Conversation Two
听力原文
W: Your name Sanjay Kumar is that correct?
M: Yes, madam。
W: You claim you are traveling on a scholarship from Delhi University。
M: That’s right。
W: Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage. Do you admit that?
M: Yes, but…
W:According to the statement you made, you had never seen the hand gun before it was found in your bag. Do you still maintain that?
M: But it’s true. I swear it。
W: Mmm, you do realize Mr. Kumar that to bring a hand gun into Hong Kong without proper authorization is a serious offense。
M: But I didn’t bring it. I … I mean I didn’t know anything about it. It wasn’t there when I left Delhi. My bags were searched. It was part of the airport security check。
W: Maybe so, but someone managed to get that hand gun onto the aircraft or it couldn’t have been there。
M: Someone but not me。
W: Tell me , where was your personal bag during the flight?
M: I had it down by my feet between me and the man in the next seat。
M: He was the only person who could have opened my bag while I was asleep. It must have been him。
W: I see. Have you any idea who this man was?
M: He told me his name, Alfred Foster. He was very friendly, after I woke up that is. He hadn’t spoken before。
W: Alfred Foster, we can check that on the passenger list。
M: He said he had a car coming to meet him. He offered me a lift。
W: Oh, Why should he do that?
M: So he can get his handgun back, that’s why. Please find him, Madam。
Questions 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard
23. D) Bringing a handgun into Hong Kong
解析:suspect 的意思是怀疑,题目问, Sanjay Kumar 被怀疑什么?对话的开头,女警察便说到,“Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage”,也就是说在Sanjay Kumar 的包里发现了一把手枪,由此可得出选项D
24. D) He is suspected of having slipped something into Kumar's bag
解析:从对话中,我们了解到,Sanjay Kumar 并没有携带枪支,而是坐在他身边的Alfred Foster 栽赃嫁祸,趁Sanjay Kumar 睡着时,将手枪放进他的包里,slip 有暗中塞入的意思,对应选项D
25. B) Find Alfred Foster。
解析:对话的最后一句已给出了答案,"Please find him, Madam."Sanjay Kumar 请求警察能够找到Alfred Foster
这是一篇审讯对话,在最近三年的六级长对话听力中,还没有涉及,但是审讯对话并不难,我们可以从两人的语气,称呼中得出,如Sanjay Kumar 称那位女士为madam,女士的口气也比较硬,如用了“Do you admit that,tell me"等语句。这篇长对话既考察了对大意的理解,也考察了对细节的把握,其中24题,更像是一道推理题,对话中并没有明确指出Alfred Foster 把手枪塞入了Sanjay Kumar 的包内,但我们可以从Sanjay Kumar 的回答中推理出相应的结论,23、25题对细节的考察在对话中可以直接找到出处,总的来说,第二篇长对话还是比较简单的。
Section B
Passage One
听力原文
Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia, "And why not? We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go. We may as well travel while we're fit and healthy. "
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moineau, founder of Tselana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Galápagos. "We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ", Ashley Toft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing。

K. tour operator Explore等。一定程度上会让考生觉得头疼,且分散注意力。这就需要考生有一定对重要信息的提取能力。人名、地名及职务名称等听过有个印象就好,不必过于纠结。
