听力原文及答案2015年6月大学英语六级考试模拟题Part I Writing 写作范文As is depicted in the picture, an employer is refusing a female job applicant on the spot, because he prefers to hiring male employees. He said some sympathetic words to the disappointed young lady. However, the girl seems to be badly hurt by his denial, holding her resume and crying a lot.As far as I’m concerned, when choosing a prospective employee, an employer is not supposed to focus on the gender of job applicants. Firstly, it’s much wiser for an employer to lay emphasis on qualifications and abilities of job applicants, not their gender. Secondly, with innate qualities like being careful, considerate and sympathetic, female employees can do most jobs well, or as well as men do. Thirdly, female employees will play a bigger role than male counterparts do in building a harmonious working environment, because they are naturally born experts at dealing interpersonal relationships.In consequence, employees shouldn’t be chosen based on gender. It’s his or her abilities and potentials that a boss should look for in a job applicant. Another thing an employer is expected to do is to create opportunities for employees and bring their abilities into full play.Part II Listening Comprehension 听力原文Section A1. M: I think I should buy a new mouse for my laptop. It doesn’t work properly either.W: Why not a new computer?Q: What does the woman mean?2. W: Michael, you’re still reading that novel here. Aren’t you supposed to be present in your physics class?M: We’re told that our physics teacher was ill last night.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?3. M: Mark invited me to his wedding ceremony on Saturday. Have you got his invitation now?W: Yes, of course, I’ll be there. You know, I’ll be the maid of honor to his beautiful future wife at his wedding.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?4. M: I’m afraid I can’t take it anymore. The bad tooth you’re fixing really hurts.W: Just hold on a little bit. It’ll be ok soon. I’ll give you some pills to lessen your pain.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?5. M: I want to know what happened to our son’s flight. It should have been here thirty minutes ago. But, look, it’s already 10:00 o’clock. It makes me nervous when thinking about those air crashes happening lately.W: Don’t carry it too far. The announcement says it’s forty minutes late. Flights always arrive behind the scheduled time at this time of the year.Q: What will the flight arrive?6. W: Fanny is pretty and gentle. Believe it or not, she’s still single now. I worry about her.M: No need to worry about her. She seems to be very popular among boy students now.Q: What does the man mean?7. M: Finals are coming up in a row. I have to work day and night to make up for what I’ve missed during the whole semester.W: I’d told you not to indulge yourself too much in playing computer games at the very beginning of this semester. But, you just turned a deaf ear to my words.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?8. W: Yesterday, I was surprised to see Mertle back in our dormitory from the winter holiday. You know, three days earlier.M: Wow! She’s famous for arriving at school on the last day of registeration for the last three years in college.Q: What does the man imply about Mertle?Conversation OneW: According to report, the number of workplace discrimination concerning race and ethnicity has been increasing for the last decade. As we observe Martin Luther King Jr Day, that’s time to consider.M: Yes, we Americans have much to do to build a world described by Martin Luther King. In other words, we haven’t achieved anything like the socially just and equal society.W: Lawsuits of racial discrimination at the workplace increase in number. But, still we haven’t heading in the direction to solve the racial discrimination completely. Almost 50 years has passed since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. We can’t say America is not clear of racial discrimination.M: But, on the positive side, racism in American society is less harsh and widespread now than it’s even been in our history.W: However, nowadays social discrimination takes forms that are much less obvious than decades ago. That’s to say, racial discrimination is hard to be detected and punished in due time.M: So, the present system of discrimination law can’t function well in fighting against racial discrimination, particularly so when it comes to workplace discrimination.W: Speaking of workplace discrimination, let’s start with employment discrimination. The present legal system needs to be reformed to tackle the root cause of employment discrimination.M: In my opinion, the toot cause of employment discrimination is the founding principles of American business, that is, at-will employment. Most Americans are employed at-will, which means their employers can take or fire them whenever and for what reason they want.W: Of course, employers won’t fire employees for excuses which Congress declares illegal, like race, color, religion, gender and national origin.M: But, employers can find other excuses to fire someone they don’t want to have, such as weight, appearance, clothes, even hairstyle.W: Employers can easily find these seemingly just causes for firing employees. So, it’s hard for an employee to fight back. This is the ugly reality at the workplace.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What’s the favorable result of the passage of the Civil Rights Act?10. How does the man see the present system of discrimination laws?11. What’s the root cause of employment discrimination?Conversation TwoW: I heard you are a rock climbing fan. In this time of winter, are you still do rock climbing outdoors?

It’s the first of its kind in Seattle.W: Really?! When did it start? I never heard about it before.M: The gym started in 1988 when there were only few fans in this city. It’s named as the Eagle Indoors Rock Climbing Gym. Maybe someday you can have a try there yourself.W: How many members are there now in the gym? Are there any female members?M: There’re 5000 people who actively participate in the sport. Of course, there’re many excellent female athletes in this gym. The lead instructors of the gym have great plans for the gym.W: How wonderful! Tell me something about those plans.M: The gym is meant to put itself at the center of the growing rock climbing in America, even working with gym members on a blog for rock climbing, and helping to organize trips to rock climbing sites in nearby states.W: Wow, that’s great! I wonder why fans like you are so interested in rock climbing?M: For one thing, it helps to build your body without doubt. Besides, it helps develop a stronger sense of will power. Finally, it’s a great way for me to make a lot of adventurous friends in the process. That’s why it’s addictive to us fans.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. When did the gym concerned start in Seattle?13. How many female athletes participate in rock climbing in the gym now?14. What’s mentioned in the gym’s future plans?15. Why do gym members love rock climbing so much?Section BPassage OneAre you fed up with struggling to express your thoughts and opinions? These days, people want to talk and not listen! No one wants to be a shadow in the crowd. Having your thoughts and opinions heard is a priority. The very achievement of being able to express yourself, and more importantly, be listened to is an extremely rewarding feeling. Just how can you express your ideas and opinions clearly and maintain that you are being listened to?Below are two strategies that will help you to voice your opinions and ideas:First, you should know what your aim is. Make sure that before attempting to open your mouth and the words begin to flow, you are 100% clear on the ideas that need to be expressed. Knowing where you want to go with the conversation will help to give you that extra confidence boost. When your audience can see that you are confident then they will be more alert and want to listen.Second, you are supposed to ignore the definition of perfection. Just sit and ask yourself, exactly what is perfect? Is there anyone out there that is 100% perfect? The fact is that we are only human and not one of us is without flaw. A small error is accept able; there’s no need to be perfect to the point that you begin to struggle voicing your opinion! As long as you know the topic of importance, a simple error can be overlooked.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.Why do people want to talk and not listen these days?17. How can a speaker boost his confidence during a conversation?18. How does the speaker view making a mistake when speaking?Passage TwoWhat if there was a miracle pill that if you took it each day would give you a 30% less chance of getting heart disease, and a 50% less chance of diabetes, and would help you live longer and healthier into old age. Wouldn’t you insist your children, parents, and loved ones take it, too?The miracle cure: put on your walking shoes for an hour a day and you will reap all of these health benefits, according to recent health studies published in major medical journals.Results from the 20-year long Nurse’s Health Study have shown significant decreases in occurrence of breast cancer and Type II diabetes in women who engaged in brisk walking or other vigorous exercise for seven hours a week, and as little as three hours a week for heart disease reduction. In this study, brisk walking was defined as 3-3.9 miles per hour, or 15-20 minutes per mile. This is really just a purposeful walking for most people.An hour a day, or a total of seven hours a week, is associated with decreased risk for breast cancer and Type II diabetes. As little as a half hour a day, or three hours a week, is associated with decreased risk of heart disease.Is it too late if you wait until you are 55? Studies have shown decreased risk of death in older men and women who walk regularly, so my reply would be to start now and never stop! Besides, don’t forget to add walking, exercise, and healthier eating to your life.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What’s the miracle pill discussed in the passage?20. What does the 20-year long study find?21. When is the proper time for one to start doing exercises?Passage ThreeAmerican Indians have a proud heritage and find strength there to renew their cultures. They are, as a people, generally both proud to be American and proud soldiers for this country. At any Indian gathering, the first people onto the dance floor, or introduced politically, or recognized for contributions to the tribe are the elder male veterans, then the elder women, then all other veterans, and only then people who have not served in the US military.Indian People have many problems to solve, but new social services, generally run and funded by the tribes themselves, along with new recognition of Indian People’s contributions to society, are ways that tribes and individuals are trying to change things.Today, many Indian tribes are seeing a great development, such as in California, with government programs working to reunite urban Indians with both their reservation families and other urban tribal members; programs set up both by the tribe themselves to teach their languages and open schools that focus on a tribal way of life.Most tribes have been granted some limited power in self governance as well, significantly in the area of the sentencing of tribal members in various criminal and civil issues. Special tax breaks have helped Indian people and Indian reservations become more self-sufficient. Laws have been enacted in some States that give Indians special privileges in allowing gambling in the form of slot machines and other gaming, resulting in economic gains but with increased addictive behavior, and at the expense ofspiritual and social values.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Who enjoys the priority to be introduced first at an Indian gathering?23. What could help to solve the problems Indian people are facing?24. What happened to Indian people in California?25. How does the author consider gambling in Indian tribes?Section CI’m pretty sure we all have people in our lives that we are greatly thankful for. I’m sure you can think of a few off the top of your head. I have more than I can 26. count. However, it is very rare that I actually communicate my gratitude to the people I 27. care about in my heart. I know I am supposed to be more 28. intentional about letting people know when they impact me in a 29. positive way, but I rarely take the time to extend my gratitude.One of the hardest parts about expressing gratitude for me, especially to other guys, is the difficulty of 30. getting over the awkwardness it takes to randomly send someone a message of thanks. It is easy after I have recently 31. interacted with them; however, many of the people I’m extremely grateful for I do not see very often. I actually received an email 32. unexpectedly from a really good friend. It was a simple thanks note for being a friend but it was very 33. encouraging. In addition, the subtle joy of a quick message was just enough to 34. motivate me to pass along some gratitude myself.Who are you grateful for? I know we have moved past the traditional thankfulness season, but I think it is worth extending and possibly building lasting habits of being grateful. Have you let the people you care about know recently how much you 35. appreciate them? Do you think it is possible that unexpressed gratitude can actually communicate ingratitude?答案1. B2. A3. B4.C5.
