做题方式：视听基本一致原则，场景解题原则
视听基本一致的含义是指，听到的原文和看到的选项若基本一致，则选项容易为正确选择。这一点和短对话的原则恰恰相反，请考生一定注意。另外，考生还应注意长对话第一回合句，转折关系以及语调变化等。
例题：
2009年12月四级考试第1篇长对话（部分节选）：
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. A) He prefers the smaller evening classes C) He has to work during the day.
B) He has signed up for a day course. D) He finds the evening course cheaper.
20. A) Learn a computer language. C) Buy some computer software.
B) Learn data processing. D) Buy a few coursebooks.
答案：C B
听力原文（部分节选）：
Woman: Hello, Parkson College. May I help you?
Man: Yes. I’m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fourth semester.
W: Do you want a day or evening course?
M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day（19题答案点在此处直接被读出）.
W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing?
M: No.
W: Oh. Well, data processing is a course you have to take（20题答案点在此处被读到） before you can take computer programming….
19. Why does the man choose to take an evening course?
20. What does the man have to do before taking the course of computer programming?
特别需要指出的是，本题发生的主题场景就在大学——Parkson College，学生向老师咨询课程（courses）的内容。这时，做完题目的考生得问问自己：选修课必修课，大课小课，讲座展示，学分学时这类词汇和短语我们都会说么
