People can fall. They may also become ill. One of the most common dangers to climbers is altitude sickness, which c
12、an affect even very experienced climbers. Altitude sickness usually begins when a climber goes above 8,000 to 9,000 feet. The higher one climbs, the less oxygen there is in the air. When people dont get enough oxygen, they often begin to gasp for air. They may also feel dizzy and light-headed. Besid
13、es these symptoms of altitude sickness, others such as headache and fatigue may also occur. At heights of over 18,000 feet, people may be climbing in a constant daze. Their state of mind can have adverse affect on their judgment. A few precautions can help most climbers avoid altitude sickness. The
14、first is not to go too high, too fast. If you climb to 10,000 feet, stay at that height for a day or two. Your body needs to get used to a high altitude before you climb to a even higher one. Or if you do climb higher sooner, come back down to a lower height when you sleep. Also, drink plenty of liq

17、推理题，前提是考生需知道 camping gear 表示“野餐用具，露营装备”，由此可知，camping gear 包括 sleeping bag，即女士能借给男士一个睡袋，此题的设置稍微绕了个小弯，为考生解题设置了一定难度。go camping：去野餐，去露营；sleeping bag：睡袋。12.M: I know I promise to drive you to the airport next Thursday, but Im afraid something has come up.

23、 Id rather not make it something formal and structured.Q: What can we infer about the man?答案：He declines to join the gardening club.【解析】此题为暗示推理题，有一定难度。抓住问题中的关键词“infer”，这位男士暗示了什么？从男士的回答“谢谢邀请，但这是我放松的方式，我宁愿我的花园不那么条条框框”中可推断出，这位男士间接拒绝了参加园艺俱乐部的邀请。17.M: I heard the recent sculpture exhibit was kind of disa

32、to get it back.点评：本篇长对话是关于一名怀孕的员工就工作中的辐射伤害向工会投诉。对话一开篇女士先抱怨自己工作的医院无人听她申诉有关机器已过时，会造成身体伤害的问题，因为医院想要降低成本。然后她提到自己有向主管提出转调部门的要求，然而遭到拒绝。主管还告诫她，医院宁愿换掉她，让他人工作，也不会更换机器。于是工会代表告诉她转调部门确实可能不会成功。同时要想利用目前的法案来解决这一问题，也会很难实现。最后指出，除非她真正丢失工作，工会才能拿起法律武器帮她讨薪。本对话考生虽然对辐射造成身体伤害的话题并不陌生，但整个对话中部分单词可能还是会造成不少听力困扰。比如：health hazard
33、（健康伤害）中的 hazard；X-ray equipment（X 光仪器）中的 X-ray 和两大法案的名称虽不难，但也容易混淆大家的视听，而误抓重点。Conversation TwoW: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?M: Well, I think its both an art and science.

In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can pretend that you dont like things which you are actually quite pleased about.
36、Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest type negotiator whos known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediately to cues one gets in t
37、he process of negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the artistic quality comes in.W: So really, you see two types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one.M: That right. And both can work.

38、rcumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor.Q23. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?Q24.

Both can succeed depending on the specific situation.【点评】本长对话主要是关于谈判的艺术性和科学性。谈判的科学性部分主要体现在谈判策略，而谈判的艺术性则体现在表现上。这里可以归为两类，一是“演技派”，二是“ 诚实派”。另外，谈判的艺术性还与对谈判过程中获得的口头暗示、肢体语言进行及时反应有关。最后男士指出根据不同场合，无论是“诚实派”，或是“演技派”谈判者都能起到各自的效果。本对话中的关键词有：negotiation
40、：谈判；strategy：策略； behavioral：行为的。22012 年 6 月六级听力原文及答案解析Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
