除了和英語四級相同的一些視聽反向原則(即聽到的單詞和短語要慎選)和同義詞替換原則(即準確答案經常是原文的同義詞語的替換)之外,六級的小對話在出題方向上出現過一些明顯的特點,總結如下:
教授要求嚴格:例如布置作業(yè)很多、考試不容易過,上課要求準時、講座難度高等等;
2002年6月 第9題:
M: Erh-erh… Looks like I‘m going to be a little late for class. I hope Pro. Clark doesn’t start on time today.

A) He wants his students to be on time for class.
B) He doesn‘t allow his students to tell jokes in class.
C) He is always punctual for his class.
D) He rarely notices which students are late.

2003年1月 第6題

2003年6月 第8題

預訂難以成功:房間、交通或演出的票、商品等都很難訂到或買到。

解析:做題的時候一定要和短文一樣對題目的出題位置有明確的把握,位置感很重要。一般而言,對話時,開頭的客套以及問候與結尾的道別結束語很少出題,而對話中段往往才是重點。另外,本段長對話使用到了視聽基本一致的原則。24題的考法是長對話中最典型的一種,就是針對動作行為進行發(fā)問,考點在于考生需要聽明白人物發(fā)出的動作是什么,原文的動詞harass和選項的harass是一摸一樣,屬于最簡單的考法,而且原文重復兩次,因此考生對此即便是不知道 harass是什么意思也能選對。25題的考法是一貫的長對話結尾題,往往以態(tài)度判斷和結論作為考察對象,此題選項均為態(tài)度詞,很容易判斷,另外,注意到選項呈現“三負一正”的格局,因此答案是顯然的。本段長對話的幾個特色詞匯也需要注意:harass指“騷擾”,綠色和平組織采取“和平騷擾”的方式,影響那些傾倒核廢料(dumping nuclear waste)的人們,而沒有采取訴諸武力(resorting force)的方式。
