2013 年 6 月大学英语六级考试真题(二)答案与详解
PartⅡ ListeningComprehension
1.听力原文：W: What’s wrong with your phone.Gary? I tried to call you all night yesterday.
M:I’msorry.Noonewasabletogetthroughyesterday.Mytelephonewasdisconnectedbythephonecompany.
Q:Whatdoesthewomanaskthemanabout?
【预测】选项均以why开头，表明问题是关于某事的原因；其中的hisphone...disconnected，she,notget
throughtohim和refusedtoanswerhercall表明，对话可能与女士没能打电话联系上男士有关。
【精析】B)。女士问男士的电话出了什么少问题（What’swrongwithyourphone)，并说她整晚都在给男士
打电话（triedtocallyou)，由A 可知女士是问为什么整晚都打不通男士的电话，故答案为B项。本题容易
误选A项,disconnected在此不表示电话不通，而是表示 “切断电话”，是男士所说的电话不通的原因。
2. 听力原文：W:Ifinallyfoundareallyniceapartmentthat’swithinmypricerange.
M: Congratulations! Affordable housing is rare in this city. I’ve been looking for a suitable place since I got
heresixmonthsago.
Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?
【预测】选项中houses,pricerange,home,affordablehousing和apartment表明，对话与买房有关，可能涉及
房子的价格是否负担得起。D项是说租房，其他三项都是说买房，故D项为答案的可能性较小。
【精析】C)。男士说能买得起的房子太少（Affordablehousingisrare),他一直在找合适的房子 (havebeen
lookingfor),rare和havebeenlookingfor都说明，男士是想说找到合适的房子很难，故答案为C项。
3.听力原文：M:Igotthisinmymailboxtoday,butIdon’tknowwhatitis.Doyouhaveanyidea?
W: Oh, that’s your number for the new photocopier. It requires an access code. Everyone got one.
Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?
【预测】选项中关键词mail,copymachine和number提示，对话可能涉及邮件、复印机和号码。
【精析】D)。男士说收到了一个邮件但不知道内容是什么意思，女士告诉他说那是新的复印机需要的
访问代码（numberforthenewphotocopier,accesscode),由此可知新的复印机运行需要一个代码，故答案
为D项。
4.听力原文：W:Janetoldmethatyou’llbeleavingussoon.Isittrue?
M:Yeah,mywife’smaternity leaveis closetoanend.Andsinceshewantstogobacktowork,I’vedecidedto
takeayearofftoraisethebaby.
Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?
【预测】选项主语 he 以及 stopwork…thebaby,findajobnearhishome 和 wife...birth...baby 表明，对话
很可能涉及家庭对男士工作的影响。
【精析】A)。男士说他的妻子休完产假（maternityleave)后想回去工作，所以他决定休息一年来照顾孩子
（takeayearofftoraisethebaby)， A项是对此的同义转述，故为答案。
5.听力原文：M: We’ll never find a parking space here. What about dropping you at the south gate and I’ll find
parkingsomewhereelse?
W:Well,OK.Itlookslikeeveryoneintowncametothemalltoday.
Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?
【预测】选项中的shoppingcentre，mall提示，对话与逛商场有关；floodedwithpeople和Parking...nightmare
提示，对话中可能涉及人多和停车困难。而D项Shewillwaitfortheman...提示，问题应该是针对女士提问，
听录音时重点留意女士的话。
【精析】A)。女士话中的Itlookslikeeveryoneintowncametothemalltoday表明，今天商场里人很多，故
答案为A项。shoppingcentre对应mall，均表示商场。本题如听不清问题所指，则很容易误选C项，因为
由男士的话可知，parking十分困难。
6.听力原文：W:Whenwillthecomputersbebackonline?
M:Probablynotuntiltomorrow.TheproblemismorecomplicatedthanIthought.

Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?
【预测】选项主语 he 以及repair the computers，reconnectthe computers to the Net 和 complicated problems
表明，对话可能与男士修理电脑有关。D项说明天网上会有好东西，与其他三项内容关联性较小，故为答
案的可能性不大。
【精析】B)。女士问电脑什么时候可以再连上网 (backonline)，男士说可能要等到明天，因为问题比他想
象的要复杂（morecomplicated)，也就是说使电脑重新连上网需要花费更长的时间，答案为B项。
7.听力原文：M:DidyoucatchProfessorSmithonTVlastnight?
W:Ialmostmissedit.butmymotherjusthappenedtobewatchingathomeandgavemeacall.
Q:Whatdoesthewomanimply?
【预测】选项中重复出现的Prof.Smith，onTV表明，对话可能与史密斯教授上电视有关。Sheforgot/didsee
提示，问题应该是针对女士提问的，而hermother提示，对话中还可能涉及女士的妈妈。
【精析】D)。男士问女士昨晚在电视上看到史密斯教授了没有，女士说Ialmostmissedit，but...(我差点没
看到，不过……），其实听到这里就可以推知，女士是看到了，而由but后面的内容可知，是她妈妈提醒她
看的，故答案为D项。almostmissed表达的其实是否定含义，即“没错过”。另外，要注意理解but的转
折语气，是听力题设题的重点。
8.听力原文：M:MayIgetthisprescriptionrefilled?
W:I’msorry,sir,butwecan’tgiveyouarefillonthat.You’llhavetogetanewprescription.
Q:Whatcanweinferfromtheconversation?
【预测】选项中的theman以及prescribedmedicine,doctor和prescription表明，对话与男士抓处方药有关。
【精析】C)。男士想要按处方再次抓药（prescriptionrefilled)，女士说不行，他得再去找医生开张新处方（get
anewprescription),由此可推知，男士得再去找一次自己的医生，故答案为C项。

11. 【预测】选项中的promise,pay，bearthecost以及 theCompany提示，本题可能与对某公司的承诺有
关，可能涉及替该公司支付费用。选项均以动词原形开头，故问题可能会涉及建议。
答案详解：
9. B)。对话开头女士就说，南方剧场公司想知道他们是否有兴趣赞助该公司的东亚 (atourtheywantto
maketoEastAsia), 由此可知，南方剧场公司正在计划东亚巡演，故答案为B项。
10.A)。男士问女士他们能从赞助中获得什么好处（Whatdowegetoutofit?) ，女士回答说goodpublicity
“好的宣传”，故答案为A项。
11.C)。男士说差旅费用太多（thetravelbill...enormous)，于是女士建议他们支付印刷费用（whydon’twe
offertopayfortheprintingoftheprogrammes),由此可知答案为 C项。Whydon’t...为表达建议的典型句式。
ConversationTwo
13-15听力原文
W: [15] Rock stars now face a new hazard-voice abuse. After [12】 last week’s announcement that Phil Collins
might give up touring because live concerts are mining his voice, doctors are counseling stars about the dos
and don’ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field
Hospital.Paul,whatadvicewouldyougivetosingersfacingvoiceproblems?
M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about where they work. They
shouldn’t work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voices after a show.
Something else they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for example. [13] Singers should avoid
aspirin.Itthinstheblood.Andifasingercoughs,[13】 thiscanresultinthebruisingofthevocalchords.
W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice
problems?
M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily- available’on the continent, and they are useful if a singer
has problems with his vocal chords and has to sing that night. But if they are taken regularly, they cause a
thinning of the voice muscle. [14] Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training, overuse and
abuseof thevoice, especiallywhentheyareyoung. Theyhave difficultlives. Whentheygo ontour,theydoa

giveup提示，本题可能与他遇到的问题有关。
13.【预测】选项中的useittostayawayfromcolds提示，it可能指代某种药物。Singers...addicted,helpssingers
和harmtosingers表明，问题可能是关于药物对歌手的影响。
14.【预测】选项中的eager...famous,lack…training，few...successful和glamorouslife表明，本题可能与they
的状况有关，they很可能指歌手或演艺人员。
【解析】B)。男士说，大多数流行歌手会遭遇三 个问题：lackoftraining,overuseandabuseofthevoice,
尤其在他们年轻的时候，B项为其中第一 项，故为答案。
15、【预测】选项均为名词短语，且概括性较强，内容相对独立，故问题很可能是考查对话谈论的主题。
答案详解：
12、D。女士提到，上星期有声明宣布（lastweek’sannouncement)，菲尔•柯林斯能会放弃巡回演出（might

giveuptouring)，因为担心现场演唱会会损伤他的嗓子，由此可知答案为D项。
13、D)。男士（PaulPhillips)说，歌手们应该避免服用aspirin，因为它会稀释血液，还可能会使声带受伤（the
bruisingofthevocalchords)，由此可知答案为D项。
14、 B)。男士说，大多数流行歌手会遭遇三个问题：lackoftraining,overuseandabuseofthevoice,尤其在
他们年轻的时候，B项为其中第一项，故为答案。
15、C)。对话开头女士即说摇滚明星们（rockstars)现在面临一个新的危险（hazard)滥用嗓子（voiceabuse)，
而结尾处女士又让男士给歌手们些建议（advisethesingers)，男士给出的建议也是关于如何保护声音的，
而整个对话过程中也多次提到voiceproblems，vocalchords等相关词语，由此不难确定对话主要谈论的是
“流行歌手们的嗓子问题”，故答案为C项。

17、B)。短文中提到，开发商们（developers) 对这项技永（即roboticparking)很有信心，他们指望'着可以

PassageTwo
20-21听力原文
A recent study shows that [20] meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the
environment, secondonly to the use of motor vehicles. [20] So how can eating meat have a negative effecton the
environment?
For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, release gas named methane, which is the second most
common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that methane is more
responsible for global warming than the carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the
atmospherecomesfromfarmanimals.
Another way in which meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500
gallons of water are needed to produceone poundofbeef, whereas20 gallonsof water are neededto produce one
poundofwheat.Oneacreoffarmlandusedforraisingcowscanproduce250poundsofbeef;oneacreoffarmland

health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists
advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian diet. [21] They believe such a diet which includes no

20、【预测】选项均示某种结论或看法，故本题很可能与短文主旨有关。选项中的sourceofgreenhouse，
influenced，environment和meatconsumption表明，短文主旨很可能与人类消费（很可能是肉类消费）对环
境的影响有关。
21、【预测】B项中的lacksthevitaminsandminerals表明，It应该是指某种食物或饮食；lacks,enhances，
helps提示，本题与该食物或饮食对人体的影响有关，听录音时要留意这种影响是正面的还是负面的。
22、【预测】选项均以动词原形开头，故问题很可能涉及建议。
答案详解：
20、D)。短文开头即指出，最近的一项研究显示，肉类消费（meatconsumption)是人类破坏环境 (damagethe
environment)的主要方式之一，D项正是对此的同义转述，hasanadverseeffecton对应damage。此外，紧
接着后面问句中的eatingmeathaveanegativeeffectontheenvironment更进一步说明了答案。
21、B)。短文中通过however转折指出一些营养学家（somenutritionists)对素食的建议，他们建议不要只
吃素食（against…strictvegetariandiet),他们认为纯素食会使人体缺乏所必需的维他命和矿物 (deficientin...
necessary vitamins and minerals ), 由此可知答案为 B 项，其中 lack 对应 be deficient in, essential 对应

Passage Three
23-25听力原文
Alcoholismisaseriousdisease.NearlyninemillionAmericansalonesufferfromtheillness.
Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between an alcohol addict and a social drinker. The
differenceoccurswhensomeoneneedstodrink. Andthis needgets inthe wayofhishealthorbehaviour.Alcohol
causes a loss of judgment and alertness. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and
otherpartsofthebody.
The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobile accidents. [23] Another problem is
thatthevictimoftendeniesbeinganalcoholaddictandwon’tgethelp.
Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centres help patients cope. Without the assistance, the victim can
destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose his employment, home or loved
ones.
All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. There is no standard for a person with alcoholism.
Victims range in age, race,sex andbackground. Some groups of peopleare more vulnerable to the illness. People
from broken homes and North American Indians are two examples. People from broken homes often lack stable
lives. Indians likewise had their traditional life taken from them by [24] white settlers, who often encourage them
toconsumealcoholtopreventthemfromfightingback.Theproblemhasnowbeenpassedon.
Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. [25] With
properassistance,victimscanputtheirlivestogetheroneday.

23.Whatistheproblemofthevictimsaboutalcoholismaccordingtothespeaker?
24.WhydidwhitesettlersintroducealcoholtoIndians?
25.Whatdoesthespeakerseemtobelieveaboutthoseaffectedbyalcoholism?
23、【预测】D项表明，they可能是指触酒者；选项中的否定词语提示，本题可能是关于他们存在的问题或
不好的行为。
24、【预测】选项均为不定式短语，故本题考查做某事的目的或原因。C项提示，该事可能与某种欧式的
生活习惯有关；再结合D项“缓解疼痛和痛苦” 和之前对主题的推测，本题很可能与喝酒有关。
25、 【预测】选项C项表明，they是指某类患病者(很可能是酗酒者)。A项、D项意思接近，都表示这类
人对社会的不良影响，故二者可能都不是答案。B项、C项内容提示，本题可能涉及这类病人的治疗和康
复情况。
答案详解：
23、D)。说话者提到，酗酒是很危险的一种疾病，因为有一半的车祸都与它有关；而接下来提到了 another
problem是，患病者（victim) 都不愿意承认自己是酿酒者（deniesbeinganalcoholaddict)，由此可知答案
为D项。donotadmit 对应 denies。
24、A)。短文中提到，北美印地安人（NorthAmericanIndians)是容易酿酒的一类人群，接下来指出了他们
酗酒的根源：白人定居者们（whitesettlers)经常鼓励他们喝酒以防止他们反抗 (preventthemfromfighting
back),由此可知答案为A项。
25、B)。短文结尾说话者提到，有了适当的帮助（withproperassistance)，酿酒者有一天可以重新正常生活
（puttheirlivestogether)，故答案为B)。backtoanormallife对应puttheirlivestogether。
SectionC
26、 【预测】：分析句子结构可知，本句由于主语较长，所以使用了倒装结构。正常语序应为the...,the
roles...,andother...descriptors...are26.inyourself-image.而theroles…这些都是自我形象中所“包括的”内容，
由此不难联想到Included,注意首字母要大写。
【答案】Included,意为“包括”。
27、【预测】结合上题的分析可知，other27.__descriptors是对与前面并列的概括列举，故很可能表示“其
他类似的描述”。
【答案】similar,意为“类似的，相似的”。

32、【预测】 此处是对confirmation和rejection的对比。结合confirmation...inamannerconsistentwithwho
