涉及地点的短对话中的场景基本上都是大家所熟悉的，比如校园、生活、工作以及各种社交场所。在听力测试中，判断谈话的地点或谈话中涉及的方向是经常会出现的题型。常见的提问形式有：
Where does this conversation probably take place？
Where did it happen？
Where is...？
正确解答这类题型的关键在于：
You will hear：
Man：May I help you？
Woman：Yes， I’d like to cash these travelers’ checks first， and then open a savings account.
Question：Where does this conversation probably take place？
You will read：
A. In a department store.
B. In a bank.
C. At a tourist bureau.
D. At a hotel.
对话中的关键词是cash，check和account，说明谈话是有关支票和账目方面的事，而从谈话中的关键信息cash these traveler’s checks和open a savings account可确定谈话人所处地点是在银行，所以答案应为B项。
You will hear：
Man：Excuse me， is this seat taken？
Woman：I don’t think so. That man has had his lunch and left a few minutes ago.
Question：Where does this conversation most likely take place？
You will read：
A. In the theater.
B. In the library.
C. In the restaurant.
D. In the railway station.
对话中的关键词是is this seat taken和had his lunch and left，由此可以判断谈话人所处地点是在餐馆，所以答案应为C项。
