解题
1、看清问题2、对症下药，听关键词3、意义理解找对路
含义推断题 无法从对话中直接找到答案，从上下文推导答案
1、选项特征 四个选项为长难句
2、问题特征 What + 关键词 + mean?
What do we learn from the conversation?
What can we infer from the conversation?
What can be concluded from the conversation?
What does the passage infer / imply?
含义推断题主要根据两个对话者所谈的内容进行进一步的推断，从更深层次上考查考生对对话内容的理解程度。
1、听清语调表达的意义 降调：表示对事物的肯定 升调：表示对事物的怀疑、否定和不解
2、委婉否定和虚拟语气在含义推断题中所占比例不小，所以掌握这两种语法是正 确解题的关键
3、第二个讲话人的具体内容往往是解题中心 4、需要运用一定的英语国家文化背景以及常用的习语表达方式
W: Look here, darling. The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six hours a day.
M: That may be true for you, but it certainly isn't true for me.
Q: What can we conclude from the man's reply?
A) He wants to have more sleep.
B) His wife doesn't sleep well.
C) Women need more sleep than men.
D) He doesn't need as much sleep as his wife.
答案是D。找弦外之音。男的说报上说的六个小时睡眠不能少，对妻子也许对，对自己不对，言外之意自己不用睡那么多。
M: Think it over carefully, you must have left it somewhere.
W: But the problem is that I have to have it now. I need it to use my car, and when I get home, to open the door.

重复强调的两种形式：
1、B中重复A中信息并加以解释说明，答案选与该信息不同或相反的选项
2、B中直接以重复A中的信息结束，答案就为该信息

A) Young man
