“列举”出题原则
雅思听力段落中，最具有规律性的出题暗示，就是列举或增补联系信号词句。一旦出现，就预示着下面的内容是对说明对象进行横向或纵向的分类介绍(或信息添加)。更重要的是，它们常常伴随着下一个考点的引出。
{真题范例}
Which THREE attractions can you visit at present by train from Trebirch?
A a science museum
B a theme park
C a climbing wall
D a mining museum
E an aquarium
F a castle
G a zoo
( 剑桥真题 6 Test 2 Section 2 Question 18—20 )
本题答案： C、D、G。
原文录音： CUSTOMER: Thanks. And are there lots of places to go to around here?
RAILPERSON: Oh yes. You can enjoy many days out. Um there’s the Merthyr Mining Museum, which is only half an hour from Trebirch by train. Your children will find it just as fascinating as any theme park and they can ride in the original miners’ lifts and on the coal trains. There are special excursion tickets which include entrance fees. Mainline trains also offer direct services to Bristol, where you can visit the docks or spend a great day out with the children in the zoo, which is set in the parkland that used to surround the old castle. Er, special family a-way-day fares are available for this service now during the school holidays. Er, alternatively, you can be in Birmingham in only an hour and a half, where there’s lots to see and do including the new and internationally -acclaimed climbing wall built on the site of the old aquarium. We will also be running a special service to Newport when the new science museum opens next year, as we anticipate a lot of visitors in the opening weeks. I’d advise you to call early to book your tickets. Is that OK?
破题密码： 题目： Which THREE attractions can you visit at present by train from Trebirch?
(如今可以从Trebirch坐火车到哪三个景点参观?)
第一条列举提示：Um, there’s……
(那里有一个。。。。。。)
RAILPERSON在一开始就提出Um there’s the Merthyr Mining Museum, which is only half an hour from Trebirch by train.(坐火车从Trebirch只要半个小时就可以到Merthyr矿业博物馆)与题目对应，所以答案D正确。
第二条列举提示：…….also offer……
(同时也提供。。。。。。)
RAILPERSON之后提到Mainline trains also offer direct services to Bristol, where you can visit the docks or spend a great day out with the children in the zoo,……(列车主要行线同时也提供直达列车到布里斯托，在那里你可以参观船坞，或花一整天和孩子们在动物园里玩耍。。。)和题目对应，所以答案G正确。
