What does the woman/man think of the idea/play?
How does the man feel about the plan/proposal?
What conclusion can we draw from the woman’s statement?
..推断类题解题要领:
①留意对话人的语音、语调,捕捉其"弦外之音"。如果说词汇是"硬件",表达的是"表层"意义,语音、语调则是"软件",表达的是"深层"意义。一般说来降调表示肯定、赞同;升调表示疑问、否定,尤其是一般疑问句用降调、陈述句用升调时。如下面对话中男方说的陈述句采用升调,用以回答he doesn’t
know about the park.
W:Excuse me,could you tell me how to get to the park?
M:There is a park around here??
Q:What does the man’s response indicate?
②注意录音材料中的反意,即讲话人的观点是反向的,如不能听出,则所答必然与正确答案相反。反向观点的表达经常采用虚拟语气的形式,如果考生对这部分语法掌握较好,做这类题会大有帮助。除规范的虚拟语气结构外,考生还应知道,情态动词+不定式完成式也表达与事实相反的内涵意义。如:
should have done sth. 应该做而未做…
shouldn’t have done sth.不应该做而做了…
needn’t have done sth. 不必做而实际做了…
might have done sth. 本可以做而实际未做…
如 W:What do you think of the play last night?
M:I should have stayed home.
Q:What does the man think of the play?
男方没有直截了当回答女方的问题,而用"我真该呆在家里"这一反意表达(因实际上他去看剧了)说明了他不喜欢那场剧,并且后悔去看了

③善于联想,揭示事物之间的相关性,顺藤摸瓜。如:
W:Do you think we should invite Peter over to the party?
M:His mother is here for a visit.
Q:What does the man mean?
乍一听,男方似乎是答非所问,但稍加琢磨,便可由Peter的母亲来看Peter联想到Peter要陪他母亲,而不可能来参加晚会这一情况。
