9) la cause (n° 45, 49, 62, 65, 67, 74, 84, 85, 90)
也就是说有疑问词why引导的问题，针对过去或现在发生的事所提问，而且大多数情况下出现在part III 和IV中。这里希望同学们注意的是，千万不要被以前学英语的一些固定格式给套牢了：不要一听到why 就去找because！在TOEIC考试中，我们遇到的答案很可能非常的简短而且根本就不带引导词：
W : I can’t find my lipstick in here.
M : You should buy a new purse.
W : This purse is new ! I haven’t gotten used to it yet.
Q : Why can’t the woman find her lipstick ?
A. Her bag is broken.
B. Her lipstick is broken.
C. She is crying.
D. She can’t find it in her new bag.
答案是D。在没有because的情况下考听力，难的地方是需要把没个句子都听清楚才能做出选择。对待这种情况，我只能建议大家多做模拟题，多练耳朵。实在不行了就随便填一个然后赶快看下一题吧。蒙答案是允许的，因为TOEIC不会倒扣分！！
在第二中情况中，why常常和for在问题中成对儿出现。 Ex.) We regret to annouce that Mary Smith, the wife of Harry Smith, passed away yesterday morning. Her husband has asked for donations to the American Heart Association.
Q : Why is Mr. Smith asking for donations ?
A. To support Mary Smith.
B. To support Harry Smith.
C. To support heart research.
D. To announce the past.
答案是C。这样的问法，由于是出现在后两部分的听力中的，建议大家尽量争取时间先看一眼选项再听录音。
10) 涉及到简单计算的题 (n° 53, 56, 66)
Ex.) M : I’ve been looking for you.
W : I went to office supply to pick up a dozen pencils, but I ended up getting three times as many.
M : Next time, leave a note when you go.
Q : How many pencils did the woman pick up ?
A. 20 B. 12 C. 36 D. 2
答案是C。这道题的第一个考点就是，考生必须认识dozen这个词 – 12（我们常说的一打）。然而12并不是答案，听到后来我们会发现还有下文：three times。时间虽紧，幸好Toeic考的是语言而不是数学，大家应该马上就知道选什么了吧？
11) un examen américain (n°19, 28, 29, 68, 73, 75, 76, 78, 81, 82, 88)
在介绍中我们已经强调过了，toeic是老美出题的语言考试，所以在考试中自然会涉及到一些与美国文化和生活息息相关的内容啦~ 当然，功力深厚的人是不难通过分析结构来找出答案的。不过大家先给大家打打预防针，这样考试的时候才不会被这些题目给“惊喜”到嘛 — 毕竟占了11题之多呢，错了多心疼啊~~
废话不多说，赶紧来看例子： Ex.) W : Does your family celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah ?
M : We celebrate neither. Our holiday is Kwanzaa.
W : There are lots of holidays in December.
Q : What does the man’s family celebrate ?
A. December. B. Christmas. C. Kwanwaa. D. Hanukkah.
答案是C。如果这题目出现在阅读部分的话，很可能有人就要发表意见了：“切，这算什么考试...” —— 可是同学们，美国人也不傻啊！看着没什么难度的东西，可是光靠听的，一般人谁知道Kwanzaa是虾米玩意啊！！ 更别说在这么短的时间内一下子听到3个节日了 —— 有够混淆的！
不过，大家也不必气馁。在本书的第五章里会分门别类的给大家总结出来一系列的单词，其中当然也包括了一些与美国生活和文化相关的内容。（接下来是我本人的话：在录入这本书的时候为了方便大家阅读，我删去了一些随便在网上，或任意一本参考书上都能查到的内容。所以不用真的等到第五章啦，不然我打字打到手指抽筋了都还到不了...）
1) sujet / verbe
主语和动词之间的配合是基本上所有考试都不会绕过的点。最常见的，无非是主语的单复数变化。不过有时，复合主语的情况很容易让人犯迷糊。举一个简单的例子： Ex.) All the students in the class ________ Dr. Morris.
A) likes B) like
很明显，例句中影响动词的真正主语不是class 而是all the students, 是复数的。所以答案理所当然的选B啦。
同理，在 « The team of cheerleaders was on their way to the home game. » 一句中，主语是the team而不是cheerleaders。
接下来让我们分别看看在这一大考点下应当注意的各个小点： A) 动词+主语+动词原型 —— 原因动词
一共有两大类：必须由to引出的动词原型 和可以独立出现的。
a) 原因动词 + 动词原形：
To make someone do sth : I made Sarah take off her shoes.
To have someone do sth : Mr. Black had Clara call the main office.
To let someone do sth : The director let the staff leave early. b) 原因动词+ to + 动词原型
To get someone to do sth : The customer got the salesperson to demonstrate the product.
To want someone to do sth : The professor wanted the class to read 5 chapters.
To order someone to do something : Mrs. Lester ordered the students to stay after school.
To permit someone to do sth : The manager permitted Steve to take Friday off.
To allow someone to do sth : Mother allowed the children to buy ice cream cones.
Attention :
当第二个出现的动词没有直接作用的对象时，句子的结构会发生变化：这时应使用过去式。 Ex.) I had the reports sent to the agency.
I had Jayne send the report to the agency.
Exercice : remplir les blancs.
Bud hasn’t had hisbarn _______ for 20 years.
A. paint
B. To paint
C. Paints
D. Painted
As executivesecretary, Corinne usually has caterers ________ for company events.
A. coming in
B. Come in
C. Came in
D. To come in
The police in thiscommunity ________ day and night to protect homeowners from theft.
A. works
B. Working
C. Has worked
D. Have worked
The salesrepresentative tried to get Mrs. Marciniak __________ coffee, but she was toobusy typing letters.
A. to make
B. Making
C. Made
D. Make
The committee forwildlife protection and river safety _________ this matter for several days.
A.
Will have been discussing
B.
Have been discussing
C.
Has been discussing
D.
Discuss
B) 提建议： suggest / insist / urge / recommend
在以上这些动词后面，我们需要使用这个结构：Sujet + verbe + that + nom + 动词原型 Ex.) Mrs. Summers urged that he go to career counseling.
The salesman insisted that she try a sample.
C) 第一个动作 + when + 第二个动作：当...时， ... （正在）...
这是句子中有两个主语，分别引出不同的动作。但是根据使用时态的不同，意思上也会有所差别的。
Ex.) She was leaving when the phone rang. 这一句中表示的是当她离开这个动作正在发生时电话响了，两者之间并不一定有必然联系。比较一下：
She left when the phone rang. 这个句子则是表达了一种因果关系：电话响了，所以她走了。
D) used to / be used to :
Ex.) The staff is used to being called to meetings without notice. 由以一直延续到现在的习惯
The staff used to meet every Monday at 10 am. 以前有但是现在没有继续下去的习惯

2. A. To having B. Having C. Have D. To have
3. A. Gave B. Will give C. Give D. Are giving
4. A. Have reserved B. Has reserved C. Reserve D. Reserves
答案：
A, D, C, B
E) 动词 wish：
这个结构很重要！！ « I wish + 过去时态 » —— 不论主句是以什么时态出现的。 Ex.) I wish I had more time.
He wishes he knew more about finance.
以上两个句子中 wish 所表达的是一种希望。
但是，当句子的意思是表示对过去发生，不可挽回的某事表示遗憾时，应该使用的结构是 « I wish +愈过去时 » : Ex.) I wish I had studied more in high school.
He wishes he had attended last week’s seminar.
Ex.) 在法语中，我们可以说：
Le nouveau profm il vient d’Angleterre.
但在英语中，我们只能说：
The new professor comes from England.
G) 条件式：表示假设时两个分句中的时态很重要。
一共有三种表达方式，这里给大家总结出来，记住一定不可以混淆！！ 第一种： 现在时 + 将来时
Ex) If I go to the meeting, I will be late.
第二种： 过去时 + would + 动词原型
Ex.) If i went to the meeting, I would be late.
第三种：愈过去时 + would have + 过去分词
Ex.) If I had gone to the meeting, I would have been late.

C. will have D. Would have
3. A. Will understand B. Would understood

Ex.) 在 « The people came to the outdoor sale in droves. »一句中，people一词其实并不需要被限定。所以这句是错误的，应该改成 « People came to the outdoor sale in droves.»
其他例子： A good way to attract business is to offer a first-time discount.
A) 集合名词：
也可是叫成不可数名词。这是为了使这些词变得能够量化，我们通常要在前面加一个数量单位。 Ex.) software -- a program
Fruit – a piece of fruit
Hair – a piece of hair
Information – a piece of information
News – a piece of news
Advice – a piece of advice
Exercice : remplir les blancs.

5. Despite the fact that Ellie __________ phone calls, her boss is sometimes disturbed unnecessarily.
A. she screens B. She is screening
C. screens D. Is screening
A) 用于表示时间和地点：
- 表示确切时间的的时候用 at : The delivery left at 9 :00 am.
- 表示一个礼拜中的某天用 on : The company picnic in on Saturday.
- 在某个城市用 in : The company’s headquarters are in Omaha.
- 确切的某一天用 on : The merger took place on February 16, 1996.
除此之外常见的介词还有：between, next to, near, across from, behind, in front of, until, above, below, under.
B) 介词和名词：
有一些介词和某些名词固定搭配使用的，没有什么规律可循。这时我们所能做的就是牢牢记住这些组合。例如：An increase in, a check for, a need for, an attitude to, a reason for, an advantage in ，etc.
C) 介词与形容词：
同上，这些搭配也是固定的，需要大家记牢。常见的例如：delignted with, fed up with, interested in, surprised at, dependent on, married to
D) 介词和动词：
这里情况稍微复杂一些，因为有的动词后面跟的是 to + 动词原型，而有的则是跟现在分词。 例如：
动词1 + To + 动词2的原形： They expect to hire more people this year.
We demanded to see the boss. 动词1 + 动词2的现在分词：He finished filling out the forms.
That firm avoids delivering after 10pm.
楼主 
在TOEIC考试中，我们遇到的答案很可能非常的简短而且根本就不带引导词：

更别说在这么短的时间内一下子听到3个节日了 —— 有够混淆的！
