ustwatchitonTV.Doyouwanttocomeover?W:ActuallyIhaveaticket.ButI’mnotfeelingwell.Youcanhaveitforwhatitcostme.Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?此题又是非常典型的两两原则相加，即以actually为代表的关键提示词和but转折原则的相加。该对话中，男士没买到票，而女士则刚好有，她身体不舒服，故而想将自己的票以原价转让给男士，故选择Themancangettheticketatitsoriginalprice。该文主要是由“Youcanhaveitforwhatitcostme”得出。长对话此次六级长对话的考察题材秉承历年的趋势，分别为职场工作和人物访谈，考察结构也比较明晰，遵循了长对话的一贯基本结构即“引出话题，讨论话题，结束话题”以及“开头必考，结尾必考及中间话题转换处必考”的技巧及原则。例如：19.D)Heisundecidedastowhichjobtogofor.文中开始部分女士问“Soyouarenotsurewhichtogofor?”，男士回答的是“That’sit.”表明男士还没决定应该选哪份工作。20.C)Theyarealladults.由“ThePolytechnicisalladultsandmostlypreparationforexamsliketheCambridgecertificates.”可得出。21.B)Variedandinteresting.男士提及theLanguageSchoolinPistoia时说到教学类型很多时，女士回答的是“thatsoundsmuchmorevariedandinteresting.”因此该题选B。n22.C)Hostingatelevisionshow.Goodeveningandwelcometotonight'seditionofLegendaryLives.此题以推断问题考察对于文章上下文的理解，历年也有类似的考题，例如07年12月份的第19题也是利用周围的情景词来定位，这类题目需要引起重视，此外，还需注意容易混淆的A选项。23.A)Helosthismother.男士提及“Hewasn'ttherelongthoughbecausehismotherpassedawayjustfouryearslater.Jimmy'sfathersenthimbacktoIndianaafterthattolivewithhisaunt.”24.B)Hegotseriouslyintoacting.文中原句：thenhewenttocollegeinCaliforniawherehegotseriouslyintoacting25.B)Hehaslongbeenalegendaryfigure.原文提到“Sowhatmadehimthelegendhestillistoday?”说明从过去到现在JamesDean一直是一个Legend。短文题今年短文题的最大亮点在于第一篇passage，以往对于新闻性段落的考察并非在重点范围之内，而今年开篇就以此题材考察能力着实另有些考生不适应。其实，新闻性段落并非如此令人生畏，其解题方略别具一格1）特别关注导语即每段开头所包含的所有信息2）注意报道中的时间，地点，人物和数字3）转折和原因标记语后面的内容为考察重点此外，做题时如遇报道中有描述灾难性的事件，一定要尤其注意灾难的起因或结果以及数字。例如第一个passage分述了四个报道，第一个就为灾难性事件，通过文章中“Theplane,aBoeing737,takingGermanholidaymakerstotheislandcrashedintoahillsideasitcircledwhilepreparingtoland.”可以得知26题正确答案即为Itcrashedwhenitwascirclingtoland.即上文所说需关注原因。第二个报道为关于英国实业家JamesLouis被绑架八个月被释放。通过首句TheBritishindustrialistJamesLouis,heldbykidnappersinCentralAfricaforthepast8months,wasreleasedunharmedyesterday.便可知27答案为Hewaskidnappedeightmonthsago.第三个报道关于工人罢工，此题考察因果关系定位原则，出处为Thisfollowssuccessfultalksbetweenmanagementandunionrepresentatives,whichresultedinanewagreementonworkinghoursandconditions.可得28题答案为Themanagementandunionrepresentativesreachedanagreement.最后一个报道关于天气情况，最后一句Buttowardslateafternoon,rainwillspreadfromScotlandtocovermostpartsbymidnight.直接推出答案为rainy.n纵观新闻性段落题发现其考察重点多为细节部分，所以考生一定要在平时的训练过程中养成边听边记的好习惯，包括关键词，逻辑连词，重点信息等。第二和第三个段落分别考了高频段落记叙文之人物传记题及说明文，以下仍从技巧原则方面就短文题定位及技巧方法做点评。宏观上，仍就延续了六级听力短文题常考察的三大基本原则，即1）首末句定位原则例如，30题及33题的出处均在文章的首句群。30题的答案出处为Fromhisaudienceandanalysishelearnedthatonly2or3ofhisclassmatesknewmuchofanythingaboutgeology.故选择Veryfewofthemknewmuchaboutgeology.33题的答案出处为Esperantoisanartificiallanguage,designedtoserveinternationallyasanauxiliarymeansofcommunicationamongspeakersofdifferentlanguages.故选择Itisatoolofcommunicationamongspeakersofdifferentlanguages.2）转折定位原则例如，33题及35题的出处均在转折定位词后面的内容。34题的答案出处为Despiteargumentsanddisagreements,themovementhascontinuedtoflourishandhasmembersinmorethan80countries.故选Itisatoolofcommunicationamongspeakersofdifferentlanguages.35题的答案出处为Itis,however,inChinathatEsperantohashaditsgreatestimpact.故选Ithashadgreaterimpactthaninanyothercountry.3）因果定位原则例如，31题的答案出处为SincehewasspeakingintheMidwest,hedecidedtobeginbynotingthatthemostsevereearthquakeinAmericanhistorytookplacenotinCaliforniaorAlaskabutatNewMadrid,Missouriin1811.故选BynotingwherethemostsevereearthquakeinU.S.historyoccurred.此外，题中仍有细节考察点，例如第32题考察直接引语部分，“Stopme,”hesaid,“anytimeIsaysomethingyoudon’tunderstand.”为正确答案出处点，故选Stophimwhenhehaddifficultyunderstanding.值得一提的是，曾经反复强调的两两原则，或者三三原则相加也相继在今年的试卷中出现，即上述三大基本原则和其他细节原则的结合或者三大原则之间的结合，因此考生应在以后的复习中有所侧重。复合式听写最后，我们来看一下听写部分。n就单词填写而言，大多依然是对名、动、形、副词的考察。一些反复强调的易混淆易拼错单词，例如：intelligent，profound，dramatically，deprived，hindered，今年几乎都命中。在语音现象上尤其要注意弱读，比如42和43两个空格，很多粗心地考生未听清其是以动词的过去分词形式出现的，所以漏掉了-ed，丢失了分数，着实可惜。对于这样的空格，我们要注意的是进行复查以及前后文的预读，42、43空格之前都有be动词说明这两个空格绝对不可能是动词原形，所以即使没能听清或者对于语音把握不太好，仍然可以得到这宝贵的7分。在句子填空部分，依然秉承了一贯的风格，即考察复合句以及一些从句的听写。句子的填空应该抓住一定的做题方式，先听主谓宾，再听定状补，最后把逻辑连词补充完整，这样有序地填写是最佳的答题策略，在这里也把答案附上：44.researchshowsthatcommunicatingwithotherspromoteshealth,whereassocialisolationislinkedtostress,disease,andearlydeath.45.Agroupofresearchersrevealscoresofstudiesthattracetherelationshipbetweenhealthandinteractionwithothers.46.lonelinessharmstheimmunesystem,makingusmorevulnerabletoarangeofminerandmajorillnesses综上所述，虽然今年考题难度较往年有所提高，但涨幅不大，且原则技巧考察点依然遵循规律且有所侧重，所以勤奋努力的考生一点会应验”Nopains,nogains”这句谚语，在这里也对即将参加12月份考试以及这次可能失利准备重头再来的学生一句话“Ifmymindcanconceiveit,andmyheartbelieveit,IknowIcanachieveit”心有所愿，无事不成，衷心祝愿你们能在今年的冬天取得优秀的成绩。
