地点题是听力考试中难的题目,因为它很少直截了当地在对话中说到某个地方,它更多的是间接地考对话中提到的地点。具体又分为三种情况:
第一种情况是在对话中提到好几个地方,然后就其中一个地方提问。
第二种情况是对话中直接出现的地点并不是题目问题真正要考的地点,要做好这类题目,不仅要注意对话中出场的地点,还要注意在脑海中勾勒出对话的场景,这样,不管最后问题是问对话中出现的地点,还是问这个对话发生在什么地方,就都可以有把握做对了。
第三种情况最难,对话中没有提到任何地点,只有一些表明地点的“特色词”,需要根据这些特色词进行推测才能判断出地点。下面为大家列出一些“特色词”,大家务必用心记忆:

above, around, before, below, beyond, beneath, close to, in front of, in back of, near by, next to, on the left (right), opposite, on the top of, over, under, up, down 等等。
