本次六級聽力考試文章來自Psychology?Today, Friendship, Making Peace: A Reading / Writing / Thinking Text on Global Community等國外網(wǎng)站和原版著作。主題包括科技與運動、國際貿(mào)易、工作氛圍、基因與肥胖、影響友誼的因素、恐龍遺址以及家庭關(guān)系。語速適中，文章難度略微偏大，出現(xiàn)了一些較難聽懂高難詞匯，如，cutthroat，plagued，autonomy，paroled等。但是提示詞明顯，做題難度不大。

?

主要出題點如下：

1. 文章開頭。例如，長對話1，Question?1：What do we learn about Anna Sanchez?（關(guān)于Anna Sanchez我們能得知什么？）的答案來自文章開頭句：Tonight, we have a very special guest. Mrs. Anna Sanchez is a three-time Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge. 再如，短文2，Question?12：What does the speaker say has aroused public interest?（講話人說的什么內(nèi)容引起了公眾的興趣？）答案來自文章開頭句：Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of a changed gene in obese life.

2. 文章結(jié)尾。比如，長對話2，Question?8：What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more profitable?（女人說什么使得家具業(yè)略微更加容易盈利？）答案來自文章最后一句：Furniture is marginally more profitable, mostly because it enjoys lower customs duties.

3. 提示詞。例如，長對話2，Question?8：What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more profitable?（女人說什么使得家具業(yè)略微更加容易盈利？）的答案句中包含明顯的原因提示詞because；同樣，演講1，Question?18：What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?（什么品質(zhì)會共同威脅到男人和女人之間的友誼？）的答案句中有明顯的because?of這樣的原因提示詞；再如，演講3，Question?25：What does the speaker say older people tried their best to do?（講話人說，老年人盡他們最大努力在做什么？）答案句前出出現(xiàn)了明顯的提示詞So。
