【点评】
本次六级考试的难度与往年持平，继续延续在六级考试中，出现大量推理判断题，即提问方式为：What doesthe man / woman mean? 这样的题目。所以这一常考题型，相信平时也已练习不少。其中，可能稍微有点难度的是几个单词，例如：protest(抗议);rerun(重新出演)，entertaining(有趣的，有娱乐性的)，但其实这几个词并不影响做题。最难的也就最后一题：既有developmental psychology(发展心理学)这样的专业学科名称，又有registration这样部分考生不太熟悉的词，从而影响整个对话的理解。
M: It's really amazing how many colors there are in these Thai silks?
W: These are our new designs.
M: Oh, I don't think I've seen this combination of colors before.
W: They're really brilliant, aren't they?
M: Quite dazzling! May I have samples of the new cet6w.com?
W: Yes, of course. But aren't you going to place an order?
M: We order them regularly, you know, but I do want our buyer who handles fabrics to seethem.
W: Have you looked at the wood and stone coverings? Did you like them?
M: Oh, they aren't really what I'm looking for.
W: What do you have in mind?
M: That's the trouble. I never know exactly until I see it. I usually have more luck when I getaway from the tourist places.
W: Out in the countryside you mean.
M: Yeah, exactly. Markets seem small towns have turned out best for me.
W: You're more interested than in handcrafts that haven't been commercialized.
M: Yes, real folk arts, pots, dishes, basket ware — the kinds of things that people themselvesuse.
W: I'm sure we can arrange a trip out into the country for you.
M: I was hoping you'd say that.
W: We can drive out of Bangkok and stop whenever you see something that interests you.
M: That would be wonderful! How soon could we leave?
W: I can't get away tomorrow. But I think I can get a car for the day after.
M: And would we have to come back the same day?
W: No, I think I'll be able to keep the car for three or four days.

W: Well, before we decide we're going to live in Enterby, we really ought to have a look at theschools. We want the children to have a good secondary education, so we'd better see what’savailable.
M: They gave me some information at the district office and I took notes. It appears there arefive secondary schools in Enterby, three state schools and two private.
W: I don’t know if we want private schools, do we?
M: I don't think so, but we'll look at them anyway. The Saint Mary's, that's a catholic school forgirls and Carton Ibi, that's a very old boys' boarding school, founded in 1672.
W: Are all the state schools co-educational?
M: Yes, it seems so.
W: I think little kid is very good with his hands. We're to send him to a school with goodvocational training — carpentry, electronics, that's sort of thing.
M: In that case, we are best off at Enterby Comprehensive. I gather they have excellentworkshops and instructors. But it says here the Dawn Wall also has good facilities. Enterby Highhas a little, but they are mostly academic. No vocational training at all at Carton Ibi, SaintMary’s.
W: What are the schools like academically? How many children go on to university every year?
M: Well, Enterby High is very good. And Carton Ibi even better, 70% percent of their pupils goon to university. Dawn Wall isn’t so good. Only 8%. And Enterby Comprehensive in Saint Mary’snot much more, about 10%.
W: Well, it seems like there is a broad selection of schools. But we have to find out more thanstatistics before we can decide.
