单就听力长对话而言，长对话作为六级听力改革后的新题型体现了四六级命题组对于考试改革的诉求——强调在实际环境中的语言运用能力。涉及到的对话场景内容非常广泛，从校园生活到生活中的各种场景。学生可以通过抓住“信号词” 来判断具体场景。经常涉及到的场景有：旅游(飞机、机场、出行准备等)、校园、工作面试、访谈等。
我们分析一篇文章。
例题：2008年12月长对话1
W: Right, well, in the studio this morning, for our interview spot is Peter Wilson 【人名，重要】. Peter works for Green Peace 【特殊表达，文章主题词】. So, Peter, welcome.
M: Thanks a lot. It's good to be here.
W: Great! Now, Peter, perhaps you can tell us something about Green Peace and your job there.【寒暄，为了迷惑考生，此处进入正题】
M: Sure. Well, I'll start by telling you roughly what Green Peace is all about. I actually work in London for the Green Peace organization(人物职业，22题考点1). We've been going for a few decades and we're a non-violent, non-political organization. We're involved in anti-nuclear activity, conservation and protection of animals and protection and support of our eco-system. I'm the action organizer and arrange any protests.(人物职业重复，22题考点1)
W: Right! A pretty important role, Peter. What sort of protest would you organize?
M: Well, recently we've been involved in anti-nuclear campaigns. (问答关系，23题考点2)I, personally arranged for the demonstration against radioactive waste dumping in the Atlantic Ocean. We've got a few small Green Peace boats that we harass(特殊词汇，首次出现，24题考点2) the dumping ship with.
W: Say? Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by "harass"?(重复核心词，也是问题所在。问答关系。)
M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea.(针对问题harass的具体回答，24题考点3) We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance as possible.
M: Well, people may think differently of your methods, but there's no doubt you're doing a great job.(转折词but+态度判断词great，25题考点4) Keep it up and good luck (继续态度判断). And thanks for talking with us.
W: Thanks for having me.

解析：针对文章本身，我们秉承一贯的解析传统，将原文和考点的出处以及正确答案分别作了标注，考生可以一一对应，自行找出字里行间的考点。
做题的时候一定要和短文一样对题目的出题位置有明确的把握，位置感很重要。一般而言，对话时，开头的客套以及问候与结尾的道别结束语很少出题，而对话中段往往才是重点。
