Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports.It still only allows potatoes from selected US states. This is only at

certaintimes and on condition that they are processed at factories based near Japaneseports.

　　答案：

5. D) Insufficient potato supply.

对于考生而言，长对话一向是听懂难度较低的文本。此次两篇长对话，就文本和听力音频难度来看，难度适中。如果大家有好好掌握课上所说的长对话出题原则，找到答案的可能性还是非常大的，关注开头结尾处，以及中间负责答者的回答。长对话第一篇讨论的话题是近年来高频话题，学习，说话人讲解了学习保持专注度的一些方法和技巧。第8/9题选项和原文存在同义词替换(boring-dull)，近义表达替换(writing=takenotes)的情况，但第10-11题选项均为原文原词。

Conversation 1

M：Mr.Brown‘s lectures are so boring.

W： Yes， he is not a very exciting speaker. But the subject isinteresting.

M： During every

one of his lectures， I try to listen I really try. Butafter about 10 minutes my mind begins to wander and I lose concentration. But Isee that you seem to be OK. How do you stay focused through the entire hour?

W： Well，what I do is keep my pen moving.

M： What do you mean?

W： It‘s a method of active concentration I read about. One of the mosteffective ways to concentrate is to write things down. But it has to be done byhand， not typing on a keyboard. You see writing by hand forces you to actuallyengage with what you’re learning in a more physical way.

M： Do you review your notes afterwards then?

W： Sometimes but that‘s not important. My notes may or may not be usefulbut the point is that by writing down what Mr. Brand says I can follow his lineof thinking more easily. In fact， sometimes I draw a little too.

M：You draw in

class and that helps me pay attention?

W： Yes， honestly it works for me. I just draw little lines and nonsensereally. It was also in that article I read.It can keep the mind active， preventgetting bored and help to concentrate.Again the point is to listen hard whilekeeping the pen moving. If I‘m at home and I need to study what I do is read outloud.It has a similar effect to writing by hand.It helps memorize information ina physical way.

Question 8. What does the man think of Mr.Brown‘s lectures?

Question 9. What does the woman do during Mr.Brown‘s lectures?

Question 10. Why does the woman draw in class?

Question 11. What does the woman say about reading out loud?

　　答案：

8. C) Dull.

9. D) She takes notes.

10. A) It keeps her mind active.

11. B) It helps her better remember what she learns.

第二篇长对话则为讨论泰姬陵，难度较上一篇而言较低，应是考生在长对话部分的主要得分点。听题时注意重复出现的信息(princess/crowded)

Conversation 2

F ：These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. We went there about tenyears ago for our honeymoon.

Ithink it was during the 1600 and the princess at that time died while givingbirth to her 14th child. The Emperor loved the princess so much and was so sadwhen she died that he ordered the palace to be built in her honor.

M：Wow ! That sounds very romantic. It looks amazing.

F： Yes it‘s a very famous tourist destination. So there are thousands ofvisitors every day.

14. D) It has walls decorated with jewels.

15. B) They are mostly crowded.

　　短文：

听力考试中难度较大的题型，短文。第一篇是一篇报告，关于美国人对于公共图书馆的观点和使用情况。文章出自PEW研究中心。话题相对比较严肃，部分考生可能存在听懂的困难，但答案给出方式较为直接，基本为原文原词直接对应。

题源文章链接：http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/09/09/libraries-2016/

　　答案：

16. C) They provide residents with the resources needed.

第二篇为说明文，介绍了热带草原猫，出题点遵照了说明文的出题套路：说明对象介绍，特点，人们对于说明对象的观点或发现。文本难度是三篇中较为简单的一篇，文本改编自维基百科，这并不是维基百科的文章第一次出现在四六级考试中。2017年6月六级听力中说明文也来自维基百科。

Passage Two

19. C) It is an unusual cross breed.

20. A) They are as loyal as dogs.

出题方式也遵循了我们听力课堂上总结的规律，大家做题时应关注开头结尾处，转折(although,but,however等)，因果(because,so,等)，强调(especially等)。答案和选项多为同根词的对应方式，这也是我们上课讲过的特征，熟练掌握做题技巧的同学应该会得心应手。24题难度较大，需要考生大意概括理解

22. D) Excited but somewhat sad.

23. A) It starts the moment they are born.

24. D) Set a good example for them to follow.

Although notably just 33 percent say this would have a majorimpact on them personally or on their family. A majority of Americans feellibraries are doing a good job of providing a safe place for people to hang outor spend time as well as opening up educational opportunities for people of allages and roughly half think their libraries contribute a lot to theircommunities in terms of helping spark creativity among young people andproviding a trusted place for people to learn about new technologies. As in pastPew Research Center surveys of library use the April 2016 survey also measuredAmericans usage of and engagement with libraries. Overall, 53 percent ofAmericans ages 16 and older have had some interaction with the puppet library inthe past year either through an in person visit or using a library Web site.some 48 percent of adults specifically visited a library in the past 12 months.Amodest increase from the 44 percent who said that in late 2015.

Passage 2

A Savannah cat is a crossbreed between a domestic cat and a medium-sizedwild African cat called the Serval. The unusual cross became popular amongbreeders at the end of the 1990s. And in 2001， the International Cat Associationaccepted it as a new registered breed. The savannahs are tall and slim and canweigh up to nine point one kilograms， making them one of the largest breeds ofcats that people can own. They have a spotted code similar to that of many typesof wild cats and their ears are very large. They are also commonly compared todogs in their loyalty and can be trained to walk on a lead and to fetch， andoften noted characteristic of the Savannah is its jumping ability. They areknown to jump on top of doors and high cabinets. Some can leap about2.5 metreshigh from a standing position. Cats are typically known for being veryinquisitive and so are the Savannahs. They often learn how to open doors andcupboards. Many Savannah cats do not fear water and will play with or even diveinto water. Some owners even shower with their Savannah Cats，presenting a waterbowl to Savannah may also prove a challenge，as some will promptly begin to batall the water out of the bowl until it is empty using their front paws.

Question 19. What do we learn about the savannah cat?

Question 20. What is characteristic of Savannah cats?

Question 21 What do some people do with their Savannah cats?

Passage 3

When children start school for the very 1st time parents often feel a senseof excitement coupled with a touch of sadness at the end of an era.This is thestart of a new adventure for children playing and interacting with new friendssharing， taking turns and settling into a new routine.

But of course，this is not the start of your child‘s education which in factbegan at birth. Back then，you would have been your child’s most influentialteachers. During this time at home，your child would have learnt more than at anyother period in their life. During your child‘s first year in school much timewill be spent in learning to read and they need to know that this is fun andworthwhile. your child will naturally copy youso it is important that u are seenreading and enjoying books newspapers and magazines rather than just absorbed inscreens. Ultimately an excellent education should be a close partnership betweenparents and teachers. A child’s year splits fairly neatly into thirds： a 3rd atschool， a 3rd asleep and a third awake at home or on holiday.

Irrespective of the quality of a school a child‘s home life is of keyimportance. It is the determining factor of their academic success. Ur child mayhave started on a new journey but ur work is far from finished.

Question 22 How do parents feel when their children start going toschool?

Question 23 What does the passage say about children‘s education?

Question 24 What should parents do for the success of their children‘seducation?

Question 25. What does the passage say is the key factor of loinbo’sacademic success?
