　　Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　11.

　　M: I left 20 pages here to copy. Here is the receipt.

　　W: Im sorry, sir. But were a little behind. Could you come back in a few minutes?

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　答案：C. She has not got the mans copies ready.

　　解析：本题考的是文化场景，出现了copy 等词，还是比较基础的。原文中男生想出示收据来拿复印材料，然后女生说 were a little behind. 意思就是还没复印好。

　　12.

　　W: I hope youre not too put out with me for the delay. I have to stop by friends home to pick up a book on my way here.

　　M: Well, thats not a big deal. But you might at least phone if you know youre going to keep someone waiting.

　　Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

　　答案：B. She was late for the appointment.

　　解析：生活类场景题。注意对be put out with sb的理解;文中女生首先对自己的迟到表示歉意并解释原因;男生说不是大问题，但是你至少得打个电话给我。因此，我们知道女生迟到了。

　　13.

　　W: Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student union, isnt he?

　　M: Well, that guy wont be able to win the election unless he gets some majority vote from women students. And Im not sure about that.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　答案：C. It wont be easy for Mark to win the election.

　　解析：对话属于学习类场景，出现了majority , student union,和 candidate等相关词汇。考点在于对话中的肯定与否定类，即前面一个人提出观点，后面一个人采取取非的态度;文中第一人说Mark是学生会主席的不二人选，而第二人则说除非Mark获得了大多数女生的选票，否则是赢不了的，因此还不能确定。

　　14.

　　M: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam. Ive located your luggage.It was left behind in Paris and wont arrive until later this evening.

　　W: Oh, I cant believe this. Have it deliver to my hotel then , I guess.

　　Q: What happened to the womans luggage?

　　答案：A. It failed to arrive at its destination in time.

　　解析：考短对话常考场景，旅游场景，其中hotel , luggage 等单词可帮助学生直接定位;第一个人对旅客道歉说行李被落在巴黎了，要到深夜才能送到。旅客说这让让她难以置信，然后要求就把行李送到宾馆。由此可知，女士的行李还没有到达目的地。

　　15.

　　W: I dont think we have enough information for our presentation, but we have to give it tomorrow. There doesnt seem to be much we can do about it.

　　M: Yeah, at this point we ll have to make do with what weve got.

　　Q: What does the man suggest they do?

　　答案：A. Just make use of whatever information is available.

　　解析：关键词presentation, 为校园场景。考点为第二人建议题，at this point, well have to do明确表示建议，将建议后的内容听出来就可以了。这里we ll have to make do with what weve got.意思是我们要善加利用手上已有的东西。

　　16.

　　M: I am taking this great course-Psychology of Language, its really interesting. Since you are a psychology major, you should sign up for it.

　　W: Actually I tried to do that, but they told me I have to take language studies first.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　答案：D. The woman isnt qualified to take the course the man mentioned.

　　解析：关键词course，为校园场景。16题为典型的第二人but转折后出考题，音频中出现的psychology其实不需要知道意思，前面已经有course来解释了。这和六级一贯的难词前后有对其的解释的原则一致，并且psychology是六级学生应该掌握的词汇。 文中男生向女生推荐语言心理学这门课，女生说她有尝试报名，但是在参加课程前得先进行语言学习，因此推出，女生还没有资格参加该课程。

　　17.

　　W: Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate? No wonder they dont get along.

　　M: Well, maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said. There are two sides to every story you know.

　　Q: What does the man imply about Larry and his roommate?

　　答案：A. They are both to blame.

　　解析：17题为租房与住房类，出现了诸如roommate，get along等词汇。并且第二人用maybe给出建议，作为考点。女生首先提到Larry对室友的说话态度不好;然后男生提到有可能他的室友讲了些什么，Larry才会有如此反应。每件事都是有两面性的。因此双方可能都有责任。

　　18.

　　M: We dont have the resources to stop those people from buying us out unless a miracle happens. This may be the end of us.

　　W: I still have hope we can get help from the bank. After all we dont need that much money.

　　Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?

　　答案：A. They are in desperate need of financial assistance.

　　解析：18题为商务话题，关键词 resources，考题类型为观点态度类，答案出现在第二人woman回答处，出现不绝对模凌两可的词汇给出观点态度，此为本题考点。第一人话中讲到buy sb. out表示收购;对于这个词不认知问题不大，后面给出了提示，表明发生了问题。而第二人给出了建议。具体而言，第一人说情况很不乐观，第二人说还有希望，能向银行求助。由此可知，他们的经济状况不佳，急需帮助。

K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal.

　　Passage Two

　　Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country havent been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but shed also accepted a date with the most charming men shed ever met.

　　Really?, I responded, tell me about them.

　　Receptionist in an attorneys office and a welder at a construction site. She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughters date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of mens and womens work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.

　　Whos going to mow the lawn? I asked my husband this morning.

　　Oh, I will, he answered politely. Thats mens work.

　　What? Irritated, I raised my voice. Thats a ridiculous stereotype. Ill show you who can do the best job on the lawn.

　　The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.

　　答案：C) To show that women are capable of doing what men do.

　　Passage Three

　　Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every weekthe police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isnt much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. Therere also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night

　　Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year
