大学英语六级考试12月24日新六级试题(听力部分文字稿)
    Section A
    11. M: I need to find a dentist; you said you know Dr. Smith well, do you recommend her?
    W: Well, I had to see her a few times, but what impressed me most was the magazines in her waiting room.
    Q: What does the woman imply ?
    12. W: I’m afraid I can’t show you the apartment at the moment, because the tenant is still living in it. It’s really a lovely place with a big kitchen and a sunny window for only two hundred dollars a month.
    M: Sounds good, but we really can’t rent an apartment without seeing it first.
    Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
    13. M: So, that’s what’s been keeping you so busy recently!
    W: Yes, I’ve been tied up with (被缠住) my studies. You know I’m planning to go to the United States this coming summer, but I’m a bit nervous about my English.
    Q: What is the woman busy doing ?
    14. W: How did you feel when you found out you had high blood pressure?
    M: Shocked! The problem for me was that there no symptoms (症状); it seemed to have sneaked up on (悄悄接近某人然后突然出现) me.
    Q: What does the man mean?
    15. W: So, you’re just back from a trip to India. What were you doing there?
    M: The trip was intended to bring to the world’s attention the fact that AIDS is not just a
n African disease; it’s also endangering (危及) other countries , notably, India and Thailand.
    Q: What was the purpose of the man’s trip to India?
    16. M: It’s quite clear from my visit this is a full-size comprehensive (综合性的) university. So why is it still called a college?
    W: The College of William and Mary is the second oldest institution of higher learning (高等学府)in this country. We have nurtured (培养,培育) great minds like Thomas Jefferson and we’re proud of our name.
    Q: What do we learn from this conversation about the College of William and Mary?
    17. M: Have the parts we need for the photocopying machine arrived yet?
    W: I ordered them last week, but something is holding them up (耽搁).
    Q: What does the woman say about the part needed for the photocopying machine?
    18. W: The cafeteria provided many kinds of dishes for us today. Did you notice that?
    M: Yes. Kind of (有点) rare, isn’t it?
    Q: What does the man imply?
    Conversation One
    W: Hello, Patrick, is that you?
    M: Yeah Jane, what can I do for you ?
    W: I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming (修剪,剪枝) yesterday. (19)
    M: That was hard work!
    W: I’m sure it was. It sure looked difficult.
    M: Yeah, I’m glad it’s finished. Hauling the branches to the front for garbage pickup was
no fun either.
    W: Well, I don’t think you’re quite finished yet; some of the larger branches fell over into my yard, and I think you should come and get them. (20)
    M: Listen Jane, I don’t see why I should do that. You eat all the apples that fall in your yard and you’ve never complained about that before.
    W: Well, it’s easier to pick up apples than to drag tree branches all the way to the curb. (20) My kids pick up the apples, and the branches are just too big for them to drag.
    M: Well, I guess you’ll just have to do it yourself Jane.
大学英语六级考试内容    W: Patrick, I wish you would reconsider (斟酌,再考虑). We’ve always gotten along fairly well, but I think you’re out of line here. The branches are your responsibility.
    M: Sorry Jane, I disagree! You take the benefits of the apple tree, but refuse to deal with the bad side of it !
