2010年12月英语六级听力原文及答案(2)

【答案】D To be entirely alone.

【解析】对话中can’t even bare anybody else, be completely alone都说明该作家需要独立的写作空间，因此选择D。

21. What does the man say about writers?

【答案】C They look at the world in a detached manner.

【解析】关键词detachment 分离。作家提到作者的经历和写作。虽然说道some experiences overwhelm everyone, 但是后面的but暗示了答案，stand aside、detachment都对应了C选项。 22. What does the woman say about British railways? 【答案】B Like it or not, you have to use them.

【解析】在对话一开始，女士就提到了There’s only one railway system, if you don't like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another. 因为只有一条铁路，即使不喜欢，也只能乘坐，换句话说不论喜欢与否都得用它。因此选择B。

23. What do some people who write to the man complain about? 【答案】D The monopoly of British Railways.

【解析】对话中谈及monopoly，铁路垄断，因此选D。其他选项均未涉及。 24. What does the man say threatens the existence of railways? 【答案】B Competition from other modes of transport.

【解析】对话中modes of transport are all around对应选项B。 25. What does the man say about railways in other countries? 【答案】D They lose a lot of money.

【解析】男士以德、法两国铁路为例，每年铁路都有大量亏损。因此选择D。而B选项中disappearing仅仅是美国的情况。 Section B Passage One 文章解析：

本文是一篇地理科学类文章，有点难度，关键是对一些专有名词的把握。文章开始先指出全球变暖带来最主要的威胁是极地冰盖的融化，并给出了相应的事实和数据加以证明。接着更多例子表明南极洲的冰盖在过去的130万年间至少坍塌过一次。相关高等学府的学者和科学家也相继用实验证明南极洲西部曾是一片汪洋。最后引用Herman Engleheart的话，再次提醒我们，西南极洲大冰原很可能再次融化消失。 其实按常理来说，如果听力文章比较有难度的话，题目的难度相对应会降低。所以大家在遇到此类题型时不必惊慌。提取关键信息、边听边记笔记，运用好背景知识等就能把题目做出来。平时也要注意扩大阅读范围，增长见识。关于环境保护和全球变暖之类的文章屡见不鲜，要求考生在这方面要引起足够的重视。 难点词汇：

West Antarctic ice sheet西南极洲大冰原 ice shelf 冰架 anchored 固定的 fossil 化石 microscopic marine plants 海洋微生物 geological 地质的

答案及解析：

26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage? 【解析】C) Many coastal cities will be covered with water.

【解析】B) How unstable the West Antarctic ice sheet is.

细节题。本题不难。注意关键句 “but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is” 即可得

出答案。

28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet? 【解析】A）It collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years.

细节题。注意提取关键信息 “new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years” 所以选A选项。 29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest?

【解析】A) The West Antarctic region was once a open ocean.

细节题。听力最后的例子说明了这一点“which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice”， 而其他选项都不是最新的发现。 Passage Two

30 B）Whether a deleted photo is immediately removed from the web.

【解析】听力一开始作者就建议我们尝试删除自己上传的照片“Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it.”，由此可知应该选B。 31 B) The way they store data.

【解析】“Why do \websites”，从这句话可知图片之所以不能立即删除跟它们存储的方式有关。 32 C) When the URL is reused.

【解析】“In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused”，从这句话可知只有URL被再次用到才会被删除。 Passage Three 33. A

解析：第一段原文可以找到对应句子，即some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner. 34. B

解析：第一段原文中有对应语句，即Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards. 35. C

47. Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.

There is no denying the fact that it has become a prevailingtrend for some individuals or organizations to rank universities. Taking a lookaround, we can find examples too many to list. To this phenomenon people’sattitudes differ sharply。

Some hold the positive view. They claim that rankinguniversities can help high school graduates or their parents to make a soundchoice when enrolling in a university or college. Besides, this practice canhelp promote the level of higher education as a whole in that many universitieswill exert efforts to elevate their position。

Others, however, hold the opposite view. They point out that theresult of ranking is not always credible, for many individuals or institutionsdo it merely for the purpose of colleting money. Furthermore, some

universitiesoveremphasize the result of ranking and waste large amounts of resources。

Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes. On theone hand, it must be admitted that ranking is an effective means to encourageuniversities or colleges to compete with each other and improve their work. Onthe other hand, it should not be conducted and used in the wrong way。
