　　Listening：【举例】讲了两个例子。

　　2)前一天晚上在电视上看了个教育片，是讲手机信号是怎么从一部手机通过卫星传到另一个手机的，没有讲述如何使用。所以看完之后，他还是不会用手机。

　　Sample answer:

　　The reading passage explains a definition of process explanation, which means that one tells somebody else how to do something. There are two types of the process explanation. One is directive explanation, and the other is informational explanation.来源：北京新航道托福频道

　　In the lecture, the professor gives two examples to further illustrate this. The first example is that he bought a cell phone recently, but he didn' t know how to put the phone number into the cell phone. His friend taught him how to enter the name and phone number step by step, which is the directive process explanation. When using this method of explanation, a person explains all the steps involved in doing something.The second example is that he watched an educational program on TV the night before, which is about how the signal is transmitted from one cell phone to another by satellite, but it didnt tell how to operate it. That is informational process explanation. So the professor still had no idea how to use his phone because he knew the theory behind it but couldn' t put it into practice。

　　上文中我们给大家总括了真题以及给了案例回答，希望考生对照题目和答案好好研究，对题目类型的熟悉度和掌握答题的技巧，相信多看多练会考到理想的成绩。
