Short conversations
11. W: Just imagine we have to finish reading 300 pages before Monday, how can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?
M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore.
Q: what does the man mean?
12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need.
W: Wow, I don’t like to let anyone else to drive my car. Tell you what, why don’t we go together?
Q: What does the woman mean?
13. M: Forgive the mess in here. We had a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food
W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today.
Q: What does the woman think the man will do？
14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?
M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.
Q: What does the man mean?
15. W: I was so angry yesterday. My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t let me pass.
M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.
Q: What does the man imply?
16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he’s going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come.
W: I’m sorry you feel that way. But my mother insists that he come.
Q: What does the woman imply?
17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s your impression so far?
M: Well, many students can hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee.
Q: What does the man imply?
18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before?
M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won’t have much trouble.
Q: What are the speakers going to do? [hjmAdNone]
以下是2010年6月19日四级答案听力短对话解析
今年的四级短对话整体难度与往年持平，只要听到了听力核心词汇和关键语法句型就能选出答案。
首先，在8道短对话中有六道都涉及了“推测内涵类”，这与我们昂立之前预测的必考题型是相吻合的。其次，11、16和18题都运用了“but后面有考题”的听力技巧，不管之前听到的内容是什么，只要有“but”出现就有正确答案的诞生，相信在我们昂立上过课的学生对这一技巧一定不会感到陌生。再次，关于关键语法点虚拟的考查。短对话的15题句型“if I were you”是非常典型的虚拟句型，指的是“如果我是你，我会……”答案就在“会”的后面；16题考查了insist这个单词，后面加从句的话是虚拟语气，是should+动词原形，其中should可以省略。
