以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的大学英语六级听力长对话练习试题，希望能给大家带来帮助!Part III Listening ComprehensionConversation 1W: One of the most interesting experiments with dolphins must be one done by Doctor Jarvis Bastian. What he tried to do was to teach a male dolphin called Bass and a female called Doris to communicate with each other across a solid barrier.M: So how did he do it exactly?W: Well, first of all, he kept the two dolphins together in the same tank and taught them to press levers whenever they saw a light. The levers were fitted to the side of the tank next to each other. If the light flashed on and off several times, the dolphins were supposed to press the left-hand lever followed by the right-hand one. If the light was kept steady, the dolphins were supposed to press the levers in reverse order. Whenever they responded correctly, they were rewarded with fish.M: Sounds terribly complicated.W: Well, that was the first stage. In the second stage, Doctor Bastian separated the dolphins into two tanks. They could still hear one another, but they couldn’t actually see each other. The levers and light were set up in exactly the same way except that this time it was only Doris who could see the light indicating which lever to press first. But in order to get their fish, both dolphins had to press the levers in the correct order. This meant of course that Doris had to tell Bass whether it was a flashing light or whether it was a steady light.M: So did it work?W: Well, amazingly enough, the dolphins achieved a 100 % success rate.Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q19. What is the purpose of Doctor Jarvis Bastian’s experiment?Q20. What were the dolphins supposed to do when they saw a steady light?Q21. How did the second stage of the experiment differ from the first stage?Conversation 2W: This week’s program Up Your Street takes you to Harrogate, a small town in Yorkshire. Harrogate became a fashionable resort during Victorian times, when people came to take a bath in the mineral waters. Today, few people come to visit the town for its mineral waters. Instead, Harrogate has become a popular town for people to retire to. Its clean air, attractive parks, and the absence of any industry, make this an ideal spot for people looking for a quiet life. Now, to tell us more about Harrogate, I have with me Tom Percival, President of the Chamber of Commerce. Tom, one of the things visitor notices about Harrogate is the large area of open park land right down into the middle of the town. Can you tell us more about it?M: Yes, certainly. The area is called the Stray.W: Why the Stray?M: It’s called that because in the old days, people let their cattles stray on the area, which was common land.W: Oh, I see.M: Then, we’ve changes in farming and in land ownership.The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate.W: And is it protected?M: Oh, yes, indeed. As a special law, no one can build an ything on the stray. It’s protected forever.W: So it will always be park land?M: That’s right. As you can see, some of the Stray is used for sports fields.W: I believe it looks lovely in the spring.M: Yes, it does. There’re spring flowers on the old tr ees, and people visit the town just to see the flowers.Question 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q22. Where does this conversation most probably take place?Q23. What do we learn about modern Harrogate?Q24. What does the man say about the area called the Stray?Q25. What attracts people most in the Stray during the spring time?。

2023年12月六级英语听力原文完整版

听力原文Section A短对话（11~18）11W： This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. It’s located in a quiet building and it’s close to bus lines.M： That maybe true. But look at it，it’s awful， the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.Q： What can we infer from the conversation？12M： The pictures we took at the botanical garden should be ready tomorrow.W：I can’t wait to see them，I’m wondering if the shots I took are as good as I thought.Q： What is the woman eager to know？13W： The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday？M： Let me see，I need to find a handle that matches but that shouldn’t take too long.Q： What does the man mean？14M：This truck looks like what I need but I’m worried about maintenance. For us it’ll have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures.W： We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them？Q： What do we learn about the man from the conversation？15M： I think your boss would be very upset when he gets your letter of resignation.W： That may be so. But in the letter， I just told him frankly I could no longer live with his poor management and stupid decisions.Q： What do we learn about the woman？16W I’d like to exchange the shirt. I’ve learned that the person bought it for allergic to wool.M Maybe we can find something in cotton or silk. Please come this way.Q；What does the women want to do？17M： Excuse me， Miss？Did anyone happen to turn in a new handbag？ You know，it’s a birthday gift for my wife.W： Let me see. Oh，we’ve got quite a lot of women’s bags here. Can you give me more detailed information， such as the color， the size and the trademark？Q： Where does this conversation most probably take place？18M What are you going to do with the old house you are in heritage from your grandfather？W I once intended to sell it， but now，I’m thinking of turning it into a guest house，because it‘s still a solid structure.Q： What does the man plan to do with his old house？长对话（19~25）W： When you write a novel，do you know where you’re going， Dr. James？M： Yes， you must， really，if you’re writing the classical detective story， because it must be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have diagrams. It doesn’t mean to say that I always get it right， but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation， really， rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.W：When you’re planning the basic structure， do you like to go away to be sure that you’re by yourself？M： I need to be by myself certainly，absolutely. I can’t even bar e anybody else in the house. I don’t mind much where I am as long as I’ve got enough space to write， but I need to be completely alone.W： Is that very important to you？M： Oh，yes. I’ve never been lonely in all my life.W： How extraordinary！ Never？M： No， never.W：You’re very lucky. Someone once said that there’s a bit of ice at the heart of every writer.M： Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it，watch it happening. There is this ‘detachment’ and I realize th at there are obviously experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often， a writer can appear to stand aside， and this detachment makes people feel there’s a bit of ice in the heart.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What is the key to write a good classical detective story according to the man？20. What does the man mainly need when working on a book？21. What does the man say about writers？W： There is an element there about competition then，isn’t there？ Because British railways are a nationalized industry. There’s only one railway system in the country. If you don’t like a particular kind of big beans，you can go and buy another. But if you don’t like a particular railway，you can’t go and use another.M：Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn’t have monopoly，you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do. Well，I don’t think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946， when the Transport Act came in， we were nationalized.W：Do you think that’s a good thing？ Has it been a good thing for the railways， do you think， to be nationalized？M： Oh I think so， yes. Because in general，modes of transport are all around. Let’s face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that.W： So what are you saying then？ Is it if the railways happen being nationalized， they would simply have disappeared？M： Oh，I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er， the French railways lose 1 billion ponds a year. The German railways， 2 billion ponds a year. But you see，those governments are preparing to pour money into the transport system to keep it going.W： So in a sense， you cope between two extremes. On the one hand，you’re trying not to lose too much money. And on the other hand，you’ve got to provide the best service.M： Yes， you are right.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does the woman say about British railways？23. What do some people who write to the man complain about？24. What does the man say threatens the existence of railways？25. What does the man say about railways in other countries？Section BPassage OneAmong global warming’s most frightening thr eats is the prediction is that the polar ice-caps will melt， raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded. Scientists agree that key player in this scenario is the West Antarctic ice sheet，a Brazil-size mass of frozen water that is much as 7000 feet thick. Unlike floating ice shelves which have little impact on sea level when they break up， the ice sheet is anchored to bedrock will blow the sea surface. Surrounded by open ocean， it is also vulnerable， but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is. Now， new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years， a period when global temperatures probably were not significantly higher than they are today. And the ice sheet was assumed to have been stable. In geological time， a million years is recent history. The proof， which was published last week in Science， comes from a team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and California Institute of Technology who drew deep holes near the edge of ice sheet. Within samples collected from the solid substances lying beneath the ice. They found fossils of microscopic marine plants which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice. As Herman Engleheart， a co-author from the California Institute of Technology says，‘the West Antarctic ice sheet disappear once and can disappear again.’26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage？27. What did scientists disagree on？28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet？29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest？Passage TwoIt‘s always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself.Try this： Take a photo and upload it to Facebook， then after a day or so， note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are： It will.Facebook isn’t alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don‘t immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general， photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.Why do “deleted” photos stick around so long？ The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites： While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file， large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It’s a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices，usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service at the same time. B ut because changes aren‘t reflected across the content delivery networks immediately， ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.In the case of Facebook， the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused， which is usual ly “after a short period of time”， though obviously that time can vary considerably.30. What does the speaker ask us to try out？31. What accounts for the failure of some websites to remove photos immediately？32. When will the unwanted data eventually disappear from Facebook according to the company？Passage ThreeEnjoying an iced coffee？ Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards， with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner.The World Cancer Research Fund （WCRF） conducted a survey of iced coffees sold by some popular chains in Britain including Starbucks， Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee to gauge the calories as studies increasingly link obesity with cancer.The worst offender - a coffee from Starbucks -- had 561 calories. Other iced coffees contained more than 450 calories and the majority had an excess of 200.Health experts advise that the average woman should consume about 2，000 calories a day and a man about 2，500 calories to maintain a healthy weight. Dieters aim for 1，000 to 1，500 calories a day.“The fact that there is an iced coffee on the market with over a quarter of a woman’s daily calories allowance is alarming，” Dr Rachel Thompson， science programme manager at London-based WCRF， said in a widely-reported statement.“This is the amount of calories you might expect to have in an evening meal， not in a drink.”The WCRF has estimated that 19，000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented if people lost their excess weight with growing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of various cancers.“If you are having these types of coffee regularly then they will increase the chances of you becoming overweight， which in turn increases your risk of developing cancer， as well as other diseases such as heart disease.” she added.33. What warning did some health experts give？34. What does the author suggest people do after they have an iced coffee？35. What could British people expect if they maintain a normal body weight according to the WCRF？Section CPsychologists are finding that hope plays a surprisingly vital role in giving people a measurable advantage in rounds as diverse as academic achievement， bearing up in tough jobs， and coping with tragic illness. And， by contrast， the loss of hope， is turning out to be a stronger sign that a person may commit suicide than other factors long thought to be more likely risks. ‘Hope has proven a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we‘ve done so far，’ said Doctor Charles R. Snyder， a psychologist， who has devised a scale to assess how much hope a person has. For example， in research with 3920 college students， Doctor Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester was a more accurate predictor of their college grades， than were their SAT scores or their grade point averages in high school， the two measures most commonly used to predict college performance. ‘Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them，’ Doctor Snyder said. ‘When you compare students of equivalent intelligence and past academic achievements，what sets them apart is hope.’ In devising a way to assess hope scientifically， Doctor Snyder went beyond the simple notion that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. ‘That notion is not concrete enough and it blurs two key components of hope，’ Doctor Snyder said，‘Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals， whatever they may be.’。

英语六级听力真题长对话篇1Conversation OneM: So how long have you been a Market Research Consultant?W: Well, I started straight after finishing university.M: Did you study market research?W: Yeah, and it really helped me to get into the industry, but I have to say that it's more important to get experience in different types of market research to find out exactly what you're interested in.M: So what are you interested in?W: Well, at the moment, I specialize in quantitative advertising research, which means that I do two types of projects. Trackers, which are ongoing projects that look at trends or customer satisfaction over a long period of time. The only problem with trackers is that it takes up a lot of your time. But you do build up a good relationship with the client. I also do a couple of ad-hoc jobs which are much shorter projects.M: What exactly do you mean by ad-hoc jobs?W: It's basically when companies need quick answers to their questions about their consumers' habits. They just ask for one questionnaire to be sent out for example, so the time you spend on an ad-hoc project tends to be fairly short.M: Which do you prefer, trackers or ad-hoc?W: I like doing both and in fact I need to do both at the sametime to keep me from going crazy. I need the variety.M: Can you just explain what process you go through with a new client?W: Well, together we decide on the methodology and the objectives of the research. I then design a questionnaire. Once the interviewers have been briefed, I send the client a schedule and then they get back to me with deadlines. Once the final charts and tables are ready, I have to check them and organize a presentation.M: Hmm, one last question, what do you like and dislike about your job?W: As I said, variety is important and as for what I don't like, it has to be the checking of charts and tables.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1: What position does the woman hold in the company?Q2: What does the woman specialize in at the moment?Q3: What does the woman say about trackers?Q4: What does the woman dislike about her job?Conversation TwoW: Hello, I'm here with Frederick. Now Fred, you went to university in Canada?M: Yeah, that's right.W: OK, and you have very strong views about universities in Canada. Could you please explain?M: Well, we don't have private universities in Canada. They’re all public. All the universities are owned by the government, so there is the Ministry of Education in charge of creating the curriculum for the universities and so there is not much room for flexibility. Since it's a government operatedinstitution, things don't move very fast. If you want something to be done, then their staff do not have so much incentive to help you because he's a worker for the government. So I don't think it's very efficient. However, there are certain advantages of public universities, such as the fees being free. You don't have to pay for your education. But the system isn't efficient, and it does not work that well.W: Yeah, I can see your point, but in the United States we have many private universities, and I think they are large bureaucracies also. Maybe people don't act that much differently, because it’s the same thing working for a private university. They get paid for their job. I don’t know if they're that much more motivated to help people. Also, we have a problem in the United States that usually only wealthy kids go to the best schools and it's kind of a problem actually.M: I agree with you. I think it's a problem because you're not giving equal access to education to everybody. It’s no t easy, but having only public universities also might not be the best solution. Perhaps we can learn from Japan where they have a system of private and public universities. Now, in Japan, public universities are considered to be the best.W: Right. It's the exact opposite in the United States.M: So, as you see, it's very hard to say which one is better.W: Right, a good point.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5: What does the woman want Frederick to talk about?Q6: What does the man say about the curriculum in Canadian universities?Q7: On what point do the speakers agree?Q8: What point does the man make at the end of the conversation?英语六级听力真题长对话篇2Lecture 1The negative impacts of natural disasters can be seen everywhere. In just the past few weeks, the world has witnessed the destructive powers of earthquakes in Indonesia, typhoons in the Philippines, and the destructive sea waves that struck Samoa and neighboring islands.A study by the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters finds that, between 1980 and 2007, nearly 8,400 natural disasters killed more than two-million people. These catastrophic events caused more than $1.5 trillion in economic losses.U.N. weather expert Geoffrey Love says that is the bad news. "Over the last 50 years, economic losses have increased by a factor of 50. That sounds pretty terrible, but the loss of life has decreased by a factor of 10 simply because we are getting better at warning people. We are making a difference. Extreme events, however, will continue to occur. But, the message is that they may not be disasters."Love, who is director of Weather and Disaster Risk Reduction at the World Meteorological Organization, says most of the deaths and economic losses were caused by weather, climate, or water-related extremes. These include droughts, floods, windstorms, strong tropical winds and wildfires.He says extreme events will continue. But, he says extreme events become disasters only when people fail to prepare for them."Many of the remedies are well-known. From a planning perspective, it is pretty simple. Build better buildings. Don’tbuild where the hazards will destroy them. From an early-warning perspective, make sure the warnings go right down to the community level. Build community action plans. ”The World Meteorological Organization points to Cuba and Bangladesh as examples of countries that have successfully reduced the loss of life caused by natural disasters by taking preventive action.It says tropical cyclones formerly claimed dozens, if not hundreds of lives, each year, in Cuba. But, the development of an early-warning system has reversed that trend. In 2008, Cuba was hit by five successive hurricanes, but only seven people were killed.Bangladesh also has achieved substantial results. Major storm surges in 1970 and 1991 caused the deaths of about 440,000 people. Through careful preparation, the death toll from a super tropical storm in November 2007 was less than 3,500.Q16. What is the talk mainly about?Q17. How can we stop extreme events from turning into events?Q18. What does the example of Cuba serve to show?Lecture 2As U.S. banks recovered with the help of American government and the American taxpayers, president Obama held meetings with top bank execut ives, telling them it’s time to return the favor. “The way I see it are banks now having a greater obligation to the goal of a wide recovery,” he said. But the president may be giving the financial sector too much credit. “It was in a free fall, and it was a very scary period.” Economist Martin Neil Baily said. After the failure of Lehman Brothers, many of the world’s largest banks feared the worst as the collapse ofthe housing bubble exposed in investments in risky loans.Although he says the worst is just over, Bailey says the banking crisis is not. More than 130 US banks failed in 2009. He predicts high failure rates for smaller, regional banks in 2010 as commercial real estate loans come due."So there may actually be a worsening of credit availability to small and medium sized businesses in the next year or so."Analysts say the biggest problem is high unemployment, which weakens demand and makes banks reluctant to lend. But US Bankcorp chief Richard Davis sees the situation differently."We're probably more optimistic than the experts might be.With that in mind, we're putting everything we can, lending is the coal to our engine, so we want to make more loans. We have to find a way to qualify more people and not put ourselves at risk."While some economists predict continued recovery in the future, Baily says the only certainty is that banks are unlikely to make the same mistakes - twice. "You know, forecasting's become a very hazardous business so I don't want to commit myself too much. I don't think we know exactly what's going to happen but it's certainly possible that we could get very slow growth over the next year or two.”If the economy starts to shrink again, Baily says it would make a strong case for a second stimulus -- something the Obama administration hopes will not be necessary.Q19. What dose president Obama hope the banks will do?Q20. What is Martin Neil Baily’s prediction about the financial situation in the future?Q21. What does U.S. Bankcorp chief Richard Davis say about its future operation?Q22. What does Martin Neil Baily think of a second stimulus to the economy?英语六级听力真题长对话篇3Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

Of course, the conditions of work are very different: the Polytechnic is offering a two year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a years contract and thats a different minus. It could be renewed, but youll never know.W: I see. So its much less secure. But you dont need to think too much about steady jobs when youre only 23.M: Thats true.W: What about the salaries?M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short-term. Ill be getting equivalent about 22, 000 pounds a year there, but only 20, 000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But only hours are different. At the Polytechnic, Id have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration whereas the Pistoia School is only asking for 13 hours teaching.W: Um.M: Then the type of teaching is so different.W: The Polytechnics are all adults and mostly preparation for exams, like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories and a couple of childrens classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.。

I was responsible for overseeing about 30 employees. I did all of the orderings for the store and I kept track of the inventory。

M: What was the most difficult part of your job?W: Probably handling angry customers. We didn’t have them very often, but when we did, I need to make sure they were well taken good care of. After all, the customer is always right。

M: That’s how we feel here, too. How long did you work there?W: I was there for three and a half years. I left the company last month。

英语六级听力原文试卷一长对话【最新】

英语六级听力原文试卷一长对话Section AConversation oneM: Hey, I just read a great book about physics. I think you'd like it. It is called The Physics of the World.It is written by a scientist named Sylvia Mundus.W: Oh I read that book. It was great. The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics. I think it promises enrichment for any reader from those who know little about science to the career physicist.M: And it's refreshing to see a strong curious clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse and a field that has been traditionally dominated by men. I think she has to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotes about little known female scientists. You know, they were often victims of a generation firmly convinced that the women’s place was in the home.W: I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge. For example in one chapter, she exposes a myth that I’ve heard taught by university physics professors. I’ve often heard that medieval glass windows are thicker at the bottom because glass flows like fluid. This, she shows, is not true. The distortion is actually thanks to a peculiarity of the glassmakers’process.M: Yeah, I like how she cultivates scientific engagement by providing the host of Do It Yourself experiments that bring the same foundation of principles of classical physics that govern everything from the solar system to your kitchen table. From using complex laws of psychics to test whether a spinning egg is cooked, to measuring atmosphere pressure by lifting a piece of cardboard. Her hands-on examples make her book a truly interactive read.W: Yes, I must say this equation-free book is an ideal read for scientists of all stripes, anyone teaching science and even people who dislike psychics.Questions 1-4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1: What does the woman say about the book the man recommended?Q2: What can we find in the book the man recommended?Q3: How does the author bring her book to life?Q4: How does the book cultivate readers’interest in psychics?Conversation TwoM: Hi professor! I was hoping I could have a moment of your time, if you are not too busy. I'm having some problems getting started on my dissertation and I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to begin.W: Sure. I have quite a few students though. So can you remind me what your topic is?M: The general topic I chose is aesthetics. But that's as far as I've got. I don't really know where to go from there.W: Yeah, that's much too large a topic. You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible, otherwise you will be writing a book.M: Exactly. That's what I wanted to ask you about. I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics. I'm really more interested in nature than beauty.W: I'm afraid you have to adhere to the assigned topic. Still, if you are interested in nature, then that certainly can be worked into your dissertation. We've talked about Hume before in class right?M: Oh yeah. He's the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from.W: Exactly. I suggest you go to the library and get a copy of his biography. Start from there. But remember to stick to the parameters of the assignment. This paper is a large part of your accumulative grade, so make sure to follow the instructions. If you take a look at his biography, you can get a good idea of how his life experiences manifest themselves in his theories of beauty, specifically, the way he looked towards nature as the origin of what we find beautiful.M: Great! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, professor. I'll let you get back to class now.W: If there is anything else you need, please come see me in my office anytime.Questions 5-8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5: What is the man's problem?Q6: What does the professor think of the man's topic?Q7: What is the man really more interested in?Q8: What does the professor say the man has to do?。

2019年大学英语六级听力之长对话技巧(三)

2019年大学英语六级听力之长对话技巧(三)考试时拿到手里的只有四个选项，所以第一步我们要学会通过选项去推测问题，这样方便我们使用视听基本一致原则且协助定位;在听的时候要注意标记，选项被绝大部分读到、少部分替换即优选，该原则用于长对话是非常有效的。

接下来以2019年12月第一套试题中的长对话为例实行分析。

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. A)Some witnesses failed to appear in court.B)The case caused debate among the public.C)The accused was found guilty of stealing.D)The accused refused to plead guilty in court.浏览各选项，发现有证人、法庭、案件、犯罪、被告等词汇，所以能够联想到谈论的应该是一个和案件相关的事情。

很难去推测出具体的问题，所以采用长对话的杀手锏--视听一致原则，听到就选。

答案：在第一个人话语中，他说到“ I heard was of a man accused and found guilty of breaking into a house andstealing some money. ” 答案C是对于话语的提炼，但基本是原词的搬用。

还要注意出现在开头，上来就要认真听。

问题是 What did the judge say about the case he recently heard? 就是对于案件的一个描述，和之前的猜测也是相当吻合的。

10. A)He was out of his mind.B)He was unemployed.C)His wife deserted him.D)His children were sick.四个选项是关于he的，他疯了、失业了、被妻子遗弃、孩子病了，都是消极方面的事情，所以可见he很可能就是被告。

大学英语六级考试一本全[字幕版] 听力练习第3课[00:01.41]Test 3[00:05.23]Section A[00:06.76]Directions: In this section,[00:10.81]you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.[00:15.23]At the end of each conversation,[00:17.86]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.[00:21.47]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.[00:26.28]After each question there will be a pause.[00:29.56]During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),[00:36.34]and decide which is the best answer.[00:38.97]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2[00:44.00]with a single line through the centre.[00:46.51]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations. [00:51.21]1. M: Hey, Mary, some of us in the Outdoor Club aregoing camping this weekend.[00:58.22]If you are interested, you can come along, too! [01:01.29]W: I'd love it! But...not if you climb mountains, for I'm scared stiff of heights.[01:07.52]Q: What is the woman's reaction to the man's invitation?[01:26.33]2. W: You must have enjoyed using your new camera on your trip.[01:32.02]M: I would have, but I left it in the car with my friend who drove me to the airport.[01:37.27]Q: What does the man say about his camera?[01:55.53]3. M: Would you like to join us for a ride around the seaside?[02:01.33]W: What a pleasant way to spend a hot day![02:04.06]Q: What does the woman imply?[02:20.39]4. W: I'm going to the zoo to do some drawings of elephants today.[02:28.04]M: May I go with you? I have the same assignment. [02:31.33]Q: What do we learn about the man and the woman from the conversation?[02:50.20]5. W: I thought Paul might help me to figure out the computer program.[02:56.76]M: Paul is about the last person I'd ask if I were you.[03:01.14]Q: What does the man imply about Paul?[03:19.31]6. M: Martin certainly shows great enthusiasm for the tennis course.[03:25.00]W: If only he showed as much for his studies. [03:28.72]Q: What does the woman imply about Martin?[03:47.52]7. W: This TV set is not working properly. I suppose we should buy a new one,[03:54.74]but I don't see how we can afford it right now. [03:57.81]M: If only we hadn't bought the car.[04:00.32]Q: Why didn't they buy another TV set?[04:19.44]8. W: Hey, John, do you want to come shopping with me?[04:24.03]My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.[04:28.73]M: That sounds just like you. Can't you save a few pennies for a rainy day?[04:34.52]Q: What do we know about the woman?[04:52.19]Now you'll hear two long conversations.[04:55.45]Conversation One[04:57.09]W: Mr. Kim. Lots of people are suffering from beingunable to sleep, including me.[05:03.58]M: Well, you must be feeling bad, twisting around, [05:06.75]trying to find a comfortable position, but you're probably only making matters worse.[05:12.00]W: Really, I thought changing positions would help. [05:15.83]M: That's not right. What happens is that your heart rate actually increases,[05:20.39]making it more difficult to relax.[05:22.36]You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem.[05:26.74]W: Really? Like what?[05:28.48]M: Do you rest frequently during the day? Do you get virtually no exercise,[05:33.40]or do you exercise too much late in the day? [05:36.47]Do you think about sleep a lot or sleep late on weekends?[05:40.52]W: You're talking about me! I'm leading a life like that.[05:44.56]I guess lots of people do like this.[05:47.40]M: Haha! Any of these facts might be leading to your insomnia[05:51.89]by disrupting your body's natural rhythm.[05:54.29]W: What should we do then on those sleepless nights? [05:57.79]Should we take some sleeping pills?[05:59.76]M: Don't bother with sleeping pills;[06:01.84]they can actually cause worse insomnia later. [06:04.69]W: I thought sleeping pills would help.[06:07.09]What're your suggestions for our audiences? [06:10.15]M: The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish.[06:14.86]They are all rich in amino acid that helps produce a substance in the brain that induces sleep.[06:21.20]This substance will help you relax.[06:23.72]And you'll be on the way to get a good night's sleep. [06:27.54]W: I'm so excited to hear all this.[06:30.17]I guess many of us will change our way of life since they have listened to their talk.[06:35.51]M: Your sleeping will become better and better if you insist.[06:39.23]W: I'm sure I will! Thank you much for your advice and thanks for joining us this evening![06:45.17]M: It's my pleasure.[06:46.38]Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation youhave just heard.[06:51.40]9. Where is the talk most probably being given? [07:10.35]10. According to the speaker, what happens when you turn and twist to get comfortable?[07:32.42]11. According to the speaker, what sometimes causes people to have trouble sleeping?[07:54.22]12. What does the speaker say about sleeping pills? [08:13.69]Conversation Two[08:15.08]W: Hi, morning! What's up?[08:17.48]M: Nice to see you on way to work.[08:19.89]W: I just read a curious fact.[08:22.41]M: What is it? I like curious things.[08:25.08]W: Did you know that people who spend less than ten minutes[08:28.47]in a gift shop are five times more likely to make a purchase[08:32.19]than those who spend half an hour there?[08:34.59]M: Was it an article in the Morning News?[08:37.22]I saw it, too. But think, if someone runs into a gift shop for ten minutes,[08:42.47]it's usually to make a specific purchase. That's why they would just spend a short period of time.[08:48.05]W: And someone who spends more time there maybe just looking.[08:51.88]M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking[08:55.71]that you'd buy something, and then talk yourself out of it?[08:58.77]W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere,[09:03.47]or I really didn't need it after all.[09:06.09]M: Exactly. But if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time,[09:11.24]you pick it up, pay for it immediately and then leave. [09:14.19]W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that.[09:17.58]Take your time and you'll spend less money. We always have to budget our money well.[09:23.16]M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores, though. [09:26.45]In a department store, for instance,[09:28.52]you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy[09:31.81]and buy it because you have time to look around. [09:34.87]W: That's sometimes true. Every theory has itsconditions![09:39.35]M: Yes, you're right. Here we are! The office is nice and warm.[09:43.84]W: I'll see you soon. Have a nice day![09:46.36]Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.[09:52.26]13. What is the main topic of the conversation? [10:12.51]14. What fact have the man and woman learned about the gift shops?[10:33.17]15. What does the man say about people who shop quickly?[10:53.35]Section B[10:54.96]Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages.[11:00.87]At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.[11:05.46]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.[11:10.60]After you hear a question,[11:13.22]you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).[11:20.12]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.[11:26.46]Passage One[11:28.10]Despite its enormous size the Airbus A380 still manages to look graceful.[11:35.32]The double-decker plane that can carry over 550 passengers dwarfs all other commercial aircraft.[11:44.40]Later today one will land for the first time in the UK.[11:48.55]Wings are produced here in North Wales and traveled by land, river and sea for assembly in France.[11:57.08]Until now the Boeing 747 Jumbo was the world's biggest passenger plane, but no longer.[12:05.40]A380 is as high as an 8-storey building,[12:09.88]take-off thrust from the plane's four engines equals 2 500 family cars.[12:16.44]Without seats, it can contain 10 squash courts. [12:20.93]But the European Airbus will soon have an American rival,[12:25.96]Boeing's 787 Dream liner, which is smaller, [12:30.88]can fly further, and isn't restricted to large airports.[12:35.47]These aircrafts represent extraordinarytechnological breakthrough,[12:40.62]reducing fuel emissions by about 20%,[12:44.33]much better conditions inside the aircraft and offering[12:48.49]both airlines and passengers much greater flexibility in their long-hauled journeys.[12:54.72]A380 may offer shops and a casino or even a gym [12:59.86]so that its good-value seats will win the airline battle.[13:04.13]Critics of the new aircraft including environmentalists[13:09.38]say it might be more fuel efficient per passenger than other jets,[13:13.87]but the benefits we'll get from it are a drop in the ocean[13:17.91]compared to the huge climate emissions from aviation.[13:21.52]And aviation is the fastest growing source of climate-changing gases[13:27.10]both in Britain and worldwide.[13:29.72]Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.[13:34.64]16. Where is the Airbus A380 assembled?[13:55.32]17. What is the biggest passenger plane in the world? [14:14.28]18. What enables A380 to attract passengers and win the airline battle?[14:35.62]19. What do critics say about A380?[14:54.41]Passage Two[14:57.04]Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed,[15:02.61]influencing one's outlook for hours, days or even weeks.[15:06.66]That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, [15:09.72]but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.[15:15.63]Perhaps one of the best ways to deal with such moods is to talk them out:[15:21.10]sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern science offers an abundance of drugs.[15:27.77]But scientists have also discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches[15:33.79]to make you loose from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs,[15:39.70]and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous.[15:43.41]So the next time you feel out of sorts,[15:46.14]don't head for the drug store—try the following approach.[15:49.76]Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, [15:53.04]physical exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood.[15:57.85]“If you could keep up the exercise, you'd be in high spirits,” says Kathryn Lance,[16:04.84]author of Running for Health and Beauty.[16:07.80]There is obviously a link between physical activity and mood changes.[16:12.61]Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes[16:17.54]that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser.[16:22.68]Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little,[16:27.27]probably because it is not intensive enough, and people usually do it unwillingly.[16:33.61]The key is physical exercise-running, cycling, walking,[16:38.43]swimming or other repetitive and sustainedactivities that boost the heart rate,[16:44.44]increase circulation and improve the body's utilization of oxygen.[16:49.26]Do them for at least 20 minutes a session three to five times a week.[16:54.61]Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.[16:59.97]20. What is the problem of talking bad moods out? [17:18.43]21. What does the speaker prefer as a mood-raiser? [17:38.36]22. What does the speaker think of housework? [17:55.43]Passage Three[17:57.83]I'm sure almost every one of you looked at your watch or at a clock[18:02.43]before you came to class today.[18:04.18]Watches and clocks seem as much part of our life as breathing or eating.[18:10.08]And yet, do you know that watches and clocks [18:13.26]were very rare in the United States until the late 1850s.[18:17.95]In the late 1700s people didn't know the exact time unless they were near a clock.[18:23.64]Those delightful clocks in the squares of Europeantowns were built for the public.[18:29.44]After all, most citizens simply couldn't afford a personal clock.[18:34.03]Well, until the 1800s, in Europe and the United States,[18:38.41]the main purpose of a watch, which was on a gold chain, [18:42.78]was to show others how wealthy you were.[18:45.63]The word “watch” didn't even enter the English language until nearly 1900.[18:51.43]By then, the rapid pace of industrialization in the United States[18:55.80]meant that measuring time had become essential. [18:59.41]How could the factory worker get to work on time, [19:02.47]unless he or she knew exactly what time it was. [19:06.08]Since efficiency was now measured by how fast the job was done,[19:10.24]everyone was interested in time and pay attention to the importance of time.[19:16.25]And since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantities of goods,[19:21.94]watches became fairly inexpensive.[19:24.57]Furthermore, electric lights kept factories goingaround the clock.[19:28.94]Being “on time” had entered the language and life of every citizen.[19:34.30]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.[19:39.66]23. What is the topic discussed in this passage? [19:58.75]24. What was true of watches before the 1850s? [20:20.24]25. According to the speaker, why did some people wear watches in the 1800s?[20:41.81]Section C[20:43.31]Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.[20:48.89]When the passage is read for the first time, [20:51.84]you should listen carefully for its general idea. [20:55.12]When the passage is read for the second time, [20:58.54]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33[21:03.68]with the exact words you have just heard.[21:06.41]For blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information.[21:13.41]For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard[21:18.66]or write down the main points in your own words. [21:22.16]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, [21:26.76]you should check what you have written.[21:28.94]Now listen to the passage.[21:31.79]Health costs have been rising for middle class families.[21:35.99]Nearly one in five Americans cannot afford health insurance.[21:40.37]Contrast that with health insurance companies in great financial shape.[21:45.30]United Health Group profits up 38 percent this quarter.[21:50.76]The company's CEO William is leaving with a reported 1.1-billion-dollar retirement pension.[21:58.31]Even he admitted reports of a stock option scandal. [22:02.03]The gap between the wealthy and the working is expanding.[22:06.07]And it has been the greatest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elite class[22:11.87]which we have ever seen in our history.[22:14.39]Corporations are handing out profits to theirshareholders[22:18.76]and pink slips to their American employees. [22:21.28]IBM reported a 47% jump in quarterly profits and layoffs of 400 US engineers.[22:30.03]The Dow Johns Index jumped above the 12 000 threshold for the first time.[22:35.61]But for middle class workers, job growth is slow, [22:40.09]the housing market cooling and paychecks shrinking. [22:44.13]We've always viewed ourselves as a country[22:46.98]that provides upward mobility to everyone who works hard and that,[22:51.57]in America, you can achieve the middle class dream, if you do so.[22:55.95]And right now the middle class is not doing very well. [22:59.99]Higher earnings for the corporate class,[23:02.73]less security for the middle class. According to the AFL-CIO,[23:08.20]the average CEO, not the CEO at the top,[23:13.12]but the average chief executive officer makes 431 times[23:19.03]the salary of a medium worker in the United States. [23:22.52]Now the passage will be read again.[23:26.46]Health costs have been rising for middle class families.[23:31.06]Nearly one in five Americans cannot afford health insurance.[23:35.00]Contrast that with health insurance companies in great financial shape.[23:40.13]United Health Group profits up 38 percent this quarter.[23:45.93]The company's CEO William is leaving with a reported 1.1-billion-dollar retirement pension.[23:53.26]Even he admitted reports of a stock option scandal. [23:57.09]The gap between the wealthy and the working is expanding.[24:01.23]And it has been the greatest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elite class[24:06.81]which we have ever seen in our history.[24:09.33]Corporations are handing out profits to their shareholders[24:13.49]and pink slips to their American employees. [24:16.65]IBM reported a 47% jump in quarterly profits and layoffs of 400 US engineers.[24:24.97]The Dow Johns Index jumped above the 12 000 thresholdfor the first time.[24:30.98]But for middle class workers, job growth is slow, [24:35.14]the housing market cooling and paychecks shrinking. [25:48.36]We've always viewed ourselves as a country[25:50.94]that provides upward mobility to everyone who works hard and that,[25:55.97]in America, you can achieve the middle class dream, if you do so.[26:00.23]And right now the middle class is not doing very well. [26:04.40]Higher earnings for the corporate class,[26:07.02]less security for the middle class.[27:19.36]According to the AFL-CIO,[27:21.98]the average CEO, not the CEO at the top,[27:26.68]but the average chief executive officer makes 431 times[27:32.80]the salary of a medium worker in the United States. [28:45.36]Now the passage will be read for the third time. [28:48.64]Health costs have been rising for middle class families.[28:53.79]Nearly one in five Americans cannot afford health insurance.[28:57.83]Contrast that with health insurance companies ingreat financial shape.[29:02.97]United Health Group profits up 38 percent this quarter.[29:08.55]The company's CEO William is leaving with a reported 1.1-billion-dollar retirement pension.[29:15.98]Even he admitted reports of a stock option scandal.

大学英语六级听力长对话专项强化真题试卷3(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语六级听力长对话专项强化真题试卷3(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.听力原文：M: 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 passed 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 will 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 Sates, up to 40% 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 lawmakers 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 Professor Edward Baker to speak to us.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What does the woman say about the new laws in Italy?2. What did the European Parliament do to reduce food waste?3. What has the French government done recently?4. What is the major cause of food waste in the United States?1．A．They reward businesses that eliminate food waste.B．They prohibit the sale of foods that have gone stale.C．They facilitate the donation of unsold foods to the needy.D．They forbid businesses to produce more foods than needed.正确答案：C解析：对话中女士指出，这周意大利政府通过了旨在大幅减少该国食物浪费的法律。
