　　Q:

Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

　　【点评】

　　短对话

　　今年的六级听力短对话从提问方式来看，还是以推理题居多，如第12、13、15题都需要考生们从对话后中推理出“言下之意”。

14、17题考查学生在听完对话后是否能够把握准确，推理出暗示内容。

　　六级考试的短对话内容还是主要以日常生活为大背景，穿插了新闻、住房等话题，考生们应该比较熟悉。

短对话中没有太多的生词和难词，第11题的spine（脊椎）其实也并不影响考生答题，因其实际上并不是考查点。

　　总而言之，今年的短对话难度适中，考生如能准确把握对话的中心内容，在听力上得分并不是件难事。

　　【点评】：

本文节选自2009年7月的《纽约时报》，原文标题为InterracialRoommatesCanReducePrejudice。

文章属于社会类话题，大意为俄亥俄州立大学的一位名为RussellFazio的心理学教授研究不同人种混居的有趣现象以及结论。

无独有偶，2011年6月四级真题阅读理解SectionB的Passage1也选用了相同的话题，大家平时在备考中要对真题重视起来哦!

　　这是路透社2011年初的一篇报道，题目为“SouthCarolinascientistworkstogrowmeatinlab”。
