月英语六级听力原文

1、11、女：我忘了告诉你昨晚Fred打电话来说要借你的睡袋。男：哦，我今天早上在体育馆碰到他了，但是他什么也没有说。他一定是向别人借了。问：男士的话暗示什么？12、女：这个夏天的天气越来越让我受不了了。昨天热得我连游泳池都不想去。男：坚持一下吧。天气预报说这个周末情况应该会有所缓解。问：男士的话是什么意思？13、女：嗯，今晚我们邀请到Brown教授来到演播室谈谈维多利亚时代这幅著名的油画。晚上好，教授。男：晚上好，主持人。很高兴来到这里。问：女生在做什么？14、男：窗子旁边的植物看上去总是棕色。光看它们，你绝对不知道我每周都在给他们浇水。女：也许它们不喜欢阳光直射。我养的植物也有一些曾经出现过这

2、样的问题，放到阴凉处对它们会有大有帮助。问：女士的意思是什么？15、男：Mary，我真的特别累。但是我不想错过11点的好莱坞电影。女：如果我是你，我就不看了。我们明天都得早起。况且我听说它并不像广告说的那样令人兴奋。问：女士建议男士做什么？16、男：那边的现代雕塑实在是太古怪了，你不觉得吗？女：嗯，刚开始我也不能忍受。但是我现在开始喜欢上了现代艺术了，尤其是意大利艺术家雕刻的雕塑。问：女士是什么意思？17、男：我真开心我们俱乐部决定为儿童医院筹钱。而且我们打电话联系的大部分人好像很乐意捐助。女：是的！我同意你的看法。既然我们打完了名单上的所有电话，我想我们可以收工了。问：关于讲话双方，我们可以

3、知道什么？18、男：你听说过Smith教授？我想选他的高级工程学的课。你认为怎么样？女：是的！你真的应该选。到目前为止，他已经出版了几十本书，其中有一本还被推荐为研究生教材。问：这个女生暗示什么？英语六级听力原文长对话：长对话1女：你是公众视角的编辑。你的栏目涵盖了哪些话题呢？男：是的，基本上都是国内事件，不涉及国际事件，也不包括党派政治或经济事件。我们对英国观众普遍关心的社会问题进行报道。从公共医疗保健服务的前景到环境的恶化，任何事件都有可能是我们报道的内容。女：你们是如何选择话题的呢？是因为公众想要了解呢？还是你们认为公众应该了解呢？男：我想两者兼而有之。有时候你会有很强烈的感觉，感觉某些

4、东西很重要，你想让它得到调查，你想让公众就它进行讨论。有时人们会带着他们担心的事情来找你，那可能只是些小事情，也有可能是关于地方政府的报道，也可能是一些他们实在不能理解的事情：他们不知道为什么事情不能得到妥善处理，比如垃圾没有被收集或垃圾没有及时清空。女：你们如何知道栏目非常成功呢？它正是合乎时机的。男：关于这一点，我想，在这个岗位工作几年就能感觉到。你知道哪些报道会受到关注。这些报道发表之日，正是公众关注之时。长对话2女：你好，Smith教授。听说你写了一本书，书名叫想象力。男：是的，它阐述了在21世纪科学将会引发怎么样的变革。女：我能问你几个关于这本书的几个问题吗？男：当然可以。女：你对未

5、来乐观吗？男：总体而言，是的。如果我们回到1900年，大多数美国人活不到50年。从那时起，我们的医疗保健和技术水平都有了很大提高。我们没有理由不相信这种提高会一直持续到21世纪。女：我们已经准备好了迎接将要到来的变革吗？男：变革已经发生了。现在，未来就在眼前。我们有DNA、芯片以及互联网。有些人认为“我们太老了，无法理解新技术。”而我的反应是“现在我们必须教育人们使用新技术。”女：世界人口将会成为一个大问题吗？男：是的，也不是。我认为当我们越来越富裕时，世界人口将会停止增长。如果你是中产阶级的一员，你不会想去要12个孩子，也不需要。女：将来会有一个世界性的政府吗？男：很有可能。我们将来必须站在

6、全球化的高度管理整个世界及其资源，因为国家本身太小了。女：我们将来会主宰一切吗？男:我认为我们将会学会控制天气、火山和地震。疾病将不复存在。我们将像生产汽车的零部件一样培育新的肝脏、肾脏、心脏和肺。人们会活到130岁或者150岁。2000年来，我们一直努力地了解我们的环境。现在，我们要开始控制环境。第一篇 在青少年的生活中，能坐在方向盘后面驾驶车可能意味着成长中令人兴奋的新的一步。然而伴随这种兴奋的是一份新的责任懂得需要具备的常识和成熟的心智，以避免事故的发生。为了在全国范围内向青少年宣传这种意识，Allstate基金会于1月23日在落日驿站举办了一场“安全驾驶”峰会。来自Kennedy和Al

7、amo Heights高中的学生参加了这场首次在当地召开的峰会。会议中提出的长达一年的工作目标就是教授这些青少年驾驶规则以及违规驾驶带来的严重后果，然后让他们把这些信息传达给他们的同龄人。学生观看了录像，了解了因车祸受伤或死亡的孩子数量。他们还听到了来自其他城市的孩子讲述自己粗心驾驶不仅威胁到自己的生命，而且威胁到乘客的生命的经历。“我们试图在全国的高中培养这种意识，”Allstate代表Westerman说道，“我们致力于改变青少年对于开车的想法。”据报告，与吸毒、暴力、吸烟以及自杀所导致的死亡相比，每年更多的美国青少年死于汽车事故。平均每天有16名青少年死于车祸，其中40%是因为超速。据报

8、告，德克萨斯州青少年车祸死亡率最高。学生们都认为这些统计数据让人吃惊，这使他们在驾车时再次思考如何驾驶。第二篇 Allen Hersh博士为公司设计香味。他说不用太多的香味，就能使你受到影响。即使你没有意识到自己闻到了糖果的香味，商店主人也可以引诱你走向买糖果的路。这一想法使许多人感到吃惊。消费者维权组织对此表示不满，声称商店正在用一种他们称为“香味洗脑”的洗脑方式。“这很阴险，”Mark Silbergeld说。他经营一家为消费者检验产品的组织。而那些受雇来设计香味的科学家表示不赞同。“可以用轻柔的背景音乐、特效灯光和各种各样的铃声来吸引顾客，”Hersh博士说，“为什么不能用香味呢？”“不

9、可以使用的原因之一，”Silbergeld说，“是有些人对碰在商品或商店的香味过敏。”但是在这场辩论中，还有其他一些观点：这些香味真的会起作用吗？不管怎么样，目前，两方面的证据都很少。但是，Hersh博士已经做了一些有趣的实验。在一次实验中，31名志愿者被带进有淡淡花香味的鞋店。随后，另一组人也去同一个商店购物，但是店里没有花香。Hersh博士发现84%的购物者更喜欢在有花香的鞋店里买鞋。然而，Hersh发现了更奇怪的现象。“志愿者们是否喜欢花香并不重要，”他说，“有些人说讨厌这种香味，但是他们仍更可能再带香味的店里买鞋。”第三篇这里是Ray McCarthy播报的新闻。这是关于日本一起重大的

10、火车相撞事故的报道。据报道，一辆从东京市中心出发载着数百名工人回家的客运列车撞上一辆迎面而来的货运列车。两列火车均以高速行驶。伤亡人数未知，但据估计死亡人数多达300人，数百人受伤。紧急救援队已经赶往现场。但是据我们的记者报道，清理铁轨并确定死伤人数将需要几天的时间。四年前，该路段曾经发生过一次类似的事故。昨天晚上伦敦一家大型商场夜间营业时，有一次发生炸弹恐吓事件。一位匿名者打电话报警之后，数百位购物者被带离商店。此时该地区的马路已经被封锁。警犬在商店花了数小时搜寻报警者声称的装有50磅炸药的袋子，但是什么也没有发现。到今天早晨的营业时间，商店已经全面清查完毕。警察局发言人说这是本周内的第三次

11、爆炸恐吓事件，我们都应该提高警惕。最后一则新闻。机动车协会提醒司机，最近国内很多地区开始下雪，虽然雪量可能不大，但是要注意谨慎驾驶。C部分 英语是主要的国际性语言。在全球不同的国家，英语有的被当做母语，有的被用作第二语言。一些国家将英语作为官方语言，履行行政职能；而另一些国家则将之视为商业、贸易和工业领域中的国际语言。是什么因素和力量促使英语的广泛传播？英语为什么享有如此高的声望，以至于全球范围内无论是个人还是社会，如果没有使用这门语言的能力，都将处于劣势？在1500年里，英语发生了怎样的变化？这些都是学习英语是会研究的一些问题。 你还要仔细观察英语不可胜数的各种变异性用法，逐渐了解英语是如何

12、来表明个人身份以及各种社会联系的。你深度研究这门语言错综复杂的结构。为什么一些非母语学习者抱怨英语学习如此难学，而出生在讲英语的地区的婴儿在学会使用刀叉之前就掌握了这门语言？在Sussex大学，你将从各个方面获知英语的本质及其语法。这包括语音结构、单词构成、词序、语义结构的学习，以及有关于这些方面的英语习惯用法上的理论考试。该学校还会鼓励你针对各种各样的实践问题和理论问题来发展个人的应变能力，这一点，通过学习演说家、作家如何使用英语即可得到提高。11. W: I forgot to tell you that Fred called last night to borrow your slee

13、ping bag.M: Oh, I saw him at the gym this morning, but he didnt say anything. So he must have asked somebody else.Q: What does the man imply?12.

15、g?14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldnt know by looking at them that I water them every week.W: Maybe they dont like direct sunlight. I had the same problem with some of my plants. And a little shade helps them immensely.Q: What does the woman imply?15. M: Im really exh

16、austed, Mary. But I dont want to miss the Hollywood movie that comes on at 11.W: If I were you, Id skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow.

17、d. Dont you think so?W：Well, I couldnt stand them either at first. But now Ive come to like modern art, particularly those sculptures carved by Italian artists.Q: What does the woman mean?17. M: Im really glad our club decided to raise money for the childrens hospital. And most of the people we phon

18、ed seemed happy to contribute.W: Yeah! I agree. Now that weve gone through all the numbers on our list, I guess we can call it a day.Q: What do we learn about the speakers?18. M: Have you heard of Professor Smith? Im thinking of taking an advanced engineering course with him. What do you think?W: Ye

19、ah! You really should. Hes published dozens of books so far, once been recommended as a textbook for postgraduates.Q: What does the woman imply?英语六级听力原文长对话：Long conversation oneW: Youre the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover?M: Well, there are essentially domestic stor

20、ies. We dont cover international stories. We dont cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill.W: How do you choose the topic? Do you choose o

21、ne because its what the public wants to know about or because its what you feel the public ought to know about?M: I think its a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes pe

22、ople come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesnt seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dus

23、tbins emptied.W: How do you know that youve got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time?M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the

It explains how science will revolutionize the 21st century.W: Could I ask you some questions concerning the book?M: Sure.W: Are you optimistic about the future?M: General

25、ly, yeah. If we go back to the year of 1900, most Americans didnt live beyond the age of 50. Since then, weve had improvements in health care and technology. There is no reason why these wont continue far into the 21st century.W: Are we ready for the changes that will come?M: Changes are already hap

26、pening. The future is here now. We have DNA, microchips, the internet. Some peoples reaction is to say, we are too old; we dont understand new technology. My reaction is to say, we must educate people to use new technology now.W: Is world population going to be a big problem?M: Yes, and no. I think

27、that world population will stop increasing as we all get richer. If you are a part of the middle class, you dont want or need 12 children.W: Will there be a world government?M: Very probably. We will have to manage the world and its resources on a global level because countries alone are too small.W

28、: Will we have control of everything?M:I think well learn to control the weather, volcanoes and earthquakes. Illness wont exist. Well grow new livers, kidneys, hearts, and lungs like spare parts for a car. People will live to about 130 or 150. For 2000 years, we have tried to understand our environm

29、ent. Now well begin to control it.Passage 1Getting behind the wheel of a car can be an exciting new step in a teens life. But along with that excitement comes a new responsibility-understanding the need for common sense and maturity to avoid accidents. In an effort to spread awareness to teens acros

30、s the nation, the Allstate Foundation sponsored a Keep-The-Drive Summit at Sunset Station on January 23rd. Students from Kennedy and Alamo Heights High schools participated in the summit which was held here for the first time. The goal of the year-long effort is to educate teens on the rules of safe

31、 driving and the severe consequences that can result if those rules are not followed, and then have them communicate that information to their peers. The students watched videos that told them about the numbers of teenage driving injuries and deaths. They listen to the videos as students from other

32、cities share their stories of how their reckless driving affected not only their lives but also those of their passengers. “We are trying to create awareness in high schools across the countries,” said Westerman, an Allstate representative, “we focus on changing how teens think behind the wheel.” Ac

33、cording to the presentation, more teens die in automobile crashes in the United States each year than from drugs, violence, smoking and suicide. An average of 16 teens die every day in motor vehicle crashes and nearly forty percent of those are caused by speeding. Texas is the state with the most te

34、en driving deaths according to the presentation. Students agreed that the statistics were amazing and made them think twice about how they drive. Passage 2 Dr. Allen Hersh designs smells for businesses. He says that it doesnt take a whole lot of smell to affect you. Store owners can lure you to the

35、candy aisle, even if you dont realize your are smelling candy. This idea scares a lot of people. Groups that protect the rights of shoppers are upset. They say the stores are using a kind of brainwashing which they call “smell-washing”. “Its pretty dishonest,” says Mark Silbergeld. He runs an organi

36、zation that checks out products for consumers. The scientists hired to design the scents disagree. “Theres soft background music. Theres special lighting. Therere all sorts of bells being used,” says Dr. Hersh, “why not smells?” “One reason why not,” says Silbergeld, “is that some people are allergi

37、c to certain scents pumped into products or stores.” But there is a whole other side to this debate, “do the smells really work?” So far, there is little proof one way or the other. But Dr. Hersh has run some interesting experiments. In one of Hershs experiments, 31 volunteers were led into a shoe s

38、tore that smells slightly like flowers. Later, another group shopped in the same store, but with no flower odor. Dr. Hersh found that 84% of the shoppers were more likely to buy the shoes in the flower-scented room, but Hersh found out something even stranger. “Whether the volunteers like the flower

39、 scent or not didnt matter,” Hersh says, “Some reported that they hated the smell, but they still were more likely to buy the shoes in the scented room.” Passage 3This is Ray McCarthy with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. A passenger train carrying hundreds of workers

40、 home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with hundreds more injured. Emergency and rescue services rushed to the scene. But our repo

41、rter says it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the

42、police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by

43、 opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard. And finally, the motoring organizations have issued a warning to drivers following the recent falls of snow in many parts of the country. Although the falls may be slight, they say extra care is needed. Section CEnglish is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe English is acquired as the mother tongue; in others it is used as a second language. Some nations use English a
