61. 卡片 61

67. 卡片 67

68. 卡片 68

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — how does a question word narrow the answer?

    答案

    It signals the information needed. For example, when calls for a time, while why calls for a reason.

69. 卡片 69

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — why can a response without yes or no fit a yes-or-no question?

    答案

    An indirect reply can still answer the real question. The lab closes at six can explain whether there is time to visit it.

70. 卡片 70

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — what makes a reply suitable for a request?

    答案

    It accepts, refuses, or addresses the requested action naturally. A reply about the same topic can still miss the request.

71. 卡片 71

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — what is the updated Listening section's published base length?

    答案

    47 items in about 29 minutes. ETS notes that item count and time may vary as the section adapts.

72. 卡片 72

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — how should you handle a negatively worded question?

    答案

    Work out the speaker's actual concern before choosing. Do not select an option only because it repeats the negative word.

73. 卡片 73

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — what is the repeated-word trap?

    答案

    A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.

74. 卡片 74

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — what should you do with an unfamiliar expression?

    答案

    Infer its function from tone and context. You often need the speaker's intent more than a word-for-word definition.

75. 卡片 75

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — when two options are grammatical, what decides between them?

    答案

    Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.

76. 卡片 76

    问题

    Listen and Choose a Response — what does multistage adaptive mean for the Listening section?

    答案

78. 卡片 78

    问题

    Main ideas, key details, speaker intent, and implied meaning. Listen for both what is said and why it is said.

79. 卡片 79

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — how can you capture the main idea in one line?

    答案

    Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.

80. 卡片 80

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?

    答案

    Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.

81. 卡片 81

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — what compact note pattern fits a problem-solving exchange?

    答案

    Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.

82. 卡片 82

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — which details are most worth writing down?

    答案

    Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.

83. 卡片 83

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?

    答案

    Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.

84. 卡片 84

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?

    答案

    Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.

85. 卡片 85

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?

    答案

    Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.

86. 卡片 86

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?

    答案

    Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.

87. 卡片 87

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?

    答案

    Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.

88. 卡片 88

    问题

    Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?

    答案

    A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.

89. 卡片 89

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?

    答案

    In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.

90. 卡片 90

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — which abilities does the task measure?

93. 卡片 93

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — which words often signal a change to an earlier plan?

    答案

    Words such as instead, now, rescheduled, and rather than. Put the updated information in your notes, not just the original plan.

94. 卡片 94

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — how should you record a reason and its result?

    答案

    Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.

95. 卡片 95

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?

    答案

    Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.

96. 卡片 96

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — what makes an implied conclusion safe?

    答案

    It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.

97. 卡片 97

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?

    答案

    Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.

98. 卡片 98

    问题

    Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?

    答案

    The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.

99. 卡片 99

    问题

    Listen to an Academic Talk — what kind of audio do you hear?

    答案

    A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.

100. 卡片 100

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — do you need specialist knowledge of the subject?

     答案

     No. ETS uses varied academic fields, but the information needed to answer comes from the talk itself.

101. 卡片 101

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — which kinds of understanding does ETS target?

     答案

     Main ideas, supporting details, organization, inferences, and sometimes uncommon or idiomatic vocabulary.

102. 卡片 102

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you phrase the main idea in your notes?

     答案

     Write the topic plus the professor's central point about it. A bare subject name does not capture the talk's direction.

103. 卡片 103

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — which common structures should you listen for?

     答案

     Comparison, cause and effect, a sequence, a definition with examples, or a problem with a solution. The structure shows how details connect.

104. 卡片 104

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what do signposts such as first, however, and as a result reveal?

     答案

     The relationship between ideas. They can mark sequence, contrast, or consequence before the content is complete.

105. 卡片 105

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how can you tell why the speaker gives an example?

     答案

     答案

     Name both subjects and record one shared feature or key difference. Keep each feature aligned with the correct subject.

107. 卡片 107

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what note symbol clarifies a causal chain?

108. 卡片 108

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you record a new term?

     答案

     Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.

109. 卡片 109

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what makes an inference stronger than a guess?

     答案

     It combines the speaker's claim, supporting detail, and tone. A reasonable fact from outside the talk is still not enough.

110. 卡片 110

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how can context unlock an uncommon word?

     答案

     Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.

111. 卡片 111

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you interpret an idiomatic phrase?

     答案

     Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.

112. 卡片 112

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what note hierarchy keeps details useful?

     答案

     Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.

113. 卡片 113

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?

     答案

     It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.

114. 卡片 114

     问题

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?

     答案

     Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.
