OG中重听题被描述为“The study of the way in which language is used to express what sb really means in particular situations, especially when the actual words used may appear to mean sth different.”从OG 中我们不难看出，所谓重听题考察的是大家对某人在特定情境下所表达话术的理解，而且这些话术往往具有某些弦外之音。
俗话说：知己知彼，百战不殆。在探索重听题的解题策略之前，我们先来看一下重听题的基本题型特征：
题干: Listen again to part of the conversation/ lecture, and then answer the question.
位置: Conversation or Lecture 的最后一题
解题: 不符合顺序原则(音频中任意疑问，反问及语气发生变化的句子)
问题形式：
1. What does the professor mean when she says this? (单纯重听题)
2. What does the woman imply when she says this? (重听和推断相结合)
重听题的解题思路分两步走：找准互动主体，选择互动选项。
第一步：找准互动主体
所谓互动主题指的是题干中的说话者，以上面的问题形式为例，句一和句二的主体分别为the professor和 the woman。因此大家在重听句中应重点关注the professor和the woman的说话内容。
第二步：选择互动选项
所谓互动选项是指所听和所选具有某些共性特征，我们也可以把这种特征大体分为同义和近义的互动。
光说不练假把式，下面我们结合真题演练一下。
例一：Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question.
What does the professor mean when she says this ?
She will give the man extra credit if he rewrites his paper.
She is willing to extend the deadline for the man’s paper.
The man will probably not be able to finish his paper within a week.
The man should have started his paper sooner.
解析：此题是一道重听题，题目中的互动主体为the professor，题目中this 所指代的重听句为Professor: Would an extra week ease the pain? 在做这道题之前，大原原老师先为大家科普一下整篇对话发生的背景，这篇对话是一个常见的改论文场景，根据教授的建议学生需要修改他的大部分论文。因此教授决定多给他额外的一周，并询问他 Would an extra week ease the pain? (即本题的重听句)。听完重听句后让我们浏览四个选项并选择最具“互动”的一个。不难发现B选项的extend the deadline延长截至日期和我们所选的extra week 额外的一周是同义替换的关系，因此此题的正确选项为B。
例二：Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question.
What does the professor imply when he says this?
Students must have taken a course in the technique featured in the exhibition.
Exhibiting in the university gallery is a degree required for art majors.
Artwork submitted by a first-year students will probably not be accepted
The woman should submit her painting soon because the deadline is approaching.
解析：此题为一道重听题，题目中的互动主体为the professor, 题目中this所指代的重听句为Professor：Generally our exhibitors are third and fourth-year students, well into their coursework. 在做本道重听题之前，大原原老师还是按惯例为宝宝们普及一下这篇对话发生的背景，此篇对话中学生想要参加学校举办的绘画展览，因此在询问教授怎样才能够有资格参加展览。教授对学生说通常来说我们参加展览的都是大三或大四的学生，并且课堂表现很好(本题的重听句)。接下来让我们一起分析选项并选择最为“互动”的一个。不难看出C选项的first-year students 和重听句中的 third and fourth-year students具备近义即数字的互动，因此正确答案为C。
