M：Well。I’ve got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s，and I’m really snuggling.There are hundreds of books，and I just don’t know where to begin.
W：Your topic sounds pretty big.Why don’t you narrow it down tO something like，uh，the history 0f the studios during that time?
M：You know，1 was thinking about doing that，but more than 30 books came up when I typed in“movie studios.
W：You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want.Try adding“1930s or“1940's’’or maybe“Golden Age.
M：“Golden Age’’is a good idea.Let me type that in….Hey，look，just 6 books this time.That’s a lot better.
W：Oh…another thing you might consider..，have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles.
M：No，I’ve only been searching for books.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

25.Where can the man find the relevant magazine articles?
从对话中加底纹的答案出处我们再次发现，Conversation Two与Conversation One非常相似。主要是问答式的考点，分层次的考查，建议请求的运用。这两则对话还采用了短文理解的一个重要的考场方式，就是在对话的开头部分一定会出题目。这一点的考查利用的是考生往往很难在一个段落刚开始的时候集中注意力，所以这时候考查的题目难度就显得很高。
综上所述，长对话并不可怕，它结合了短对话对问答句式，建议请求，做这样的题目往往需要具备综合的素质，既要注意其中的细节，又要注意整体的把握，还要能够应付7道题目的题量，这比以往的四级题目对综合能力的要求显著提高了。所以，建议考生在练习长对话的时候可多以托福考试听力真题Part B的中大量的长对话题目作为练习材料。
