W: Yes, but you must admit the world’s a very different place now。
M: Of course.In fact, I believe that there may be some truths in the predictions this time around.First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment。W: Such as?
M: There’s an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country.In San Paulo, you can see shopping malls full of designer goods right next door to the slum areas without proper water or electricity supplies.A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their lives。
W: What needs to be done?
M: Education, for example.For Brazil, to be successful, we need to offer education to all Brazilians.Successful countries, like South Korea and Singapore have excellent education systems.Brazil needs to learn from these countries。
W: So you’re hopeful for the future?
W: As I said earlier, I’m hopeful.This isn’t an easy job.We need to make sure that these important opportunities for Brazil aren’t wasted as they were in the past。

Passage 1
Wilma Subra had no intention of becoming a public speaker.After graduating from college with degrees in chemistry and microbiology, she went to work at Gulf South Research Institute in
Louisiana.As part of her job, she conducted field research on toxic substances in the environment, often in minority communities located near large industrial polluters.She found many families were being exposed to high, sometimes deadly levels of chemicals and other toxic substances.But she was not allowed to make her information public.Frustrated by these restrictions, Subra left her job in 1981, created her own company and has devoted the past two decades to helping people fight back against giant industrial polluters.She works with families and community groups to conduct environmental tests and hybrid test results, and organize for change.Because of her efforts, dozens of toxic sites across the country have been cleaned up.And one chemical industry spokesperson calls her “a top gun” for the environmental movement.How has Subra achieved all this? Partly through her scientific training, partly through her commitment to environmental justice.But just as important is her ability to communicate with people through public speaking.“Public speaking,” she says, “is the primary vehicle I use for reaching people.” If you had asked Subra before 1981, do you see yourself as a major public speaker? She would have laughed at the idea.Yet today she gives more than one hundred presentations a year.Along the way, she’s lectured at Harvard, testified before congress, and addressed audiences in 40 states, as well as in Mexico, Canada, and Japan.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.What did Wilma Subra do as part of her job while working at Gulf South Research Institute?
27.Why did Wilma Subra leave her job in 1981?
28.What results have Wilma Subra’s efforts had in the past two decades?
29.What does the speaker say has contributed to Wilma Subra’s success？
Passage 2
One of the biggest challenges facing employers and educators today is the rapid advance of globalization.The market place is no longer national or regional, but extends to all corners of the world.And this requires a global-ready workforce.Universities have a large part to play in preparing students for the 21st century labor market by promoting international educational experiences.The most obvious way universities can help develop a global workforce is by encouraging students to study abroad as part of their course.Students who have experienced another culture firsthand are more likely to be global-ready when they graduate.Global workforce development doesn’t always have to involve travel abroad, however.If students learn another language and study other cultures, they will be more global-ready when they graduate.It is important to point out that students also need to have a deep understanding of their own culture before they can begin to observe, analyze and evaluate other cultures.In multi-cultural societies, people can study each other’s cultures to develop intercultural competencies, such as critical and reflective thinking and intellectual flexibility.This can be done both through the curriculum and through activities on campus outside of the classroom, such as art exhibitions and lectures from international experts.Many universities are already embracing this challenge and providing opportunities for students to become global citizens.Students themselves, however, may not realize that when they graduate, they will be competing in a global labor market.And universities need to raise awareness of these issues amongst undergraduates.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you just heard:
30.What is one of the biggest challenges facing employers and educators today?
31.What should students do first before they can really understand other cultures?
32.What should college students realize according to the speaker?
Passage 3
To see if hair color affects a person’s chances of getting a job, researchers at California State University asked 136 college students to review the resume and photograph of a female applicant for a job as an accountant.Each student was given the same resume but the applicant’s picture was altered so that in some photos, her hair was golden, in some red and in some brown.The result-----with brown hair, the woman was rated more capable and she was offered a higher salary than when she had a golden or red hair.Other studies have found similar results.Many respondents rate women with golden hair as less intelligent than other people and red hair as more temperamental.Women with red or golden hair are victims of the common practice of stereotyping.A stereotype is a simplistic or exaggerated image that human carries in their minds about groups of people.For example, lawyers are shrewd and dishonest is a popular stereotype.Stereotyping can occur in public speaking classes when trying to choose a speech topic.Some males think that women are uninterested in how to repair cars or some females think that men are uninterested in creative hobbies, such as knitting a needlepoint.We should reject to stereotypes because they force all people in a group into the same simple pattern.They fail to account for individual differences and the wide range of characteristics among members of any group.Some lawyers are dishonest, yes, but many are not.Some women are uninterested in repairing cars, yes, but some are enthusiastic with mechanics.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.What did researchers at California State University find?
34.What is the popular stereotype of lawyers?
35.Why does the speaker say we should reject to stereotypes?
The ancient Greeks developed basic memory systems called “Numonyx”.The name is from their Goddess of memory “Mnemosyne”.In the ancient world, a trained memory was an early Greek orators delivered long speeches with great because they learned their speeches using Numonyx systems.The Greeks discovered that human memory is an associative process.That works by linking things together.For example, think of an apple.The example could be when you think about a lecture you will have.This could trigger a memory about what you are talking about through that lecture, which can then An example given on the website I was looking at follows: “do you remember the shape of Austral, Canada, Belgium or Germany.” Probably not.What about Italy, though? made an association with something you’ve already known—the shape of a boot.And Italy’s shape could not be forgotten once you’ve made the association.11.A)They prefer to carry cash when traveling abroad.12.C)Rod was eliminated in the selection process.13.A)The concert is very impressive.14.B)They have known each other since their schooldays.15.D)Stop for the night.16.A)Survey results.17.D)He would rather the woman didn’t buy the blouse.18.C)The notice may not be reliable.19.D)A manager at a computer store.20.A)Handling customer complaints.21.C)She wants to be with her husband.22.D)Early next month.23.B)It will be a najor economic power by the mid-21st century.24.D)The huge gap between the haves and have-nots.25.C)they attach great importance to education.Section B

2018年6月英語六級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：

In America, white tailed deer are morenumerous than ever before, so abundant in factthat they've become a suburban nuisance and ahealth hazard.Why can't the herd be thinned the old-fashionedway? 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…

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!

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)。

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。

Part I Writing
As is shown in the picture, a boy is telling a girl his experience in making friends.He, like many of modern people, tends to use social networking websites to meet new friends.They love the time they spend with their new acquaintances on the Internet.In my opinion, it?s total madness for people to do that.The use of social networking websites in cultivating friendship influences our life in a bad way.Firstly, the use of social networking websites may undermine our interpersonal skills in dealing with people in our real life.Secondly, interacting with new friends online may estrange us instead of drawing us closer, though often such communication does offer some fun.Lastly, friendship got by means of those websites may not last long, which may render us a feeling of great loss afterwards.In my opinion, it?s time we took action to cultivate real friendship for our own benefit.For one thing, we should adopt a correct attitude towards friendship, which involves substantial help with our study or work in daily life, not in the virtual world.For another, we should step aside from the shining pictures, video clips, or voice messages passed to and fro via the websites, and actually meet new friends in person to have a chance to savor the sweetness friends can bring us.Part II Listening Comprehension
Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.At the end of each conversation, you will hear some questions.Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation One
W: Hello, Professor Smith.M: Yes, Lily, any problem with the writing assignment? W: Yes.I?m about to write my research paper summary.I?m confused about the difference between a research paper and a research paper summary.M: I have a questions, have you finished writing your research paper? W: Not yet, I?m in the middle of it.M: Then, it?s advisable for you to wait after you finish your report.W: Why can?t I do these two at the same time? M: No, you can?t.To write a summary, you should first of all need to finish your report.Then, review your main ideas, and condense them into a short document.W: I see.The best way to begin writing the research summary is by reviewing my report.M: Yes.That?s right.W: It seems I?d better write my report at a faster speed.M: Ok.And, as you said just now, you don?t know the difference between the report and the summary, right? W: Yes, I do.As I understand, they both write about the same thing.The difference is their length, one is longer and the other is a little bit shorter.M: Yes, you can say that again.Let?s talk about their differences in class at a later time.But, in structure, they?re similar.W: Similar? I know, for a research paper, it has a beginning, a middle and an end.M: Yes, so has the report summary.The beginning should introduce the topic and how you plan to address it.The middle of the summary will provide the main points you use to support your argument.The end of the document should summarize the conclusions your paper reaches.W: It seems to be so complex and so hard.M: You?ll be better off if you keep two things in mind.One is to be concise, and the other is not to use too complicated terms.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.When is the right time to write a report summary? 2.How?s Lily?s research paper going for now? 3.What does the middle of a research paper summary write about? 4.What does the professor suggest Lily do at the end of the conversation?

W: This is Lucy Bowen.I?m talking with Professor Jimmy Whitworth, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.Welcome, Professor!M: It?s my honor to be here, and talk about a topic which may make the audience a little bit comfortable or horrible.That is, Ebola, which is spreading mostly in African countries.But, according to the news, more than 17,000 people in West Africa have survived Ebola infection.Sadly, doctors from the US National Institute of Health said, most of them will have long-lasting health problems.W: They have survived Ebola.That?s very lucky.But, again, they have to feel its potential challenges.M: Yes, you can say that again.The related study shows that survivors in Liberia had developed body weakness, memory loss and depressive symptoms in 6 months after leaving hospital.W: So, in a way, Ebola hasn?t gone away from these people.M: Yes.When people had memory loss, it tended to affect their daily living, for example, they couldn?t return to school or normal jobs, and some people may have terrible sleeping problems, regular headaches, and even some patients are “actively suicidal”.W: Is there any available ways to cure these problems? M: Well, we?re only trying to figure out what some of these problems are physical or mental.However, there?s still much to learn about Ebola?s other potential consequences, and there will be a long way to go before effective ways are found to cure them.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.What were the speakers talking about?

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear two passages.At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage One
Sports enthusiasts at every level are clearly aware that the ?mental? part of performance can be just as important as the physical.Good performance in gymnastics is often said to 90% mental and 10% physical.Other sports see ?hidden? factors, such as confidence and a ?cool? head under pressure, make up more than 50% of success.Many will talk about ?being in the zone? when they perform at their peak.Olympic 100-metre gold medalist Linford Christie described his focus on the starting line as being like looking down a long, straight tune.His ability to blank out other competitors, the roar of the crowd, gave him those extra advantages over his rivals.In sport, psychology matters—and at every level.If you go onto the tennis court telling yourself that you?ve never beaten Joe before and that you?re not going to beat him today, then the result is very predictable.So, optimism boosts sporting performance, both at team and individual levels.Research into baseball and basketball teams in the USA revealed that teams have their own styles.The style used by teams after a defeat or when under pressure in the last few minutes of a game will determine future performance, regardless of the quality of the team.Those who are optimistic in the face of defeat are more likely to be successful in their next game;those who explain failures negatively will perform more poorly.Research into swimmers revealed that the same trend holds for individual athletes.Quite simply, when under pressure optimistic sportsmen and women try harder—and they recover from defeat more quickly.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.How much will confidence account for in gymnasts? success? 10.How did Linford Christie gain extra advantages over his rivals? 11.How can optimism help boost performance in sports?

Passage Two
Today, let?s learn something about Gettysburg National Military Park, which was built in memory of the Battle of Gettysburg.Fought over the first three days of July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most crucial battles of the Civil War.The battle brought disaster to the residents of Gettysburg.Every farm field or garden was a graveyard.Churches, public buildings and even private homes were hospitals, filled with wounded soldiers.By January 1864, the last patients were gone as were the surgeons, guards, nurses, tents and cookhouses.Only a temporary cemetery on the hillside remained as a testament to the courageous battle to save lives that took place at Camp Letterman.Prominent Gettysburg residents became concerned with the poor condition of soldiers? graves scattered over the battlefield and at hospital sites, and pleaded with Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin for state support to purchase a portion of the battlefield to be set aside as a final resting place for the defenders of the Union cause.In 1864, a group of concerned citizens established the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association whose purpose was to preserve portions of the battlefield as a memorial to the Union Army that fought here.A Federally-appointed commission of Civil War veterans oversaw the park?s development as a memorial to both armies by identifying and marking the lines of battle.Administration of the park was transferred to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service in 1933, which continues in its mission to protect, preserve and interpret the Battle of Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address to park visitors.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.What did the Civil War bring to the local people in Gettysburg? 13.Who started the campaign for the protection of soldier graves? 14.When was the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association established? 15.What was the responsibility of the veteran commission in building the park?

Section C Directions: In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions.The recordings will be played only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Since the Industrial Revolution, natural habitats have been destroyed, and environments have been polluted, causing great harm to human beings, such as diseases in both humans and many other species of animals.In today?s lesson, I will talk about land pollution, the sources of the pollution, its consequences and a few things we can do to prevent further pollution and protect our environment.To begin with, let?s expand a little bit on the question, what is land pollution? Land pollution is the destruction of the earth?s land surfaces, often directly or indirectly as a result of man?s activities and their misuse of land resources.It occurs when waste is not dealt with properly, or can occur when humans throw chemicals onto the soil.Mining activities have also contributed to the worsening of the earth?s surface.Human actions have caused many large areas of land to lose or reduce their capacity to support life forms.This is known as land degradation.Note that land degradation can result from many factors, and land pollution is only one of them.With regard to different sources of land pollution, many publications group them differently.Let us see these four main sources: Firstly, solid waste is the first source of land pollution.Solid waste includes all the various kinds of rubbish we make at home, school, hospitals, markets and workplaces.Things like paper, plastic containers, bottles, cans, food and even used cars and broken electronic goods, broken furniture and hospital waste are all examples of solid waste.Some of these can be easily coped with or decay into organic matter.Examples include food droppings, paper products as well as plants like grass and tree branches.However, others are not environment friendly, and they include plastics, metals and aluminum cans, broken computer and car parts.Because these do not easily decay, they pile up in places where all the city?s rubbish are sent and stored, where they stay for thousands of years.These bring great harm to the land and people around it.The second source is the use of pesticides and fertilizers.Many farming activities engage in the application of fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides for higher crop yield.This is good because we get more food, but can you think of what happens to the chemicals that end up on the crops and soils? Sometimes, insects and small animals are killed and bigger animals that eat tiny animals(as in food chains)are also harmed.Finally, the chemicals may be washed down as it rains and over time, they end up in the water, causing water pollution.The third source is……
16.In the eyes of the speaker, who should be responsible for land pollution? 17.Why does the speaker mention “broken electronic goods”? 18.Why do people use fertilizers in farming activities? 19.What will the speaker probably talk about immediately after the passage?
16.A 17.B 18.C 19.B
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.Almost 70 million children across the world are prevented from going to school each day, a study published today reveals.Those living in north-eastern Africa are the least likely to receive a good education—or any education at all, an umbrella body of charities and teaching unions known as the Global Campaign for Education has found.Somalia ranks the world?s poorest countries according to their education systems.It has the least functional system in the world with just 10% of children going to primary school, while Eritrea is second worst.Haiti, Comoros and Ethiopia are in the similar situation.The report?s authors, from charities including Plan and ActionAid, measured the likelihood of children attending primary school, a country?s political will to improve its education system, and the quality of its schools to create the rankings.The study—Back to School? The Worst Places in the World—warns that attempts to ensure all children can attend school are under severe threat.By 2015, there will be more children out of school than there are today, unless the richest countries dramatically increase the aid they give to the poorest nations, the authors argue.“Poor countries are facing a worsening situation, as severe and deepening pressure from the economic downturn caused by the crisis of the rich world?s banking system bites on their budgets,” David Archer, one of the authors from ActionAid says.Some ￡2.9bn is expected to be lost to education budgets in sub-Saharan Africa because of the economic crisis, he warns.Kenya, which is rated in the 50 worst countries for education, delayed plans to provide a free primary school education to 8.3 million children in September.The global economic crisis was one reason given for this.Girls are far less likely to attend school than boys in many of the world?s poorest countries, the authors have found.In Malawi, of those that enroll, 22.3% of boys complete primary compared to 13.8% of girls.In rural Burkina Faso, 61% of girls are married by the age of 18 and over 85% never get to see the inside of a secondary school.Most rich countries have failed to keep their promises to help poor countries improve their education systems, according to the study.While the UK is active in aiding those countries, along with the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland and Ireland, others—such as Greece, Austria, Italy and Germany—are not giving nearly as much as they should.20.What is said about Somalia? 21.What should be done to prevent more children dropping out of school by 2015? 22.What does the study say about girls in the world?s poorest countries?
20.A 21.C 22.D
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.Probably the best known nutrition fact about iron is that meats—particularly red meats—are rich in iron.While this is true, it is also true that a number of plant foods are also rich in iron.It may come as a surprise that researchers have found that people eating plant-based diets eat as much or more iron as people who regularly rely on animal foods.And, you?ll see that the recommended list of excellent iron sources is largely dominated by plant foods.Without question, more human health problems worldwide are caused by iron deficiency than by lack of any other nutrient.Less well known is the fact that excessive iron stores are also responsible for a large burden of illness worldwide.As such, iron is a very important nutrient to understand not only for researchers and nutritionists but everyone, since we need to be aware of finding the right iron balance from our foods.But, iron really plays a big role in health support.All of the tissues in our body need a near constant supply of oxygen to maintain life.We maintain this oxygen delivery by the red cells in our blood.These have an iron-containing protein called hemoglobin, which is a perfect transporter for oxygen, in that it both picks up and releases oxygen in an exact and targeted way.The average man has about 2 grams of iron in his blood cells at any given time while women have about 1.6 grams.If the dietary iron intake falls below daily needs and this storage amount goes down, the ability to tolerate bursts of exercise will deteriorate.The reduction in blood count related to having low iron stores is called anemia.In addition to the key role iron plays in transporting oxygen to tissues, it also is necessary to support proper metabolism for muscles and other active organs.Almost all of the cells in our body burn dietary calories to create energy through a process that requires iron.When iron stores get low, this process gets compromised, and generalized fatigue can occur.What does the speaker say about iron and health? 24.Why is iron important in health support? 25.What is the speaker mainly talking about in the passage?

China is rapidly getting older.Three decades ago, only 5 percent of the population was over 65;today, 123 million people, or 9 percent of the population, are over this age.By 2050 China?s older population will likely swell to 330 million and younger generations face an unprecedented burden of care.In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the government advocated a “l(fā)ater, longer, fewer” lifestyle, encouraging people to marry later, have wide gaps between children and fewer children overall.It also set the controversial one-child policy.These were attempts to curb population growth in a bid to help modernise the economy.However, the population control policy resulted in an extremely low fertility rate, further increasing the proportion of the older population.

(1 第一題或最后一題最可能是主題題型!因?yàn)橐话闳硕枷矚g采用先概括后具體或先具體后總結(jié)的形式。
(2 如果題目中有數(shù)字題,經(jīng)常有不止一個(gè)選項(xiàng)在文中出現(xiàn)過。請?jiān)跀?shù)字邊標(biāo)記其代表的意義!(3 你所聽到的反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞或句必與文段中心有密切關(guān)系!沒聽清的話就選你聽到最多的!(4(除非是數(shù)字題沒有聽清某一句通常不會(huì)影響選對答案,從別處得到的信息也足夠讓你做出正確的判斷。正確答案之所以為正確答案,是因?yàn)橛盟鞔鸢赣姓f服力,不僅嚴(yán)密,且與文段的多處對應(yīng)。
請考生銘記: 段落越長可利用的信息越多,為防遺忘可簡單做記號。但切不可拖泥帶水!(六:兩種聽寫做法相似
復(fù)合式聽寫和聽寫填空是近年來比較時(shí)髦的題型?？傮w說來,聽寫和填空的取材與老題型(文章回答問題相似,仍然圍繞日常生活、科技發(fā)展、歷史起源、人物回顧、文化娛樂等展開文段。
考題仍然沒有太強(qiáng)的專業(yè)性,但要求對某些詞句的復(fù)述,這就產(chǎn)生了不同:除了抓住文章的內(nèi)容主旨外, 本來由選項(xiàng)和問題給考生帶來的提示,現(xiàn)在改由暴露的原文給出。因此,請注意:(1 在聽音開始前,要盡量閱讀文章已經(jīng)給出的部分,得到文章的大意和某些詞語的信息;(2 第一遍放音時(shí),不要急于填寫完整某個(gè)空白,這一遍一邊順暢思路,理清文章的脈絡(luò),一邊可以做點(diǎn)簡單的記錄,填入幾個(gè)單詞;
(3 第二遍時(shí),按要求快速填寫,對于長的詞語可以先寫個(gè)頭,爭取把重要的信息都包括上。或許有的地方?jīng)]有寫全,不要著急,跟上錄音的節(jié)奏,走完所有空白,然后再回頭解決沒有寫完的單詞;(4 第三遍時(shí)直接處理遺漏之處,盡量使得你填的答案完整。
單個(gè)詞語填空不要空,盡量運(yùn)用拼寫知識寫上。但對于長句子的填空,如果只有不影響句意的一個(gè)詞不會(huì)拼寫,就不要補(bǔ)了,以免弄巧成拙。
請考生銘記: 做聽寫的步驟是:預(yù)先瀏覽原文的已知部分得到大意,然后邊聽邊快速填寫空白,最后進(jìn)行補(bǔ)全和修正。
(七:針對題型逐個(gè)演練
不管是對話還是文段,聽力考試的提問可分主題題型、細(xì)節(jié)題型、推斷題型和語言點(diǎn)題型四大類。從這一章開始,我們開始討論各個(gè)題型的特點(diǎn)和對策。
(一 主題題型
主題題型是必考題型。這類題目要求考生概括一段話的中心意思或歸納話題。從選項(xiàng)可辨別主題題型。一般來說,如果四個(gè)選項(xiàng)全都是動(dòng)詞或名詞詞組或時(shí)態(tài)統(tǒng)一的句子,內(nèi)容較為概括,則基本可以確定該題是主題題型。每篇文章后的第一題或最后一題是主題題型的可能性也較大。從提問方式看,主題題型都以“What”開頭。比如:What are they talking about? What is this conversation about? 掌握主題題型要從整體出發(fā),進(jìn)行一定的歸納。選項(xiàng)如果闡述過細(xì)就排除,原文毫無體現(xiàn)的無關(guān)選項(xiàng)也要排除。既要全面又要精煉,這就是主題題型的答案。關(guān)鍵詞也有助于歸納主題。尤其在對話中,給出的信息本來就不多,這時(shí)要注意上下文有重現(xiàn)的語匯。
例大學(xué)英語六級考試七大聽力技巧與題型分
短對話
除了和四級相同的一些視聽反向原則(即聽到的單詞和短語要慎選和同義詞替換原則(即準(zhǔn)確答案經(jīng)常是原文的同義詞語的替換之外,六級的小對話在出題方向上出現(xiàn)過一些明顯的特點(diǎn),總結(jié)如下: 教授要求嚴(yán)格:例如布置作業(yè)很多、考試不容易過,上課要求準(zhǔn)時(shí)、講座難度高等等;2002年6月第9題:M: Erh-erh… Looks like I'm going to be a litt le late for class.I hope Pro.Clark doesn't start on time today.W: Are you kidding? You can set y our watch by the time he starts his class.Q: What can be inferred about Pro.Clar k? A He wants his students to be on time for class.B He doesn't allow his students to tell jokes in class.C He is always punctual for his class.D He rarely notices which students are late.解析:男生說:可能我得遲到一會(huì)兒了,我希望Clark教授今天沒有準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)開課。女生回答:開玩笑吧,他每次開始上課(時(shí)間都很準(zhǔn),以至于你都可以對你的表。因此答案選C.2003年1月第6題
W: Professor Smith, I really need the credits to graduate this summer.M: Here at this school the credits are earned, not given.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A The man thinks the woman can earn the credits.B The woman is begging the man to let her pass the exam.C The woman has to attend a summer course to graduate.D The woman is going to graduate from summer school.解析:女生說:教授,我需要這些學(xué)分才能暑假順利畢業(yè)。教授回答:這個(gè)學(xué)校的學(xué)分是掙來的而不是給的。因此答案選B.另外:作業(yè)總是很重的負(fù)擔(dān),需要了解的是,作業(yè)包括各種各樣的assignment、home work 以及reading list。
2003年6月第8題
M: Mr.Smith, our history professor, announced we would be doing two papers and three exams this semester.I wonder how I'm going to pull through when two ot her courses have similar requirements.W: Well, can't you drop one course and pick it up next semester? Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? A Do the assignments towards the end of the semester.B Quit the history course and choose another one instead.C Drop one course and do it next semester.D Take courses with a lighter workload.解析:男生抱怨道我們的歷史老師Smith宣稱這個(gè)學(xué)期我們要搞定兩份論文三次考試?？墒莿e的課程也有類似的要求,我都不知道我該怎么去應(yīng)付了。女生建議道那你為什么不退一門課呢?下學(xué)期再選也不遲啊。因此答案選C。
預(yù)訂難以成功:房間、交通或演出的票、商品等都很難訂到或買到。
M: I wonder whether it would be possible to change this double room to two si ngle rooms.W: Sorry, sir.All the single rooms are occupied.But if you like, I can check wi th Imperial Hotel to see if they have any.Q: What's the woman going to do for the man? A Let him move to a room with two single beds.B Check to see if there are any vacancies in her hotel.C Try to help him find rooms in another hotel.D Show him the way to Imperial Hotel.解析:中男生說:我不知道能不能把這個(gè)雙人間換成兩個(gè)單人間。女生回答:對不起先生,所有的單人間都訂滿了。如果你想要的話,我可以給你查查帝國飯店看看它們有沒有。因此答案選C。
女生更愛學(xué)習(xí)、男生更愛娛樂: 2000年1月第1題
W: It's a pity you missed the concert yesterday evening.It was wonderful.M: I didn't want to miss the football game.Well, I'm not a classical music fan anyway.Q: What do we learn from the conversation? A The man was sorry to miss the football game.B The man attended the concert, but didn't like it.C The man was sorry that he didn't attend the concert.D The man is more interested in football than in classical music.解析:中男生說:你錯(cuò)過了昨天晚上的音樂會(huì)真可惜。它很棒的。男生回答:我不想錯(cuò)過足球賽啊,況且我不是一個(gè)古典音樂迷。因此答案選D。
另外,交通工具容易遲到,邀約對方容易遭到拒絕(吃飯的邀請容易成功,事故中人不會(huì)死亡而是生還等特色規(guī)律都可以在題目中找到大量的佐證。
長對話
單就長對話而言,長對話作為六級聽力改革后的新題型體現(xiàn)了命題組對于考試改革的訴求——強(qiáng)調(diào)在實(shí)際環(huán)境中的語言運(yùn)用能力。涉及到的對話場景內(nèi)容非常廣泛,從校園生活到生活中的各種場景。學(xué)生可以通過抓住“信號詞” 來判斷具體場景。經(jīng)常涉及到的場景有:旅游(飛機(jī),機(jī)場,出行準(zhǔn)備等,校園,工作面試,訪談等。

Q22.What is the man's chief responsibility in the Green Peace organization? Q23.What has Green Peace been involved in recently? Q24.How does Green Peace try to stop people from dumping nuclear waste? Q25.What is the woman's attitude towards the Green Peace's campaigns? Keys: ABAD 解析:做題的時(shí)候一定要和短文一樣對題目的出題位置有明確的把握,位置感很重要。一般而言,對話時(shí),開頭的客套以及問候與結(jié)尾的道別結(jié)束語很少出題,而對話中段往往才是重點(diǎn)。另外,本段長對話使用到了視聽基本一致的原則。24題的考法是長對話中最典型的一種,就是針對動(dòng)作行為進(jìn)行發(fā)問,考點(diǎn)在于考生需要聽明白人物發(fā)出的動(dòng)作是什么,原文的動(dòng)詞harass和選項(xiàng)的harass是一摸一樣,屬于最簡單的考法,而且原文重復(fù)兩次,因此考生對此即便是不知道harass是什么意思也能選對。25題的考法是一貫的長對話結(jié)尾題,往往以態(tài)度判斷和結(jié)論作為考察對象,此題選項(xiàng)均為態(tài)度詞,很容易判斷,另外,注意到選項(xiàng)呈現(xiàn)“三負(fù)一正”的格局,因此答案是顯然的。本段長對話的幾個(gè)特色詞匯也需要注意:harass指“騷擾”,綠色和平組織采取“和平騷擾”的方式,影響那些傾倒核廢料(dum ping nuclear waste的人們,而沒有采取訴諸武力(resorting force的方式。

解析:做題的時(shí)候一定要和短文一樣對題目的出題位置有明確的把握,位置感很重要。一般而言,對話時(shí),開頭的客套以及問候與結(jié)尾的道別結(jié)束語很少出題,而對話中段往往才是重點(diǎn)。另外,本段長對話使用到了視聽基本一致的原則。24題的考法是長對話中最典型的一種,就是針對動(dòng)作行為進(jìn)行發(fā)問,考點(diǎn)在于考生需要聽明白人物發(fā)出的動(dòng)作是什么,原文的動(dòng)詞harass和選項(xiàng)的ha rass是一摸一樣,屬于最簡單的考法,而且原文重復(fù)兩次,因此考生對此即便是不知道harass是什么意思也能選對。25題的考法是一貫的長對話結(jié)尾題,往往以態(tài)度判斷和結(jié)論作為考察對象,此題選項(xiàng)均為態(tài)度詞,很容易判斷,另外,注意到選項(xiàng)呈現(xiàn)“三負(fù)一正”的格局,因此答案是顯然的。本段長對話的幾個(gè)特色詞匯也需要注意:harass指“騷擾”,綠色和平組織采取“和平騷擾”的方式,影響那些傾倒核廢料(dumping nuclear waste的人們,而沒有采取訴諸武力(res orting force的方式。
第一招:相關(guān)保留原則
當(dāng)選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)表達(dá)意思相近時(shí),那么正確答案必在這兩項(xiàng)之中!這時(shí)只需稍微聽一聽對話,即可知答案,如果出現(xiàn)了雙重相關(guān),便可直接確認(rèn)正確選項(xiàng),只需聽完對話加之認(rèn)證一下即可!典型例題: 4.A Visiting the Browning.B Writing a postcard.C Looking for a postcard.D Filling in a form.例題分析:B、C兩項(xiàng)均含有 a poscard ,B、D兩項(xiàng)均含有寫...之意,即B、C和B、D構(gòu)成雙重相關(guān),即可得出B為正確選項(xiàng)!本題聽力原文:
4.M: What's the matter? You've been sitting there for ages, just staring into space.W: I told the Browning I'd send them a postcard.Now I don't know what to say.Q: What's the woman doing? 第二招:異項(xiàng)保留原則
當(dāng)選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)有意思明顯相反的兩項(xiàng)時(shí),那么正確答案必在此二項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)!如果出現(xiàn)雙重異項(xiàng),那么即可判斷出正確答案,異項(xiàng)保留原則在六級考試聽力短對話中應(yīng)用廣泛!典型例題: 6.A She can’t finish her assignment, either.B She can’t afford a computer right now.C The man can use her computer.D The man should buy a computer right away.例題分析:A、B異項(xiàng),A項(xiàng)的意思是她現(xiàn)在有電腦,B項(xiàng)的意思則是她現(xiàn)在沒有電腦。B、D異項(xiàng),B是說女方無電腦,而D是說男方無電腦,男女也是一種反意關(guān)系。所以根據(jù)雙重異項(xiàng)原則可確定正確答案為B項(xiàng)!本題聽力原文: 6.M: I'm frustrated.We're supposed to do our assignment on the computer, but I have difficulty getting access to the computers in the library.W: I understand the way you feel.I'm looking forward to the day when I can afford to get my own.Q: What does the woman mean?
第三招:女士保留原則
做題做多了,我們應(yīng)該了解西方人的思維方式,當(dāng)對話中出現(xiàn)女士的建議和要求時(shí),我們一定要注意,這時(shí)女士說出來的話很可能就是正確選項(xiàng)的異意!因?yàn)榕拷?jīng)常以女神的形象出面,她們代表的是美好、正面、陽光的信息!典型例題: 9.A The man should stick to what he’s doing.B The man should take up a new hobby.C The man should stop playing tennis.D The man should find the cause for his failure.16 例題分析：通過選項(xiàng)我們可以分析出男人做一些事情遇到了困難，這時(shí)一位 女人出來安慰男人，根據(jù)女神原則可知女人一定會(huì)讓男人堅(jiān)持把這件事情做下 去，而不要放棄，這樣的題型太多了，所以可呈現(xiàn)出一定的規(guī)律性！本題聽力原文： 9.M: I think I'm going to give up playing tennis.I lost again today.W: Just because you lost? It that the reason to quit? Q: What does the woman imply? 第四招：概括、抽象保留原則 當(dāng)選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)比較概括、抽象的句子時(shí)，這時(shí)我們就要把表述事實(shí)的、具 體的句子劃掉，而去選擇表概、抽象、比較性的句子！此原則可衍生出一個(gè)包 含取大的原則，在作題時(shí)應(yīng)用也是十分的廣泛，一般當(dāng)兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思接近時(shí)，表述比較全面的一般為正確選項(xiàng)！典型例題： 7.A The visiting economist has given several lectures.B The guest lecturer’s opinion is different from Dr.Johnson’ s.C Dr.Johnson and the guest speaker were schoolmates.D Dr.Johnson invited the economist to visit their college 例題分析：A、C、D 均為表述事實(shí)的句子，只有 B 項(xiàng)為對比、比較的句子，較之 A、C、D 項(xiàng)更為抽象的表述了一件事情，所以 B 項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)！本題聽力原文： 7.M: The visiting economist is speaking tonight, but Dr.Johnson doesn't seem to think much of him.W: That's because Dr.Johnson comes from an entirely different school of thought.Q: What do we learn from the woman's
remark? 第五招：態(tài)度和虛擬保留原則 這兩種方法一般無單獨(dú)命題的規(guī)律性，只是作為上述四種宏觀方法的輔助方 法出現(xiàn)，當(dāng)只剩下兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)時(shí)，通常正態(tài)度的選項(xiàng)容易是正確答案，表虛擬的 選項(xiàng)更容易是正確答案！
