短对话听力内容涉及校园场景 (宿舍、教室、实验室、图书馆等 )、天气场景 (天气变化、温度变化、降水、降雪、风沙等灾害性天气 )、 医院场景 (问诊、问候、问药、问价、问方向、 )、面试场景 (个人爱好、兴趣、教育背景、工作经历、对应聘职位的了解和期盼、对工资待遇和上班时间的特殊要求等 )、租房场景 (租金、押金以及数额、支付方式、房客应遵循的规则、对房屋设施等的介绍 )、娱乐场景 (影院、剧院、舞厅、球场、游泳等娱乐设施 )、餐馆场景 (定座、点菜、结账、小费、投诉等场景词汇 )、选课场景 (选修课程、必修课程、课程难度、教授要求、同学推荐、参考书目 )、作业场景 (教师与学生、学生与学生、课程作业、课程论文、学期论文、期中测试、单元小节等 )、图书馆场景 (借书、还书、丢书、续借、查询、罚单等高频词汇 )。英语交际通常使用一种模式化的语言，在固定的场景中其词汇和表达也相对比较固定，平时注意积累场景高频词汇和习惯表达。

短对话听力测试突破的第二个途径就是分析选项，因为客观题目的选项设计一般都有其内在的逻辑关系，有些相互印证，有些截然对立，还有些毫不相关，但是至少可以帮助考生提示关键词汇和全都有” (必须听完问题 )。虽然短对话的选项设计更加复杂表达，所以抢时间阅读选项就非常重要。短对话听力逐步从最初阶段的“直接听到的是答案” (最简单 )过渡到“直接听到的往往不是答案” (迷惑干扰 )再到“四个选项提仨” (未提及选项 )到现在的“各路英雄，但是绝大多数情况下还是遵循“同义词替换”的原则。比较经典的例子就是：如果对话中出现了taxi driver, 选项中的正确答案一般不会包含这个词汇，而是用同义的 cabdriver 替换。
