听力试题的第二部分分为长对话和独白（短文），我们将分别用两期节目来进行复习。现在就开始学习吧！ 考生在备考长对话时，可参考以下几点技巧： 1. 长对话出题的顺序和文章的顺序一致，因此在听力开始前应当充分利用空隙时间迅速浏览四个选项，了解对话大意，做到有的放矢。 2. 和听力短文非常相似，长对话在文章开始时就点明文章大意，而且考题中也会考查文章的主题，因此考生在考试时应当集中注意力抓住主题。 3. 点明主题后，随后的部分围绕这一主题展开，每个方面的论述类似短对话的问答形式，考试的重点往往落在回答中，因此考生如果能掌握短对话各种题型特点和应试技巧，那么对这类题目就会轻车熟路了。 4. 长对话内容比较，题量也比较大，因此适当地做些笔记是非常有必要的。 一、 学会听前读选项预测内容 对待选项应采取快速阅读的方法，一定要避免逐词阅读，否则就不可能在听录音前看完选项。选项的长短、繁简不一，具体处理方法也要有所不同。选项都比较短时，可采用扫视法。扫读选项，大体了叫内容。当选项较长时，可分两步处理：第一步，纵观全文，以发现其共同成分；第二步，采用竖读方法，着重看区别。选项（尤其是较长的选项）之间往往有相同的内容。 练习： Questions 1～4 are based on a conversation between Irene, a secreatary and her boss Mr. Jerome S.
