　　常見的地點場景提問方式：
　　① Where does this conversation must probably/likely take place?
　　② Where are the man and woman at the moment?
　　③ Where are the two speakers?
　　④ Where did it happen?
　　⑤ Where is the man probably going to work?
　　【例1】 2001.1
　　M: Can you tell me the title of this oil painting?
　　W: Sorry, I don’t know for sure. But I guess it’s an early 18th century work. Let me look it up in the catalog.
　　Q: Where does their conversation most probably take place?
　　A) At a bookstore B) In a workshop
　　C) At an art gallery D) In a department store
　　【解析】 提前積累地點（bookstore、workshop、art gallery、department store）相關信息詞匯。原文中出現的oil painting，18th century work與C選項中的art gallery（美術館）詞匯同現。所以選答案C。
　　【例2】 2002.1
　　W: You seem very confident about the job interview, don’t you?
　　M: Yes, I feel ready for it. I bought a good suit in a clothing store. I had my hair cut. I have studied almost everything about finance and economics.
　　Q: Where is the man probably going to work?
　　A) In a bank B) In a school
　　C) In a clothing store D) In a barbershop
　　【解析】 播音前積累地點（bank、school、clothing store、barbershop）相關信息詞匯。這題陷阱極多，我們來一一分解：had studied是過去完成時，僅表示面試前的知識準備，而非在學校工作；bought a good suit和had my hair cut也是面試前的過去動作，而不是將要去的地方；finance and economics是銀行中的信息詞，也是M學習的科目，故選A。
　　1. A) At a newsstand. B) At a car dealer’s.
　　C) At a publishing house. D) At a newspaper office.
　　2. A) At a theatre. B) At a booking office.
