Part III Listening Comprehension
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是学生会主席的不二人选,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。
