2006年6月大学英语六级考试听力原文

Born and raised in central Ohio, I am a country girl through and through. I'm currently studying to become a physical therapist, a career path that marks a great achievement for me. At Ohio State University, admission into the physical therapy program is intensely competitive. I made it pass the first course the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, because for years I had been determined to become a physical therapist. I received advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding another course for my life. I just couldn't do it. I knew I could not be as happy at another profession. So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year, and reapplied. Happily, I received notice of my admission. Later I found out that less than 15% of the applicants had been offered positions that year. Now, in the first two years of professional training, I couldn't be happier with my decision not to give up all my dream. My father told me that if I want it badly enough, I will get in. Well, Daddy, I want it, so there. After graduation, I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and work in a children's hospital for a year or two. So many of the children there are physically handicapped, but most hospitals don't have the funding to hire and train staff to care for them properly. I would like to change that somehow.11. What is the speaker's field of study?12. According to the speaker, what contributed to her admission to Ohio State University?13. Why does the speaker want to go to a Latin American country?Passage Two

Gabriela Mistral was once an ordinary teacher in a small village school in northern Chile. Towering mountains separated her village from the world outside. Gabriela Mistral was only 15 when she began teaching, but she was a good teacher. She helped the minds of her students scale the mountain walls and reached out to the world beyond. For 18 years, Gabriela devoted her life to the poor farm children of Chile's northern valleys. During part of this time, she was director of schools in all of Chile. Before long, many countries recognized her as a great friend of children and a leader in education. In 1922, she was invited to Mexico to help organize the Rural School System. Two years later, Gabriela Mistral came to the United States where she served as a visiting professor in several colleges. In New York city, a group of teachers help to finance the publication of her first book of poetry. Some of her books have been translated into 6 different languages. She gave the income from some of her books to help poor and neglected children. Beginning in the 1920s, her interests reached out to broader fields. Statesmen asked her advice on international problems. She tried to break through the national barriers that hindered the exchange of ideas among the Spanish-speaking people of South America. She tried to develop a better understanding between the United States and countries of Latin America. In 1945, she gained world-wide recognition by winning the Nobel Prize in literature, the first South American to win the prize.14. Where did Gabriela Mistral start her teaching career?15. How did Gabriela Mistral help the poor children of her hometown?16. Why did many countries think highly of Gabriela Mistral?17.

Over time, animals have developed many ways to stay away from predators. A predator is an animal that hunts and eats other animals. Hiding is one of the best ways to stay alive. Some animals hide by looking like the places where they live, to see how this works, let's look at the Sea Dragon. It is a master of disguise. The Sea Dragon is covered with skin that looks like leaves. The skin helps the Dragon look like a piece of seaweed. A hungry meat-eater would stay away from anything that looks like seaweed. Other animals stay safe by showing their colors. They want other animals to see them. Scientists call these bright colors warning colors. You have probably seen animals that have warning colors. Some grasshoppers show off their own bright colors. Those colors don't just look attractive. They tell their enemies to stay away. Of course, hungry predators sometimes ignored the warning. They still go after the grasshopper. If that happens, the grasshopper has a backup defense. It makes lots of foam. The foam tastes so bad that the predator won't do it again. Color doesn't offer enough protection for some other animals. They have different defenses that help them survive in the wild. Many fish live in groups or schools that's because there is safety in numbers. At the first sign of trouble, schooling fish swim as close together as they can get. Then the school of fish makes lots of twists and turns. All that movement makes it hard for predators to see individuals in a large group.18. What is the speaker mainly talking about?19. What protects the Sea Dragon from the meat-eater's attack?20. According to the passage, why do many fish stay in groups?

You have probably heard of the DuPont company, which was founded by a family of the same name. But do you know about the museum that one of the family members began? Henry Francis du Pont was an heir to Delaware's DuPont Company fortune. He was one of the first serious collectors of American decorative art objects: furniture, textiles, paintings and other objects made in United States between 1640 and 1840. American furniture and household objects had been considered inferior to those from Europe. But du Pont helped develop a new appreciation for American decorative arts. He created a legendary show plays for these objects on his family estate just outside Wilmington, Delaware. In 1951, it was open to the public as the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum. The museum assembled objects from du Pont's collection into 175 period rooms, each with examples of American antiques and decorative arts that followed a certain theme of period in early American history. For example, the du Pont dining room has furniture dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. And because this was the time when the United States became a new nation, there's a patriotic theme in the room. Another example is the Chinese parlor, which has furnishings that would reflect American's fascination with Asian culture during the 18th century. In these period rooms, du Pont believed he could tell the story of the early United States through furniture and other decorative arts.11. What is Henry Francis du Pont noted for?12. What was the purpose of du Pont's efforts?13. How were the objects on display arranged?Passage Two

According to David Grattle, a British language expert, the idea that English will become the world language is outdated. And people are more likely to switch between two or more languages for routine communication in the future. The share of the world's population that speaks English as a native language is falling. Instead, English will play a growing role as a second language. A population speaking more than one language is already the case in much of the world and is becoming more common in the United States. Indeed, the census bureau reported last year that nearly one American in five speaks a language other than English at home, with Spanish taking the lead, followed by Chinese. Grattle works for British consulting and publishing business. He anticipates a world with the share of people who are native English speakers slips from 9% in the mid 1990s to 5% in 2050. Grattle says,“Up until 1995, English was the second most common native tongue in the world, trailing only Chinese. By 2050, Chinese will continue its predominance with Hindi Woodoo of India and Arabic climbing past English and Spanish nearly equal to it.”In contrast, an American language expert, David Harrison noted that the global share of English is much larger if you count second language speakers, and will continue to rise even as the proportion of native speakers declines. Harrison disputed listing Arabic in the top three languages because varieties of Arabic spoken in such countries as Egypt and Morocco are mutually incomprehensible.14. What does David Grattle say about the use of languages for daily communication in the future?15. Why doesn't David Harrison include Arabic as one of the top three languages?16. What can we infer from the passage?Passage Three
