【例4】A) She doesn't really know where they originated.
B) She mainly drew on stories of ancient saints.
C) They popped out of her childhood dreams.
D) They grew out of her long hours of thinking.
【录音】M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?
W: I've no idea where the ideas came from. And…
Q: According to Miss Rowling, where did she get the ideas for the
Harry Potter books? [2006.12/T25]
【解析】问题与对话中的问题完全一致。没有出现音近干扰的选项，因此，尽管正确答案与原文的实际用词不完全一致。也属于“听到什么就选什么”。答案为A。
锦囊妙计3：由结尾处的核心词锁定答案 在长对话的最后一题中，如果四个选项都是动词原形、动词不定式或者现在分词，往往涉及到对话者的建议、正在或将要采取的行动。一般来说，对话结尾处的建议句型是考查要点。对于这种建议题，解题的关键在于抓住建议句型中的谓语动词，理解其含义。该动词原形或者其同义替换词组就是正确答案。
对话结尾处当然并不都是在提建议，但是，结尾处的核心词有助于揭示对话场景，可以回答有关下一步行动以及对话主旨等题目。这样的词汇往往令人记忆深刻，是答案所在。换言之，做题时要相信第一感觉，若无确切把握，最好不轻易改动答案。
【例5】A) Changing her major.
B) Spending less of her parents' money.
C) Getting transferred to the English Department.
D) Leaving the university.
【录音】W: …but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed, though, if I told them I was quitting.
Q: What is Karen thinking of doing? [2006.6/T25]
【解析】根据选项可预测，题目询问她打算做什么。根据最后一句中的quit，可知答案为D，其中的leave是quit的近义词。
【例6】A) She will have more contact with students.
B) She will be more involved in policy-making.
C) It will be less demanding than her present job.
D) It will bring her capability into fuller play.
【录音】W: Oh, yeah, from October 1, I'll be doing an entirely different job. There's going to be more committee work. I mean, more policy work, and less dealing with students, unfortunately-I'll miss my contact with students.
Q: What will the woman's new job be like? [2007.6/T25]
【解析】A、B选项以she开头，说“她”将要“更多地”(more)做什么工作;C、D以it开头，说“它”将更容易做，或将更充分发挥她的才能。由C的比较句来看，it应该也是指job，甚至是future job(与present job相对，用将来时态)。可见，本题问女士将要从事的工作的内容、情况。对话结尾处女士说.10月1日开始她就要做完全不同的工作，会有更多政策性工作，而学生工作会减少。B与此相符，为正确答案。
