在听的过程中，注意讲话者的语调及语气对解题很有帮助。
（1） 第二个讲话者重复（2） 第一个讲话者的某一部分话语，（3） 表示反对或强调
You will read：
A) He would like to help the woman.
B) He is too busy to help the woman.
C) He wants the woman to help him type.
D) The woman should help him type first.
You will hear：
W：Would you mind helping me move the sofa?
M：Help you? (rising tone) Can you see I have my hands full with all this typing?
Q：What can you infer from the man’s response?
第二个讲话者用升调重复第一个讲话者的谓语“help”，表示反对，下句话说明反对的原因。所以答案是B）。
（4） 陈述句用升调，（5） 表示怀疑、惊讶
You will read：
A) It will take only two evenings to complete the computer programming.
B) It won’t take one week to complete the computer programming.
C) The man should spend more than one week to complete the computer programming.
D) It will take no less than a week to complete the computer programming.
You will hear：
M：I’m going to spend two evenings on the computer programming.
W：You say only two evenings? (rising tone) Dr. Smith said it should be at least a week.
Q：What does the woman mean?
第二个讲话者用升调，对“两晚上”表示怀疑和否定，紧接着说出了自己的看法。所以答案是D）。
（6） 反意疑问句的升降调
反意疑问句可以用升调也可用降调。若用降调，表示说话者期待对方同意他的观点；若用升调，表示想征求对方的意见。如：
The boy can’t drive, can he? (falling tone)
——The speaker doesn’t think that the boy can drive.
Barbara won’t join us for the picnic, will she? (rising tone)
——The speaker wants to know if Barbara will join them for the picnic.
