2)职业、身份

(1)说话者自身的身份或职业
根据谈话内容判断说话者一方的职业或身份:
① W: Good evening, Professor David. My name is Susan Gray. I'm with the local newspaper. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
M: Not at all. Go ahead, please.
Q: What is Susan Gray?
A. A writer.
B. A teacher.
C. A reporter.
D. A student.
由local newspaper可以判断说话者是位记者,在采访。答案为C。

Q: Who is the man most probably speaking to?

与order有关的自然是waitress,答案为C。
(2)说话双方之间的关系
该题型是上一题型的延伸,要求同学们能判断说话者双方的身份,问题经常是 What's the relationship between
the two speakers?
① W: How long will it take you to fix my watch?

a week.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

W: I think we've got one. Could you wait until after take-off
please?
