考试结构：Section A：10 short conversations 复习的重点
Section B：最可能考三个段子（3 passages）。其次，有可能考复合式听写（Compound Dictation）或听写填空（Spot Dictation）。
提高听力的步骤：
第一步，听懂考题；
第二步，总结考题规律；
第三步，了解考试本身，做类型题。
短对话题型分类：
Section A考题为六种题型。无论每个考题的具体内容是什么，考题的题型总在重复。我们要培养解类型题的能力。比如在态度方向题中，每个考题的内容肯定不同。但题型高度一致，解题的方向也必然相同。
如： Would you go to dance with me tonight?第二人的回答只有两种Yes或No。我们要听的是第二个人的态度方向。这个题问去跳舞吗？而另外的一个完全不同的考题可能会问去看电影 吗？去音乐会吗？去野餐吗？去看比赛吗？这些不同的考题在我们的耳朵里就应该是同一类考题。我们要听的是：他在问去还是不去？第二人要回答Yes还是 No。而解题点即正确选项一定就在第二人的回答的开头。
听力范围：Campus life
考察对象：College students（在什么都没听清的情况下，异性猜classmate，同性猜roommate）
