【点评】
短对话
今年的六级听力短对话从提问方式来看,还是以推理题居多,如第12、13、15题都需要考生们从对话后中推理出“言下之意”。
14、17题考查学生在听完对话后是否能够把握准确,推理出暗示内容。
六级考试的短对话内容还是主要以日常生活为大背景,穿插了新闻、住房等话题,考生们应该比较熟悉。
短对话中没有太多的生词和难词,第11题的spine(脊椎)其实也并不影响考生答题,因其实际上并不是考查点。
总而言之,今年的短对话难度适中,考生如能准确把握对话的中心内容,在听力上得分并不是件难事。

【点评】:
本文节选自2009年7月的《纽约时报》,原文标题为InterracialRoommatesCanReducePrejudice。
文章属于社会类话题,大意为俄亥俄州立大学的一位名为RussellFazio的心理学教授研究不同人种混居的有趣现象以及结论。
无独有偶,2011年6月四级真题阅读理解SectionB的Passage1也选用了相同的话题,大家平时在备考中要对真题重视起来哦!
