经典考题:
例:2002年6月真题
4.[A]The woman doesn't think it a problem to get her passport renewed.
[B]The woman has difficulty renewing her passport.
[C]The woman hasn't renewed her passport yet.
[D]The woman's passport is still valid.
原文:M:Have you run up against any problems in getting the passport renewed?
W:I haven't started applying yet.
Q:What do we know from the conversation?
答案:D
解析:由女士的答语I haven't started applying yet“我还没申请呢”可知答案为D,“护照仍旧有效”。另外三项的大部分单词或短语都出现在原文中,但都不正确,该题又是“视听反向”的例证。valid意为“(在一段时间内)有效的”。
