11.W: Did you hear that Anna needs to stay in bed for 4 weeks?

M: Yeah. She injured her spine in a fall and a doctor told her to lie flat on her back for a month so it can mend.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

12.M: A famous Russian ballet is coming to town next weekend. But I can’t find a ticket anywhere.

W: Don’t be upset. My sister just happened to have one and she can’t go since she has got some sort of conflict in her schedule.

Q: What does the woman mean?

13.W: Hello, my bathroom drain is blocked and I’m giving a party tonight. Do you think you could come and fix it for me?

M: Sorry, ma’am. I’m pretty busy right now. But I can put you on my list.

Q: What does the man mean?

14.W: We’re taking up a collection to buy a gift for Jemma. She’ll have been with the company 25 years next week.

M: Well, count me in. But I’m a bit short on cash now. When do you need it?

Q: What is the man going to do?

15.W: Tony’s mother has invited me to dinner. Do you think I should tell her in advance that I’m a vegetarian?

M: Of course. I think she’d appreciate it. Imaging how you both feel if she fixed the turkey dinner or something.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

16.M: Just look at this newspaper, nothing but robbery, suicide and murder. Do you still believe people are basically good?

W: Of course. But many papers lack interest in reporting something positive like peace, love and generosity.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

17.M: I can’t believe so many people want to sign up for the Korea Development Conference.We will have to limit the registration.

W: Yeah, otherwise we won’t have room for the more.

Q: What are the speakers going to do?

18.W: Hi, I’m calling about the ad for the one bedroom apartment.

M: Perfect timing! The person who was supposed to rent it just backed town to take a room on campus.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】

短對(duì)話

今年的六級(jí)聽(tīng)力短對(duì)話從提問(wèn)方式來(lái)看， 還是以推理題居多，如第12、13、15題都需要考生們從對(duì)話后中推理出“言下之意”。14、17題考查學(xué)生在聽(tīng)完對(duì)話后是否能夠把握準(zhǔn)確，推理出暗示內(nèi)容。

六級(jí)考試的短對(duì)話內(nèi)容還是主要以日常生活為大背景，穿插了新聞、住房等話題，考生們應(yīng)該比較熟悉。短對(duì)話中沒(méi)有太多的生詞和難詞，第11題的spine（脊椎）其實(shí)也并不影響考生答題，因其實(shí)際上并不是考查點(diǎn)。

總而言之，今年的短對(duì)話難度適中，考生如能準(zhǔn)確把握對(duì)話的中心內(nèi)容，在聽(tīng)力上得分并不是件難事。
