Conversation One篇幅較長(zhǎng)，這給考生在短時(shí)間內(nèi)從大量信息中尋找答案制造了困難。不過，如果考生再回過頭仔細(xì)去看看對(duì)話中加底紋的部分，就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這些部分就是4道題目的答案出處，而且每次答案的出現(xiàn)幾乎都伴隨著一個(gè)問題。這首先就說明了一點(diǎn)，幾乎每每遇到問答的形式都是考官青睞的考點(diǎn)，而且考試的重點(diǎn)往往落在答語上。這一點(diǎn)和短對(duì)話中體現(xiàn)的原則不謀而合，而且短對(duì)話中的建議請(qǐng)求原則也和此處的情況極相似。另外，還有一個(gè)特點(diǎn)考生觀察后不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，并不是每一組問答都被作為考點(diǎn)，而作為考試重點(diǎn)的幾組問題之間關(guān)聯(lián)性是不大的。換句話來說，一個(gè)問題考查了對(duì)話的主題，從第二個(gè)問題開始分別考查了new business strategy所呈現(xiàn)的3方面問題。其中每一個(gè)方面選擇了一個(gè)最重要的問題來考查，這一點(diǎn)又和以往的短文理解考查方法很相似，特別是人物生平發(fā)展或者故事類的題目很相似，每一方面的內(nèi)容只考查一道題目，而且出題的順序和對(duì)話或短文的順序基本上是一致的。
