选择大学英语六级听力材料方法1.不要选择专业术语、专有名词较多的材料.
专业术语之类难词、生僻词对于绝大部分同学来说不需要掌握,因此练习时可以忽略掉.而如果选择的材料中这类词汇较多的话,无疑给自己设置了很多不必要的”拦路虎”,会影响练习的流畅性,应予以避免.
选择大学英语六级听力材料方法2.注意语段材料的时效性,时效性越强越值得练习. Read the rest of this entry »
1. 在快速浏览时获取信息。
尽管听力考察的是你的听的能力，但同时也是对你阅读能力的一种考验。对很多考生来说，最大的问题是时间不够，你必须很快的读，因为每题中间的间隔只有 12 秒。所以，不要仔细读选项句子，而应该快速浏览，寻找并记住关键词。也就是说，要纵向的看选项而不是横向的看。而当你看的时候，注意下面的信息：
a) 注意重复的词语，这些词通常会给你一些线索，还会帮你回忆起你在题目中听过的人名和事物名称。
b) 注意各个选项中的主要区别。你可能会看到一些不同的名字或地点或不同的动词，这些不同之处将会帮你确定这道题中哪些是你要听的关键，即关键词。 Read the rest of this entry »
关于英语六级短对话
除了和英语四级相同的一些视听反向原则(即听到的单词和短语要慎选)和同义词替换原则(即准确答案经常是原文的同义词语的替换)之外,六级的小对话在出题方向上出现过一些明显的特点,总结如下:
教授要求严格:例如布置作业很多、考试不容易过,上课要求准时、讲座难度高等等;

六级听力选择题目答题方法点拨
一，基本解题思路
小对话：视听反向原则、同义替换原则。
视听反向原则是指，在小对话的题目中，看似明显被读到的选项反而更容易是错的。但须注意，当小对话原文本身较长或生僻词较多时，该原则可能会出现特例，如03年6月第8题。
同义替换是指，若某一选项中的单词或短语是听力原文中单词或短语的同义形式，则该选项容易为正确。
例题：
2002年6月六级考试第4题
A. The woman doesn’t think it a problem to get her passport renewed.
B. The woman has difficulty renewing her passport.
C. The woman hasn’t renewed her passport yet.
D. The woman’s passport is still valid.
原文：
M: Have you run up against any problems in getting the passport renewed?
W: I haven’t started applying yet.
Q: What do we know from the conversation?
解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为D.其中，另外三项的大部分单词或短语都被读到。”valid”意为“（在一段时间内）有效的”。
例题：
2007年6月六级考试第15题
A. More money. B. Fair treatment. C. A college education. D. Shorter work hours.
原文：
W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month.
M: I hope not. I’d rather get more work hours so I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college.
Q: What does the man truly want?
解析：准确答案A。More money 替换enough bucks，同义替换，听到的慎选。
例题：
2008年12月六级考试第16题
A. Fixing some furniture. B. Repairing the toy train.
C. Reading the instructions. D. Assembling the bookcase.
原文：
M: The instructions on the package say that you need to do some assembly yourself. I’ve spent all afternoon trying in vain to put this bookcase together.
W: I know what you mean. Last time I tried to assemble a toy train for my son and I almost gave up.
Q: What does the man find difficult?
解析：准确答案D。assemble 和put…together同义替换，听到部分的慎选。
长对话和短文听力：视听基本一致原则、同义替换原则、特殊词定位原则
视听基本一致的含义是指，若听到的原文和看到的选项基本一致，则选项容易为正确。这一点和小对话的原则恰恰相反，请考生一定注意。
同义替换原则，同小对话。
特殊词定位原则是指，在原文中特殊词（如序数词1st，极端词most、most important、only，逻辑连接词because、since、but、however，以及自问自答的回答部分）后面很可能出现正确答案信息。
例题：
2009年6月六级考试第1道长对话：
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. A. Current trends in economic development.
B. Domestic issues of general social concern.
C. Stories about Britain’s relations with other nations.
D. Conflicts and compromises among political parties.
20. A. Based on the poll of public opinions.
B. By interviewing people who file complaints.
C. By analyzing the domestic and international situation.
D. Based on public expectations and editors’ judgment.
21. A. Underlying rules of editing.
B. Practical experience.
C. Audience’s feedback.
D. Professional qualifications.
答案：BDB
原文：
Long conversation one
W: You’re the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover?
M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don’t cover international stories. We don’t cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern （19题答案，视听基本一致原则）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? （听到choose the topic，同时看到20题选项by和based on，即可猜到20题是与这个问题关联的）Do you choose one because it’s what the public wants to know about or because it’s what you feel the public ought to know about?
M: I think it’s a mixture of both.（第20题答案，需要简单概括归纳）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 people 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 doesn’t seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied.
W: How do you know that you’ve 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（21题答案，同义替换practical experience）. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that.
Q19-21
19. What kind of topics does Public Eye cover?
20. How does Public Eye choose its topics?
21. What factor plays an important role in running a successful program?
例题：
2009年6月六级考试第3篇短文听力第34题
34.. A. There was a bomb scare.
B. There was a terrorist attack.
C. A fire alarm was set off by mistake.
D. 50 pounds of explosives were found.
答案：A
原文：
There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night（34题答案，视听基本一致原则） during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the 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 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.
Q34: Why did people have to leave the London store last night?
例题：
2002年12月六级考试第1篇短文听力：
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
11.A. To find ways to treat human wastes.
B. To study the problems of local industries.
C. To conduct a study on fishing in the Biramichi River.
D. To investigate the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River.
12.A. Serious pollution upstream.
B. Lack of oxygen.
C. Overgrowth of water plants.
D. Low water level.
13.A. They’ll be closed down.
B. They’ll be moved to other places.
C. They’re going to dismiss some of their employees.
D. They have no money to build chemical treatment plants.
14.A. Because the local fishing cooperative decided to reduce its catch.
B. Because the local Chamber of Commerce tried preserve fishes.
C. Because there were fewer fish in the river.
D. Because over-fishing was prohibited.
答案：CBDC
原文：
There are some serious problems in the Biramichi River. The local chamber of commerce, which represents the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year study on fishing in the Biramichi River（第11题答案，视听基本一致原则） and write a report for them. This is my report:
One of the major problems in the Biramichi River is that the level of oxygen in the water is too low.（第12题答案，视听基本一致原则，注意major的定位作用） Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources: the factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves.（第13题答案，视听基本一致原则）
Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large number. The members of cooperative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch（第14题答案，视听基本一致原则，注意because的定位作用）, not because they were trying to preserve fishes.
11.What was the speaker assigned to do in the past year?
12.What is one of the problems in the Biramichi River?
13.What does the passage tell us about the factories along the river?
14.Why was the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River reduced according to the speaker?
二，审题及利用选项推知答案
1. 审题的作用：
小对话——看选项，判断题目类型，推知解题方法。
长对话及短文——看选项，推断问题，方便运用视听基本一致原则且帮助定位。预测长对话或短文的主题。
2．如何在完全听不懂的情况下通过选项推知答案：
一般的，当两个选项意思相近或谈论的话题相同时，其中一个可能是正确答案；当两个选项通过同义转换使得实际观点相同时，两个选项均不是答案；当两个选项话题相同且意思相反时，其中一个可能是正确答案。
例题：
2009年6月六级考试第14题
14. .A. She can help the man take care of the plants.
B. Most plants grow better in direct sunlight.
C. The plants need to be watered frequently.
D. The plants should be placed in a shady spot.
答案：D
原文：
14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldn’t know by looking at them that I water them every week.
W: Maybe they don’t 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?
解析：只看选项，CD选项相近且主语都是The plants，话题相同；BD选项话题相同且意思相反，所以选D 。
三，部分统计类规律
小对话：
六级小对话听力场景里的故事情节总趋于不完美性——比如，订票一般订不到，课程一般比较难，作业一般不好做，等等。当然，这只是一条统计规律，具体问题具体分析。
另外的，一般情况下，小对话的第二句出现出题点的可能性大于第一句，也就是一般来讲第二句比第一句重要，但也会有第一句出现出题点的可能。
长对话及短文听力：
一般是顺序出题原则，但当有问及全文主题等类题目出现时，有可能不按顺序出题。
一般首句或首句群会出题。
六级听力复合式听写答题方法点拨
1， 审题。先看第一句，判断出该篇的主题、感情基调及时态。再看单词空格前后的单词或短语，以此推知空格中所填单词的词性甚至词义。此外还需注意句子空格前后是什么单词，以判断句子的起止点。
2， 速记。复合式听写在第一遍读文章时，时间是比较不够用的，所以如何锻炼自己速记能力很重要。如departmentàdept., difficultàdifft, three months laterà 3m>, eight days agoà <8d等。对于写字慢的同学，句子不一定完全照搬，可以记下重点词，之后凭印象和逻辑连词成句。
3， 注意单词拼写。一般常考的单词是名词和动词。名词需要注意单复数，动词需要注意时态。句子中如果遇到不会拼写的单词，可用同义词替换。
例题：
2009年6月六级考试复合式听写第36题
English is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe, English is acquired as the mother (36) ________, in others it’s used as a second language.
答案：tongue
相信大部分同学只要看了这句话，就都可以猜出在空格里填入的单词和前面mother构成的短语意思应该是“母语”，于是填入tongue。实际上这个空格是无需听音即可填出的。
例题：
1999年6月六级考试复合式听写第S1题
President Clinton later today joins (S1) ________presidents Ford, Garter and Bush at “the president’s summit for American’s future” aimed at recruiting one million volunteer tutors…
答案： former
同样的，无需听音，即可猜出S1空格应和presidents搭配意为“前总统”，于是填入former.
六级听力考前两周复习方法
1， 复习高频词汇、常见场景词汇以及听力多义词汇。
2， 总结真题中出现的固定搭配和习惯表达。
3， 多听真题，尽量做到每天一套真题。同学们一定会发现，真题的参考性是非常大的，反复出一个考点在六级听力中屡见不鲜。
比如六级考试09年6月第13题，原文及选项均仿照02年6月第3题。
再如六级考试09年6月第15题，原文及选项均仿照00年6月第9题。
此外六级考试07年12月第11题，原文及选项均仿照00年1月第5题。
例题：
2009年6月六级考试第13题

听力原文及答案
Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Why don’t you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.
W: I’d like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.
Q: Why can’t the woman accept the man’s invitation?
【解析】B)。四个选项都是关于女士，由此暗示对话当中应该更加重视与女士有关的部分。男士邀请女士去他家吃晚饭(come to our home for dinner)，女士说这个星期有芬兰来的客人（visitors from Finland）要招待，可能要下个星期去。因为女士这个星期有客人，所以女士不能接受男士的邀请。故正确答案为B)。
12. M: I hope I won’t oversleep. I’ve simply got to catch the first flight to New York.
W: If I were you, I’d request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.
Q: What does the woman advise the man do?
【解析】D)。四个选项都是不定式，由此可以推断，本题的内容可能是目的或者动作。 女士说，如果我是你(If I were you)，就会要旅店提供叫醒电话(wake-up call)。由此可见，女士建议男士ask for a wake-up call，正确答案为D)。
13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.
W: I don’t think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.
Q: What can we learn from this conversation?
【解析】B)。四个选项都更侧重男士方面，由此暗示对话当中应该更加注意与男士相关的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡个午觉(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon)，但女士说Mr. Smith已经在门口停车，马上就来了(parked his car at the door，he is coming up)。由此可以推断，男士今天不能睡午觉了(won’t be able to enjoy a nap)。故正确答案为B)。
14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?
M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.
Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?
【解析】B)。四个选项都是有关George和工作的关系，对工作的看法和态度，由此可以推测，本题的内容是关于George和工作的。 George的工作现在做得不错(doing fine)。虽然他想过换工作(planned to change his job)，但是他决定保留现有的工作(keep the present one)。故正确答案为B)。
15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen’s office.
M: Good morning. I’d like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I’d like to have it done this week if possible.
Q: Who is the woman?
【解析】C)。四个选项都是表示身份的词，由此可以推测，本题的内容是关于某人的身份。男士要和牙医预约洗牙和检查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可见，女士应该是牙医诊所的接待员(receptionist)。故C)为正确答案。
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)。四个选项都是有关女士和教授之间的关系，由此可以推测，本问题的内容是关于女士和教授的学习和工作的。男士说教授这个学期很忙(very busy this semester)，每天工作到深夜(works till midnight every day)。女士回答说如果早知道是这么忙就不会那样麻烦他了(wouldn’t have troubled him)。由此可以推测女士很后悔占用了教授很长时间(regrets having taken up much of the professor’s time)。故D)为正确答案。
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)。四个选项都是表示地点场景的短语，由此可以推断，本题是考查关于某件事情发生的地点。 女士推荐说配特制酱汁的蛤蜊(The clams with our special sauce)很不错，蛤蜊是刚从海里捕上来的(fresh from the ocean)。由此可见本对话发生在餐馆(restaurant)，故正确答案为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)。四个选项都是They可能会做出的选择，由此可以推断，本题是考查关于某些人即将做出的决定。女士觉得应该找一间大一点的房子(look for a bigger house)，但目前又承担（afford）不起。男士指出了负担不起的原因，今年花了钱在买汽车上(spent so much money on our car)。由此可见，他们无法换一间大点的房子，因为钱不够(don’t have enough money)。故正确答案为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)。【解析】四个选项均为现在完成进行时态，由此可以推断，本题考查的内容可能是某人最近一段时间发生的事情或者持续的状态。女士解释说，抱歉，昨天没有来上课(missing class)。男士说，并不仅仅是昨天，一共上过6次课，已经缺了4次。由此可见女士的问题在于并没有每天都来上课(hasnt been attending class every day)。故正确答案为B)。
20. How many classes has the woman attended?
A)。【解析】四个选项均为数字，由此可以推测，本题的考查内容是关于数字的。 从男士的话中可知，一共上过6次课，女士一共缺了4次(missed 4)。相减得到女士上课的次数为2次。故正确答案为A)。
21. What does the woman decide to do?
C)。【解析】四个选项均为不定式，由此可以推测，本题考查的内容可能是关于某个决定。女士说如果可行，就决定退课(drop the class)。可见女士打算放弃这门课程，故正确答案为C)。
Conversation Two
W: Dr.Thomas? This is Keet Bradley from the daily news.(22)I’d like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.
M: I’d be happy to help you. What would you like to know?
W: First of all, how was the standard weight used?
M: Well, the people in our department (23)use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. It’s our responsibility to see that (23)all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales.
W: How did you check the scales before?
M: We have an old standard weight that we used to use.(24)It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.
W: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.
M: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.
W: How much did it cost?
M: About 45 thousand dollars.
W: 45,000 dollars? For one kilogram weight? That’s more expensive than gold.(25)Is it really worth that much?
M: (25)I’m sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What is the conversation mainly about?
B)。【解析】四个选项均为概括性比较强的短语，由此可以推测，本题考查的内容很有可能是对话的主题。由metals，measuring weight，metric等词推测，对话可能与金属或其他某种事物的度量有关系。 女士说她想问男士几个关于新度量衡的问题(new official standard weight)，由此揭示对话谈论的主题是关于衡量重量标准的单位。
23. What was the standard weight used to do?
A)。【解析】四个选项均为不定式，由此可以推测，本题考查的内容可能是目的或行为。男士说他们用新标准度量衡来检测全国的天平(scales)，他们有责任利用它来确保所有的天平都能够准确地测量1公斤的重量(measure a kilogram accurately)。
24. Why was it necessary to replace the old standard weight?
C)。【解析】四个选项均描述某件事物的缺点或问题，由此可以推测，本题考查的内容可能是某件事物的弊端。 男士说旧天平会被取代是因为它不够精准(imprecise)，制造材料低劣(made of poor quality metal)。故正确答案为C)。
25. What does Dr.Thomas probably think about the cost of the new weight?
C)。【解析】四个选项均为对某件事物价值的描述，由此可以推测，本题考查的内容可能是对某件事物价值的评价。女士问男士新度量衡是否物有所值(worth that much)，男士说确定如此。由此可以推断男士认为新度量衡是物有所值的。故正确答案为C)。
Section B
Passage One
Jim Thorpe was an American Indian, born on May 28, 1888 in Oklahoma.(26) When he had his education at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania,his athletic coach considered him a splendid athlete and encouraged him to concentrate on sports. From then on, Thorpe participated in almost every aspect of athletics. Whenever he competed in any event, he easily won first place.
In the years that followed, he took part in football games against such renowned teams as Harvard and West Point. Thorpe again and again brought his team to victory. In 1912 he was invited to compete in the Olympic Games in Stockholm. There he excelled in several tack events and was presented with first place gold medals. He was the first athlete to capture first place awards in so many track events.
When Thorpe returned home from the Olympic Games,(27)he was welcomed with parades and celebration. The president called him the highest type of citizen.(28)However, this was all short-lived because it was found out that at one time Thorpe had been a professional athlete. Since an athlete must be an amateur in order to participate in the Olympic Games, Thorpe did not qualify. Therefore, all of his medals were taken away from him.
In later years, Thorpe played baseball and football professionally. His admirers often tried to have his medals returned to him, but in vain. Thorpe died a lonely man in California on May 28, 1953.Today, as always, many still believe Thorpe was the best athlete that ever lived.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Where was Thorpe’s athletic talent discovered?
C)。【解析】四个选项都是表示地点的状语，由此可以推测，本题的内容可能跟某件事情发生的地点有关。
早在Thorpe还在Carlisle Indian School上学的时候(had his education at the Carlisle Indian School)，他的体育教练(athletic coach)就发现了他卓越的运动才能(splendid athlete)，并鼓励他专心从事运动(concentrate on sports)。故正确答案为C)。
27. How did American people receive Thorpe when he came back from Stockholm in 1912?
B)。【解析】四个选项都是They开头，都是对待某人的态度，由此可以推测，本题的内容可能是关于一些人怎么对待某个人的。 当Thorpe 1912年从Stockholm回来的时候，美国人民为他举行了游行(parades)和庆祝(celebration)。故正确答案为B)。
28. Why were Thorpe’s medals taken away from him?
D)。【解析】四个选项都是Because开头的，由此可以推测，本题的内容是关于某件事情发生的原因。按照当时的规则，参加奥林匹克运动会的运动员必须是业余选手(an amateur)，Thorpe曾经是职业选手(professional athlete)，这并不符合规定，所以他的奖牌被收回(taken away)。故正确答案为D)。
Passage Two
About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical words. When there is a new invention of discovery, a new word may be coined after the inventor or scientist.
It is interesting to observe how many common English words have found their way into the language from the names of people. For example, “sandwich”, you may eat everyday. Lord Sandwich who lived from 1718 to 1792 used to sit at the gambling table eating slices of bread with meat in between. This kind of eating tastes delicious.(29)As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friends began to call the”bread-Sandwich”for fun. Later on the word became part of the English language.
The word “boycott” means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. This word is another example. The word comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland.(30)But the Captain was a very harsh man. He treated his poor tenants very badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. (31)Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed. The word “boycott” became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Who coined the word “sandwich”?
【解析】C)。四个选项都是关于人物的词，由此可以推测，本题内容与人物有关。 由于Lord Sandwich是他的朋友里面唯一一个那样吃面包的人(only one among his friends who ate bread in that way)，他的朋友们开始叫这种食物”bread-Sandwich”(Sandwich面包)。可见最初使用sandwich这个词的人是Lord Sandwich的朋友们。
30. What didn’t the tenants like?
【解析】B)。四个选项中有两个是不定式，有两个是人物身份，由此可以推测，本题的内容可能与人物的态度有关系。佃农们都不喜欢Boycott，因为他对待佃农的态度很差(treated his poor tenants very badly)，佃农们于是决定不和他说话(not to speak to him)。故正确答案为B)。
31. What did the landowner do when he found out that the tenants were boycotting his agent?
【解析】A)。四个选项都是He开头描述某人的行动，由此可以推测，本题的内容是关于某个人采取的行动。 当地主发现佃农抵制Captain Boycott后，地主就把他换掉了(the Captain was removed)，故正确答案为A)。
Passage Three
The family is changing.(32) In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
(33)The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in nuclear families men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life.
But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandparents, and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too 
34)women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from unclear families often have to live alone.
(35)Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full time jobs, and they have not much free time.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. Who used to live together in an extended family?
C)。【解析】四个选项都是There be开头描述家庭成员，由此可以推测，本题的内容可能涉及某种类型的家庭当中的家庭成员。过去大家庭当中，会有祖父母、父母和子女，有时家族当中还会有几个兄弟和他们的妻子儿女(two or more brothers with their wives and children)。可见大家庭当中有很多亲戚。故C)为正确答案。
33. What advantages does the nuclear family offer women?
A)。【解析】四个选项都是The women开头描述女性地位的句子，由此可以推测，本题的内容可能是跟女性的地位有关的。小家庭(nuclear family)当中的女性有更多的自由，不用时刻面对各种亲戚(freedom from their relatives)，并且可以参加决策，丈夫不再完全拥有整个家庭的权力(have all the power of the family)。故正确答案为A)。
34. What are some disadvantages of the nuclear family for women?
B)。【解析】四个选项都是关于家庭生活的句子，由此可以推测，本题的内容与家庭生活的某个方面有关。由于女性寿命一般比她们丈夫的寿命长(live longer than their husbands)，所以小家庭的其中一个缺点是，上了年纪的女性经常要一个人孤单地生活(have to live alone)。故正确答案为B)。
35. Why are many women dissatisfied with marriage and the nuclear family?
C)。【解析】四个选项都是They开头表示状态或者决定的句子，由此可以推测，本题的内容是与某一类人的决定或者他们的状态有关。女性对小家庭的不满主要在于她们除了从事工作，回到家还需要做大部分家务(do most of the housework)，很少有自己的空余时间。故正确答案为C)。
