College English Test Band 6
Part II Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In this section,
you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
At the end of each conversation,
one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
After each question there will be a pause.
During the pause,
you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
and decide which is the best answer.
Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1
with a single line through the centre.
Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
1. W: Peter has been working five part-time jobs since he started college.
He was working all day yesterday. I don't see how he does it.
M: Yeah... me either.
He went back to his dormitory 10 p.m.
I don't see how anyone can keep up this pace of life.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
2. M: Excuse me, madam.
Can I buy a ticket direct from here to Cleveland?
W: Yes, but you will have to transfer at Seattle to a domestic airline.
But that's no problem. They fly quite often.
Q: What would the man most probably do?
3. W: Hi, I have a map of the campus,
but I still can't find the building with the new library in it.
Can you tell me how to get there?
M: That's because it's an old map.
Follow me, I'm going that way myself.
Q: What does the man mean?
4. M: I hear a newly-invented drug can make people tell the truth
and it may prove useful in questioning terrorists. Isn't it incredible?
W: Simple solutions to complex problems rarely succeed.
As far as I know, no such drugs are ever known to work.
Q: What does the woman imply about the new drug?
5. M: I can't believe I have almost spent all 9,000 dollars of my student loan.
That money was supposed to last me all year.
W: Maybe you should start thinking twice before you spend money,
like you've been told time and time again.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
6. W: Your stereo is too loud.
The neighbors just called to complain, you know.
M: Oh, yeah? I'll turn it down when they do something about their dog
which keeps me awake all night with its barking.
Q: What does the man imply?
7. M: You know, every time I see you reviewing the notes
I will wonder whether I'm behind.
Are we really on Unit 6 already?
W: What do you mean? I have to stay ahead. I work in the evenings.
Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?
8. W: Something is definitely bugging you.
Why are you walking up and down the room?
M: It's this presentation I have to give tomorrow.
I'm a bit worried but I'll get over it by then.
Q: What does the man mean?
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Honey, the basketball game is about to start.
And could you bring some chips and a bowl of ice cream?
And... uh... a slice of pizza from the fridge.
W: Anything else?
M: No, that's all for now. Hey, honey, you know,
they're organizing a company basketball team,
and I'm thinking about joining. What do you think of it?
W: Humph.
M: "Humph"! What do you mean "Humph"?
I was the star player in high school.
W: Yeah, twenty-five years ago.
Look, I just don't want you to have a heart attack
running up and down the court.
M: So, what are you suggesting? Should I just abandon the idea?
I'm not that out of shape.
W: Well, you ought to at least have a physical check before you begin.
I mean, it has been at least five years since you played at all.
M: Well, okay, I agree with you.
W: And you need to watch your diet
and cut back on the fatty foods, like ice cream.
And you should try eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.
M: Yeah, you're probably right.
I should do something to improve my diet.
W: And you should take up a little weight training
to strengthen your muscles or perhaps try cycling.
Oh, and you need to go to bed early
instead of watching TV half the night.
M: Hey, you're starting to sound like my personal fitness instructor!
W: No, I just love you,
and I want you to be around for a long, long time.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
9. What does the man want to do?
10. What is the woman's first suggestion to her husband?
11. Why does the woman suggest the man cycle?
Conversation Two
M: Good morning, Dr. Smith. My name is Peter.
I am a freshman in your department.
There are a few things that I am not quite sure of
and I do need your advice.
W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter.
As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you.
M: Thanks. It's about my major...
W: Well, what's the matter?
M: I used to major in English,
but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics,
concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
W: So you want to switch majors?
M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible.
W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits.
M: That's good news for me.
I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing.
I want to be a real teacher, Professor.
But I'm worried about the make-up credits.
W: You usually do have to make up some credits
when you switch majors.
Are you OK on credits?
M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits
as far as I can figure from my transcript.
Would you please let me know
how many credits are required to get a master's degree?
W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed.
If you take five courses per term,
you'll have enough credits after just two semesters.
Usually each course is worth three credits.
To get the six remaining credits
you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses.
M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's?
W: You have to have an oral defense.
M: I see. I really appreciate your help, Professor.
W: Glad I can help. Good luck, Peter.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12. What is the woman's profession?
13. Why does the man resort to the woman?
14. Why does the man want to take up Teaching English
as a Foreign Language?

to get a master's degree?
Section B
Directions: In this section,
you will hear 3 short 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
MySpace, the social networking website,
is different from other websites
which only provide stories about other people.
MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories
and personal information to as many people as you like.
Started two years ago,
it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries.
For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends.
They will often list their surnames, birthdays,
school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
"MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone.
I don't have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances.
But if I want to get in touch with one of them,
I could just leave them a message on MySpace,"
said Abby Van Wassen, a 16-year-old student.
Since each user's personal home page
lists the number of their MySpace friends,
it has become yet another way of judging high school popularity.
MySpace has become something teenagers feel they must have.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned
about the security problems of MySpace.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
has received at least 288 MySpace-related complaints,
according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
"Your profile on MySpace
shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web.
And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age.
It's like a free checklist for trouble-makers
and it endangers children," Buchanan said.
Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is the difference between MySpace and other websites?
17. What do we learn from the passage about MySpace?
18. What is the security problem of MySpace according to Buchanan?
19. What does the passage mainly talk about?
Passage Two
For years scientists have been worried about
the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions.
Some believe the air inside many houses
may be more dangerous than the air outside.
It may be one hundred times worse.
Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired,
to suffer eye-pain, headache and other problems.
Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders,
diseases of blood and even cancer.
Most scientists agree
that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.
People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s.
When builders began making houses and offices, they did not waste energy.
To do this they built buildings
that limited the flow of air between inside and outside.
They also began using man-made building materials.
These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious,
scientists began searching for a way to deal with it.
They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildings-
green plants.
Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution.
They believe that a plant's leaves absorb or take in the pollutants.
In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves
and through its tiny organizations on its roots.
Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant
or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space.
Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals.
So the most effective way to clean the air
is to use different kinds of plants.
Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.
20. According to the speaker,
what problem may indoor air pollution bring to people?
21. What causes the indoor air pollution according to the speaker?
22. What is the most effective way to clean the air?
Passage Three
Before a new airliner goes into service,
every part of it is tested again and again.
But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.
In the first test, a modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes.
Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe.
The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason.
When the plane is filled with air,
the air presses against the skin of the plane inside.
The pressure on a small window, for example,
is like a huge foot that is trying to get out.
If a small part of the plane were to crack,
the plane would explode in the sky.
In order to test the structure of the plane,
it is lowered into a huge tank of water. Then it is filled with air.
The pressure inside the plane is greater
than it ever will be when it is in the air.
Finally, there is an explosion.
Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked.
In the second test, the test pilot must find out exactly
what happens when all the engines are shut off at once.
He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off.
The plane begins to fall like a stone.
It is the pilot's job to find out how he can get control of the plane again.
These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe
before they can ever carry passengers.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. Why must air be pumped into the plane?
24. What will possibly cause the plane to crash?
25. For what purpose does the pilot shut off all the engines?
Section C
Directions: In this section,
you will hear a passage three times.
When the passage is read for the first time,
you should listen carefully for its general idea.
When the passage is read for the second time,
you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard.
Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,
you should check what you have written.
Now listen to the passage.
All our dreams have something to do with our feelings,
fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories.
If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold,
his dreams may include a feeling of this kind.
If the covers on your body, such as a blanket, have slipped off your bed,
you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow.
The material for the dream you will have tonight
is likely to come from the experiences you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something
that has effect on you while you are sleeping
and it may also use your past experiences
and the wishes and the interests you have now.
This is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies,
older children of school examinations,
hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families.
To show you how that is happening while you are asleep
and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream,
here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep
and the back of his hand was rubbed with absorbent cotton.
He would dream that he was in a hospital
and his charming girlfriend was visiting him,
sitting on the bed and feeling his hand softly！
There are some scientists who have made a special study
of why we dream, what we dream, and what those dreams mean.
The explanation of dreams,
though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone,
but it offers an interesting way of dealing with the problem.
They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes
that did not come true.
Now the passage will be read again.
All our dreams have something to do with our feelings,
fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories.
If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold,
his dreams may include a feeling of this kind.
If the covers on your body, such as a blanket, have slipped off your bed,
