从2016年考试开始，听力中长对话的组数由原来的3组缩减为2组，题目总数未发生变化，仍然为10题，其题目分布情况是两组各设5题。长对话内容较长，考生不太容易抓住关键信息，增加了解题难度。如果考生能够了解长对话的设题点，知道在一段较长的对话中出题人通常会在什么地方设题，考生就可以有的放矢地记笔记，迅速抓住关键信息从而准确解题。
对话的开头处通常会引出要讨论内容的主题，而结尾处也常会有一些总结性、呼应主题的内容，针对这两部分的内容，考生一定要多加留心，勤做笔记。

M: Ten? That's quite a few. And do you enjoy going to job interviews?

B. Canada.

【解析】 细节题。本题的出题点在对话问答处。题目问：哪个国家人均使用石油最多？对话中男士问女士是否知道哪个国家使用石油的量最大，女士回答说：“世界上三分之一的石油流向了北美，而其中最糟糕的（使用石油量最多的）是美国，每年人均使用汽油量达459加仑。”所以本题应选C。
在对话中被说话者反复提及和强调的内容应该是重要细节。强调的方式多种多样，比如语调、重复等。当说话者音发得很重、说得很慢或者有停顿的时候，这些地方往往都是说话者强调的地方。强调的另一种非常明显的方式就是重复。因此，在对话中重复的地方，往往都是设题点所在。重复的内容有两种，一种是某个词的重复，一种是意思的重复，也就是同义复现。

Q10: Why do some people enjoy risks?
A. They get pleasure from risks.
B. They can control potential risks.
C. They can assess danger from risks.
D. They have strong needs for risks.
W: Yes, that's a good point, Jack! People feel they are in control of risks that stretch over time. You know, they think, “I could stop tomorrow” or “I could smoke less”. Eh, but what about people who really enjoy taking big risks—those thrill-seekers out there?
