【点评】
本次四级短对话无论从对话内容还是从题目本身来看，整体难度相对简单，和往年该部分相类似，话题覆盖日常生活（生活琐事、看电影、旅游等）、校园生活、商务工作（会议、求职等）。
例如，对话2、6、7均涉及商务工作话题；对话3、4、5、8均涉及日常生活话题；对话1则为校园生活话题。
主要考查事实细节和推理判断，其中，事实细节题比重相对较大，这对于广大考生来说是有利的。
主要难词生词有：
solarheater“太阳能热水器”，travelagency“旅行社”，makeendsmeet“收支相抵”，makereservationsfor“预订，预约”，whatI'minamoodfor“我想吃什么”等，理解好生难单词对整个听力内容的把握大有裨益，所以考生平时应多积累一些词汇和常用表达。

【答案】
9.B）Ithasaninterestingmuseum.
10.A）Theyareinoppositedirections.
11.C）Theyhavelotsofoldhouses.
【点评】
该对话属于比较常见“问路”话题。
因此考生在考试中听到开头一两句之后可以在草稿纸上画一个东西南北的方位箭头图，中心点是男士所在的地方。
这样听到后面介绍其它景点时，可以立刻在相应方位把地名缩写和距离数字很快记下。
避免听到很多不同地名和数字时候头脑一片混乱。
三个问题都是考查事实细节。
但没有考查Norwalk，AmitsvilleandNewton，WestfieldandGreatTown这几个地方的具体距离及位置，因此题目比较容易。
因此该话题备考一方面有意识记下数字和方位以防万一考查具体点，另一方面要注意理解对话的中出现的一些中心句。
如“…theyareactuallyinoppositedirections.”

15.C）Secretary.
【点评】
该对话属于商务场合老板与秘书间有关“日程安排”常见的对话。
抓住这一主题，第一题和第四题的答案就显而易见了。
同时对于对话中何时何地与何人的相关日程要多加留意，第三题和第四题分别考查了时间和人物的细节题。
因此预测可能出现较多时间和人物的话题，注意可以随手简单记一下。
对于人名拼写不要纠结，首字母缩写自己能辨认即可。
