聽力試題的第二部分分為長對話和獨白（短文），我們將分別用兩期節目來進行復習。現在就開始學習吧！
考生在備考長對話時，可參考以下幾點技巧：
1. 長對話出題的順序和文章的順序一致，因此在聽力開始前應當充分利用空隙時間迅速瀏覽四個選項，了解對話大意，做到有的放矢。
2. 和聽力短文非常相似，長對話在文章開始時就點明文章大意，而且考題中也會考查文章的主題，因此考生在考試時應當集中注意力抓住主題。
3. 點明主題后，隨后的部分圍繞這一主題展開，每個方面的論述類似短對話的問答形式，考試的重點往往落在回答中，因此考生如果能掌握短對話各種題型特點和應試技巧，那么對這類題目就會輕車熟路了。
4. 長對話內容比較，題量也比較大，因此適當地做些筆記是非常有必要的。
一、 學會聽前讀選項預測內容
對待選項應采取快速閱讀的方法，一定要避免逐詞閱讀，否則就不可能在聽錄音前看完選項。選項的長短、繁簡不一，具體處理方法也要有所不同。選項都比較短時，可采用掃視法。掃讀選項，大體了叫內容。當選項較長時，可分兩步處理：第一步，縱觀全文，以發現其共同成分；第二步，采用豎讀方法，著重看區別。選項（尤其是較長的選項）之間往往有相同的內容。

聽力原文
Questions 1～4：
M：I think we’d better go over my schedule, Irene. I’m going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I’ll be visiting a number of countries, I’d like you to make the bookings.
W：Right, Mr. Buck. I’ll take down the details.
M：Well, I’m leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I’m going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there’s a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening.
W：Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then?
M：I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We’ re going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland.
W：So when are you leaving for Paris?
M：First flight on Saturday morning. I’m planning to meet my wife there. She’s going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we’ll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr. Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I’ll need a double room.
W：How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr. Buck?
M：Only till Monday evening. I’m going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I’m due in Madrid to inspect the new factory.
W：And that’s the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly form Madrid?
M：Yes, on the first plane out on Thursday. We must be back on Friday, the 25th. It’s my daughter Sharon’s birthday.
