4、oblem is transportation. The bus service is terrible, and, of course, they dont have a subway, so its a little difficult to get around. We had to rent a car.M: And what did you see?W: Oh, the usual things. We took a drive around Hollywood and looked at the stars homes, and then we went to Universal

5、Studios and Disneyland.M: How did you like Disneyland?W: It was great! We really enjoyed it. We took all the rides, some of them twice, and had lots of fun.

7、话，注意开头部分，由开头的问句How was the West Coast?可知他们在谈论西海岸的旅行。技巧总结主旨题，对话开头部分很重要。2.What is the problem of LA?选C。细节题。听音时注意和城市问题相关的信息The problem is transportation。听问题，问LA城市存在的问题，C为细节再现。3.Which of following did the woman not visit?选D。细节题。听音时地点名词处及时做笔记：Hollywood, Disneyland, San Francisco。听问题，问女士没有参观的地点。只有New Orle

I just got out of a history class. I had to give a

11、presentation.M: How did it go?W: Terribly. Im sure I made a fool of myself.M: Why? Werent you prepared?W: No, its not that. I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red andthen I get even more nervous because I know eve

12、ryone can see me blushing.M: It is not so bad to blush.W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, Ill blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesnt that ever happen to you?M: No, not really. Maybe you should try to forget about the people. Look at something

13、else in the room, like the exit sign.W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt that itll help.M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. Blushing, even though its involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.W: What do you mean?M: Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And, among adults

14、, supposedly women blush more than men.W: I wonder why.M: I dont know. But I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush.

15、 later.Questions I to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard. （4）验证答案：1.What was the womans problem?选A。细节题。当听到get so embarrassed and nervous，其中embarrassed做笔记。听问题，问女士的问题，A为细节再现。2.Why might looking at the exit sign help the woman?选B。推理题。根据猜测，注意和出口位置相关的信息，try to forget about the people，Loo

16、k atthe exit sign。听问题，问为什么要看着出口，根据细节进行推理，forget about the people的目的是为了减少紧张。3.What does the man say about children?选D。推理题。根据猜测，听音时注意小孩与大人脸红对比的信息，children hardly ever blush at all.“小孩几乎从来不脸红”，And, among adults, And表示对比。听问题，问的是关于小孩的情况，由此推出D“小孩不象大人那样经常脸红”。技巧总结意思相反的两个选项，往往有一个是正确答案。 三、Exercise Three人物故事及人
