星火：2008年12月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)考試預(yù)測(cè)試題

　　13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.

　　W: I don’t think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.

　　Q: What can we learn from this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都更側(cè)重男士方面，由此暗示對(duì)話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加注意與男士相關(guān)的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡個(gè)午覺(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon)，但女士說Mr. Smith已經(jīng)在門口停車，馬上就來了(parked his car at the door，he is coming up)。由此可以推斷，男士今天不能睡午覺了(won’t be able to enjoy a nap)。故正確答案為B)。

　　14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?

　　M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.

　　Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是有關(guān)George和工作的關(guān)系，對(duì)工作的看法和態(tài)度，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于George和工作的。 George的工作現(xiàn)在做得不錯(cuò)(doing fine)。雖然他想過換工作(planned to change his job)，但是他決定保留現(xiàn)有的工作(keep the present one)。故正確答案為B)。

　　15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen’s office.

　　M: Good morning. I’d like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I’d like to have it done this week if possible.

　　Q: Who is the woman?

　　【解析】C)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表示身份的詞，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于某人的身份。男士要和牙醫(yī)預(yù)約洗牙和檢查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可見，女士應(yīng)該是牙醫(yī)診所的接待員(receptionist)。故C)為正確答案。

　　16. M: Professor Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know he works till midnight every day.

　　W: I wouldn’t have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是有關(guān)女士和教授之間的關(guān)系，由此可以推測(cè)，本問題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于女士和教授的學(xué)習(xí)和工作的。 男士說教授這個(gè)學(xué)期很忙(very busy this semester)，每天工作到深夜(works till midnight every day)。女士回答說如果早知道是這么忙就不會(huì)那樣麻煩他了(wouldn’t have troubled him)。由此可以推測(cè)女士很后悔占用了教授很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間(regrets having taken up much of the professor’s time)。故D)為正確答案。

　　17. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? The clams with our special sauce are good. They’re fresh from the ocean.

　　M: Thank you, but I don’t care for clams.

　　Q: Where did this conversation probably take place?

　　【解析】A)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表示地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景的短語(yǔ)，由此可以推斷，本題是考查關(guān)于某件事情發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)。 女士推薦說配特制醬汁的蛤蜊(The clams with our special sauce)很不錯(cuò)，蛤蜊是剛從海里捕上來的(fresh from the ocean)。由此可見本對(duì)話發(fā)生在餐館(restaurant)，故正確答案為A)。

　　18. W: I suppose we should look for a bigger house, but I don’t see how we can afford it right now.

　　M: If only we hadn’t spent so much money on our car this year.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation about the speakers?

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是They可能會(huì)做出的選擇，由此可以推斷，本題是考查關(guān)于某些人即將做出的決定。女士覺得應(yīng)該找一間大一點(diǎn)的房子(look for a bigger house)，但目前又承擔(dān)(afford)不起。男士指出了負(fù)擔(dān)不起的原因，今年花了錢在買汽車上(spent so much money on our car)。由此可見，他們無法換一間大點(diǎn)的房子，因?yàn)殄X不夠(don’t have enough money)。故正確答案為D)。

　　Conversation One

　　M: Oh,Janna, you’re early! I’m happy you’re here early today because I’d like to discuss your attendance for a moment.

　　W: Gee, Dr.Livingston, (19) I’m really sorry about missing class yesterday.

　　M: Actually,(19)it’s been several days.(20)Counting today, we’ve only had 6 classes, yet you’ve already missed 4.It’s more than a half. You won’t be able to pass if you’re constantly absent. And I really don’t want to fail anyone.

　　W: Sorry, I’ve been extremely busy. I can explain for it. Dr.Livingston. I have a part-time job, so...

　　M: Well, I hope you’re already for today’s exam.

　　W: Today? I thought it was Monday!

　　M: Read the syllabus, Janna; this is precisely what I’m talking about. You should either make an effort to attend, or you should consider withdrawing while it’s still possible.

　　W: What do you mean?

　　M: Today’s the final day you can withdraw and get a full refund.

　　W: Maybe I really should. What do you suggest?

　　M: I wish you could attend classes regularly; however, if you don’t believe you’re capable of this, then don’t waste your money.

　　W: Thanks, Dr.Livingston. I really appreciate your advice. If it’s okay,(21) I suppose I’ll go ahead and drop the class.

　　M: It’s entirely up to you, but that might be best if you don’t think things are going to change. Excuse me, the students are coming, and I’ve got to get ready for class. I wish you the very best of luck, Janna.

　　W: Thank you, Dr.Livingston. Goodbye.
