首先要注意通过体会会话人的语音、语调和用词来理解他的言外之意。 如:W: I heard that you want to buy a computer. I’m thinking of selling mine. All you should do is to move it to your place. M: I know the old ones always have problems. It does not save money at all. Q: What does the man mean?
