Pronunciation and listening skills
Inferring
where conversations take place
Tips
推断对话发生
的地点是听力中常见的一种考题。遇到这样的题目，要注意听整个对话，理解
对话的内容。不要听到某个
表示地点的词就认为该对话发生在这里，导致选择错误。
Scripts
1.
W: Oh, dear, I’m tired. I can’t walk any
farther.
M: Let’s go to the restaurant across
the street and get something to eat, OK?
Q:
Where does the conversation most probably take
place?
2.
W: Dear, I feel hungry now.
How about you?
M: So do I. Let me call Room
Service. Hello, Room Service? Please send a menu
to Room 320
right away.
Q: Where does
the conversation most probably take place?
3.
M: I’ll have the steak, French Fries,
and let’s see, chocolate ice cream for dessert.
W: Oh, you know these things will ruin your
health, too much fat and sugar, how about ordering
some vegetables and fruit instead?
Q:
Where does the conversation most probably take
place?
4.
M: Excuse me, I’m looking for
the emergency room. I thought it was on the first
floor.
W: It is. This is the basement. Take
the elevator one flight up and turn left.
Q:
Where does the conversation most probably take
place?
Tips
推断对话发生的地点时要注意听完整个对话，理解对话的内容，切
忌断章取义，听到某个表
示地点的词就认为该话发生在那里，导致选择错误例如，在对话1
中，先提到了walk，又
提到了 go to the restaurant across
the street，综合这些，可以推断出该对话发生的地点是在大
街上，而非其他地方。如果仅听
到了restaurant 就作出选择的话，就会推断错误。

expressions about cats in Column A with what they
really
mean in Column B.
2. Listen again
and decide whether the following statements are
true (T) or false (F).
Scripts
Good
morning class! Today I’d like to introduce some
English expressions about animals.
Cats are
one of the most popular pets among Americans; so
it’s not surprising that there are many
expressions about cats in American English.
If someone looks very proud and satisfied
with himself, we might say, “He looks like the cat
that ate the canary.”
If you reveal a
secret or a surprise by accident, we can say, “You
let the cat out of the bag.”
If you
couldn’t speak or answer a question, someone might
ask, “Has the cat got your
tongue?”
And
for the way you behave in class when the teacher
leaves, we sometimes say,
“When the cat’s
away, the mice will play,” meaning to do what they
want and have fun when there
is no
supervision.
You may have also heard the
expression, “Curiosity killed the cat.” This is to
warn someone
not to ask too many questions, as
it might get them into trouble.
Oral work
Make some sentences or describe a
situation by using one or more expressions about
cats you
have heard.

Exercises
3. Additional information
在写supporting sentences
时，要注意剔除与段落主题无关或没有直接关系的句子，因
为它们会干扰段落中心思想的表达。例如：
Topic sentence: My room is cozy and has
everything I need.
Supporting sentences:
1) It is small but has enough space for my
things with a closet.
2) It has a big window
with a view of a beautiful pine tree where birds
often twitter.
3) The landlord is not very
pleasant.
4) It’s nice and warm in winter.
5) It has a big desk and a large shelf for my
books.
解析：这个段落的主题句“我的房间很舒适，里面配有我所需要的一切”。下面的支撑句
1)，
2)，4)，5) 都是围绕着这个主题的，而3)
是说房东不够友好，与主题句格格不入，所以在
写这段时应该删去。

1. (1) In many Western
cultures, the elephant is related to the
characteristics of reliability, dignity,
power, and royalty. In China, the elephant is
considered a symbol of happiness, longevity and
good luck.
(2) During medieval
times, in Western and Central Europe it was fabled
that owls were
actually witches and wizards in
disguise. To this day the owl is considered a
witch’s familiar (an
animal soul-spirit linked
to a spiritual person via a unique, communicative
bond). In China, the
owl is considered bad
luck. People usually think that the owl may bring
death if they see it.
(3) Christianity
connects black cats with Satan, witches, evil, and
any other negative
things that come to mind.
Black cat is seen as the partner of its master,
and they are often hanged
together when the
master is convicted of witchcraft in many Western
cultures. In China, black cats
are considered
favorable because they can expel evils and bring
their masters auspiciousness.
