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.

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.

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 Gal?pagos. "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.
26. According to the speaker, why are some people willing to spend their money on travel these days?
27. What is Tselana Travel planning to do, according to its founder?
28. According to Ashley Toft, managing director of Explore, what is changing now with regard to travel?
Passage Two

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.”
“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.
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
31. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
Passage Three

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 unlocked 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

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.

47. what is in your boss's mind
48. challenging our boss's authority
49. possible consequences
50. be proposed and reviewed
51. confrontations
解析：
點評：本篇文章主要講的是說no的技巧﹔如何向你的上司說no？如何對你的同事說no?
47題問的是“我們應當找出…，而不是直接對你的老板說no”﹔解此題，我們可以定位到文章的第三段The first rule of saying no to the boss is don’t say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it’s up to you to find out what. 這句話說的是“老板在做建議的時候通常是她的腦子裡已經有了一些想法了，而你應該做的就是找出這些想法。”所以應該填“what is in her mind.”
48題明確指出提問的是作者的第二條警告﹔回到原文The second rule is don’t raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. “我們不應該冒險挑戰老板的權威”。
49題講的是“對於你老板的建議，你應該…以及給她一個可供選擇的解決方案”﹔回到原文第三段 The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss’s suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. 后面作者列舉了一些例子，都是關於consequences的解釋﹔所以這裡應當填possible consequences。
50題講的是“為了保証公平性，有必要對_______的故事設立一個系統”﹔回答本題，我們可以回到原文倒數第二段First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. 所以應填入be proposed and reviewed。
51題是針對文章的最后一段提問﹔ By anticipating “what if …?” situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations. 本句中ease out of和題目中的avoid異曲同工，所以，在這裡填入confrontations即可。
總體來說，本篇文章難度適中，所有問題基本都可以從原文中找到答案﹔特別需要注意的是有個別地方需要考生注意一下格式的對應，比如說第50題的be proposed and reviewed。

這是一篇關於大學生課外實踐的社論，原文刊登在英國的《衛報》上：http://www.hjenglish.com/new/p166506/
這裡再次驗証了平時閱讀外刊的重要性，滬江部落小組裡就有一些外刊的學習貼，大家平時可以參考一下：如《BBC新聞聽寫》《AP一分鐘時事精華》《今日TOPIC》《六級出題來源揭秘》
文章第一句，同樣沒有挖空，旨在幫助學生快速進入語境。
文章主旨句：課外實踐是大學生專業課程的重要補充。
62. 需要通篇理解才能給出答案。
63. 上一句的關鍵詞是usually, 講述的是“通常的情況”，與“現在的情況”形成對比。因此63選but。
64. 這裡需要一個和to搭配的動詞，表達“投入”之意，因此隻有devote符合。
65. 全文都在講述學生找工作，這裡的“人才市場”競爭激烈，才符合題意，因此competitive符合。
66. 本句裡有個alongside，相當於beside，這裡指課外實踐以外的方面，當然就是academic
67. 這裡需要一個副詞修飾動詞appreciate，根據but前后的邏輯，我們應該選擇necessarily，表示“必然﹔必定”: Big men aren't necessarily strong men. 高大的人不一定強壯.
68. 根據全文的大意，這裡的appreciate要接“課外實踐”作賓語。
69. 根據下文的描述，我們可以知道“現在的雇主要比原先苛刻很多”，所以這裡需要填上demanding
70. 根據本段最后一句，Now后面的描述，我們知道，原先並不是這樣，原先隻注重應聘者的潛力，其實“saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant' s skills”也是一個佐証。這裡我們可以回過頭看看一下，第62題，不難選出62題的答案，雇主！
71. 這裡需要一個和to 搭配的形容詞，根據倒數第二段的最后一句，我們很好判斷出答案選擇relevant。
72. 本空考察動詞短語，sign up for 表示“登記報名”，這裡是符合題意的。
73. 根據文章第一句，這裡很好判斷，應該是voluntary，表示義工。
74. 這裡是幾個動作的順承，應該用and。
75.B) Exceptional 這裡需要形容詞修飾efforts。exceptional，特別的，卓越的。2008年北京奧運會閉幕式上，奧委會主席羅格就用了exceptional這個詞來形容這場盛世。什麼樣的成績可以得獎呢？當然是優秀的成績。occasional，偶然的﹔informative，內容充實的﹔relative，相關的。
76.A) perform 這裡句子缺少謂語動詞。perform，表現。學生、員工的“表現”，通常用perform/performance這個詞。circulate，循環﹔convey，傳達﹔formulate，制定、用公式表示。在運動場上表現優秀的學生可以獲得體育相關的獎項。
77.C) formally 這裡需要副詞修飾動詞organised。可以從Goodman后面舉的例子上來判斷，學生的經驗不需要非要正式。roughly，粗略地﹔randomly，隨機地﹔fortunately，幸運的。注意句子中的否定成分。
78.A) For instance 下面開始舉例，故選擇此項。In contrast，相反﹔In essence，本質上﹔Of course，當然。
79.A) demonstrated 詞義辨析題。這裡需要動詞，與skills聯系。demonstrate，展示﹔operate，操作﹔determine，決定﹔involve，卷入、包括。學生通過實踐經驗，展現自己的談判技巧。
80.C) scheme 詞義辨析。device，設備﹔section，部分﹔scheme，計劃﹔distraction，分心。這裡指的是Bristol PLuS這項獎勵計劃。
81.D) peers 詞義辨析。attendant，出席者﹔member，會員﹔agent，經紀人﹔peer，同齡人。
本次六級完型填空考察了4處名詞，3處連詞，3處動詞，6處形容詞，2處介詞，2處副詞。隻有少數幾處能通過微觀層面的語法搭配判定選項，其他大部分都需要通篇理解，因此有一定難度。
82. Even though they were already late, they would rather stop for the beautiful view(寧願停下來欣賞美麗的景色) than just go on.
解析：
本題考查兩個知識點，比較活。停下來做某事可以表達為stop for sth.（此處sth.為漢譯英動詞轉名詞的技巧，即doing sth. → sth.），stop to do sth. 或者stop and do sth.。而”欣賞美麗的景色”，若用動詞組合表達則為enjoy the beautiful view即可。
83. No agreement was reached in the discussion between the two parties, as either side refuses to soften their positions (任何一方都不肯放棄自己的立場)
解析：
本題語言表達在新聞英語中出現頻率較高，一定程度上考查了考生平時練習新聞英語聽力的成果。任何一方既可以用neither side（后跟“放棄”的表達），也可以用either side（后跟“不肯放棄”的表達），而立場的表達較多，可用standpoint, position, ground, stance等，所搭配的動詞也不盡相同。
84. The pills could have cured the cancer patient (本來可以治愈那位癌症病人的), but he didn't follow the doctor's advice and take them regularly.
解析：
等到本題虛擬語氣的用法並不令人驚訝，這是歷年六級考試中出現頻率最多的考點之一，而治愈則用動詞cure。heal更側重於康復，愈合之意。
85. It is really kind of you to give me so much help（你真好，給了我那麼多幫助）﹔I really feel obliged to you.
解析：
本題令人欣喜，因為對於it is kind of sb. to do sth.的句法，絕大多數考生都爛熟於胸，而趨於口語的整句意思，也可輕易補全空格內容。
86. The war left the family scattered all over the world, and it was thirty years before they were able to reunite（他們才得以重聚）
解析：
本題考查before的上下文語境用法。除去“在…之前”的意思外，A從句 + before + B從句還能理解為A，B兩事先后發生，即A之后，B接著發生。原句意為“三十年之后，他們才得以重聚”。如採用漢譯英中的動詞轉名詞的技巧，則可回答before their reunion。
