月英语六级听力原文



(第二套)



Conversation-1


W: You are going to give a short speech of thanks for the speaker this evening, aren’t you, Bill?



M: Yes.


W: You don’t sound very enthusiastic. It’s not that bad, is it?



M: No, I don’t mind, really. But I can never for


get the first speech of thanks I did.


W: Why? What happened?


M: Well, I was in my early twenties. I joined the local history society.


W: Yes?


M: Anyway, I went along to a lecture by a Miss Bligh.



W: Oh. Do go on.


M: She was going to talk with slides about our town in the mid-18th century. She had just published a book on the


subject which was reckoned to be quite good. So I went along. When I arrived, the secretary asked me if I could give the


speech of thanks. Rather stupidly, I said yes.


W: We’ve all don


e it.


M: Anyway, from that point on, I was scared. What should I say? I decided to make notes during the lecture and refer


to interesting parts and thank her on behalf of the society. In fact, by the time Miss Bligh stood up to talk, I was feeling


much better. But she was so nervous that she kept forgetting what to say, and she spoke almost in a whisper. People at the


back kept calling out “We can’t hear.” It was embarrassing.



W: I can imagine it.


M: At least the slides were good, that is, until the bulb in the projector blew. And she had to finish her talk with no


illustrations.


W: So what did you say in your speech of thanks?


M: What can you say? You have be polite. I mentioned the interesting facts, referred to the excellent slides, and the


finished by sa


ying “We’d all like to thank Miss Bligh for blowing out her slides.”



W: Oh, no.


M: I felt terrible. I tried to apologize, not very successfully.


W: And the speech of thanks this evening?


M: I’ll write down exactly what I’m going to say and read it careful


ly.


1. What is the man asked to do this evening?


2. What do we learn about the man?




3. What does the man say about Miss Bligh?


4. What does the man say about the first time he gave a speech of thanks?


Conversation-2


W: Another cup of tea, Paul?


M: No, than


ks. Well, what’s new, Laurie?



W: Nothing dramatic. But there is something you should know about.


M: What’s that?



W: Well, our rivals are offering extended credit terms to some of the retailers in the area.


M: Oh? Which rival is this? We only have two.


W: Barratts Company.


M: Oh, them. Well, they are hardly a threat.


W: I know they are smaller than us, but we can’t afford to ignore them.



M: Yes, you are right, Laurie. But I don’t like extended credit. It ties up cash we could put to better use elsewhere. But


,


I’ll look into it on Monday.



W: Yes. And there is something else.


M: Don’t tell me! The letter from the tax revenue office?



W: Right. How did you know?


M: Tara told me. What’s the problem?



W: Well. Tome got this letter late yesterday and then went franti


c trying to find copies of last year’s accounts.



M: Did he find them?


W: No. And he was away before I could get hold of the letter.


M: How about a drive down to the office now? And we’ll see if everything’s all right. There’s another reason why I


wanted a chat with you before Monday.


W: I thought as much. Well, go on. Surprise me.


M: How about selling that new motorcycle of yours in Indonesia?


W: What? You mean export? Paul, I think you’ve been away too long. This is Jayal Motors. We’ve never sold a bike


abroad.


M: Don’t worry, Laurie. I’m not crazy. I’ve been studying the possibility and I think we should give it a go.



W: It’s not as easy as that, though, is it? We’ll have to reorganize the whole company.



M:


Don’t


be


silly.


I


don’t


intend


starting


next


week.


We’d


have


to


plan


it


properly.


Of


course,


there


will


be


a


few


problems.




W: A few problems? I can see hundreds. For one thing, transport. I have enough trouble delivering bikes to shops only


40 miles away, never mind 5,000 miles!


M: That’s what forwardin


g agents are for.


5. What does the woman think the man should know?


6. What does the woman think of Barrats Company.


7. What did the woman say about the letter from the tax revenue office?


8. What is the man think of doing?



Passage 1



A report on sleep and nutrition released this month found that people who consistently went to bed earlier than 11 p.m.


took in fewer calories and ate more healthy food. In contrast, “night owls” who go to bed between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. tend


to consume


more coffee, alcohol, refined sugars and processed meats than early risers. This report corresponds with


the


existing scientific literature on bedtime and wellness. The relationship between geeing more sleep and making better food


choices is well-documented. A study published last year in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people


who


sleep


more


tend


to


eat


less


unhealthy


food


than


their


peers


who


don’t


get


much


rest.


And


a


2015


study


from


the


University of California, Berkeley, found that teens who go to bed late are more likely to gain weight over a five-year period.


As a group, “night owls” types tend to eat less healthy food and take in more calories overall than early risers. The later o


ne


goes


to


bed,


the


more


calories


one


records


the


next


day.


As


yet


a


challenge


to


explain


the


cause-and-effect


relationship


between sleep and nutrition, there may be a third factor that impacts both of them. Or the relationship could be reversed,


that is, people who eat less fall asleep earlier. Still, if late sleepers want to lose a few pounds, they can go to bed earlier than


they usually do, thereby, reducing their chance of taking snacks before bedtime.


do we learn about the report released this month?


10. What does the study from the University of California, Berkeley, find about teens who go to bed late?


11. What should “night owls” do to reduce their consumption of unhealthy food?



Passage 2



Researchers have found not just a diversity problem in Hollywood but actually an inclusion crisis. With less than a


week before an Oscars ceremony that has already been criticized for an all-whit list of acting nominees, a study shows the


film industry does worse than television. Just 3.4 percent of film directors were female, and only 7 percent of films has cast


whose balance of


race and ethnicity reflected the country’s diversity. When researches looked at all TV shows, they also


found


that


women


of


color


over


40


were


regarded


as


“largely


invisible”


and


just


22


percent


of


TV


series


creators


were


female. Overall, the study found half the films and TV shows had no Asian speaking characters and more than one-fifth of


them had no black characters with dialogue. The film industry still functions as a straight, whit, boy’s club. When looking a
