暗 示 题
暗示题是考生丢分量最大的题型，因为其答案比较隐蔽，需要大家按原文所给的信息进行分析和推测，在做这种题时，头脑需冷静，不要盲目作答，其答案已在原文中给了暗示，但需要辨别哪些是陷阱，哪一个是正确选项。
【例1】 2000.6
M: Would you like a copy of Professor Smith’s article?
W: Thanks, If it’s not too much trouble.
Q: What does the woman imply?
A) She is not interested in the article.
B) She has given the man much trouble.
C) She would like to have a copy of the article.
D) She doesn’t want to take the trouble to read the article.
【解析】 女士在回答是否需要帮助时用到“if it’s not too much trouble（如果不会带来太多麻烦的话）”，暗示礼貌地接受，也是西方礼仪文化的一部分，所以选择C。
【例2】 2004.1
M: I’m exhausted; I stayed up the whole night studying for my midterm maths exam.
W: But why do you always wait until the last minute?
Q: What does the woman imply?
A) The man is usually the last to hand in his test paper.
B) The man has made a mess of his midterm exam.
C) The man has bad study habits.
D) The man is a diligent student.
【解析】 原文中的“Why do you always wait until the last minute（临时抱佛脚）”，暗示男士总是临近考试才学习，因此选项C“他学习习惯不好”为正确答案，其他选项都不符。
