Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter,
more 26 , less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and 27 ,
more confident, resourceful (机敏的), persistent and 28 than he will ever be
again in his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his
life. Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more
difficult, complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than
any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has
discovered it – babies don’t even know that language exists –and he has found out how
it works and learned to use it 32 . He has done it by exploring, by experimenting,
by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by 33 and seeing
whether it works, by gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And
while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including
many of the “ 35 ” that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that
are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to
select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank
following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making
your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please
mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the
bank more than once.
Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with
hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest
36 hunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month.
As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, it’s asking 37 across the country to
help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide
low-income individuals and families with the fuel they need to
38 .
It’s the kind of work that’s done every day at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in
San Antonio. People who 39 at its front door on the first and third Thursdays of
each month aren’t looking for God – they’re there for something to eat. St. Andrew’s
runs a food pantry (食品室) that 40 the city and several of the 41 towns.
Janet Drane is its manager.
In the wake of the 42 , the number of families in need of food assistance
began to grow. It is 43 that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will
find their next meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in 44 where
at least one adult is working. “It used to be that one job was all you needed,” says St.
Andrew’s Drane. “The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and
they’re still right on the edge 45 .”

Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements
attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the
paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Universities Branch Out
A) As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of
national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the
scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of
educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at
the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services,
information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for
global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.
B) In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities
have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the
world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own
students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that
address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的)
research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.
C) Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement
across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home
each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from
800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to
another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly.
The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too.
Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the
United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number
crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the
undergraduates at America’s best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates
in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in
science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.
D) Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate
years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the
Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating
institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping
place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global
careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least
one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial
resources to make it possible.
E) Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves
sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and
Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center
focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in
collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has
95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory
facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend
videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement
benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower
costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors
and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.
F) As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the
world in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe
computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure (基
础设施 ) and applications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes
highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University,
and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and
Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model,
perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of
other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the
university.
G) For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the
research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between
investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research
funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health
doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than inflation since
then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with
inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome,
but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science
funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation
plus 3 percent per year.
H) American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign
students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges
and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake
of September 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the
number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S. universities, and a
corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the U.K.
Objections from American university and business leaders led to improvements in
the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is still seen by
many as unwelcoming to international students.
I) Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-being
through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten
American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They
fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two
important positive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the States and—like
immigrants throughout history—strengthen the nation; and second, foreign
students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many
2005 年-2012 年六级作文真题及范文 2012 年6 月英语六级作文题 题目：The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication 要求：commenting on "Dad：Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad" The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication In contemporary society, our life is filled with a variety of anecdotes or stories, and the following is no exception: "Dad：Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad." Funny as it seems, this conversation can be naturally associated with the impacts of Internet on our life: In an era of Internet, the time for interpersonal communication is impaired by online chats or blogs. Apparently, the impacts of the Internet on interpersonal communication are diverse. For one thing, as a vital invention, Internet brings great convenience to our communication, eliminates the barrier of distance, and helps humans to keep in touch wherever and whenever. For another, it is Internet that does not enables family members, friends or classmates to communicate more in a face-to-face way. One case in point is that youngsters may spend hours chatting with acquaintances through QQ or MSN, but rarely do they talk with other face to face. Unfortunately, it we let this trend to continue as it is, the interpersonal relationship will, definitely, become alienated. To my understanding, it is advisable for people to communicate more with their families, friends and acquaintances in real life instead of merely through the Internet. Do bear in mind: Internet is just a tool. 2011 年12 月英语六级作文题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln s famous remark, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend, the first four sharpening the axe."

According to this Wisdom, we known that if we want to do everything successful, we must follow these ways. When we begin to study, our parents and teachers always told us to study hard. Hardworking, which is an useful way to success, is necessary for us. Hardworking, which means we should try our best to do the things. Besides, if you want to get success, we not only need hardworking, but also have some useful methods. If you have some useful methods, you will feel that it is easier to achieve your goals. What ' s more, we must stop talking and get down to work. Success is base on the actions. Actions, may not let we get success. But if we not action, it can never be successful. Regardless of the dream is big or small, the goal is high or low, from now on, swing it into action. In my opinion, if you follow these important ways to do every things, you will get success at last. 2011 年6 月英语六级作文题 1.现在许多人热衷于各类证书考试 2.其目的各不相同
2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析（第一套） Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 Whether to Attend a Vocational College or a University? It’s an undisputable truth that virtually all high school graduates will encounter the choices between a vocational college and a university. And when it comes to this question, students’ ideas are not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to choose and what to be taken into consideration, my advices are as follow. In the first place, we should be conscious of the fact that both of the two choices have its own superiorities. For instance, a vocational college specializes in cultivating human resources with practical capabilities; while a university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in different fields. Then it does follow that high school graduates should have a clear picture of themselves. That is to say, they should know their merits and demerits and their choices must give play to their strengths whilst circumvent weaknesses. In addition, interest is the best teacher and it’s also the premise of learning on one’s own initiative. Thus interest must be taken into account because it can not only decide how far one can reach academically and professionally but also how happy and fulfilled one will be. In brief, all above just goes to show that there really is no one-size-fits-all answer for the question. The key lies in a clear cognition, accurate self-positioning and the interest of oneself. Only then can every one find a right path that works best for us. Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.

D) They need improvement. 【答案】B 【解析】题目问男士的妻子认为他的书怎么样。男士说到：他最新的一本书是在2004年写的，当时在写的时候给他妻子看了一小部分。妻子认为他写的内容是垃圾。这表明他的妻子认为他写的书毫无价值。因此选B。 3. A) He seldom writes a book straight through.

大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案 第一篇 A scientific panel convened by the World Health Organization recommended guidelines on Friday for doctors conducting clinical studies of SARS patients. The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year’s epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed. “It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review,” said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the two-day meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and compounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. “We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways.” He said. In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions—generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations—have made it hard to interpret results. Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators（呼吸器）to help patients breathe, is the mainstay（主要支持）of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties. Dr. Mardel said. One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. “There is a lack of shared information,” Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published. The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to complete. The world Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations. 1. Guidelines recommended by the scientific panel can be used for _____. A. gathering potentially useful information about various therapies collected B. conducting clinical studies of SARS patients C. determining treatment for SARS D. publishing all the information about SARS

2011年12月英语六级作文范文 The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type The Way to Success "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comes our question, what is the way to success? A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success. Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody. Without efforts, no one can succeed. To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success. Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way. 【作文解析】 本次六级考试作文题为The way to success，与本次四级考试作文Nothing succeeds without a strong will遥相呼应，大同小异，都是在讨论成功这一话题。 此次六级考试作文的话题依然是老生常谈，即通往成功的道路，相信很多考生对此并不陌生，背过范文的同学写起来肯定也是得心应手。 该范文段落结构清晰，阐释说理也足以让人信服，是一篇不错的作文。 开篇作者通过引用爱迪生关于天才的一句名言来引出问题，吸引读者注意，引起读者的思考。紧随其后，作者就开门见山地亮出了自己的观点：只有坚强的意志和不懈的努力才能打开成功的大门。 第二段，作者同样以一个问题来引领全段，引发思考。然后通过对比不成功和最终成功的人的不同表现，来阐释坚强的意志对获得成功的重要作用。 第三段，作者进一步阐释“仅有坚强的意志，没有实在的努力，也能成功吗？”同样是先发问，然后举了爱迪生的事例，来证明答案是否定的。举名人的例子，而非个人的实例来作为文章的论据才更
