計劃與行動類題是六級聽力測試中最常見的題型之一,題量較大。
(1)某人計劃或打算做什么。選擇項常以動詞原形或動詞不定式形式出現(xiàn);也有以句子形式出現(xiàn)的選擇項,這類選擇項的謂語部分常出現(xiàn)will,be going或be to。解題時,應(yīng)首先根據(jù)選擇項確定提問的對象,即男士還是女士計劃或準備去做某事,這樣聽音時就可以集中注意力去聽相關(guān)部分,尤其是謂語動詞。
[例]
A) Look for a more expensive hotel.
B) Go to another hotel by bus.
C) Try to find a quiet place.
D) Take a walk around the city.
W: I don't think we can find a better hotel around here at this time.
M: Let's walk a little further to see if there is another one. I just can't bear the traffic noise here.
Q: What will the speakers most probably do?
(2)某人正在做什么。選擇項通常是動詞的-ing形式。有時也會出現(xiàn)句子,但其謂語動詞都是進行時的形式。這類測試題的提問方式比較單一,一般都是What's the man/woman doing now?或What are they doing now?這種類型的測試往往比較簡單,只要集中注意力聽清對話中的謂語動詞基本都能作出正確的判斷。
[例]
A) Looking for a young lady.
B) Looking for her wrist watch.
C) Looking for a young gentleman.
D) Looking for a man wearing a wrist watch.
W: Excuse me, Sir, but have you seen a young gentleman looking for his wrist watch?
M: A young man, Madam?
Q: What's the woman doing?
(3)某人提出去做什么。這類測試中,對話中的一方針對另一方提出的要求或建議,主動提供幫助。試題的選擇項通常為動詞原形或動詞不定式。解題時,通常要集中注意力聽清楚對話中第二個人的談話,特別是謂語動詞。
[例]
A) Go out to work.
B) Listen carefully to John.
C) Be calm and patient.
D) Do the easiest thing.
W: I'm really angry at John. He never listens to me.
M: Take it easy, Alan. Things will work out.
Q: What does the man advise Alan to do?
