2011年6月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)聽力真題答案解析
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
11.
M: I left 20 pages here to copy. Here is the receipt。
W: I'm sorry, sir. But we're a little behind. Could you come back in a few minutes?
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案:C. She has not got the man's copies ready。
解析:本題考的是文化場(chǎng)景,出現(xiàn)了copy 等詞,還是比較基礎(chǔ)的。原文中男生想出示收據(jù)來(lái)拿復(fù)印材料,然后女生說“ we're a little behind. ”(我們動(dòng)作稍落后)意思就是還沒復(fù)印好。
12.
W: I hope you're not too put out with me for the delay. I have to stop by friends' home to pick up a book on my way here。
M: Well, that's not a big deal. But you might at least phone if you know you're going to keep someone waiting。
Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?
答案:B. She was late for the appointment。
解析:生活類場(chǎng)景題。注意對(duì)"be put out with sb"(對(duì)……生氣)的理解;文中女生首先對(duì)自己的遲到表示歉意并解釋原因;男生說不是大問題,但是你至少得打個(gè)電話給我。因此,我們知道女生遲到了。
13.
W: Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student union, isn't he?
M: Well, that guy won't be able to win the election unless he gets some majority vote from women students. And I'm not sure about that。
Q: What does the man mean?
答案:C. It won't be easy for Mark to win the election。
解析:對(duì)話屬于學(xué)習(xí)類場(chǎng)景,出現(xiàn)了majority , student union,和 candidate等相關(guān)詞匯??键c(diǎn)在于對(duì)話中的肯定與否定類,即前面一個(gè)人提出觀點(diǎn),后面一個(gè)人采取‘取非’的態(tài)度;文中第一人說Mark是學(xué)生會(huì)主席的不二人選,而第二人則說除非Mark獲得了大多數(shù)女生的選票,否則是贏不了的,因此還不能確定。
14.
M: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam. I've located your luggage.It was left behind in Paris and won't arrive until later this evening。
W: Oh, I can't believe this. Have it deliver to my hotel then , I guess。
Q: What happened to the woman's luggage?
答案:A. It failed to arrive at its destination in time。
解析:考短對(duì)話??紙?chǎng)景,旅游場(chǎng)景,其中hotel , luggage 等單詞可幫助學(xué)生直接定位;第一個(gè)人(估計(jì)是工作人員)對(duì)旅客道歉說行李被落在巴黎了,要到深夜才能送到。旅客說這讓讓她難以置信,然后要求就把行李送到賓館。由此可知,女士的行李還沒有到達(dá)目的地。
15.
W: I don't think we have enough information for our presentation, but we have to give it tomorrow. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it。
M: Yeah, at this point we 'll have to make do with what we've got。
Q: What does the man suggest they do?
答案:A. Just make use of whatever information is available。
解析:關(guān)鍵詞presentation, 為校園場(chǎng)景??键c(diǎn)為第二人建議題,"at this point, we’ll have to do…"明確表示建議,將建議后的內(nèi)容聽出來(lái)就可以了。這里“we 'll have to make do with what we've got?!币馑际恰拔覀円萍永檬稚弦延械臇|西”。
16.
M: I am taking this great course-Psychology of Language, it's really interesting. Since you are a psychology major, you should sign up for it。
W: Actually I tried to do that, but they told me I have to take language studies first。
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案:D. The woman isn’t qualified to take the course the man mentioned。
解析:關(guān)鍵詞course,為校園場(chǎng)景。16題為典型的第二人but轉(zhuǎn)折后出考題,音頻中出現(xiàn)的psychology其實(shí)不需要知道意思,前面已經(jīng)有course來(lái)解釋了。這和六級(jí)一貫的難詞前后有對(duì)其的解釋的原則一致,并且psychology是六級(jí)學(xué)生應(yīng)該掌握的詞匯。 文中男生向女生推薦語(yǔ)言心理學(xué)這門課,女生說她有嘗試報(bào)名,但是在參加課程前得先進(jìn)行語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí),因此推出,女生還沒有資格參加該課程。
17.
W: Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate? No wonder they don't get along。
M: Well, maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said. There are two sides to every story you know。
Q: What does the man imply about Larry and his roommate?
答案:A. They are both to blame。
解析:17題為租房與住房類,出現(xiàn)了諸如roommate,get along等詞匯。并且第二人用maybe給出建議,作為考點(diǎn)。女生首先提到Larry對(duì)室友的說話態(tài)度不好;然后男生提到有可能他的室友講了些什么,Larry才會(huì)有如此反應(yīng)。每件事都是有兩面性的。因此雙方可能都有責(zé)任。
18.
M: We don't have the resources to stop those people from buying us out unless a miracle happens. This may be the end of us。
W: I still have hope we can get help from the bank. After all we don't need that much money。
Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?
答案:A. They are in desperate need of financial assistance。
解析:18題為商務(wù)話題,關(guān)鍵詞 resources,考題類型為觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度類,答案出現(xiàn)在第二人woman回答處,出現(xiàn)不絕對(duì)模凌兩可的詞匯給出觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度,此為本題考點(diǎn)。第一人話中講到“buy sb. out”表示收購(gòu);對(duì)于這個(gè)詞不認(rèn)知問題不大,后面給出了提示,表明發(fā)生了問題。而第二人給出了建議。具體而言,第一人說情況很不樂觀,第二人說還有希望,能向銀行求助。由此可知,他們的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況不佳,急需幫助。
Conversation One
聽力原文
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard。
W: You know I’ve often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for them。
M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn’t happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves。
W: Yes, and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted things like that. After all, it’s not really funny to be like that。
M: Oh, I think that’s because we’re embarrassed. We don’t know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we may get like that, so we laugh。
M: What about the custard pie routine?
W: What do you mean ‘custard pie routine’?
M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person’s face。
W: That never makes me laugh much, because you can guess what’s going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must because of the sort of the thing we’d all love to do once in a while and never quiet have the courage to。
M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings。
W: It must have come a bit expensive。
M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china。
19. C)We derive some humorous satisfaction from their misfortune。
解析:從But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves。一句中,可知,我們會(huì)嘲笑他人的不幸,是因?yàn)槲覀兛梢詮闹械玫揭环N幽默的滿足,derive from 意為得到,取得, make a fool of 意為愚弄,出洋相,所以正確答案是C
20. C) They don't know how to cope with the situation
解析:人們之所以會(huì)嘲笑胖子或身體有殘缺的人,是因?yàn)槿藗儾恢撊绾翁幚砟菢拥那闆r,文中有句有真相"We don’t know how to cope with the situation",所以正確答案是C
21. A) They themselves would like to do it but don't dare to。
解析:custard pie 意為“牛奶餅”,題目問的是,為什么人們看到有人往老板臉上扔牛奶餅,會(huì)覺得很有趣?對(duì)話中也幾乎是原封不動(dòng)地給出了答案,那是因?yàn)槲覀円蚕胱鰠s不敢做。would like to do 是love to do 的同義替換詞, dare to do 又是have courage to do 的同義替換詞。
22. C) To relieve her feelings。
解析:relieve feelings意為緩和情緒,對(duì)話中提到,She said it relieved her feelings. 這位男生的阿姨自己親口表示,當(dāng)她被激怒時(shí),會(huì)朝別人扔茶杯,來(lái)緩和自己的情緒,而不是如選項(xiàng)A 所說,to irritate them ,激怒別人。所以正確答案是C
這篇對(duì)話探討的是心理問題,有些小抽象。但是大家千萬(wàn)不要被這陣勢(shì)嚇到了,只要事先閱讀過一遍題目,聽對(duì)話時(shí)定位準(zhǔn)確,找到關(guān)鍵詞,很多問題便迎刃而解啦。四個(gè)問題都是按照文章的順序提問的,第一個(gè)和后一個(gè)問題如大家所料,在對(duì)話的開頭和結(jié)尾部分,所以開頭和結(jié)尾仍是要嚴(yán)防死守之處。除此以外,同義替換詞依然是重點(diǎn)考察項(xiàng)目,如would like to do , dare to do。這篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話雖然很多答案能從對(duì)話中可以直接找到相對(duì)應(yīng)的原句,但是在做聽力時(shí),還是要仔細(xì)聆聽,定位關(guān)鍵句,否則漏掉一句,做起題目來(lái)可能就會(huì)比較吃力了。
Conversation Two
聽力原文
W: Your name Sanjay Kumar is that correct?
M: Yes, madam。
W: You claim you are traveling on a scholarship from Delhi University。
M: That’s right。
W: Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage. Do you admit that?
M: Yes, but…
W:According to the statement you made, you had never seen the hand gun before it was found in your bag. Do you still maintain that?
M: But it’s true. I swear it。
W: Mmm, you do realize Mr. Kumar that to bring a hand gun into Hong Kong without proper authorization is a serious offense。
M: But I didn’t bring it. I … I mean I didn’t know anything about it. It wasn’t there when I left Delhi. My bags were searched. It was part of the airport security check。
W: Maybe so, but someone managed to get that hand gun onto the aircraft or it couldn’t have been there。
M: Someone but not me。
W: Tell me , where was your personal bag during the flight?
M: I had it down by my feet between me and the man in the next seat。
M: He was the only person who could have opened my bag while I was asleep. It must have been him。
W: I see. Have you any idea who this man was?
M: He told me his name, Alfred Foster. He was very friendly, after I woke up that is. He hadn’t spoken before。
W: Alfred Foster, we can check that on the passenger list。
M: He said he had a car coming to meet him. He offered me a lift。
W: Oh, Why should he do that?
M: So he can get his handgun back, that’s why. Please find him, Madam。
Questions 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard
23. D) Bringing a handgun into Hong Kong
解析:suspect 的意思是懷疑,題目問, Sanjay Kumar 被懷疑什么?對(duì)話的開頭,女警察便說到,“Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage”,也就是說在Sanjay Kumar 的包里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一把手槍,由此可得出選項(xiàng)D
24. D) He is suspected of having slipped something into Kumar's bag
解析:從對(duì)話中,我們了解到,Sanjay Kumar 并沒有攜帶槍支,而是坐在他身邊的Alfred Foster 栽贓嫁禍,趁Sanjay Kumar 睡著時(shí),將手槍放進(jìn)他的包里,slip 有暗中塞入的意思,對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)D
25. B) Find Alfred Foster。
解析:對(duì)話的后一句已給出了答案,"Please find him, Madam."Sanjay Kumar 請(qǐng)求警察能夠找到Alfred Foster
這是一篇審訊對(duì)話,在近三年的六級(jí)長(zhǎng)對(duì)話聽力中,還沒有涉及,但是審訊對(duì)話并不難,我們可以從兩人的語(yǔ)氣,稱呼中得出,如Sanjay Kumar 稱那位女士為madam,女士的口氣也比較硬,如用了“Do you admit that,tell me"等語(yǔ)句。這篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話既考察了對(duì)大意的理解,也考察了對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的把握,其中24題,更像是一道推理題,對(duì)話中并沒有明確指出Alfred Foster 把手槍塞入了Sanjay Kumar 的包內(nèi),但我們可以從Sanjay Kumar 的回答中推理出相應(yīng)的結(jié)論,23、25題對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的考察在對(duì)話中可以直接找到出處,總的來(lái)說,第二篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話還是比較簡(jiǎn)單的。
Section B
Passage One
聽力原文
Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia, "And why not? We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go. We may as well travel while we're fit and healthy. "
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moineau, founder of Tselana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Galápagos. "We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ", Ashley Toft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing。
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard。
篇章類型及提要:社會(huì)現(xiàn)象,經(jīng)濟(jì)相關(guān)
聽力點(diǎn)睛:
本文介紹了在總體市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)不景氣的前提下,旅游業(yè)異軍突起現(xiàn)象及其前因后果。文章開篇就介紹總的社會(huì)背景是各種不景氣前提下,外出旅游成為人們的選擇之一,緊接著以一個(gè)例子來(lái)證明。然后旅行社相關(guān)的權(quán)威人物的話語(yǔ)中更是證明目前旅游業(yè)正風(fēng)頭正勁。文章中出現(xiàn)的金融詞匯,人名、地名及職務(wù)名稱,如investment, investment, Namibia, Namibia, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore等。一定程度上會(huì)讓考生覺得頭疼,且分散注意力。這就需要考生有一定對(duì)重要信息的提取能力。人名、地名及職務(wù)名稱等聽過有個(gè)印象就好,不于糾結(jié)。
精剖細(xì)析:
26. According to the speaker, why are some people willing to spend their money on travel these days?
答案:B)They think travel gives them their money's worth。
解析:推斷題。本題問如今一些人愿意把錢花在旅游上的原因。第一題通常從聽力開頭去定位答案。文章第一句"Everyone is looking for a good investment", 緊接著說明但如今股票市場(chǎng),貨幣投資和公司都不太景氣(crashing),一些人就發(fā)現(xiàn)旅行不失為一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的“投資”,( taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move) 這錢花得也值。
27. What is Tselana Travel planning to do, according to its founder?
答案:D) Launch a new program of adventure trips。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題??吹絋selana Travel直接鎖定目標(biāo),且聽力中也給出了"planning to introduce..."排除其他選秀。 旅游業(yè)興盛起來(lái),那么相應(yīng)的旅行社等必然會(huì)采取措施,爭(zhēng)取吸引客戶獲得經(jīng)濟(jì)利益。所以聽的時(shí)候我們要格外注意,要對(duì)旅行社的行為要注意聽。p
28. According to Ashley Toft, managing director of Explore, what is changing now with regard to travels?
答案:B) The way people travel。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵詞"Ashley Toft"和"changing",考生容易選C選項(xiàng),因?yàn)檫@個(gè)Ashley Toft也提到了last-minute bookings數(shù)字的增長(zhǎng)。但是一定要把文章聽完,后給出了"Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing." 2個(gè)選項(xiàng)一對(duì)比,B選項(xiàng)更為合適。 The way people travel和how we travel用到了同義替換。也再次說明,聽力首尾都是聽力??嫉闹攸c(diǎn)區(qū)域,不可掉以輕心。
Passage Two
聽力原文
Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven’t been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she’d also accepted a date with the most charming men she’d ever met。
“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them?!?BR> “Receptionist in an attorney’s office and a welder at a construction site?!?She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter’s date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men’s and women’s work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage。
“Who's going to mow the lawn? ” I asked my husband this morning。
“Oh, I will,” he answered politely. ”That's men's work. ”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn?!?BR> The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself。
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard。
篇章類型及提要:社會(huì)現(xiàn)象,兩性關(guān)系
聽力點(diǎn)睛:
本文介紹作者對(duì)男女關(guān)系的老套傳統(tǒng)觀念持質(zhì)疑態(tài)度,并舉例證明其觀點(diǎn)。本文難詞不多,2個(gè)例子也以對(duì)話為主,所以難度適中。文章第一句"Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. "非常直白的表明了作者的觀點(diǎn)。文章難度不大的,題目往往會(huì)比較討巧,所以一定不能放松警惕。題目中的以推理為主的題目會(huì)相對(duì)比較多。
精剖細(xì)析:
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
答案:B) The changing roles played by men and women。
解析:主旨題。主要考察考生對(duì)主旨的理解。注意這里A選項(xiàng)容易讓人混淆。首句中的old stereotypes會(huì)誤導(dǎo)考生去選A。但A選項(xiàng)并不完整。文章不是講老套傳統(tǒng)的男女觀念。而是對(duì)此的一個(gè)質(zhì)疑,傳統(tǒng)男女的角色正在不斷改變。這也是六級(jí)做題的一個(gè)技巧。選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)和文章有關(guān)的重點(diǎn)單詞,并不一定就是答案。選項(xiàng)還是都得仔細(xì)閱讀。
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
答案:A) Offer more creative and practical ideas than men。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。此題不難,關(guān)鍵詞"office meetings',文章中直接給出了"they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues."排除其他選項(xiàng)。
31. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
答案:C) To show that women are capable of doing what men do。
解析:推斷題。題目問主人公為什么要自己來(lái)修整草坪。文章后是以一段對(duì)話體現(xiàn)。此題需要簡(jiǎn)單推理。首先主人公很明確的表示自己認(rèn)為傳統(tǒng)男女的關(guān)系及角色扮演正在不斷改變,女性可以做好傳統(tǒng)觀念里男人應(yīng)該做的事。 自己女兒就是一個(gè)很好的例子,是焊接工(welder),而女兒男友則是律師事務(wù)所的前臺(tái)接待。那么必然推斷出作者本身自己的行為舉止也是貫徹自己的這一想法。推斷選C,排除其他選項(xiàng)。
Passage Three
聽力原文
Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn’t much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There’re also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes’ reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year
Florence Hayes
Green Ville
篇章類型及提要:
聽力點(diǎn)睛:
本文主要從Florence Hayes,一位來(lái)自Green Ville Journal的記者的工作揭示Green Ville的治安狀況。難詞不多,難度適中,難詞主要是對(duì)犯罪類詞匯的,如violent crimes, crimes against property, rape, robbery等,考生平時(shí)閱讀及詞匯學(xué)習(xí)一定要各種類型都涉及一點(diǎn),掌握一些基本的專業(yè)詞匯。其次這類從一個(gè)人的角度去看的文章,既要注意文中主人公的主觀態(tài)度,也要關(guān)注客觀事實(shí)。題目很可能把2者混淆起來(lái)考查考生。
精剖細(xì)析:
32.What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?
答案: B)Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville。
解析:?jiǎn)柵魅斯鳛橛浾叩闹饕ぷ髀氊?zé)。題目比較簡(jiǎn)單。文章開頭就給出"Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area." 且后面文章都是介紹女主人公報(bào)道的也都是鎮(zhèn)上發(fā)生的犯罪行為。A和C選項(xiàng)范圍大了,D選項(xiàng)范圍有小了。只有B選項(xiàng)正確。
33.What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?
答案:D)It has fewer violent crimes than big cities。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。4個(gè)選項(xiàng)乍看都是和小鎮(zhèn)治安有關(guān)。需要一個(gè)一個(gè)去排除。A選項(xiàng)文章并沒有給出小鎮(zhèn)以前和現(xiàn)在的治安狀況對(duì)比,排除。B選項(xiàng),文章的確提到了rapes,但是并沒有提及在downtown areas的情況,且Greenville是個(gè)鎮(zhèn)。C選項(xiàng)assaults常發(fā)生在near the bars downtown不是school campuses。如果做題時(shí)沒做好筆記,關(guān)注好細(xì)節(jié),很容易選錯(cuò)。
34. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Green Ville area?
答案:A) There are a wide range of cases。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵詞是"crimes against property",后部分的聽力中有"Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting."說明在Florence負(fù)責(zé)的犯罪行為中,和財(cái)產(chǎn)有關(guān)的占了大部分(make up組成)。說明這種犯罪率比較高。A選項(xiàng)適合。C選項(xiàng)乍看像是答案,但文中并給出該類案件正在不斷升級(jí)。排除。
35. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?
答案:A) Write about something pleasant。
解析:此題聽到prefer就知道答案應(yīng)所鎖定于聽力后。聽力已經(jīng)很明顯給出"She would prefer to start..." C和D沒有提到。B選項(xiàng),文中的確提到了local news or politics,但這只是她可能想要做的事情的舉例而已,并不是非常明確就一定要去做。"omething more interesting and less unpleasant"表明應(yīng)該選A。
Section C Compound Dictation
聽力原文
In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it’s picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That’s particularly true when it comes to the work place’, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups:maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career。
36 flavors 37 confused 38 particularly 39 behavior 40 variety 41 overwhelmed 42 senior 43 strategies 44 who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision 45 why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. 46 a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career。
交談中請(qǐng)勿輕信匯款、中獎(jiǎng)信息、陌生電話,勿使用外掛軟件。 36-46解析:
本次的復(fù)合式聽寫講的是決策的問題?,F(xiàn)代人面臨著越來(lái)越多的決策,但是太多的選擇會(huì)給人帶來(lái)很多負(fù)作用。Barry Schwartz對(duì)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的決策做了觀察實(shí)驗(yàn),把學(xué)生分為兩類決策者:滿足者和大化者。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)決策大化者盡管普遍比滿足者獲得薪水高,但是卻并不對(duì)他們的決策感到開心。 這次的復(fù)合式聽寫稍微有些難度。需要注意的是需要加s的詞flavors和strategies,在填寫單詞的時(shí)候要注意單復(fù)數(shù)。另外還有2個(gè)要填過去式或過去分詞。此外,behavior的英式和美式拼寫都可以。 這次寫的三句句子中第一句后半句比較簡(jiǎn)單,除了注意單詞exhausting不要寫成exhausted之外,后一句很快就可以寫出來(lái)。第二句why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities might also a world of less opportunities這句比較長(zhǎng),但是結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡(jiǎn)單,單詞也不難,考生要注意。第三句分為兩部分,后半部分一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。前半句重點(diǎn)搭配為be aware of,后半句的turn down和pursue都是考生應(yīng)掌握的詞匯。
2011年6月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)聽力真題答案解析
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
11.
M: I left 20 pages here to copy. Here is the receipt。
W: I'm sorry, sir. But we're a little behind. Could you come back in a few minutes?
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案:C. She has not got the man's copies ready。
解析:本題考的是文化場(chǎng)景,出現(xiàn)了copy 等詞,還是比較基礎(chǔ)的。原文中男生想出示收據(jù)來(lái)拿復(fù)印材料,然后女生說“ we're a little behind. ”(我們動(dòng)作稍落后)意思就是還沒復(fù)印好。
12.
W: I hope you're not too put out with me for the delay. I have to stop by friends' home to pick up a book on my way here。
M: Well, that's not a big deal. But you might at least phone if you know you're going to keep someone waiting。
Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?
答案:B. She was late for the appointment。
解析:生活類場(chǎng)景題。注意對(duì)"be put out with sb"(對(duì)……生氣)的理解;文中女生首先對(duì)自己的遲到表示歉意并解釋原因;男生說不是大問題,但是你至少得打個(gè)電話給我。因此,我們知道女生遲到了。
13.
W: Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student union, isn't he?
M: Well, that guy won't be able to win the election unless he gets some majority vote from women students. And I'm not sure about that。
Q: What does the man mean?
答案:C. It won't be easy for Mark to win the election。
解析:對(duì)話屬于學(xué)習(xí)類場(chǎng)景,出現(xiàn)了majority , student union,和 candidate等相關(guān)詞匯??键c(diǎn)在于對(duì)話中的肯定與否定類,即前面一個(gè)人提出觀點(diǎn),后面一個(gè)人采取‘取非’的態(tài)度;文中第一人說Mark是學(xué)生會(huì)主席的不二人選,而第二人則說除非Mark獲得了大多數(shù)女生的選票,否則是贏不了的,因此還不能確定。
14.
M: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam. I've located your luggage.It was left behind in Paris and won't arrive until later this evening。
W: Oh, I can't believe this. Have it deliver to my hotel then , I guess。
Q: What happened to the woman's luggage?
答案:A. It failed to arrive at its destination in time。
解析:考短對(duì)話??紙?chǎng)景,旅游場(chǎng)景,其中hotel , luggage 等單詞可幫助學(xué)生直接定位;第一個(gè)人(估計(jì)是工作人員)對(duì)旅客道歉說行李被落在巴黎了,要到深夜才能送到。旅客說這讓讓她難以置信,然后要求就把行李送到賓館。由此可知,女士的行李還沒有到達(dá)目的地。
15.
W: I don't think we have enough information for our presentation, but we have to give it tomorrow. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it。
M: Yeah, at this point we 'll have to make do with what we've got。
Q: What does the man suggest they do?
答案:A. Just make use of whatever information is available。
解析:關(guān)鍵詞presentation, 為校園場(chǎng)景??键c(diǎn)為第二人建議題,"at this point, we’ll have to do…"明確表示建議,將建議后的內(nèi)容聽出來(lái)就可以了。這里“we 'll have to make do with what we've got?!币馑际恰拔覀円萍永檬稚弦延械臇|西”。
16.
M: I am taking this great course-Psychology of Language, it's really interesting. Since you are a psychology major, you should sign up for it。
W: Actually I tried to do that, but they told me I have to take language studies first。
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案:D. The woman isn’t qualified to take the course the man mentioned。
解析:關(guān)鍵詞course,為校園場(chǎng)景。16題為典型的第二人but轉(zhuǎn)折后出考題,音頻中出現(xiàn)的psychology其實(shí)不需要知道意思,前面已經(jīng)有course來(lái)解釋了。這和六級(jí)一貫的難詞前后有對(duì)其的解釋的原則一致,并且psychology是六級(jí)學(xué)生應(yīng)該掌握的詞匯。 文中男生向女生推薦語(yǔ)言心理學(xué)這門課,女生說她有嘗試報(bào)名,但是在參加課程前得先進(jìn)行語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí),因此推出,女生還沒有資格參加該課程。
17.
W: Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate? No wonder they don't get along。
M: Well, maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said. There are two sides to every story you know。
Q: What does the man imply about Larry and his roommate?
答案:A. They are both to blame。
解析:17題為租房與住房類,出現(xiàn)了諸如roommate,get along等詞匯。并且第二人用maybe給出建議,作為考點(diǎn)。女生首先提到Larry對(duì)室友的說話態(tài)度不好;然后男生提到有可能他的室友講了些什么,Larry才會(huì)有如此反應(yīng)。每件事都是有兩面性的。因此雙方可能都有責(zé)任。
18.
M: We don't have the resources to stop those people from buying us out unless a miracle happens. This may be the end of us。
W: I still have hope we can get help from the bank. After all we don't need that much money。
Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?
答案:A. They are in desperate need of financial assistance。
解析:18題為商務(wù)話題,關(guān)鍵詞 resources,考題類型為觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度類,答案出現(xiàn)在第二人woman回答處,出現(xiàn)不絕對(duì)模凌兩可的詞匯給出觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度,此為本題考點(diǎn)。第一人話中講到“buy sb. out”表示收購(gòu);對(duì)于這個(gè)詞不認(rèn)知問題不大,后面給出了提示,表明發(fā)生了問題。而第二人給出了建議。具體而言,第一人說情況很不樂觀,第二人說還有希望,能向銀行求助。由此可知,他們的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況不佳,急需幫助。
Conversation One
聽力原文
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard。
W: You know I’ve often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for them。
M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn’t happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves。
W: Yes, and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted things like that. After all, it’s not really funny to be like that。
M: Oh, I think that’s because we’re embarrassed. We don’t know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we may get like that, so we laugh。
M: What about the custard pie routine?
W: What do you mean ‘custard pie routine’?
M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person’s face。
W: That never makes me laugh much, because you can guess what’s going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must because of the sort of the thing we’d all love to do once in a while and never quiet have the courage to。
M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings。
W: It must have come a bit expensive。
M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china。
19. C)We derive some humorous satisfaction from their misfortune。
解析:從But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves。一句中,可知,我們會(huì)嘲笑他人的不幸,是因?yàn)槲覀兛梢詮闹械玫揭环N幽默的滿足,derive from 意為得到,取得, make a fool of 意為愚弄,出洋相,所以正確答案是C
20. C) They don't know how to cope with the situation
解析:人們之所以會(huì)嘲笑胖子或身體有殘缺的人,是因?yàn)槿藗儾恢撊绾翁幚砟菢拥那闆r,文中有句有真相"We don’t know how to cope with the situation",所以正確答案是C
21. A) They themselves would like to do it but don't dare to。
解析:custard pie 意為“牛奶餅”,題目問的是,為什么人們看到有人往老板臉上扔牛奶餅,會(huì)覺得很有趣?對(duì)話中也幾乎是原封不動(dòng)地給出了答案,那是因?yàn)槲覀円蚕胱鰠s不敢做。would like to do 是love to do 的同義替換詞, dare to do 又是have courage to do 的同義替換詞。
22. C) To relieve her feelings。
解析:relieve feelings意為緩和情緒,對(duì)話中提到,She said it relieved her feelings. 這位男生的阿姨自己親口表示,當(dāng)她被激怒時(shí),會(huì)朝別人扔茶杯,來(lái)緩和自己的情緒,而不是如選項(xiàng)A 所說,to irritate them ,激怒別人。所以正確答案是C
這篇對(duì)話探討的是心理問題,有些小抽象。但是大家千萬(wàn)不要被這陣勢(shì)嚇到了,只要事先閱讀過一遍題目,聽對(duì)話時(shí)定位準(zhǔn)確,找到關(guān)鍵詞,很多問題便迎刃而解啦。四個(gè)問題都是按照文章的順序提問的,第一個(gè)和后一個(gè)問題如大家所料,在對(duì)話的開頭和結(jié)尾部分,所以開頭和結(jié)尾仍是要嚴(yán)防死守之處。除此以外,同義替換詞依然是重點(diǎn)考察項(xiàng)目,如would like to do , dare to do。這篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話雖然很多答案能從對(duì)話中可以直接找到相對(duì)應(yīng)的原句,但是在做聽力時(shí),還是要仔細(xì)聆聽,定位關(guān)鍵句,否則漏掉一句,做起題目來(lái)可能就會(huì)比較吃力了。
Conversation Two
聽力原文
W: Your name Sanjay Kumar is that correct?
M: Yes, madam。
W: You claim you are traveling on a scholarship from Delhi University。
M: That’s right。
W: Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage. Do you admit that?
M: Yes, but…
W:According to the statement you made, you had never seen the hand gun before it was found in your bag. Do you still maintain that?
M: But it’s true. I swear it。
W: Mmm, you do realize Mr. Kumar that to bring a hand gun into Hong Kong without proper authorization is a serious offense。
M: But I didn’t bring it. I … I mean I didn’t know anything about it. It wasn’t there when I left Delhi. My bags were searched. It was part of the airport security check。
W: Maybe so, but someone managed to get that hand gun onto the aircraft or it couldn’t have been there。
M: Someone but not me。
W: Tell me , where was your personal bag during the flight?
M: I had it down by my feet between me and the man in the next seat。
M: He was the only person who could have opened my bag while I was asleep. It must have been him。
W: I see. Have you any idea who this man was?
M: He told me his name, Alfred Foster. He was very friendly, after I woke up that is. He hadn’t spoken before。
W: Alfred Foster, we can check that on the passenger list。
M: He said he had a car coming to meet him. He offered me a lift。
W: Oh, Why should he do that?
M: So he can get his handgun back, that’s why. Please find him, Madam。
Questions 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard
23. D) Bringing a handgun into Hong Kong
解析:suspect 的意思是懷疑,題目問, Sanjay Kumar 被懷疑什么?對(duì)話的開頭,女警察便說到,“Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage”,也就是說在Sanjay Kumar 的包里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一把手槍,由此可得出選項(xiàng)D
24. D) He is suspected of having slipped something into Kumar's bag
解析:從對(duì)話中,我們了解到,Sanjay Kumar 并沒有攜帶槍支,而是坐在他身邊的Alfred Foster 栽贓嫁禍,趁Sanjay Kumar 睡著時(shí),將手槍放進(jìn)他的包里,slip 有暗中塞入的意思,對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)D
25. B) Find Alfred Foster。
解析:對(duì)話的后一句已給出了答案,"Please find him, Madam."Sanjay Kumar 請(qǐng)求警察能夠找到Alfred Foster
這是一篇審訊對(duì)話,在近三年的六級(jí)長(zhǎng)對(duì)話聽力中,還沒有涉及,但是審訊對(duì)話并不難,我們可以從兩人的語(yǔ)氣,稱呼中得出,如Sanjay Kumar 稱那位女士為madam,女士的口氣也比較硬,如用了“Do you admit that,tell me"等語(yǔ)句。這篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話既考察了對(duì)大意的理解,也考察了對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的把握,其中24題,更像是一道推理題,對(duì)話中并沒有明確指出Alfred Foster 把手槍塞入了Sanjay Kumar 的包內(nèi),但我們可以從Sanjay Kumar 的回答中推理出相應(yīng)的結(jié)論,23、25題對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的考察在對(duì)話中可以直接找到出處,總的來(lái)說,第二篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話還是比較簡(jiǎn)單的。
Section B
Passage One
聽力原文
Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia, "And why not? We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go. We may as well travel while we're fit and healthy. "
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moineau, founder of Tselana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Galápagos. "We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ", Ashley Toft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing。

篇章類型及提要:社會(huì)現(xiàn)象,經(jīng)濟(jì)相關(guān)
聽力點(diǎn)睛:
本文介紹了在總體市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)不景氣的前提下,旅游業(yè)異軍突起現(xiàn)象及其前因后果。文章開篇就介紹總的社會(huì)背景是各種不景氣前提下,外出旅游成為人們的選擇之一,緊接著以一個(gè)例子來(lái)證明。然后旅行社相關(guān)的權(quán)威人物的話語(yǔ)中更是證明目前旅游業(yè)正風(fēng)頭正勁。文章中出現(xiàn)的金融詞匯,人名、地名及職務(wù)名稱,如investment, investment, Namibia, Namibia, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore等。一定程度上會(huì)讓考生覺得頭疼,且分散注意力。這就需要考生有一定對(duì)重要信息的提取能力。人名、地名及職務(wù)名稱等聽過有個(gè)印象就好,不于糾結(jié)。
精剖細(xì)析:
26. According to the speaker, why are some people willing to spend their money on travel these days?
答案:B)They think travel gives them their money's worth。
解析:推斷題。本題問如今一些人愿意把錢花在旅游上的原因。第一題通常從聽力開頭去定位答案。文章第一句"Everyone is looking for a good investment", 緊接著說明但如今股票市場(chǎng),貨幣投資和公司都不太景氣(crashing),一些人就發(fā)現(xiàn)旅行不失為一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的“投資”,( taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move) 這錢花得也值。
27. What is Tselana Travel planning to do, according to its founder?
答案:D) Launch a new program of adventure trips。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題??吹絋selana Travel直接鎖定目標(biāo),且聽力中也給出了"planning to introduce..."排除其他選秀。 旅游業(yè)興盛起來(lái),那么相應(yīng)的旅行社等必然會(huì)采取措施,爭(zhēng)取吸引客戶獲得經(jīng)濟(jì)利益。所以聽的時(shí)候我們要格外注意,要對(duì)旅行社的行為要注意聽。p
28. According to Ashley Toft, managing director of Explore, what is changing now with regard to travels?
答案:B) The way people travel。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵詞"Ashley Toft"和"changing",考生容易選C選項(xiàng),因?yàn)檫@個(gè)Ashley Toft也提到了last-minute bookings數(shù)字的增長(zhǎng)。但是一定要把文章聽完,后給出了"Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing." 2個(gè)選項(xiàng)一對(duì)比,B選項(xiàng)更為合適。 The way people travel和how we travel用到了同義替換。也再次說明,聽力首尾都是聽力??嫉闹攸c(diǎn)區(qū)域,不可掉以輕心。
Passage Two
聽力原文
Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven’t been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she’d also accepted a date with the most charming men she’d ever met。
“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them?!?BR> “Receptionist in an attorney’s office and a welder at a construction site?!?She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter’s date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men’s and women’s work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage。
“Who's going to mow the lawn? ” I asked my husband this morning。
“Oh, I will,” he answered politely. ”That's men's work. ”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn?!?BR> The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself。
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard。
篇章類型及提要:社會(huì)現(xiàn)象,兩性關(guān)系
聽力點(diǎn)睛:
本文介紹作者對(duì)男女關(guān)系的老套傳統(tǒng)觀念持質(zhì)疑態(tài)度,并舉例證明其觀點(diǎn)。本文難詞不多,2個(gè)例子也以對(duì)話為主,所以難度適中。文章第一句"Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. "非常直白的表明了作者的觀點(diǎn)。文章難度不大的,題目往往會(huì)比較討巧,所以一定不能放松警惕。題目中的以推理為主的題目會(huì)相對(duì)比較多。
精剖細(xì)析:
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
答案:B) The changing roles played by men and women。
解析:主旨題。主要考察考生對(duì)主旨的理解。注意這里A選項(xiàng)容易讓人混淆。首句中的old stereotypes會(huì)誤導(dǎo)考生去選A。但A選項(xiàng)并不完整。文章不是講老套傳統(tǒng)的男女觀念。而是對(duì)此的一個(gè)質(zhì)疑,傳統(tǒng)男女的角色正在不斷改變。這也是六級(jí)做題的一個(gè)技巧。選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)和文章有關(guān)的重點(diǎn)單詞,并不一定就是答案。選項(xiàng)還是都得仔細(xì)閱讀。
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
答案:A) Offer more creative and practical ideas than men。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。此題不難,關(guān)鍵詞"office meetings',文章中直接給出了"they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues."排除其他選項(xiàng)。
31. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
答案:C) To show that women are capable of doing what men do。
解析:推斷題。題目問主人公為什么要自己來(lái)修整草坪。文章后是以一段對(duì)話體現(xiàn)。此題需要簡(jiǎn)單推理。首先主人公很明確的表示自己認(rèn)為傳統(tǒng)男女的關(guān)系及角色扮演正在不斷改變,女性可以做好傳統(tǒng)觀念里男人應(yīng)該做的事。 自己女兒就是一個(gè)很好的例子,是焊接工(welder),而女兒男友則是律師事務(wù)所的前臺(tái)接待。那么必然推斷出作者本身自己的行為舉止也是貫徹自己的這一想法。推斷選C,排除其他選項(xiàng)。
Passage Three
聽力原文
Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn’t much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There’re also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes’ reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year
Florence Hayes
Green Ville
篇章類型及提要:
聽力點(diǎn)睛:
本文主要從Florence Hayes,一位來(lái)自Green Ville Journal的記者的工作揭示Green Ville的治安狀況。難詞不多,難度適中,難詞主要是對(duì)犯罪類詞匯的,如violent crimes, crimes against property, rape, robbery等,考生平時(shí)閱讀及詞匯學(xué)習(xí)一定要各種類型都涉及一點(diǎn),掌握一些基本的專業(yè)詞匯。其次這類從一個(gè)人的角度去看的文章,既要注意文中主人公的主觀態(tài)度,也要關(guān)注客觀事實(shí)。題目很可能把2者混淆起來(lái)考查考生。
精剖細(xì)析:
32.What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?
答案: B)Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville。
解析:?jiǎn)柵魅斯鳛橛浾叩闹饕ぷ髀氊?zé)。題目比較簡(jiǎn)單。文章開頭就給出"Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area." 且后面文章都是介紹女主人公報(bào)道的也都是鎮(zhèn)上發(fā)生的犯罪行為。A和C選項(xiàng)范圍大了,D選項(xiàng)范圍有小了。只有B選項(xiàng)正確。
33.What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?
答案:D)It has fewer violent crimes than big cities。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。4個(gè)選項(xiàng)乍看都是和小鎮(zhèn)治安有關(guān)。需要一個(gè)一個(gè)去排除。A選項(xiàng)文章并沒有給出小鎮(zhèn)以前和現(xiàn)在的治安狀況對(duì)比,排除。B選項(xiàng),文章的確提到了rapes,但是并沒有提及在downtown areas的情況,且Greenville是個(gè)鎮(zhèn)。C選項(xiàng)assaults常發(fā)生在near the bars downtown不是school campuses。如果做題時(shí)沒做好筆記,關(guān)注好細(xì)節(jié),很容易選錯(cuò)。
34. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Green Ville area?
答案:A) There are a wide range of cases。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵詞是"crimes against property",后部分的聽力中有"Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting."說明在Florence負(fù)責(zé)的犯罪行為中,和財(cái)產(chǎn)有關(guān)的占了大部分(make up組成)。說明這種犯罪率比較高。A選項(xiàng)適合。C選項(xiàng)乍看像是答案,但文中并給出該類案件正在不斷升級(jí)。排除。
35. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?
答案:A) Write about something pleasant。
解析:此題聽到prefer就知道答案應(yīng)所鎖定于聽力后。聽力已經(jīng)很明顯給出"She would prefer to start..." C和D沒有提到。B選項(xiàng),文中的確提到了local news or politics,但這只是她可能想要做的事情的舉例而已,并不是非常明確就一定要去做。"omething more interesting and less unpleasant"表明應(yīng)該選A。

聽力原文
In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it’s picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That’s particularly true when it comes to the work place’, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups:maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career。

本次的復(fù)合式聽寫講的是決策的問題?,F(xiàn)代人面臨著越來(lái)越多的決策,但是太多的選擇會(huì)給人帶來(lái)很多負(fù)作用。Barry Schwartz對(duì)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的決策做了觀察實(shí)驗(yàn),把學(xué)生分為兩類決策者:滿足者和大化者。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)決策大化者盡管普遍比滿足者獲得薪水高,但是卻并不對(duì)他們的決策感到開心。 這次的復(fù)合式聽寫稍微有些難度。需要注意的是需要加s的詞flavors和strategies,在填寫單詞的時(shí)候要注意單復(fù)數(shù)。另外還有2個(gè)要填過去式或過去分詞。此外,behavior的英式和美式拼寫都可以。 這次寫的三句句子中第一句后半句比較簡(jiǎn)單,除了注意單詞exhausting不要寫成exhausted之外,后一句很快就可以寫出來(lái)。第二句why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities might also a world of less opportunities這句比較長(zhǎng),但是結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡(jiǎn)單,單詞也不難,考生要注意。第三句分為兩部分,后半部分一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。前半句重點(diǎn)搭配為be aware of,后半句的turn down和pursue都是考生應(yīng)掌握的詞匯。
