抓住話語中的意流指示詞
    意流指示詞是指在句子開頭或句子與句子之間具有邏輯關(guān)系的某些連詞、副詞或詞組。如yes ,sure, certainly, of course, no, sorry, well, not really, why not, but, however, yet, besides 等。請不要小看這些詞或詞組，它們連接的句子或句子成分往往是說話人要強調(diào)的內(nèi)容。
    1) 語氣性意流指示詞(轉(zhuǎn)折類)
    其中yes , no, sure, certainly, sorry等表明說話人態(tài)度與反應的語氣性意流指示詞。一般說來，如果在句子開頭聽到y(tǒng)es , sure, certainly，of course則表明說話人對某事的肯定或贊許;如果是no, not really, sorry，I am afraid則表明說話人對某事反對或不同意。這樣根據(jù)對話中的意流指示詞，我們可以知道說話人的基本態(tài)度。
    【例3】
    W：Have you finished your homework yet, Bill?
    M: No, and I'm not going to.
    Q: Will the man do his homework?
    A) Yes, he may do it.
    B) No, he doesn't want to do it.
    C) Yes, he will by all means.
    根據(jù)男方在回答時出現(xiàn)的“no”，我們即可排除選擇項中肯定性的答案A、C，選擇與聽力原文意思相近的答案B。
    【例4】
    W：Do you remember the film about “Gone with the Wind”that was on TV last week?
    M: Sure. We watched it together.
    Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
    A) The man saw a film in the cinema.
    B) Both of them watched the film on TV last week.
    C) The film will be shown on TV next week.
    女方問是否記得上周在電視上播放的“亂世佳人”時，男方首先用sure這個肯定性意流指示詞，表示同意女方的話題，接著又出現(xiàn)了together，因此很容易確定B為正確答案。
    這里需要注意的是，如果speaker 1以Would you mind doing sth. 提問,則yes ,no的用法與上面所說的意思相反。
    【例5】
    M: Excuse me, do you mind my sitting here?
    W: Oh, no, of course not.
    Q: What does the woman's answer mean?
    A) She doesn't want him to sit beside her.
    B) She doesn't like him at all.
    C) Please sit down.
    由于would you mind doing sth.是“你介意不介意”的否定性問句，回答時用“no”，是不介意的意思，表示同意，因此C為正確答案。如果女方回答時用yes,說明她介意，也就是表示反對。
