B.11:55. C.11:40.答案是C.此题问的是飞机何时起飞的。飞机15分钟前飞往芝加哥,现在是12点差5分,所以,飞机应是11:40起飞的。3.推断对话发生的背景、地点及对话者之间的关系对对话背景、地点、对话者之间关系的理解程度体现了考生对口语的理解能力。对话发生的背景、说话者之间的关系决定着谈论的话题、内容、说话的语气和措辞。反之,从说话的语气、用词和内容可以推断出说话的背景、说话者之间的关系。这是高考听力考查的一项重要内容。一般说来,此类对话一般都发生在一些公共场所,如:商店、图书馆、课堂、饭店、邮局、银行、飞机上等,而说话者之间的关系往往是下列关系,如:售货员与顾客、图书管理员与借阅人、老师与学生、服务员与顾客、医生与病人等。考生应注意捕捉对话中的关键词来确定对话背景和说话人的关系。例如:W:Sixairmailstampsandtworegularstamps,please.,M:Hereyouare.Thatwillbeonedollarandeighteencents.Q:Wheredidtheconversationmostprobablytakeplace？A.Atastation. B.Atanairport. C.Atapostoffice.答案为C.通过说话中出现的stamps及onedollarandeighteencents知道顾客在购买邮票,所以,对话的地点最有可能在邮局。4.理解领会说话者的观点、态度及意图这类考题要求考生不但能理解录音原文的主旨大意,而且还要通过文中的重要细节、具体事实来揣摩、推断说话者的意图、观点和态度等,这类题目能考查考生在听力方面的综合素质。有时说话者的意图、观点和态度在对话中的表达较为含蓄,考生则更需注意体会、揣摩,并作一些简单合理的推断。例如:M:Howmanyhoursdoyousleepaday？W:Ineedatleastsevenhours.ItrytofollowDavid’sexamplebutitneverworksoutforme.M:IfIsleepduringtheday,Icanneverwakeup.W:NoteveryonehasthesameasDavid’s,Iguess.Q:Whatdoesthewomansuggestattheendofthetalk？A.PeopleshoulddevelopahabitlikeDavid’s.B.Peopleneedlongerhoursofsleep.C.Peoplehavedifferentsleepinghabits.答案为C。本对话内容是谈论有关睡眠习惯的问题。对话结束时,女声说“并非每一个人都有和戴维一样的睡眠习惯”,言外之意是“每个人的睡眠习惯是不一样的”。提高听力测试能力应多听,这是增强语感、提高听力之本。同时掌握必要的技巧和对策,有助于获得事半功倍的效果。1.充分利用听录音前的这段时间和各段对话之间的停顿时间,通过阅读和分析选项以帮助预测将要听到的内容及其重点,做到心中有数,带着问题去听。预测短文或对话可能涉及到的内容,使自己在听之前就在心中设计了几种可能的情景,这样听录音材料时就会有的放矢,有所侧重,从而提高答题的准确率。2.边听边记,以自己明白的字符记下重要内容。要根据选项中提供的信息,有选择地作一些简单的记录。较长的对话或独白所涉及的内容较多,尤其有一些关键词语往往比较容易混淆,即使当时听明白了,但是由于材料信息量较大,该记的东西较多,过后不能准确回忆起来,如表示时间、日期、年龄、价格、距离的数字,或是地名、人名等。这时可以用笔在试卷的空白处以字符的形式记下,以便加深印象,进行正确地判断选择。3.抓住关键词和主题句。捕捉重要信息是听力理解的首要任务,遗漏了重要信息就不可能听清对话的基本含义。它们对整篇文章的内容起一个概括和提示的作用,是文章的中心论点或者是说话人对所谈内容的观点和态度。4.无论是听对话,还是听独白,注意力一定要集中在对整体内容的理解上,抓住对话或文章主旨大意。切不可只停留在个别单词或单句上,听不清时应马上放过,不要强迫自己听清每一个词,把重点放在听关键词（通常是实词）以及与问题有关的内容上。5.在听录音或答题时必须专心致志。答下一题时,就要完全投入,哪怕没有能够顺利回答前面的试题,也应暂时搁置一边。否则就会影响整个听力效果。
