2018年6月大学英语六级真题试卷三详细答案

Part I Writing (30 minutes) (请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分,之后将进行听力考试)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building trust between teachers and students. You can cite examples to illustrate your views. you should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

【解析】写作题考察了同学们的写作能力,要求在30分钟内完成,时间有限,因此在备战英语六级的时候,平时应积累一些模版,多背一些精彩的句子,在平时的练习中,应该在20分钟内完成一篇不少于150词的作文,下面给出以下几点建议:

一,写作中,字体要工整,改卷老师在批改六级作文的时候,由于任务量大,再加上批改时视觉疲劳,不可能对每一篇作文都看得那么仔细,有时候就凭卷面的第一印象打分,因此字体美观大方能提高作文的分数;

二,注意段落结构,写作时,应带有题目,一般分三段进行,第一段总体概述,引出正文,第二段详细阐述文档内容,要分条理进行,比如,firstly,secondly,等,正文一般4-6句话阐述完毕,第三段总结正文部分,回归主题。

三,写作要注重语法结构,不要出现明显的语法错误,否则扣分较多,影响总体成绩。

四,遇到不会写的词,要用其他相关的词语表达。

café?

other. Wouldn’t you agree?

M: That’s amazing! How did you come up with the idea?

W: We saw other cafés with cats in them. So we thought why not rabbits? People love rabbits. They are very cute animals.

W: It’s perfectly safe for both rabbits and our customers. Rabbits are very peaceful, and

received required shots, so there is no health risk whatsoever. 【4】 As for our customers, they are all animal lovers, so they would never try to hurt the

Passage One

At some 2,300 miles in length, the Mississippi is the longest river in the United States. At some 1,000 miles, the Mackenzie is the longest river in Canada. But these waterways seem minute in comparison to the world’s two lengthiest rivers: the Nile and the Amazon. The Nile, which begins in central Africa and flows over 4,100 miles north into the Mediterranean, hosted one of the world’s great ancient civilizations along its shores. Calm and peaceful for most of the year, the Nile used to flood annually, thereby creating, irrigating and carrying new top soil to the nearby farmland on which ancient Egypt

depended for livelihood. As a means of transportation, the river carried various vessels up

today would pass by the splendid Valley of the Kings with the tombs of many of these ancient monarchs have stood for over 3,000 years. 【10】Great civilizations and intensive settlement are hardly associated with the Amazon. 【11】 Yet this 4,000-mile long South American river carries about 20% of the world’s fresh water, more than the Mississippi, Nile and Yangtze combined.

Other statistics are equally astonishing. The Amazon is so wide at some points that from its center neither shore can be seen. Each second the Amazon pours some 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic. There, at its mouth, stands one island larger than Switzerland. Most important of all, the Amazon irrigates the largest tropical rainforest on earth.

show up after that date exotic. “Ecosystem’s free of species to find as exotic are by default c onsidered the most natural. You can’t roll back the clock and remove all exotics or fix habitats,” Dr.Rosensberg said. Both native and exotic species can become invasive and so they all have to be monitored and controlled when they begin to get out of hand. At its core, the debate is about how to manage the world’s remaining natural ecosystems and about how and how much to restore other habitats. Species that invade a territory can harm ecosystems, agriculture and human health. They can threaten some native species or even destroy and replace others. “Next to habitat loss, these invasive species represent the greatest threat to biodiversity worldwide,” many ecologists say. Ecologists generally define an alien species as one that people accidentally or deliberately carried to its new location. Across the American continents, exotic species are those introduced after the first European contact. That date rounded up to 1500 AD represents what ecologists consider to have been in major shift in the spread of species including crops and livestock, as they

species in the United States, out of a total of 150,000 species, only about 10% are

Yet appearances can deceive, ecologists caution, and many of these exotics may be considered acceptable only because no one has documented their harmful effects. What is more, non-native species can appear harmless for decades then turn invasive.

Recording Two

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third in our series of business seminars in the program “Doing Business Abroad”. Today, we are going to look at intercultural awareness that is the fact about everyone in British. Not everyone speaks

overseas business people are selling to us, then they will make every effort to speak English and to respect our traditions and methods. It is only polite for us to do the same, when we visit them. It is not only polite, it is essential, if we want to sell British products overseas.

First, a short quiz. Let’s see how interculturally aware you are.

Question 1: Where must you not drink alcohol on the first and seventh of every month? Question 2: Where should you never admire your host’s possessions?

Question 3: How should you attract the waiter during a business lunch in Bangkok?

And question 4: Where should you try to make all your appointments either before 2:00 or after 5:30 p.m.

OK, everyone has a chance to make some notes. Right, here are the answers. Although I am sure that the information could equally well apply to countries other than those I have

in India. In international hotels, you may find it served, but if you are having a meal

if your arrival

with an Indian colleague, remember to avoid asking for a beer

finally, in Spain, some businesses maintain the pattern of working until about 2:00 and then returning to the office from 5:30 to 8:00, 9:00 or 10:00 in the evening. 【杀掉拦路虎】
