　　常见的地点场景提问方式：

　　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】 提前积累地点(bookstore、workshop、art gallery、department store)相关信息词汇。原文中出现的oil painting，18th century work与C选项中的art gallery(美术馆)词汇同现。所以选答案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】 播音前积累地点(bank、school、clothing store、barbershop)相关信息词汇。这题陷阱极多，我们来一一分解：had studied是过去完成时，仅表示面试前的知识准备，而非在学校工作;bought a good suit和had my hair cut也是面试前的过去动作，而不是将要去的地方;finance and economics是银行中的信息词，也是M学习的科目，故选A。
