2011年英语六级模拟答案和解析完整版(5)

　　Green Ville

　　篇章类型及提要：

　　听力点睛：

　　本文主要从Florence Hayes，一位来自Green Ville Journal的记者的工作揭示Green Ville的治安状况。难词不多，难度适中，难词主要是对犯罪类词汇的，如violent crimes, crimes against property, rape, robbery等，考生平时阅读及词汇学习一定要各种类型都涉及一点，掌握一些基本的专业词汇。其次这类从一个人的角度去看的文章，既要注意文中主人公的主观态度，也要关注客观事实。题目很可能把2者混淆起来考查考生。

　　精剖细析：

　　32.What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?

　　答案： B)Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville。

　　解析：问女主人公作为记者的主要工作职责。题目比较简单。文章开头就给出"Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area." 且后面文章都是介绍女主人公报道的也都是镇上发生的犯罪行为。A和C选项范围大了，D选项范围有小了。只有B选项正确。

　　33.What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?

　　答案：D)It has fewer violent crimes than big cities。

　　解析：细节题。4个选项乍看都是和小镇治安有关。需要一个一个去排除。A选项文章并没有给出小镇以前和现在的治安状况对比，排除。B选项，文章的确提到了rapes，但是并没有提及在downtown areas的情况，且Greenville是个镇。C选项assaults常发生在near the bars downtown不是school campuses。如果做题时没做好笔记，关注好细节，很容易选错。

　　34. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Green Ville area?

　　答案：A) There are a wide range of cases。

　　解析：细节题。关键词是"crimes against property"，最后部分的听力中有"Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting."说明在Florence负责的犯罪行为中，和财产有关的占了大部分(make up组成)。说明这种犯罪率比较高。A选项适合。C选项乍看像是答案，但文中并给出该类案件正在不断升级。排除。

　　35. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?

　　答案：A) Write about something pleasant。

　　解析：此题听到prefer就知道答案应所锁定于听力最后。听力已经很明显给出"She would prefer to start..." C和D没有提到。B选项，文中的确提到了local news or politics，但这只是她可能想要做的事情的举例而已，并不是非常明确就一定要去做。"omething more interesting and less unpleasant"表明应该选A。

　　Section C Compound Dictation

　　听力原文

　　In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it’s picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That’s particularly true when it comes to the work place’, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career。
