行为活动题
这种题型是根据原文中的提示判断某人的行为或去向，应注意问题中问的是谁的行为活动，通过四个选项提前预测可能出现的四种情况，再来抓住与原文相对应信息或同义转述的正确答案。
【例1】 2004.6英语四级听力题
M: Mr. Brown asked me to tell you that he is sorry he can’t come to meet you in person. He is really too busy to make the trip.
W: That’s Okay. I’m glad you’ve come in his place.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A) The man is late for the trip because he is busy.
B) The woman is glad to meet Mr. Brown in person.
C) The man is meeting the woman on behalf of Mr. Brown.
D) The woman feels sorry that Mr. Brown is unable to come.
【解析】 对话中“he can’t come to meet you”、“you’ve come in his place”和答案C中“on behalf of …”为同义表达方式，都表示替某人去见某人。
【例2】 2001.1英语四级听力题
M: I’m worried about those classes I missed when I was sick.
W: I’ll try to bring you up to date on what we’ve done.
Q: What does the woman mean?
A) She’s bought the man a pair of glasses today.
B) She will help the man to catch up.
C) She is worried about the man’s health.
D) She has bought the man an up-to-date map.
【预测】 选项中都提到“she”，不难预测判断此题是考女士的行为去向。
【解析】 原文中的“bring you up to date”和答案B的“help the man to catch up”都表示“帮某人赶上……”，均为同义转述。A选项的glasses是对原文的classes在读音上的干扰;C、D都是误解。
