英語四級聽力對話題解析
新聽力考試Section A中增設了2個長對話(Longe Conversations)，這也體現出整個聽力考試題型的主要變化，短對話由原來的10個減少到8個，增加了2個長對話。長對話共計7道題，Conversation One為4道題，Conversation Two為3道題。如樣題中給出的兩篇長對話：

M：How much will that cost?
W：We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.
M：OK.We'll have to discuss these costs with finance.
W：We should also consider human resources.I've been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.
M：And what's the picture?
W：We'll probably have to hire a couple Of engineers tO help us modernize the factory.
M：What about advertising?
W：Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.
M：TV?Isn't that a bit too expensive for us?What's wrong with advertising in the papers，as usual?
W：Quite frankly，it's just not enough anymore.We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.
M：Will we be able tO afford aU this?
W：I'll look into it，but I think higher costs will be justified.These investments will result in higher profits for our company.
M：We'll have tO look at the figures more closely.Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.
W：All right.I'll see tO it.
Questions 19 t0 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19.What are the two speakers talking about?
20.What does the woman say about the equipment of their factory? ‘
21.What does the woman suggest about human resources?
22.Why does the woman suggest advertising on TV?
Conversation One篇幅較長，這給考生在短時間內從大量信息中尋找答案制造了困難。不過，如果考生再回過頭仔細去看看對話中加底紋的部分，就可以發現這些部分就是4道題目的答案出處，而且每次答案的出現幾乎都伴隨著一個問題。這首先就說明了一點，幾乎每每遇到問答的形式都是考官青睞的考點，而且考試的重點往往落在答語上。這一點和短對話中體現的原則不謀而合，而且短對話中的建議請求原則也和此處的情況極相似。另外，還有一個特點考生觀察后不難發現，并不是每一組問答都被作為考點，而作為考試重點的幾組問題之間關聯性是不大的。換句話來說，一個問題考查了對話的主題，從第二個問題開始分別考查了new business strategy所呈現的3方面問題。其中每一個方面選擇了一個最重要的問題來考查，這一點又和以往的短文理解考查方法很相似，特別是人物生平發展或者故事類的題目很相似，每一方面的內容只考查一道題目，而且出題的順序和對話或短文的順序基本上是一致的。
