2011年12月英语六级冲刺预测试题及答案(1)

　　Conversation One

　　W: 【19】I'll go over to the recycling center this after noon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags along?

　　W: That's typical. A few years ago, people were really enthusiastic about reusing waste paper. Unfortunately, interests have been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use wastepaper for things like they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.

　　M: 【20】I suppose things like reading cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it?

　　W: Well, it wouldn't be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color 【21】if the waste paper can take the place of the virgin woods, pulp and so help to preserve forests.

　　M: You are right. 【22】I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.

　　M: In the beginning, we thought we'd never get all arranged but now we are very comfortable. Lucky for me, Ed keeps his things neat.

　　W: Do you like living in the dormitory?

　　M: It's not bad. 【24】Sometimes Ed turns his radio up too loud and makes too much noise. Then I get angry. Sometimes I leave my books lying around and he gets angry. But usually we get along. 【25】Here's a picture of him taken when we went to visit my family during vacation.

　　W: And this last one?

　　M: That's my dog Spot.

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the first conversation you've just heard.

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　【26】A credit card permits its holders to buy goods or obtain services without immediate payment. Possession of a card identifies the owner, who can obtain consumer credit. 【27】Each card has an account number which is recorded by the seller, who sends it to a central billing office. 【28】The office calculates the total price of purchases by the card holder during the month and sends him a bill. The buyer sends his check to the central office, which allocates the money to establishments extending credit.

　　Credit cards were used in some American stores during the 1920s, but they did not gain wide acceptance. In 1938 rival American oil companies issued them to consumers and established a national pool to honor each company's card. This was the start of the credit card's popularity.

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you've just heard.

　　26. What does a credit card permit its holders to do?

　　27. What does each credit card have?

　　28. What does a central billing office do?

　　26. 答案A

　　解析：听力段落一开始就讲到信用卡的用途，持卡人当时不用付账，就可以购买物品或享受服务。所以A为正确答案。

　　27. 答案C

　　解析：选项提到某个号，考生要注意听力中的细节。接下来，听力中讲，每张信用卡都有一个账号，而选项中A、B、D在听力中并没有提及。

　　28. 答案D

　　解析：选项是关于某种东西的功能。听力接下来提到billing office，随后讨论它的功能，计算持卡人每月的总花费，并寄给他一个账单。选项C是个干扰项，是购买者把支票寄给billing office。
