Passage One

文章解析：

本文是一篇地理科学类文章，有点难度，关键是对一些专有名词的把握。文章开始先指出全球变暖带来最主要的威胁是极地冰盖的融化，并给出了相应的事实和数据加以证明。接着更多例子表明南极洲的冰盖在过去的130万年间至少坍塌过一次。相关高等学府的学者和科学家也相继用实验证明南极洲西部曾是一片汪洋。最后引用Herman Engleheart的话，再次提醒我们，西南极洲大冰原很可能再次融化消失。

其实按常理来说，如果听力文章比较有难度的话，题目的难度相对应会降低。所以大家在遇到此类题型时不必惊慌。提取关键信息、边听边记笔记，运用好背景知识等就能把题目做出来。平时也要注意扩大阅读范围，增长见识。关于环境保护和全球变暖之类的文章屡见不鲜，要求考生在这方面要引起足够的重视。

In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it's picking one of 31 ice cream (36) _____ 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 (37) _____, unhappy – even paralyzed with indecision.

That's (38) _____ true when it comes to the workplace, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human (39) _____. Students are graduating with a (40) _____ of skills and interests, but often find themselves (41) _____ when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal.

In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their (42) _____ year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job-hunting (43) _____ 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.

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：本题考的是文化场景，出现了copy 等词，还是比较基础的。原文中男生想出示收据来拿复印材料，然后女生说“ we're a little behind. ”（我们动作稍落后）意思就是还没复印好。

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：生活类场景题。注意对"be put out with sb"（对……生气）的理解；文中女生首先对自己的迟到表示歉意并解释原因；男生说不是大问题，但是你至少得打个电话给我。因此，我们知道女生迟到了。

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：对话属于学习类场景，出现了majority , student union,和candidate等相关词汇。考点在于对话中的肯定与否定类，即前面一个人提出观点，后面一个人采取‘取非’的态度；文中第一人说Mark是学生会的不二人选，而第二人则说除非Mark获得了大多数女生的选票，否则是赢不了的，因此还不能确定。

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：考短对话常考场景，旅游场景，其中hotel , luggage 等单词可帮助学生直接定位；第一个人（估计是工作人员）对旅客道歉说行李被落在巴黎了，要到深夜才能送到。旅客说这让让她难以置信，然后要求就把行李送到宾馆。由此可知，女士的行李还没有到达目的地。

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：关键词presentation, 为校园场景。考点为第二人建议题，"at this point, we’ll have to do…"明确表示建议，将建议后的内容听出来就可以了。这里“we 'll have to make do with what we've got.”意思是“我们要善加利用手上已有的东西”。

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：关键词course，为校园场景。16题为典型的第二人but转折后出考题，音频中出现的psychology其实不需要知道意思，前面已经有course来解释了。这和六级一贯的难词前后有对其的解释的原则一致，并且psychology是六级学生应该掌握的词汇。文中男生向女生推荐语言心理学这门课，女生说她有尝试报名，但是在参加课程前得先进行语言学习，因此推出，女生还没有资格参加该课程。

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题为租房与住房类，出现了诸如roommate，get along等词汇。并且第二人用maybe 给出建议，作为考点。女生首先提到Larry对室友的说话态度不好；然后男生提到有可能他的室友讲了些什么，Larry才会有如此反应。每件事都是有两面性的。因此双方可能都有责任。

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题为商务话题，关键词resources，考题类型为观点态度类，答案出现在第二人woman 回答处，出现不绝对模凌两可的词汇给出观点态度，此为本题考点。第一人话中讲到“buy sb. out”表示收购；对于这个词不认知问题不大，后面给出了提示，表明发生了问题。而第二人给出了建议。具体而言，第一人说情况很不乐观，第二人说还有希望，能向银行求助。由此可知，他们的经济状况不佳，急需帮助。

Conversation One

听力原文

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：从But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebodyself-important making a fool of themselves.一句中，可知，我们会嘲笑他人的不幸，是因为我们可以从中得到一种幽默的满足，derive from 意为得到，取得, make a fool of 意为愚弄，出洋相，所以正确答案是C

20. C) They don't know how to cope with the situation

解析：人们之所以会嘲笑胖子或身体有残缺的人，是因为人们不知该如何处理那样的情况，文中有句有"We don’t know how to cope with the situation"，所以正确答案是C

21. A) They themselves would like to do it but don't dare to.

解析：custard pie 意为“牛奶饼”，题目问的是，为什么人们看到有人往老板脸上扔牛奶饼，会觉得很有趣？对话中也几乎是原封不动地给出了答案，那是因为我们也想做却不敢做。would like to do 是love to do 的同义替换词，dare to do 又是have courage to do 的同义替换词。

22. C) To relieve her feelings.

解析：relieve feelings意为缓和情绪，对话中提到，She said it relieved her feelings. 这位男生的阿姨自己亲口表示，当她被激怒时，会朝别人扔茶杯，来缓和自己的情绪，而不是如选项A 所说，to irritate them ,激怒别人。所以正确答案是C

这篇对话探讨的是心理问题，有些小抽象。但是大家千万不要被这阵势吓到了，只要事先阅读过一遍题目，听对话时定位准确，找到关键词，很多问题便迎刃而解啦。四个问题都是按照文章的顺序提问的，第一个和最后一个问题如大家所料，在对话的开头和结尾部分，所以开头和结尾仍是要严防死守之处。除此以外，同义替换词依然是重点考察项目，如would like to do ，dare to do。这篇长对话虽然很多答案能从对话中可以直接找到相对应的原句，但是在做听力时，还是要仔细聆听，定位关键句，否则漏掉一句，做起题目来可能就会比较吃力了。

Conversation Two

听力原文

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 的意思是怀疑，题目问，Sanjay Kumar 被怀疑什么？对话的开头，女便说到，“Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage”，也就是说在Sanjay Kumar 的包里发现了一把手，由此可得出选项D

24. D) He is suspected of having slipped something into Kumar's bag

解析：从对话中，我们了解到，Sanjay Kumar 并没有携带支，而是坐在他身边的Alfred Foster 栽赃嫁祸，趁Sanjay Kumar 睡着时，将手放进他的包里，slip 有暗中塞入的意思，对应选项D

25. B) Find Alfred Foster.

解析：对话的最后一句已给出了答案，"Please find him, Madam."Sanjay Kumar 请求能够找到Alfred Foster

这是一篇审讯对话，在最近三年的六级长对话听力中，还没有涉及，但是审讯对话并不难，我们可以从两人的语气，称呼中得出，如Sanjay Kumar 称那位女士为madam,女士的口气也比较硬，如用了“Do you admit that，tell me"等语句。这篇长对话既考察了对大意的理解，也考察了对细节的把握，其中24题，更像是一道推理题，对话中并没有明确指出Alfred Foster 把手塞入了Sanjay Kumar 的包内，但我们可以从Sanjay Kumar 的回答中推理出相应的结论，23、25题对细节的考察在对话中可以直接找到出处，总的来说，第二篇长对话还是比较简单的。

Section B

Passage One

听力原文

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'

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

篇章类型及提要：社会现象，经济相关

听力点睛：

本文介绍了在总体市场经济不景气的前提下，旅游业异军突起现象及其前因后果。文章开篇就介绍总的社会背景是各种不景气前提下，外出旅游成为人们的选择之一，紧接着以一个例子来证明。然后旅行社相关的权威人物的话语中更是证明目前旅游业正风头正劲。文章中出现的金融词汇，人名、地名及职务名称，如investment, investment, Namibia, Namibia, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore等。一定程度上会让考生觉得头疼，且分散注意力。这就需要考生有一定对重要信息的提取能力。人名、地名及职务名称等听过有个印象就好，不必过于纠结。

精剖细析：

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：推断题。本题问如今一些人愿意把钱花在旅游上的原因。第一题通常从听力开头去定位答案。文章第一句"Everyone is looking for a good investment

27. What is Tselana Travel planning to do, according to its founder?

答案：D) Launch a new program of adventure trips.

解析：细节题。看到Tselana Travel直接锁定目标，且听力中也给出了"planning to introduce..."排除其他选秀。旅游业兴盛起来，那么相应的旅行社等必然会采取措施，争取吸引客户获得经济利益。所以听的时候我们要格外注意，要对旅行社的行为要注意听。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：细节题。关键词"Ashley Toft"和"changing"，考生容易选C选项，因为这个Ashley Toft 也提到了last-minute bookings数字的增长。但是一定要把文章听完，最后给出了"Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing." 2个选项一对比，B选项更为合适。The way people travel和how we travel用到了同义替换。也再次说明，听力首尾都是听力常考的重点区域，不可掉以轻心。

Passage Two

听力原文

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 withthe most charming men she’d ever met.

“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them.”

“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.”

The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

篇章类型及提要：社会现象，两性关系

听力点睛：

本文介绍作者对男女关系的老套传统观念持质疑态度，并举例证明其观点。本文难词不多，2个例子也以对话为主，所以难度适中。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观点。文章难度不大的，题目往往会比较讨巧，所以一定不能放松警惕。题目中的以推理为主的题目会相对比较多。

精剖细析：

29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

答案：B) The changing roles played by men and women.

解析：主旨题。主要考察考生对主旨的理解。注意这里A选项容易让人混淆。首句中的old stereotypes会误导考生去选A。但A选项并不完整。文章不是讲老套传统的男女观念。而是对此的一个质疑，传统男女的角色正在不断改变。这也是六级做题的一个技巧。选项中出现和文章有关的重点单词，并不一定就是答案。选项还是都得仔细阅读。

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：细节题。此题不难，关键词"office meetings'，文章中直接给出了"they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues."排除其他选项。

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：推断题。题目问主人公为什么要自己来修整草坪。文章最后是以一段对话体现。此题需要简单推理。首先主人公很明确的表示自己认为传统男女的关系及角色扮演正在不断改变，女性可以做好传统观念里男人应该做的事。自己女儿就是一个很好的例子，是焊接工（welder），而女儿男友则是律师事务所的前台接待。那么必然推断出作者本身自己的行为举止也是贯彻自己的这一想法。推断选C，排除其他选项。

Passage Three

听力原文

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’tmuch 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

篇章类型及提要：

听力点睛：

本文主要从Florence Hayes，一位来自Green Ville Journal的记者的工作揭示Green Ville的治安状况。难词不多，难度适中，难词主要是对犯罪类词汇的，如violent crimes, crimes against property, rape, robbery等，考生平时阅读及词汇学习一定要各种类型都涉及一点，掌握一些基本的专业词汇。其次这类从一个人的角度去看的文章，既要注意文中主人公的主观态度，也要关注客观事实。题目很可能把2者混淆起来考查考生。

精剖细析：

32.What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?

答案：B）Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville.

解析：问女主人公作为记者的主要工作职责。题目比较简单。文章开头就给出"Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area." 且后面文章都是介绍女主人公报道的也都是镇上发生的犯罪行为。A和C选项范围大了，D选项范围有小了。只有B选项正确。

33.What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?

答案：D）It has fewer violent crimes than big cities.

解析：细节题。4个选项乍看都是和小镇治安有关。需要一个一个去排除。A选项文章并没有给出小镇以前和现在的治安状况对比，排除。B选项，文章的确提到了rapes，但是并没有提及在downtown areas的情况，且Greenville是个镇。C选项assaults常发生在near the bars downtown不是school campuses。如果做题时没做好笔记，关注好细节，很容易选错。

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：细节题。关键词是"crimes against property"，最后部分的听力中有"Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting."说明在Florence负责的犯罪行为中，和财产有关的占了大部分（make up组成）。说明这种犯罪率比较高。A选项适合。C选项乍看像是答案，但文中并给出该类案件正在不断升级。排除。

35. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?

答案：A) Write about something pleasant.

解析：此题听到prefer就知道答案应所锁定于听力最后。听力已经很明显给出"She would prefer to start..." C和D没有提到。B选项，文中的确提到了local news or politics，但这只是她可能想要做的事情的举例而已，并不是非常明确就一定要去做。"omething more interesting and less unpleasant"表明应该选A。

Section C Compound Dictation

听力原文

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.

36-46解析：

本次的复合式听写讲的是决策的问题。现代人面临着越来越多的决策，但是太多的选择会给人带来很多负作用。Barry Schwartz对大学毕业生的决策做了观察实验，把学生分为两类决策者：满足者和最大化者。研究发现决策最大化者尽管普遍比满足者获得薪水高，但是却并不对他们的决策感到开心。这次的复合式听写稍微有些难度。需要注意的是需要加s的词flavors和strategies，在填写单词的时候要注意单复数。另外还有2个要填过去式或过去分词。此外，behavior的英式和美式拼写都可以。这次写的三句句子中第一句后半句比较简单，除了注意单词exhausting不要写成exhausted之外，后一句很快就可以写出来。第二句why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities might also a world of less opportunities这句比较长，但是结构比较简单，单词也不难，考生要注意。第三句分为两部分，后半部分一个定语从句。前半句重点搭配为be aware of，后半句的turn down和pursue 都是考生应掌握的词汇。

【点评】

短对话

今年的六级听力短对话从提问方式来看，还是以推理题居多，如第12、13、15题都需要考生们从对话后中推理出“言下之意”。14、17题考查学生在听完对话后是否能够把握准确，推理出暗示内容。

六级考试的短对话内容还是主要以日常生活为大背景，穿插了新闻、住房等话题，考生们应该比较熟悉。短对话中没有太多的生词和难词，第11题的spine（脊椎）其实也并不影响考生答题，因其实际上并不是考查点。

总而言之，今年的短对话难度适中，考生如能准确把握对话的中心内容，在听力上得分并不是件难事。

Conversation 1

W: One of the most interesting experiments with dolphins must be one done by Doctor Jarvis Bastian. What he tried to do was to teach a male dolphin called Bass and a female called Doris to communicate with each other across a solid barrier.

M: So how did he do it exactly?

W: Well, first of all, he kept the two dolphins together in the same tank and taught them to press levers whenever they saw a light. The levers were fitted to the side of the tank next to each other. If the light flashed on and off several times, the dolphins were supposed to press the left-handlever followed by the right-hand one. If the light was kept steady, the dolphins were supposed to press the levers in reverse order. Whenever they responded correctly, they were rewarded with fish.

M: Sounds terribly complicated.

W: Well, that was the first stage. In the second stage, Doctor Bastian separated the dolphins into two tanks. They could still hear one another, but they couldn’t actually see each other. The levers and light were set up in exactly the same way except that this time it was only Doris who could see the light indicating which lever to press first. But in order to get their fish, both dolphins had to press the levers in the correct order. This meant of course that Doris had to tell Bass whether it was a flashing light or whether it was a steady light.

M: So did it work?

W: Well, amazingly enough, the dolphins achieved a 100 % success rate.

Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Q19. What is the purpose of Doctor Jarvis Bastian’s experiment?

Q20. What were the dolphins supposed to do when they saw a steady light?

Q21. How did the second stage of the experiment differ from the first stage?

Conversation 2

W: This week’s program Up Your Street takes you to Harrogate, a small town in Yorkshire. Harrogate became a fashionable resort during Victorian times, when people came to take a bath in the mineral waters. Today, few people come to visit the town for its mineral waters. Instead, Harrogate has become a popular town for people to retire to. Its clean air, attractive parks, and the absence of any industry, make this an ideal spot for people looking for a quiet life. Now, to tell us more about Harrogate, I have with me Tom Percival, President of the Chamber of Commerce. Tom, one of the things visitor notices about Harrogate is the large area of open park land right down into the middle of the town. Can you tell us more about it?

M: Yes, certainly. The area is called the Stray.

W: Why the Stray?

M: It’s called that because in the old days, people let their cattles stray on the area, which was common land.

W: Oh, I see.

M: Then, we’ve changes in farming and in land ownership. The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate.

W: And is it protected?

M: Oh, yes, indeed. As a special law, no one can build anything on the stray. It’s protected forever. W: So it will always be park land?

M: That’s right. As you can see, some of the Stray is used for sports fields.

W: I believe it looks lovely in the spring.

M: Yes, it does. There’re spring flowers on the old trees, and people visit the town just to see the flowers.

Question 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Q22. Where does this conversation most probably take place?

Q23. What do we learn about modern Harrogate?

Section C

Mountain climbing is becoming a popular sport, but it is also a potentially dangerous one. People can fall. They may also become ill. One of the most common dangers to climbers is altitude sickness, which can affect even very experienced climbers. Altitude sickness usually begins when a climber goes above 8,000 to 9,000 feet. The higher one climbs, the less oxygen there is in the air. When people don’t get enough oxygen, they often begin to gasp for air. They may also feel dizzy and light-headed. Besides these symptoms of altitude sickness, others such as headache and fatigue may also occur. At heights of over 18,000 feet, people may be climbing in a constant daze. Their state of mind can have adverse affect on their judgment. A few precautions can help most climbers avoid altitude sickness. The first is not to go too high, too fast. If you climb to 10,000 feet, stay at that height for a day or two. Your body needs to get used to a high altitude before you climb to a even higher one. Or if you do climb higher sooner, come back down to a lower height when you sleep. Also, drink plenty of liquids and avoid tobacco and alcohol. When you reach your top height, do like activities rather than sleep too much. You breathe less when you sleep, so you get less oxygen. The most important warning is this: if you have severe symptoms, then don’t go away, go down. Don’t risk injury or death because of over-confidence or lack of knowledge.

Section A

11.

M: I’d like to go camping with you this weekend, but I don’t have a sleeping bag.

W: No problem. You can count on me to get one for you. My family has tons of camping gear. Q: What does the woman mean?

答案：She can lend the man a sleeping bag.

【解析】这是一道较为简单的推理题，前提是考生需知道camping gear表示“野餐用具，露营装备”，由此可知，camping gear包括sleeping bag，即女士能借给男士一个睡袋，此题的设置稍微绕了个小弯，为考生解题设置了一定难度。go camping：去野餐，去露营；sleeping bag：睡袋。

12.

M: I know I promise to drive you to the airport next Thursday, but I’m afraid something has come

up. They’ve called a special meeting at work.

W: No big deal. Karen said she was available as a back-up.

Q: What does the woman mean?

答案: Karen can take her to the airport.

【解析】此题为细节题。从对话中可知，男士下周四临时有事不能送女士去机场了，女士回答说Karen有空。back-up：n. 备用，备份，考生如果知道这个单词的意思，对整个对话的理解会有帮助。

13.

W: Have you saved enough money for a trip to Hawaii?

M: Not even close. My uncle must put the brakes on my travelling plans.

Q: What does the man mean?

答案：He can’t afford to go traveling yet.

【解析】此题为推理题。从男士的回答“我叔叔对我的旅行计划加以了。”中可推断出，这位男士还没有足够的钱去旅行。put the brakes on sth.表示“对……加以”，即使考生不知道这个短语的引申含义，但听到brake“刹车”应该也能大概判断出来答案。

14.

M: I’m starving. Do we still have any pie left from the dinner yesterday?

W: Oh, Julia invited her friends over in the afternoon and they ate it all.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

答案：The man has to find something else to eat.

【解析】此题为简单的推理题。从对话中可知，女士回答说Julie下午邀请了她的朋友，他们把剩的饼都吃光了，由此可推断出这位男士不得不找别的东西吃。starving：adj. 饥饿的。

15.

W: Three letters of recommendation are required to apply to graduate schools. I was wondering if the one professor Smith wrote for me last year could still be used.

M: It’s a bit dated. You’d better submit a recent one.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

答案：Present a new letter of reference.

【解析】此题为细节题。只要考生抓住这位男士回答中的关键词dated和recent，就不难找出正确答案，而且，整个答句也很短，均是简单句，易于考生理解。letter of recommendation 和letter of reference意思相似，均可表示“推荐信”。

16.

W: I’ve noticed that you spend a lot of time tending your garden. Would you like to join our gardening club? We meet every other Wednesday.

M: Oh, thanks for the invitation, but this is how I relax. I’d rather not make it something formal and structured.

Q: What can we infer about the man?

答案：He declines to join the gardening club.

【解析】此题为暗示推理题，有一定难度。抓住问题中的关键词“infer”，这位男士暗示了什么？从男士的回答“谢谢邀请，但这是我放松的方式，我宁愿我的花园不那么条条框框”中可推断出，这位男士间接拒绝了参加园艺俱乐部的邀请。

17.

M: I heard the recent sculpture exhibit was kind of disappointing.

W: That’s right. I guess a lot of other people feel the way I do about modern art.

Q: What does the woman mean?

答案：Many people do not appreciate modern art.

【解析】此题为简单的推理题。只要考生能理解女士的回答“我猜许多其他人对现代艺术和我的感觉是一样的。”，即可选出答案，而且答句中没有一个生难单词。sculpture exhibit：雕塑展。

18.

M: Bob is running for chairman of the student union. Would you vote for him?

W: Oh, I can’t decide right now because I have to find out more about the other candidates.

Q: What does the woman mean?

答案：Bob cannot count on her vote.

【解析】此题为推理题。这位女士回答说她现在还没决定选谁，因为她还要看看其他候选人的资料和表现，由此可推断出，Bob不能依赖这位女士的选票。run for：竞选；chairman of the student union：学生会；vote for：投票赞成。

Conversation One

W: I don’t know what to do. I can’t seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.

M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard?

W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs.

M: You are pregnant, aren’t you?

W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, I’m afraid to refuse to work. But I’m more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation.

M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful.

W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then?

M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet.

W: Do you think I have a good case?

M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.Q19. What does the woman complain about?

Q20. What has the woman asked her supervisor to do?

Q21. What does the man say about the two federal laws?

Q22. What will the union do if the woman loses her job?

【答案】

19. The health hazard at her work place.

20. Transfer her to another department.

21. Their requirements may be difficult to meet.

22. Try to help her to get it back.

点评：

本篇长对话是关于一名怀孕的员工就工作中的辐射伤害向工会投诉。对话一开篇女士先抱怨自己工作的医院无人听她申诉有关机器已过时，会造成身体伤害的问题，因为医院想要降低成本。然后她提到自己有向主管提出转调部门的要求，然而遭到拒绝。主管还告诫她，医院宁愿换掉她，让他人工作，也不会更换机器。于是工会代表告诉她转调部门确实可能不会成功。同时要想利用目前的法案来解决这一问题，也会很难实现。最后指出，除非她真正丢失工作，工会才能拿起法律武器帮她讨薪。

本对话考生虽然对辐射造成身体伤害的话题并不陌生，但整个对话中部分单词可能还是会造成不少听力困扰。比如：health hazard（健康伤害）中的hazard；X-ray equipment（X光仪器）中的X-ray和两大法案的名称虽不难，但也容易混淆大家的视听，而误抓重点。

Conversation Two

W: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?

M: Well, I think it’s both an art and science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but the execution of the negotiation has quite a lot to do with one’s artistic quality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy. What do you want out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics. How do you go about it? Do you take an opening position in a negotiation which differs from the eventual goal you are heading for? And then of course there are the behavioral aspects.

W: What do you mean by the behavioral aspects?

M: Well, that’s I think where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can pretend that you don’t like things which you are actually quite pleased about. Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest type negotiator who’s known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediately to cues one gets in the process of negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the artistic quality comes in.

W: So really, you see two types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one.

M: That’ right. And both can work. I would say the honest negotiator can be quite effective in some circumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor.Q23. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?

Q24. In what way is a negotiator like an actor according to the man?

Q25. What does the man say about the two types of negotiator?

【答案】

23. In the preparatory phase.

24. He behaves in a way contrary to his real intention.

25. Both can succeed depending on the specific situation.

【点评】

本长对话主要是关于谈判的艺术性和科学性。谈判的科学性部分主要体现在谈判策略，而谈判的艺术性则体现在表现上。这里可以归为两类，一是“演技派”，二是“诚实派”。另外，谈判的艺术性还与对谈判过程中获得的口头暗示、肢体语言进行及时反应有关。最后男士指出根据不同场合，无论是“诚实派”，或是“演技派”谈判者都能起到各自的效果。

本对话中的关键词有：negotiation：谈判；strategy：策略；behavioral：行为的。
