雅思聽力考試中，在題幹中如果出現了時態相關的詞彙那麼同學們要進行留意，很有可能就是考點詞出現了。可以標註出來，他聽力原文播放時留心去聽，因為時間相關考點詞出現的時候，出題的干擾句也會圍繞考點詞的時態進行描述。看下面這個例子，詳細進行解析。
劍橋11 test 2 section 2 中13/14題
Which Two facilities does the theatre currently [1] offer to the public?
A. rooms for hire
B. backstage tours
C. hire of costumes
D. a book shop
E. a cafe
分析：
先看題幹中：which Two facilities does the theatre currently offer to the public?哪兩個設施是theatre 目前提供給公眾的?
在聽錄音時，要重點聽跟currently時間詞的內容，要反應出和currently詞意相同的詞彙，同義詞替換出現的`可能性也是很大的。並且干擾也會出現一些將來打算，計劃或是不久後提供的內容，這些都有可能出現在原文中作文干擾項，混淆聽力正確答案。
聽力原文：
so we 're looking into the possibility to open a cafe in due course.(in due course 在適當的時候)排除E
there are 2 large rooms will be decorated next month, and they"ll be available for hire. 排除A
we're also considering hiring out costumes. 排除C
所以排除法就可以做出來了。以上干擾句中都出現了將來時間詞。
答案句：
one way is by organizing backstage tour, so people can be shown around the building and learn how a theatre operates.
we have a bookshop which specializes in books about drama and that attracts plenty of customers.都是一般現在時。
在看一個例子：
15/16題
Which Two workshops does the theatre currently [2] offer?
A. sound
B. acting
C. making puppets
D. make-up
E. lighting
分析
同樣，這道題的題幹也是出現了currently這個詞，問現在情況
聽力原文：
we intend to learn run courses in acting， but we're waiting until we've got the right people in place as trainers.出現將來時間排除B
we're going to start sound next month.出現將來時間詞可以排除A。
a number of people have enquired about workshops on make-up, that's something we're considering for the future.排除C
答案句：
our lighting workshop has already started with great success.
a surprise success is the workshop on making puppets…it is so popular we're now running them very month. 是現在完成時或者現在時。

A. the arrival of wild birds
B. fruit tree blossom
C. a demonstration of fishing
從這些題中我們可以可以找到at present;original這些詞它們都表示表示，在這樣的時間詞出現時，考點考察的內容就是這個詞所發生的事情，要用心去留意。如果關鍵詞是現在時，那麼要注意現在時態相關的干擾。而答案句對應也是現在時或現在完成時。題幹中直接出線一般將來時的題很少，基本上都在問過去或者現在的情況。
時間詞彙對於解答這類題型起到關鍵作用，同學們要在平時複習中，留心進行整理，尤其是同義詞的替換，不僅僅對於聽力中很重要，並且可以在雅思寫作中使用上。這樣的詞彙可以做到不重複，讓考官覺得你的詞彙量是夠得，不詞窮。
