Student
Hi, I need to pick up the gym pass。
Employee
OK. I'll need your name, year, and university ID。
Student
Here's my ID card. And my name is Gina Kent, and I'm first year。
Employee
OK. I'll type up the pass for you right away。
Student
Great! This is exciting. I can't wait to get started。
Employee
Oh, this is a wonderful gym。
Student
That's what everybody's been saying. Everyone is talking about the new
pool, the new indoor courts. But what I love is all the classes。
Employee
The classes?
Student
Like the swimming and tennis classes and everything。
Employee
Oh yeah, but this pass doesn't entitle you to those。
Student
It doesn't?
Employee
No, the classes fall into a separate category。
Student
But, that's my whole reason for getting a pass. I mean, I was planning
to take a swimming class。
Employee
But that's not how it works. This pass gives you access to the gym and
to all the equipment, into the pool and so forth. But not with team
practicing, so you have to check the schedule。
Student
But what do I have to do if I want to take a class?
Employee
You have to: one, register; and two, pay the fee for the class。
Student
But that's not fair。
本题的问题是：
Why does the woman's initial excitement urn to disappointment?
A She is told that all swimming classes are full。
B She learns that she will have to pay extra for classes。
C She finds out that there are no swimming classes at her level。
D She thought all sports activities were supervised by coaches。
这里面解题的关键点在于X处，首先是Employee说了Oh yeah, but this pass doesn't entitle you to those。此句话表明，这个学生已经没有参加课程的权利了。但是到这里还不够，因为仅仅说到了这个学生不能参加这个课程，还没有说到为什么不能参加这个课程。因此我们还需要向下听。其间的诸多内容还是在说这个学生不能参加这个课程，以及对gym使用内容的描述，直到Employee说到了You have to: one, register; and two, pay the fee for the class。才说到了point，也就是说到了原因，就是因为这个课程是需要付费的，因此这个学生才不能仅凭一个ID card就进入到游泳班里面。
当我们知道这个原因之后，反过来观察几个选项。我们会发现几个选项，仅就成为不能参加这个课程的原因来说，除了最后一个D选项，其他的A、B、C三个选项都是可以的。但是由于原问题到了是因为要付费才能参加，那么我们就要更仔细的审视这几个选项。第一个选项说是这个班级人满了;第二个选项说是要参加这个课程要单独付钱;第三个说是没有他这个水平的班级。
很明显这里提到付钱这个层次的只有B选项，因此正确答案为B选项。
这就是将原文之中的付钱，与选项B之中的需要额外付款联系了起来，这就是怎么由原文推导出正确答案。我们现在反观新托福考试的听力真题，我们会发现现在的由原文推导出正确答案。不再是以前的我们只需要对一句话进行准确理解，就可以得到正确答案的。很明显在这套题里面体现出，是由原文的Employee说了Oh yeah, but this pass doesn't entitle you to those。以及You have to: one,register; and two, pay the fee for the class。才得出正确答案B选项。显然现在的iBT新托福听力真题往往是需要对于文章的整体的理解，也就是对于文章的整体逻辑有一个全盘的理解才能得到正确的答案。
这个例子就是一个很完整的“文章与正确答案的衔接”，在整个的听力准备过程中，可以说这一步是最容易做的，同时见效也是最快的。但是，要注意这是在完成了前面的单词、听写、文章理解三个部分之后，再来谈才是有意义的。否则只能是空中楼阁，见得到，摸不着，切记!切记!
