1. 读题干
题干的重点通常在于：特殊名词(人名、地名、年份等大写和数字)，以及特殊情况。所以该考题的重点人物是Marcos tutor, 通过人物定位得出：该题的引导者(也就是我们所谓的信号词)大致出自Marco, 而该题的答案大致出自他的tutor。
信号词：特殊情境
该题的特殊情境是：select a course(答案信号词)。
Summary(总结)：通过题干的重点提炼，我们可以得出，对话双方谁是答案引导者，谁是答案叙述者。直接引导出答案的信号词是什么。
2. 选项分析
雅思听力选择题答案大致可分为三类：
(1). 被直接或间接地支持(Directly or indirectly supported)
(2). 直接或间接地矛盾(Directly or indirectly contradicted)
(3). 并未提及(Not mentioned)
而在多项选择题目中，尤其是7选3的题目，大多数情况是3个直接或者间接支持(肯定)，3个直接或者间接矛盾(否定)，1个选项是没有提及的。所以，各位考生的第二步骤是选项的阅读和关键词的提炼。
A选项关键词：specialization(因为possibility只是修饰specialization)
B选项关键词：career(future只是修饰词，修饰career)
C选项关键词：interest(personal是interest的修饰词)
D选项关键词：organization
E选项关键词：assessment
F选项关键词：range
G选项关键词：reputation
Summary(总结)：通过选项阅读划出1-2个关键词。关键词通常是该句子或者短语的核心词汇或者话题词汇。关键词通常是我们常见的可做paraphrase(同义替换)的词汇。
3. 原文录音定位比对
答案引导定位：各位考生可以看到，通过信号词select course可以定位出该多项选择题的答案在这里即将出现。
T: Hi Marco, come in.
M: Thanks. Ive got a bit stuck trying to select courses for next semester. Could you help me, please?
选项确定。
T: Of course. Sit down. First of all, most people just go for the areas of business that theyre interested in, but-even if something doesnt look very stimulating-its important that you can use it once you get a job. Its not much good choosing areas that arent going to be helpful later on.
选项C和B定位，关键词interest和job(career同义替换)，转折词but肯定后面部分否定前面部分，所以选择B排除C。
M: Right. I want to go into management, so Ill need to think about that. And should I start specializing in a particular area yet?
T: I dont think thats wise, at this stage. Its better to aim for a wide variety of subjects, especially as management covers so many possibilities. You shouldnt be limiting your choices for later on.
选项A和F定位，信号词specialising(specialization同义词)和wide variety of subjects(range同义替换)，否定词dont否定specialization, 建议类词汇d better肯定range of subjects, 所以选择F排除A。
M: Yes I see.
T: You should also look at how the course is made up-will you have regular seminars and tutorials, for example, as well as lectures?
M: OK. Some of the lecturers are quite big names in their fields, arent they? Should I aim to go to their courses?
T: Well remember that the lecturers who arent well-known may still be very good teachers! Id say we have a consistently high standard of teaching in this department, so you dont need to worry about it.
选项D和G定位，信号词made up(organization同义替换)，big names(reputation同义替换)，建议性的短语you should also肯定made up(既organization)，否定词arent well-known否定reputation, 所以选择D排除G。
选项E关于assessment(考评)并未提及。
4. 排除干扰项，同义替换
通常在多项选择题里面，肯定(支持)和否定(矛盾)选项都是成组出现的。正确选项会出现肯定类的词汇，干扰选项会出现否定词或者后面紧接转折词，同义转换词多数时候是正确选项的暗示，而原词出现多数是陷阱。各位考生需要多累积常用词汇的同义转换单词。
5. 得出正确选项
以这个example的正确答案是B, D, F。
值得考生们注意的是，在多项选择题里面，所有的选项都是需要看的，不要看到一个认为是正确的选项而忽略了其他的选项，因为通常只会有0-1个选项完全不会提及，为了肯定我们选择的正确性，应该同时确定排除的选项都是被录音否定过的。
在雅思听力考试中我们要注意以下几点：
✔ 提前读题非常重要，寻找题干信号词和选项的关键词，并且划出所有关键单词，以便知道应该留意的字和句;
✔ 随时准备答题，有时候题目的答案会在很早的时候，甚至是第一句就出现第一次的肯定
✔词汇的累积非常重要，尤其是常用词汇以及它们的同义替换;
✔注意陷阱选项：转折词、否定词等等;
✔检查一次答案，并且猜测所有听不到或听不懂的答案，千万不要留空。
