[00:04.44]Model Test Six
[00:12.23]Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
[00:15.67]Section A
[00:17.95]Directions: In this section,
[00:21.20]you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
[00:25.61]At the end of each conversation,
[00:28.26]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
[00:31.86]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
[00:36.77]After each question there will be a pause. During the pause,
[00:39.96]you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
[00:46.89]and decide which is the best answer.
[00:49.52]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer
[00:53.58]Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
[00:57.33]Now, let’s begin with the eight short conversations.
[01:01.83]11. W: Why are you leaving so early?
[01:06.46]The movie doesn’t start till seven.
[01:09.09]M: I don’t want to be in the traffic there.
[01:12.05]It’s a nightmare on the expressway during rush hours.
[01:15.68]Q: What can be inferred about the man?
[01:36.08]12. W: I know why that child has grown so tall by the age of four.
[01:42.30]His mother requires him to drink a cup of milk
[01:45.83]every night before going to bed.
[01:48.99]M: It may not be the reason.
[01:51.08]The child’s father is 2 meters tall.
[01:54.27]Q: Why has the child grown so tall according to the man?
[02:15.77]13. M: Step a little bit over to the boat and wear a little more smile.
[02:22.08]You look gorgeous. Just keep this pose.
[02:25.83]Ready? I will press the shutter25.
[02:28.89]W: Just wait a moment.
[02:30.42]I want to hold my small cat in my arms.
[02:34.21]Q: What are the two speakers doing?
[02:54.27]14. W: I can’t find the kind of jogging shoes
[02:59.07]I want anywhere in town.
[03:01.12]M: Why not order from the Internet?
[03:03.61]It’s easier than running around town looking for them.
[03:07.24]Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
[03:28.44]15. M: How did Mr. Hunt’s project turn out?
[03:34.48]I heard he had difficulties,
[03:36.85]but then he could get the loan he wanted.
[03:39.70]W: It’s true. He did have difficulties at first.
[03:43.11]But all in all, the project couldn’t have turned out better.
[03:47.01]Q: What happened to Mr. Hunt’s project?
[04:08.80]16. W: I’d really like to go to the concert tonight,
[04:14.42]but I don’t know if I can spare the time.
[04:17.01]M: Music is always relaxing to me.
[04:19.91]It might be worth it in the long run.
[04:22.17]Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
[04:43.46]17. M: Your math score is so low.
[04:49.31]When was the last time you passed the math exam?
[04:52.74]W: It was before Michael transferred to another school.
[04:56.54]He has been so helpful that I simply cannot understand all
[05:00.15]those math principles without him.
[05:02.94]Q: What does the woman most probably mean?
[05:24.75]18. M: Do you have a seat for the concert tomorrow?
[05:30.07]W: No seats at all,
[05:31.94]but we sell standing room tickets two hours before the performance.
[05:36.60]Q: What does the woman mean?
[05:57.56]Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
[06:00.65]Conversation One
[06:03.78]W: I am so worried about Mark these days.
[06:07.06]Ever since he moved into his own apartment he's been losing weight.
[06:12.86]He doesn't look well at all.
[06:15.49]M: He really should try to gain some weight.
[06:18.99]He's probably not eating enough. Have you talked to him about it?
[06:24.13]W: Yes, but well... Noticed Tim?
[06:28.83]M: Oh, he has us worried, too. He has really been getting much too fat.
[06:35.72]He needs to lose about 70 pounds now.
[06:39.33]W: Yeah. That's a lot of weight to lose.
[06:42.61]But if he keeps eating too much cake and candy, there's no way to...
[06:48.61]M: Well, he should go on a diet.
[06:51.57]Eat more vegetables and fruits, less sweets and meat.
[06:56.05]W: I keep telling him to, but he doesn't listen to me.
[06:59.77]M: Maybe Mark should talk to him.
[07:02.94]W: Maybe. Did I tell you that he needs two packs of cigarettes a day?
[07:09.18]M: Hmmm, that's probably why he's so thin.
[07:13.00]You know, if he gave them up, he would gain weight. I know he would.
[07:19.35]I put on a lot of weight when I stopped years ago.
[07:22.84]W: Yes, we should try to persuade him to stop.
[07:27.22]But Tim has another problem—even worse.
[07:31.26]He drinks soda. Soda for lunch, dinner, after dinner.
[07:37.07]M: Well, Mark never likes that. I think Tim does need exercise.
[07:42.31]W: But he's so lazy, never plays any sports.
[07:47.02]And whenever I tell him to take a walk, he just gets angry.
[07:51.94]M: Mark doesn't exercise, either. He just works so hard.
[07:56.31]No time to exercise or relax.
[07:59.27]I wish he could find a nice girlfriend to relax and have fun with.
[08:06.05]W: Tim has a girlfriend. But she can't cook!
[08:09.77]M: Well, they're 30-year-old boys, and they just don't think they need our advice anymore.
[08:17.53]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[08:24.54]19. What is the reason that Mark gets so thin?
[08:47.15]20. What is the worse problem about Tim?
[09:04.26]21. What can we infer from the conversation?
[09:27.54]Conversation Two
[09:29.61]W: Good evening and welcome to tonight’s program.
[09:33.88]Our guest is the world-renowned Dr. Charles Adams,
[09:37.82]who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years
[09:42.42]for his research in the area of language learning. His new book,
[09:48.10]Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast,
[09:51.38]has been on the best seller list for the past six weeks.
[09:55.86]Welcome to our program.
[09:58.17]M: Ah, it’s a pleasure to be here.
[10:00.79]W: Now, Dr. Adams. Tell us about the title of your book,
[10:03.71]Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast.
[10:06.70]M: Well, one of the most important keys to learning
[10:10.21]another language is to establish a regular study program,
[10:14.43]like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.
[10:18.12]W: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting in the book?
[10:22.43]M: Well, as I just mentioned,
[10:24.75]people need to plan out their study by setting realistic
[10:28.40]and attainable26 goals from the beginning. And small steps,
[10:33.09]little by little, are the key.
[10:35.62]W: Now you mentioned something about maximizing your
[10:38.66]learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles.
[10:43.63]Can you elaborate on that?
[10:45.78]M: Sure. People often have different ways of
[10:49.19]learning and approach learning tasks differently.
[10:52.31]Some people are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns
[10:56.94]they are expected to learn; others are auditory learners
[11:00.72]who favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them.
[11:04.91]W: Well, Dr. Adams. What is your learning style?
[11:08.51]M: Well, I’m a very tactile27 learner.
[11:11.79]W: You mean one who learns through hands-on experience?
[11:15.35]M: Exactly.
[11:17.23]W: Okay. We have just heard from Dr. Charles Adams, author of the book,
[11:22.67]Learning Languages over Eggs and Toast. Thanks for joining us.
[11:27.13]M: My pleasure.
[11:28.57]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[11:35.14]22. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?
[12:00.40]23. According to the man,
[12:04.05]what is the important point in learning a foreign language?
[12:26.36]24. What does the man suggest in his book?
[12:48.55]25. What can we learn about the learning style from the conversation?
[13:13.53]Section B
[13:14.97]Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages.
[13:21.70]At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.
[13:26.38]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.
[13:31.52]After you hear a question,
[13:34.08]you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
[13:40.99]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer
[13:44.33]Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
[13:47.42]Passage One
[13:49.61]Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness,negligence,or ignorance.
[13:56.36]Forest fire prevention, therefore,
[13:59.15]is mainly a problem of creating a better understanding of the importance of forests,
[14:05.43]an awareness28 of the danger of fire in the woods,
[14:08.93]and a sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger.
[14:14.21]This is not an easy job. A city dweller29, used to paved streets,
[14:19.46]does not easily change his smoking habits when he goes into the woods.
[14:24.50]Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year.
[14:29.66]Many of these are started when cigarette butts30 and
[14:33.34]matches are tossed from automobiles31.Others are caused by hunters,
[14:38.32]hikers,fishermen,or woods workers who
[14:41.79]are careless in disposing of their smoking materials.
[14:45.13]The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests that
[14:50.60]prohibit smoking except in certain designated areas.
[14:54.41]Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles.
[14:59.60]The prevention of smoker-caused fires,however,
[15:03.76]depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of
[15:08.73]people who smoke in hazardous32 areas.
[15:11.91]The most important natural cause of fire is lightning.
[15:15.35]This accounts for 11% of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation.
[15:21.64]In the Western States,
[15:23.54]lightening causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East.
[15:28.92]Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping33 forest protection forces to know
[15:34.58]when to be alert for lightning-caused fires.
[15:37.73]Adequate and well-equipped forces can control them quickly and hold
[15:42.86]the damage to a minimum.
[15:44.67]Experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds to prevent or
[15:48.89]control the lightning itself have been in progress for many years,
[15:53.30]but new breakthroughs are needed for any significant
[15:56.84]reduction in the lightning strikes.
[15:59.58]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[16:04.80]26.What is the solution to prevent smoker-caused forest fires?
[16:30.53]27.How can lightning-caused fires be controlled quickly?
[16:54.97]28.What can we learn from the passage?
[17:18.62]Passage Two
[17:20.15]The best interview is one in which
[17:23.37]there is two-way communication between the employer and the job applicant.
[17:27.94]Often there is some “small talk” at the beginning of the interview,
[17:32.18]which is actually very important,
[17:34.72]because the applicant’s answers may indicate how easily
[17:38.04]the person can converse34.
[17:39.75]A job seeker who appears unfriendly or unsociable may not be offered a position,
[17:46.03]even if the person is the most qualified.
[17:49.10]Employers look for people who seem to be likeable and
[17:52.78]easy to work with as well as technically35 competent.
[17:56.01]The first few minutes of the interview are very important when
[17:59.94]it comes to making a good impression.
[18:01.98]A smile and handshake are expected after
[18:05.01] the job applicant walks into the prospective36 employer’s office.
[18:08.95]In addition, the applicant must
[18:11.51]pay attention to certain areas related to personal appearance.
[18:15.57]During the interview,
[18:17.48]a supervisor37 or manager will ask the applicant questions
[18:21.55]that must be answered fully18 but without excessive detail.
[18:25.61]It is important to watch the employer’s face for nonverbal cues as to
[18:30.95]whether enough has been said.
[18:32.79]Some people may have difficulty answering certain questions
[18:37.02]because of their cultural perspectives.
[18:39.26]In cultures where humility and modesty are virtues38,
[18:43.02]the question, “what are your strengths?” could be embarrassing.
[18:47.26]In many cultures, like several Asian cultures,
[18:50.97]people are taught not to talk or boast about their individual accomplishments39.
[18:56.20]Yet, during an interview,
[18:58.48]an employer often wants the job applicant to
[19:01.73]talk about his or her accomplishments.
[19:04.01]In an American interview,
[19:06.36]applicants must learn to present themselves in the most positive light.
[19:10.98]This is a challenge for many people from other countries.
[19:15.39]Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[19:21.17]29. What can we learn from the passage?
[19:45.03]30. How should the job applicant behave during the interview?
[20:08.71]31. Why it is difficult for some Asians
[20:13.93]to give positive comments on themselves?
[20:35.50]32.What’s the main point discussed in the passage?
[20:58.69]Passage Three
[21:01.17]A lot of people don’t like to give waiters extra money—a tip,
[21:06.38]but maybe those people don’t understand about the waitresses and waiters.
[21:11.20]You, see, we get very low wages, most of the time less than the minimum wage.
[21:18.23]We count on the tips as part of our salary.
[21:21.35]If waiters and waitresses didn’t get tips,
[21:24.67]they wouldn’t get enough money to live.
[21:27.11]People ask me, “What is a good tip?”
[21:29.95]I like to get 15% of the bill.
[21:33.11]So if a customer has to pay $20.00 for her dinner,
[21:36.80]I like to get about $3.00 for a tip.
[21:39.64]Sometimes I expect 20% if I did a lot of work for the customer.
[21:45.05]For example, if I got her a special kind of food or recipe from the chef.
[21:50.55]But do you know something?
[21:52.27]Very often it’s the person you work the most for
[21:55.65]who gives you the smallest tips.
[21:57.80]But to tell the truth, I do pretty well with the tips.
[22:01.27]I am a friendly person, so people like me.
[22:04.34]They talk to me during their meal and leave me a good tip.
[22:08.06]Of course some people prefer a quiet waitress and every once in a
[22:12.90]while I get some pretty small tips or no tip at all.
[22:16.81]Once I looked up “tipping” in a dictionary.
[22:19.40]It says that the letters in the word “tip” stand for “to insure promptness”.
[22:25.00]In other words, to make sure we do things right away.
[22:28.75]The dictionary says that no one knows if that is the real meaning of “tip”,
[22:33.25]but it makes sense to me.
[22:35.03]If we know a regular customer is a good tipper,
[22:38.00]then we make sure he gets good service.
[22:40.94]Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[22:46.72]33. Why are tips so important to waiters or waitresses?
[23:11.28]34. How can a waiter get more tips?
[23:35.34]35. What does the passage mean to imply?
[23:57.62]Section C
[23:59.97]Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.
[24:05.50]When the passage is read for the first time,
[24:08.41]you should listen carefully for its general idea.
[24:11.75]When the passage is read for the second time,
[24:15.19]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from
[24:18.80]36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard.
[24:23.20]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46
[24:28.17]you are required to fill in the missing information.
[24:31.58]For these blanks, you can either use the exact words
[24:36.30]you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.
[24:40.87]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,
[24:45.40]you should check what you have written.
[24:47.78]Now listen to the passage.
[24:50.71]The Supreme Court of the United States made an important rule in 1954.
[24:56.87]It was that public schools needed to be integrated.
[25:00.81]Children of all races were to be enrolled in the same schools.
[25:05.93]There would be no more black schools or white schools.
[25:09.41]That was the intent of the law.
[25:12.07]Some schools chose to close their eyes and ignore the law.
[25:16.44]The University of Mississippi was one of those schools.
[25:20.84]There were no black students.
[25:23.13]They were supported by the state government and the governor’s office.
[25:27.72]James Meredith had joined the Air Force after high school.
[25:31.79]After leaving the military,
[25:34.01]he realized that the only way he would be able to
[25:36.73]fulfill his desire for a good education was to go to college.
[25:41.13]He also realized that the same quality of education offered to
[25:45.45]white students was not available to him.
[25:48.63]He decided that the only place he could receive the education
[25:52.04]he wanted was to enroll in the University of Mississippi.
[25:56.67]Meredith sent several applications to the university.
[26:00.61]Each time he applied, he was denied.
[26:04.20]There was a reason given for each denial,
[26:07.23]but James Meredith did not believe any of the excuses.
[26:11.45]He wrote to the president of the university that
[26:14.55]he was ready to pursue his dream and would not back off.
[26:18.27]However, the governor of Mississippi still believed
[26:22.78]that the races should not be mixed.
[26:25.49]In fact, he went so far as to state that no Mississippi
[26:29.71]school would be integrated as long as he was the governor.
[26:33.83]It was 1962. There was a new kind of president, sitting in Washington,
[26:39.90]D.C. His name was John F. Kennedy.
[26:43.18]He had promised to support civil rights in his campaign for president.
[26:47.88]Because of his stand for civil rights,
[26:50.19]he had received many black votes in the election.
[26:53.35]Now the passage will be read again.
[26:57.10]The Supreme Court of the United States made an important rule in 1954.
[27:04.07]It was that public schools needed to be integrated.
[27:08.01]Children of all races were to be enrolled in the same schools.
[27:13.01]There would be no more black schools or white schools.

[27:23.86]The University of Mississippi was one of those schools.
[27:27.83]There were no black students.
[27:30.30]They were supported by the state government and the governor’s office.
[27:34.86]James Meredith had joined the Air Force after high school.
[27:38.90]After leaving the military,
[27:41.05]he realized that the only way he would be able to fulfill
[27:44.27]his desire for a good education was to go to college.
[27:48.15]He also realized that the same quality of education offered to
[27:52.52]white students was not available to him.
[27:55.77]He decided that the only place he could receive the education
[27:59.34]he wanted was to enroll in the University of Mississippi.
[28:03.84]Meredith sent several applications to the university.
[28:07.78]Each time he applied, he was denied.

[31:15.43]Because of his stand for civil rights,
[31:17.68]he had received many black votes in the election.
[32:31.62]Now the passage will be read for the third time.
