地點(diǎn)場景題
　　地點(diǎn)場景題是歷年四級考試中必考之題，做這類題時，應(yīng)根據(jù)其對話內(nèi)容，抓住其中的關(guān)鍵場景特點(diǎn)，以此辨認(rèn)對話發(fā)生的場所。如：通過class, examination, teacher等詞斷定談話是在學(xué)校，通過waiter, menu, tip等詞判斷對話發(fā)生在飯店。另外注意相關(guān)地點(diǎn)及場所的名詞前的介詞，如：in a bank, at the airport, on the floor。以下是相關(guān)地點(diǎn)和場所文章中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的信息詞：

　　常見的地點(diǎn)場景提問方式：
　?、?Where does this conversation must probably/likely take place?
　?、?Where are the man and woman at the moment?
　?、?Where are the two speakers?
　　④ Where did it happen?
　?、?Where is the man probably going to work?
　　【例1】 2001.1
　　M: Can you tell me the title of this oil painting?
　　W: Sorry, I don’t know for sure. But I guess it’s an early 18th century work. Let me look it up in the catalog.
　　Q: Where does their conversation most probably take place?
　　A) At a bookstore B) In a workshop
　　C) At an art gallery D) In a department store
　　【解析】 提前積累地點(diǎn)（bookstore、workshop、art gallery、department store）相關(guān)信息詞匯。原文中出現(xiàn)的oil painting，18th century work與C選項中的art gallery（美術(shù)館）詞匯同現(xiàn)。所以選答案C。
　　【例2】 2002.1
　　W: You seem very confident about the job interview, don’t you?
　　M: Yes, I feel ready for it. I bought a good suit in a clothing store. I had my hair cut. I have studied almost everything about finance and economics.
　　Q: Where is the man probably going to work?
　　A) In a bank B) In a school
　　C) In a clothing store D) In a barbershop
　　【解析】 播音前積累地點(diǎn)（bank、school、clothing store、barbershop）相關(guān)信息詞匯。這題陷阱極多，我們來一一分解：had studied是過去完成時，僅表示面試前的知識準(zhǔn)備，而非在學(xué)校工作；bought a good suit和had my hair cut也是面試前的過去動作，而不是將要去的地方；finance and economics是銀行中的信息詞，也是M學(xué)習(xí)的科目，故選A。

　　C) At a publishing house. D) At a newspaper office.
　　2. A) At a theatre. B) At a booking office.
