题目1Major at University
答案出处...,but after a year she transferred to study at Barnard University,majoring in sociology.
标准答案、考点及解题方法sociology此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和良好的单词拼写能力。第一题中出现了“Major at University”，我们可以知道这道题是问关于大学里主修哪个专业的问题，因此在听的时候对出现的关于专业和大学的词要非常敏感，短文的第二句话就出现了答案。由此可见，从一开始就必须得集中精力专心听。
典型错误及其原因
socioligy错误原因
对单词的拼写没记清楚，导致原因可能是平时对单词发音不规范。
PHD错误原因没听清信息的具体环境和位置，张冠李戴。
writing错误原因没听清具体信息，根据大意主观臆想。
题目2Growing Up In New Guinea Published (Year)
答案出处Together they wrote Growing Up In New Guinea, Published in 1930.
标准答案、考点及解题方法1930
此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。第二题括号中提示要填写的是年份，因此在听的时候对出现的年份要特别注意，此类题型多出现许多年份用来迷惑考生，故要抓住关键词“Growing Up In New Guinea”和“Published”，仔细听。
典型错误及其原因
1942错误原因事先没有仔细审题，弄清楚数字出现的上下文环境和关键词。导致错误原因是“Growing Up In New Guinea”出现后紧接着介绍了“Balanese Character thatwas published in 1942.”
1928错误原因与文中信息“Coming of Age in Samoa, published in 1928”混淆。
1959错误原因与文中结尾“It was published in 1959.”混淆。因为大多数考生对文章结尾印象很深，故一定要对具体信息具体把握。
