　　本题考查的是同学们对虚拟语气句子的理解，答案是B.二、知识因素在语言中的运用
　　这里所说的知识包括与听力材料有关的背景知识、对话和文章的话题知识、听力的策略知识以及听力测试的命题规律等知识。
　　1、背景知识
　　对听力材料的背景知识的了解有助于听力材料的理解，而缺乏应有的背景知识常常是造成理解失败的原因。听力对话和听力短文所涉及的领域广泛，要求同学们注意积累有关文化、历史、地理、宗教、政治、风俗、生活等各方面的知识，正是Rich experiences are the facilitator of listening comprehension.
　　2、话题知识
　　无论是对话还是短文，都有其所涉及的话题，所要说明的主题，而材料中的一切又都是为了这一主题服务，表现同一主题，或同一话题又有与其同现的词汇。同学们可以通过这些词汇推测文章的话题，然后通过文章的主题，预测文章的大体内容，从而对短文进行整体的理解。同学们同样可以通过同现的词汇推测对话发生的地点，会话人之间的关系，各自的身份等。
　　（1）利用词汇的同现判断对话发生的地点以及会话人之间的关系和身份、职业等。如：
　　①
　　M: The Golden Lion sounds like a nice place to eat.
　　W: Ok, let''s go there. I hear that they have a complete menu and a warm atmosphere.
　　Q: Where are the man and the woman going?
　　A. To the beach.
　　B. To a play.
　　C. To a movie theater
　　D. To a restaurant.
　　从menu一词结合a nice place to eat，同学们便可轻松判断答案D。
　　②
　　M: How about the food I ordered? I''ve been waiting for 20 minutes.?
　　W: I''m very sorry, sir. I''ll be back with your order in a minute.
　　Q: Who is the man most probably speaking to?
　　A. A shop assistant.
　　B. A telephone operator.
　　C. A waitress
　　D. A clerk.
　　从order的使用可以判断答案为C。
　　③

　　Q: What is the probable relationship between the man and the woman?
　　A. Policeman and driver.
　　B. Policeman and thief.
　　C. Teacher and pupil.
　　D. Director and actress.
　　从signal, stop, pay a fine可以看出，说话者之间的关系为警察和司机的关系。答案为A。
　　(2) 利用话题和主题知识把握全文：
　　文章的主题一般出现在文章的首句，在听时一定要注意首句的理解，然后根据首句推测文章可能会包括的内容，在听的过程注意用来说明主题的信息，进行前后的连贯思索，就可以轻松地理解全文。事实上听力中也有对文章主题的考查。如：
　　There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years.
