六级听力新题型 练习II 录音文字Section AConversation OneM: We're having a debate on advertising Thursday evening and I have to take part.W: That's interesting. I should like to hear what people think about advertising.M: What's there to say? We must have advertising, mustn't we?W: Why?M: Well, we wouldn't know what there was to buy if we didn't have advertisements.W: Yes, that's true up to a point. Advertisements provide information that we need. If someone has produced a new article, naturally, the seller wants to tell us about it.M: Yes. And the advertisements tell us which product is the best.W: Do they? I don't think so. Every manufacturer says that his product is the best or at least tries to give the impression. Only one can be the best, so the others are misleading, aren't they?M: Well, in a way, I suppose. But we don't have to believe them, do we?W: Are you saying that advertisements aren't effective? I don't think that intelligent businessmen will spend millions of dollars on advertising if nobody believes the advertisements, do you?M: Perhaps not. But after all, it's their money that they are spending.W: Is it? I think not. The cost of advertising is added to the price of the article. You and I and all the other people who buy the article pay for the advertising.M: Well, I suppose we get something for our money...some information.W: Yes, but don't forget it's often misleading information, and sometimes harmful.M: Harmful?W: What about advertisements designed to persuade young people to smoke cigarettes? Wouldn't you say they are harmful?M: You've given me a lot to think about.I'm quite looking forward to the debate now.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What's the man's attitude towards advertisements?2. What do we know about advertisements according to the woman?3. In the woman's opinion, who paid the money spent on advertisements?4. Why does the woman say advertisements are sometimes harmful?Conversation TwoW: May I help you?M: Yes, my wife and I want to take a vacation this winter to some place warmer.W: I understand. How much time do you have?M: Only a week between Christmas and the New Year. That is the problem, you see.W: Oh, no problem at all. I can get you on a flight to sunny Spain and Portugal leaving on Christmas and coming back New Year's Eve. And it will only cost you $500 a round trip.M: Only $500? We were thinking of something less.$1,000 is a lot to spend for such a short time. If we had a month maybe, not just a week.W: Do you know about the Florida Fun tour the airline offers? Everything is reserved for you. Your flight, a reserved hotel room, meals, and they even get you to and from the airport in Miami.M: Actually we don't go in much for arranged tours. We like to do all that for ourselves.W: Well, in that case, maybe we could just arrange your flight and the rest to you.M: What else do you have to offer? Florida is not exactly our idea of a great vacation. What about some place a little different where few tourists go?W: Oh, some place like Arizona, right? Or maybe New Mexico? Sunny, but quiet, relaxing.M: Yeah, that sounds better-New Mexico. I'll talk to my wife about it and then return.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. Where does this conversation most probably take place?6. Why does the man decide not to go to Spain?7. What does the woman say about the Florida Fun tour?8. What do we learn about New Mexico from the conversation?Section BPassage OneNo man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if you study correctly the signs around uswe can tell important changes in weather. This way of telling what the weather will be on the following day or two is called weather forecasts. For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel pain in their bones. This is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel pain their bones. This is a sign of the coming of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming. They fly near the ground if rain or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows always come in 。
