2023年英語四級聽力長對話十大聽前預測的技巧之十
十、意思相近的選項往往都不是答案
如果有兩個選項意思明顯相近,那么這兩個選項往往都不是答案。
【例11】
【預覽選項】
He was ready to make a concession.
He was not prepared to go to court.
He was not intimidated.
He was a bit concerned.
【聽前預測】
由選項中的concession,go to court, intimidate, concerned等詞可推測問題應該與男士對某事的反應有關。是說他準備讓步,是說他不準備上法庭,二者都表示男士要妥協退讓 的含義,故很可能都不是答案。
【聽音驗證】

M: Yeah? For what?!
W: Youll be hearing from me.
M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court, Jane.
【答案解析】
