been a Market Research Consultant?W:Well,I started straight after finishing university.M:Did you study market research?W:Yeah,and it really helped me to get into the industry,but I have to say that its more important to getexperience in different types of market research to find out exactly what youre interested in.M:So what are you interested in?W:2Well,at the moment,I specialize in quantitative advertising research,which means that I do two typesof projects.3Trackers,which are ongoing projects that look at trends or customer satisfaction over along period of time.The only problem with trackers is that it takes up a lot of your time.But you do build up.a good relationship with the client.I also do a couple of ad-hoc jobs which are much shorter projects.M:What exactly do you mean by ad-hoc jobs?W:Its basically when companies need quick answers to their questions about their consumershabits.They justask for one questionnaire to be sent out,for example,so the time you spend on an ad-hoc project tends to befairly short.M:Which do you prefer,trackers or ad-hoc?W:I like doing both and in fact I need to do both at the same time to keep me from going crazy.I need the variety.M:Can you just explain what process you go through with a new client?W:Well,together we decide on the methodology and the objectives of the research.I then design a questionnaire.Once the interviewers have been briefed,I send the client a schedule and then they get back to me with.deadlines.Once the final charts and tables are ready,I have to check them and organize a presentation.M:Hmm.One last question,what do you like and dislike about your job?W:4As I said,variety is important and as for what I dont like,it has to be the checking of charts andtables.:1.What position does the woman hold in the company?2.What does the woman specialize in at the moment?3.What does the woman say about trackers?4.What does the woman dislike about her job?1.D【听前预测】四项均为名词短语,均与工作职位相关,且两项提及市场方面的工作(marketing manager,market research consultant)。推测该题以what进行提问,可能是对某人的职位进行考查,涉及市场工作。听音时,应重点关注与工作或职位相关的内容,同时留意与四个选项提到的职位相关的信息。【解析】在对话一开始,男士就问女士做市场研究顾问多长时间了,女士说自己从大学一毕业就开始做这一行。由此可知,女士在公司担任的职位是市场研究顾问,选项D为正确答案。market researchconsultant.是原词复现。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。2.A【听前预测】四项均为名词短语,内容均与某项具体工作相关,其中两项提到了表示研究的词语2016年6月六级真题(第一套)(research)。推测该题也是以what开头进行提问,可能考查某人所做的具体工作,涉及某项研究。听音时应重点关注与研究相关的工作。【解析】在对话中,当女士谈到自己的专业时,她说所学的专业帮助自己进入市场研究顾问这一行业,但是对她来说,在不同类型的市场研究中获取经验从而弄清楚自己真正的兴趣所在是更为重要的,男士接着问女士对什么感兴趣,女士回答说自己目前专业从事量化广告研究方面的工作。由此可知,选项A为正确答案。B、C两项对话中虽都有提及,但都是女士所做工作的具体细节;对话中提及了采访者在采访之前会了解基本情况,但没有提及培训,故D项不符合对话内容。3.D【听前预测】四项均以hey开头,其中两项提到了表示研究的词语(studies,study),两项提到了顾客(customers,customer),一项提到了人们的消费习惯(peoples spending habits)。该题考查的内容可能与对顾客消费习惯的研究有关。听音时,应先弄清楚hy的指代对象,同时关注与研究、顾客和消贵习惯有关的内容,并将重,点放在各个选项的关健词上,然后根据问题作出进一步的判断。【解析】在对话中,女士在回答男士自己对什么感兴趣时提到,自己目前专业从事量化广告研究,也就是在做两种类型的项目。一种是跟踪研究,针对进展中的项目,长期观察其发展趋势或顾客的满意度。由此可知,选项D为正确答案。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。4.B【听前预测】四项均为名词短语,两项内容与工作的负面性相关(lack of promotion opportunity、persistentintensity),两项的内容涉及工作的具体细节(checking charts and tables,designing questionnaires)。该题可能以what进行提问,可能是对某项工作不好的方面或者具体细节进行考查。【解析】在对话的最后,男士问女士对于自己的工作,喜欢和不喜欢的方面分别是什么,女士回答说,她觉得工作的多样性很重要,至于不喜欢的方面就得说是检查图表和表格了。由此可知,选项B为正确答案。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。Conversation TwoW:Hello.Im here with Frederick.Now Fred,you went to university in Canada?M:Yeah,thats rightW:5OK,and you have very strong views about universities in Canada.Could you please explain?M:Well,we dont have private universities in Canada.6Theyre all public.All the universities are owned bythe government,so there is the Ministry of Education in charge of creating the curriculum for theuniversities and so theres not much room for flexibility.Since its a government-operated institution,.things dont move very fast.If you want something to be done,then their staff do not have so much incentiveto help you because hes a worker for the government.So I dont think its very efficient.However,there arecertain advantages of public universities,such as the fees being free.You dont have to pay for your education.But the system isnt efficient,and it does not work that well.W:Yeah,I can see your point.But in the United States we have many private universities,and I think theyrelarge bureaucracies also.Maybe people dont act that much differently,because its the same thing workingfor a private university.They get paid for their job.I dont know if theyre that much more motivated to helppeople.Also,we have a problem in the United States that usually only wealthy kids go to the best schools andits kind of a problem actually.M:7I agree with you.I think its a problem because youre not giving equal access to education toeverybody.Its not easy,but having only public universities also might not be the best solution.Perhaps wecan learn from Japan where they have a system of private and public universities.Now,in Japan,publicuniversities are considered to be the best.W:Right.Its the exact opposite in the United States.M:8So,as you see,its very hard to say which one is better.W:Right,a good point.5.What does the woman want Frederick to talk about?6.What does the man say about the curriculum in Canadian universities?7.On what point do the speakers agree?8.What point does the man make at the end of the conversation?5.【听前预测】四项均以his开头;两项提到了大学(universities),其中一项是加拿大的大学,另一项是美国的大学;两项提到了高等教育(higher education);三项分别提到了表示观,点、理解和建议的词语(view,understanding,suggestions)。该题可能考查与男士有关的信息,涉及他对加拿大或者美国的高等2016年6月六级真题(第一套)10教育的观,点、看法或理解。听音时,应重点关注与男士有关的信息,同时留意四个选项的关键词,最后根据问题作出进一步的判断。【解析】在对话一开始,女士问男士是不是在加拿大读的大学,在得到肯定回答后,女士说男士对于加拿大的大学有着非常鲜明的观,点,希望男士解释一下。于是男士接着谈了加拿大大学的特点和自己的看法。由此可知,选项A为正确答案。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。6.B【听前预测】四项均以it开头;两项提到了与调整、改变相关的词语(rather inflexible,changes).;一项提到了大学(universities)。该题对it的相关信息进行考查,推测it是与大学相关的某方面内容,可能与其是否可改变有关。【解析】在对话中,当女士让男士解释自己对于加拿大大学的观点和看法时,男士说加拿大没有私立大学,所有大学都是公立的,都为政府所有。所以,大学的课程都是由教育部负责制定,导致没有太多灵活调整的余地。由此可知,选项B为正确答案,inflexible是对对话中的there is not much room forflexibility的同义转述。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。7.C【听前预测】三项提到了与大学教育相关的内容,其中两项提到了公立大学和私立大学(Publicuniversities,.private universities),并将二者的特征进行了比较(are often superior to,.work more efficientlythan);一项提到了平等接受高等教育(should be given equal access to higher education)。推测该题考查的内容可能与高等教育有关,可能涉及公立学校和私立学校的教育情况,也可能涉及接受高等教育的机会。【解析】在对话中,当男士说完加拿大大学的情况之后,女士接着说了美国大学的情况,并说在美国只有富裕家庭的孩子才能进入最好的学校,这实际上也是一个问题。男士接着说自己同意女士的观点,他也认为女士所说的情况确实是个问题,因为美国并没有给每个人平等的入学机会。由此可知,在每个人都该得到接受高等教育的公平机会这一点上两位说话者观点一致,故选项C为正确答案。其他三项对话中均未明确提及,都不是两个人一致同意的观,点,均可排除。C【听前预测】两项提到了大学的教育体系或者管理(university systems,.university management).,一项同时提到了公立和私立大学(a public university or a private one),一项提到了私立大学的情况(Manyprivate universities.are actually large bureaucracies)。该题可能考查大学的情况,可能涉及大学的教育体系或者管理,也可能涉及公立或私立大学的情况。【解析】在对话中,男士提到加拿大的大学都是公立大学,女士则提到美国有很多的私立大学。之后,男士又说日本有着私立和公立大学并存的教育体系,在日本,目前人们普遍认为公立大学是最好的。女士说这一点与美国正好相反。男士总结说,所以很难判断哪一种教育模式更好。由此可知,选项C为正确答案。其他三项在对话中都有提到,但并不是男士的观点,都可排除。Section BPassage One【听力原文】9A recent International Labor Organization report says the deterioration of real wages around theworld calls into question the true extent of an economic recovery,especially if government rescue packages arephased out too early.The report warns the picture on wages is likely to get worse this year despite indications of aneconomic rebound.Patrick Belser,an-International Labor Organization specialist says declining wage rates arelinked to the levels of unemployment.10The quite dramatic unemployment figures,which we now see insome of the countries strongly suggest that there will be greater pressure on wages in the future as morepeople will be unemployed,more people will be looking for jobs and the pressure on employers to raise wages toattract workers will decline.So,we expect that the second part of the year will not be very good in terms of wagegrowth.The report finds more than a quarter of the countries experienced flat or falling monthly wages in realterms.They include the United States,Austria,Costa Rica,South Africa and Germany.International LaborOrganization economists say some nations have come up with policies to lessen the impact of lower wages duringthe economic crisis.An example of these is Work Sharing with government subsidies.11Under this scheme,the number of individual working hours is reduced in an effort to avoid layoffs.For this scheme to work,thegovernment must provide wage subsidies to compensate for lost pay due to the shorter hours.9.What is the International Labor Organizations report mainly about?10.According to an International Labor Organizations specialist,how will employers feel if there are morepeople looking for jobs?11.What does the speaker mean by the Work Sharing scheme?112016年6月六级真题(第一套)【整体预测】快速浏览本部分所有选项,根据Government、.economic crisis、wage、employees、business operations等词可大致推断本文与经济相关,有可能涉及找工作,也有可能涉及工资待遇等内容。听录音时需特别注意相关的内容,注重对短文细节信息的提取。办【解题思路】四项都是名词性短语,且都跟经济相关。本题应该是以what开头的提问,考查的内容可能是某个细节或文章主旨,听录音时应将重点放在四项的关键信息上(governments role,worsening realwage situation,economic recovery,impact on peoples life).【解析】题目问的是国际劳工组织报告的主要内容。短文开头提出,最近的一项国际劳工组织报告称,全世界实际工资状况的恶化令人对经济复苏的真实程度产生质疑。由此可以得出B项为正确答案。A项的关键信息虽然在原文中有提及,但不是该报告的主要内容,故排除;C项在原文中未提及,故排除;D项虽然在原文中也有提及,但不是该报告的主要内容,故也排除。10.A【解题思路】四项均提到hey,且均描述感受,涉及的主要内容包括less pressure、free to choose、inclined to expand和more confident。本题考查的内容应该是文中的细节,通过对选项内容的理解,可推断本题考查的应该是某类人对某种事物的感受问题。听录音时应将重点放在表示感受的内容及关键动词上(raise,choose,expand,competing)。【解析】题目问的是如果有更多的人找工作的话,雇主会有什么样的感受。短文中间部分引用国际劳工组织的专家帕特里克贝尔瑟的话说,未来随着更多的人失业,工资会面临更大的压力,会有更多的人找工作,而且雇主通过提高工资来吸引工人的压力将会下降。由此可以得出A项为正确答案。其他三项表述均与原文内容不符,故排除。11.C【解题思路】四项内容分别涉及员工、公司以及政府的做法。本题考查的内容与员工、公司以及政府的做法有关,听录音时着重听清各方的行为和做法。【解析】题目问的是说话者提到的“工作分享”计划意味着什么。短文的最后部分提到“工作分享”计划时指出,根据这项计划,为了避免裁员,个人的工作时间会缩短。由此可知C项为正确答案。其他三项的表述均与原文内容不符,故排除。Passage Two【听力原文】12Is there really a magic memory pill or a herbal recall remedy?I have been frequently asked ifthese memory supplements work.You know,one of these first things I like to tell people when they ask me aboutthe supplements,is that a lot of them are promoted as a cure for your memory.But your memory doesnt need acure.What your memory needs is a good work-out.So really,those supplements arent going to give you thatperfect memory in the way that they promise.The other thing is that a lot of these supplements arent necessarilywhat they claim to be,and you really have to be wary when you take any of them.13The science isnt therebehind most of them.Theyre not really well-regulated unless they adhere to some industry standard.You dontreally know that what they say is in there,isnt in there.What you must understand is that those supplements,especially in some eastern cultures,are part of a medical practice tradition.People dont just go in a local grocerystore and buy these supplements.14In fact,they are prescribed and theyre given at a certain level,adosage that is understood by a practitioner whos been trained.And thats not really the way theyre used inthis country.The other thing that people do forget is that these are medicines,so they do have an impact.15Alot of times people are not really aware of the impact they have,or the fact that taking them in combinationwith other medications might put you at increased risk for something that you wouldnt otherwise beingcountering or be at risk for.12.What question is frequently put to the speaker?13.What does the speaker say about most memory supplements?14.What do we learn about memory supplements in eastern cultures?15.What does the speaker say about memory supplements at the end?【整体预测】快速浏览本部分所有选项,根据supplements、.herbal medicine、dosage、medications、risks,effect等词可大致推断本文内容与药物有关,并涉及其副作用和风险。此外,根据mmoy可推断,本文很可能与记忆力有关,听录音时需特别注意相关的内容。2016年6月六级真题(第一套)1212.A【解题思路】四项都以whether开头,其中三项都提到memory。本题考查的内容可能是某处细节或文章的主题,听录音时应将重,点放在四项的关键信息上(memory supplements,.herbal medicine,.exercise,.anagic memory)。【解析】题目问的是说话者经常被问到的问题是什么。短文开头就提到是否真的有某种神奇记忆药丸或者某种草药记忆唤醒疗法,人们经常会问“我”这些记忆保健品是否有作用。由此可以得出A项为正确答案。B项只涉及一部分,说法片面,故排除;C项中的“锻炼”虽然在原文中有提及,但这是作者对人们的建议,即提高记忆力所需要的是效果明显的锻炼,故排除;D项的表述与原文内容不符,故排除。13.D【解题思路】四项均以hy开头,其中三项均描述有利方面。本题考查的内容应该是文中的某处细节,通过对选项内容的理解,可推断本题应该是关于某些药物的作用或特点。听录音时应将重点放在四项的关键词上(help the elderly more,beneficial,side effects,real science)。【解析】题目问的是关于大多数记忆保健品,说话者说了什么。短文中间部分提到它们中的大多数背后并没有科学的支撑,由此可以得出D项为正确答案。A项在原文中并未提及,故排除;短文提到,那些保健品真的不会像其承诺的那样,给你完美的记忆力,故B项也不正确,可排除;短文后面提到,保健品也是药品,所以它们肯定有副作用,故C项也不正确,可排除。14.D【解题思路】四项均以they开头,内容涉及的状态和动作分别为available、taken、collected or grown和prescribed。本题考查的是主语hey的某种属性,听录音时应先听清hey的指代对象,并将重点放在各选项的关健词上。【解析】題目问的是关于东方文化中的记忆保健品,我们了解到什么。短文后面提到东方文化时,谈到人们不是只去杂货店买这些保健品,其实他们还有医生的处方。由此可知D项为正确答案。A项的表述与原文内容不符,故排除;文中提到会有一定的剂量,但并未说是大剂量,故排除B项;C项的表述在原文中未提及,故排除。15.B【解题思路】四项涉及的内容都与某些事物所带来的结果(后果或效果)有关,比如选项中提到的helpful、entail unnecessary risks、effect和benefited。通过对选项内容的理解,本题考查的内容应该与后果或者影响有关,听录音时应将重点放在四项的关键词上(mental exercise,.unnecessary risks,lasts only ashort time,benefited from)【解析】题目问的是关于记忆保健品,说话者在最后说了什么。短文最后提到,很多时候人们并没有真正意识到它们的副作用,或者与其他药物一同服用可能会增加风险,本来你是不用对抗或者陷入这种危险的。由此可知B项为正确答案。文中并未提及它们跟头脑鞭炼一样有帮助,故A项可排除;C项和D项在原文中都没有提及,故都排除。Section CRecording One【听力原文】The negative impacts of natural disasters can be seen everywhere.In just the past few weeks,the world haswitnessed the destructive power of earthquakes in Indonesia,typhoons in the Philippines,and the destructive seawaves that struck Samoa and neighboring islands.A study by the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters finds that,between 1980 and 2007,nearly 8,400 natural disasters killed more than two-million people.These catastrophic events caused more than$1.5 trillion in economic losses.U.N.weather expert Geoffrey Love says that is the bad news.Over the last 50 years,economic losses haveincreased by a factor of 50.That sounds pretty terrible,but the loss of life has decreased by a factor of 10 simplybecause we are getting better at warning people:We.are making a difference.Extreme events,however,willcontinue to occur.But the message is that they need not be disasters.Love,who is director of Weather and Disaster Risk Reduction at the World Meteorological Organization,says most of the deaths and economic losses were caused by weather,climate,or water-related extremes.Theseinclude droughts,floods,windstorms,strong tropical winds and wildfires.16He says extreme events will continue.But,he says extreme events become disasters only whenpeople fail to prepare for them.1617Many of the remedies are well-known.From a planning perspective,its pretty simple.Buildbetter buildings.Dont build where the hazards will destroy them.From an early-warning perspective,make surethe warnings go right down to the community level.Build community action
