星火:2008年12月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)聽(tīng)力理解預(yù)測(cè)試卷

　　16. M: Professor Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know he works till midnight every day.

　　W: I wouldn't have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是有關(guān)女士和教授之間的關(guān)系，由此可以推測(cè)，本問(wèn)題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于女士和教授的學(xué)習(xí)和工作的。 男士說(shuō)教授這個(gè)學(xué)期很忙(very busy this semester)，每天工作到深夜(works till midnight every day)。女士回答說(shuō)如果早知道是這么忙就不會(huì)那樣麻煩他了(wouldn't have troubled him)。由此可以推測(cè)女士很后悔占用了教授很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間(regrets having taken up much of the professor's time)。故D)為正確答案。

　　17. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? The clams with our special sauce are good. They're fresh from the ocean.

　　M: Thank you, but I don't care for clams.

　　Q: Where did this conversation probably take place?

　　【解析】A)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表示地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景的短語(yǔ)，由此可以推斷，本題是考查關(guān)于某件事情發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)。 女士推薦說(shuō)配特制醬汁的蛤蜊(The clams with our special sauce)很不錯(cuò)，蛤蜊是剛從海里捕上來(lái)的(fresh from the ocean)。由此可見(jiàn)本對(duì)話(huà)發(fā)生在餐館(restaurant)，故正確答案為A)。

　　18. W: I suppose we should look for a bigger house, but I don't see how we can afford it right now.

　　M: If only we hadn't spent so much money on our car this year.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation about the speakers?

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是They可能會(huì)做出的選擇，由此可以推斷，本題是考查關(guān)于某些人即將做出的決定。女士覺(jué)得應(yīng)該找一間大一點(diǎn)的房子(look for a bigger house)，但目前又承擔(dān)(afford)不起。男士指出了負(fù)擔(dān)不起的原因，今年花了錢(qián)在買(mǎi)汽車(chē)上(spent so much money on our car)。由此可見(jiàn)，他們無(wú)法換一間大點(diǎn)的房子，因?yàn)殄X(qián)不夠(don't have enough money)。故正確答案為D)。

　　Conversation One

　　M: Oh,Janna, you're early! I'm happy you're here early today because I'd like to discuss your attendance for a moment.

　　W: Gee, Dr.Livingston, (19) I'm really sorry about missing class yesterday.

　　M: Actually,(19)it's been several days.(20)Counting today, we've only had 6 classes, yet you've already missed 4.It's more than a half. You won't be able to pass if you're constantly absent. And I really don't want to fail anyone.

　　W: Sorry, I've been extremely busy. I can explain for it. Dr.Livingston. I have a part-time job, so...

　　M: Well, I hope you're already for today's exam.

　　W: Today? I thought it was Monday!

　　M: Read the syllabus, Janna; this is precisely what I'm talking about. You should either make an effort to attend, or you should consider withdrawing while it's still possible.

　　W: What do you mean?

　　M: Today's the final day you can withdraw and get a full refund.

　　W: Maybe I really should. What do you suggest?

　　M: I wish you could attend classes regularly; however, if you don't believe you're capable of this, then don't waste your money.

　　W: Thanks, Dr.Livingston. I really appreciate your advice. If it's okay,(21) I suppose I'll go ahead and drop the class.

　　M: It's entirely up to you, but that might be best if you don't think things are going to change. Excuse me, the students are coming, and I've got to get ready for class. I wish you the very best of luck, Janna.

　　W: Thank you, Dr.Livingston. Goodbye.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What is the woman's problem?

　　B)�！窘馕觥克膫�(gè)選項(xiàng)均為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，由此可以推斷，本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是某人最近一段時(shí)間發(fā)生的事情或者持續(xù)的狀態(tài)。女士解釋說(shuō)，抱歉，昨天沒(méi)有來(lái)上課(missing class)。男士說(shuō)，并不僅僅是昨天，一共上過(guò)6次課，已經(jīng)缺了4次。由此可見(jiàn)女士的問(wèn)題在于并沒(méi)有每天都來(lái)上課(hasn�餿 been attending class every day)。故正確答案為B)。
