College English Test Band 6
Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In this section,
you will hear two long conversations.
At the end of each conversation,
you will hear some questions.
Both the conversation and the questions
will be spoken only once.
After you hear a question,
you must choose the best answer
from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Then mark the corresponding letter
on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line
through the centre.
Conversation One
M: It’s really amazing how many colors
there are in these Thai silks.
W: These are our new designs.
M: Oh, I don’t think I’ve seen
this combination of colors before.
W: They’re really brilliant, aren’t they?
M: Quite dazzling! May I have samples
of the new color combinations?
W: Yes, of course.
But aren’t you going to place an order?
M: We order them regularly, you know,
but I do want our buyer
who handles fabrics to see them.
W: Have you looked at the wood
and stone carvings? Did you like them?
M: Oh, they aren’t really what I’m looking for.
W: What do you have in mind?
M: That’s the trouble.
I never know exactly until I see it.
I usually have more luck
when I get away from the tourist places.
W: Out in the countryside you mean?
M: Yes, exactly.
Markets in small towns have turned out best for me.
W: You’re more interested, then,
in handicrafts that haven’t been commercialized.
M: Yes, real folk arts, pots,
dishes, basket ware—
the kinds of things that people themselves use.
W: I’m sure we can arrange a trip out
into the country for you.
M: I was hoping you’d say that.
W: We can drive out of Bangkok
and stop whenever you see something that interests you.
M: That would be wonderful! How soon could we leave?
W: I can’t get away tomorrow.
But I think I can get a car for the day after.
M: And would we have to come back the same day?
W: No, I think I’ll be able to keep the car
for three or four days.
M: Wonderful! That’ll give me time
for a real look around.
Questions 1 to 4 are based
on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What attracts the man to the Thai silks?
2. What is the man looking for in Thailand?
3. What do we learn about the trip the woman
promised to arrange for the man?
4. According to the conversation,
when will they go for the trip?
Conversation Two
W: Well, before we decide we’re going to live in Enderby,
we really ought to have a look at the schools.
We want the children to have a good secondary education,
so we’d better see what’s available.
M: They gave me some information
at the district office and I took notes.
It appears there are five secondary schools in Enderby,
three state schools and two private.
W: I don’t know if we want private schools, do we?
M: I don’t think so,
but we’ll look at them anyway.
There are Saint Mary’s,
that’s a Catholic school for girls and Carlton Abbey,
that’s a very old boys’ boarding school,
founded in 1672.
W: Are all the state schools co-educational?
M: Yes, it seems so.
W: I think little Keith is very good with his hands.
We ought to send him to a school
with good vocational training—
carpentry, electronics, that sort of thing.
M: In that case,
we are best off at Enderby Comprehensive.
I gather they have excellent workshops and instructors.
But it says here the Donwell
also has good facilities.
Enderby High has a little,
but they are mostly academic.
No vocational training at all at Carlton Abbey
or Saint Mary’s.
W: What are the schools like academically?
How many children go on to university every year?
M: Well, Enderby High is very good.
And Carlton Abbey even better.
70% of their pupils go on to university.
Donwell isn’t so good. Only 8%.
And Enderby Comprehensive
and Saint Mary’s not much more,
about 10%.
W: Well, it seems like
there is a broad selection of schools.
But we’ll have to find out more than
statistics before we can decide.
Questions 5 to 8 are based
on the conversation you have just heard.
5. What do the speakers want their children to have?
6. What do the speakers say about little Keith?
7. What school has the highest percentage
of pupils who go on to university?
8. What are the speakers going to do next?
Section B
Directions: In this section,
you will hear two passages.
At the end of each passage,
you will hear some questions.
Both the passage and the questions
will be spoken only once.
After you hear a question,
you must choose the best answer
from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Then mark the corresponding letter
on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line
through the centre.
Passage One
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
As instructed in our previous meeting,
the subcommittee on building development
has now drawn up a brief to submit
to the firm’s architect.
In short, the building would consist of two floors.
There would be a storage area in the basement
to be used by the research centre
as well as by other departments.
We are, as you know,
short of storage base,
so the availability of a large basement
would be a considerable advantage.
The ground floor would be occupied by laboratories.
Altogether there would be six labs.
In addition,
there would be six offices for the technicians,
plus a general secretarial office and a reception area.
The first floor would be occupied
by the offices of Research and Development staff.
There would be a suite of offices
for the Research and Development Director
as well as a general office for secretarial staff.
It’s proposed to have a staff room with a small kitchen.
This would serve both floors.
There would also be a library
for research documents and reference material.
In addition, there would be a resource room
in which audio-visual equipment
and other equipment of that sort could be stored.
Finally, there would be a seminar room
with closed-circuit television.
This room would also be used to
present displays and demonstrations
to visitors to the centre.
The building would be of brick construction
so it’s to conform to the general style
of construction on the site.
There would be a pitched roof.
Wall and ceiling spaces would be
insulated to conform to new building regulations.
Questions 9 to 11 are based
on the passage you have just heard.
9. What is said about the planned basement
of the new building?
10. Where would be the Research
and Development Director’s office?
11. Why would the building be
of brick construction?
Passage Two
Huang Yi works for a company
that sells financial software to
small- and medium-size businesses.
His job is to show customers
how to use the new software.
He spends two weeks with each client,
demonstrating the features and functions of the software.
The first few months on the job were difficult.
He often left the client feeling that even
after two weeks he hadn’t been able
to show the employees everything they needed to know.
It’s not that they weren’t interested;
they obviously appreciated his instruction
and showed a desire to learn.
Huang couldn’t figure out if the software
was difficult for them to understand,
or if he was not doing a good job of teaching.
During the next few months,
Huang started to see some patterns.
He would get to a new client site
and spend the first week
going over the software with the employees.
He usually did this in shifts,
with different groups of employees
listening to him lecture.
Then he would spend the next week
installing the program
and helping individuals troubleshoot.
Huang realized that during the week
of troubleshooting and answering questions,
he ended up addressing the same issues over and over.
He was annoyed because most of the individuals
with whom he worked seem to
have retained very little information
from the first week.
They asked very basic questions
and often needed prompting from beginning to end.
At first, he wondered if these people
were just a little slow,
but then he began to get the distinct feeling
that part of the problem might
be his style of presenting the information.
Questions 12 to 15 are based
on the passage you have just heard.
12. What does Huang Yi do in his company?
13. What did Huang Yi think of his work?
14. What did Huang Yi do in addition to lecturing?
15. What did Huang Yi realize in the end?
Section C
Directions: In this section,
you will hear recordings of lectures
or talks followed by some questions.
The recordings will be played only once.
After you hear a question,
you must choose the best answer
from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Then mark the corresponding letter
on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line
through the centre.
Now listen to the following recording
and answer questions 16 to 19.
Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
It gives me great pleasure
to introduce our speaker for today's lecture,
Dr. Peter Parker.
Dr. Parker, professor of sociology at Yale University,
has written numerous articles and books
on the topic of self-control,
which sounds easy but is difficult to do perfectly.
Dr. Parker: Thank you for that introduction.
I feel happy to meet you here.
Many wise people believe that
anger is nothing more than just a weakness.
The feeling of anger can mess with your mind
and make you take pointless
and even risky decisions.
It's extremely important to be more patient
when you are angry
in order to avoid grief and sorrow in the future.
It's scientifically proved that
the feeling of anger
can seriously damage your mental and physical health,
because it produces the same psychological
and physiological effects as stress.
Furthermore,
anger can destroy your social, personal and professional relationships.
That's why you shouldn't let anger
exert negative influence on your life.
The best way to avoid mistakes
when you're feeling angry is to calm down
and return to the situation
when you're thinking as clearly as you normally do.
I hope this speech will teach you to manage anger
and live in accord with society.
Unfortunately,
many people tend to use social media
in order to vent and broadcast angry information and thoughts
to big masses of people.
By all means,
you shouldn't post your anger on social networks.
It's not a wise decision
to tell the whole world how you feel at the moment,
because you'll have the risk of
getting a negative reputation in the society.
Plus, various angry comments can deject your friends' spirit.
Try to accentuate your blessings, not weaknesses.
When I want to make a right decision,
I prefer to focus on the situation
and weigh all advantages and disadvantages.
Moreover,
it's desirable to do things when you are calm.
If you make a decision
under the pressure of anger or other negative feelings,
you'll regret and find them mad or foolish later.
It's of great importance
to develop the skill to keep emotions under control
when you are dealing with serious life questions.
You should draw a line between emotions
and your life responsibilities.
You may not notice,
but when you're angry
you often take it out on others.
Do something to control your feelings,
if you don't want to burn bridges
and offend people around you.
You may use different breathing techniques,
which help to reduce stress and eliminate the feeling of anger.
If nothing helps,
then try to get away and calm down.
I think your circle of contacts
shouldn't suffer from your feelings.
Successful and wise people
tend to make their bad day better,
instead of spoiling the mood of those
who are around them.
Hope you learn something from today's lecture.
Thanks for listening!
16. What does the introduction say
about Dr. Parker's articles and books?
17. What has been scientifically proven
according to the speaker?
18. Which is the result of telling the whole world how we feel?
19. What should we draw a line between?
Now listen to the following recording
and answer questions 20 to 22.
Morning, everyone.
Nice to meet you here.
Everyone wants to be happy and live a better life,
but we are so focused on our own goals
that we often forget about things
we should do to make the world a happier place.
Regardless of your age, sex and nationality,
you can make our planet a better place to live.
While you can't do it alone,
you can set a good example
and inspire others to help you.
Don't think that your small attempts
and efforts will do nothing.
The truth is,
many people think this way
and that's the major reason
why we live in a cruel modern world
full of selfish people and those
who lack confidence to change something.
Don't be afraid to express yourself
and don't be afraid to follow your own rules.
Help your children grow up in a happy society.
Here are some of the best things
you can do to make this world a happier place.
It's so tempting to be rude to people you hate,
but don't let anger and hatred divide people into good and bad.
You don't know the whole story
so you can't judge anyone.
You don't know their thoughts and feelings.
After all, there are people
who may think that you are a bad person.
Be nice to people and they will be nicer to you.
Even if they are not nice to you, then let it be.
You don't need to be perfect
and make everyone love you.
Get rid of the feelings of hatred
and you will feel much happier.
Let's be honest,
it's not easy to help someone for free.
You should be a really kind person to volunteer.
Helping people in need,
animals in need and the nature
is one of the best things you can do each day
to make the world a better and happier place to live.
Feed stray animals and birds each day,
help your neighbors,
volunteer at shelters at least once a month,
plant flowers and trees,
make donations if you can afford,
and do anything you can to help make this world better.
You don't have to be rich to help others.
I know many poor people
who do more good deeds than my rich friends.
I'm not a rich woman either,
and I don't make lots of money,
but I do my best to help others live a happier life.
Hope you enjoy today's lecture.
Thanks for listening!
20. Why is the world full of selfish people
according to the speaker?
21. What should we do to those who are not nice to us?
22. What do we know about the speaker's friends?
Now listen to the following recording
and answer questions 23 to 25.
Today, we are going to talk about change.
The one constant thing in our life is change.
We cannot avoid it
and the more we resist change
the tougher our life becomes.
There is no avoiding it
because it will find you, challenge you,
and force you to reconsider how you live your life.
Change can come into our lives
as a result of a crisis,
as a result of choice or by chance.
In either situation
we are all faced with having to make a choice
—do we make the change or not?
I believe it is always better to make changes in your life
when you choose to rather than being forced to.
We however cannot avoid the unexpected events
in our lives
because it is these events that
challenge our complacency in life.
What we can control
when we are experiencing these challenging events,
is how we choose to respond to them.
It is our power of choice
that enables us to activate positive change in our lives.
Acting on our power of choice
provides us with more opportunity
to change our lives for the better.
The more opportunities we create to change our lives
the more fulfilled and happier our lives become.
Here are some things that you can do
in your life
that will change your life for the good, forever:
Spend some time trying to sort out
what is important in your life
and why is it important.
What is it that you want to achieve in your life?
What are your dreams?
What makes you happy?
Your meaning in life gives you purpose
and sets the direction
of how you want to live your life.
Without meaning
you will spend the rest of your life
wandering through life aimlessly with no direction, focus, or purpose.
When we were children
we would daydream all the time.
We were skilled at dreaming and visualising
what we would be when we grew up.
We believed that anything was possible.
As we grew into adults
we lost our ability to dream.
Our dreams became hidden,
and we started to feel like
achieving our dreams was impossible.
A dream board is a great way for you
to start believing in your own dreams again.
Seeing our dreams every day on a dream board
brings our dreams to life.
Our dreams become real
and we start to believe in the possibility of achieving these dreams.
Once you know what is important in your life
and what your dream life looks like to you,
you need to take action
and set your long-term, medium, and short-term goals.
It is acting on these goals
that enable you to achieve your dreams.
Thanks for listening!
23. What should we do with changes in life?
24. What can we control
when we are experiencing challenging events?
25. What can meaning in life give us?
This is the end of listening comprehension.
