Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

【听前预测】

1．四项均以动词原形开头。

2．两项提到同事(colleague)。

结论：对话应该是工作场景，可能提问接下来要怎么做或建议某人做什么。

【解析】本题是建议题，考查女士建议男士如何做，应重点关注女士所说内容。男士说生物项目遇到麻烦了，他的同事和他意见不同。女士建议他们相互妥协，尝试达到双赢。可见女士建议男士妥协，故选C。反问句Why don’t you do sth. ?常用于提建议。

2．B

M: How does Nancy like the new dress she bought in Rome?

W: She said she would never have bought an Italian style dress if she had known Mary had already got such a dress.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【听前预测】

1．四项提及两个人物——Mary和Nancy。

结论：对话很可能与买衣服有关，注意区分两个人物的行为。

【听前预测】

1．四项均以动词原形开头。

2．四项中提到了三个人物(George，Martha，her daughter)

结论：本题各项间没有相同成分，缺乏联系，因此仅靠选项很难推断对话内容。另外可推测本题提问某人的行为，注意选项中提及的人物及其行为。

【解析】本题问女士将先做什么。对话中男士问女士出门前不会要把盘子都洗完吧，接着又说，如果他们不在25分钟内去接乔治和玛莎，他们就无法准时到达电影院了。女士说玛莎打电话来说她女儿病了，他们今晚不去了。由此可知，他们不需要去接乔治和玛莎，所以女士会先洗盘子，故选A。本题需要理解整个对话内容才能做出正确选择。

4．C

M: You’ve been hanging on to the phone for quite a while. Who were you talking with?

W: Oh, it was Sally. You know, she always has the latest news in town and can’t wait to talk it over with me.

Q: What do we learn about Sally from the conversation?

【听前预测】

1．四项均以she开头。

M: If you leave the car with me, I will fix it for you this afternoon.

【听前预测】四项均为职业。

结论：对话提问某人的职业。

【解析】女士说这辆车很难挂上一挡，离合也打滑。男士说如果把车放在他那，他下午可以帮忙修。由此可推断，男士是机修工，故选B。mechanic意为“机修工”。

6．D

M: Kate, why does the downtown area look deserted now?

W: Well, there used to be some really good stores, but lots of them moved out to the mall.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

Q: Why does the man suggest the woman wear long sleeves?

【听前预测】

Conversation One

M: Hello, and [9] welcome to our program "Working Abroad". Our guest this evening is a Londoner, who lives and works in Italy. Her name’s Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence. How long have you been living there?

W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, [10] I planned to stay for only 6 months.

M: Why did you change your mind?

W: Well, I’m a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes, and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italy’s top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay.

M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo?

W: No, [11] I’ve been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact.

M: So does that mean you design for several different companies now?

W: Yes, that’s right. I’ve designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and in the last four years, I’ve also been designing for the British company, Burberry’s.

M: What have you been designing for them?

W: Mostly handbags, and small leather goods.

M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982?

W: Oh, yes. [12] It’s become a lot more competitive, because the quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But Italian quality and design is still world-famous.

M: And do you ever think of returning to live in England?

W: No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian lifestyle.

M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan.

W: It was a pleasure.

9. Where does this talk most probably take place?

10. What was the woman’s original plan when she went to Florence?

11. What has the woman been doing for a living since 1988?

12. What do we learn about the change in Italy’s fashion industry?

9．A

【听前预测】由四个选项的特点可知，本题是对地点的考查。听

音时要以四个地点词为线索，集中精力听与之相关的内容，然后再根据问题做出判断。

【解析】在对话的开头，男士说：“欢迎参加我们的节目‘工作在国外’。我们今晚的嘉宾是一个伦敦人……”因此可以推断该对话发生在演播室，故A项正确。

【听前预测】

1．四项均为不定式短语。

2．两项出现了there。

3．两项含有与居住或暂住相关的词(live，stay)，两项含有与工作相关的词(find a better job，sell…goods)。

1．四项均为现在分词短语。

2．四项为四种不同的工作类型。

结论：本题考查某人所从事的工作，听音重点为designing fashion items、modeling、employee for Ferragamo和sales agent for Burberrys。

【解析】对话中女士提到自己从1988年开始做自由设计师，故

可将B、C、D三项排除。接下来男士又问她现在是不是在为几家不同的公司做设计，女士回答说是的，因此可进一步确定A为正确答案。

12．B

【听前预测】

1．四项主语均为it。

2．四项均含有与商业相关的词(profits，competitive，lost many customers，attracted a lot more designers)。

3．三项含有表消极意义的词(decline in its profits，more competitive，lost many customers)。

4．一项含有表积极意义的词(attracted a lot more designers)。

结论：本题考查的内容与公司或行业的发展情况有关。听音时要先弄清楚变化是积极的还是消极的，然后再在attracted a lot more designers和decline in its profits、lost many customers、more competitive 之间作出判断。

【解析】对话中当男士问到自1982年以来意大利的时尚业有什么变化时，女士说现在的竞争更加激烈，故B项为正确答案。

Conversation Two

M: So, Claire, you’re into drama!

W: Yes, I have a master’s degree in drama and theatre. At the moment, I’m hoping to get onto a Ph. D. program.

M: What excites you about drama?

W: Well, [13] I find it’s a communicative way to study people and you learn how to read people in drama. So usually I can understand what people are saying even though they might be lying.

M: That would be useful.

W: Yeah, it’s very useful for me as well. I’m an English lecturer, so I use a lot of drama in my classes such as role plays. [14] And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well. At the moment, I’m hoping to get onto a Ph. D. course. I’d like to concentrate on Asian drama and try to bring Asian theatre to the world’s attention. I don’t know how successful I would be, but, here’s hoping.

M: Oh, I’m sure you’ll be successful. Now, Claire, what do you do for stage fright?

W: Ah, stage fright! Well, many actors have that problem. I get stage fright every time I’m going to teach a new class. The night before, I usually can’t sleep.

M: What? For teaching?

W: Yes. I get really bad stage fright. [15] But the minute I step into the classroom or get onto the stage, it just all falls into place. Then I just feel like: Yeah, this is what I mean to do. And I’m fine.

M: Wow, that’s cool!

13. Why does the woman find study in drama and theatre useful?

14. How did the woman’s students respond to her way of teaching

1．四项主语均为it，且四项均含有her。

2．四项都含有表积极意义的词(attract more public attention，improves，strengthens，better)。

结论：本题考查it对女士造成的积极影响。听音时要先弄清楚it 指什么，然后再以四个选项中的关键词为线索，注意听具体的影响是什么。

【解析】当被问到对戏剧中的什么感兴趣时，女士回答说：“我发现戏剧是一种了解他人的交流方式，并且你能学会如何了解戏剧中的人。因此我通常能够理解别人所说的话，即使他们在撒谎。”因此可知D 项为正确答案。

【听前预测】

1．四项均为副词。

2．两项表消极意义(passively，skeptically)，一项表积极意义(positively)，一项为中性(sensitively)。

Section B

Passage One

【听力原文】

In January 1989, [16] the Community of European Railways presented their proposal for a high speed pan-European train network extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to Poland by the year 2020.If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in Europe. [17] Journeys between major cities will take half the time they take today. Brussels will be only one and a half hours from Paris. The quickest way to get from Paris to Frankfurt,

from Barcelona to Madrid will be by train, not plane. When the network gets complete, it will integrate three types of railway line: totally new high speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, upgraded lines which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225kilometers per hour, and existing lines for local connections and distribution of freight. If business people can choose between a three-hour train journey from city center to city center and a one-hour flight, they’ll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane any more. [18] If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to and from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic. jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first. [19] Since France introduced the first 260-kilometer-per-hour high speed train service between Paris and Lyons in 1981,the trains have achieved higher and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high speed trains. If people accept the Community of European Railways’plan, the 21st century will be the new age of the train.

16. What is the proposal presented by the Community of European Railways?

17. What will happen when the proposal becomes a reality?

18. Why will business people prefer a three-hour train journey to a

one-hour flight?

19. When did France introduce the first high speed train service?

【整体预测】

16. D

【解题思路】

1．三项含有与铁路有关的词(railroad，railway，train)。

2．三项提到了欧洲(European，Europe)。

结论：问题很可能与欧洲的铁路有关。

19．A

【解题思路】选项都是具体的年份，因此本题考查的很可能是某事发生的时间。

【解析】短文末尾处提到，法国于1981年在巴黎和里昂之间引入了首趟时速达260千米的高速火车。听音时要重点留意文章中提到年代的部分。

Passage Two

【听力原文】

Western doctors are beginning to understand what traditional healers have always known that [20] the body and the mind are inseparable. Until recently, modem urban physicians heal the body, psychiatrists the mind, and priests the soul. However, the medical world is now paying more attention to holistic medicine which is an approach based on the belief that people’s state of mind can make them sick or speed their recovery from sickness. [21] Several studies show that the effectiveness of a certain drug often depends on the patient’s expectations of it. For example, in one recent study, psychiatrists at a major hospital tried to see how patients could be made calm. They divided them into two groups. One group was given a drug while the other group received a harmless substance instead of medicine without their knowledge. Surprisingly, more patients in the second group showed the desired effect than those in the first group. In study after study, there’s a positive reaction in almost one third of the patients taking harmless substances. How was this possible? How can such a substance have an effect on the body? [22] Evidence from a 1997 study at the University of California shows that several patients who received such substances were able to produce their own natural drug, that is, as they took the substance their brains released natural chemicals that act like a drug. Scientists theorized that the amount of these chemicals released by a person’s brain quite possibly indicates how much faith the person has in his or her

doctor.

20. According to the speaker, what are western doctors beginning to understand?

21. What does the recent study at a major hospital seem to prove?

22. What evidence does the 1997 study at the University of California produce?

【整体预测】

快速浏览本部分所有选项，由其中的关键词doctors、patients、recovery、medicines、drugs可大致推断，该篇文章很可能与某种疾病的治疗方法有关。需要重点关注相关信息。

20．C

【解题思路】

1．三项含有与治疗疾病有关的词(recovery，healing，medical)。

2．两项含有patients(病人)。

结论：问题很可能与治疗疾病有关。

【解析】短文开头提到，西方医生开始明白传统医疗者一直都清楚的观点，即身体和心理密不可分。

21．D

【解题思路】四个选项分别提到了医疗领域的四种现象，因此本题考查的内容很可能与医学研究的结论有关。

【解析】短文指出，一些研究表明，某种药物的疗效往往取决于病人对它的期望，接下来又提到，一家大医院的心理医生做了一项试

验，证实了这个结论。Several studies show that…后面往往引出结论性的内容，听音时要重点留意。

22．B

【解题思路】

1．两项含有与效果有关的词(effective，effect)。

2．四项都含有与治疗方式有关的词(drugs，mind，remedies，medication)。

结论：问题很可能与某种治疗方式的疗效有关。

【解析】短文末尾部分指出，1997年，加利福尼亚大学的研究证据表明，一些服用了某种无害物质的病人体内能够产生一种天然的化学物质，其作用与药物类似，而药物是用来治疗疾病的，可以帮助病人恢复健康。这道题有一定的难度，需在理解文章后半部分的内容后，再对其加以总结概括方能得出正确答案。

Passage Three

【听力原文】

So we’ve already talked a bit about the growth of extreme sports like rock-climbing. [25] As psychologists, we need to ask ourselves: Why is this person doing this? Why do people take these risks and put themselves in danger when they don’t have to? [23] One common trait among risk-takers is that they enjoy strong feelings or sensations. We call this trait sensation-seeking. A sensation-seeker is someone who’s always looking for new sensations. What else do we know about

sensation-seekers? Well, as I said, sensation-seekers like strong emotions. You can see this trait in many parts of a person’s life, not just in extreme sports. For example, many sensation-seekers enjoy hard rock music. They like the loud sound and strong emotion of the songs. Similarly, sensation-seekers enjoy frightening horror movies. They like the feeling of being scared and horrified while watching the movie. This feeling is even stronger for extreme sports where the person faces real danger. Sensation-seekers feel the danger is very exciting. In addition, sensation-seekers like new experiences that force them to push their personal limits. [24] For them, repeating the same things every day is boring.Many sensation-seekers choose jobs that involve risk, such as starting a new business or being an emergency room doctor. These jobs are different every day, so they never know what will happen. That’s why many sensation-seekers also like extreme sports. When you do rock-climbing, you never know what will happen. The activity is always new and different.

23. According to the speaker, what is a common trait among risk-takers?

24. What do sensation-seekers find boring?

25. What is the speaker’s profession?

【整体预测】

快速浏览本部分所有选项，23题和24题的选项说的都是某人做

的事情，由此可以大致推断，该篇文章很可能与某人做的事情有关。需要重点关注相关信息。

23．A

【解题思路】三项含有表示喜欢的词(enjoying，being fond of, dreaming of)，因此本题很可能考查某人或某类人的兴趣爱好。

【解析】短文指出，寻求刺激的人的一个共同特点就是喜欢刺激的感觉。原文中的strong feelings or sensations与A项中的strong feelings and emotions为同义转述。

24．D

【解题思路】四项都含有表示动作的词(working，watching，listening to，doing)，这些动词都以动名词的形式出现，因此本题很可能是以what提问，与做什么事情有关。

【解析】短文末尾部分提到，追求刺激的人喜欢那些迫使他们挑战极限的新经历，而每天重复相同的事情对于他们来说很无聊。原文中的repeating the same things与D项中的doing daily routines是同义转述。

25．B

【解题思路】四项都是职业的名称，因此本题考查的很可能是人物的身份。

【解析】本题的出题顺序有违常规，本题是这篇短文的最后一个问题，出题点却在短文开头部分，因此给答题造成了一定的难度。短文开头提到，作为心理学家，我们需要问自己如下几个问题……由此

翻译在最后 Conversation One M: Guess what? The worst food I've ever had was in France. W: Really? That's odd. I thought the French were all good cooks. M:Yes. That's right. I suppose it's really like anywhere else, though. You know, some places are good. Some bad. But it's really all our own fault. W: What do you mean? M: Well, it was the first time I'd been to France. This was years ago when I was at school. I went there with my parents' friends, from my father's school. They'd hired a coach to take them to Switzerland. W: A school trip? M: Right. Most of them had never been abroad before. We'd crossed the English Channel at night, and we set off through France, and breakfast time arrived, and the coach driver had arranged for us to stop at this little café. Th ere we all were, tired and hungry, and then we made the great discovery. W: What was that? M: Bacon and eggs. W: Fantastic! The real English breakfast. M: Yes. Anyway, we didn't know any better— so we had it, and ugh...! W: What was it like? Disgusting? M: Oh, it was incredible! They just got a bowl and put some fat in it. And then they put some bacon in the fat, broke an egg over the top and put the whole lot in the oven for about ten minutes. W: In the oven! You're joking. You can't cook bacon and eggs in the oven! M:Well. They must have done it that way. It was hot, but it wasn't cooked. There was just this egg floating about in gallons of fat and raw bacon. W: Did you actually eat it? M: No! Nobody did. They all wanted to turn round and go home. You know, back to teabags and fish and chips. You can't blame them really. Anyway, the next night we were all given another foreign speciality. W: What was that? M: Snails. That really finished them off. Lovely holiday that was! Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. Question 1. What did the woman think of the French? Question 2. Who did the man travel with on his first trip to Switzerland? Question 3. What does the man say about the breakfast at the little French café?

I could see there was a lot of talent there, and some great potential, particularly in their product development. I just had to harness that somehow. W: Was innovation at the core of the project?

2012年12月英语六级考试听力短文原文

2012年12月英语六级考试听力短文原文 Part III Listening Comprehension Section B Passage 1 Since I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card. One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items. Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting while I go get it。” Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, my customers will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she’s forgotten her s.
