【正文】 epends on the time you spend trying to learn it. This can be taken as our first rule of learning. Although it is usually true that studying for 4 hours is better than studying for 1, there is still the question of how to use the 4 hours. For example, is it better to study for 4 hours straight or to study for 1 hour a day for 4 days in a row? The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times. This phenomenon through which we can learn more efficiently by dividing our practice time is known as the distribution of practice effect. Thus, our second rule of learning is this. It’ s better to study fairly briefly but often. But we are not finished yet. We haven’ t considered how we should study over very short periods of time. Let’ s say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards. Should you look at the same word in rapid succession or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again? The 09 年 12 月 —08 年 6 月 英語六級聽力真題 6 answer is it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn. 2020 年 12 月英語六級聽力原文 Section A: 11.

M: They are worried about the potential danger if the dam should break. The river is very wide above the proposed site. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? Conversation One W: Mr. White, what changes have you seen in the champagne market in the last ten to fifteen years? M: Well the biggest change has been the decrease in sales since the great boom years of the 1980s when champagne production and sales reached record levels. W: Which was the best year? M: Well the record was in 1989 when 249 million bottles of champagne was sold. The highest production level was reached in 1990 with a total of 293 million bottles. Of course since those boom years sales have fallen. W: Has the market been badly hit by the recession? M: Oh certainly, the economic problems in champagnes’ export markets that’s Europe, the United States, Japan, and of course the domestic market in France, the economic problems have certainly been one reason for the decrease in champagne sales. W: And the other reasons? M: Another important factor has been price. In the early 90s, champagne was very overpriced, so many people stop buying it. Instead they bought sparkling wines from other countries, in particular from Australia and Spain. And then there was another problem for champagne in the early 90s. W: What was that? M: There was a lot of rather bad champagne on the market. This meant the popularity of good sparkling wines increased even more. People was surprised by their quality and of course they were a lot cheaper than champagne. W: Do you think the champagne market will recover in the future? M: Oh, I’m sure it will. When the economic situation improves, I believe the market will recover. Questions 1921 are based on the conversation you have just heard. Question 19: What does the man say about champagne in 1980s? Question 20: Why did sparkling wines bee more popular than champagne in the early 90s? Question 21: What does the man think of the champagne market in the future?
