大学英语六级改革适用(听力)模拟试卷335(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语六级改革适用（听力）模拟试卷335(题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 2. Listening ComprehensionPart II Listening ComprehensionSection CI’m interested in the criminal【B1】______system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done, if we’re to【B2】______as a country. I certainly don’t know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly【B3】______in a hurry when you get into them, but I wonder if something couldn’t be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I’m concerned about is our practice of putting 【B4】______in jail who haven’t harmed anyone. Why not work out some system whereby they can【B5】______the debts they owe society instead of【B6】______another debt by going to prison and, of course, coming under the【B7】______of hardened criminals. I’m also concerned about the short prison sentences people are serving for serious crimes. Of course one alternative to this is to【B8】______capital punishment, but I’m not sure I would be for that. I’m not sure it’s right to take an eye for an eye. The alternative to capital punishment is longer sentences, but they would certainly cost the tax payers much money. I also think we must do something about the insanity plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person’s life intentionally is【B9】______: however, that does not mean that the person isn’t 【B10】______of the crime, or that he shouldn’t pay society the debt he owes. It’s sad, of course, that a person may have to spend the rest of his life, or a large part of it in prison for acts that he committed while not in full control of his mind.1．【B1】正确答案：justice 涉及知识点：讲座2．【B2】正确答案：survive 涉及知识点：讲座3．【B3】正确答案：get complicated 涉及知识点：讲座4．【B4】正确答案：offenders 涉及知识点：讲座5．【B5】正确答案：pay back 涉及知识点：讲座6．【B6】正确答案：incurring 涉及知识点：讲座7．【B7】正确答案：influence 涉及知识点：讲座8．【B8】正确答案：restore 涉及知识点：讲座9．【B9】正确答案：insane 涉及知识点：讲座10．【B10】正确答案：guilty 涉及知识点：讲座If you’re like most people, you’ve【B1】______fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit in the third row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away,【B2】______in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth: the instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you【B3】______copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a witty remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely, pretending that you’ve heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You have a【B4】______sense of guilt that you aren’t paying close attention, but you tell yourself that any material you miss can【B5】______from a friend’s notes. Besides, the instructor’s talking about road construction in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more boring. So back you go into your【B6】______little world. Only later do you realize you’ve missed important information for a test. Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers【B7】______facial cues and can tell if you’re 【B8】______pretending to listen. Your blank expression and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that【B9】______your inattentiveness. Even if you’re not exposed, there’s another reason to avoid fakery: it’s easy for this【B10】______to become a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they automatically start daydreaming when a speaker begins talking on something complex or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots of valuable information.11．【B1】正确答案：indulged in 涉及知识点：讲座12．【B2】正确答案：floating 涉及知识点：讲座13．【B3】正确答案：dutifully 涉及知识点：讲座14．【B4】正确答案：vague 涉及知识点：讲座15．【B5】正确答案：be picked up 涉及知识点：讲座16．【B6】正确答案：private 涉及知识点：讲座17．【B7】正确答案：are sensitive to 涉及知识点：讲座18．【B8】正确答案：merely 涉及知识点：讲座19．【B9】正确答案：betray 涉及知识点：讲座20．【B10】正确答案：behavior 涉及知识点：讲座So we’ve already talked a bit about the【B1】______of extreme sports like rock-climbing. As psychologists, we need to ask ourselves: Why is this person doingthis? Why do people take these risks and put themselves【B2】______when they don’t have to? One common trait among【B3】______is that they enjoy strong feelings or sensations. We call this trait sensation-seeking. A sensation-seeker is someone who’s always【B4】______new sensations. What else do we know about sensation-seekers? Well, as I said, sensation-seekers like strong emotions. You can see this trait in many parts of a person’s life, not just in extreme sports. For example, many sensation-seekers enjoy hard rock music. They like the loud sound and strong emotion of the songs.【B5】______, sensation-seekers enjoy【B6】______horror movies. They like the feeling of being【B7】______and horrified while watching the movie. This feeling is even stronger for extreme sports when the person faces real danger. Sensation-seekers feel the danger is very exciting. In addition, sensation-seekers like new experiences that force them to push their personal limits. For them,【B8】______the same things every day is boring. Many sensation-seekers choose jobs that 【B9】______risk, such as starting a new business or being an emergency room doctor. These jobs are different every day, so they never know what will happen. That’s why many sensation-seekers also like extreme sports. When you do rock-climbing, you never know what will happen. The【B10】______is always new and different.21．【B1】正确答案：growth 涉及知识点：讲座22．【B2】正确答案：in danger 涉及知识点：讲座23．【B3】正确答案：risk-takers 涉及知识点：讲座24．【B4】正确答案：looking for 涉及知识点：讲座25．【B5】正确答案：Similarly 涉及知识点：讲座26．【B6】正确答案：frightening 涉及知识点：讲座27．【B7】正确答案：scared 涉及知识点：讲座28．【B8】正确答案：repeating 涉及知识点：讲座29．【B9】正确答案：involve 涉及知识点：讲座30．【B10】正确答案：activity 涉及知识点：讲座。

）Why, if I had to buy all the books on my suggested reading lists, I’d have to take out a bank loan!W: You could save some money if you bought used texts, you know.M: I suppose, but it’s hard for me to study from a text that’s been marked up. Tell me, if I don’t need some of these books, can I get a fullrefund?W: Sure, if the professor changes his mind about a book or if you drop a course, just return it and we’ll give you your money back —but only for the first three weeks of class.

Today, many people would like to live in such houses but most people can’t. (16) They don’t have enough money to buy them or even to make the first payment. So, many people rent from month to month. But some Americans really want to live in a house of their own. So they build their own home. (17) They buy a house that is situated in an area where houses are cheaper. It is better to reside in a bad part of town, they think, than not to live in a house at all. Or they buy an old house and redesign it. Then they decorate it with old style furniture. Sometimes they can make an old house look more beautiful than a new one. Usually, it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. (18) Many older people decide that they don’t need a big home after their children leave. So they sell their house and move into a comfortable apartment. But when people move into a house, they sometimes have problems. (19) Home owners have to do their own maintenance. For example, if the roof leaks, one can not ask the landlord to fix it. On the other hand, people can redesign their homes in any way they want without having to be afraid of being thrown out by the landlord.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. Why don’t many Americans live in large two and three story houses?17. Where do these Americans tend to live?18. Why is it easy to find old houses for sale?19. What problem will people have after they buy a house?9．A．Because they cant afford to.B．Because they think small houses are more comfortable to live in.C．Because big houses are usually built in the countryside.D．Because they prefer apartments.正确答案：A解析：有些美国人由于买不起，甚至付不起首付，不能住进两到三层的房子。
