三、重读常出
对话的核心内容理应会得到说话人的强调，最为有效的强调方式莫过于重复，而且重复的词语往往能够揭示对话的主题。因此对那些对话双方多次提到的词语或内容应进行重点记忆。

22.What is the newscoverage mainly about?
【答案解析】
选[A]。主旨题。主旨题的答案往往在开头或结尾，而本题的答案即出自开头的第一句。选项中的latest(最新的)对应该句中的live up-to-date(最新直播)，armed rebellion(武装叛乱)对应unrest(动乱)。另外，对话的主题往往会得到多次重复，因此根据后面多次出现的rebel forces, conflict, war等与"叛乱"相关的词语，也可判断本题答案为[A]。
