新东方李尚龙:12月英语六级听力真题解析及备考指导

　　对于这次改革，听力部分分值没有发生改变，仍然是35分，也就是710分制的249.5分。语速方面也没有什么太大的改变，考试形式上面还是呈现着多题多卷，也就是说，让作弊的可能性大大减小。这篇文章，我想和大家分享三个话题，一个是四六级改革后改在了什么地方；第二个是，这次听力部分的一些重点内容的解析；第三个是今后的一些复习策略。
　　一. 改革在什么地方：
　　六级的语速没有发生什么变化，仍然是160-180字每分钟，对于语音来说，还是一半英式发音，一半美式发音。整体时间减少了奖金一分多钟，是因为复合式听写今年不用再写长句，而是改成单词和词组。整体难度系数下降，但是得分估计不会有太大的提升，是因为原来的单词长句虽然很难拿到满分，但是只要动手写了，分数至少不会是零分，但是这次却降低了偶然的分的概率。所以，对于考生来说，平时背单词的时候，更加希望能够在听英语的时候，练习一下自己速记和拼写的能力，这个我一会儿再说。
　　第二个改变是很多同学都觉得十分奔溃的，这次四六级考试完全没有任何答题卡填涂时间，以往考试的五分钟填涂答题卡被很多考生拿来作弊，于是今年的取消也让很多不喜欢边听题边涂答题卡的同学很奔溃，导致没时间填涂答题卡，这里特别想跟大家分享，在平时考前的模考，务必加上一项练习：就是边听题目，边填涂答题卡。
　　二．真题解析：
　　对于今年的真题，新东方的团队统计发现至少听力部分存在三套题目，而由于选项的不同，答案更加是千奇百怪，所以，我们更加需要知道，这些题目考察的是什么东西，这里把短对话、长对话的考点和大家分享一下：
　　在读Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre:将近一分钟内容的时候，加上前面试音时间的一分多钟，考生最痛苦的，应该就是这些时间我到底应该看什么地方。我的建议很简单，特别建议大家看看短对话的前8道题和长对话的第一篇，如果你觉得两分多钟的时间不够，那么你真心应该提升一下英语的阅读能力。
　　那长对话第二篇呢，用长对话第一篇问题的时间去看；至于短文听力，可以用另外一个direction去看第一篇，第一篇的问题去看第二篇，第二篇的问题去看第三篇。
　　1. W: What a wonderful performance! Your rock band has never sounded better.
　　M: Many thanks. I guess all those hours of practice in the past month are finally paying off.
　　Q：What does the man mean?
　　答案：D) Their hard work has resulted in a big success.
　　本题再次考察了四六级考试中常考短语pay off（回报），这里使用了 practice….finally paying off 同义词替换了result in a big success(导致了成功)。
　　2.M: I can't decide what to do for my summer vacation. I either want to go on a bike tour of Europe or go diving in Mexico.
　　W: Well, we're offering an all-inclusive two-week trip to Mexico for only 300 dollars.
　　Q：What does the woman suggest the man do for his vacation?
　　答案：B) Join a package tour to Mexico.
　　本题考察了六级考试中非常重要的旅游场景，在首句出现summer vacation 度假； 并且强调了男的either…or…即想去欧洲骑车旅游，又想去墨西哥潜水；而女士明显是中介或者旅游的代理商，强调我们提供一个all inclusive two week trip to Mexico全部包括的两周旅行去墨西哥，仅仅300刀，这里暗示，女士建议男士去墨西哥。
　　3. W: How long do you think this project might take?
　　M: I'd say about three months, but it could take longer if something unexpected happened. Maybe we'd better allow an extra month, so we won't have to worry about being late.
　　Q: Why does the man say extra time should be allowed for the project?
　　答案：B) In case some problem should occur.
　　在短对话中，but后面一般是一个题目的重点，这里的but后面明确写出，将会花更长的时间如果意外发生，这里刚好是男士的想要延长project的意愿，同义句子替换，答案选择B。
　　4. M: I'm thinking about becoming a member here, and I'd like some information.
　　W: Sure. A three-month membership costs 150 dollars, and that includes use of the wait-room, sauna and pool. I'll give you a free pass so that you can try out the facilities before you decide.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
　　答案：C) The man can try out the facilities before he becomes a member.
　　男士在开头的时候说，想要成为会员（member），咨询一下价格；而女士说的后一句为重点：我给你一个免费的通行证去试试这些设施在你决定之前。这里比较重视的是这样两个短语free pass 免费的通行证和try out the facility 尝试一下设施。
　　5. W: I'm sorry to hear that you failed the Physics course, Ted.
　　M: Let's face it. I'm just not cut out to be a scientist.
　　Q:  What does the man mean?
　　答案：A) He is not fit to study science.
　　女士在开头说男士没有通过物理课,fail the course 这里表示挂科，校园场景的重点词汇； 男士说，面对吧，我没有准备成为一个科学家。这里一个很重要的短语：cut out to, 意味着ready to.
　　6.
　　M: Gary insisted on buying the food for the picnic.
　　W: That's pretty generous of him. But shouldn't we at least offer to share the expenses? He has a big family to support.
　　Q: What does the woman suggest they do?
　　答案：C) Pay for part of the picnic food.
　　男士说Gary 坚持在野餐的时候买食物，insist on 为考题中关键短语，意思是坚持。但是女士在对话中再次出现了but, 后面内容再次成为重点：我们不应该至少去分担这个花费嘛，他还有个家庭去支持呢。
　　这里出现 share the expense，在餐厅的场景里面经常使用，顺便再介绍两个六级考试的经典表达方式：split the bill; go Dutch均能表示AA制度。
　　7.
　　W: Did you see the headlines in the paper this morning?
　　M: Yes. Apparently the bus company will be laying off its employees if they can't reach an agreement on wages by midnight.
　　Q: What did the man read about?
　　答案：A) A labor dispute at a bus company.
　　女士说你是否看见了今天报纸的头版头条headline in the paper; 男士说，明显巴士公司将会解雇他们的雇员，如果他们不能在午夜达成工资的协议。这里的替换很巧妙，我们可以从can't reach an agreement on sth, 对什么达成协议感受到他们在dispute争吵。
　　8.
　　W: Have we received payment for the overseas order we delivered last month?
　　M: Yes. The cheque came in yesterday afternoon. I'll be depositing it when I go the bank today.
　　Q: What is the woman concerned about?
　　答案：D) The payment for an order.
　　本题问题是女士concerned about 关心什么，所以问题主要在第一句话：我们是否接收到了上个月我们发送海外订单时候的payment 薪资？ 所以解决了答案。后句中的两个词建议大家有空还是记载以下，cheque=check 支票； deposit 存。
　　各位是否发现，短对话除了最后一题在第一句出题，其余的题目全部在前句出题。而四级考试考来考去全部都是同义词替换，有些同学问我还有没有更多的考试技巧，写这篇文章的时候，我正好的美国，在这一路，我也有很多思考。我忽然发现，在我们四级考试中，只有听力部分是最贴切实际的，因为其中的单词和词组更加贴切于每日的生活，一些短句几乎每天都在都在用，所以，我们再平时训练中更加不应该去为了考试追求过多的考试技巧，相反，我们应该更加注重语言的运用和理解，这些想必对你更重要。
　　Section A Long Conversations
　　长对话综述：长对话仍然还是听到什么选什么的原则，在听音的时候应该做好笔记，方便在听问题时回顾原文内容找答案。
　　Conversation 1
　　W: OK, that's it. Now we have to make a decision. We might as well do that now, don't you think?
