　　综述：2019年6月听力整体难度与2018年12月的听力相比，难度稍有提高。在出题点的位置上难度有升高，很容易使考生混乱。可以明显看出听力出题“反套路”的趋势越来越明显，所以考生对听力材料的理解能力就显得更为重要。这说明在平时的教学中更要注重听力能力的培养，而不再是一味的追求技巧。

　　France is facing potentially more than one billion dollars and lost revenue this year, due to huge declines in tourism.

　　News Report 2

　　A small plane with two sick U.S. workers arrived safely in Chile late Wednesday after leaving Antarctica in a daring rescue mission from a remote South Pole research station.

　　After making a stop for a few hours at a British station on the edge of Antarctica, the two workers were flown to the southernmost Chilean city of Punta Arenas. In a chaotic two days of flying, the rescue team flew 3,000 miles round-trip from the British station Rothera to pick up the workers at the U.S Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole.

　　The two patients aboard will be transported to a medical facility that can provide a level of care that is not available at Amundsen-Scott, says a spokesperson. Normally planes don't go to the polar post from February to October because of the dangers of flying in the pitch-dark and cold.

　　“Antarctica creates a hostile environment,” says the operations director for the British Antarctic Survey, “if you are not careful, it’ll come around and bite you.”

　　News Report 3

　　A pilot from Virginia removed his son's loose tooth using a helicopter. Rick Rahim from Virginia flies helicopters for a living, and when his seven year old son’s tooth became loose he did not waste time by tying it to a door handle.

　　Instead, Mr. Rahim tied one end of a string around his son’s tooth, and the other end to his full-sized commercial helicopter. The father of four posted video clip of his playful venture on Facebook, advising parents to do fun and creative stuff with their kids.

　　The video shows him launching the helicopter into the air and flying just far enough to successfully remove the loose tooth. At the end of the video, Mr. Regime assures watches that the circumstances were safe, and that he has 13 years of helicopter flying experience behind him.

　　“You've got to do everything safe in life, and that's what I did today,” he said. Mr. Rahim later said that although some parents have used remote control helicopters to pull teeth before, he might be the first to use a full-sized aircraft, as he can't find evidence that it has been done before.

　　Question 5:How did Rick Rahim remove his son's loose tooth?

　　5.A)By tying it to a door handle.

　　B)By shaking it back and forth.

　　C)With a remote control craft.

　　6. A)He has lots of fans on Facebook.

　　B)He has rich experience in flying.

　　C)He often suffers from toothaches.

　　D)He has learned to pull teeth from a video.

　　解析：

　　音频第二句Rick Rahim from Virginia flies helicopters for a living,…. 以及开头第一句中的pilot，都可以判断出答案是B)He has rich experience in flying. 但是这道题对于平时习惯在选项中找相同信息的考生来说略有难度，因为需要从音频中推断出信息，也属于同义转换。

　　Question 7:What did Rick Rahim advise parents to do with their kids?

　　7.A)Spend more time together.

　　B)Tell them adventure stories.

　　C)Do something fun and creative.

　　D)Play with them in a safe place.

　　解析：

　　Passage One

　　Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. The mountain has been in a state of near continuous eruption for half of a million years. Exploring the Etna geographical area reveals a history written in fire. Before the eruptions, it was covered by forests of pine trees.

　　Located in southern Italy, Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe. However, its height often changes when volcanic material accumulates during eruptions and subsequently collapses. Few volcanoes in the world have an eruption history so thoroughly documented by historical records. Etna’s eruption history dates back as far as 1500 BC. Some two hundred eruptions have been recorded down through the centuries, but compared with other volcanoes, most of its eruptions have so far been fairly light in terms of death and destruction. Only about one hundred deaths have been attributed to the volcano. The mountain hasn't been entirely harmless, however. In 1928, it destroyed the town of Mascali.

　　Over the centuries, Etna’s lowest slopes have been shaped by human hands to take advantage of rich soils for growing grapes, apples and nuts. Local people have also carved out over two hundred caves in the soft rock, and use them for everything from sacred burial places to food storage. Large mammals once wandered the volcano slopes, but today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. Some of those small mammals help to sustain such big birds as golden eagles.

　　Question 16: What does the speaker say about Mount Etna?

　　16.A) It has kept growing over the centuries.

　　B) Its top is hidden in clouds of volcanic smoke.

　　C) Its height changes with each volcanic eruption.

　　D) It has a recorded history of 1500 years.

　　Question 17: What do we learn about the lower slopes of Mount Etna?

　　17.A) They are now a tourist destination.

　　B) They attract a lot of migrating birds.

　　C) They provide shelter for the farmers.

　　D) They make good fields for farming.

　　解析：

　　由Over the centuries, Etna’s lowest slopes have been shaped by human hands to take advantage of rich soils for growing grapes, apples and nuts.中同义替换可知答案为D) They make good fields for farming.而不是保护农民。

　　Question 18: What does the speaker say about big birds like golden eagles at Mount Etna?

　　18.A) They nest on the volcano’s slopes.

　　B) They feed on certain small mammals.

　　C) They compete with each other for food.

　　D) They match large mammals in strength.

　　解析：

　　文章最后 Large mammals once wandered the volcano slopes, but today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. Some of those small mammals help to sustain such big birds as golden eagles.中help to sustain 对应答案 B) They feed on certain small mammals. 中的feed on

　　Passage Two

　　My name is Brandon Leonard, and I'm an author, magazine writer, filmmaker and public speaker. I'm self-employed, which means I work for myself and I do what I love. We have a popular scene in America which goes, “Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.” But I'm here to tell you that instead of focusing on doing what we love, I think we should focus on loving what we do.

　　In my line of work, you’ll hear a lot about talent, which is an idea we mostly invented to give ourselves an excuse to be lazy. Here's why: if you see someone doing something really well, you would say it's because they are talented. You think they are somehow special. You discount the tremendous amount of work they've done to get to where they are.

　　Research has shown that talent is nothing without hard work. I choose to believe in hard work, but not so much in talent. There are no special people, just people who put in enough hard work until something special happens. I can promise you one thing: whatever you choose to do for a career, if you work hard at it, eventually special things will happen. They may not happen as quickly as you'd like them too, and they may turn out to be completely different from the special things you imagined at the beginning, but they will happen.

　　Question 19: What do we learn about the speaker?

　　19.A) He is self-employed.

　　B) He is a career advisor.

　　C) He studies talent.

　　D) He owns a magazine.

　　解析：

　　开头I'm self-employed, which means I work for myself and I do what I love.直接说明了，答案是同义转换A) He is self-employed.

　　Question 20: What is the speaker’s advice to his audience?

　　20.A) Doing what they like best.

　　B) Loving the work they do.

　　C) Making no excuses for failures.

　　D) Following their natural instinct.

　　解析：

　　材料中原句But I'm here to tell you that instead of focusing on doing what we love, I think we should focus on loving what we do.但是容易与前面speaker说的 I do what I love.混淆，考察考生的理解能力和反应能力。答案为B) Loving the work they do.

　　Question 21: What does the speaker say about talent?

　　21.A) It does not come to anything without hard work.

　　B) It may prove to be quite different from hard work.

　　C) It is a natural gift only some special people can possess.

　　D) It does not come to you until something special happens.

　　解析：

　　从Research has shown that talent is nothing without hard work. 和I can promise you one thing: whatever you choose to do for a career, if you work hard at it, eventually special things will happen.可知答案为A) It does not come to anything without hard work.

　　Passage Three

　　A question we often ask others and are also frequently asked by others is “What do you normally do after school or work?” Some commonplace answers are, “Well, I go to the gym.” “Um, I just go home and watch TV.” “I meet my friends for dinner.” or “I just go to bed because it's so late and I’m tired.” Unlike any of these typical responses, I’m proud to say that I love to dance salsa after a long and tiring day of work.

　　Salsa is a kind of dancing that evolved in the mid 1970s in New York. My dancing life began not because I wanted to do it, but because my mother was sick and tired of seeing me running around after school doing nothing. So she enrolled me into a ballet course when I was six. I fell in love with it instantly and continued with ballet dancing for about ten years.

　　Then, I left my native country of New Zealand to start my career as an English teacher, which eventually brought my dancing life to a halt. It wasn't until I rediscovered salsa in a lovely studio while working in Asia that I renewed my passion for dancing. Since then, I have been trying to attend dancing classes twice a week after work. It's a great way for me to relieve stress and pressure and dance my way towards feeling energetic and happy again.

　　Question 22: What does the speaker say about the dance, salsa?

　　22.A) It is a bit difficult to learn.

　　B) It was popular in New Zealand.

　　C) It is a traditional type of ballet.

　　D) It evolved in the mid-1970s.

　　解析：

　　Salsa is a kind of dancing that evolved in the mid 1970s in New York.材料中原句，可知答案为D) It evolved in the mid-1970s.

　　Question 23: Why did the speakers’ mother enroll her in a ballet course?

　　23.A) She wanted her to be a ballet dancer.

　　B) She used to be a ballet dancer herself.

　　C) She hated to see her idling about.

　　D) She was too busy to look after her.

　　解析：

　　由My dancing life began not because I wanted to do it, but because my mother was sick and tired of seeing me running around after school doing nothing. So she enrolled me into a ballet course when I was six.可知speaker的母亲生病并且不愿意看到她放了学之后到处闲逛所以把她送去学芭蕾舞。答案为C) She hated to see her idling about. idle游手好闲

　　Question 24: When did the speaker’s dancing life come to a halt?

　　24.A) After she started teaching English.

　　B) Before she left for New Zealand.

　　C) When she moved to New York city.

　　D) Once she began to live on her own.

　　解析：

　　Then, I left my native country of New Zealand to start my career as an English teacher, which eventually brought my dancing life to a halt.原句，可知答案为A) After she started teaching English.

　　Question 25: In what way has salsa dancing benefited the speaker?

　　25.A) It has renewed her passion for life.

　　B) It has made her happy and energetic.

　　C) It has helped her make new friends.

　　D) It has enabled her to start a new career

　　解析;

　　材料组后原句 It's a great way for me to relieve stress and pressure and dance my way towards feeling energetic and happy again.可知答案为B) It has made her happy and energetic.
