29、（一）灵活的设问方式 从二级真题可以看出，有些听力题难点体现在设问上。设问本身需要听者从材料推断、总结而来。以本套题最后一段独白的17题和19题为例。,17题：What meals did most chefs like best according to the survey?这道题的设问很巧妙，材料中并没有直接告知大多数厨师喜欢什么菜，而是从喜欢各类菜的人数比例才能对此做出判断，所以设问和回答都需要听者做出推断才能理解。此题避免了传统的提问：How many chefs like childhood favorites best?同时也避免了与下面一题提问方式的雷同。,19题：What w
30、as the surprising finding of the survey?这道题的设问必须从The best cooks in the world would pick McDonalds or KFC over anything else if they had the choice of what to eat. It sort of makes you think, doesnt it?这几句话中推断总结得来。,(二) 有一定难度的选项设置 本套题有大量的灵活题，正确选项不能从材料直接获取，需从原文加以推断、总结、或对原文进行同义转述方能得出。有9个推断题，分别是2、3、5、6、1
31、3、16、17、19、20。第4、12、15题需对原文相关信息进行综合总结。第7和14题是典型的同义转述题。,总体而言，本套模拟题顺应二级听力考试的要求，注重考查考生的英语语言交际能力。对考生的听力能力、理解推断能力和英语语言灵活应用的能力提出了更高的要求，学生既要听懂材料，还要能在短时间内做出判断。所以建议学生在平时的训练中做到以下几点：（1）选用符合二级考试标准的材料与试题，有针对性地加强听力训练，适应不同的语速、语音，注意泛听与精听的结合，提升学生适应灵活性题目的能力；（2）在英语语言学习的过程中，理解与把握字、词、句的同义表达和同义转述，同时注重跨文化知识方面的学习；（3）老师需要从整体上熟悉和揣摩不同的出题方式与题目设问特点。,
