人物意图题

　　 解题思路:尽量理解说话人的意图。一般来说第二个人说的话更重要也通常是答案点所在,尤其要注意第二个人说的话中的but,so,because等逻辑关系词。

　　 选项特点:通常选项主谓宾较为齐全,选项可能较长。

经典考题:

　　 例1:2005年12月真题

　　 5.[A]She admires Jean's straightforwardness.

　　 [B]She thinks Dr.Brown deserves the praise.

　　 [C]She will talk to Jean about what happened.

　　 [D]She believes Jean was rude to Dr.Brown.

　　 原文:M:Jean really lost her temper in Dr.Brown's class this morning.

　　 W:Oh? Did she? But I think her frankness is really something to be appreciated.

　　 Q:What does the woman mean?

　　 答案:A

　　 解析:男士说“Jean今天早晨在Brown老师的课堂上发脾气了”。女士说:“是吗?但我认为她的直率是该被欣赏的”。选项A“她赞赏Jean的直率坦诚”与原文属于同义替换。答案信息点在第二个人说的话中but的后面。

　　 例2:2006年6月真题

　　 3.[A]He'd like some coffee.

　　 [B]He'd like a piece of pie.

　　 [C]He's just had dinner with his friends.

　　 [D]He'd rather stay in the warm room.

　　 原文:W:It's freezing cold!Let me make some coffee to warm us up.Do you want a piece of pie as well?

　　 M:Coffee sounds great!But I'm going to have dinner with some friends in a while,so I'd better skip the pie.

　　 Q:What does the man mean?

　　 答案:A

　　 解析:女士说:“天气很冷,泡点咖啡暖身吧,想不想也吃块派?”男士说:“咖啡听起来不错!但是我过会儿要和几个朋友吃晚饭,所以最好还是不吃派了。”答案信息点在第二个人说的话coffee sounds great,以及but和so后面的内容。另外skip the pie“跳过、略过派”,也就是“不吃派”,只喝咖啡。
