否定句型在这类题型中,最重要的线索是抓住否定性的关键词。值得注意的是这类题一般都不是以明显的否定方式出现的,所以需要考生多加注意。包含否定性的关键有: 否定副词和形容词:hardly, rarely, little, seldom, few, never等。 否定代词和连词:nothing, nobody, neither, nor, none等。 否定前缀和否定后缀:im-, un-, dis-, non-, -less等。
表否定意义的其他词:fail, miss, avoid, deny, refuse, doubt, far from, anything but, instead of, rather than,by no means等。 二.长对话(Long conversations)
听力长对话(Long Conversations)的长度一般在6-20句之间,字数在120-250字之间。针对每篇长对话的问题可能会有2-5个。与短对话相比,长对话涉及的内容更深入,人物态度,语气,情感变化更复杂,一般不能简单依赖某个关键词来判断整篇对话的含义。一人一句的短对话涉及的只是一个?°点?±,而长对话涉及的是一个?°面?±。短对话的答案一般是?°显而易见?±的,而长对话有时更依赖于推断和判断。尽管如此,长对话必然有一个中心议题,中心议题正是该?°面?±的凝聚点,对话双方都是围绕该中心而展开话题,对于长对话而言,做出正确选择的关键就是把握住对话的中心思想。

由于对话较多,长对话的场景就显得格外重要,准确判断对话的场景(situation),对把握对话的中心思想是非常有帮助的。这里所谈到的场景,是指人物,身份或职业,议论的问题,时间,地点等等的综合概念。清晰的场景会在考生头脑中形成氛围,容易把握对话的发展脉络,使对话情节的发展更加顺理成章。
对长对话的题型分析,根据多年的实践经验,依据场景的不同,对长对话进行分类.下面是对长对话经常涉及到的几种情况做了归类,主要分成三大类:学习相关类,生活相关类和工作相关类。顾名思义,学习相关类与学习有密切联系,比如:选课,考试,论文等;生活相关类主要涉及到家庭,校院生活,娱乐,运动等;生活相关类多是找工作,面试等题材。下面列举几个常用典型场景的题型。
