英語六級(jí)聽力真題：2011年12月六級(jí)聽力passage2原文解析(昂立版)
There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man orwoman who was born here , who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of thecommuter. The city that is swallowed up by locusts each day and spat out eachnight. Third, there’s a New York of the personwho was born somewhere else and came to New York and quest of something. Of these three tremblingcities, the greatest is the last, the city of final destination. The city thatis a goal. It is a start’s city that accounts for New York’s high strong disposition. It’sdedication to the arts and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give thecity its title restlessness. Natives give its solidity and continuity. But thesettlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to setup a small grocery store in a slum; or a young girl arriving from a small townin Misiippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors; or aboy arriving from the corn belt with a manual script in his suitcase and a painin his heart. It makes no difference. Each embraces New York with the intense excitement of firstlove. Each absorbs New Yorkwith the fresh eyes of an adventure. Each generates heat and light to dwarfconsolidated Edison company。
這篇文章講的是紐約這個(gè)城市。紐約是一個(gè)充滿機(jī)會(huì)的城市，無論你來自何方，出身如何，都可以在這里找到自己的夢(mèng)想。而紐約也正是因?yàn)檫@群來自他鄉(xiāng)的人才顯得生機(jī)勃勃。
總的來說這篇文章難度比較大，難詞比較多。
