【编者按】威廉希尔app 为大家提供了托福听力PartA：短对话(二），仅供考生参考!
2.考点
在这一部分，你将首先听到两个人的对话，然后是一个问题，问题通常是关于第2个说话人的comment的。下面是这一部分常考的考点。有时一道题中有不止一个的考点。词汇纯粹的单词量测试，但通常不是难词(大学四级或以下单词)。比如题干中听到形容词terrific，那么包含terrific的同义词excellent或者very good的选项就是正确答案。也就是说，不仅要认识关键词也要知道它常用的同义词。不过，这种题大多比较容易。因为这些词汇都很常见。
1999年1月听力题
W： Why are you leaving so early? The movie doesn't start till seven.
M： I don't want to be at the traffic there. It's a nightmare on the expressway during rush hour.
Q： What does the man mean?
(A) He wants to go early to avoid a traffic jam.
(B) He wants to leave the theater before the movie is over.
(C) He doesn't know the way to the theater.
(D) He doesn't usually get up at 7：00.
答案是A.这里整个对话都在讲时间问题，关键词是traffic(交通)。其实，即使你不认识或者不十分确定它的意思，你也可以通过don't want to和avoid之间的同义转换选出正确的答案。
1999年1月听力题
W：If George misses one more meeting we are going to have to find one new committee secretary.M：We'd better give him an ultimatum.
Q： What does the man suggest they do?
(A) Remove George from the committee immediately.
(B) Warn George that his attendance problem is serious.
(C) Offer to help George during the meeting.(D) Telephone George to see if he's coming to the meeting.?
答案是B.
如果你认识并听懂ultimatum是“最后通牒”的意思的话，你轻而易举就能选出它的同义转换warn sb about sth(警告)。而第一句同样说明了George是个不太称职的secretary，但却用are going to将来时说明并非要remove George form the committee immediately.
