【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。
　　1. A) At a newsstand. B) At a car dealer’s.

　　2. A) At a theatre. B) At a booking office.
