六级标准听力测试模拟二Section A答案解析(2)

　　17. W: I don’t know why, but since I saw Williams on TV, I don’t feel so bad about myself now.

　　M: Well, they say laughter is the best medicine.

　　Q: What can be inferred about the show the woman just watched?

　　【解析】选[B]。男士话中的they指Williams一家人，即电视节目中的人物。they say laughter is the best medicine表明这档节目很滑稽(funny)；since I saw Williams on TV, I don’t feel so bad about myself now说明这档节目很令人鼓舞(inspiring)。

　　18. M: Did you see that new art work? You know that poster they just put up in the cafeteria; I wonder whose bright idea that was.

　　W: You know there’s nothing wrong with the poster itself, it just doesn’t go with the colors in the cafeteria.

　　Q: What do we learn about the poster from the conversation?

　　【解析】选[C]。女士所说的there’s nothing wrong with the poster itself表明她和男士都认为自助餐厅里贴的海报不好看。另外，理解男士话中的讽刺语气(“art work”和“bright idea”)对解答该题也有很大帮助。go with the colors意为“颜色搭配协调”。

　　Conversation One

　　M: Doctor Thomas? This is Keith Bradley from The Daily News. I’d like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.

　　W: I’d be happy to help you. What would you like to know?

　　M: First of all, how is the standard weight used?

　　W: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The Department of Weights and Measures — we’re a government agency — it’s our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately. So this is the weight we use to adjust the scales.

　　M: How did you check the scales before?

　　W: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see, it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous — it absorbed too much moisture.
