英语听力在线听|英语听力：人物关系、职业、身份
关于人物关系、职业、身份等相关方面的听力试题要求在某一特定环境下，对说话人的身份进行推理与判断。该项内容的考查多是以who或what开头的特殊疑问句，其常问方式有：
What is the man （woman）？
What’s the man’s （woman’s） occupation （职业）？
Who is the man speaker?
What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
解这类试题时，我们可根据对话内容所提供的称呼语并结合生活常识进行判断。如：听到“Dear teacher”就可判断出二者之间为师生关系；听到“My dear, darling”就可判断为夫妻或其他家庭成员（如母子、父女等）之间的关系；听到“Can I help you?”或“What can I do for you?”就可判断为服务员与顾客之间的关系。所以，在平时的学习中，熟悉特定的场景用语和关键词，这对我们更好地解答有关人物关系、对话发生地点的题目会很有帮助。常见的特殊地点用语如下：
餐馆用语：restaurant, menu, bill, order, tip, hamburger, sandwich, soup, dish, beer, soft drink等；
医院用语：hospital, take medicine, temperature, pill, headache, fever, blood pressure等；
宾馆用语：hotel, luggage, single room, double room, room number等；
邮局用语：post office, mail, deliver, stamp, envelope, telegram等；
机场用语：airport, flight, take off, land等；
车站用语：railway station, round trip, single trip, sleeping car等；
商店用语：shop, on sale, size, color, price, change等；
学校用语：school, professor, exam, course, dining hall, playground等。
请看一个实例：
What is the relationship between the speakers? （全国卷）
A. They are friends.
B. They are strangers to each other.
C. They are husband and wife.
相应的录音原文是：
W: Excuse me, sir?
M: Can I help you?
W: My name is Jane Smith. I’m a designer, looking for a job.
M: See my secretary. She will set you up with the test.
W: When?
M: Next month.
W: I can’t wait that long.
M: Excuse me?
W: I can’t wait a month. I need something sooner.
M: I’m sorry.
此题要求判断听力原文中两者之间的关系，同学们只要抓住其中的My name is Jane Smith并结合常识，则很容易判断两者的关系是陌生人，如果是朋友或夫妻关系，那用得着介绍吗？故答案为B。
请再看一个实例：
Who is the woman talking to? （北京卷）
A. A student.
B. A teacher.
C. A secretary.
相应的录音原文是：
W: Oh, Frank’s in your class? He was in my class last term. I didn’t like him at all.
M: What? You didn’t like Frank? He’s one of my best students.
W: Oh, no. Not Frank! He was always asking questions. Frank always interrupted me and the other students. He was never quiet.
M: Yes, that’s Frank. That’s why he is such a good student. He is always thinking and trying to use English. He laughs a lot. Frank doesn’t worry about making mistakes. I enjoy having him in class.
W: Not me. I love students like David. Do you have him in your conversation class this term?
M: Yes, but to be honest, David is too quiet for me. I can’t tell if he’s learning. David is so silent. He doesn’t say anything.
W: Yes, that’s David. That’s how good students should be. They have to listen to their teachers.
注意题干的提问方式，其实际是问听力原文中男人的身份。了解这一点后，听力过程中就有了很明确的方向。根据男人的第一次对话中的He’s one of my best students就可以判定男人的身份是老师，这是一场两位老师谈论最喜欢的学生的对话。故答案为B。
