【编者按】精品学习网提供2012年6月英语四级听力精练—短对话1,供考生复习。
11. A) Proceed in his own way.
B) Stick to the original plan.
C) Compromise with his colleague.
D) Try to change his colleague’s mind.
原文
M:The biological project is now in trouble. You know my colleague and I have completely different ideas about how to proceed.
W:Why don’t you compromise? Try to make it a win-win situation for you both.
Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?
[答案]C)。[听前猜测]四个选项都是动词短语,故推测本题考查说话人要做什么。[精解]对话中男士埋怨生物学项目出麻烦了,同事和他的观点截然不同,女士用why don’t you引导的句式进行劝说,建议他compromise(让步),实现win-win situation(双方共赢的局面)。由此可见,女士建议男士作出让步,以和为贵。故本题答案是C)。
