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?2. W: I don’t agree with Mr. Johnson on his views about social welfare. He seems to suggest that the poor are robbing the rich.M: He might have used better words to express his idea. But I’ve found what he said makes a lot of sense.Q: What does the man mean?3.W: I’ve been studying all the time, but I 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?4. W: The seminar originally scheduled for today has been cancelled. The hours I’ve 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?5. 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 this conversation?6. 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 draft some time ago. But my supervisor said I should do more research if I want to achieve the quality that he expects of me.Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the woman’s thesis?7. W: I can’t believe Karen is late for such an importance 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?8. 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 time to study for tomorrow’s exam.M: I don’t think it’s wise to say so. Since you’re 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?9. M: After high school, I’d like to go to college and major in business administration. I really like power and enjoy telling people what to do.W: You’re very ambitious. But I’d rather spend my college days finding out what children are interested in. Child’s psychology is for me.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?10. M: It seems the restaurants here have little business these days.W: That’s true. But ours is a scenic resort. And this is not the busy season. When summer comes, you’ll see armies of tourists waiting in line in order to get a seat.Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the restaurants in the town?Section BPassage OneBoth John and Sue joined the staff of a successful public relations 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 putting a new game on the market. Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on a 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 clients in town. Although John completed his assignments quickly and successfully, he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult client. 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 assignment. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignment purposely. Over the next two years, John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully. And when problems arose, she responded with her characteristic “No problem, I can handle it.” Although Sue took longer tocomplete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy.11. What’s the relationship between John and Sue now?12. Why was John was furious after he finished his first assignment?13. What’s Sue’s attitude to difficult tasks?14. How does the story end?Passage TwoAmerican visitors to Eastern 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 regard as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from some Eastern 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. Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern 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 suchbehavior may cause offense. A major difference between Americans culture and most Asian cultures is that in Asia, the community is more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.15. How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time?16. What would a Japanese do when he feels annoyed?17. What is encouraged in American culture according to the passage?Passage ThreeIn 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. Drugs are only approved 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 drug exactly as directed. 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. 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 effect. Tolerance may lead to habituation, in which the person becomes so dependent on the drug that he or she becomes addicted to it. Addition causes severe psychological and physical disturbances when the drug is taken away. Finally, drugs often have unwanted side effects. Thisusually causes only minor discomfort, such as a skin rash, headache or sleepiness. Certain drugs, however, can produce serious adverse reactions.18. Under what circumstances are drugs approved?19. Why do many people suffer side effects from a drug even though they take it as directed?20. What will happen when patients acquire a tolerance for a certain drug?。

W: Yes, and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that.

M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face.

M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings. W: It must have come a bit expensive. M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china.19. Why does the man say we laughed when we see some self-important people making fool of themselves? 20.

M: Well, the original shop was opened by a retired printer by the name of Gruby. Mr Gruby being left-handed himself, thought of the idea to try to promote a few products for left-handers. W: And how did he then go about actually setting up the business? M: Well, he looked for any left-handed products that might already be on the market which were very few. And then contacted the manufactures with the idea of having products produced forhim, mainly in the scissors range to start with. W: Right. So you do commission some part of your stock. M: Yes, very much so. About 75 percent of our stock is specially made for us. W: And the rest of it? M: Hmm, the rest of it now, some 25, 30 years after Mr. Gruby’s ini tial efforts, there are more left-handed product actually on the market.

M: The range consists of a variety of scissors from children scissors to scissors for tailors, hairdressers etc. We also have a large range of kitchen ware. W: What’s the competition like? Do you have quite a lot of competition? M: There are other people in the business now in specialists, but only as mail-order outlets.

We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks. W: well, can we summarize the problem from my point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade affairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened? M: well, the delay wasn’t entirely our fault. You did in fact mak e late changes to the specifications of the advertisements. W: Uh, actually, you were late with the initialproposals so you have very little time and in fact, we only asked for small changes. M: Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign f or 4 extra weeks? W: That’s not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade affairs. Because of this, we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year. M: Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign. W: We are not happy. We lost business. M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides. W: Ok, let’s suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free r epeat campaign? M: Well, let’s take a break, we’re not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.22: What do we learn about the man’s company? 23: Why was the campaign del ayed according to the man? 24: What does the woman propose as a solution to the problem? 25: What does the man suggest they do at the end of the conversation?。

Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. When most people think of the word "education," they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers(26) stuff "education." But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not (27 )the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the 28 of what is in the mind. "The most important part of education," once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the (29) Harvard philosopher, "is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him. And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, "I know, learn from me." He said, rather, "Look into your own selvers and find the (30) of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle (点燃) to a( 31)." In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of (32), and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really "knows" geometry--because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out. So many of the discussions and (33) about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they(34) what should "go into" the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, "I spend so much time studying that I dont have a chance to learn anything," was clearly expressing his ( 35 ) with the sausage-casing view of education.

2019年12月英语六级听力真题详解conversation 1Hey I just read a great book about physics。

I thinkyou‘d like it。

It’scalled the physics of the world。

It‘s written by ascientist named SylviaMendez。

Oh I read that book。

It was great。

The writer is a warm and competent guideto the mysteries of physics。

【1】 I think it promises enrichment for any readerfrom those who know little about science to the career physicist。

And it‘s refreshing tosee【2】a strong curious clever woman adding her voiceto the scientific discourse and a field that has been traditionally dominated bymen。

I think she has to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotesabout little known female scientists。

You know they were often victims of ageneration firmly convinced that the woman’s place was in the home。

【3】I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to lifeby pieces of fascinating knowledge。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When global warming finally came, it stuck with a vengeance (异乎寻常地). In some regions, temperatures rose several degrees in less than a century Sea levels shot up nearly 400 feet, flooding coastal settlements and forcing people to migrate inland. Deserts spread throughout the world as vegetation shifted drastically in North America, Europe and Asia. After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction, people were forced to abandon their old way of life for a radically new survival strategy that resulted in widespread starvation and disease. The adaptation was farming: the global-warming crisis that gave rise to it happened more than l0,000 years ago.As environmentalists convene in rio de Janeiro this week to ponder the global climate of the future, earth scientists are in the midst of a revolution in understanding how climate has changed in the past -- and how those changes have transformed human existence. Researchers have begun to piece together an illuminating picture of the powerful geo1ogical and astronomical forces that have combined to change the planet”s environment from hot to cold, wet to dry and back again over a time Period stretching back hundreds of millions of years.Most important, scientists are beginning to realize that the climatic changes have had a major impact on the evolution of the human species. New research now suggests that climate shifts have played a key role in nearly every significant turning point in human evolution: from the dawn of Primates 灵(长类动物) some 65 million years ago to human ancestors rising up to walk on two legs, from the huge expansion of the human brain to the rise of agriculture. Indeed, the human history has not been merely touched by global climate change, some scientists argue, it has in some instances been driven by it.The new research has profound implications for theenvironmental summit in Rio. Among other things, the findings demonstrate that dramatic climate change is nothing new for planet Earth. The benign (宜人的) global environment that has existed over the past l0,00O years - during which agriculture, writing, cities and most other features of civilization appeared -- is a mere bright spot in a much large pattern of widely varying climate over the ages. In fact the pattern of climate change in the past reveals that Earth” s climate will almost certainly go through dramatic changes in the future -- even without the influence of human activity 2l. Farming emerged as a survival strategy because man had been obliged --A)to give up his former way of lifeB)to leave the coastal areas.C)to follow the ever-shifting vegetationD)to abandon his original settlement.22.Earth scientists have come to understand that climate --A)is going trough a fundamental changeB)has been getting warmer for l0, 000 yearsC)will eventually change from hot to cold.D)has gone through Periodical changes23.Scientists believe that human evolution -A)has seldom been accompanied by climatic changesB)has exerted little influence on climatic changesC)has large1y been effected by climatic changesD)has had a major impact on climatic changes24.Evidence of past climatic changes indicates that .A)human activities have accelerated changes of Earth ” s environmentB)Earth ”s environment will remain mild despite human interferenceC)Earth”s climate is bound to change significantly in the futureD)Earth”s climate is unlikely to undergo substantial changes in the future25.The message the author wishes to convey in the passage is that .A)human civilization remains glorious though it is affected by climatic changesB)mankind is virtually helpless in the face of the dramatic changes of climate》》》》》考试真题资料word版——2023年最新整理《《《《《C)man has to limit his activities to slow down the global warming processD)human civilization will continue to develop in spite of the changes of nature11 / 11。

But some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays, in the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W：My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed, can you guess what she did? She didn't take that flight. She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead she took the same flight. But a week later, everything was fine. Of course, no plane ever crashed.M：How funny did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It's been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.W：Yes, absolutely. But even if we think they are ridiculous, emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M：Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, things they wished would happen. But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W：Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bizarre as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 5. What do both speakers think of dreams?答案：they don’t have special meaningsQuestion 6. Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?答案：Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashedQuestion 7. What does the woman say about people's emotions?答案：emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.Question 8. What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults dreams?答案：But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.Passage one.南极考察队对于V湖冰面下生物的探索While some scientists explore the surface of antarctica, others are learning more about a giant body of water four kilometres beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered lake V oss dock in the 19 seventy's by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in lake V ohs dog remain liquid beneath an ice sheet? The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing, says Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than 2 million years.Anything found there will be totally alien to what's on the surface of the earth to see a good scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination. Again, robots might be the solution. If all goes as planned, a drill shaped robot will through the surface eyes. When it reaches the lake, it will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures, and look for signs of life. The scientists hope their discoveries will shed light on life in outer space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently, close up pictures of jupiter, as moon europa shows signs of water beneath its icysurface.

He could did a tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribesmen in Mexico. At first, the tribe member named gonzales was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit that are home, orris gonzales agreed to help. He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary. Copeland says, thanks to him that are who Morris understood what our mission was and started trusting us.Entering the world of that, Hamas has been a laborious project for Copeland. To reach their homeland, he must drive 2.5 days from Houston, Texas. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribesmen can't easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship that are Morris, who don't believe in accumulating wealth, take the food and share it among themselves.For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying, but also has enriched his life in several ways.

It seems today that people are terrified of the term, particularly of having the label attached to them. Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission, thereby maintaining the existing state of affairs, and more important, preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life, when faced with a threat of being labeled radical women back down from their worthy cause and consequently participate in their own oppression, it has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the stigma attached to the word. If people refuse to be controlled and intimidated by stigma, as the stigma as lose all their power, without fear and which to feed such stigma as can only die. To me, a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm. What advocates a change in the existing state of affairs? On closer inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving and therefore is not a constant entity.So why there is deviation from the present situation? Such a threat than the state of affairs itself is unstable. And subject to relentless transformation, it all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the rise of those who don't. In fact, when we look at the word radical in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radicalin his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals. Civil rights activists were radicals, even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England or radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed. There are some radicals who have made a negative impact on humanity. But undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That being said, next time someone calls me a radical, I will accept that label with pride.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16. What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?答案：preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Question 17. What is the speaker's definition of a radical?答案：a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm.Question 18. What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?答案：there would simply be no progress without radicals.Recording two.人的社会性因素：不可避免的被环境影响We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent. Perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.And let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and the people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his 10 minute coffee break, but the other workers take a half an hour. Fred says, what's the matter with you guys? Two weeks later, Fred is taking 20 minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying, if you can't beat them, join them, why should I work any harder than the next guy?The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we have become accustomed to the nasty smells mix withcritical people. And we learn to criticize mixed with happy people. And we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say that is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I may offend some of my present company. Right? But it is your life. Fred may say I'm always broke frequently depressed. I'm going nowhere and I never do anything exciting. Then we discover that friends, best friends, are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence. Nor is it our business to stand in judgment of Fred. However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years. It's no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health because they spend their lives around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally, nine out of tension, whose parents' smoke smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successful friends. And so the story goes on.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19. What does the speaker say about us as human beings?答案：None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.Question 20. What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?答案：It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh airQuestion 21.What does the speaker say about psychiatrists?答案：Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Recording three.美元的发展历史Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency. The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other. The exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief lifespan. Few dollar bills survive longer. 18 months.The word dollar is taken from the German word, tailor the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century.The Thaler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles the 5th, emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the constitution was signed, people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era. Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest bearing bank notes were issued at the same time. But their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the war of 1812. The first non interest bearing paper currency was authorized by congress in 1862. At the height of the civil war. At this point, citizens, old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed. The dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname greenback. Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the federal reserve and is issued from the 12 federal reserve banks around the United States. The government keeps a steady supply of approximately 2 billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However, for the present, the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it and little more. The only other guarantee on the bill is a federal reserve pledge as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22.
