Unit Three
Description and Location
Identifying People/Items from Description

本单元共有20个练习。练习的重点是人物描述（Description)和找方位 (Location)。这两项技能是我们日常生活中不可缺少的，而且与国外实际生活紧密 相关。

本单元用图片、图表和地图等形式，帮助考生通过对人物的描述，或对方位 的指令和指引，选出要找的人或要找的地方，通过练习培养考生边听、边看、边 记的综合能力。

建议考生在做图片练习时，要注意图片中人物的共同点和不同点，以提高答 题的命中率。在做找方位的练习时，要认真看图上已有的信息，如街名、地名。 这样，在做听力练习时即使没跟上指令，只要记住了图上的地名，也有助于找到位置，因为在给指令时常以图中已有的地名作参照，如：opposite the church， behind the school, next to the post office。
