一,短對話部分
短對話加強了對場景詞彙和語義替換的'要求。如直接考察地點失物招領處的第17題和重拳出擊住房場景的第11題:
11.W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. Its located in a quiet building and its close to bus lines.
M: That maybe true. But look at it, its awful, the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation?
其中包含若干住房場景詞彙,如油漆剝落、地毯破損、爐具老舊等。如果之前沒有專門進行若干場景單詞的積累,恐怕解題會有難度。
又如需要理解和語義替換的第14題:
M: This truck looks like what I need but Im worried about maintenance. For us itll have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures.
W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?
