大学英语六级听力考试试题(十五) 一、Listening Comprehension（Section A）（共15小题,共105.0分）In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D], and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 第1题 A Furnished apartments will cost more. B The apartment can be furnished easily. C The apartment is just what the man is looking for. D She can provide the man with the apartment he needs. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: I'm looking for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment. But all your apartments are furnished. W: We can take care of that. We can simply remove the furniture. Q: What does the woman mean? [解析] 男士想要不带家具的两居室房子，女士说可以把家具撤走，故选D。对话没提价钱，故A错；男士不希望furnished，故B、C错。 第2题 A Mr. Johnson's ideas are nonsense. B He quite agrees with Mr. Johnson's views. C Mr. Johnson is good at expressing his ideas. D He shares the woman's views on social welfare. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I don't agree with Mr. Johnson on his views about social welfare. He seemed to suggest that the poor are robbing the rich. M: He might have used better words to express his ideas, but I find what he said makes a lot of sense. Q: What does the man mean? [解析] 此题关键在于听懂“make a lot of sense 很有道理”，即B“非常同意Johnson 的观点”，故A错；而女士不同意，故D错；男士说Johnson 应该措辞得当，说明C错。 第3题 A Study in a quiet place. B Improve her grades gradually. C Change the conditions of her dorm. D Avoid distractions while studying in her dorm. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I've been studying all the time, but still can't see any improvement in my grades. M: Maybe instead of studying in your dorm, you'd better go some place where there are fewer distractions. Q: What does the man advise the woman to do? [解析] 男士用了you'd better 句型表达建议，“go some place where there are fewer distractions”说明他觉得女士现在学习的地方干扰较多，所以应该找个安静的地方学习，故选A，而不是D“在宿舍学习时避免干扰”。 第4题 A It has been put off. B It has been cancelled. C It will be held in a different place. D It will be rescheduled to attract more participants. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: The seminar originally scheduled for today has been canceled. The hours I spent preparing for it are totally wasted. M: Not really. As far as I know, it's been postponed till next week. Q: What does the man say about the seminar? [解析] 本题考查postpone 和put off 的同义替换。A正确。 第5题 A Janet loves the beautiful landscape of Australia very much. B Janet is very much interested in architecture. C Janet admires the Sydney Opera House very much. D Janet thinks it's a shame for anyone not to visit Australia. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Hi, Janet. I hear you've just returned from a tour of Australia. Did you get a chance to visit the Sydney Opera House? W: Of course I did. It would be a shame for anyone visiting Australia not to see this unique creation in architecture. Its magnificent beauty is simply beyond description. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [解析] 本对话的话题是Sydney Opera House, unique creation in architecture“建筑学上独特的创作”和magnificent beauty beyond description“难以描述的美”，这些用词充分表达了女士对悉尼歌剧院的赞美。对话主题不是泛泛而谈landscape 或architecture，故A、B 错；Janet 说visiting Australia 的游客不参观Sydney Opera House 很遗憾，而不是D“不到澳大利亚很遗憾”。 第6题 A It is based on a lot of research. B It can be finished in a few weeks' time. C It has drawn criticism from lots of people. D It falls short of her supervisor's expectations. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Sherry, how are you doing with your thesis? W: Oh, my thesis! That's something I definitely don't want to talk about right now. I finished my first draft some time ago, but my supervisor said I should do more research if I want to achieve the quality he expects of me. Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the woman's thesis? [解析] 女士不想谈她的thesis，说明有问题，故可排除A 和B；对话中只提到她的supervisor，没有提到很多人，故C 错；假设条件句“if I want to achieve the quality he expects of me”说明现在还没achieve the quality he expects of me，即D“她的论文没有达到导师的期望值”。 第7题 A Karen is very forgetful. B He knows Karen better now. C Karen is sure to pass the interview. D The woman should have reminded Karen earlier. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I can't believe Karen is late for such an important occasion as a job interview. I reminded her time and again yesterday. M: You should have known her better by now—everything you tell her goes in one ear and out the other. Q: What does the man imply? [解析] 女士说她提醒Karen 多次，但她还是面试迟到了，男士说“everything you tell her goes in one ear and out the other 你跟她说的话她左耳朵进右耳朵出”意即“听完了就忘，不往心里去”，故选A，而非D，更不可能是C；此外，should have known her better 为虚拟语气，意为“本该更了解她了”，而非陈述语气的B。 第8题 A Ask Joe to apologize to the professor for her. B Skip the class to prepare for the exam. C Tell the professor she's lost her voice. D Attend the lecture with the man. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Hi, Joe. I wonder if you could do me a favor and tell the professor I've lost my voice so I can't attend this morning's class. I need the time to study for tomorrow's exam. M: I don't think it's wise to say so, since you are not going to give the lecture. You might as well simply skip the class and apologize to the professor later. Q: What will the woman probably do? [解析] 女士想让Joe 转告教授，她嗓子说不出话，不能上课。以此为借口赢得时间准备明天的考试，而男士建议她还是逃课好了，事后再向教授道歉，所以女士很可能为了准备考试而逃课，即B。A 错在让Joe 替她道歉；C 是原本的打算。 第9题 A Their BBS was not as good as what they had thought before. B Their progress in the website-design was hindered for lack of fund. C Their full-time website designer was too busy to complete her task. D Their temporary website designer was not qualified to do the BBS. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  M: Hi Jane, please come in and take a seat. W: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right? M: Yes, but it seems that we've got some problems with the BBS. [19] The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task. W: Well, didn't you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning? M: Not really. [20] She was recommended by Sampson and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I'm not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design. W: Did you ask her why she wasn't frank with you in the beginning if [19] she couldn't do the BBS? M: I did. [21] But she said it was a communication problem. W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done? M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn't honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job. W: I agree. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, [22] I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it. 19. What problem did the speakers encounter? [解析] 根据选项可以预测出问题：他们遇到了什么困难？话题与BBS, website-design, website designer 有关，因此听到对话中提及problems with the BBS 时就要注意后文的具体解释：part-time web designer 是主要问题所在，即D 中的temporary website designer。她不会建BBS 这一信息在对话中反复出现，此题不难作答。 第10题 A She was a close relative of his colleague. B She was recommended by someone he knows. C She was assigned to help with his program. D She was chosen after being interviewed. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] How did the man find the website designer? [解析] 根据选项可以大致预测出问题：“她”是通过什么途径来参与“他”的项目。B是能听到的，只是把原文的具体人名模糊化了。A 有一定的干扰性，但文中并未提及“她”与推荐人是亲戚关系。 第11题 A She complained that she was given too much work. B She admitted that she had been dishonest. C She owed it to miscommunication between them. D She insisted that she had made a terrific website. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What did the part-time web designer explain about the situation? [解析] 根据选项可以大致预测出问题是“她”对某事的态度。当女士问男士是否询问过兼职网站 设计 领导形象设计圆作业设计ao工艺污水处理厂设计附属工程施工组织设计清扫机器人结构设计 员为何一开始没表明自己能力不够时，男士用间接引语引述她的理由是communication problem，即C 中的miscommunication。 第12题 A Resort to the Part-time Job Center. B Turn to their professor for help. C Hire a professional with better pay. D Pay her full fees for better work. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What did the woman suggest they do in the end? [解析] 选项为动词原形，一般考打算、建议、要求。在对话最后，男士说了两条打算，女士提了一条建议，A 与后者一致，为答案。C 有一定的干扰性，但原文中没有with better pay 的依据。 第13题 A A story in prose. B A poem that rhymes. C A translation of a short literary wore D A journal about the process of writing. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  M: I didn't see you in creative writing class today. What happened? W: Oh, just a dentist appointment. That's all. Say, did we get a new assignment for next week? M: Yeah. A really interesting one, actually. [23] We're supposed to write a short story that has some sort of limitation or, or, constraints imposed on it. W: What do you mean? Like rhyming in a poem? M: Well, that'll be an idea. But what we write has to be prose, like prose poetry. Just to make rhyme in a poem is too easy, I guess. I think Prof. Eliot really wants to challenge us, to put our creativity to the test. W: Well, did she give any hints about what she has in mind? M: Not really, [24] but I may have an idea of the kind of thing she's looking for. I just finished a really strange book by some French guy. He wrote a whole book without even using a single e. W: A whole book without a single e? How's it possible? But, wait a minute. I didn't know you can read French. M: I can't. I read the English translation. But get this. There's not one e in that either. W: No way. Think of the words you couldn't use. M: I know, but that translator manages it. I got the book at home if you want to check out for yourself. [25] What's really amazing to me is that leaving e in French is no easy job and doing it in English is gonna involve a complete different group of words. It's a real work of mind. W: Sometime you have to show me that book. But right now I'd better get going on the writing for next week. 23. What are the speakers assigned to write? [解析] 男士说：“我们要写一篇短篇故事。但是我们写的必须是散文，就像散文诗一样。”根据对话中的short story 以及prose 得出正确答案为A。 第14题 A The class has been assigned to read it in English. B He was able to read it in French. C He isn't sure it's available in English. D He thinks it's an example of what the professor wants. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why did the man mention a book by a French author? [解析] 四个选项共同的成分是it，根据选项内容可以判断it 是可以阅读的内容，故问题应该和阅读的报刊杂志或书相关。男士说：“但是我想到她可能想要的东西。我刚读完一个法国人写的一本相当奇怪的书。”故D 正确。 第15题 A It's quite different when pronounced in French and English. B To write without using it is difficult both in English and in French. C Every word in the French author's book contained it. D It's commonly used in English to make poetry rhyme. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What point does the man make about the letter e? [解析] 四个选项都有it，根据选项内容判断在此的it 应该指单词或是字母。男士说：“真正让我诧异的是在法语中不使用e 一点都不简单，而且在把它翻译成英语时也不使用e需要完全不同的单词。真的是很费脑筋。”故答案是B。 二、Listening Comprehension（Section B）（共10小题,共70.0分） In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 第1题 A Classmates. B Colleagues. C Boss and secretary. D PR representative and client. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] [1] Both John and Sue joined the staff of a successful public relation's firm in New York during the same year. They had just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and were thrilled to be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city. John's first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client who was to put in a new game on the market. Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on the marketing concept for its newest line of clothing. As time passed and work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult, John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest accounts in town. Although John completed his assignment quickly and successfully, [2] he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult account. In response, he not only complained to his colleagues, but also to the boss's secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several additional months to actually complete the project. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignments purposely. Over the next two years John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. [3] Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully and when problems arose she responded with her characteristic, “No problem, I can handle it.” Although Sue took longer to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, [4] Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy. 26. What's the relationship between John and Sue now? [解析] 录音提到，John 和Sue 加入了一间成功的public relation 公司。由此可知他们是同事，即B。 第2题 A He felt his assignment was tougher than Sue's. B His clients complained about his service. C He thought the boss was unfair to him. D His boss was always finding fault with his work. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why was John furious after he finished his first assignment? [解析] 录音提到，当John 得知老板故意分配他去接待一个难缠的客户时，他很恼火，因此C“他觉得老板对他不公平”正确。根据“Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client”可知A 错。 第3题 A She is unwilling to undertake them. B She complains about her bad luck. C She always accepts them cheerfully. D She takes them on, though reluctantly. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What's Sue's attitude to difficult tasks? [解析] 录音提到，Sue 开心地接受了每一次的任务，当问题出现时，她通常会回答：“没问题，我可以处理。”由此可选C。其他选项基本上是John 的态度。 第4题 A Sue got promoted. B John had to quit his job. C Both John and Sue got a raise. D Sue failed to complete her project. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] How does the story end? [解析] 录音结尾提到，职位出现空缺时，Sue 获得了第一次晋升。因此答案为A。 第5题 A By greeting each other very politely. B By exchanging their views on public affairs. C By displaying their feelings and emotions. D By asking each other some personal questions. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  American visitors to East Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What's considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regarded as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, [30] people from some East Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. [31] Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many East Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior may cause offense. A major difference between American culture and most East Asian cultures is that in East Asia the community is more important than the individual. [32] Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves. 30. How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time? [解析] 录音提到，东亚国家的人与陌生人开展对话，可能会询问关于家庭或工作的一些个人问题。由此可知答案为D。 第6题 A Refrain from showing his feelings. B Express his opinion frankly. C Argue fiercely. D Yell loudly. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What would a Japanese do when he feels annoyed? [解析] 录音提到，明显表示烦恼或生气、叫喊、大声争辩等，在日本等一些国家被视为没礼貌，许多东亚人更愿意把感情藏在心里，而表现的却是彬彬有礼。故答案为A。 第7题 A Getting rich quickly. B Distinguishing oneself. C Respecting individual rights. D Doing credit to one's community. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What is encouraged in the American culture according to the passage? [解析] 录音结尾提到，大部分美国人“make a name for themselves 使自己出名”时，会被认为成功了。故答案为B。 第8题 A If they don't involve any risks. B If they produce predictable side effects. C When the urgent need for them arises. D When tests show that .they are relatively safe. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  In order for a chemical to be considered a drug, it must have the capacity to affect how the body works. No substance that has the power to do this is completely safe. [1] Drugs are approved only after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively safe when used as directed and when their benefits outweigh their risks. Thus some very dangerous drugs are approved because they are necessary to treat serious illnesses. Many people suffer ill-effects from drugs called side-effects even though they take the drugs exactly as directed. [2] The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation. But drugs are tested on just a few thousand people. When a particular drug is taken by millions, some people may not respond in a predictable way even though the drug has been tested. [3] A patient may also acquire a tolerance for a certain drug, which means the patient has to take ever-larger doses to produce the desired effects. Tolerance may lead to heavy situation, in which a person becomes so dependent on the drug that he or she becomes addicted to it. Addiction causes severe psychological and physical disturbances when a drug is taken away. Finally, drugs often have unwanted side-effects. They usually cause only minor discomfort, such as a skin rash, headache or sleepiness. Certain drugs, however, can produce serious adversary actions. 33. Under what circumstances are drugs approved? [解析] 短文听力常常是“听到什么选什么”。录音提到，药物只能在经过安全测试后，并在指导下使用。故答案为B 第9题 A Because they are not accustomed to it. B Because they are not psychologically prepared for it. C Because their genes differ from those who have been tested for it. D Because they are less sensitive to it than those who have been tested for it. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why do many people suffer side-effects from a drug even though they take it as directed? [解析] 录音提到，人们按规定服药后会出现副作用，接着解释，人类包含了很多遗传变异，但是药物测试只在部分人中间进行。由于可以概括出C。 第10题 A They will have to take ever larger doses. B They will become physically impaired. C They will suffer from minor discomfort. D They will experience a very painful process. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What will happen when patients acquire a tolerance for a certain drug? [解析] 录音提到，病人也可能会对某种药产生抗药性，这就意味着病人要加大剂量，以达到预期的药效。由此可知答案为A。 none、三（共Listening Comprehension（Section C）小题,11共分）77.0 第1题 Most people don't wake up in the morning, comb their hair, and walk out the front door and onto the world stage.

But Britain's Prince William does, though he's trying his best to act like an ordinary person. In many ways, Prince's William's graduation from Sandhurst Military Academy earlier this month highlighted his battle for normality. "I really want to be in control of my own life," William said in an interview afterwards. "I'd want to go where my men went and I'd want to do what they did. I would not want to be kept back for being precious." Yet he has accepted that it would be unfair to put his men at risk by his presence on the front line. He apparently took it better than his brother Harry, who told officers: "If I am not allowed to join my unit in a war zone, I will hand in my uniform." The differences in the princes' characters are obvious: William is the sensitive one, Harry the royal playboy. Those who have met William remember two things about him: his shyness and his efforts to be normal. The family have kept a close eye on William. But since he left St Andrews, no official agreement has existed to protect his privacy, and he was heard to say at his graduation ceremony: "I'm going out into the big wide world". A celebrity PR adviser recently said that Prince William's relationship with the press would be crucial in terms of the future of the monarchy. "If he is his mother's son, then his instincts and understanding could be the making of the royals If he is influenced by his father then it could be the end," he said. [解析] 此形容词意思与后文中的normality 一致。注意字母组合or, 元音字母i 和a。 第2题 【正确答案】： 答案:highlighted [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要动词过去式作谓语。highlight“使显著，突出”。 第3题 【正确答案】： 答案:interview [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要一个元音开头的可数名词单数形式，interview 在此意为“采访”。 第4题 【正确答案】： 答案:precious [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 形容词作表语，precious 此处可理解为“尊贵的，宝贝的，被宠爱的”。 第5题 【正确答案】： 答案:presence [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据前面的所有格形式，此处需要一个名词。presence“出席，到场，存在”。 第6题 【正确答案】： 答案:apparently [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要一个副词。apparently 不可受appear 的影响而多写一个字母e。 第7题 【正确答案】： 答案:uniform [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要一个名词。uni（only）+form=uniform（形式唯一的；制服）。 第8题 【正确答案】： 答案:obvious [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要一个形容词。根据冒号后面的对比也可预测出意思是“明显的”：obvious。 第9题 【正确答案】： 答案:Those who have met William remember two things about him: his shyness and his efforts to be normal [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [听音关键] William, two things, shyness, efforts to be normal [答案重构] Whoever have met William remember two things about him: his shyness and his efforts to be normal [画龙点睛] 第2个特点是文章中一再提及的信息，注意准确捕捉。 第10题 【正确答案】： 答案:no official agreement has existed to protect his privacy, and he was heard to say at his graduation ceremony: "I'm going out into the big wide world\ [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [听音关键] no official agreement, protect his privacy, say, graduation ceremony, big wide world [答案重构] there's no official agreement to protect his privacy, and people heard him say at his graduation ceremony: "I'm going out into the big wide world" [画龙点睛] 直接引语最好不改动。 第11题 【正确答案】： 答案:If he is his mother's son, then his instincts and understanding could be the making of the royals [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [听音关键] mother, instincts and understanding, making of the royals [答案重构] If he is like his mother, then his instincts and understanding could be qualities of the royals [画龙点睛] 根据下文的father，此处应该提及mother，If he is his mother's son 其实就是If he is like his mother 的意思，making 此处指“素质”，可以替换成qualities。 跟多 试卷 云南省高中会考试卷哪里下载南京英语小升初试卷下载电路下试卷下载上海试卷下载口算试卷下载 请访问《做题室》www.zuotishi.com
