2016年12月英语六级考试听力真题评析

　　本次考试是自四六级考试委员会发布听力改革以来的第二次考试，六级听力部分已经从原有的小对话、长对话、篇章及复合式听写题型变成了长对话，篇章及讲座/讲话。在不断的调整过程中，今早四级考试难度略有下降。而刚刚结束的六级考试听力部分语速非常适中，且用词难度不大，总体来看，本次六级听力部分的难度持平于2016年6月的六级听力部分难度。而相对于四级听力，六级听力篇章与讲座部分一个非常明显的特征是词汇使用变得精准且多样，也就是我在课上一直强调的六级喜欢“替换”。这就要求以后的考生在准备考试的过程中，扎实做好词汇积累补充，而不能满足于某一个词义只了解一个单词。下面就各个部分进行详细解析。(因暂未拿到真题，所以所有参考答案部分为原文截取，各位可以酌情参考，能力有限，若有遗漏处，敬请谅解。)
