No one's able to get through yesterday. My telephone was disconnected by the phone company.Q: What does the woman ask the man about?12.W: I finally found a really nice apartment that's within my price range.M: Congratulations! Affordable housing is rare in this city. I've been looking for a suitable place since I got here six months ago.Q: What does the man mean?13.M: I got this in my mailbox today, but I don't know what it is. Do you have any idea?W: Oh, that's your number for the new photocopier. It acquires an access code. Everyone got one.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14.W: Jane told me that you'll be leaving at soon. Is it true?M: Yeah, my wife's maternity leave is close to an end. And since she wants to go back to work, I've decided to take a year off to raise the baby.Q: What does the man mean?15M: We'll never find a parking space here. What about dropping you at thesouth gate and I'll find parking somewhere else. W: Well, OK. It looks like everyone in town came to the mall today.Q: What does the woman mean?16W: When will the computers be back online?M: Probably not until tomorrow. The problem is more complicated than I thought.Q: What does the man mean?17M: Did you catch Professor Smith on TV last night?W: I almost missed it, but my mother just happened to be watching at home and gave me a call.Q: What does the woman imply?18M: May I get this prescription refilled?W: I'm sorry, sir, but we can't give you a refill on that. You'll have to get a new prescription.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?W: Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in spo nsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia.M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are they hoping to get from us?W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don’t know if they might settle for us.M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in tongue for as much money as they think they’ll give.M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?W: It seems so.M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What we get out of it?W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum of money, but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we ask for our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertising space in it.M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.W: I know. But why don’t we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves on condition that on the front cove r there's something like This program is presented with the compliments of Norland Electronics, and free advertising of course.M: Good idea. Well, let’s get back to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Then we can see if we are interested or not.Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What do we learn about the South Theater Company?20. What benefit does the woman say their firm can get by sponsoring the Theater Company?21. What does the woman suggest they do instead of paying the South Theater Company’s travel expenses? Conversation TwoW: Rock stars now face a new hazard --- voice abuse. After last week's announcement that Phil Collins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counseling stars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voice problems?M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about where they work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voices after a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords.W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice problems? M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-available on the continent and they are useful if a singer has problems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if they are taken regularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. They have difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, singing in smoky places.W: So, what would you advise the singers to do?M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down after.Questions 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does last week's announcement say about rock star, Phil Collins?23. What does Paul Philips say about aspirin?24. What does Paul Philips say about young pop singers?25. What are the speakers mainly talking about?Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question will confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown.The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems.Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required.A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to drive it. Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to newly users. Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the U.S. subsidiary of a German company. This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do we learn about the robot parking in the U.S. so far?27. What advantage does robotic parking have according to the developers?28. What does the attendant do in the automated garage?29. What does the company say about the parking rate?Passage 2A recent study shows that meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicles. So how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, always gas limed methane, which is the second most common green house gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that methane is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane that released into the atmosphere coming from farm animals. Another way in which meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef. While 20 gallons of water are need to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland use to for raising cows can produce 250 pounds of beef. One acre of farmland use to for crop production can produce 1,500 pounds of tomatoes. Many people now say the benefits of switching to vegetarian diet which excludes meat and fish. Not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting theenvironment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian diet. They believe such a diet which includes no products from animal sources can be deficient in many of the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Today many people have come to realize that help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you've just heard.30. What does the recent study show?31. What do some nutritionists say about the strict vegetarian diet?32. What does the speaker think more people need to do?Passage 3Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearly nine million Americans alone suffer from the illness. Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between the alcohol addict and social drinker. The difference occurs when someone needs to drink.And this need gets in the way of his health or behavior. Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertness. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and other parts of the body. The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobile accidents. Another problem is that the victim often denies being an alcohol addict and won’t get help. Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centers help patients cope. Without the assist ance, the victim can destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose his employment, home or loved ones.All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. There is no standard for a person with alcoholism. Victims range in age, race, sex and background. Some groups of people are more vulnerable to the illness. People from broken homes and North American Indians are two examples. People from broken homes often lack stable lives. Indians likewise had the traditional life taken from them by white settlers who often encourage them to consume alcohol to prevent them from fighting back. The problem has now been passed on. Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. With proper assistance, victims can put their lives together one day.Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33. What is the problem of the victims about alcoholism according to the speaker?Q34. Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?Q35. What does the speaker seem to believe about those affected by alcoholism?Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself. If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfather who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of your self-image are bought to light — the roles of grandparent, widower and conscientious citizen.But self-image is more than how you picture yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three types of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation. Conformation occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you are.You believe you have leadership abilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work team. On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treat you in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself definition. Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election. He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise— Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept. The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occurs when others fail torespond to your notion of self by responding neutrally. A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encouraging remarks. Rather than relying on how others classify you, consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best refection of yourself-image.附:参考答案11. Why she could not get through to him12. He has difficulty finding affordable housing13.

Nice to meet you!M: Nice to meet you, too, Kathy. My name is John. I'm a university friend of the bride. What about you?Who do you know at this party?W: I am a colleague of Brenda. I was a little surprised to be invited, to be honest. We've only been working togeher the last six months,but we quickly became good friends.We just wrapted up a project with a difficult client last week.I bet Brenda is glad it's done with ,and she can focus on wedding preparations.M:Oh,yes.So you're Kathy from the office.Actually,I've heard a lot about you and that project. The client sounded like a real nightmare!W:Oh,he was. I mean we deal with all kinds of people on a regular basis.It's part of the job, but he was especially particular ,enough about that. What line of work are you in?M:Well,right out of college,I worked in advertising for a while.Recently, though,I turn my photography hobby into a small business.I'll actually be taking photos during the big event as a wedding gift.W:That sounds wonderful and very thoughtful of you, I bake, just as a hobby.But Brandon has asked me to do the cake for the wedding, I was a bit nervous saying yes, because I'm far from a professional.M:Did you bake the cookies here at the party tonight?W:Yes, I got the idea from a magazine.M:They are delicious! You've got nothing to worry about.You're natural.W:You really think so?M:If you hadn't told me that, I would have guessed they were backed by a restaurant.You know,with our event planning experience, you could very well open your own shop.W:Ha,ha!One step at a time. First, I'll see how baking the wedding cake goes, if it's not a diaster, maybe I will give it some more thought.1.What did Kathy and Brenda finish doing last week?2.What is John going to do for Brenda?3.How did Kathy feel when asked to bake the cake?4.What does the man suggest the woman do?Question 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.M:You're heading for a completely different world now that you're about to graduate from high school.W:I know it's the end of high school, but many of my classmates are going on to the same University, and we are still required to study hard.So what's the difference?M:Many aspects are different here at University.The most important one is that you have to take more individual responsibility for your actions. It's up to your own self-discipline how much effort you put into study. Living in college dormitories, there are no parents to tell you to study harder or stop wasting time. Lecturers have hundreds of students, and they are not going to follow you up or question you if you missed their lectures.W:Nobody cares, you mean?M:It's not that nobody is concerned about you. It's just that suddenly at University you are expected to behave like an adult. That means concentrating on the direction of your life in general and your own academic performance specifically.W:For example?M:Well, like you need to manage your daily, weekly and monthly schedules so that you will study regularly.Be sure to attend all classes and leave enough time to finish assignments and prepare well for examinations.W:Okay, and what else is different?M:Well, in college, there are lots of distractions and you need to control yourself. You will make interesting friends, but you need only keep the friends who respect your study commitments. Also, there are a lot of wonderful clubs, but you shouldn't allocate too much time to club activities, unless they are directly related to your study. It's also your choice if you want to go out at night, but you will be foolish to let that affect your class performance during the day.W:Well, I am determined to do well in University and I guess I am going to have to grow up fast.5.What does the man say about college students as compared with high schoolers?6.What are college students expected to do according to the man?7.What kind of friends does the man suggest the woman nake as a college student?8.What kind of club activities should college students engage in according to the man?Question 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Most successful people are unorthodox persons whose minds wander outside traditional ways of thinking. Instead of trying to refine out formulas, they invent new ones. When Jean-Claude Killymade the French National Ski Team in the early 1960s he was prepared to work harder than anyone else to be the best. At the crack of dawn he would run up the slopes with his skin on, an unbelievably backbreaking activity.In the evening, he would do weightlifting and running. But the other team members were working as hard and long as he was. He realized instinctively thatsimply training harder would never be enough. Killy then began challenging the basic theories of racing technique. Each week he wouldtry something different to see if he could find a better, faster way down the mountain.His experiments resulted in a new style that was almost exactly opposite the accepted technique of the time. It involved skiing with his legs apart for better balance and sitting back on the skis when he came to a turn.He also used ski poles in an unorthodox way to proper himself as his skied.The explosive news style helped cut Killy's racing time dramatically. In 1966 and 1967, he captured virtually every major skiing trophy. The next year, he won three gold medals in the Winter Olympics, a record in ski racing that has never been topped. Killy learned an important secret shared by many creative people:Innovations don't require genius, just a willingness to question the way things have always been done.9.What does the speaker say about most successful people?10.What does the speaker say about Killy's experiments?11.What is said to be Killy's biggest honor inhis skiing career?Question 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Scientific experiments have demonstrated incredible ways to kill a guinea pig,a small furry animal. Emotional upsets generate powerful and deadly toxic substance. Blood samples taken from persons experiencing intense fear or anger when injected into guinea pigs have killed them in less than two minutes. Imagine what these poisonous subtense can do to your own body. Even though that you have affects your body chemistry within a split second. Remember how you feel when you are speeding down the highway and a big truck suddenly breaks 20 metres in front of you. A shock wave shoots through your whole system. Your mind produces instead reactions in your body. The toxic substances, that fear, anger, frustration and stress produce not only kill guinea pigs but kill us off in a similar manner. It's impossible to be fearful, anxious, irritated and healthy at the same time. It's not just difficult. It's impossible. Simply put, your body's health is a reflection of your mental health. Sickness will often then be a result of unresolved inner conflicts which in time show up in the body. It is also fascinating how our subconscious mind shapes our health.Do you recall falling sick on a day when you didn't want to go to school? Headache brought on be fear? The mindbody connection is such that if, for example, we want to avoid something, very often our subconscious mind will arrange it. Once we recognize that these things happen to us, we are halfway to doing something about them.12.What happens to guinea pigs when blood samples of angry people are injected into them?13.What does the speaker say about every thought you have?14.What does the speaker say is the impossible?15.What does the passage say about our mind and body?Question 16 to 18 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Teachers and students alike have experienced a curious paradox that beginners, as a rule, tend to think too little about what they are doing because they think too much about what they are doing. Take, for example, people who are learning to play basketball or the piano. They have to give so much thought and attention to the low-level machanics of handling the ball or the fingering the key or reading the music,that they are unable to give any thought to the thing that matters--the game,or the music, respectively.With experts. It's just the other way around. They're open to the tacticalpossibilities and that musical challenges precisely because they're freed, through skill, from the needto pay attention to the low-level details of how to play.Indeed, when the experts pays attention to the mechanics, this is liable to disrupt performance. This has led some to say that the experts operates in a zero “beyond thought”, in a state of flow.But this is misleading.Experts performances is not beyond thought.Smart basketball players or skilled musicians need to pay close attention to the demands of high performance, to the challenges to be overcome. What they don't need to do--what would be a distraction--is to have to think about where their fingers are, or how to control the ball while running. It's not mechanical, but the play itself, that absorbs the expert's intelligence. Nice video published online last month sheds light on expertise and conscious mind. The video reports a new study using an eye-tracking device.It turns out that the less-skilled pianist spends more time looking at her finger than does the experts who, in contrast, is more likely to be looking at the sheet music, or looking ahead at keys he's not yet playing. In general, the expert's gaze was calmer and more stable. This is not a surprising finding.It supports we might almost think of as conventional wisdom.But it's remarkable for all that, nonetheless. The eye tracker gives experts and learning performance a glimpse into what they do without thinking about it. The topic of the nature of skill --and the differences between beginners and experts--has been one of considerable discussion in cognitive of science and philosophy.16.What does the speaker say about beginners and expert pianists?17.What do smart basketball players do according to the speaker?18.What do we learn about the new study published in an online video?Question 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Every summer, when I top up my selection of summer outfits from the department stores, my eyes would nearly pop out of my head. I am overwhelmed with a wide range of different slimming products each year. And more shockingly, these products are often avocated by very slim models. Having lived in Asia for almost 10 years now,I've seen various dieting tips come and go.I remember in Japan, people heading directly to the fruit section in the supermarket when the banana diet was as its peak.Then there was a black tea and oolong tea diet, followed by the soybean diet and the tomato juice diet. The list goes on and on. Apart from what people eat, i've also seen many interesting slimming products. In Hong Kong, I've seen girls wrapping their whole body or both legs upwith a special type of slimming tape which is supposed to help make them thinner.But it just reminded me of the roasted ham my mother usually puts on the dinner table at Christmas. Then there were the face slimming rollers that were said to improve your blood circulation and make your face smaller.Personally, I do not believe in any of these slimming gadgets and I think I have a very different perspective when it comes to the definition of what is beautiful. Asian women perfer to avoid the sun, because being pale of white is considered beautiful, whereas a tanned complexion is considered much more beautiful and sexy in the west. It is most certainly shaped by a person's culture as well as how they were raised in their childhood. As each summer season approaches, there's no escape from it. But it's not only women who are affected by this pressure to look good.Men aspire to be able to show off their six packs or their V-shaped backs,and there's a growing market of slimming pills aimed at men, too. I think no matter what diets we follow or what slimming products we obsess ourselves with, at the end of the day, there's no magic trick to shape up for the summer.Eat in a balance way and incorporate the right level of physical activity. For me, this still seems to be the best plan.19.What overwhelms the speaker when she buys her summer outfits each year?20.What does the speaker think of girls wraping their legs up with slimming tape?21.What does the speaker think affects people's interpretation of beauty?Question 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Skin may seem like a superficial human attribute, but it's the first thing we noticed about anyone we meet, As a zoologist focusing on the studies of apes and monkeys,I've been studying why humans evolved to become the naked ape,and why skin comes in so many different shades around the world. We can make a very good estimate from the fossil record that humans probably evolved naked skin around 1.5 million years ago, and meanwhile they mostly lost their coat of fur.Today, we have a few patches of hair remaining on various parts of our bodies. But compared with apes and monkeys, we have very little. Basically,we turned our skin darker to serge as a natural sun protector in the place of the hair we lost.We think we lost this hair because of the need to keep ourselves cool when we were moving around vigorously in a hotenvironment. We can't really lose heat by breathing quickly and loudly like dogs. We have to do it by sweating.So we evolved the ability to sweat plentifully and lost most of our fur.Most animals protect themselves from the sun with fur. What we did in our ancestry was to produce more prermanent natural coloring in our skin cells. This was really an important revolution in human history because it allowed us to continue to evolve in equatorial environment.It really made it possible for us to contunue along the path toward modern humans in Africa. For most of human history,we all had dark skin.What we see today is the product of evolutionary events resulting from the dispersal of a few human populations out of Africa around 60000 to 70000 years ago. Our species originated around 200000 years ago and underwent tremendous diversification--culturally,technoloically,linguistically,artistically--for 130000 years. After that, a few small populations left Africa to populate the rest of the world. These early ancestors of modern Eurasians dispersed into parts of the world that had more seasonal sunshine and much lower levels of sun radiation.

2018年6月英语六级听力真题及原文答案
2018年6月英语六级听力真题及原文答案第一篇：2018年6月英语六级听力真题及原文答案2018年6月英语六级听力真题及原文答案（第一套全）Section A Conversation One M: What's all that? Are you going to make a salad? W: No I'm going to make a gazpacho.M: What's that? W: Gazpacho is a cold soup from Spain.It’s mostly vegetables.I guess you could call it a liquid salad.M: Cold soup? Sounds weird.W: It's delicious.Trust me.I tried it for the first time during my summer vacation in Spain.You see, in the south of Spain, it gets very hot in the summer, up to 40°C.So a cold gazpacho is very refreshing.The main ingredients are tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, olive oil and stale bread.M: Stale bread? Surely you mean bread for dipping into the soup? W: No.Bread is crushed and blended in like everything else.It adds texture and thickness to the soup.M: Mm.And is it healthy? W: Sure.As I said earlier it's mostly vegetables.You can also add different things if you like, such as hard-boiled egg or cured ham.M: Cured ham? What’s that?W: That's another Spanish delicacy.Have you never heard of it? It is quite famous.M: no, is it good too? W: Oh, yeah, definitely.It’s amazing.It’s a little dry and salty, and it's very expensive because it comes from a special type of pig that only eats a special type of food.The harm is covered in salt to dry and preserve it.And left to hang for up to 2 years, it has a very distinct flavor.M: Mm.Sounds interesting.Where can I find some? W: It used to be difficult to get Spanish produce here.But it's now a lot more common.Most large supermarket chains have cured ham in little packets but in Spain you combine a whole leg.M: A whole peg leg? Why would anybody want so much ham? W: In Spain,many people buy a whole leg for special group events, such as Christmas.They cut it themselves into very thin slices with a long flat knife.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.What do we learn about gazpacho? 2.For what purpose is stale bread mixed into gazpacho?3.Why does the woman think gazpacho is healthy?4.What does the woman say about cured ham? Conversation Two M: Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.W: Hi, yes.What kind of wine would you like? M: I don't know, sorry.I don't know much about wine.W: That’s no problem at all.What’s the occasion and how much would you like to spend?M: It's for my boss.It’s his birthday.I know he likes wine, but I don't know what type.I also do not want anything too expensive, maybe mid-range.How much would you say is a mid-range bottle of wine approximately? W: Well, it varies greatly.Our lowest prices are around $6 a bottle, but those are table wines.They are not very special.And I would not suggest them as a gift.On the other end, our most expensive bottles are over $150.If you are looking for something priced in the middle, I would say anything between $30 and $60 would make a decent gift.How does that sound? M: Mm, yeah.I guess something in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good.Which type would you recommend? W: I would say the safest option is always a red wine.They are generally more popular than whites, and can usually be paired with food more easily.Our specialty here are Italian wines, and these tend to be fruity with medium acidity.This one here is a Chianti, which is perhaps Italy's most famous type of red wine.Alternatively, you may wish to try and surprise your boss with something less common, such as the Infantile.The grapes are originally native to Croatia but this winery is in east in Italy and it has a more spicyand peppery flavor.So to summarize, the Chianti is more classical and the Infantile more exciting.Both are similarly priced at just under $40.M: I will go with Chianti then.Thanks.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.What does the woman think of table wines? 6.What is the price range of wine the man will consider? 7.Why does the woman recommend red wines? 8.What do we learn about the wine the man finally bought? Section B Passage One Many people enjoy secret codes, the harder the code the more some people would try to figure it out.In war time, codes are especially important, they help army send news about battles and signs of enemy forces.Neither side wants its code broken by the other.One very important code was never broken, it was used during world war two by the Americans.It was spoken code, never written down and it was developed and used by NH Indians.They were called the NH code talkers.The NH created the codes in their own language.NH was hard to learn and only a few people know it.So it was pretty certain that the enemy would not be able to understand the code talkers.In addition, the talkers used code words.They called a submarine and an iron fish and a small bomb thrown by hand, a potato.If they wanted to spell something, they used code words for letters of the Alphabet.For instance, the letter A was ant or apple or ax, the code talkers worked mostly in the islands in the Pacific.One or two would be assigned a group of soldiers.They would send messages by field telephone to the code talker in the next group.And he would relay the information to his commander.The code talkers played an important part in several battles.They helped the troops coordinate their movements and attacks.After the war, the US governments honored them for what they had accomplished.Theirs was the most successfulwartime code ever used.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.What does the speaker say many people enjoy doing? 10.What do we learn about the NH talkers?11.What is the speaker mainly talking about? Passage Two If you are young and thinking about your career, you want to know where you can make a living, well, this going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge intensive jobs in the next twenty years.Particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills.One is teaching, and the other, health care.You have so many applications and software and platforms, but going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of health care and education sectors, would be radically changed, and lots of jobs will be lost.Now, where will the new jobs be found, well the one sector of the economy that can't be easily duplicated by even small technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector, that is, you can't really get a robot to do a great massage or physical therapy.Or, you can't get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service.There could be very high and personal services, therapist do charge a lot of money, I think there's no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care, people would like if they could afford it.But, the real question in the future is, how come people afford these things if they don't have money, because they can't get a job that pays enough, that's why I wrote this book, which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes, to what we used to consider high income work.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.What does the speaker say will happen in the next twenty years? 13.Where will youngpeople have more chances to find jobs? 14.What does the speaker say about therapist?15.What i s the speaker’s book about? Section C Recording One American researchers have discovered the world's oldest paved road, a 4,600-year-old highway.It linked a stone pit in the Egyptian desert to waterways that carried blocks to monument sites along the Nile.The eight-mile road is at least 500 years older than any previously discovered road.It is the only paved road discovered in ancient Egypt, said geologist Thomas Bown of the United States Geological Survey.He reported the discovery on Friday.“The road proba bly doesn't rank with the pyramids as a construction feat, but it is a major engineering achievement,” said his colleague, geologist James Harrell of the University of Toledo.“Not only is the road earlier than we thought possible, we didn't even think they built roads.” The researchers also made a discovery in the stone pit at the northern end of the road: the first evidence that the Egyptians used rock saws.“This is the oldest example of saws being used for cutting stone,” said Bown’s colleague James Hoffm eier of Wheaton College in Illinois.“That's two technologies we didn't know they had,” Harrell said “And we don't know why they were both abandoned.” The road was discovered in the Faiyum Depression, about 45 miles southwest of Cairo.Short segments of the road had been observed by earlier explorers, Bown said, but they failed to realize its significance or follow up on their observations.Bown and his colleagues stumbled across it while they were doing geological mapping in the region.The road was clearly built to provide services for the newly discovered stone pit.Bown and Harrell have found the camp that housed workers at the stone pit.The road appears today to go nowhere, ending in the middle of thedesert.When it was built, its terminal was a dock on the shore of Lake Moeris, which had an elevation of about 66 feet above sea level, the same as the ke Moeris received its water from the annual floods of the Nile.At the time of the floods, the river and lake were at the same level and connected through a gap in the hills near the modern villages of el-Lahun and Hawara.Harrell and Bown believe that blocks were loaded onto barges during the dry season, then floated over to the Nile during the floods to be shipped off to the monument sites at Giza and Saqqara.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.16.What do we learn from the lecture about the world’s oldest paved road in Egypt? 17.What did the researchers discover in the stone pit? 18.For what purpose was the paved road built? Recording Two The thin, extremely sharp needles didn’t hurt at all going in.Dr.Gong pierced them into my left arm, around the elbow that had been bothering me.Other needles were slipped into my left wrist and, strangely, into my right arm, and then into both my closed eyelids.There wasn’t any discomfort, just a mild warming sensation.However, I did begin to wonder what had driven me here, to the office of Dr.James Gong, in New York’s Chinatown.Then I remembered－－the torturing pain in that left elbow.Several trips to a hospital and two expensive, uncomfortable medical tests had failed to produce even a diagnosis.“Maybe you lean on your left arm too much,”the doctor concluded, suggesting I see a bone doctor.During the hours spent waiting in vain to see a bone doctor, I decided to take another track and try acupuncture.A Chinese-American friend recommended Dr.Gong.I took the subway to Gong’s second-floor office, marked with a hand-painted sign.Dr.Gong speaks English, but not often.Most of myquestions to him were greeted with a friendly laugh, but I managed to let him know where my arm hurt.He asked me to go into a room, had me lie down on a bed, and went to work.In the next room, I learned, a woman dancer was also getting a treatment.As I lay there a while, I drifted into a dream-like state and fantasized about what she looked like.Acupuncturists today are as likely to be found on Park Avenue as on Mott Street.In all there are an estimated 10,000 acupuncturists in the country.Nowadays, a lot of M.D.s have learned acupuncture techniques;so have a number of dentists.Reason? Patient demand.Few, though, can adequately explain how acupuncture works.Acupuncturists may say that the body has more than 800 acupuncture points.A life force called qi circulates through the body.Points on the skin are energetically connected to specific organs, body structures and systems.Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of qi.The truth is, though acupuncture is at least 2,200 years old,“nobody really knows what’s happening,”says Paul Zmiewski, a Ph.D.in Chinese studies who practices acupuncture in Philadelphia.After five treatments, there has been dramatic improvement in my arm, and the pain is a fraction of what it was.The mainly silent Dr.Gong finally even offered a diagnosis for what troubled me.“Pinched nerve,”he said.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.19.What does the speaker find especially strange? 20.Why did the speaker go see Dr.Gong? 21.What account for the growing popularity of acupuncture in the United States, according to the speaker? Recording Three Ronald and Lois married for two decades considered themselves a happy couple.But in the early years of their marriage both were distilled by persistent arguments that seem to fade away without everbeing truly resolved.They uncovered clues to what was going wrong by researching a fascinating subject.How birth order affects not only your personality but also how compatible you are with your mate.Ronald and Lois are only children and onlies grow upaccustomed to being the apple of parents’ eyes.Match two onlies and you have partners to sub consciously expect each other to continue fulfilling this expectation while neither has much experience in the giving and here's a list of common birth order characteristics and some thoughts on the best and worst Marischal matches for each.The oldest tends to be self-assured, responsible, a high achiever and relatively seriously reserved.He may be slow to make friends.Perhaps content with only one companion.The best matches are with a youngest and only or a mate raised in a large family.The worst match is with another oldest since the two will be too sovereign to share a household comfortably.The youngest child of the family thrives on the tension and tends to be outgoing, adventurous, optimistic, creative and less ambitious than others in the family.He may lack self-discipline and have difficulty making decisions on his own.A youngest brother of brothers often unpredictable and romantic will match best with an oldest sister of brothers.The youngest sister of brothers is best matched with the oldest brother of sisters who will happily indulge these traits.The middle child is influenced by many variables however middles are less likely to take initiative and more anxious and self-critical than others.Middles often successfully marry other middles.Since both are strong on tact not so strong on the aggressiveness and tend to crave affection.The only child is often most comfortable when alone.But since an only tends to be a well-adjustedindividual she'll eventually learn to relate to any chosen spouse.The male only child expects his wife to make life easier without getting much in return.He is sometimes best matched with the younger sister of brothers.The female only child who tends to be slightly more flexible is well matched with an older man who will indulge her tendency to test his love—her worst much.Another only of course.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.22.What does the speaker say about Ronald and Lois's early years of married life? 23.What do we learn about Ronald and Lois? 24.What does the speaker say about the oldest child in the family? 25.What does the speaker say about the only children? 参考答案：BADCB ADDCA CBCAB DABDC.ACADB第二篇：2013年12月英语六级听力真题原文及答案【短对话】1.W: What a wonderful performance!Your rockband has never sounded better.M: Many thanks.I guess all those hours ofpractice in the past month are finally paying off.Q：What does the man mean?2.M: I can't decide what to do for my summer vacation.I either want to go on a bike tour ofEurope or go diving in Mexico.W: Well, we're offering an all-inclusive two-week trip to Mexico for only 300 dollars.Q：What does the woman suggest the man do for his vacation?3.W: How long do you think this project might take?M: I'd say about three months, but it could take longer if something unexpectedhappened.Maybe we'd better allow an extra month, so we won’t have to worry about beinglate.Q: Why does the man say extra time should be allowed for the project?4.M: I'm thinking about becoming a member here, and I'dlike some information.W: Sure.A three-month membership costs 150 dollars, and that includes use of the wait-room, sauna and pool.I'll give you a free path so that you can try out the facilities before youdecide.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?5.W: I'm sorry to hear that you failed the Physics course, Ted.M: Let's face it.I'm just not cut out to be a scientist.Q: What does the man mean?6.M: Gary insisted on buying the food for the picnic.W: That's pretty generous of him.But shouldn't we at least offer to share the expenses?He has a big family to support.Q: What does the woman suggest they do?7.W: Did you see the headlines in the paper this morning?M: Year.Apparently the bus company will be laying off its employees if they can't reach anagreement on wages by midnight.Q: What did the man read about?8.W: Have we received payment for the overseas order we delivered last month?M: Yes.The cheque came in yesterday afternoon.I'll be depositing it when I go the banktoday.Q: What is the woman concerned about?

The small community of North Haven on LongIsland is home to some six hundred to sevenhundred deer.The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimumpopulation at 60.The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens andshrubs are protected byhigh fences.Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of theroad that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of thebodies.Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases.On theoccasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure courtorders against the hunts.And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots andpans to alert the deer.Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved intoconfrontations.The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem.Some communities have evendiscussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix.That means wolves inthe suburbs of New York.It is almost too wonderful not to try it.The wolves would kill deer ofcourse.They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburbandwellers have in mind.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heardQ16.What do we learn about white-tailed deer in North Haven?Q17.Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans?Q18.What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix?六级短文2原文And now, if you'll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we're going to see isthe room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionallyentertain heads of state and royalty.However, they managed to keep this room friendly andintimate.And I think you'll agree.It has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike somegrandhouses you visit.The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lakeand 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, whichwould add to the relaxed atmosphere.The table dates from the 18th century and is made fromSpanish oak.It's rather remarkable for the fact that although it's extremely big, it'ssupported by just six rather slim legs.However, it seems to have survived like that for 200years.So it's probably going to last a bit longer.The chairs which go with the table are not acomplete set.There were originally six of them.They are interesting for the fact that they arevery plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and noarmrests.I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people wereused to more discomfort in the past.And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to follow meinto th e great hall…Q19.What do we learn about the speaker?Q20.What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting?Q21.What is said about the oval table in the room?Q22.What does the speaker say about the chairs?六级短文3原文Janet James was 22 years old when she was diagnosed with MS—a disease that attacks thebody's nerves.She has just graduated from college and got a job at an advertising agencywhen she began to sense that something strange was going on inside her body.When Jamesrealized how severe her illness was, she knew she had better hurry up and live life.MS is thebiggest cripplerof young adults.And although she didn't havemany symptoms, she knew it wasjust a matter of time.First on her agenda was to pursue her dream of hosting a pop musicprogramme.She worked at a radio station for a year, always aware that her body wasdegenerating.Then her best friend moved away.And one night James began screaming, “I gotto go!I got to go!” Two weeks later, she arrived at Alaska, thousands of miles from her friends,her family and her past.“Everything fell into a place”, she recalls.A 23-year-old girl with anincurable disease can fly to Alaska and everything can work out.The MS attacks came and went.And most of the time they hardly slowed her down.James hiked, fished, learnt to sail andexperimented with hot air ballooning.“I lived for adventure”, she says.“Nobody ever had abetter time or did more exotic strange things than I did in an 80-year period.” Inevitablyhowever, the day came when she was so weakened that she had to return to Pittsburgh, herhome town.There she began relieving her adventures by writing a book about them.Her bookwas published in 1993.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Questions 23What does the speaker say about MS?Questions 24What did Janet James decide to do after her disease was diagnosed?Questions 25What's sort of person can we infer Janet James is?the ecological mix? It’s difficult to estimate the number ofyoungsters involved in home schooling wherechildren are not sent to school and receive theirformal education from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have made it legallypossible in most states for parents to educate theirchildrenat home and each year more people takeadvantage of that opportunity.Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards, andmany require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receivinginstruction in state approved curriculum.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient thanmass public education.Moreover they site several advantages: alleviation of schoolovercrowding, strengthen family relationships, lower dropout rates, the facts that students areallowed to learn at their own rate, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, andreduced discipline problems.Critics of the home schooling movement content that it creates as many problems as itsolves.They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educationalopportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can providesuch educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children from the schools infavor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formaltraining to provide a satisfactory education for their children.Typically, parents have fewertechnological resources at their disposal than do schools.However, the relatively inexpensivecomputer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notionthat home schooling is in any way inferior to more highly structured classroom education.1.答案：D)Their hard work has resulted in a bigsuccess.2.答案：B)Join a package tour to Mexico.3.答案：B)In case some problem should occur.4.答案：C)The man can try out the facilitiesbefore he becomes a member.5.答案：A)He is not fit to study science.6.答案：C)Pay for part of the picnic food.7.答案：A)A labor dispute at a bus company.8.答案：D)The payment for。

2017年12月大学英语六级真题及答案解析(全三套)精选全文完整版
精选全文完整版2017年12月大学英语六级真题及答案解析（全三套）六级听力第一套：Section AConversation 1M: And now, for the lighter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste.W: That’s right John. This week the Italian government pass legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New laws have been put into place that would make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who are in need.M: Yes. And in addition to this, businesses would now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste.W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, the European Parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste.M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations.W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United States, up to forty percent of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government.M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a spokesperson from Harvard University’s Food Law and Policy Clinic for more on the story. And now, let’s welcome Prof. Edward Becker to speak to us.Q1: What does the woman say about the new laws in Italy?Q2: What did the European Parliament do reduce food waste?Q3: What has the French government done recently?Q4: What is the major cause of food waste in the United States?Q1. C) They facilitate the donation of unsold foods to the needy.Q2. B) It passed a law aiming to stop overproduction.Q3. D) It has banned supermarkets from dumping edible foods.Q4. A) The confusion over food expiration labels.Conversation 2M: Thank you for calling Saks Fifth Avenue department store. How can I be of assistance to you today?W: Hello. I was in your store this past weekend and bought a few items. Yesterday, my friend told me that the annual anniversary sales had begun. It turned out she bought the same sweater as I did but for a much lower price.M: Yes. Our anniversary sale started on Monday. We do offer price adjustments within seven days of purchase to ensure our customer satisfaction. You said you did the purchase here this past weekend?W: Yes. I was shopping in your store last Sunday afternoon.M: That would definitely fall within the price adjustment window. Do you have an account with us? We can credit your account directly with the difference if you wish. Otherwise we can send a gift card by mail if you prefer.W: Crediting my account would be wonderful. Thank you. Now that you mention there's a sale going on, I do remember a dress I quite like when I was in the shop on Sunday. Is it on offer as well?M: Yes, ma'am. All the new arrivals are 15-20% off. In addition to the sale, we're running a promotion for complimentary tailoring if you need it.W: That's a good news. The dress really caught my eye but I did have some concerns about the length. How long will the alterations take?M: Our tailoring department guarantees alterations to be completed within five working days. If you like I can set one aside for you. If you're able to come this afternoon, you can give your name to the sale manager and they will be able to assist you.Q5. What do we learn about Saks department store?Q6. What does the man say Saks department store offers?Q7. What does the woman want the store to do to address the price difference?Q8. What is the service Saks department store offers in addition to the promotional sale?Q5. B) It has just launched its annual anniversary sales.Q6. D) Price adjustments within seven days of purchase.Q7. C) Credit it to her account.Q8. D) Complimentary tailoring.Section BPassage 1Barbie dolls have a particular look to them. They’re thin, tall, long-legged and virtually unlike any real human being. Although over the years Barbie has had more than 180 differentcareers-including football coach, sign language teacher, ambassador, president and astronaut–her body shape hasn’t changed much.Last year Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls, added some Barbies to its line that have different skin tones and hair textures. There are now Barbies with one of seven skin tones, 22 eye colours and 24 hair styles to choose from. Last year Mattel also gave Barbie a flat foot, rather than forcing her to be “in heels” all the time like the original Barbie is.Now they are introducing new Barbies with three slightly different body shapes while the original, tall and thin Barbies will continue to be sold.In a statement on its website, the company says it wants Barbies to look more like real people, and to give girls everywhere infinitely more ways to spark their imagination and play out their stories.Although many people say the new Barbies are a step in the right direction, some people say they don’t go far enough. They say that the new body shapes could be even more different from the original, tall, thin Barbies.Sales of Barbie dolls have been falling “every year since 2012,” according to CBC News.The toys aren’t in stores yet but they will be sold online at the Barbie website, starting this week, for $9.99.Q9. What do we know about the original Barbie dolls?Q10. Why do some people feel unsatisfied with the new Barbie dolls?Q11. Where will the new Barbie dolls be sold first?Q9. A. They are thin, tall, and unlike real human beings.Q10. D. Their body shapes have not changed much.Q11. C. On the Internet.Passage 2The earliest printed book we know today appeared in China in the year 868, and metal type was in use in Korea at the beginning of the fifteenth century, but it was in Germany around the year 1450 that a printing press using movable metal type was invented.Capitalism turned printing from an invention into an industry. Right from the start, book printing and publishing were organized on capitalist lines. 'The biggest sixteenth- century printer, Plantin of Antwerp, had twenty-four printing presses and employed more than a hundred workers. Only a small fraction of the population was literate, but the production of books grew at an extraordinary speed. By 1500 some twenty million volumes had already been printed.The immediate effect of printing was to increase the circulation of works that were already popular in the handwritten form, while less popular works went out of circulation. Publishers were interested only in books that would sell fairly quickly in sufficient numbers to cover the costs of production and make a profit. Thus, while printing enormously increased access to books by making cheap, high-volume production possible, it also reduced choice.The great cultural impact of printing was that it facilitated the growth of national languages. Most early books were printed in Latin, but the market for Latin was limited, and in its pursuit of larger markets the book trade soon produced translations into the national languages emerging at the time. Printing indeed played a key role in standardizing and stabilizing these languages by fixing them in print, and producing dictionaries and grammar books.Q12. What happened in Germany around the year of 1450?Q13. What does the speaker say about the printer, Plantin of Antwerp?Q14. What was the immediate effect of printing?Q15. What was the great cultural impact of printing?Q12. A) Movable metal type began to be used in printing.Q13. B) It was the biggest printer in the 16th century.Q14. B) It boosted the circulation of popular works.Q15. D) It promoted the growth of national languages.Section CRecording OneYou dream about being a movie star. You live in a big house in Hollywood, go to the Oscars every year, and win. You will be rich and famous. Wait a minute. You also hate having your photos taken and you are very shy. So how could you ever become a movie star? Choosing a right career can be hard. Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what they want to do with their lives and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine. But others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate. Your working life lasts in average 40 years, so it’s important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about.Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this. The Australian website WWW. Careers online. com, compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. The site suggests you should do the same with your career. Find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best. If you are not a romantic person, you won’t want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. Finally, decide how to get movie tickets and find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work and how to get a job in that profession.So, how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions, certain life experiences. Have you travelled overseas? Do you have any extra certificates at your degree? Such as the first aid license, for example. Your physical state and build can also affect which jobsyou can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats will probably never become an animal doctor. Flight attendants, firefighters and police officers have to be over a certain height and be physically fit. Your personality matters too. Are you outgoing or shy? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of team work might not suit you.Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought. However, when you know you can look forward to working in your dream job, you will be glad you thought it through.16. What does the speaker say about many college graduates?17. What does the Australia website suggest you do first to find a suitable job?18. What should you think about when you look for the right job according to the Australian website?16.D) They choose a job without thinking it through.17.B) Find out what job choices are available.18.A) The qualifications you have.Recording 2Kwanzaa is a cultural festival, during which African-American celebrate and reflect upon their rich heritage as the products of the two worlds. It begins December 26th and last for seven days. Kwanzaa was founded in 1966 by Dr. Karenga, a college professor and African-American leader, who believed that a special holiday could help African Americans meet their goals of building strong families, learning about their history and creating a sense of unity.

While the candles is being lit, a principal is recited then each person present takes turn to speak about the importance that the principle has to himself or herself. Next, the ceremony focuses on remembering those who've died. A selected person pours water or juice from the unity cup into a bowl. That person then drinks from the cup and raises it high saying “her thanmbi”，which means that let’s all pour together. All repeat “her thanmbi” seven times and each person drinks from the cup . Then they and names of African American leaders and heroes a cold out to and everyone reflects upon the great things these people did.

Several noted nutritionists in research projects have concluded that this diet is one of the most healthful in the world in terms of preventing such illnesses as heart disease and cancer and increasing life expectancy.
