2010年6月大學(xué)英語(yǔ)六級(jí)考試聽(tīng)力預(yù)測(cè)試卷(11)

　　14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?

　　M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.

　　Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是有關(guān)George和工作的關(guān)系，對(duì)工作的看法和態(tài)度，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于George和工作的。 George的工作現(xiàn)在做得不錯(cuò)(doing fine)。雖然他想過(guò)換工作(planned to change his job)，但是他決定保留現(xiàn)有的工作(keep the present one)。故正確答案為B)。

　　15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen's office.

　　M: Good morning. I'd like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I'd like to have it done this week if possible.

　　Q: Who is the woman?

　　【解析】C)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表示身份的詞，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于某人的身份。男士要和牙醫(yī)預(yù)約洗牙和檢查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可見(jiàn)，女士應(yīng)該是牙醫(yī)診所的接待員(receptionist)。故C)為正確答案。

　　16. M: Professor Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know he works till midnight every day.

　　W: I wouldn't have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是有關(guān)女士和教授之間的關(guān)系，由此可以推測(cè)，本問(wèn)題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于女士和教授的學(xué)習(xí)和工作的。男士說(shuō)教授這個(gè)學(xué)期很忙(very busy this semester)，每天工作到深夜(works till midnight every day)。女士回答說(shuō)如果早知道是這么忙就不會(huì)那樣麻煩他了(wouldn't have troubled him)。由此可以推測(cè)女士很后悔占用了教授很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間(regrets having taken up much of the professor's time)。故D)為正確答案。

　　17. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? The clams with our special sauce are good. They're fresh from the ocean.

　　M: Thank you, but I don't care for clams.

　　Q: Where did this conversation probably take place?

　　【解析】A)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表示地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景的短語(yǔ)，由此可以推斷，本題是考查關(guān)于某件事情發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)。 女士推薦說(shuō)配特制醬汁的蛤蜊(The clams with our special sauce)很不錯(cuò)，蛤蜊是剛從海里捕上來(lái)的(fresh from the ocean)。由此可見(jiàn)本對(duì)話發(fā)生在餐館(restaurant)，故正確答案為A)。

　　18. W: I suppose we should look for a bigger house, but I don't see how we can afford it right now.

　　M: If only we hadn't spent so much money on our car this year.

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

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是They可能會(huì)做出的選擇，由此可以推斷，本題是考查關(guān)于某些人即將做出的決定。女士覺(jué)得應(yīng)該找一間大一點(diǎn)的房子(look for a bigger house)，但目前又承擔(dān)(afford)不起。男士指出了負(fù)擔(dān)不起的原因，今年花了錢在買汽車上(spent so much money on our car)。由此可見(jiàn)，他們無(wú)法換一間大點(diǎn)的房子，因?yàn)殄X不夠(don't have enough money)。故正確答案為D)。

　　Conversation One

　　M: Oh,Janna, you're early! I'm happy you're here early today because I'd like to discuss your attendance for a moment.

　　W: Gee, Dr.Livingston, (19) I'm really sorry about missing class yesterday.

　　M: Actually,(19)it's been several days.(20)Counting today, we've only had 6 classes, yet you've already missed 4.It's more than a half. You won't be able to pass if you're constantly absent. And I really don't want to fail anyone.

　　W: Sorry, I've been extremely busy. I can explain for it. Dr.Livingston. I have a part-time job, so...

　　M: Well, I hope you're already for today's exam.

　　W: Today? I thought it was Monday!

　　M: Read the syllabus, Janna; this is precisely what I'm talking about. You should either make an effort to attend, or you should consider withdrawing while it's still possible.

　　W: What do you mean?

　　M: Today's the final day you can withdraw and get a full refund.

　　W: Maybe I really should. What do you suggest?

　　M: I wish you could attend classes regularly; however, if you don't believe you're capable of this, then don't waste your money.

　　W: Thanks, Dr.Livingston. I really appreciate your advice. If it's okay,(21) I suppose I'll go ahead and drop the class.

　　M: It's entirely up to you, but that might be best if you don't think things are going to change. Excuse me, the students are coming, and I've got to get ready for class. I wish you the very best of luck, Janna.

　　W: Thank you, Dr.Livingston. Goodbye.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What is the woman's problem?

　　B)�！窘馕觥克膫�(gè)選項(xiàng)均為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，由此可以推斷，本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是某人最近一段時(shí)間發(fā)生的事情或者持續(xù)的狀態(tài)。女士解釋說(shuō)，抱歉，昨天沒(méi)有來(lái)上課(missing class)。男士說(shuō)，并不僅僅是昨天，一共上過(guò)6次課，已經(jīng)缺了4次。由此可見(jiàn)女士的問(wèn)題在于并沒(méi)有每天都來(lái)上課(hasn�餿 been attending class every day)。故正確答案為B)。

　　20. How many classes has the woman attended?

　　A)�！窘馕觥克膫�(gè)選項(xiàng)均為數(shù)字，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的考查內(nèi)容是關(guān)于數(shù)字的。 從男士的話中可知，一共上過(guò)6次課，女士一共缺了4次(missed 4)。相減得到女士上課的次數(shù)為2次。故正確答案為A)。

　　21. What does the woman decide to do?

　　C)�！窘馕觥克膫�(gè)選項(xiàng)均為不定式，由此可以推測(cè)，本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是關(guān)于某個(gè)決定。女士說(shuō)如果可行，就決定退課(drop the class)�？梢�(jiàn)女士打算放棄這門課程，故正確答案為C)。

　　Conversation Two

　　W: Dr.Thomas? This is Keet Bradley from the daily news.(22)I'd like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.

　　M: I'd be happy to help you. What would you like to know?

　　W: First of all, how was the standard weight used?

　　M: Well, the people in our department (23)use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. It's our responsibility to see that (23)all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales.

　　W: How did you check the scales before?

　　M: We have an old standard weight that we used to use.(24)It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.

　　W: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.

　　M: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.

　　W: How much did it cost?

　　M: About 45 thousand dollars.

　　W: 45,000 dollars? For one kilogram weight? That's more expensive than gold.(25)Is it really worth that much?

　　M: (25)I'm sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.
