通过阅读上面5个句子，我们初步判断该听力短文与电话、电话用语以及人物Thomas Edison有关。结合我们学过的历史知识，我们知道电话不是Thomas Edison发明的，首先判断第18题为错的(F)。然后，听的重点在hello这个单词以及Thomas Edison身上了

　　而这个听力短文的内容为：(划线部分为我们的问题涉及内容)

　　(第16题)Maybe the word hello is used more often than any other one in the English language. Every one in the United States and other countries uses the word, again and again, every day of the week.

　　(第17题)The American inventor Thomas Edison is believed to be the first person to use hello on the telephone soon after the invention of it.

　　(第20题)At first, people began their words on the telephone with Are you there? They were not sure the small machine could really carry voices.

　　(第19题)Edison was a man of few words. He wasted no time. The first time he picked up the telephone, he did not ask if anyone was there. He was sure someone was there and only said hello.

　　From then on, hello is often heard when you picked up the telephone.

　　故而，答案应为16 T 17 T 18 F 19F 20 F

　　总之，我们在作听力时应作到以下几点：

　　一、争取时间 提前审题。　领到试卷后应迅速浏览听力部分，尽快根据题干和选项预测可能出现的录音内容，努力寻求四个选项之间的差别，提高捕捉信息的准确度。
