【备考真题训练】2010年6月英语六级听力长对话原文(昂立)

　　以下是2010年6月19日六级答案听力“长对话1原文”：

　　M: I got two letters this morning with Job Office, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy。

　　W: So you’re not sure which to go for?

　　M: That’s it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: the Polytechnic is offering a two year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a year’s contract and that’s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you’ll never know。

　　W: I see. So it’s much less secure. But you don’t need to think too much about steady jobs when you’re only 23.

　　M: That’s true。

　　W: What about the salaries?

　　M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short-term. I’ll be getting equivalent about 22, 000 pounds a year there, but only 20, 000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But only hours are different. At the Polytechnic, I’d have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration whereas the Pistoia School is only asking for 13 hours’ teaching。

　　W: Um。

　　M: Then the type of teaching is so different。

　　W: The Polytechnic’s are all adults and mostly preparation for exams, like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories and a couple of children’s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching。

　　W: Well, that sounds very much more varied interesting. And I’d imagine you’d be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school and moving around quite a bit。

　　M: Yes, whereas at the Polytechnic’s position, I’d been stuck in the school all day。

　　Q19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

　　Q20: What do we learn about the students at the Polytechnic?

　　Q21: What does the woman think of the job at the Language School?

　　六级听力长对话2原文：

　　W: Good evening, and welcome to the tonight’s edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean-- actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Nervy is the author of a new biography of Dean. Good evening, Edward!

　　M: Hello, Tina!

　　W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean’s early life。

　　M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn’t there long, though, because his mother passed away just four years later. James’ father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt。

　　W: So how did he get into acting?

　　M: Well, first he acted in plays of high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951, he moved to New York to more stage acting。

　　W: Then when did his movie career really start?

　　M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one-- Rebel without Cause. That was about teenagers who felt like they didn’t fit into the society。

　　W: So how many more movies did he make?

　　M: Just one more. Then he died in a car crash in California in 1955.

　　W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies. So what made him the legend he still is today?

　　M: Well, I guess is his looks, his acting ability, his short life and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people thought him as a symbol of American youth。

　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard:

　　Question 22: What is the woman doing?

　　Question 23: Why did James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young?

　　Question 24: What does the man say James Dean did at college in California?
