　　Conversation One篇幅較長，這給考生在短時間內從大量信息中尋找答案制造了困難。不過，如果考生再回過頭仔細去看看對話中加底紋的部分，就可以發現這些部分就是4道題目的答案出處，而且每次答案的出現幾乎都伴隨著一個問題。這首先就說明了一點，幾乎每每遇到問答的形式都是考官青睞的考點，而且考試的重點往往落在答語上。這一點和短對話中體現的原則不謀而合，而且短對話中的建議請求原則也和此處的情況極相似。另外，還有一個特點考生觀察后不難發現，并不是每一組問答都被作為考點，而作為考試重點的幾組問題之間關聯性是不大的。換句話來說，一個問題考查了對話的主題，從第二個問題開始分別考查了new business strategy所呈現的3方面問題。其中每一個方面選擇了一個最重要的問題來考查，這一點又和以往的短文理解考查方法很相似，特別是人物生平發展或者故事類的題目很相似，每一方面的內容只考查一道題目，而且出題的順序和對話或短文的順序基本上是一致的。
