例题：
2006年6月四级考试第9题
A．Helen is talkative B. Helen is active C. Helen is sociable D.Helen is quiet
原文：
M：We’ve got three women researchers in our group, Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know them?
W: Sure, Mary is active and sociable. Betty is the most talkative woman I’ve ever met. But guess what？Helen is just the opposite.
Q: what do we know from the conversation?
解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为D.其中，另外三项的形容词都被读到，而quiet恰好是talkative与opposite组合的一个同义替换。

C) She has a literature class to attend. D) She is troubled by her sleep problem.

W: I'd love to, but I'm exhausted.I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my literature class ?
