2011年12月英語六級沖刺預(yù)測試題及答案(1)

　　Conversation One

　　W: 【19】I'll go over to the recycling center this after noon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags along?

　　M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down in the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it. But people seldom ask for nowadays and I've never gone over to the recycling center myself.

　　W: That's typical. A few years ago, people were really enthusiastic about reusing waste paper. Unfortunately, interests have been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use wastepaper for things like they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.

　　M: 【20】I suppose things like reading cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it?

　　W: Well, it wouldn't be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color 【21】if the waste paper can take the place of the virgin woods, pulp and so help to preserve forests.

　　M: You are right. 【22】I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you've just heard.

　　19. Where is the woman going this afternoon?

　　20. According to the speakers, what products are now made from recycled paper?

　　21. What major benefit does the woman see to using waste paper?

　　22. What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?

　　19. 答案B

　　解析：聽力一開始，女士就提到了下午要去“the recycling center”，即“廢物回收中心”�？忌�要特別注意cycle意為“騎自行車，(使)輪轉(zhuǎn)，(使)循環(huán)”，而recycle意為“回收利用”。

　　20. 答案A

　　解析：聽力接下來討論廢紙如何重新利用。女士說，現(xiàn)在廢紙有很多商業(yè)用途。男士接著說，廢紙可以用來制作卡片，日歷和信紙。從中考生可判斷A為正確選項。

　　21. 答案D

　　解析：從選項中，考生可以推測問題是關(guān)于回收利用廢紙的好處。聽力對話后半部分中女士說：如果廢紙可以幫助保護森林，誰會在乎顏色?從中可以判斷，女士認為回收廢紙的最大好處是，可以保護樹木。

　　22. 答案D

　　解析：由選項可推測問題是關(guān)于兩者之間的關(guān)系。聽力最后，男士說：隨后我把廢紙送到你公寓去。從中可以推斷，這是兩家人，并不是夫妻或母子關(guān)系。聽力中一直提到“apartment(公寓)”，兩者之間是師生關(guān)系的可能性很小，最有可能就是住的比較近的朋友關(guān)系。

　　Conversation Two

　　W: Let's go in here and order some coffee while we look at your pictures.

　　M: Good idea. We'd both like coffee, please. OK, here's one of Ed's, 【23】my roommate. I took this picture right after we had arrived at the school this fall. We had just met, in fact. And this was our room of the dormitory while we were unpacking all our things. What a mess !

　　W: You certainly had a lot of boxes. How did you ever find room for everything?

　　M: In the beginning, we thought we'd never get all arranged but now we are very comfortable. Lucky for me, Ed keeps his things neat.

　　W: Do you like living in the dormitory?

　　M: It's not bad. 【24】Sometimes Ed turns his radio up too loud and makes too much noise. Then I get angry. Sometimes I leave my books lying around and he gets angry. But usually we get along. 【25】Here's a picture of him taken when we went to visit my family during vacation.

　　W: And this last one?

　　M: That's my dog Spot.

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the first conversation you've just heard.

　　23. Who is Ed?

　　24. Why does the man sometimes get angry at Ed?

　　25.What did Ed do during vacation?

　　23. 答案B

　　解析：根據(jù)選項，考生可以推斷考題是關(guān)于某人的身份。聽力一開始，兩個人在咖啡館點了咖啡，男士就介紹了Ed，是他的室友。

　　24. 答案A

　　解析：選項討論了某位男士的特點，選項中he有可能指說話人，也有可能指Ed，考生要分清楚。女士問：喜歡住在宿舍嗎?男士回答：還不錯，有時候Ed把收音機開的很大，噪音很大，他會生氣;有時候他把書亂扔，Ed會生氣。而問題是：為什么男士會對Ed生氣?很明顯，男士生氣，是因為Ed制造噪音。

　　25. 答案D

　　解析：選項討論了某位男士的行為，考生要注意He的指代。聽力最后提及，假期時Ed拜訪了說話人一家。答案D是正確選項。

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　【26】A credit card permits its holders to buy goods or obtain services without immediate payment. Possession of a card identifies the owner, who can obtain consumer credit. 【27】Each card has an account number which is recorded by the seller, who sends it to a central billing office. 【28】The office calculates the total price of purchases by the card holder during the month and sends him a bill. The buyer sends his check to the central office, which allocates the money to establishments extending credit.

　　Credit cards were used in some American stores during the 1920s, but they did not gain wide acceptance. In 1938 rival American oil companies issued them to consumers and established a national pool to honor each company's card. This was the start of the credit card's popularity.

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you've just heard.

　　26. What does a credit card permit its holders to do?

　　27. What does each credit card have?

　　28. What does a central billing office do?

　　26. 答案A

　　解析：聽力段落一開始就講到信用卡的用途，持卡人當時不用付賬，就可以購買物品或享受服務(wù)。所以A為正確答案。

　　27. 答案C

　　解析：選項提到某個號，考生要注意聽力中的細節(jié)。接下來，聽力中講，每張信用卡都有一個賬號，而選項中A、B、D在聽力中并沒有提及。

　　28. 答案D

　　解析：選項是關(guān)于某種東西的功能。聽力接下來提到billing office，隨后討論它的功能，計算持卡人每月的總花費，并寄給他一個賬單。選項C是個干擾項，是購買者把支票寄給billing office。
