（新听力）大学英语六级听力特训试读：
前言
为了适应新的形势下社会对大学生英语听力能力需求的变化，进一步提高听力测试的效度，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会自2016年6月考试起将对四、六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。
六级听力取消了短对话和短文听写，听力篇章从原来的3篇调整为2篇，新增了三篇讲座/讲话。调整后六级听力部分的试题结构见下表：
本书严格按照2016年最新题型编写，深入剖析六级听力考试的规律和趋势，对新旧题型层层分析、各个击破，为考生更快更好地突破改革后的六级听力题型传授制胜之道。本书特点归纳如下：高仿真讲座听力，提供高效新题操练
调整后的六级听力中，对于考生而言最难的一项要数讲座部分。讲座听力更接近英美人士正常语速，仅语速问题已经给考生带来很大挑战。再加上讲座这一文体的特殊性，其内容必然包含一定的学术价值或者是某一领域的专业知识。如果没有一定量模拟题的训练，考生在听力过程中很难准确把握听力要点。
★本书第三章15套听力模拟题中含高度仿真的讲座听力模拟题，从讲座题材、篇章长度、词句难度、问题及选项设置等多个维度，为考生提供高效新题操练。总结必备技能，扫除听力障碍
编者悉心研究历年六级听力真题，总结归纳出历年六级听力考试中经常出现的词汇、句型、语法等基础语言知识，帮助考生在迎战听力考试的同时，从根本上提高英语听力水平。
★本书第二章的“技能必备”部分为考生归纳了常考的易混词、场景词伙、常考搭配与习语、常考句式及语法难点，对这些考生必备基础技能进行一一讲解，并尽可能详尽地举例，让考生真正掌握这些基础技能，学以致用。传授应试技巧，解密最新题型
调整后的六级听力中，取消了比较容易得分的短对话题，以及单词及词组听写题。增加了难度较大的讲座/讲话，长对话及短文理解题型没有变化，但长对话题数增加1题，且增加了更具现场感的访谈式对话。
★本书第二章“技巧大点兵”介绍六级听力考试概况，剖析各听力题型的特点，由点及面，为考生提供切实有效的解题技巧。全真模拟训练，再现考场情景
编者在认真研究历年六级听力真题的基础上，把握命题规律，结合最新六级听力改革的要求，精心设计了15套全真听力模拟训练题。所选材料的题材、内容和难易程度都完全遵照历年真题和最新听力样题的要求，力求为考生创造一个全真的听力考试氛围，帮助考生提前适应听力考试状态。
★模拟训练之后配有听力原文和详尽的解析，考生可以在做完题后对照原文和解析核对答案，检查自己的问题所在。归纳词汇考点，学习事半功倍
备考时间有限，投入到听力复习的时间更是寥寥无几，为了帮助考生在较短时间内掌握更多的内容，我们特别在听力Section C讲座/讲话解析部分设计了“核心词汇及短语”这个栏目，归纳了材料中出现的六级考试的核心词汇和短语，便于考生识记，更好地熟悉讲座/讲话的话题。
本书得以顺利完成，要特别感谢汇智博纳工作室的金利、蒋志华、何静、李岩岩、李雯姬、杨云云、高楠楠、李素素等老师。他们对英语教学和研究的热爱和投入才使得本书能在第一时间与考生见面。
相信各位考生在掌握了有效的技巧后，结合科学的练习，一定会从容应对改革后的六级听力。最后祝所有备战六级考试的考生都能在听力上取得理想的成绩!新东方考试研究中心第一章样题自测与大纲解读第一节 样题自测Part II Listening Comprehension （30 minutes）Section A

M:[6]We're getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow whereupon we are going to move into temporary classrooms.And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked.As to the cause of the fire,all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times.[7]Well,as a matter of fact,we think it was a malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire.Nothing definite yet has been determined.

In today's personality stakes,nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor.We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves,perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence.[9]If someone has a great sense of humor,we reason,it means that they are happy,socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life.
[10]This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks,who believed humor to be essentially aggressive.And in fact,our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new,and not very well-founded,says Rod Martin,a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario.Being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being,his research has shown.It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws.
[11]He has found that humor is a double-edged sword.It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life,or it can be corrosive,eating away at self-esteem and irritating others.“It's a form of communication,like speech,and we all use it differently,”says Martin.We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections,but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.
Though humor is essentially social,how you use it says a lot about your sense of self.Those who use self-defeating humor,making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others,tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone.Similarly,those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.听前预测

[12]And now,if you'll walk this way,ladies and gentlemen,[13]the next room we're going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty.However,they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think you'll agree it has a very informal atmosphere,quite unlike some grand houses you visit.The curtains were never drawn,even at night,so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside,which were lit up at night.A very attractive sight.
As you can see,ladies and gentlemen,the guests were seated very informally around this oval table,which would add to the relaxed atmosphere.The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak.[14]It's rather remarkable for the fact that although it is extremely big,it's supported by just six rather slim legs.However,it seems to have survived like that for two hundred years,so it's probably going to last a bit longer.The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set—there were originally six of them.They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time,with only one plain central panel at the back and no arm-rests.[15]I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long,but people were used to more discomfort in the past.

Moderator:
Hello Ladies and Gentleman,it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today's session,Dr.Howard Miller.[16]Dr.Miller,Professor of Sociology at Washington University,has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years.Dr.Miller:
Dr.Miller:
Thank you for that introduction.Today,I'd like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together.Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties,they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves.[17]My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear,that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years.Fighting back the tears,he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up,and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process.The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence,and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them.It was,in my grandfather's own words,like having a limb cut off.He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn't important anymore.
[18]For them and some older Americans,their so-called“golden years”are at times not so pleasant,for this period can mean the decline of not only one's health but the loss of identity and self-worth.In many societies,this self-identity is closely related with our social status,occupation,material possessions,or independence.Furthermore,we often live in societies that value what is“new”or in fashion,and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans.I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming,“Hey,come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!”Unfortunately,the word“old”calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.
Now,many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform,medical care,and the development of public facilities for senior citizens.[19]And while these are vital issues that must be addressed,I'd like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned.This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group,and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.
First of all,I'd like to talk about…听前预测
