以下是2010年12月18日六级答案听力短对话原文(昂立版)

Q11.

W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. It’s located in a quiet building and is close to bus lines.

M: That may be true, but look at it, it’s awful. The paint has peeled off and the carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.

Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

Q12.

M: The pictures we took at the Botanical Garden should be ready tomorrow.

W: I can’t wait to see them. I’m wondering if the shots I took is as good as I thought.

Q: What is the woman eager to know?

Q13.

W: The handle of the bookcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday?

M: Let me see. I need to find a handle that matches, but that shouldn’t take too long.

Q: What does the man mean?

Q14.

M: This truck looks like what I need but I’m worried about maintenance. For us, it will have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures.

W: We have several models that especially adapted for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?

Q: What’s the man’s demand from the conversation?

Q15.M: I think your boss will be very upset when he gets your letter of resignation.

W: That may be so. But in the letter, I just told him frankly I could no longer live with his poor management and stupid decisions.

Q: What do we learn about the woman?

Q16.W: I’d like to exchange the shirt. I’ve learned the person I bought it for is allergic to wool.

M: maybe we can find something in cotton or silk. Please come this way.

Q: What does the woman want to do?

Q17.M: Excuse me Miss, did anyone happen to turn in a new hand bag? You know it’s a birthday gift for my wife.

W: Let me see. Oh, we’ve got quite a lot of women’s bags here. Can you give me more detailed information, such as its color, the size and the trade mark?

Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

Q18.W: What’re you going to do with the old house you inherited from your grandfather?

M: I once intended to sell it. But now I’m thinking of turning it into a guest house, because it’s still a solid structure.

Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house?

听力SectionA长对话(沪江版)

19. What do we learn about the woman?

【答案】D She was a witness to the crime.

【解析】文中男士需要女士描述一下抢劫银行的人(describe the man who robbed the bank)。选项中B提到了robbery,但是对话中没有说明女士是受害者(victim);D选项提到了她目击了某个犯罪经过,robbery显然是crime的一种。

20. What did the suspect look like?

【答案】A A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.

【解析】原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.,对应选项A。

21. What did the man finally asked the woman to do?

【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.

【解析】对话结尾处,男士要求女士look at some photographs,很显然,他的目的是让女士通过照片来辨别嫌疑人。因此选择A。

22. How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy?

【答案】A By reading a newspaper ad.

【解析】 job vacancy指空缺的职位。在对话一开始,女士就说到她的目的:I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.从这句话中可以看出她得知职位信息的来源是the paper last night,对应A选项。

23. Why did the woman find the job appealing?

【答案】B She could work close to her family.

【解析】本题关键词是appealing,意为引起兴趣的。女士提到她喜欢这份工作的原因是be near to the family.,close是near的同义替换词,因此选择B选项。

24. What had the woman been doing in Geneva?

【答案】C Working as a secretary.

【解析】女士提到她在日内瓦做了一些secretarial work,也就是选项C中的secretary。虽然她也提到之前在大学学习,但是她取得的学位是a degree in English,而非选项D中的a degree in French.

25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?

【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.

【解析】对话中女士希望得到面试机会,但是男士要求先要递交书面申请(reply a writing to the advertisement),并不是所有人都能得到面试机会,因此选择答案C。

听力SectionB第2、3篇答案:(沪江版)

26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?

【解析】D) They mistake the firefighters for monsters.

细节题,从开始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因为不熟悉消防人员戴面具的形象,孩子们以为来救援的消防人员是怪兽,所以躲起来。所以选D。其他选项文中都没有涉及到。

27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?

【解析】B) He often teaches children what to do during a fire.

本篇文章大篇幅讲的是Eric Velez给社区里的孩子讲解消防知识,让他们熟悉消防人员及消防工具的过程。选项A,put out fire虽然是Eric Velez的工作,但是本文重点不是在其消防员救活这个工作上,C、D选项很容易就可以排除。所以选B。

28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?

【解析】A) He saved the life of his brother choking on food.

细节题,从Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案,文章中关于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎着食物的弟弟。所以选A。做题时一定要把人名及其所做的事准确对应起来。

29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?

【解析】D) Informative speeches can save lives.

主旨题,本文举了一个大例子,一下小例子来证明教育性的演说有救人性命的好处。虽然在文章最后也列举了下其他好处,但是主旨还是拯救生命。所以选D。其他几个选项都主要讲细节处,很容易就可以排除。

30 C) To make money for early retirement.

本题考察原因,问为什么人们喜欢比较苛求但收入较高的工作,其实听力一开始就用in order to 给出了原因,即:retire early,所以选C项。

31 A) They may have to continue to work in old age.

本题考察后果,问只为当下而活的人面临着什么危险,从“The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.”中可以看出A是正确选项,及在年老时有可能不得不继续工作。

32 B) Enjoying yourself while you can.

本课考察文章作者的态度,从 “Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.”中可以看出,作者认为想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜欢的人在一起可能是一种错误,所以选B,即趁着自己还可以的时候要懂得享受生活。

33.C)Innocent people being suspected groundlessly。

34.D)Allowing only two students to enter at a time。

解析:In order to ensure him to attend the meeting

To ensure his attendance at the meeting

【结构分析】本题句子的主干 “I called him up in advance”已经给出,无需翻译,需要翻译部分为“为了确保他能参加会议”。该部分在句子中作目的状语

about a hundred years ago为时间状语。

【考点解释】本题重点考查:①被动语态。主语museum与动词build之间为被动关系; 且bulid这一动作发生在过去。②据说 be said to;be said to+ 动词不定式的完成时,表示不定式表示的动作已经完成。

【原句精释】据说这座意义深远的博物馆大约建成于一百年前。

91.They requested that ___________________________ (我借的书还回图书馆) by next Friday.

解析:books I borrowed (should) be returned to the library

I (should) return the book I borrowed to the library

【结构分析】本题句子的主干部分分别是they 主语,request 谓语,后接that引导的宾语从句。

【考点解释】①request的用法。request v. 要求;当request表示“要求”时,引导的宾语从句要使用虚拟语气,即(should)+ 动词原形。②定语从句。“我借的书”, the book (that) I borrowed;③单词的拼写。归还 return,借 borrow,图书馆 library ④本题就此题提供了两个版本的答案,但在表示“规定,规则”时,被动语态更为常用。
