英语六级听力真题测试及解题思路

12. How did Jane spend her days before she went back to work?
A) Doing housework. C) Reading papers and watching TV
B) Looking after her neighbours children. D) Taking good care of her husband.
正确答案
A) Doing housework.
答案解析
原文中有提到：Jean also felt bored and frustrated in her role as a homemaker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her home.说明简一直在操持家务，而丈夫Bill is accustomed to sitting down and reading the paper or watching TV until dinner is ready. 说明丈夫根本没有做过任何家务事。

此题目的四个选项中，B\C都有一定的迷惑性， 文中提到过邻居照顾Jean和Bill的孩子们， 而选项B虽不符合题意，但听起来似乎有些接近， C选项原文中出现过， 只不过对应的人是Bill。这类题型要求考生不止听清楚原文中的事实， 还要把他们对应到正确的角色上， 有一定难度。
13. What problem arose when Jean went back to work?
A) Jean got angry at Bills idle life.
B) Bill failed to adapt to the new situation.
C) Bill blamed Jean for neglecting the family.
D) The chi1dren were not taken good care of
正确答案
B) Bill failed to adapt to the new situation.
答案解析
推论题；Jean工作后Bill依然不做任何家务， 但是Jean 也需要休息， 所以Jean对Bill有一些不满，A\B两项所陈述的事实都是正确的，但是如果说是谁出了问题，那么我们应该说还是Bill 没能适应家庭的变化，而不是Jean对Bill不满， 这件事是结果而不是原因。
技巧指点
听清楚文章内容之外， 还要针对提问问题对听到的信息加以分析和鉴别，六级考试在这方面的要求， 应该说是比较高的。
14. What does the story try to tell us？
A) Neighbours should help each other.
B) Women should have their own careers.
C) Man and wife should share household duties.
D) Parents should take good care of their children.

正确答案
C) Man and wife should share household duties.
答案解析
主旨题；文章讲述了Jean走出家门参加工作后面临的困难，主要集中在描述她的丈夫Bill的态度及其影响上，所以应该是C选项所谈及的主旨：夫妻应分担家庭责任。
技巧指点
这道题主要是考察考生分析选项和理解问题的能力， 并不纠缠于原文的某一些细节。
Passage Two
The decade for natural disaster reduction is a program designed to reduce the impact of natural disasters throughout the world. With support from the United Nations, countries will be encouraged to share information about disaster reduction. For instance, information about how to plan for and cope with hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. One of the most important things the program plans to do is to remind us of what we can do to protect ourselves. For example, we can pack a suitcase with flashlights, a radio, food, drinking water and some tools. This safety may help us survive a disaster until help arrives. Besides, the program will encourage governments to establish building standards, emergency response plans, and training programs, These measures can help to limit the destruction by natural disasters. The comparatively mild effects of the northern California earthquake in 1989 are good evidence that we do have the technology to prevent vast destruction. The recent disasters, on the other hand, prove that people will suffer if we don't use that technology. When a highway collapsed in northern California, people were killed in their cars. The highway was not built according to today's strict standards to resist earthquakes. Individuals and governments have to be far-sighted. We should take extra time and spend extra money to build disaster safety into our lives. Although such a program can't hold back the winds or stop earthquakes, they can save people's lives and homes.
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What is the purpose of the program mentioned in this passage?

C) To gain financial support from the United Nations.
D) To propose measures to hold back natural disasters.
正确答案
B) To limit the destruction that natural disasters may cause.
答案解析
录音材料的第一句就已经点明了本题的答案：The decade for natural disaster reduction is a program designed to reduce the impact of natural disasters throughout the world.
