二、地点与方向题型： 在地点型试题中，有的地点在对话中直接提到，有的则需要根据对话内容来判断(这类问题一般是问对话发生在何处)，还有的则是两者兼而有之。
卷面线索
选项通常由(介词+)地点名词构成，提问可分为两种情况。第一种问对话发生在何处，选项的形式通常为表示方位的介词(如in, at等)加上一个地点名词构成；第二种问的是方向，选项的形式通常为表示方向的介词(如to, from, out of等)加上一个地点名词或者只有地点名词构成。
解题要点：
(1) 首先要根据卷面线索判断出试题的类型。对于第一种试题，要重点听对话中的与特定地点有关的常用词或词组(即关键词)，例如听到reserve，check in，check out，room之类的词的话即可判断对话是发生在旅馆里，听到size，color，pay，discount之类的词即可判断对话地点是在商店等。
(2) 与方向有关的词和词组并不多，所提出的问题在形式上也可能比较简单，但是这类问题出现时，往往需要几经思考才能得出答案。在这类问题中，务必要注意录音中的内容细节，不要单凭从对话中获得的孤立信息来确定答案。建议在听音的同时用笔在纸上画一些草图以帮助理解。
(3)与时间题不同，有的地点题可通过逻辑判断猜出正确的答案，平时要注意这方面能力的培养。
听力真题原文一：
A)At the Sun Valley.
B) At the Health Center.
C) At home
D) At Work.
M：Good afternoon This is Edward Miller at the Sun Valley Health Center I’d like to speak to Mr Adams, please.
W：Mr Miller, my husband isn’t at home I can give you his business phone if you’d like to call him at work.
Q：Where is Mr Adams now?
答案D)。本题表面是很简单，因为对话中有直接提示词At work,它与D)项完全相同。此外，his buisness phone(他的办公电话)也能给我们一定的提示。
听力原文真题二：
A) At the airport.
B) In a travel agency.
C) In a hotel
D) At home
M： I’ve just got back from the holiday you arranged for me, but I must tell you the hotel was really awful! It was miles from the sea. The food was awful too. The bedroom was dirty.
W： Sorry about that but it’s not really our fault. The contract does say that the hotel accommodation is not our responsibility
Q： Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
此题对话中虽有地点名词出现(hotel)，但明显不是答案。本题考的是推理能力。根据hotel等关键词，可推断对话的话题与旅行有关。而从W的话中的arrange, contract等词，可以判断出这是一家旅行社(B)。本题说明，在听对话时，要对关键词特别注意，但又不能认为关键词就是答案。
听力原文真题三：
A)In the side street.
B) At the crossroads.
C) On the main road
D) On the motorway.
M：Now, Miss, do you feel all right now? What happened?
W：Yes, I’m fine now. I was just at the motorway I was driving along the main road when suddenly right before the crossroads I met the car came out at the side street I didn’t see him until he hit me.
Q： Where was the car before it hit the woman?
本题属于较为特殊的地点题，考生不仅要听懂对话发生的地点，而且要能理解I met the car came out at the side street这句语法上有错误的话并推断出在汽车撞上W之前，它正在the side street (A)中。其他选项在对话中都曾出现过，但它们都是描述W本人所在的位置，而非肇事车辆所处的位置。
听力原文真题四：
A) In a court.
B) On the farm.
C) In a bank.
D) In a shop.
W： I just stopped by at your office in the bank. They told me that you had quit where are you working now?
M： I am working for a lawyer now.The pay is better and the work is much more interesting.
Q： Where did the man work before?
答案C)。此题的关键词bank在对话中出现了两次，考生不但可以从女士的话(…at your office in the bank,They told me that you had quit：),也可以从男士的回答(The pay is better than in the bank…)中得出本题的正确答案。而a lawyer 仅仅是一个难度不大的干扰词，考生只要听懂now这一词就可以排B)D)两项与本题对话明显无关。
