2010年6月英语六级考试听力部分整体难度较往年稍有所提高，但仍与历年考察的重点及原则一脉相承，从宏观及微观两方面考察同学们听力技巧及文章理解的能力。
短对话
从宏观上来看，可以发现的一大特点是问题都以推断型的方式来考察，对于综合推断类问题的解题方略，最重要的三项原则是
1)通过预先浏览选项推测对话主题
2)抓住对话主题进行判断
3)综合把握对话双方与主题相关的所有细节，以防选项的单一和片面
比如：
11. M: Oh, I’m so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library.
W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won’t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK?
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
该题可用排除法得出答案。从对话中可知，男士忘了将女士的书带来，而女士的那本书是她从图书馆借来的。同时女士也明确表明周五晚上是最后期限，男士必须在此之前还她，因此答案是The man failed to keep his promise，因为男士没有信守承诺，将书带给女士。
12. W: Doctor, I haven’t been able to get enough sleep lately, and I’m too tired to concentrate in class.
M: Well, you know, spending too much time indoors with all that artificial lighting can do that to you. Your body loses track of whether it’s day or night.
Q: What does the man imply?
该题关键是弄懂医生说的那句话，因为女士一天到晚呆在室内接受人工光源的照射，于是身体无法自动调节时间，因此医生认为女士应该多出去走走，做一些户外活动。因此答案是The woman should spend more time outdoors.
同理，短对话中的13、14、17、18题均以推断型的提问方式来出题，以此考察考生对于对话情景的整体把握能力。
从微观上来看，今年的短对话部分侧重于转折、建议、关键提示词、语义解释等内容的考察，且有相加合并考察的趋势特点。例如：
14. W: I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me.
M: Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority.
Q: What does the man mean?
此题明显考察了转折考点，对男人回答中but部分针对提问。对话中女士赞扬男士发表的文章非常好，论点很有说服力。男士的回答是，就读者总体反映来看，他们两个人绝对是出于少数人的行列，也就是说只有少数人认为赞同男士在文章中的论点， 故选择Most readers do not share his viewpoints.
又如：
15. M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to her again?
W: Well, if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
此题是非常典型的三三原则相加，即以well为代表的关键提示词，if I were you虚拟语态特殊表达表建议及语义解释。由女士说的“if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her”，因此，女士希望男士先让Daisy冷静几天，等怒气消停了再说。cool off意为“冷静，平静下来，息怒”，故此题选择Leave Daisy alone for the time being.
再如：
17. M: Our basketball team is playing in the finals but I don’t have a ticket. I guess I’ll just watch it on TV. Do you want to come over?
W: Actually I have a ticket. But I’m not feeling well. You can have it for what it cost me.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
此题又是非常典型的两两原则相加，即以actually为代表的关键提示词和but转折原则的相加。该对话中，男士没买到票，而女士则刚好有，她身体不舒服，故而想将自己的票以原价转让给男士，故选择The man can get the ticket at its original price。该文主要是由“You can have it for what it cost me”得出。
长对话
此次六级长对话的考察题材秉承历年的趋势，分别为职场工作和人物访谈，考察结构也比较明晰，遵循了长对话的一贯基本结构即“引出话题，讨论话题，结束话题”以及“开头必考，结尾必考及中间话题转换处必考”的技巧及原则。
例如：
19. D) He is undecided as to which job to go for.
文中开始部分女士问“So you are not sure which to go for?”，男士回答的是“That’s it.”表明男士还没决定应该选哪份工作。
20. C) They are all adults.
由“The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates.”可得出。
21. B) Varied and interesting.
男士提及the Language School in Pistoia时说到教学类型很多时，女士回答的是“that sounds much more varied and interesting.”因此该题选B。
22. C) Hosting a television show.
Good evening and welcome to tonight's edition of Legendary Lives. 此题以推断问题考察对于文章上下文的理解，历年也有类似的考题，例如07年12月份的第19题也是利用周围的情景词来定位，这类题目需要引起重视，此外，还需注意容易混淆的A选项。
23. A) He lost his mother.
男士提及“He wasn't there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmy's father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.”
24. B) He got seriously into acting.
文中原句：then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting
25. B) He has long been a legendary figure.
原文提到“So what made him the legend he still is today?” 说明从过去到现在James Dean一直是一个Legend。
