第一节概述
自2016年6月份开始，大学英语六级听力考试进行了改革，题型也发生较大的变动，听力讲座闪亮登场。该题型曾是雅思托福听力考试中的一种题型，如今出现在大学英语六级的考试中，导致大学英语六级的听力难度有所上升。
新六级的听力讲座属于一种新题型，该题型选取讲座或演讲的录音作为听力素材，基于内容设置单选题，一共三篇讲座或演讲，共10道小题，每道小题2分，所占分值为六级总分值的20%，比重非常大，所以需要广大考生予以足够的重视。
第二节命题特点与难点
从四六级考试组委会提供的样题中可见其特点，即来源广，生词多，篇幅长。新六级样题中讲座/演讲听力共有三篇，素材来源比较复杂，样题中第一篇来自BBC，第二篇来自VOA，第三篇不可考。六级听力讲座生词较多，往往会涉及大量的术语，而且篇幅较长，其中最长的一篇原文单词数达到了450词。
在难度上，讲座的难度和六级听力的一贯难度保持一致，结合样题中的三篇演讲题的选项，由长句子构成的选项明显变得更多，对考生预习选项的能力有了更高的要求，此为难点一；由于讲座、演讲的内容
总是和某一专业性主题相关，所以在内容上容易出现专业性较强的表述，如样题中23题的D选项“The high value-to-weight ratio of its goods.”，在阅读选项的时候，这些选项会造成不小障碍，此为难点二。
第三节考点分析
演员石兆琪新六级的听力部分，除了取消掉原来的短对话和复合式听写以外，最大的变化就是增加了讲座和演讲，意味着要加强大学生利用英语的新知识学习能力，增加讲座测试的意义在于，假设学生走进英语国家的大学课堂，能否听懂真正的外国教授的英文授课，这种题型的设计更加接近于托福考试中的lecture，命题设计也和托福考试十分相似，其出题点在于：
1.段首段尾句：任何一个篇章第一句话往往是重点。
2.设问句：一般疑问听升调，特殊疑问听特殊疑问词（5w+1h)。
3.总结性质的词汇：in brief, in particular, in short, all in all, generally speaking, conclude, conclusion, in a word, so , you see, in fact, we can say, ok, anyway。
4.重复性质的信息：指实词重复。机械迷城中文版 攻略
5.首段转折：在第一段中出现but，however, yet, instead, today 后往往是正确答案。
6.转折对比处：passage中出现转折对比的词汇，往往被转折对比的后面为正确答案。表示转折的词汇主要有：Although, though, even though, despite, in spite of, however, but, yet, well, not…but…, instead, on the other hand, unexpected, unexpectedly, unfortunately, fortunately
7.因果关系：重因轻果。表示因果的词汇主要有：because, cause, for, as, since, be due to, lead to, result from, result in, as a result。
8.定义处：something can be defined as something, that is so called, we the definition of ... is...

Passage 1
Moderator:
Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years.
Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reali
ty of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, in my grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t important anymore.
For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older
Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.
Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.

Passage 2
The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s
second birthday can have serious and long-lasting impacts.
Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and
development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.
剑网3 任务Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”
Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.
“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”
Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.
Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.
“They really did very active promotion of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”
Now listen and answer questions 23 to 25.
23. A) The guaranteed quality of its goods.
B) The huge volume of its annual sales.
C) The service it provides to its customers.
