D) 找一个停车计费器。【听音指导】选项均缺少主语，属于细节题加转折题型，预读时无需关注句意，直接找相似场景即可，并且按照听力短对话规律，重点仍然在女士话语当中，典型的“转折”出答案题型。【正确项分析】由but后的money changer可知男生需

23、要换零钱，可快速排除选项B (购物中心)和选项D (停车) 二个场景，答案应在选项A、C当中。C选项虽也和“钱”有关，但对话中对该选项中的银行只字未提，由此可知答案为选项A。【原文及译文】M: Excuse me. Do you have change for a ten-dollar note? I need to pay the parking meter.W: Im sorry, but I think you can get it through the money changer in the shopping center across the street.Q: What is

24、the man trying to do?男士：打扰一下，你能给我换开一张10美元的钞票吗?我需要支付停车费。女士：很抱歉，但我觉得你可以到马路对面的购物中心里的货币兑换中换取零钱。问题：男士要干什么?【词汇点拨】parking meter 停车计费器;cash a check 支票兑现;change n. 零钱12. A) Shopping with his son.

25、sgirl. D) 与女售货员讨价还价。【听音指导】预览选项，可发现均缺少主语，与11题一样，属于细节题加建议题型，直接寻找相似场景即可，可快速排除选项C，因为只有C选项是关于“出售”(促销)，而其它选项都和“购买”有关;答案应在选项A、B、D中。【正确项分析】女士话语仍具有绝对指导意义，非常简单的建议考点，竟然直接用到了suggest，其后必有答案，女生提到toy train和brand，加上男生说的school boy，可确定答案为选项B。【干扰项分析】A选项中的son是无中生有，切忌主观猜测。选项D可在听时排除，原文中并无任何涉及关于“还价”或具体金额的内容。【原文及译文】M: Can

30、解释题加转折题型，此类题型答案多为“听见什么不选什么”。 本题需要对考生有一定的实力要求，属于可“失分”的题目。关注动词 move to，provide，show around和ask。【正确项分析】经典转折考法，直接用but定位答案即可，男生说自己当时还很年轻，言下之意自己对当地情况不够了解。答案为B选项。【干扰项分析】根据四级听力中短对话“尾词错误原则”，即结尾内容听得越清楚越不能选，可顺利排除A选项。选项C没有提及。选项D与选项B为相似项，其中应有答案，男士并未主动提出找人帮忙，故排除选项D。【原文及译文】W: I need to talk to someone who knows Ba
