2010年12月六级听力原文Section A11W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. Its located in a quiet building and its close to bus lines.M: That maybe true. But look at it, its awful, the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?12M: The pictures we took at the botanical garden should be ready tomorrow.W: I cant wait to see them, Im wondering if the shots I took are as good as I thought.Q: What is the woman eager to know?13W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday?M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches but that shouldnt take too long.Q: What does the man mean?14M: This truck looks like what I need but Im worried about maintenance. For us itll have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures.W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?15M: I think your boss would be very upset when he gets your letter of resignation.W: That may be so. But in the letter, I just told him frankly I could no longer live with his poor management and stupid decisions.Q: What do we learn about the woman?16W Id like to exchange the shirt. Ive learned that the person bought it for allergic to wool.M Maybe we can find something in cotton or silk. Please come this way.Q；What does the women want to do？17M: Excuse me, Miss？Did anyone happen to turn in a new handbag? You know, its a birthday gift for my wife.W: Let me see. Oh, weve got quite a lot of womens bags here. Can you give me more detailed information, such as the color, the size and the trademark?Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?18M What are you going to do with the old house you are in heritage from your grandfatherW I once intended to sell it, but now, Im thinking of turning it into a guest house, because its still a solid structure.Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house?长对话（1925）W: When you write a novel, do you know where youre going, Dr. James?M: Yes, you must, really, if youre writing the classical detective story, because it must be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have diagrams. It doesnt mean to say that I always get it right, but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation, really, rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.W: When youre planning the basic structure, do you like to go away to be sure that youre by yourself?M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I cant even bare anybody else in the house. I dont mind much where I am as long as Ive got enough space to write, but I need to be completely alone.W: Is that very important to you?M: Oh, yes. Ive never been lonely in all my life.W: How extraordinary! Never?M: No, never.W: Youre very lucky. Someone once said that theres a bit of ice at the heart of every writer.M: Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it, watch it happening. There is this detachment and I realize that there are obviously experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often, a writer can appear to stand aside, and this detachment makes people feel theres a bit of ice in the heart. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19.

What does the man say about writers?W: There is an element there about competition then, isnt there? Because British railways are a nationalized industry. Theres only one railway system in the country. If you dont like a particular kind of big beans, you can go and buy another. But if you dont like a particular railway, you cant go and use another.M: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didnt have monopoly, you wouldnt be able to do the things you do. Well, I dont think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized.W: Do you think thats a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalized?M: Oh I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Lets face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that.W: So what are you saying then? Is it if the railways happen being nationalized, they would simply have disappeared?M: Oh, I think they would have. Theyre disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion ponds a year. The German railw
