In today’s program, we are talking about London Underground trains.The quickest way to get around London is no doubt ‘the tube’, London’s way of saying the Underground train.The tube is made up of twelve lines, each bearing a name and a color on the tube map.For example, the Central Line is red.And as its name suggests, it runs from east to west, taking in central London.The Circle Line is yellow, and is the only line which runs in a complete circle.About 2.5 million people use the tube each day.If you want to travel fast around London, taking the tube will get you to wherever you want quicker than bus or taxi.Trains generally leave every 3 or 4 minutes, less frequently at weekends and late at night.There are maps at each station, as well as inside each train, to make sure that you can see where you are going and that you are on the right train.If you find yourself going in the wrong direction, simply get off at the next station and cross the platform to the other side.Every train will show its direction on the front of the train.So, it is a good idea to look at the train as it is coming into the station.参考答案： 1-5 BACBC 6-10 ACBAC 11-15 AABCC 16-20 BAABC

第三篇：2018年6月英语六级听力真题及原文答案

2018年6月英语六级听力真题及原文答案（第一套全）

Section A Conversation One M: What's all that? Are you going to make a salad? W: No I'm going to make a gazpacho.M: What's that? W: Gazpacho is a cold soup from Spain.It’s mostly vegetables.I guess you could call it a liquid salad.M: Cold soup? Sounds weird.W: It's delicious.Trust me.I tried it for the first time during my summer vacation in Spain.You see, in the south of Spain, it gets very hot in the summer, up to 40°C.So a cold gazpacho is very refreshing.The main ingredients are tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, olive oil and stale bread.M: Stale bread? Surely you mean bread for dipping into the soup? W: No.Bread is crushed and blended in like everything else.It adds texture and thickness to the soup.M: Mm.And is it healthy? W: Sure.As I said earlier it's mostly vegetables.You can also add different things if you like, such as hard-boiled egg or cured ham.M: Cured ham? What’s that?

W: That's another Spanish delicacy.Have you never heard of it? It is quite famous.M: no, is it good too? W: Oh, yeah, definitely.It’s amazing.It’s a little dry and salty, and it's very expensive because it comes from a special type of pig that only eats a special type of food.The harm is covered in salt to dry and preserve it.And left to hang for up to 2 years, it has a very distinct flavor.M: Mm.Sounds interesting.Where can I find some? W: It used to be difficult to get Spanish produce here.But it's now a lot more common.Most large supermarket chains have cured ham in little packets but in Spain you combine a whole leg.M: A whole peg leg? Why would anybody want so much ham? W: In Spain, many people buy a whole leg for special group events, such as Christmas.They cut it themselves into very thin slices with a long flat knife.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.What do we learn about gazpacho? 2.For what purpose is stale bread mixed into gazpacho?

3.Why does the woman think gazpacho is healthy? 4.What does the woman say about cured ham? Conversation Two M: Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.W: Hi, yes.What kind of wine would you like? M: I don't know, sorry.I don't know much about wine.W: That’s no problem at all.What’s the occasion and how much would you like to spend?

M: It's for my boss.It’s his birthday.I know he likes wine, but I don't know what type.I also do not want anything too expensive, maybe mid-range.How much would you say is a mid-range bottle of wine approximately? W: Well, it varies greatly.Our lowest prices are around $6 a bottle, but those are table wines.They are not very special.And I would not suggest them as a gift.On the other end, our most expensive bottles are over $150.If you are looking for something priced in the middle, I would say anything between $30 and $60 would make a decent gift.How does that sound? M: Mm, yeah.I guess something in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good.Which type would you recommend? W: I would say the safest option is always a red wine.They are generally more popular than whites, and can usually be paired with food more easily.Our specialty here are Italian wines, and these tend to be fruity with medium acidity.This one here is a Chianti, which is perhaps Italy's most famous type of red wine.Alternatively, you may wish to try and surprise your boss with something less common, such as the Infantile.The grapes are originally native to Croatia but this winery is in east in Italy and it has a more spicy and peppery flavor.So to summarize, the Chianti is more classical and the Infantile more exciting.Both are similarly priced at just under $40.M: I will go with Chianti then.Thanks.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.What does the woman think of table wines? 6.What is the price range of wine the man will consider? 7.Why does the woman recommend red wines? 8.What do we learn about the wine the man finally bought? Section B Passage One Many people enjoy secret codes, the harder the code the more some people would try to figure it out.In war time, codes are especially important, they help army send news about battles and signs of enemy forces.Neither side wants its code broken by the other.One very important code was never broken, it was used during world war two by the Americans.It was spoken code, never written down and it was developed and used by NH Indians.They were called the NH code talkers.The NH created the codes in their own language.NH was hard to learn and only a few people know it.So it was pretty certain that the enemy would not be able to understand the code talkers.In addition, the talkers used code words.They called a submarine and an iron fish and a small bomb thrown by hand, a potato.If they wanted to spell something, they used code words for letters of the Alphabet.For instance, the letter A was ant or apple or ax, the code talkers worked mostly in the islands in the Pacific.One or two would be assigned a group of soldiers.They would send messages by field telephone to the code talker in the next group.And he would relay the information to his commander.The code talkers played an important part in several battles.They helped the troops coordinate their movements and attacks.After the war, the US governments honored them for what they had accomplished.Theirs was the most successful wartime code ever used.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.What does the speaker say many people enjoy doing? 10.What do we learn about the NH talkers? 11.What is the speaker mainly talking about? Passage Two If you are young and thinking about your career, you want to know where you can make a living, well, this going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge intensive jobs in the next twenty years.Particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills.One is teaching, and the other, health care.You have so many applications and software and platforms, but going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of health care and education sectors, would be radically changed, and lots of jobs will be lost.Now, where will the new jobs be found, well the one sector of the economy that can't be easily duplicated by even small technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector, that is, you can't really get a robot to do a great massage or physical therapy.Or, you can't get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service.There could be very high and personal services, therapist do charge a lot of money, I think there's no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care, people would like if they could afford it.But, the real question in the future is, how come people afford these things if they don't have money, because they can't get a job that pays enough, that's why I wrote this book, which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes, to what we used to consider high income work.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.What does the speaker say will happen in the next twenty years? 13.Where will young people have more chances to find jobs? 14.What does the speaker say about therapist?

15.What is the speaker’s book about? Section C Recording One American researchers have discovered the world's oldest paved road, a 4,600-year-old highway.It linked a stone pit in the Egyptian desert to waterways that carried blocks to monument sites along the Nile.The eight-mile road is at least 500 years older than any previously discovered road.It is the only paved road discovered in ancient Egypt, said geologist Thomas Bown of the United States Geological Survey.He reported the discovery on Friday.“The road probably doesn't rank with the pyramids as a construction feat, but it is a major engineering achievement,” said his colleague, geologist James Harrell of the University of Toledo.“Not only is the road earlier than we thought possible, we didn't even think they built roads.” The researchers also made a discovery in the stone pit at the northern end of the road: the first evidence that the Egyptians used rock saws.“This is the oldest example of saws being used for cutting stone,” said Bown’s colleague James Hoffmeier of Wheaton College in Illinois.“That's two technologies we didn't know they had,” Harrell said “And we don't know why they were both abandoned.” The road was discovered in the Faiyum Depression, about 45 miles southwest of Cairo.Short segments of the road had been observed by earlier explorers, Bown said, but they failed to realize its significance or follow up on their observations.Bown and his colleagues stumbled across it while they were doing geological mapping in the region.The road was clearly built to provide services for the newly discovered stone pit.Bown and Harrell have found the camp that housed workers at the stone pit.The road appears today to go nowhere, ending in the middle of the desert.When it was built, its terminal was a dock on the shore of Lake Moeris, which had an elevation of about 66 feet above sea level, the same as the dock.Lake Moeris received its water from the annual floods of the Nile.At the time of the floods, the river and lake were at the same level and connected through a gap in the hills near the modern villages of el-Lahun and Hawara.Harrell and Bown believe that blocks were loaded onto barges during the dry season, then floated over to the Nile during the floods to be shipped off to the monument sites at Giza and Saqqara.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.16.What do we learn from the lecture about the world’s oldest paved road in Egypt? 17.What did the researchers discover in the stone pit? 18.For what purpose was the paved road built? Recording Two The thin, extremely sharp needles didn’t hurt at all going in.Dr.Gong pierced them into my left arm, around the elbow that had been bothering me.Other needles were slipped into my left wrist and, strangely, into my right arm, and then into both my closed eyelids.There wasn’t any discomfort, just a mild warming sensation.However, I did begin to wonder what had driven me here, to the office of Dr.James Gong, in New York’s Chinatown.Then I remembered－－the torturing pain in that left elbow.Several trips to a hospital and two expensive, uncomfortable medical tests had failed to produce even a diagnosis.“Maybe you lean on your left arm too much,”the doctor concluded, suggesting I see a bone doctor.During the hours spent waiting in vain to see a bone doctor, I decided to take another track and try acupuncture.A Chinese-American friend recommended Dr.Gong.I took the subway to Gong’s second-floor office, marked with a hand-painted sign.Dr.Gong speaks English, but not often.Most of my questions to him were greeted with a friendly laugh, but I managed to let him know where my arm hurt.He asked me to go into a room, had me lie down on a bed, and went to work.In the next room, I learned, a woman dancer was also getting a treatment.As I lay there a while, I drifted into a dream-like state and fantasized about what she looked like.Acupuncturists today are as likely to be found on Park Avenue as on Mott Street.In all there are an estimated 10,000 acupuncturists in the country.Nowadays, a lot of M.D.s have learned acupuncture techniques;so have a number of dentists.Reason? Patient demand.Few, though, can adequately explain how acupuncture works.Acupuncturists may say that the body has more than 800 acupuncture points.A life force called qi circulates through the body.Points on the skin are energetically connected to specific organs, body structures and systems.Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of qi.The truth is, though acupuncture is at least 2,200 years old,“nobody really knows what’s happening,”says Paul Zmiewski, a Ph.D.in Chinese studies who practices acupuncture in Philadelphia.After five treatments, there has been dramatic improvement in my arm, and the pain is a fraction of what it was.The mainly silent Dr.Gong finally even offered a diagnosis for what troubled me.“Pinched nerve,”he said.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.19.What does the speaker find especially strange? 20.Why did the speaker go see Dr.Gong? 21.What account for the growing popularity of acupuncture in the United States, according to the speaker? Recording Three Ronald and Lois married for two decades considered themselves a happy couple.But in the early years of their marriage both were distilled by persistent arguments that seem to fade away without ever being truly resolved.They uncovered clues to what was going wrong by researching a fascinating subject.How birth order affects not only your personality but also how compatible you are with your mate.Ronald and Lois are only children and onlies grow up

accustomed to being the apple of parents’ eyes.Match two onlies and you have partners to sub consciously expect each other to continue fulfilling this expectation while neither has much experience in the giving and here's a list of common birth order characteristics and some thoughts on the best and worst Marischal matches for each.The oldest tends to be self-assured, responsible, a high achiever and relatively seriously reserved.He may be slow to make friends.Perhaps content with only one companion.The best matches are with a youngest and only or a mate raised in a large family.The worst match is with another oldest since the two will be too sovereign to share a household comfortably.The youngest child of the family thrives on the tension and tends to be outgoing, adventurous, optimistic, creative and less ambitious than others in the family.He may lack self-discipline and have difficulty making decisions on his own.A youngest brother of brothers often unpredictable and romantic will match best with an oldest sister of brothers.The youngest sister of brothers is best matched with the oldest brother of sisters who will happily indulge these traits.The middle child is influenced by many variables however middles are less likely to take initiative and more anxious and self-critical than others.Middles often successfully marry other middles.Since both are strong on tact not so strong on the aggressiveness and tend to crave affection.The only child is often most comfortable when alone.But since an only tends to be a well-adjusted individual she'll eventually learn to relate to any chosen spouse.The male only child expects his wife to make life easier without getting much in return.He is sometimes best matched with the younger sister of brothers.The female only child who tends to be slightly more flexible is well matched with an older man who will indulge her tendency to test his love—her worst much.Another only of course.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.22.What does the speaker say about Ronald and Lois's early years of married life? 23.What do we learn about Ronald and Lois? 24.What does the speaker say about the oldest child in the family? 25.What does the speaker say about the only children? 参考答案：

In America, white tailed deer are morenumerous than ever before, so abundant in factthat they've become a suburban nuisance and ahealth hazard.Why can't the herd be thinned the old-fashionedway? The small community of North Haven on LongIsland is home to some six hundred to sevenhundred deer.The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimumpopulation at 60.The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens andshrubs are protected by high fences.Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of theroad that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of thebodies.Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases.On theoccasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure courtorders against the hunts.And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots andpans to alert the deer.Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved intoconfrontations.The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem.Some communities have evendiscussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix.That means wolves inthe suburbs of New York.It is almost too wonderful not to try it.The wolves would kill deer ofcourse.They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburbandwellers have in mind.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard

Q16.What do we learn about white-tailed deer in North Haven?

Q17.Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans?

And now, if you'll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we're going to see isthe room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionallyentertain heads of state and royalty.However, they managed to keep this room friendly andintimate.And I think you'll agree.It has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grandhouses you visit.The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lakeand fountains outside which were lit up at night – a very attractive sight.As you can see,ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, whichwould add to the relaxed atmosphere.The table dates from the 18th century and is made fromSpanish oak.It's rather remarkable for the fact that although it's extremely big, it'ssupported by just six rather slim legs.However, it seems to have survived like that for 200years.So it's probably going to last a bit longer.The chairs which go with the table are not acomplete set.There were originally six of them.They are interesting for the fact that they arevery plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and noarmrests.I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people wereused to more discomfort in the past.And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to follow meinto the great hall…

Janet James was 22 years old when she was diagnosed with MS—a disease that attacks thebody's nerves.She has just graduated from college and got a job at an advertising agencywhen she began to sense that something strange was going on inside her body.When Jamesrealized how severe her illness was, she knew she had better hurry up and live life.MS is thebiggest cripplerof young adults.And although she didn't have many symptoms, she knew it wasjust a matter of time.First on her agenda was to pursue her dream of hosting a pop musicprogramme.She worked at a radio station for a year, always aware that her body wasdegenerating.Then her best friend moved away.And one night James began screaming, “I gotto go!I got to go!” Two weeks later, she arrived at Alaska, thousands of miles from her friends,her family and her past.“Everything fell into a place”, she recalls.A 23-year-old girl with anincurable disease can fly to Alaska and everything can work out.The MS attacks came and went.And most of the time they hardly slowed her down.James hiked, fished, learnt to sail andexperimented with hot air ballooning.“I lived for adventure”, she says.“Nobody ever had abetter time or did more exotic strange things than I did in an 80-year period.” Inevitablyhowever, the day came when she was so weakened that she had to return to Pittsburgh, herhome town.There she began relieving her adventures by writing a book about them.Her bookwas published in 1993.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Questions 23

It’s difficult to estimate the number ofyoungsters involved in home schooling wherechildren are not sent to school and receive theirformal education from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have made it legallypossible in most states for parents to educate theirchildren at home and each year more people takeadvantage of that opportunity.Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards, andmany require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receivinginstruction in state approved curriculum.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient thanmass public education.Moreover they site several advantages: alleviation of schoolovercrowding, strengthen family relationships, lower dropout rates, the facts that students areallowed to learn at their own rate, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, andreduced discipline problems.Critics of the home schooling movement content that it creates as many problems as itsolves.They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educationalopportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can providesuch educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children from the schools infavor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formaltraining to provide a satisfactory education for their children.Typically, parents have fewertechnological resources at their disposal than do schools.However, the relatively inexpensivecomputer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notionthat home schooling is in any way inferior to more highly structured classroom education.1.答案：D)Their hard work has resulted in a bigsuccess.2.答案：B)Join a package tour to Mexico.3.答案：B)In case some problem should occur.4.答案：C)The man can try out the facilitiesbefore he becomes a member.5.答案：A)He is not fit to study science.6.答案：C)Pay for part of the picnic food.7.答案：A)A labor dispute at a bus company.8.答案：D)The payment for an order.本次六级短对话难度变化不大，考查的话题还是我们以前考试中经常提及的日常生活，工作以及学习方面，例如，对话1、2、4、6、7和日常生活话题有关(演出、度假、办卡，野餐，新闻);对话3、8涉及商务工作;对话5则为校园生活话题(考试)。短对话主要考查学生对事实细节信息的抓取和隐含意义的推理判断，大部分题目答案是可以通过听力原文直接得到的。其中一些主要短语需要注意：pay off―得到好的结果;取得成功‖;give sb a free pass―开恩‖;try out―尝试;试用‖;cut out―切断;停止‖;lay off―解雇‖等，理解好这些短语对整篇短文听力内容的把握很有帮助，往往一个短对话的关键点就在一个单词或者短语上，所以考生平时还是需要多多积累一些词汇和短语。

长对话1：

9.B)A hotel receptionist.10.A)Appearance.11.C)Offer the job to David Wallace.长对话2： C)He was admitted to university.13.B)He became a professor of Mathematics.14.D)Their work on very high frequency radio waves.15.D)To teach at a university.长对话1

该对话围绕男士和女士挑选合适的酒店招待员展开，讨论三个应聘者Frank Brisenski，Barbara Jones和David Wallace的优劣势：Frank Brisenski有礼貌，声音好听，聪明，但是外表形象欠佳;Barbara Jones声音好听，穿着得体，但过于害羞，不擅于与人沟通;David Wallace聪明，外表形象佳，表现自如，有礼貌，声音动听。最后俩人决定录取David Wallace。

前两题考查事实细节，都能从原文直接找到答案，考生在听的时候要大概记下对话双方对于三个应聘者的评价，特别是转折处。虽然第三题需要考生推断，但是根据对话双方对David Wallace的评价就可以马上推出这是他们最终定的人选。

长对话2

从开头几句就可知是电话对话，男士打电话询问科学家Dennis Hutton的个人信息，女士在电话另一头作了简短介绍，中间涉及多处时间点，考生在听的时候要特别记下每个时间对应的事件，这样四个题目的答案就出来了。

本篇对话有一定难度，一是时间点较多，二是一些较难的单词和短语，如reference library参考书阅览室;Darlington达灵顿(英国英格兰东北部城市);inventer发明家;physicist物理学家;be admitted to进入;refrigeration冷冻;low temperature physics低温物理学;mathematics数学;subatomic particles亚原子粒子;patent取得……的专利权。做题时不要纠结于一些听不懂的单词，可以在试卷各选项旁边标注上时间点，这样等听问题时就能快速锁定答案。16.A They have become a headache to thecommunity.17.C To alert the deer.18.B They would endanger domestic animals.【点评】

这是一篇关于生态的文章。讲述了白尾鹿数量过多给长岛带来的负面影响，以及政府因此采取的措施。首句便点明了文章主旨，16题的答案即可呼之欲出。17题为事实细节题，pots and pans压了头韵，在文中的特征还是颇为明显的，不难定位。18题看似推理判断，但并不难从原文中得出正确答案，cats and dogs都是domestic animals家禽，所以也可看作是事实细节题。总的来说，今年听力短文的难度有所下降。大家要有信心，一定能通过考试的!

19.A She is a tourist guide.20.C It was used by the family to hold dinner parties.21.B It is very big, with only six slim legs.22.D They are uncomfortable to sit in for long.【点评】

这是一篇导游词，介绍名人故居的一个房间。对房间的作用，风格，陈设等做了详细的讲解。没有太难的生词，只要抓住以上几个角度，题目就不难做出了。除了第一题，其他三题都是事实细节题，21、22题可能乍一看，很难推测出考点，这时可以注意文中详细讲解的部分，导游对oval table, chairs做了非常详细的介绍，即为考点。

23.D It is the biggest crippler of young adults.24.A Hurry up and live life.25.B Adventurous.2013年12月大学英语六级考试听力短文3点评

本篇短文听力介绍了一位MS患者的励志故事。主人公Janet James在22岁时被检测出患有MS(多发性硬化症)——这是导致年轻人残废(crippler)的最大原因。当得知自己患有重病，James决定抓紧时间，享受生活。接下来短文讲述了James在病发前逐一完成自己的梦想，并尝试了许多冒险行为，例如远足、钓鱼、学习驾驶帆船、体验热气球等。最后当James的病情达到严重地步时，她回到家乡，并把自己的冒险故事写成了一本书籍。

这篇短文中有一些关于疾病的单词，例如diagnosed、MS、crippler、symptom、degenerating，给听力增加了难度。

短词填空点评：

本篇听力填空主要讨论在家接受教育的问题。文章结构非常清晰，为传统的三段式。

第一段介绍在大部分地区，法律(legislation)允许家长在家教育子女，有些地区还会要求家长或家庭教师需满足教师资格，甚至有些地方要求家长填写表格，证实他们的子女正在接受获批的课程。对于这种教育方式，有利也有弊。

文章第二段表述了在家接受教育的支持观点，例如便宜、有效、增进家庭关系、降低辍学(dropout)率，学生可以自主学习，提升动力(motivation)，减少纪律(discipline)问题等。

第三段介绍了这种教育方式的反对意见，一些批评家们争论(contend)这种方式既解决了一些矛盾也带来了一些新的问题，例如有些家长可能不具备施教能力，并且他们不像学校那样具备充足的科技资源。

本篇听力的三个词组听写出现在最后一段的最后三空，这种现象十分罕见，学生做题时需提高警惕。
