在《 浅谈英语六级听力之短文理解技巧(一)》中，主要给大家介绍了短文理解听力的题型及主要做题方法和步骤，相信大家应该有所把握，今天文都英语靖老师结合听力中的短文理解真题给大家进行剖析。

　　下边是篇文章涉及到的三个问题及选项。按照步，我们要通过选项勾画出关键词并且要推断出大致的问题。

　　16. A) One fifth of them were on bad terms with their sisters and brothers. B) About one eighth of them admitted to lingering bitter feelings. C) More than half of them were involved in inheritance disputes. D) Most of them had broken with their sisters and brothers. 关键词勾画完，我们大概知道这几个选项都是在说他们与一些人包括兄弟姐妹的关系。

　　17. A) Less concern with money matters. B) More experience in worldly affairs. C) Advance in age. D) Freedom from work. 该选项主要是一些名词短语，应该是他们关注的东西。

　　18. A) They have little time left to renew contact with their brothers and sisters. B) They tend to forget past unhappy memories and focus on their present needs. C) They are more tolerant of one another. D) They find close relatives more reliable. 该选项是在说他们与他们的亲戚之间的关系。

　　总的来看，文章应该在说他们与亲属包括兄弟姐妹之间的关系状况。文章如下：

　　In a study of older people with sisters and brothers, psychologist Debra Gold of the Duke Center for the study of aging and human development found that about 20% said they were hostile or indifferent to ward their sisters and brothers. Reasons for this ranged from inheritance disputes to hostility between spouses. But, many of those who had poor relationships felt guilty. Although most people admitted to some lingering rivalry, it was rarely strong enough to end the relationship. Only four out of the 54 people interviewed had completely broken with their sisters and brothers and only one of the four felt comfortable with the break. As sisters and brothers advanced into old age, closeness increases and rivalry diminishes, explains VC, a psychologist at Purdue University. Most of the elderly people he interviewed said they had supportive and friendly dealings and got along well or very well with their sisters and brothers. Only 4% got along poorly. Gold found that as people age, they often become more involved with and interested in their sisters and brothers. 53% of those she interviewed said that contact with their sisters and brothers increase innate adulthood. With family and career obligations reduced, many said that they had more time for each other. Others said that they felted with time to heal wounds. A man who had recently reconciled with his brother told Gold there’s something that lets older people to put aside bad deeds of the past and focus a little on what we need now, especially when it’s sisters and brothers.

　　16. What does the study by Debra Gold find about older people? 问题问的是研究结果，开门见山出现在文章开头，were hostile是对于bad terms with的同义替换，并且数字20%也是关键。

　　17. What has probably caused closeness to increase among sisters and brothers according to VC? 问的是有关的原因，最重要的是听到什么选什么，advanced into old age,是原文出现过的内容。

　　18. What did the man who had recently reconciled with his brother tell Debra Gold about older people? 所听即所答，并且在文章末尾也容易设置题目，在答案中，put aside--forget; focus on是原词复现。

　　总之，该题目比起长短对话，虽然文章长了一些，但是要比那些题目简单，不用推理，只需要认真听，眼睛关注选项，听到即答案。因此，需要大家把真题做做，该题目还是不难得分的。祝大家英语六级顺利通关。
