College English Test Band-6
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations
and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation,
one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
After each question there will be a pause.
During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
and decide which is the best answer.
Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
with a single line through the centre.
Now let's begin with the eight short conversations.
11. W: I forgot to tell you that Fred called last night
to borrow your sleeping bag.
M: Oh, I saw him at the gym this morning, but he didn’t say anything.
So he must have asked somebody else.
Q: What does the man imply?
12. W: These summer days are getting to be more than I can take.
It was even too hot to go to the pool yesterday.
M: Hang in there. According to the weather report
we should have some relief by the end of the week.
Q: What does the man mean?
13. W: Well, tonight we have Professor Brown in our studio
to talk about the famous oil painting of Queen Victoria.
Good evening, professor.
M: Good evening, madam, my pleasure to be here tonight.
Q: What is the woman doing?
14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown.
You wouldn’t know by looking at them that I water them every week.
W: Maybe they don’t like direct sunlight.
I had the same problem with some of my plants.
And a little shade helps them immensely.
Q: What does the woman imply?
15. M: I’m really exhausted, Mary.
But I don’t want to miss the Hollywood movie that comes on at 11.
W: If I were you, I’d skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow.
And anyway I’ve heard it’s not as exciting as advertised.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
16. M: Those modern sculptures over there are really weird.
Don’t you think so?
W：Well, I couldn’t stand them either at first.
But now I’ve come to like modern art,
particularly those sculptures carved by Italian artists.
Q: What does the woman mean?
17. M: I’m really glad our club decided to raise money
for the children’s hospital.
And most of the people we phoned seemed happy to contribute.
W: Yeah! I agree.
Now that we’ve gone through all the numbers on our list,
I guess we can call it a day.
Q: What do we learn about the speakers?
18. M: Have you heard of Professor Smith?
I’m thinking of taking an advanced engineering course with him.
What do you think?
W: Yeah! You really should. He’s published dozens of books so far,
once been recommended as a textbook for postgraduates.
Q: What does the woman imply?
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation one
W: You’re the editor of Public Eye.
What kind of topics does your program cover?
M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories.
We don’t cover international stories.
We don’t cover party politics or economics.
We do issues of general social concern to our British audience.
They can be anything from the future of the health service
to the way the environment is going downhill.
W: How do you choose the topic? Do you choose one because
it’s what the public wants to know about or because
it’s what you feel the public ought to know about?
M: I think it’s a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling
that something is important and you want to see it examined
and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes
people come to you with things they are worried about
and they can be quite small things. They can be a story
about corruption in local government,
something they cannot quite understand,
why it doesn’t seem to be working out properly,
like they are not having their litter collected properly or
the dustbins emptied.
W: How do you know that you’ve got a really successful program?
One that is just right for the time?
M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it
in a number of years.
You know which stories are going to get the attention.
They are going to be published just the point
when the public are concerned about that.
