再看一例，本次考试第14题：

　　M：Professor Smith asked me to go to his office after class. So it is impossible for me to make it to the bar at ten.

　　W：Then it seems that we’ll have to meet an hour later at the library.

　　Q：What will the man do first after class?

　　同样，第二个人说话的“尾词”是library，考生听的特别清楚，大部分考生都以为跟图书馆有关，所以就选择了A项Go to the library，其实错了。犯的错误依然是只抓了“尾词”而忽略了前面的重要内容，掉进了命题人的“陷阱”。

　　请再看本次考试最后一题18题：

　　M：The taxi driver must be speeding.

　　W：Well, not really. He crashed into the tree because he was trying not to hit a box that had fallen from a truck ahead of him.

　　Q：What do we learn about the taxi driver?

　　第二个人说话的“尾词”是一个短语a truck ahead of him，而本题D项He was trying to overtake the truck ahead of him.就有这个短语，但其实，我们可以从分析这段听力原文的角度来看，从that开始的句子是一个定语从句，是用来修饰先行词box的，这并不是重点，而每道听力题都是在考察对话的延伸意义或称为“言下之意”，这些做修饰成分的短语和句子是不会考察的。这同样是符合我刚才谈到的“尾词是陷阱”原则的。

　　在平时的复习中，大家可以抓住这些内容慢慢体会，听力是慢活，希望大家在循序渐进的听力训练中达到能力与技巧的同步提高！
