点评:
本题从一开始就在讲述在make a decision, 至于什么决定一直在最后一个回合才讲明白: I guess we have our receptionist then, 节约第一题答案。文章讨论三个应聘者Frank Brisenski,Barbara Jones和David Wallace的优劣势:Frank Brisenski polite礼貌,sounds good声音好听,intelligent聪明,但是not dressing well 第二题解决;Barbara Jones声音好听,穿着得体,但过于shy害羞,not good at talking in front of the desk不擅于在桌子前和人交流;David Wallace聪明,外表形象佳,表现自如,有礼貌,声音动听。最后俩人决定录取David Wallace,第三题解决。
Conversation 2
W: Hello.
M: Hello. Is that the reference library?
W: Yes, can I help you?
M: I hope so. I ran earlier and asked for some information about Dennis Hutton, the scientist. You asked me to ring back.
W: Oh, yes. I have found something.
M: Good. I've got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.
W: Certainly. Hutton Dennis, born Darlington, 1836, died New York, 1920.
M: Yes, got that.
W: Inventor and physicist, the son of a farm worker. He was admitted to the University of London at the age of 15.
M: Yes.
W: He graduated at 17 with the first class degree in physics and mathematics. All right?
M: Yes, all right.
W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of 18. It was a method of refrigeration which rolls from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of mathematics at the University of Manchester at 24, where he remained for twelve years. During that time, he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby
M: Yes, go on.
W: Later working together in London, they laid the foundations of modern physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime, Hutton patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?
M: Yes, when did he go to America?
W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still he was a good age.
M: Yes, I suppose so. Well, thanks.
Q12: What do we learn about Dennis Hutton when he was 15?
Q13: What did Dennis Hutton do at the age of 24?
Q14: For what were Dennis Hutton and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time?
Q15: Why did Dennis Hutton go to New York
答案:
12 C) He was admitted to university.
13. B) He became a professor of Mathematics.
14. D) Their work on very high frequency radio waves.
15. D) To teach at a university.
第二篇讲述了一个电话对话,无论如何什么类型的题目,对于长对话来说,信息更加多,这个时候,一定请学会听懂重点信息,尤其是首末回合和视听一致的原则一旦出现,将会非常起作用。
Section B Passages
Passage 1
In America, white tailed deer are more numerous than ever before, so abundant in fact that they've become a suburban nuisance and a health hazard.(第一题出处,白尾巴的鹿比原来的数量多了很多……变成郊区的一个麻烦和健康危机,这里替换headache第一题)
Why can't the herd be thinned the old-fashioned way? The small community of North Haven on Long Island is home to some six hundred to seven hundred deer. The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimum population at 60. The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens and shrubs are protected by high fences.
Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of the road that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of the bodies. Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases. On the occasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure court orders against the hunts. And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots and pans to alert the deer(当之前的一些失败之后,他们停止猎人,banging on the pots and pan 敲锣打鼓目的就是alert the deer 警告鹿,第二题答案). Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved into confrontations.
The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem. Some communities have even discussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix. That means wolves in the suburbs of New York. It is almost too wonderful not to try it. The wolves would kill deer of course. They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburban dwellers have in mind.(当把狼引入之后,将会恐吓并且杀死猫和狗,而这些不是郊区居住着想要的;换句话说,他们威胁到了家庭的动物。第三题出处。)
Q16. What do we learn about white-tailed deer in North Haven?
Q17. Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans?
Q18. What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix?
答案:
16. A. They have become a headache to the community.
17. C. To alert the deer.
18. B. They would endanger domestic animals.
文章讲述了一篇科普类别的文章,大致内容是白鹿到了郊区的地方,数量开始繁殖;当地人民被它们身上传播的疾病所感染,想了很多办法去解决,最后还是没有一个大体的方案。对于短文听力,我自己其实也没有太多的好办法,想要听懂每句话其实不是一天就能解决的,但是我们存在一些解决方案,比如说前三句话往往是第一题的答案,后三句话往往是最后一题答案,并且各位是否发现,当我没有任何办法听懂时,听到什么选择什么的概率大很多。
再举第三篇例子作为说明
Passage 3
Janet James was 22 years old when she was diagnosed with MS-a disease that attacks the body's nerves. She has just graduated from college and got a job at an advertising agency when she began to sense that something strange was going on inside her body. When James realized how severe her illness was, she knew she had better hurry up and live life(第二题答案,他知道自己得病后,想立刻去过自己的生活). MS is the biggest crippler of young adults(第一题出处,我们再最高级的后面往往是一个题目的答案,这个东西适用于阅读). And although she didn't have many symptoms, she knew it was just a matter of time. First on her agenda was to pursue her dream of hosting a pop music program. She worked at a radio station for a year, always aware that her body was degenerating. Then her best friend moved away. And one night James began screaming, "I got to go! I got to go!" Two weeks later, she arrived at Alaska, thousands of miles from her friends, her family and her past. "Everything fell into a place", she recalls. A 23-year-old girl with an incurable disease can fly to Alaska and everything can work out. The MS attacks came and went. And most of the time they hardly slowed her down. James hiked, fished, learnt to sail and experimented with hot air ballooning. "I lived for adventure", she says. "Nobody ever had a better time or did more exotic strange things than I did in an 80-year period." Inevitably however, the day came when she was so weakened that she had to return to Pittsburgh, her home town. There she began relieving her adventures by writing a book about them. Her book was published in 1993.(从这里可以看出最后一题的答案,最后的生命全部拿来冒险,并且写了书。)
Q23.What does the speaker say about MS?
Q24.What did Janet James decide to do after her disease was diagnosed?
Q25.What's sort of person can we infer Janet James is?the ecological mix?
答案:
23. D It is the biggest crippler of young adults.
24. A Hurry up and live life.
25. B Adventurous.
这一篇文章的难点在于第一题和第二题的出题位置互换,这个在六级考试很常见,而在四级考试中不怎么出现,这就更需要考生在做这类题目过程中做笔记,记载一下里面的重要信息。第二篇文章考点相似,不赘述。
最后一个题目,今年最大的改革就是剧组变成了词组,我一直认为这种题目里面单词的拼写更多的是平时的积累,很难存在任何的考试技巧,也告诉大家在平时背单词过程中,需要通过发音熟悉拼写。
。
简单跟我一起看了一下今年的考试后,相信各位考生对于六级考试也有了新的认识。我们会发现,无论考试如何出题,总是不逃离历年真题中听力那些重点的场景词语,更重要的是,六级听力也越来越贴切实践。所以,历年真题仍然是一个值得参考的重要材料。
我还是建议大家在今后的复习中,如果可能的话,多做精听,每天能够花一些时间去把一个对话中每个单词或者词组听明白。在背单词的时候,熟悉单词的发音,并且进行背诵。如果能,多找外国人去讲出去。
考六级的同学,如果觉得题目枯燥无味,可以去听听慢速和快速的VOA,当然,还是需要边听边做笔记。如果你还是觉得枯燥,看看一些英文动画片也是一些不错的选择,比如说《怪兽大学》,当然,看动画片的时候,也建议多看几遍,最好能够有英文字幕,重复跟读,将会非常有用。
对于学英语,其实就是一个漫长积累的过程,每天坚持一点点,就能看到成功的开始,总能让自己变得更加优秀。如果有机会,北京新东方的全体老师们,在过级的路上,一直陪伴着你。如果还有问题,可以在微博上找到我:@尚龙老师。最后,祝大家学习顺利。
