　　【點評】

　　本次六級考試的難度與往年持平，繼續(xù)延續(xù)在六級考試中，出現(xiàn)大量推理判斷題，即提問方式為：What does the man / woman mean? 這樣的題目。所以這一常考題型，相信平時也已練習(xí)不少。其中，可能稍微有點難度的是幾個單詞，例如：protest(抗議);rerun(重新出演)，entertaining(有趣的，有娛樂性的)，但其實這幾個詞并不影響做題。最難的也就最后一題：既有developmental psychology(發(fā)展心理學(xué))這樣的專業(yè)學(xué)科名稱，又有registration這樣部分考生不太熟悉的詞，從而影響整個對話的理解。
