oderator:Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure t
o introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard M
iller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington Universit
y, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing o
lder Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. olde
r Americans / senior citizens 同义词（组）置换Several years ago when m
y grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced wit
h the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for them
selves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leavin
g the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting ba
ck the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built thei
r home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and
laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell
their home and give up their independence, and move into a retire
ment home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, i
n my grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He excl
aimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t important anymo
re. 17 the home he had lived in for 60 years.同（近）义的表达For the
m and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at
times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of n
ot only one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In
many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our so
cial status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. F
urthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” o
r in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language
is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would
your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, com
e to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought
!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need
to replace or discard. 18 原文未变Now, many of the lectures
given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension re
form, medical care, and the development of public facilities for
senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be ad
dressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that
will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned.
This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means t
o be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elder
ly can play and should play in our societies. 19Finding meaningfu
l roles for the elderly in society.原文词序变化，减词Now listen to the fol

rural people about health and nutrition. D) Targeted hunger-relie
f programs at pregnant women and young children.The 2010 Global H
unger Index report was released today by the International Food P
olicy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years,
experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment betwee
n conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious and l
ong-lasting impacts. Undernourishment during this approximate
ly 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and developmen
t of children and render them more likely to get sick and die tha
n well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop
both physically and mentally. 20It seriously impacts their
physical and mental development. 词性转换，语序调整 （表达转换）21Says IFPRI’
s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school
. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI h
as actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished
have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”Ruel
says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations
depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.“This is
why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to imp
rove nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irre
versible.”have higher wages / get better pay.??????同（近）义的表达22
Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and imple
menters are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the
United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant w
omen and young children. They focus on improving diets or providi
ng micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care
and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of
a child’s life. Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to
reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of vol
unteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutri
tion. “They really did very active promotion of diversity in th
e diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food t
o people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also
educating people on how to feed their young children.”Recruited v

3 I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that i
s the nature of the product or service. There are certain product
s and services that are very suitable for selling online, and oth
ers that simply don’t work. Suitable products generally have a
high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvio
us examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to pos
t, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success
of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop c
omputers are another good product for selling online.The high val
ue-to-weight ratio of its goods.原文未变2424 Many successful virtu
al companies provide digital services, such as financial transact
ions, in the case of Paypal, or means of communication, as Skype
does. The key to success here is providing an easy-to-use, reliab
le service. Do this and you can easily become the market leader,
as Skype has proved.Products which are potentially embarrassing t
o buy also do well in the virtual environment. Some of the most p
rofitable e-commerce companies are those selling sex-related prod
ucts or services. For a similar reason, online gambling is highly
popular.24 Products which are usually considered unsuitable f
or selling online include those that have a taste or smell compon
ent. Food, especially fresh food, falls into this category, along
with perfume. Clothes and other items that need to be tried on s
uch as diamond rings and gold necklaces are generally not suited
to virtual retailing, and, of course, items with a low value-to-w
eight ratio.Those having a taste or smell component原文未变25 Ther
e are exceptions, though. Online grocery shopping has really take
n off, with most major supermarkets offering the service. The inc
onvenience of not being able to see the food you are buying is ou
tweighed by the time saved and convenience of having the goods de
livered. Typical users of online supermarkets include the elderly
, people who work long hours and those without their own transpor

、内容丰富，面对如此陌生的语料，我们该从开头段落得到哪些启示呢?下面我们以大纲样文中的三篇讲座听力为模板进行讲解。听力讲座重点听开
头，这并不是一句空话，而是富有很深内涵的实战经验。这是因为，开头部分一般提出文章所要阐述的问题或是作者的看法，正确理解开头部分能够
帮助我们顺利听出后面文章内容。开头部分一般有一两句话最为重要，是文章的中心句。样题分析拿这几篇文章为例，在第一篇文章中的关键句是：
Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has
written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Am
ericans in our graying society for the past 15 years. (给予讲座的教授的职位
和专长，在听时尤其要对 on the issues facing older Americans in our graying s
ociety给予很大的关注力，这一短语告知我们这篇文章将要谈论的主题是有关美国老龄化社会中的老龄人的状况。样题分析 在第二篇
文章中的关键句是：It(it指代上一句The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was releas
ed today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFP
RI)的The 2010 Global Hunger Index report). notes that, in recent y
ears, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment b
etween conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious
and long-lasting impacts. (开篇中出现note, conclude, suggest等字眼时要重点关注，
一般是研究发现的结论，也是本篇文章的主题内容，更是容易设题的地方)样题分析在第三篇文章中的关键句是I’d like to look
at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the p
roduct or service. (提出讲座的话题：电子商务的一个重要方面—商品或是服务的本质)There are certa
in products and services that are very suitable for selling onlin
e, and others that simply don’t work. Suitable products generally
have a high value-to-weight ratio. (适合网上销售的商品以及举例说明) 从上面的例子我们可以
看出开篇段落的重要作用，能够掌握开篇对我们掌握整篇文章起着事半功倍的效用，所以大家一定要重视开篇的内容。题型分析除了取消掉小对话和
复合式听写以外，最大的变化就是增加了讲座和讲话，其背后暗示的是四六级级命题委员会要加强大学生，尤其是硕士研究生在国外利用英语的新知
识学习能力，增加讲座测试的意义在于，假设学生走进英语国家的大学课堂，你是否能听懂真正的外国教授的英文授课，这种题型的设计更加接近于
托福考试中的lecture，命题设计也和托福考试十分相似，其出题点在于：.段首段尾句：任何一个篇章第一句话往往是重点总结性质的词汇
：in brief, in particular, in short, all in all, generally speakin
g, conclude, conclusion, in a word, so , you see, in fact, we can
say, ok, anyway设问句：一般疑问听升调，特殊疑问听特殊疑问词（5w+1h)重复性质的信息：指实词重复首段转折：在第

assage中出现转折对比的词汇，往往被转折对比的后面为正确答案。 Although, though, even though,
despite, in spite of, however, but, yet, well, not…but…, instead

tunately7.因果关系：重因轻果because, cause, for, as, since, be due to, lea

选取讲座或演讲的录音作为听力素材，基于内容设置单选题，一共三篇讲座或演讲，共10题。从官方提供的样题中可见其特点，新六级样题讲座/
讲话听力第三段：选项难度和六级听力选项一贯难度保持一致，结合样题中的三篇演讲题的选项，由长句子构成的选项明显变得更多，对考生预习选
项的能力有了更高的要求，此为难点一；由于讲座、演讲的内容总是和某一专业性主题相关，所以在内容上容易出现专业性较强的表述，如样题中2
3题的D选项“The high value-to-weight ratio of its goods.”，在阅读选项的时候，这些选项会造成不小障碍，此为难点二。解题思路新六级的讲座/讲话听力素材来源比较复杂，样题中第一篇来自托福原题，第二篇来自VOA，最长的一篇原文字数达到了450词。讲座/讲话听力题型的内容往往会比较专业，但是在形式上，由于是演讲内容，很多时候更偏向于口语表达。这类题型同样有着特定的行文方式和风格，考生需要靠日常多积累，多练习，方能轻松应对。解题思路最后这类题型值得关注的，也是最重要的一点，样题中几乎所有题目的正确答案都在原文中完整被呈现出来，也就是俗称的“听到什么选什么”，和被取消的考查逻辑思维的短对话相比，从某种程度上说，对考生来说反而是好事。我们推荐参加六级考试的同学，去听哈佛、耶鲁等名校公开课，选择难度较低的，偏社会学科类别的课程进行学习和积累，另外也可以到TED的官网去听TED演讲。题型解读 样题中给出的三段新闻全部来源于BBC新闻，难点主要在于：1. 语音。语速快，口音陌生。 很多同学平时听英语新闻的难点之一就在于新闻的语速相对于普通四级听力语速较快。BBC新闻的正常语速为1分钟150-180词，而大学英语四级考试听力部分的语速是每分钟130-150个单词。2. 词汇。词汇难度大。 新闻中会出现很多地名等专有名词，还会有很多专业术语和新闻常用语(如blast, rebel等) 四级新闻听力字数130，长的150 六级讲座和演讲360-520， 一篇长篇阅读。内容。语言表达过于专业。曾经的短对话题型，句型及表达较口语化，相比而言，专业的新闻中的句型句式在语法结构上会更加严谨和复杂。新闻内容一般涉及时政、经济、科技、娱乐、体育等。CET考试已经越来越注重考察学生真实的听力能力和水平，考试的技巧性正在逐步降低。考试的内容也更加强调实用性，逐步打破中国学生以应试为目的的学习方式。考试难度有明显提升，进一步向托福雅思等国际权威性考试接近。加强听说能力！123 |
