2013年6月英语四级考试听力点评(新东方版)

2013年6月大学英语四级考试已结束，新东方在线第一时间收集整理试题及参考答案，以下是2013年6月英语四级考试听力点评(新东方版)供考生参考。


　　2013年6月全国大学英语四级考试继续采用“多题多卷”模式,即在同一考场内采用内容不同的试题组成的多套试卷实施考试，多套试卷之间的难度差异通过试卷之间的等值计算来得到平衡，因此考生的报道成绩不会因其所答试卷的不同而受影响。无论你考到哪套题，考得如何；你需要知道的是英语四级听力考试到底对我们的能力要求如何，如何才能拿到高分。如果这次考得不错，那么保持状态备战六级，如果考得不理想，认真总结自己的问题，准备下次四级考试爆发，下面我就同本次四级考试的一套题目，帮助大家分析一下四级考试中我们需要注意什么，了解什么样的考试规律，掌握什么样的考试技巧才能取得高分。

　　首先来看短对话部分　Short Conversation：

　　【总评】本次短对话部分贯穿了人物意图题的主线，8道题中考察了6道题，这种题的提问一般是What does the woman mean/imply？或者是What can we learn from the conversation? 对于这样的题目，它的答案点主要是在第二个人说话当中，以及相关出现一些逻辑关系词和言外之意的提示，以及语气它的变化，会得到答案的提示。那么除这个以外，小词题的部分，考到了两个人谈论的主题话题，还考到了地点题，地点题对于四级考生应该不陌生，而且在地点题当中，如果出现到比较常见的生活场景，大家如果基础比较牢靠的话，还是容易拿到分数的。最后还要注意短对话中“视听反向的原则“，选项中有的词，你又明显听到，这样的答案往往是错误的。

　　11.
　　 W: What are you doing in here, Sir? Didn'tyou see the private sign over there?
　　M: I'm sorry. I didn't notice it when I came in. I'mlooking for the manager's office.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】推理题——本题比较简单，注意以下private这个词，表示“私人的”。对话中男人不小心没有注意的到私人的标记，误闯了私人空间，再表面自己此行的目的是为了寻找经理的办公室。

　　12.
　　 W: Mike, what's the problem? You've knownfrom month the report is due today.
　　M: I know, but I'm afraid I need another few days.The data is hard to interpret than I expected.
　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】推理题——本题要注意due这个词，这个词表示“到期”，还考到了一个比较难的词interpret,表示“解释、说明、口译、翻译”，对话中女人询问男人报告的期限今天就到了，为何还没交，男人说因为数据很难翻译，所以还需要几天才能交报告。本题用了一个非常明显的否定思维，用but提示词预示答案，所以答案应该是：男人没有办法按时提交报告。

　　13.
　　 W: Excuse me, Tony. Has my parcel from NewYork arrived?
　　M: Unfortunately, it's been delayed due to the badweather.
　　Q: What is the woman waiting for?

　　【解析】细节题——本题中出现的parcel一词比较难，表示“包裹“，而在四级考试中我们常见的表示”包裹“的词是packet或package，所以我们可以看出四级考试对学生词汇量的要求越来越高了。而问题问的正好是这位女士在等什么，答案出现在第一句话中，女人在等parcel。很明显这道题的解题关键就在parcel一词上。

　　14.
　　 W: Pam said we won't have the psychology testuntil the end of next week.
　　M: Ellen, you should know better than to take Pam'swords for anything.
　　Q: What does the man imply about Pam?

　　【解析】推理题——本题还是对场景词汇进行考察，在校园学习场景中提到了考试这个小场景，其中出现了psychology“心理学“一词，考生应该要非常熟悉。问题问男人关于Pam的话暗示着什么，所以我们重点来看一下男的话即可，男人提醒女人说：你最好不要把Pam的话当一回事。言下之意对Pam的评价是Pam说的话不可信。

　　15.
　　 W: Tom, would you please watch my suitcasefor a minute? I need to go make a quick phone call.
　　M: Yeah, sure. Take your time. Our train does n’t leave for another twenty minutes.
　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】推理题——此题比较简单，女士让男士帮她看一下箱子，男士说火车要再等二十分钟才开，所以不着急，言下之意是火车晚点了，暂时还不会走。
　　

　　16.
　　 M: Frankly, Mary is not what I'd calledeasy-going.
　　W: I see. People in our neighborhood find it hard tobelieve she's my twin sister.
　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　【解析】推理题——此题考查了一个比较简单的短语easy-going,表示“好相处的“，男士认为Mary不是特别好相处，女士说：确实是这样，邻居不能相信Mary是女士的双胞胎妹妹，言下之意，女士比起Mary来要好相处很多。

　　17.
　　 M: How soon do you think this can be cleaned?
　　W: We have same day service, sir. You can pick upyour suit after five o'clock.
　　Q: Where does the conversation most probably takeplace?

　　【解析】地点推理题——此题又是对场景的考察，原文出现了clean一词，又出现了suit西装，言下之意是清洗西装，还提到了service和pick up suit,所以不难推出是对话发生的地点是：洗衣店“laundry“。

　　18.
　　 W: I really enjoy that piece you just play onthe piano. I bet you get a lot of requests for it.
　　M: You said it. People just can't get enough of it.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】推理题——短对话的难题一般会集中在最后两题，15题的考试也不例外，此题考到了一个大家可能不太熟悉的表达，get request for sth, 表示“受到了什么样的要求“。对话的大意是说：男人的弹奏的曲子特别的舒服安详，很多人多很享受这首曲子，于是让男士去演奏钢琴，言下之意是说男士的钢琴曲很手欢迎。
　　

　　其次来看长对话 LongConversation

　　【总评】这是一篇以面试为场景的听力对话。与采访类对话相似的是，发问者的问题往往是题目定位的关键点，而被采访者的回答往往是题目的答案。所以，对于考生来说，根据题干信息，准确定位是解题的关键。

Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats offlowers. They also took terms in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot.Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towardstheir parents of their own homes; they've learned how to work with tools, andimprove their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involvedin this project, she would not even pour a weed. The experience on Main Streetstimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their homegrounds and the total community. City officials cooperated with the 4-H membersin planting trees, building cooking facilities, pick-me tables, swings andpublic rest rooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during theearly stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in thefollowing years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project throughto completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results ofconstructive work. The project is a growing one and is spread from the park tothe school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted inthe shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.

　　Passage 3

　　Question 33 to35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　 Thank you for coming, everyone. Today’s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor carin the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you heretoday. Let’s start with power. It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there aremany alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solarpower to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars thatrun on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuelvehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electricvehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very fewrecharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developmentsin electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol enginesin terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forgetthat electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source isrechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources. Moving onto communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they’ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the userswill be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just haveto say “a bit warmer”, and theair conditioning will adjust automatically. You’ll alsobe able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So justtype in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever.
　　Questions33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　33. What is the presentation mainly about?
　　34. What used to restrict the use of electricvehicles?
　　35. What does the speaker say about electric vehiclesof today?

　　Compound Dictation

　　My favorite TV show? “The Twilight Zone.” I especially like the episodecalled “The Printer’s Devil.” It’s about a newspaper editor who’s being drivenout of business by a big newspaper syndicate – you know, a group of papersowned by the same people. He is about to commit suicide when he is interruptedby an old man who says his name is Smith. The editor is not only offered 5,000dollars to pay off his newspaper’s debts, but this Smith character also offershis services for free. It turns out that the guy operates the printing machinewith amazing speed, and soon he is turning out newspapers with shockingheadlines. The small paper is successful again. The editor is amazed at howquickly Smith gets his stories – only minutes after they happen – but soon heis presented with a contract to sign. Mr. Smith, it seems, is really the devil!The editor is frightened by this news, but he is more frightened by the idea oflosing his newspaper, so he agrees to sign. But soon Smith is reporting thenews even before it happens – and it’s all terrible – one disaster afteranother. Anyway, there is a little more to tell, but I don’t want to ruin thestory for you. I really like these old episodes of the Twilight Zone, becausethe stories are fascinating. They are not realistic. But then again, in a waythey are, because they deal with human nature.
