2010年6月四六級(jí)最后指導(dǎo)：聽(tīng)力解題技巧

原文：

　　Long 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 (19題答案，視聽(tīng)基本一致原則)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? (聽(tīng)到choose the topic，同時(shí)看到20題選項(xiàng)by和based on，即可猜到20題是與這個(gè)問(wèn)題關(guān)聯(lián)的)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.(第20題答案，需要簡(jiǎn)單概括歸納)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(21題答案，同義替換practical experience). 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.

　　原文：

　　There are some serious problems in the Biramichi River. The local chamber of commerce, which represents the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year study on fishing in the Biramichi River(第11題答案，視聽(tīng)基本一致原則) and write a report for them. This is my report:

　　One of the major problems in the Biramichi River is that the level of oxygen in the water is too low.(第12題答案，視聽(tīng)基本一致原則，注意major的定位作用) Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources: the factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves.(第13題答案，視聽(tīng)基本一致原則)

　　Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large number. The members of cooperative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch(第14題答案，視聽(tīng)基本一致原則，注意because的定位作用), not because they were trying to preserve fishes.
