答案：CBDC

原文：

There are some serious problems in the Biramichi River. The local chamber of commerce, which represents the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year study on fishing in the Biramichi River（第11题答案，视听基本一致原则） and write a report for them. This is my report:

One of the major problems in the Biramichi River is that the level of oxygen in the water is too low.（第12题答案，视听基本一致原则，注意major的定位作用） Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources: the factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves.（第13题答案，视听基本一致原则）

Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large number. The members of cooperative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch（第14题答案，视听基本一致原则，注意because的定位作用）, not because they were trying to preserve fishes.
11. What was the speaker assigned to do in the past year?
12. What is one of the problems in the Biramichi River?
13. What does the passage tell us about the factories along the river?
14. Why was the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River reduced according to the speaker?

二、审题及利用选项推知答案

1. 审题的作用：

小对话——看选项，判断题目类型，推知解题方法。

长对话及短文——看选项，推断问题，方便运用视听基本一致原则且帮助定位。预测长对话或短文的主题。

2． 如何在完全听不懂的情况下通过选项推知答案：

一般的，当两个选项意思相近或谈论的话题相同时，其中一个可能是正确答案；当两个选项通过同义转换使得实际观点相同时，两个选项均不是答案；当两个选项话题相同且意思相反时，其中一个可能是正确答案。

2009年6月六级考试第14题

14. A. She can help the man take care of the plants.

B. Most plants grow better in direct sunlight.

C. The plants need to be watered frequently.

D. The plants should be placed in a shady spot.

答案：D

原文：

14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldn’t know by looking at them that I water them every week.

W: Maybe they don’t like direct sunlight. I had the same problem with some of my plants. And a little shade helps them immensely.

Q: What does the woman imply?

解析：只看选项，CD选项相近且主语都是The plants，话题相同；BD选项话题相同且意思相反，所以选D 。
