引申题。
在英语口语当中也有类似与咱们汉语的成语、谚语和习惯短语，往往也出现在英语四级听力考试里面，考生需在平时英语学习过程中积累一些英语谚语和习惯短语，对西方文化、风俗要有一定的了解，做好充分的准备，这类题就好搞定了。
英语口语中经常出现的谚语和习惯短语：
wild horse couldn’t keep me away. 野马也挡不住我——非去不可。
i’m counting the days. 我在数着天数——急迫希望。
the last thing in the world. 这是世上最后一件要做的事——不愿意。
day in and day out. 早出晚归——很忙。
give me a hand. 帮我一个忙。
【例1】 2000.6 英语四级听力题。
m: prof. kennedy has been very busy this semester.
as far as i know, he works until midnight every day.
w: i wouldn’t h**e troubled him so much if i had known he was so busy.
q: what do we learn from the conversation?
a) the woman has trouble getting along with the professor.
b) the woman regrets h**ing taken up much of the professor’s time.
c) the woman knows the professor has been busy.
d) the woman knows the professor has run into trouble.
【**】 四个选项都是在描述woman，所以女士的话很关键。注意听辨。
【解析】 男士说教授很忙，女士没有直接回答，而是说早知道就不麻烦他了，言下之意，就是不应该去打扰他，所以选b。其他选项都不符。
【例2】 1996.1 英语四级听力题。
w: weren’t you nervous when the professor called on you in the class?
m: i’d say i was shaking all over.
q: how did the man feel when he was called on?
a) worried and frightened. b) very relaxed.
c) quite unhappy. d) angry with the professor.
【**】 从d选项中透露出的关键词professor说明该题有可能是学校上课的场景，注意回忆该场景的单词。
【解析】 女士问男士当被教授点名时是否紧张，男士未做正面回答，而是说听说被叫到时在发抖，言下之意，就是紧张和害怕，故选a
转折题。转折题看似比较难，搞的考生摸不着头脑，其实你要抓住其内在的规律便可迎刃而解。所谓转折，代表意思的改变，往往答案关键线索之处在转折词的后面。
当你听到原文**现显性转折词but(四级听力出现频率最高，考生应注意其在句子里面的发音连读和爆破), or , otherwise , however , anyhow 等，及隐性如：in fact, to tell the truth, frankly speaking, to be honest, sounds great, i’d love to, i’m afraid to, that’s great等，就需对前面的信息180度大转弯，再来判断正确答案。
【例1】 2000.6英语四级听力题。
w: did you visit the television tower when you had your vacation in shanghai last summer?
m: i couldn’t make it last june. but i finally visited it two months later.
i plan to visit it again sometime next year.
q: what do we learn about the man?
a) he saw the big tower he visited on tv .
b) he has visited the tv tower twice.
c) he has visited the tv tower once.
d) he will visit the tv tower in june.
【**】 选项是关于谁去了tv tower没有，去过几次的干扰。
【解析】 男士说去年6月，没有游览成电视塔，很多同学看见否定就掉进这个陷阱(couldn’t)，后面but转折的话才是要点，提到两个月后去了，计划明年还去一次，所以实际只游览了一次。因此选c。
【例2】 2001.6英语四级听力题。
m: how did you like yesterday’s play?
w: generally speaking, it was quite good. the part of the secretary was played wonderfully, but i think the man who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.
q: how does the woman feel about the man?
a) he played his part quite well. b) he was not dramatic enough.
c) he performed better than the secretary d) he exaggerated his part.
【解析】 关于整个play女士觉得quite good，不要在这里上当。but 后面的是关键，“the boss”的角色太戏剧化，不像是真的，说明表演过头。所以选d。
其他选项都相反。
事实状况题。
事实状况题是指根据原文中提供的信息(同义词)寻找相对应的正确答案。在答题之前应分析四个选项相互之间的联系，通过其之间的差异或共性找出线索是解题之妙方。
【例1】 2000.6 英语四级听力题。
m: how are you getting on with your essay, mary? i’m h**ing a real hard time with mine.
w: after two sleepless nights, i’m finally through with it.
q: what do we learn from this conversation?
a) the man thought the essay was easy.
b) they both had a hard time writing the essay.
c) the woman thought the essay was easy.
d) neither of them has finished the assignment yet.
【**】 选项都提到essay，听时一定注意关于双方essay的看法。
【解析】 两人对话均对这个**发表意见“h**ing a real hard time(费了九牛二虎之力)”、two sleepless nights(熬了两个通宵)”，可见两者都觉得**难写，与b答案相对应。a、c与原文相反。女士说“i’m finally through with it”表示已经写完，故排除d。
【例2】 2000.6 英语四级听力题。
w: where did you say you found this bag?
m: it was lying under a big tree between the park and the apartment building.
q: where did the man find the bag?
a) in the park. b) between two buildings.
c) in his apartment. d) under a huge tree.
【解析】 原文中男士说到包的位置是在树下，所以选d。树的位置“between the park and the apartment building”可知a、b、c均为错误选项。
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**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.
