2014年6月英語六級(jí)真題短文復(fù)合式聽寫原文

Tests may be the most unpopular part of academic life.Students hate them because they produce fear and anxiety about being evaluated, and focus on grades instead of learning for learning's sake.But tests are also valuable.A well-constructed test identifies what you know and what you still need to learn.Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others.And knowing that you'll be tested on a body of material is certainly likely to motivate you to learn the material more thoroughly.However, there's another reason you might dislike tests.You may assume that tests have the power to define your worth as a person.If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted to believe that you received some fundamental information about yourself from the professor---information that says you are a failure in some significant way.This is a dangerous and wrong-headed assumption.If you do badly on a test, it doesn't mean you are a bad person or stupid or that you'll never do better again and that your life is ruined.If you don't do well on a test, you're the same person you were before you took the test.No better, no worse.You just did badly on a test.That's it!In short, tests are not a measure of your value as an individual.They're a measure only of how well and how much you studied.Tests are tools.They're indirect and imperfect measures of what we know.

第二篇：復(fù)合式聽寫易錯(cuò)單詞總結(jié)

英語四級(jí)復(fù)合式聽寫易錯(cuò)單詞總結(jié)

以下單詞容易錯(cuò)誤的常見原因集中在四方面：

第一，發(fā)音非常接近，甚至完全相同，容易導(dǎo)致在被動(dòng)接受語音信息的時(shí)候（也就是聽聽力材料的時(shí)候）發(fā)生理解誤差。如quite 相當(dāng) quiet安靜地。

第二，有些詞匯，不僅互相之間發(fā)音相似或相同，拼寫也很接近，容易在練習(xí)聽寫的時(shí)候把單詞寫錯(cuò)。如dairy牛奶廠diary 日記，以及statue塑像statute法令stature身長status地位

第三，對于一些發(fā)音特殊的詞匯，考生總是記不住其正確發(fā)音，比如suite這個(gè)單詞，很多考生容易把它的發(fā)音錯(cuò)誤地理解為與suit這個(gè)單詞相同，因而在聽力中發(fā)生理解錯(cuò)誤。

第四，有些單詞，發(fā)音，拼寫都接近，而且在含義用法上也有一些聯(lián)系或雷同之處，因此在聽力理解時(shí)難度極大，如extend 延伸（時(shí)間或長度）extent長度

給各位上四六級(jí)培訓(xùn)班的同學(xué)布置個(gè)小作業(yè)啦——就算你是在不想背那考試。大厚厚一本詞匯書，也請你一定要把這篇文章里我總結(jié)的這些詞匯熟練掌握，這樣以來，聽力部分的詞匯算是及格過關(guān)了，應(yīng)付四六級(jí)考試不會(huì)有太大問題了。更重要的是，希望大家能夠了解上述訓(xùn)練及總結(jié)方法，在自己的學(xué)習(xí)過程中，根據(jù)這樣的思路不斷積累更多英語學(xué)習(xí)素材。

第四篇：2018年6月英語六級(jí)聽力真題及原文答案

2018年6月英語六級(jí)聽力真題及原文答案（第一套全）

Section A Conversation One M: What's all that? Are you going to make a salad? W: No I'm going to make a gazpacho.M: What's that? W: Gazpacho is a cold soup from Spain.It’s mostly vegetables.I guess you could call it a liquid salad.M: Cold soup? Sounds weird.W: It's delicious.Trust me.I tried it for the first time during my summer vacation in Spain.You see, in the south of Spain, it gets very hot in the summer, up to 40°C.So a cold gazpacho is very refreshing.The main ingredients are tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, olive oil and stale bread.M: Stale bread? Surely you mean bread for dipping into the soup? W: No.Bread is crushed and blended in like everything else.It adds texture and thickness to the soup.M: Mm.And is it healthy? W: Sure.As I said earlier it's mostly vegetables.You can also add different things if you like, such as hard-boiled egg or cured ham.M: Cured ham? What’s that?

W: That's another Spanish delicacy.Have you never heard of it? It is quite famous.M: no, is it good too? W: Oh, yeah, definitely.It’s amazing.It’s a little dry and salty, and it's very expensive because it comes from a special type of pig that only eats a special type of food.The harm is covered in salt to dry and preserve it.And left to hang for up to 2 years, it has a very distinct flavor.M: Mm.Sounds interesting.Where can I find some? W: It used to be difficult to get Spanish produce here.But it's now a lot more common.Most large supermarket chains have cured ham in little packets but in Spain you combine a whole leg.M: A whole peg leg? Why would anybody want so much ham? W: In Spain, many people buy a whole leg for special group events, such as Christmas.They cut it themselves into very thin slices with a long flat knife.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.What do we learn about gazpacho? 2.For what purpose is stale bread mixed into gazpacho?

3.Why does the woman think gazpacho is healthy? 4.What does the woman say about cured ham? Conversation Two M: Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.W: Hi, yes.What kind of wine would you like? M: I don't know, sorry.I don't know much about wine.W: That’s no problem at all.What’s the occasion and how much would you like to spend?

M: It's for my boss.It’s his birthday.I know he likes wine, but I don't know what type.I also do not want anything too expensive, maybe mid-range.How much would you say is a mid-range bottle of wine approximately? W: Well, it varies greatly.Our lowest prices are around $6 a bottle, but those are table wines.They are not very special.And I would not suggest them as a gift.On the other end, our most expensive bottles are over $150.If you are looking for something priced in the middle, I would say anything between $30 and $60 would make a decent gift.How does that sound? M: Mm, yeah.I guess something in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good.Which type would you recommend? W: I would say the safest option is always a red wine.They are generally more popular than whites, and can usually be paired with food more easily.Our specialty here are Italian wines, and these tend to be fruity with medium acidity.This one here is a Chianti, which is perhaps Italy's most famous type of red wine.Alternatively, you may wish to try and surprise your boss with something less common, such as the Infantile.The grapes are originally native to Croatia but this winery is in east in Italy and it has a more spicy and peppery flavor.So to summarize, the Chianti is more classical and the Infantile more exciting.Both are similarly priced at just under $40.M: I will go with Chianti then.Thanks.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.What does the woman think of table wines? 6.What is the price range of wine the man will consider? 7.Why does the woman recommend red wines? 8.What do we learn about the wine the man finally bought? Section B Passage One Many people enjoy secret codes, the harder the code the more some people would try to figure it out.In war time, codes are especially important, they help army send news about battles and signs of enemy forces.Neither side wants its code broken by the other.One very important code was never broken, it was used during world war two by the Americans.It was spoken code, never written down and it was developed and used by NH Indians.They were called the NH code talkers.The NH created the codes in their own language.NH was hard to learn and only a few people know it.So it was pretty certain that the enemy would not be able to understand the code talkers.In addition, the talkers used code words.They called a submarine and an iron fish and a small bomb thrown by hand, a potato.If they wanted to spell something, they used code words for letters of the Alphabet.For instance, the letter A was ant or apple or ax, the code talkers worked mostly in the islands in the Pacific.One or two would be assigned a group of soldiers.They would send messages by field telephone to the code talker in the next group.And he would relay the information to his commander.The code talkers played an important part in several battles.They helped the troops coordinate their movements and attacks.After the war, the US governments honored them for what they had accomplished.Theirs was the most successful wartime code ever used.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.What does the speaker say many people enjoy doing? 10.What do we learn about the NH talkers? 11.What is the speaker mainly talking about? Passage Two If you are young and thinking about your career, you want to know where you can make a living, well, this going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge intensive jobs in the next twenty years.Particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills.One is teaching, and the other, health care.You have so many applications and software and platforms, but going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of health care and education sectors, would be radically changed, and lots of jobs will be lost.Now, where will the new jobs be found, well the one sector of the economy that can't be easily duplicated by even small technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector, that is, you can't really get a robot to do a great massage or physical therapy.Or, you can't get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service.There could be very high and personal services, therapist do charge a lot of money, I think there's no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care, people would like if they could afford it.But, the real question in the future is, how come people afford these things if they don't have money, because they can't get a job that pays enough, that's why I wrote this book, which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes, to what we used to consider high income work.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.What does the speaker say will happen in the next twenty years? 13.Where will young people have more chances to find jobs? 14.What does the speaker say about therapist?

15.What is the speaker’s book about? Section C Recording One American researchers have discovered the world's oldest paved road, a 4,600-year-old highway.It linked a stone pit in the Egyptian desert to waterways that carried blocks to monument sites along the Nile.The eight-mile road is at least 500 years older than any previously discovered road.It is the only paved road discovered in ancient Egypt, said geologist Thomas Bown of the United States Geological Survey.He reported the discovery on Friday.“The road probably doesn't rank with the pyramids as a construction feat, but it is a major engineering achievement,” said his colleague, geologist James Harrell of the University of Toledo.“Not only is the road earlier than we thought possible, we didn't even think they built roads.” The researchers also made a discovery in the stone pit at the northern end of the road: the first evidence that the Egyptians used rock saws.“This is the oldest example of saws being used for cutting stone,” said Bown’s colleague James Hoffmeier of Wheaton College in Illinois.“That's two technologies we didn't know they had,” Harrell said “And we don't know why they were both abandoned.” The road was discovered in the Faiyum Depression, about 45 miles southwest of Cairo.Short segments of the road had been observed by earlier explorers, Bown said, but they failed to realize its significance or follow up on their observations.Bown and his colleagues stumbled across it while they were doing geological mapping in the region.The road was clearly built to provide services for the newly discovered stone pit.Bown and Harrell have found the camp that housed workers at the stone pit.The road appears today to go nowhere, ending in the middle of the desert.When it was built, its terminal was a dock on the shore of Lake Moeris, which had an elevation of about 66 feet above sea level, the same as the dock.Lake Moeris received its water from the annual floods of the Nile.At the time of the floods, the river and lake were at the same level and connected through a gap in the hills near the modern villages of el-Lahun and Hawara.Harrell and Bown believe that blocks were loaded onto barges during the dry season, then floated over to the Nile during the floods to be shipped off to the monument sites at Giza and Saqqara.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.16.What do we learn from the lecture about the world’s oldest paved road in Egypt? 17.What did the researchers discover in the stone pit? 18.For what purpose was the paved road built? Recording Two The thin, extremely sharp needles didn’t hurt at all going in.Dr.Gong pierced them into my left arm, around the elbow that had been bothering me.Other needles were slipped into my left wrist and, strangely, into my right arm, and then into both my closed eyelids.There wasn’t any discomfort, just a mild warming sensation.However, I did begin to wonder what had driven me here, to the office of Dr.James Gong, in New York’s Chinatown.Then I remembered－－the torturing pain in that left elbow.Several trips to a hospital and two expensive, uncomfortable medical tests had failed to produce even a diagnosis.“Maybe you lean on your left arm too much,”the doctor concluded, suggesting I see a bone doctor.During the hours spent waiting in vain to see a bone doctor, I decided to take another track and try acupuncture.A Chinese-American friend recommended Dr.Gong.I took the subway to Gong’s second-floor office, marked with a hand-painted sign.Dr.Gong speaks English, but not often.Most of my questions to him were greeted with a friendly laugh, but I managed to let him know where my arm hurt.He asked me to go into a room, had me lie down on a bed, and went to work.In the next room, I learned, a woman dancer was also getting a treatment.As I lay there a while, I drifted into a dream-like state and fantasized about what she looked like.Acupuncturists today are as likely to be found on Park Avenue as on Mott Street.In all there are an estimated 10,000 acupuncturists in the country.Nowadays, a lot of M.D.s have learned acupuncture techniques;so have a number of dentists.Reason? Patient demand.Few, though, can adequately explain how acupuncture works.Acupuncturists may say that the body has more than 800 acupuncture points.A life force called qi circulates through the body.Points on the skin are energetically connected to specific organs, body structures and systems.Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of qi.The truth is, though acupuncture is at least 2,200 years old,“nobody really knows what’s happening,”says Paul Zmiewski, a Ph.D.in Chinese studies who practices acupuncture in Philadelphia.After five treatments, there has been dramatic improvement in my arm, and the pain is a fraction of what it was.The mainly silent Dr.Gong finally even offered a diagnosis for what troubled me.“Pinched nerve,”he said.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.19.What does the speaker find especially strange? 20.Why did the speaker go see Dr.Gong? 21.What account for the growing popularity of acupuncture in the United States, according to the speaker? Recording Three Ronald and Lois married for two decades considered themselves a happy couple.But in the early years of their marriage both were distilled by persistent arguments that seem to fade away without ever being truly resolved.They uncovered clues to what was going wrong by researching a fascinating subject.How birth order affects not only your personality but also how compatible you are with your mate.Ronald and Lois are only children and onlies grow up

accustomed to being the apple of parents’ eyes.Match two onlies and you have partners to sub consciously expect each other to continue fulfilling this expectation while neither has much experience in the giving and here's a list of common birth order characteristics and some thoughts on the best and worst Marischal matches for each.The oldest tends to be self-assured, responsible, a high achiever and relatively seriously reserved.He may be slow to make friends.Perhaps content with only one companion.The best matches are with a youngest and only or a mate raised in a large family.The worst match is with another oldest since the two will be too sovereign to share a household comfortably.The youngest child of the family thrives on the tension and tends to be outgoing, adventurous, optimistic, creative and less ambitious than others in the family.He may lack self-discipline and have difficulty making decisions on his own.A youngest brother of brothers often unpredictable and romantic will match best with an oldest sister of brothers.The youngest sister of brothers is best matched with the oldest brother of sisters who will happily indulge these traits.The middle child is influenced by many variables however middles are less likely to take initiative and more anxious and self-critical than others.Middles often successfully marry other middles.Since both are strong on tact not so strong on the aggressiveness and tend to crave affection.The only child is often most comfortable when alone.But since an only tends to be a well-adjusted individual she'll eventually learn to relate to any chosen spouse.The male only child expects his wife to make life easier without getting much in return.He is sometimes best matched with the younger sister of brothers.The female only child who tends to be slightly more flexible is well matched with an older man who will indulge her tendency to test his love—her worst much.Another only of course.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.22.What does the speaker say about Ronald and Lois's early years of married life? 23.What do we learn about Ronald and Lois? 24.What does the speaker say about the oldest child in the family? 25.What does the speaker say about the only children? 參考答案：

The small community of North Haven on LongIsland is home to some six hundred to sevenhundred deer.The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimumpopulation at 60.The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens andshrubs are protected by high fences.Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of theroad that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of thebodies.Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases.On theoccasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure courtorders against the hunts.And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots andpans to alert the deer.Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved intoconfrontations.The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem.Some communities have evendiscussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix.That means wolves inthe suburbs of New York.It is almost too wonderful not to try it.The wolves would kill deer ofcourse.They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburbandwellers have in mind.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard

Q16.What do we learn about white-tailed deer in North Haven?

Q17.Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans?

Q18.What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix?

And now, if you'll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we're going to see isthe room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionallyentertain heads of state and royalty.However, they managed to keep this room friendly andintimate.And I think you'll agree.It has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grandhouses you visit.The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lakeand fountains outside which were lit up at night – a very attractive sight.As you can see,ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, whichwould add to the relaxed atmosphere.The table dates from the 18th century and is made fromSpanish oak.It's rather remarkable for the fact that although it's extremely big, it'ssupported by just six rather slim legs.However, it seems to have survived like that for 200years.So it's probably going to last a bit longer.The chairs which go with the table are not acomplete set.There were originally six of them.They are interesting for the fact that they arevery plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and noarmrests.I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people wereused to more discomfort in the past.And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to follow meinto the great hall…

Q19.What do we learn about the speaker?

Q20.What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting?

Q21.What is said about the oval table in the room?

Q22.What does the speaker say about the chairs?

Janet James was 22 years old when she was diagnosed with MS—a disease that attacks thebody's nerves.She has just graduated from college and got a job at an advertising agencywhen she began to sense that something strange was going on inside her body.When Jamesrealized how severe her illness was, she knew she had better hurry up and live life.MS is thebiggest cripplerof young adults.And although she didn't have many symptoms, she knew it wasjust a matter of time.First on her agenda was to pursue her dream of hosting a pop musicprogramme.She worked at a radio station for a year, always aware that her body wasdegenerating.Then her best friend moved away.And one night James began screaming, “I gotto go!I got to go!” Two weeks later, she arrived at Alaska, thousands of miles from her friends,her family and her past.“Everything fell into a place”, she recalls.A 23-year-old girl with anincurable disease can fly to Alaska and everything can work out.The MS attacks came and went.And most of the time they hardly slowed her down.James hiked, fished, learnt to sail andexperimented with hot air ballooning.“I lived for adventure”, she says.“Nobody ever had abetter time or did more exotic strange things than I did in an 80-year period.” Inevitablyhowever, the day came when she was so weakened that she had to return to Pittsburgh, herhome town.There she began relieving her adventures by writing a book about them.Her bookwas published in 1993.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Questions 23

What's sort of person can we infer Janet James is?the ecological mix? It’s difficult to estimate the number ofyoungsters involved in home schooling wherechildren are not sent to school and receive theirformal education from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have made it legallypossible in most states for parents to educate theirchildren at home and each year more people takeadvantage of that opportunity.Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards, andmany require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receivinginstruction in state approved curriculum.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient thanmass public education.Moreover they site several advantages: alleviation of schoolovercrowding, strengthen family relationships, lower dropout rates, the facts that students areallowed to learn at their own rate, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, andreduced discipline problems.Critics of the home schooling movement content that it creates as many problems as itsolves.They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educationalopportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can providesuch educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children from the schools infavor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formaltraining to provide a satisfactory education for their children.Typically, parents have fewertechnological resources at their disposal than do schools.However, the relatively inexpensivecomputer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notionthat home schooling is in any way inferior to more highly structured classroom education.1.答案：D)Their hard work has resulted in a bigsuccess.2.答案：B)Join a package tour to Mexico.3.答案：B)In case some problem should occur.4.答案：C)The man can try out the facilitiesbefore he becomes a member.5.答案：A)He is not fit to study science.6.答案：C)Pay for part of the picnic food.7.答案：A)A labor dispute at a bus company.8.答案：D)The payment for an order.本次六級(jí)短對話難度變化不大，考查的話題還是我們以前考試中經(jīng)常提及的日常生活，工作以及學(xué)習(xí)方面，例如，對話1、2、4、6、7和日常生活話題有關(guān)(演出、度假、辦卡，野餐，新聞);對話3、8涉及商務(wù)工作;對話5則為校園生活話題(考試)。短對話主要考查學(xué)生對事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)信息的抓取和隱含意義的推理判斷，大部分題目答案是可以通過聽力原文直接得到的。其中一些主要短語需要注意：pay off―得到好的結(jié)果;取得成功‖;give sb a free pass―開恩‖;try out―嘗試;試用‖;cut out―切斷;停止‖;lay off―解雇‖等，理解好這些短語對整篇短文聽力內(nèi)容的把握很有幫助，往往一個(gè)短對話的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)就在一個(gè)單詞或者短語上，所以考生平時(shí)還是需要多多積累一些詞匯和短語。

長對話1：

9.B)A hotel receptionist.10.A)Appearance.11.C)Offer the job to David Wallace.長對話2： C)He was admitted to university.13.B)He became a professor of Mathematics.14.D)Their work on very high frequency radio waves.15.D)To teach at a university.長對話1

該對話圍繞男士和女士挑選合適的酒店招待員展開，討論三個(gè)應(yīng)聘者Frank Brisenski，Barbara Jones和David Wallace的優(yōu)劣勢：Frank Brisenski有禮貌，聲音好聽，聰明，但是外表形象欠佳;Barbara Jones聲音好聽，穿著得體，但過于害羞，不擅于與人溝通;David Wallace聰明，外表形象佳，表現(xiàn)自如，有禮貌，聲音動(dòng)聽。最后倆人決定錄取David Wallace。

前兩題考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，都能從原文直接找到答案，考生在聽的時(shí)候要大概記下對話雙方對于三個(gè)應(yīng)聘者的評價(jià)，特別是轉(zhuǎn)折處。雖然第三題需要考生推斷，但是根據(jù)對話雙方對David Wallace的評價(jià)就可以馬上推出這是他們最終定的人選。

長對話2

從開頭幾句就可知是電話對話，男士打電話詢問科學(xué)家Dennis Hutton的個(gè)人信息，女士在電話另一頭作了簡短介紹，中間涉及多處時(shí)間點(diǎn)，考生在聽的時(shí)候要特別記下每個(gè)時(shí)間對應(yīng)的事件，這樣四個(gè)題目的答案就出來了。

本篇對話有一定難度，一是時(shí)間點(diǎn)較多，二是一些較難的單詞和短語，如reference library參考書閱覽室;Darlington達(dá)靈頓(英國英格蘭東北部城市);inventer發(fā)明家;physicist物理學(xué)家;be admitted to進(jìn)入;refrigeration冷凍;low temperature physics低溫物理學(xué);mathematics數(shù)學(xué);subatomic particles亞原子粒子;patent取得……的專利權(quán)。做題時(shí)不要糾結(jié)于一些聽不懂的單詞，可以在試卷各選項(xiàng)旁邊標(biāo)注上時(shí)間點(diǎn)，這樣等聽問題時(shí)就能快速鎖定答案。16.A They have become a headache to thecommunity.17.C To alert the deer.18.B They would endanger domestic animals.【點(diǎn)評】

這是一篇關(guān)于生態(tài)的文章。講述了白尾鹿數(shù)量過多給長島帶來的負(fù)面影響，以及政府因此采取的措施。首句便點(diǎn)明了文章主旨，16題的答案即可呼之欲出。17題為事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，pots and pans壓了頭韻，在文中的特征還是頗為明顯的，不難定位。18題看似推理判斷，但并不難從原文中得出正確答案，cats and dogs都是domestic animals家禽，所以也可看作是事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題?？偟膩碚f，今年聽力短文的難度有所下降。大家要有信心，一定能通過考試的!

關(guān)鍵詞

nuisance n.麻煩事

hazard n.危險(xiǎn)

alert v.向……報(bào)警

19.A She is a tourist guide.20.C It was used by the family to hold dinner parties.21.B It is very big, with only six slim legs.22.D They are uncomfortable to sit in for long.【點(diǎn)評】

這是一篇導(dǎo)游詞，介紹名人故居的一個(gè)房間。對房間的作用，風(fēng)格，陳設(shè)等做了詳細(xì)的講解。沒有太難的生詞，只要抓住以上幾個(gè)角度，題目就不難做出了。除了第一題，其他三題都是事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，21、22題可能乍一看，很難推測出考點(diǎn)，這時(shí)可以注意文中詳細(xì)講解的部分，導(dǎo)游對oval table, chairs做了非常詳細(xì)的介紹，即為考點(diǎn)。

23.D It is the biggest crippler of young adults.24.A Hurry up and live life.25.B Adventurous.2013年12月大學(xué)英語六級(jí)考試聽力短文3點(diǎn)評

本篇短文聽力介紹了一位MS患者的勵(lì)志故事。主人公Janet James在22歲時(shí)被檢測出患有MS(多發(fā)性硬化癥)——這是導(dǎo)致年輕人殘廢(crippler)的最大原因。當(dāng)?shù)弥约夯加兄夭?，James決定抓緊時(shí)間，享受生活。接下來短文講述了James在病發(fā)前逐一完成自己的夢想，并嘗試了許多冒險(xiǎn)行為，例如遠(yuǎn)足、釣魚、學(xué)習(xí)駕駛帆船、體驗(yàn)熱氣球等。最后當(dāng)James的病情達(dá)到嚴(yán)重地步時(shí)，她回到家鄉(xiāng)，并把自己的冒險(xiǎn)故事寫成了一本書籍。

這篇短文中有一些關(guān)于疾病的單詞，例如diagnosed、MS、crippler、symptom、degenerating，給聽力增加了難度。

短詞填空點(diǎn)評：

本篇聽力填空主要討論在家接受教育的問題。文章結(jié)構(gòu)非常清晰，為傳統(tǒng)的三段式。

第一段介紹在大部分地區(qū)，法律(legislation)允許家長在家教育子女，有些地區(qū)還會(huì)要求家長或家庭教師需滿足教師資格，甚至有些地方要求家長填寫表格，證實(shí)他們的子女正在接受獲批的課程。對于這種教育方式，有利也有弊。

文章第二段表述了在家接受教育的支持觀點(diǎn)，例如便宜、有效、增進(jìn)家庭關(guān)系、降低輟學(xué)(dropout)率，學(xué)生可以自主學(xué)習(xí)，提升動(dòng)力(motivation)，減少紀(jì)律(discipline)問題等。

第三段介紹了這種教育方式的反對意見，一些批評家們爭論(contend)這種方式既解決了一些矛盾也帶來了一些新的問題，例如有些家長可能不具備施教能力，并且他們不像學(xué)校那樣具備充足的科技資源。

本篇聽力的三個(gè)詞組聽寫出現(xiàn)在最后一段的最后三空，這種現(xiàn)象十分罕見，學(xué)生做題時(shí)需提高警惕。
