【Bruce Rogers - 托业考试(TOEIC)试题】
2.Questions/Responses
Format
------
This part of TOEIC consists of thirty items. Each item consists of a question on the audio
program followed by three possible responses (answers) to the question, also on the audio program.
Your job is to decide which of these three best answers the question. Between each item is a five
-second pause. Part II problems do not involve any reading skills; therefore, this part is
considered a "pure" test of listening skills. Your test book simply tells you to mark an answer
for each problem.
Tactics
-------
1. There are no answer choices to consider before or while the item is being read. You should
just concentrate on the question and the three responses on the audio program, and pay no
attention to the test book.
2. Try to identify the type of question (information question, yes/no question, alternative
question, and so on). The correct response, of course, often depends on the type of question being
asked.
3. Try to eliminate distractors.
4. Don't mark an answer until you have heard all three responses. When you hear a response
that you think is correct, rest your pencil on that oval on the answer sheet. If you change your
mind and hear a response that you think is better, move your pencil to that choice. Once you have
heard all three responses, mark the oval that your pencil is resting on. (This technique helps you
remember which choice you think is best.)
5. If you hear all three responses and none of the three seems correct, take a guess and get
ready for the next item.
6. There is very little time (only five seconds) between items in Part II. You need to decide
on an answer and fill in the blank quickly to be ready for the next item.
