新东方听力特训CD6

雅思听力6-test 1解题心得---朱潇婷剑六的第一个test，在内容取材和题型上与剑五和剑四差别不大，依旧由健身中心咨询，电台新戏院采访，课程咨询和伦敦东区历史讲座构成，总体上来讲，Section 4讲座最难，涉及到的生词和历史背景比较多，语速较快。

Section 1 共10小题。

题型是填图题和完成句子。

第一个图表的outline非常清晰，从“facilities, classes, and additional facility”三个方面去听。

“facilities”包括是三个方面，第一个是“golf”（已给出），那么接下来两个空格要填的也听该是名词。

录音中我们听到有“tennis court, football team, badminton, keep-fit studio, swimming”等五个设施名词，考生要注意辨别前三个项目都不是Kingswell 这个俱乐部能提供的服务，而是另外一家俱乐部的，只有听出这几个干扰项，才能答对。

关于能提供的教学课程，我们能听到“judo, stretch, kick-boxing (题干已给出), and yoga”，值得注意的是那个女士说“We are planning to add judo and stretch course soon…”，所以只有yoga是正确答案。

接下来我们听到男士问“What about relaxing after exercise?”这很明显是转移至下一话题（“additional facility”）的话术。

所以紧跟着的“we’ve got a salad bar which……”就是答案。

所以做题前审题，明确定位词，听力时把握全文意思而不是去听个别词汇，排除干扰信息才能确保答题正确率。

2020年12月新东方大学英语六级考试模拟题2听力原文及答案Part I WritingIn such a competitive society, many people dream of achieving success overnight. And even some try to get the result by using any means, good or ill. However, we shouldn’t forget those traditional virtues in the process of pursuing the so-called life goals, such as the trait of honesty. Otherwise, mankind will face a loss of mutual trust among individuals and a loss of a hopeful future.Outdated it may sound, the trait of honesty is supposed to be kept and passed on by all human being. If we ignore it, we’ll learn the significance of honesty the hard way later. My friend Laura is a good case in point. Believing she is smart, she speculates that she could pass the final exams without working hard on a daily basis. She played video games or watched TV series everyday instead of studying diligently. When the exams came at the end of the semester, she felt overwhelmed. Sadly, she chose to cheat on one of the exams, discarding any thought of honesty. Inevitably, she was caught and punished by the school. She could have been honest about her study and have made up for the exam at a later time.Given the importance of honesty, it’s vital for students to value this trait. They are supposed to adopt a down-to-earth attitude toward life or work, being honest and diligence. With the trait of honesty, it’s beyond doubt that they will be more likely to gain success at work or in life.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices markedA), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a singleline through the centre.Conversation OneM: Do you love eggs, Alison? Recently, I read some articles about the relationship between eating eggs and health.W: Yes, I love eating eggs. During a typical day, I may have scrambled eggs in the morning. Later in the day, I may have omelette.M: What else do you eat during the day?W: Maybe some snacks between meals. They may also contain some eggs.M: Ok. Have you ever thought about the question, like how many eggs is safe to eat in a day?W: No, I haven’t. You mean, it’s not safe to eat a lot of eggs in a single day, right?M: Eating too many eggs isn’t good for one’s health. Of course, it’s a p iece of advice from doctors. W: How can we define “too many” or “too few”? Is there any standard for the number of eggs consumed during a day?M: In fact, there is. It is given by health experts.W: At a guess, I think eating five eggs a day will be ok.M: No, that’s too many. Health experts point out that two eggs a day is fine for average person.W: I’m afraid I’ll have to cut down on the eggs I usually eat in a day.M: And, if you decide to limit the number to two eggs a day, you should also try hard to avoid eating any cheese on that same day.W: Why? I love eating scrambled eggs with cheese on them.M: Please don’t eat like that anymore. Eating the two together mean s that you get more calories than you actually need. The result is, you’ll put on weight gradually.W: I don’t want to put on weight! I want to keep slim as long as possible.M: Alison, I quite understand that. Ladies pay more attention to their figures nowadays.W: For that purpose, I’ll give up on cheese. Instead, in the morning, I’ll eat s crambled eggs with green beans, vegetables and fruits.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What does the woman eat between meals during a typical day?2. According to the man, what’s the proper number of eggs eaten by a n average person in a day?3. Why does the man advise the woman to stop eating scrambled eggs and cheese together?4. In order to stay slim, what will the woman probably do in the future?1. A2. B3. A4. BConversation TwoW: Hello, Jeff. You know, lately, I’ve been sorting out things stored in the attic. It’s really exhausting. M: It’s hard work. I know that. I’ve done it once or twice a year. In fact, the attic is easily influenced by climate. The temperature and humidity may fluctuate dramat ically with the time of the year. It’s fine for storing some things, but not suitable for others.W: Could you be more specific? I’ll be very thankful.M: Ok, it might be fine for suitcases, Christmas decorations and pottery. But things made of natural mat erials won’t fare well in the attic.W: How about chairs? I’ve got too many chairs in my house. I’m thinking of getting rid of some of them.M: If they are wooden, you’d better put them somewhere else. Don’t store them in the attic. The huge changes in humidity and temperature can cause the wood to expand and crack.W: Ok, I’ll follow your advice and put them in some proper place. How about old tech, like TVs, smartphones and laptops? Can I leave them in the attic?M: Please don’t do that. Such tech devices shouldn’t be kept in the attic. In the attic, the temperature and humidity vary too much and too often. The result is, moisture will easily collect inside and damage the inner components.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What has the woman been doing in recent days?6. According to the man, what can be stored in the attic?7. Why can’t wooden chairs be left in the attic?8. For what reason can’t old smartphones be put in the attic?5. B6. A7. B8. CSection BDirections:In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After youhear 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 1 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneWhen it comes to weight loss workout strategies, walking is totally underestimated. It’s time to change that. It has plenty going for it, including that you don’t have to wear Spandex, you don’t have to go to a special gym to do it, and you can even get medals for it. And there’s no learning curve.Not only can you lose weight by doing it, but the more you weigh, th e easier it’s going to drop pounds. How much weight you can lose by walking varies from person to person, but it’s reported that women drop as many as 14 to 22 pounds within eight weeks of starting a walking routine. Men tend to lose weight faster. Other people lose it more slowly, and sometimes those who lose it more slowly tend to keep it off longer.The first tip for weight loss is to remember to do more than you’re doing now. There’s no magic formula for how many steps, miles, or hours you have to walk to lose the amount of weight that you want. Starting out, the key is to do more than you’re doing now. If you have a job where you’re on your feet all day, you have to do more than that. But if you have a sedentary desk job, a walk every evening after dinner may show real results. A lot has been said about getting a baseline of about 10,000 steps a day for health reasons. If your goal is weight loss, you’ll likely want more than that once you get into a routine.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. What’s the problem with walking in helping people to lose weight?10. How can a walking routine help in people’s efforts to lose weight?11. What’s the speaker’s advice for a person doing a sedentary desk job?9. B 10. A 11. CPassage TwoAs one who has worked exclusively from home for the past two and a half years, I’d like to say “welcome!” to all the people who are now forced to do the same. And as one who has gained 18 pounds in those two-plus years, I’d also like to say, it’s really easy to pack on unwanted weight while working from home. I mean, you’re cooped up in a relatively small space all day, it’s real easy to make frequent trips to the cupboard, you can work in sweatpants or pajamas that expand with you, and there i s just you (or family) so there’s less guilt around snacking.Thankfully, over the last few months I have learned to change up some routines and have steadily been shedding that weight ever since. So, if you are new to working from home, I wanted to share some food tech tips to help you navigate your new normal.Please note: I’m not a dietitian or nutritionist. I’m not going to tell you what you should be eating, you should go see an expert if you are concerned about that. This is more about little things you can do around your place to keep extra weight off.Don’t put your home office in the kitchen. I realize that this may not be possible for everyone, but if you can avoid it, don’t set up at the kitchen table or counter. Frequent snacking is the enemy, and it’s far too easy to grab a handful of Thin Mints each time you finish a spreadsheet. It’s harder to work all day when the food’s in the room.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. According to the speaker, what might cause one working from home to gain weight?13. Why is the speaker qualified for offering help to others who are new to working from home?14. In what aspect can the speaker help others working from home?15. What does the speaker warn people against?12. C 13. B 14. A 15. CSection CDirections:In this section, you will hear three recordings of lectures or talks followed by three or four questions. The recordings will be played only once. After you hear a question, you mustchoose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Recording OneDo you want to eat better, exercise more, stop smoking or lose weight? Great. Now’s the time toset those New Year’s resolutions. As we head into a year, your first step is to believe you can do it. The opposite is also true. If you think you can’t do it, you’ll likely prove yourself right.While about 40% of Americans set resolutions around January 1, about 40% to 44% of them will be successful in six months. But if you believe in yourself, you are 10 times more likely to change via a New Year’s resolution, compared to non-resolvers.Here’s how to start yourself on the strongest possible footing this year.First, you should make it specific.Eating better and exercising more are all nice ideas, but they’re too general and don’t give you a plan of action. People often think they lack motivation when the problem is really a lack of clarity. The simple way to apply this strategy to your habits is to make it concrete in detail. If you want to eat better, be specific: Resolve to add a fruit or vegetable to your lunch every day, limit fast food to once per week, or have dessert once a week.Second, you are supposed to make it possible.Don’t commit to a marathon if you hate running. Avoid resolutions that sound great but are unattainable. In fact, make th em something you will enjoy. They can still be hard, but that doesn’t mean they have to make you miserable.To eat better, put that bowl of fruit right next to your lunch bag, so you grab an apple or orange every day. Hate apples? Don’t pick apples. Pick a fruit you are likely to eat.To exercise more, you might want to run more. But if you’re a night person, don’t make it harder on yourself by trying to run every morning before work. Do it after work.Third, you are expected to allow yourself to fail.It’s OK if a coworker’s box of donuts throws you off for one day. Everyone screws up. Expect to have occasional slips. But don’t let the occasional missed exercise class or Friday workplace donut throw you off course.Most successful resolvers slip in January, but 71% of successful resolvers say their first slip strengthened their efforts through a combination of guilt, increasing awareness of their problem’s severity, and the slip reminding them to refine their plans.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What was found about Americans’ New Year’s resolutions?17. What would an excessively general New Year resolution lead up to?18. What’s the speaker’s second tip for accomplishing a New Year’s resolution?19. What attitude should people adopt towards occasional failures in keeping their resolutions?16. A 17. A 18. B 19. CRecording TwoWinter’s here now, temperatures are dropping, and chances are that it’ll get even colder. All that most of us want to do is stay indoors with a cup of hot tea and a heartwarming movie, but do cold temperatures bring us any health benefits? If so, what are they? We investigate.Can the cold temperatures of winter do us any good? I don’t know about you, but I’m definitelywhat you mig ht rather unscientifically refer to as a “summer person.” I thrive in hot weather, love wearing light clothes, and cherish the long, sunny days that make me feel productive in my study or work.But in winter, I always complain about the cold, bundle up under five different layers of clothing, and unhappily wait it out until temperatures rise again in the spring. But am I wrong in being so afraid of this season and the low temperatures it brings?Research has suggested that cool temperatures could bring a range of health benefits, and that we shouldn’t always shun exposure to cold. Here and now, let’s discuss one of the many reported benefits.That is, the cold can boost sleep quality.Our bodies follow a circadian rhythm that self-regulates eating, sleeping, and activity patterns according to day-night cycles, thereby allowing us to function normally. Researchers have found that a disorder in circadian rhythms can lead to a disrupted sleep, which, in turn, can lead to a number of health problems.Studies that were recently covered by Medical News Today have found that insomnia and other sleep disorders can impair our perception and cognitive function and heighten the risk of kidney disease and diabetes.Research has revealed that, when we fall asleep, our body temperature begins to drop. Insomniacs, however, seem unable to regulate body heat appropriately, leading to difficulties in falling asleep.This is where external temperatures come in. One study experimented with “cooling caps”—that is, a cap that keeps the sleeper’s head at cooler temperatures — and found that insomniacs benefited from the exposure, which allowed them to enjoy a better night’s sleep.Current sleep guidelines—supported by existing research—suggest that the ideal temperature in our bedrooms as we prepare to go to sleep should be somewhere between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit, namely around 15.5 to 19 degrees Celsius.The bottom line is that you shouldn’t be freezing cold, of course—that won’t really help your sleep—but moderately cool environments might do the trick.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.20. Why does the speaker love summer more than winter?21. What causes people with sleep disorders to have difficulty in falling asleep?22. By current sleep guidelines, what should be avoided in order to get better sleep?20. B 21. C 22. ARecording ThreeTake a moment to cherish your plants and appreciate the animals you see around you. In 50 years, a third of them may no longer exist.Scientists studied 538 animals, insects and plants from 581 sites across the globe, and found that approximately one in three plant, insect and animal species could face extinction by 2070. However, things could be even worse if emissions continue to rise as rapidly as they have in recent decades. In a worst-case scenario, that number could rise to over 55%.Of the 538 species studied, 44% of them have already experienced an extinction in a particular local area. The researchers found that local extinction sites had larger and faster changes in the hottest yearly temperatures than those that did not.While many species were able to tolerate a moderate increase in maximum temperatures, 50% of the species had local extinctions if maximum temperatures increased by more than 0.5 degrees Celsius. That number rose to 95% if temperatures increased by more than 2.9 degrees Celsius.The researchers found that the key to predicting whether a population will go extinct is the maximum annual temperature, as opposed to the average yearly temperature. This is notable because average temperatures are typically used as markers in measuring climate change.With January going in the record books as the warmest January in 141 years and statistical analysis done by NOAA scientists predicting 2020 to be one of the five warmest years on record, the researchers believe there will be more local extinctions across the globe. And with summer heat waves potentially becoming more dangerous in the coming decades, the potential for loss of life will likely only grow from there.However, that number could drop if we make a collective effort to address climate change, they say. The Paris Agreement was signed in 2015 by ministers from 195 countries from around the globe. It committed these countries to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and below 1.5 degrees, if possible.The researchers found that achieving the Paris goals could be the difference between extinction and survival for many species. Based on the researchers’ sampl e of 538 species, they projected a loss of 30% of the species under a more extreme warming scenario, but only about 16% if all the countries stick to the Paris Agreement. So, think in 1 in 6 species, not 1 in 3.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What did scientists find about species in their study?24. What’s the key to predicting where a population will go extinct?25. What are the possible influences of the Paris Agreement on species?23. D 24. A 25. CPart III Reading ComprehensionSection A26.

The retail value of China’s fragrance segment is project ed to experience considerable annual growth and expand from $1.18 billion in 2018 to $1.81 billion in 2023. That is, the market had surged 48.2 percent between 2014 and 2018. Compared to skincare products and cosmetics, fragrance is a relatively small and slow-growing category as it is still considered a nonessential item by many Chinese consumers. However, the market value will continue to expand in the next five years, driven by a growing diversity in product offerings and consumers’ appetite for premium fragrance. One of the key factors driving growth in the fragrance segment is the maturity of the domestic e-commerce industry. In fact, many international brands consider e-commerce as the first step into the Chinese market.。
