你在巴黎的周末过得开心吗?M: Yes, it was great, mom. Look, I bought you a bottle of wine and a necktie for dad.男:嗯,太棒了,妈妈。

看,我给你买了一瓶葡萄酒,给爸爸买了一条领带。

W: Thank you, dear. That's lovely. But you did not have to do that.女:谢谢,亲爱的。

太贴心了。

不过你不用这样的。

M: Well, I don't often buy you presents, and I don't often go abroad, either.男:嗯,我没怎么给你买过礼物,我也不经常出国。

W: You had been to London, Liverpool and Edinburgh, hadn't you? Anyway, tell me about your trip. What did you do on Friday night?女:你去过伦敦、利物浦和爱丁堡,不是吗?总之,跟我说说你的旅行。

你周五晚上做什么了?M: Well, we had a quite good flight, and we got to the hotel at about seven p.m. We had a super dinner. Then Clive, Tim and I went to a bar.男:嗯,我们的飞行很顺利,大约下午七点到了酒店。

英语六级听力新题型模拟听写训练:第6套长对话(1)Conversation One对话一W: Nigel Lynch is editor of Business Travel Weekly. Nigel, thanks for being on the show. Now, what kind of problems do airline passengers face nowadays?女:奈杰尔·林奇是来自《商旅周刊》的编辑。

奈杰尔,感谢你参加今天的节目。

航空乘客现在面临着哪些问题?M: Well most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume of traffic. And if the weather is bad, you can imagine what the situation is like. Another problem that's very common is overbooking.男:大部分的问题是由繁重的交通量造成的。

而且如果天气情况恶劣,你可以想象出场面将会如何。

另外一个非常常见的问题是超额预订。

W: So, what advice would you give to business travelers?女:那么你对商务旅客有什么样的建议呢?M: I'd say, avoid big airports, if you can. Then, remember not to check your baggage if you can help it. Another thing is: be prepared for delays.男:我想说,如果可能的话,避免去比较大的机场。

然后还要记得,如果行李可以随身携带就不要托运。

还有一件事就是做好飞机延误的准备。

W: Nigel, what kind of mistakes do inexperienced travelers make?女:奈杰尔,一般没有经验的乘客会犯什么样的错?M: The first mistake business travelers makeis to take far too much luggage. Remember, take only carry-on luggage, because in most airports, you can get away with two small bags. Another mistake people make is to think that you have to pay full price for air tickets. You should find out about the different ticket options. And another mistake is to go away for too long. Most people's efficiency and energy start to fall off after two weeks away. So my advice is to keep your trip short, only go for two weeks and never for a longer than three. Another point is, inexperienced travelers often expect everything to go according to plan. The fact is travelers need to learn to expect the unexpected.男:商务旅客最容易犯的错就是带太多行李。

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneW: Hello.M: Hello, is that the reference library?W: Yes. Can I help you?M: I hope so. I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, 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. Hawtin, Denys. 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 fifteen.M: Yes.W: He graduated at seventeen with a first class degree in Physics and Mathematics. All right? M: Yes, all right.W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen. It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, 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 foundation 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 Hawtin 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.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What do we learn about Denys Hawtin when he was 15?2. What did Denys Hawtin do at the age of 24?3. For what were Denys Hawtin and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time?4. Why did Denys Hawtin go to New York?Conversation TwoW: This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ newsroom, talking with Mike Bassichis, who is the director of the Gifford School, about the cleanup from last week’s fire and what the possible cause of that blaze may have been.M: We’re getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow whereupon we are going to move into temporary classrooms. And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been determined.W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have had the same problem?M: No. I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself. All I know is that this fire went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly. And it may be that th ere was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody.W: I got you. When do kids come back to school?M: Next Monday, and we will be ready for them. Monday January 4. We’re just extremely thrilled that no one was hurt and tha t’s because of the fire fighters that were here, nine of them. They’re wonderful.W: And I’m sure you send your thanks out to them, uh?M: Well, we’re sending out thanks to them in a letter or in any other way we can. I heard a storytoday where one of our kids actually baked some cookies and is taking it to the fire department, to give it to them.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What were the speakers talking about?6. What were the school staff doing at the time of the accident?7. What was supposed to be the cause of the accident?8. What did one of the kids do to show gratitude?Section BDirections:In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn today’s personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life.This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive. And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being funny isn’t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown. It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws.He has found that humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others. “It’s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it d ifferently,” says Martin. We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.Though humor is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self. Those who use self-defeating humor, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone. Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. How do people today view humor according to the speaker?10. What did the ancient Greeks think of humor?11. What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor?Passage Two (female voice)And now, if you’ll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we’re going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think you’ll agree it has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grand houses you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside, which were lit up at night. A very attractive sight.As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, which would add to the relaxed atmosphere. The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak. It’s rather remarkable for the fact that although it is extremely big, it’s supported by just six rather slim legs. However, it seems to have survived like that for two hundred years, so it’s probably going to last a bit longer. The chairs which go wi th the table are not a complete set—there were originally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and no arm-rests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past.And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you’d like to follow me into the Great Hall …Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. What do we learn about the speaker?13. What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting?14. What is said about the oval table in the room?15. What does the speaker say about the chairs?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions. The recordings will be played only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator:Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Soci ology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller:Thank you for that introduction. Today, I’d like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spokeproudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, in my grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one’s health but the loss of identity andself-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind ima ges of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, I’d like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Miller’s articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Miller’s grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speech?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious andlong-lasting impacts.Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. Afterth at, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem.“It’s not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don’t have the politicians on board, and also the...people that implement [programs] in the field.”Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first si x months of a child’s life.Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.“They really did very active promotion of diver sity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she says nations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.20. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding children’s undernourishment in their earliest days of life?21. What does IFPRI’s Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life?22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980s?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the product or service. There are certain products and services that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.Suitable products generally have a high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvious examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to post, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop computers are another good product for selling online.Digital products, such as software, films and music, can be sold in a purely virtual environment. The goods are paid for by online transactions, and then downloaded onto the buyer’s computer. There are no postage or delivery costs, so prices can be kept low.Many successful virtual companies provide digital services, such as financial transactions, in the case of Paypal, or means of communication, as Skype does. The key to success here is providing an easy-to-use, reliable service. Do this and you can easily become the market leader, as Skype has proved.Products which are potentially embarrassing to buy also do well in the virtual environment. Some of the most profitable e-commerce companies are those selling sex-related products or services. For a similar reason, online gambling is highly popular.Products which are usually considered unsuitable for selling online include those that have a taste or smell component. Food, especially fresh food, falls into this category, along with perfume. Clothes and other items that need to be tried on such as diamond rings and gold necklaces are generally not suited to virtual retailing, and, of course, items with a low value-to-weight ratio.There are exceptions, though. Online grocery shopping has really taken off, with most major supermarkets offering the service. The inconvenience of not being able to see the food you are buying is outweighed by the time saved and convenience of having the goods delivered. Typical users of online supermarkets include the elderly, people who work long hours and those without their own transport.23 What is important to the success of an online store?24. What products are unsuitable for selling online?25. Who are more likely to buy groceries online?参考答案Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1. C2. B3. C4. D5. D6. B7. A8. CSection B9. D 10. B 11.

but from what I saw at his lab, which is still a work in progress.但是根据我从他实验室里看到的,该实验仍处于进展当中。

The flesh, grown from stem cells, is pale white and tasteless,因为人造肉是用干细胞培育而成,无色无味,so food technologists have had to mix in breadcrumbs, caramel and saffron to add flavor and juice to add color.因此食物专家用面包屑,焦糖和藏红花为其加味、用果汁为其上色。

The mixture is then put together to make the burger that will be cooked then eaten by two food writers.所有用料添加完毕后进行烹制,最后制成汉堡由两位美食作家品尝。

英语六级听力新题型模拟听写训练:第6套短文(1)Passage One短文一There are three main elements that combine to create either a positive or negative experience for listeners.有三个主要的因素结合在一起决定着听众正面或负面的体验。

They can result in a voice that is pleasing to listen to and can be used effectively.它们联合作用可能让声音听起来悦耳,并起到应有的效果。

Or they can create a voice that doesn't hold attention, or even worse, causes an adverse reaction.但也可能使声音被别人充耳不闻,甚至造成负面的效果。

The three elements are volume, pitch, and pace.这三个要素就是音量、音调和语速。

When evaluating volume, keep in mind that a good speaker will adjust to the size of both the room and the audience.在对音量进行评估时,要记住,一个好的演讲者会根据房间大小和听众人数两个因素来对音量进行调节。

Of course, with an amplifying device like a microphone, the speaker can use a natural tone.当然,如果使用了像麦克风一样的放大工具,说话者可以使用自然音量。

But speakers should not be dependent on microphones; a good speaker can speak loudly without shouting.但是演讲者不应该对麦克风形成依赖,好的演讲者可以不用喊就发出洪亮的声音。

CET-6 新题型样卷听写Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea.When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard.Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Now listen to the passage.George Herbert Mead said that humans are talked into humanity.He meant that we gain personal identity as we communicate with others.In the earliest years of our lives, our parents tell us who we are.Youre intelligent.Youre so strong.We first see ourselves through the eyes of others, so their messages form important foundations of our self-concepts.Later we interact with teachers, friends, romantic partners, and co-workers who communicate their views of us.Thus, how we see ourselves reflects the views of us that others communicate. The profound connection between identity and communication is dramatically evident in children who are deprived of human contact.Case studies of children who were isolated from others reveal that they lack a firm self-concept, and their mental and psychological development is severely hindered by lack of language.Communication with others not only affects our sense of identity but also directly influences our physical and emotional well-being.Consistently, research shows that communicating with others promotes health, whereas social isolation is linked to stress, disease, and early death. People who lack close friends have greater levels of anxiety and depression than people who are close to others.A group of researchers reviewed scores of studies that traced the relationship between health and interaction with others.The conclusion was that social isolation is statistically as dangerous as high blood pressure, smoking and obesity.Many doctors and researchers believe that loneliness harms the immune system, making us more vulnerable to a range of minor and major illnesses.Now the passage will be read again.George Herbert Mead said that humans are talked into humanity.He meant that we gain personal identity as we communicate with others.In the earliest years of our lives, our parents tell us who we are."You're intelligent.""You're so strong."We first see ourselves through the eyes of others, so their messages form important foundations of our self-concepts.Later we interact with teachers, friends, romantic partners, and co-workers who communicate their views of us.Thus, how we see ourselves reflects the views of us that others communicate.

Sometimes, even in civilized countries, people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel of charm.These are because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness or because it is connected with their religious beliefs.Now the passage will be read again.Nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body suchas fur, feathers, hair, or a thick hide.But man has nothing but a thin skin, and for thousands of years human beings must have wandered about the world with no other covering—though the earliest men may perhaps have been hairier than modern man.It is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with the climate, or with our need for warmth.For instance, we wear clothes to some extent in order to decorate ourselves—to make ourselves, if possible, look more graceful than we are.Even the plainest clothes worn by civilized people have their buttons, collars and so forth arranged in such a way that they form a kind of decoration, and the material itself is of a kind and color that we think suits us, and is cut or arranged in a way that we think looks nice—though ideas about what looks nice change very much from time to time.Besides decorating us our clothes have to link us up with the people amongst whom we live.We feel uncomfortable if they do not “look right” or if they are not similar to those which other people of our age, sex, country and period are wearing.

Their daily amount of food and oxygen, and production of carbon dioxide were measured.Then participants were divided into two groups, with one limited to sleeping five hours a night, while the other continued to be allowed nine hours.After five nights, the groups switched.During this part of the experiment, participants were allowed to eat as much as they wanted.The researchers found that participants burned about 5 percent more calories when their sleep was limited to five hours, but they consumed about 6 percent more calories, compared with when they were allowed nine hours.Although the participants ate less at breakfast when they had five hours of sleep, they ate more over the rest of the day; they especially consumed an increased number of calories after the dinner and finally gained weight.When they shifted to adequate sleep patterns they lose the pounds.Now the passage will be read again.Not getting enough sleep doesn’t just make you tired.It also makes you fat because of increased food-eating, according to researchers in America.The researchers carried out a study which included eight men and eight women, and found that participants who lacked sleep for a week gained almost two pounds.To establish a standard, participants spent the first three nights sleeping up to nine hours a night, and consumed only as many calories as they burned each day.
