Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line trough the centre. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk (废话)”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people’s lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audiences are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation.

While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.

21. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ________.

A) more family-oriented

B) unusually popular

C) more profound

D) relatively formal

22. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience ________.

A) remain fascinated by them

B) are ready to face up to them

C) remain indifferent to them

D) are willing to get involved in them

23. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A) A new type of robot.

B) Racist hatred.

C) Family budget planning.

D) Street violence.

24. Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both ________.

A) ironical

B) sensitive

C) instructive

D) cynical

25. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ________.

A) have monopolized the talk show circuit

B) exploit the weaknesses in human nature

C) appear at different times of the day

D) are targeted at different audiences

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.

Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.

This concept does not imply that business is benevolent (慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customer-and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!

26. The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, ________.

A) the practice of turning goods into money

B) making goods available for purchase

C) the customer-centred approach

D) a form of persuasive salesmanship

27. What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?

A) The needs of the market.

B) The efficiency of production.

C) The satisfaction of the user.

D) The preferences of the dealer.

28. According to the passage, “to move as much of these goods as possible” (Lines 3-4, Para. 1) means “________”.

A) to sell the largest possible amount of goods

B) to transport goods as efficiently as possible

C) to dispose of these goods in large quantities

D) to redesign these goods for large-scale production

29. What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?

A) Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.

B) It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.

C) Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.

D) Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.

30. In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on ________.

A) its main characteristic

B) its social impact

C) its possible consequence

D) its theoretical basis

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.

Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.

Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence of conflict.

Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations, decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial indicators.

In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions.

31. In the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is ________.

A) wrong

B) oversimplified

C) misleading

D) unclear

32. Professor Charles R. Schwenk’s research shows ________.

A) the advantages and disadvantages of conflict

B) the real value of conflict

C) the difficulty in determining the optimal level of conflict

D) the complexity of defining the roles of conflict

33. We can learn from Schwenk’s research that ________.

A) a person’s view of conflict is influenced by the purpose of his organization

B) conflict is necessary for managers of for-profit organizations

C) different people resolve conflicts in different ways

D) it is impossible for people to avoid conflict

34. The passage suggests that in for-profit organizations ________.

A) there is no end of conflict

B) expression of different opinions is encouraged

C) decisions must be justifiable

D) success lies in general agreement

35. People working in a not-for-profit organization ________.

A) seem to be difficult to satisfy

B) are free to express diverse opinions

C) are less effective in making decisions

D) find it easier to reach agreement

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Imagine eating everything delicious you want-with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldn’t it?

New “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So it’s up to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.

Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can’t be digested at all.

Normally, special chemicals in the intestines (肠) “grab” molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids.

The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.

Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say it’s that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.

Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.

36. We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that ________.

A) contains plenty of nutrients

B) renders foods calorie-free while retaining their vitamins

C) makes foods easily digestible

D) makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious

37. The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be ________.

A) commercially useless

B) just as anticipated

C) somewhat controversial

D) quite unexpected

38. Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that ________.

A) it passes through the intestines without being absorbed

B) it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the body

C) it helps reduce the incidence of heart disease

D) it prevents excessive intake of vitamins

39. What is a possible negative effect of olestra according to some critics?

A) It may impair the digestive system.

B) It may affect the overall fat intake.

C) It may increase the risk of cancer.

D) It may spoil the consumers’ appetite.

40. Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olestra?

A) It may lead to the over-consumption of vitamins.

B) People may be induced to eat more than is necessary.

C) The function of the intestines may be weakened.

D) It may trigger a new wave of fake food production.

Until the very latest moment of his existence, man has been bound to the planet on which he originated and developed. Now he had the capability to leave that planet (71) and move out into the universe to those worlds which he has known previously only directly. Men have explored parts of (72) the moon, put spaceships in orbit around another planet and possibly within the decade will land into another planet and (73) explore it. Can we be too bold as to suggest that we may be (74) able to colonize other planet within the not—too—distant (75) future? Some have advocated such a procedure as a solution to the population problem. ship the excess people off to the moon. But we must keep in head the billions of dollars we (76) might spend in carrying out the project. To maintain the earth’s population at its present level. we would have to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the year.

Why are we spending so little money on space (77) exploration? Consider the great need for improving many (78) aspects of the global environment, one is surely justified in his concern for the money and resources that they are poured (79) into the space exploration efforts. But perhaps we should look at both sides of the coin before arriving hasty (80) conclusions.

2.2013年6月六级听力真题解析 篇二

短对话

六级听力短对话题型的难点主要体现在简单词的活用上。在参加过此次六级考试之后,考生们不难发现,无论是在录音原文还是题目中都很少见到太过专业或生僻的词汇。尽管录音原文和题目中出现的都是常见词,但考生如果不了解这些词的地道用法,便无法理解对话的核心含义,或是被那些简单词的字面意思所迷惑。下面来看一道例题。

例1:What does the man mean? (2013年6月六级听力Section A Question 15)

A. He is bothered by the pain in his neck.

B. He cannot do his report without a computer.

C. He cannot afford to have a coffee break.

D. He feels sorry to have missed the report.

解析:在这段对话的开头,考生会听到一名女士说:“You’ve been sitting at the computers for hours. Let’s take a coffee break, shall we?”这句话的意思很好理解:她建议男士停下手头的工作,离开电脑,休息会儿。该题的重点体现在男士的回答中:“I’m up to my neck in work.”此处的短语be up to one’s neck in sth.是该题的难点,也是易错点。首先,考生可能会将其误听为netting work。其次,如果考生不了解该短语的含义,即便听出了neck,也是一头雾水,很可能将答案错选为选项A。虽然neck这个词很简单,但短语be up to one’s neck in sth.却不太好理解。该短语意为“深深陷入某事物中”,据此考生可判断出该男士正因工作忙得不可开交。再加上他后面又提到“I don’t want to miss the deadline”,考生很容易就能判断男士的意思:我还不能休息,要继续工作。所以正确答案为选项C。

这道题反映出了短对话题型的一条出题规律:此类题型旨在考查考生能否听出录音材料的“弦外之音”,即在理解细节信息的基础上揣摩出说话人最终想表达的意图。出题人经常会根据这条规律设置干扰选项。这些干扰选项往往会和录音材料中的细节信息形成“部分对应”,迷惑考生。所以考生在听录音时,应尽可能把握对话主旨,或是根据“部分对应”排除那些干扰选项。

除了那些包含简单词的短语表达,熟词僻义也是短对话题型的考查重点。来看下面这道例题。

例2:What could we infer from the conversation? (2013年6月六级听力Section A Question 16)

A. Only top art students can show their works in the gallery.

B. The gallery space is big enough for the man’s paintings.

C. The woman would like to help with the exhibition layout.

D. The man is uncertain how his art works will be received.

解析:在这段对话的开头,一位男士问道:“What do you think of this gallery space? They offer to let me exhibit some of my paintings here.” 此句比较简单,只要考生知道exhibit一词的意思就能理解。该题的难点在于女士的回应:“Any art student I know would die to have an exhibition here.”此处出现了die这个考生都很熟悉的单词,但这里的die和“死亡”没有关系。此处的短语would die to do sth.意为“渴望做某事”或“为做某事死也值了”。所以该女士回答的核心意思为艺术生们都渴望在这里展示画作。据此考生可以通过进一步推理得出如下结论:只有十分优秀的艺术生才能得到在此展出作品的机会。因此正确答案为选项A。

长对话

此次六级考试听力部分两段长对话的难度都不小,其难点均体现在大量的生词上。考生在解答此类题目时,可以遵循长对话的基本解题思路——视听基本一致原则,即“所听即所得”。换句话说,如果某一选项的核心信息几乎全部出现在录音中,与录音原文的信息吻合度最高,那么该选项便很可能是正确答案。此外,考生还应熟记一条规律:遇到问题,必出考题。也就是说,录音中出现的问句往往也是考点所在。下面笔者就为大家分析一下两个长对话涉及的题目。

例3:What does the woman say about the new suppliers? (2013年6月六级听力Section A Question 20)

A. They quote the best price in the market.

B. They manufacture and sell office furniture.

C. They cannot deliver the steel sheets on time.

D. They cannot produce the steel sheets needed.

解析:该题是第一段长对话的第二题。在这段对话中,说话人针对一次商务危机的处理进行了讨论。对话开头曾两次出现了dictate一词,这其实是在迷惑考生。这个词首次出现在dictating machine这个词组中,该词组意为“录音机”。该词第二次出现在“I’ve got a long report I must dictate”这句话中,意为“口述”。此处第一个说话人其实是想借用录音机。尽管这些信息出现在开头,却并非该对话讨论的核心问题。在这之后,第二个说话人提出了一个疑问:“It’s the message you sent me about the delivery delay (延期交货) on the control desks (控制台). What’s gone wrong?”考生听到这里会发现,双方重点讨论的其实是控制台的延期交货及其原因。因此,根据“遇到问题,必出考题”的规律,考生可以判断问句之后出现的信息很可能就是该题的正确答案。

在第一个说话人回答这个问句时曾出现两个重点语句:“We have to get the steel sheets we need for these desks from new suppliers”和“They (指suppliers) say they will be a bit late with delivery”。考生会发现,选项C中的“cannot … on time”其实就是上文be a bit late的同义替换。可见,选项C中的核心词与对话中的信息几乎是完全对应的。此外,其他选项中出现的很多词都未在对话中出现。因此,根据视听基本一致原则,该题正确答案应为选项C。

考生在解答长对话题目时,除了运用视听基本一致原则,还可利用两个原则:题文同序原则和并列排除原则。题文同序是指题目出现的顺序和答案信息在录音中出现的顺序大体一致。而并列排除是说,如果多个选项的信息在录音的一个分句中并列出现,那么这些选项就有可能是错误答案,应予以排除。下面笔者就通过以下例题来具体分析。

例4:What is the woman’s profession? (2013年6月六级听力Section A Question 23)

A. Stockbroker.

B. Physicist.

C. Mathematician.

D. Economist.

解析:该题是第二段长对话的第一题。这段对话主要探讨的是混沌理论(chaos theory)及其应用的问题。由于该题为第一题,根据题文同序原则,考生可将答案信息定位至对话开头处。在对话开头,一名男士问道:“Kathy, chaos theory seems to be a branch of physics or mathematics. You are an economist. So how does it influence your work?”考生不难发现,在男士问话的第一个句子中,B、C两个选项的信息以“A or B”(physics or mathematics)的并列形式出现。然而,考生不能将两个选项同时选为正确答案,因此应予以排除。虽然后面紧接着就出现了选项D中的economist一词,但该词独立于前两个词出现在第二个分句中,所以不能排除。而根据视听基本一致原则,考生可判断出此题正确答案恰恰是选项D。

但请考生注意,并列排除原则只是一种应试技巧,并非在任何情况下都可使用。考生应对听力考试的关键仍在于提高自己对材料主旨的理解能力和对细节信息的听辨能力。只有在考生听力基础过于薄弱、听不懂对话的情况下才适宜用该技巧。

短文理解

六级考试听力部分的题目设置往往遵循难度递增原则,因此长对话后面出现的短文理解一直都是难度较大的一类题型。近年来,短文中的专业词汇越来越多,这也增加了文章本身的理解难度。再加上此时听力部分的测试已经过半,考生开始觉得疲惫,听记出现困难,这些都会对考生做题造成一定干扰。不过,考生也不用过于恐慌。在应对短文理解题目时,考生可以利用视听基本一致原则快速找到解题线索,甚至可以在没能完全听懂的情况下选出正确答案。请看下面这道题。

例5:What characterizes the stars nominated at the labs? (2013年6月六级听力Section B Question 27)

A. Long years of job training.

B. High emotional intelligence.

C. Distinctive academic qualifications.

D. Devotion to the advance of science.

解析:该题是第一段短文的第二题。这段短文讨论的主要是情商(EQ, Emotional Quotient)及相关科学实验的问题。由于该题为第二题,因此根据题文同序原则,考生可将答案信息定位至短文中间部分。此处对应的录音内容为:“It turned out there was no difference in IQ, no difference in academic qualifications, no difference in the years on the job. The only difference was in emotional intelligence.”考生可以通过第一个句子中的三个no difference in判断出选项A和选项C并非正确答案。选项D的内容没有在录音中出现,只有选项B的信息与录音内容大体一致。此外,上述原文句子中的最后一句又用了the only difference来强调emotional intelligence这个信息,因此根据视听基本一致原则,考生可以判断出选项B为正确答案。

在此次六级考试听力部分的三段短文中,大多数题目都可根据题文同序原则和视听基本一致原则来解答,而且出题点通常在信息的重复处、强调处和转折处等。所以笔者建议,广大考生在作答时一定要静下心去听,尽力去理解、记忆。考生即便没能听懂短文的中间部分,最起码还能运用题文同序原则解答那些涉及短文开头和结尾的题目。

复合式听写

这次的复合式听写题目是一篇关于人工智能与人机交互的社科类文章,专业方面的生词不是很多,比较容易理解,需要听写的单词也不是很难。考生在听写过程中,需要重点注意两个词的词形变化:一个是名词qualities的单复数变化;另一个是动词relaxed的时态变化。(编注:这两个词分别出自2013年6月六级听力Section C的第36题和第40题。)由于这两个单词结尾“s”的发音和“d”的发音不容易被听出来,因此考生需要掌握基本的语法规则,从而对所填词的词形做出判断。
