M: Yes.

W: He graduated at 17 with the first classdegree in physics and mathematics. All right?

M: Yes, all right.

W: He made his first notable achievement atthe age of 18. It was a method of refrigeration which rolls from his work inlow temperature physics. He became professor of mathematics at the Universityof Manchester at 24, where he remained for twelve years. During that time, hemarried one of his students, Natasha Willoughby

M: Yes, go on.

W: Later working together in London, theylaid the foundations of modern physics by showing that normal laws of cause andeffect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles.

Passage One

In America, white tailed deer are morenumerous than ever before, so abundant in fact that they've become a suburban nuisanceand a health hazard.

Why can't the herd be thinned theold-fashioned way? The small community of North Haven on Long Island is home tosome six hundred to seven hundred deer. The department of EnvironmentalConservation estimates the optimum population at 60. The town has been browsedbare of vegetation except where gardens and shrubs are protected by highfences.

Drivers routinely collide with deer andthere are so many dead bodies left by the side of the road that the town hasmade it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of the bodies.Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases. On theoccasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have workedto secure court orders against the hunts. And when that is failed, they stopthe hunters, banging on pots and pans to alert the deer. Town meetings calledto discuss the problem inevitably dissolved into confrontations.

The activists believe simply that the deerare not the problem. Some communities have even discussed the possibility ofbringing wolves back into the ecological mix. That means wolves in the suburbsof New York. It is almost too wonderful not to try it. The wolves would killdeer of course. They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is notwhat the suburban dwellers have in mind.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passageyou have just heard

Q16. What do we learn about white-taileddeer in North Haven?

Q17. Why do local animal rights people bangon pots and pans?

Q18.What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix?

Passage Two

And now, if you'll walk this way, ladiesand gentlemen, the next room we're going to see is the room in which the familyused to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain headsof state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly andintimate. And I think you'll agree. It has a very informal atmosphere, quiteunlike some grand houses you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even atnight, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside which were lit upat night – a very attractive sight. As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, theguests were seated very informally around this oval table, which would add tothe 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 extremelybig, it's supported by just six rather slim legs. However, it seems to havesurvived like that for 200 years. So it's probably going to last a bit longer.The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set. There wereoriginally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they are veryplain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at theback and no armrests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in forvery long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past. And now, ladiesand gentlemen, if you'd like to follow me into the great hall…

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passageyou have just heard

Q19. What do we learn about the speaker?

Q20. What does the speaker say about theroom they are visiting?

Q21. What is said about the oval table in theroom?

Q22.What does the speaker say about the chairs?

Passage Three

Janet James was 22 years old when she wasdiagnosed with MS—a disease that attacks the body's nerves. She has justgraduated from college and got a job at an advertising agency when she began tosense that something strange was going on inside her body. When James realizedhow severe her illness was, she knew she had better hurry up and live life. MSis the biggest crippler of young adults. And although she didn't have many symptoms,she knew it was just a matter of time. First on her agenda was to pursue herdream of hosting a pop music programme. She worked at a radio station for ayear, always aware that her body was degenerating. Then her best friend movedaway. And one night James began screaming, "I got to go! I got togo!" Two weeks later, she arrived at Alaska, thousands of miles from herfriends, her family and her past. "Everything fell into a place", sherecalls. A 23-year-old girl with an incurable disease can fly to Alaska andeverything can work out. The MS attacks came and went. And most of the timethey hardly slowed her down. James hiked, fished, learnt to sail andexperimented with hot air ballooning. "I lived for adventure", shesays. "Nobody ever had a better time or did more exotic strange thingsthan I did in an 80-year period." Inevitably however, the day came whenshe was so weakened that she had to return to Pittsburgh, her home town. Thereshe began relieving her adventures by writing a book about them. Her book waspublished in 1993.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passageyou have just heard.

Q23. What does the speaker say about MS?

Q24. What did Janet James decide to do after herdisease was diagnosed?

Q25. What's sort of person can we infer JanetJames is? the ecological mix?

六级听力解析

【听力短对话解析】

1.答案：D) Their hard workhas resulted in a big success.

解析：此题考生要听懂never sounded better这个结构，字面意思是：你们的摇滚乐队不可能比现在听起来更好了。也就是说女人表达的意思是：你们的摇滚乐队这次的演出简直就是登峰造极的感觉，你们的表演太牛了！而答案仍然在第二句男人的回答中出现：感谢，我想上个月不分日夜的疯狂练习最后还是值得的。重点词组：paying off （回报偿还）

2. 答案：B) Join a packagetour to Mexico.

解析：原文中男人纠结到底是骑行欧洲还是自驾去墨西哥，女人建议说我们提供一个300美金全包的两周的墨西哥游，这句话就是答案句——建议男人参加墨西哥的打包游。此题正确选项中tour一词，而原文男人的话中去欧洲也出现了tour，明显的干扰词，提醒各位考生短对话关键还是听懂原文找同意替换。

3. 答案：B) In case someproblem should occur.

解析：此题为否定句型，考生应该听到but之后的关键句，选出同意改写即可。

4. 答案：C) The man can tryout the facilities before he becomes a member.

解析：短对话原意是男人想成为某会所的会员，想知道一些关于会员的信息，女人简单介绍了相关信息后说到：我给你一个免费试用的机会，你可以在决定之前试一试这里的设备。重点还是放在对话的第二个人说的话上。

5.答案：A) He is not fitto study science.

解析:此题考查学生对短语：cut out 的理解，cut out 在这个小对话中的意思是“计划，安排”的意思，言下之意女士说听到他物理不及格的消息很遗憾，物理不及格的男士却说：还是面对吧，反正我也没有打算做科学家。

6. 答案：C) Pay for part ofthe picnic food.

解析：此题是否定转折句型，重点听到but后面的内容选出同意替换即可。

8. 答案：D) The payment foran order.

解析：女士问男士：我们是否已经收到了上个月寄出的海外订单的那笔付款？而此题的问题就是针对女士所关心的事情提问，据此可知女士关心的就是一个订单的付款。

【听力长对话解析】

【长对话1解析】

答案：

9. B) A hotel receptionist.

10. A) Appearance.

11. C) Offer the job to David Wallace.

解析：

该对话围绕男士和女士挑选合适的酒店招待员展开，讨论三个应聘者Frank Brisenski，Barbara Jones和David Wallace的优劣势：Frank Brisenski有礼貌，声音好听，聪明，但是外表形象欠佳；Barbara Jones声音好听，穿着得体，但过于害羞，不擅于与人沟通；David Wallace聪明，外表形象佳，表现自如，有礼貌，声音动听。最后俩人决定录取David Wallace。前两题考查事实细节，都能从原文直接找到答案，考生在听的时候要大概记下对话双方对于三个应聘者的评价，特别是转折处。虽然第三题需要考生推断，但是根据对话双方对David Wallace的评价就可以马上推出这是他们最终定的人选。

【长对话2解析】

答案：

12. C) He was admitted to university.

13. B) He became a professor ofMathematics.

14. D) Their work on very high frequencyradio waves.

15. D) To teach at a university.

解析：

从开头几句就可知是电话对话，男士打电话询问科学家Dennis Hutton的个人信息，女士在电话另一头作了简短介绍，中间涉及多处时间点，考生在听的时候要特别记下每个时间对应的事件，这样四个题目的答案就出来了。

本篇对话有一定难度，一是时间点较多，二是一些较难的单词和短语，如reference library参考书阅览室；Darlington达灵顿（英国英格兰东北部城市）；inventor发明家；physicist物理学家；be admitted to进入；refrigeration冷冻；low temperature physics低温物理学；mathematics数学；subatomic particles亚原子粒子；patent取得……的专利权。做题时不要纠结于一些听不懂的单词，可以在试卷各选项旁边标注上时间点，这样等听问题时就能快速锁定答案.

【听力短文解析】

【短文1解析】

答案：

16. A. They have become a headache to thecommunity.

17. C. To alert the deer.

18. B. They would endanger domesticanimals.

解析：

这是一篇关于生态的文章。讲述了白尾鹿数量过多给长岛带来的负面影响，以及政府因此采取的措施。首句便点明了文章主旨，16题的答案即可呼之欲出。17题为事实细节题，pots and pans压了头韵，在文中的特征还是颇为明显的，不难定位。18题看似推理判断，但并不难从原文中得出正确答案，cats and dogs都是domestic animals家禽，所以也可看作是事实细节题。总的来说，今年听力短文的难度有所下降。大家要有信心，一定能通过考试的！

难词：

nuisance n. 麻烦事

hazard n. 危险

alert v. 向……报警

【短文2解析】

答案：

19. A She is a tourist guide.

20. C It was used by the family to holddinner parties.

21. B It is very big, with only six slimlegs.

22. D They are uncomfortable to sit in forlong.

解析：

这是一篇导游词，介绍名人故居的一个房间。对房间的作用，风格，陈设等做了详细的讲解。没有太难的生词，只要抓住以上几个角度，题目就不难做出了。除了第一题，其他三题都是事实细节题，21、22题可能乍一看，很难推测出考点，这时可以注意文中详细讲解的部分，导游对oval table, chairs做了非常详细的介绍，即为考点。

【短文3解析】

答案：

23. D It is the biggest crippler of youngadults.

24. A Hurry up and live life.

25. B Adventurous.

解析：

本篇短文听力介绍了一位MS患者的励志故事。主人公Janet James在22岁时被检测出患有MS（多发性硬化症）——这是导致年轻人残废（crippler）的最大原因。当得知自己患有重病，James决定抓紧时间，享受生活。接下来短文讲述了James在病发前逐一完成自己的梦想，并尝试了许多冒险行为，例如远足、钓鱼、学习驾驶帆船、体验热气球等。最后当James的病情达到严重地步时，她回到家乡，并把自己的冒险故事写成了一本书籍。

这篇短文中有一些关于疾病的单词，例如diagnosed、MS、crippler、symptom、degenerating，给听力增加了难度。

【听写填空解析】

本篇听力填空主要讨论在家接受教育的问题。文章结构非常清晰，为传统的三段式。第一段介绍在大部分地区，法律（legislation）允许家长在家教育子女，有些地区还会要求家长或家庭教师需满足教师资格，甚至有些地方要求家长填写表格，证实他们的子女正在接受获批的课程。对于这种教育方式，有利也有弊。文章第二段表述了在家接受教育的支持观点，例如便宜、有效、增进家庭关系、降低辍学（dropout）率，学生可以自主学习，提升动力（motivation），减少纪律（discipline）问题等。第三段介绍了这种教育方式的反对意见，一些批评家们争论（contend）这种方式既解决了一些矛盾也带来了一些新的问题，例如有些家长可能不具备施教能力，并且他们不像学校那样具备充足的科技资源。本篇听力的三个词组听写出现在最后一段的最后三空，这种现象十分罕见，学生做题时需提高警惕
