Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this sect ion, there is a passage with ten bla nks. You are required to select one word for
each bla nk from a list of choices give n in a word bank followi ng 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 cen tre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more tha n once. Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Let' s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can ' t seem to keep their inner monologues（独白）in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain _26 _better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.
Accord ing to a series of experime nts published in the Quarterly Jour nal of Experime ntal Psychology
by professors Gary Lupya n and Daniel Swig nl ey, the act of using verbal clues to 27 men tal pictures helps people fun cti on quicker.
In one experime nt, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty _28 _and asked them to find
just one of those, a banana. Half were _ 9 _ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other
half kept their lips 30 ._ Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster tha n those who
did n ' t, the researchers say .In other experime nts, Lupya n and Swig nley found that 31 the n ame of a
com mon product whe n on the hunt for it helped quicke n some one ' s pace, but talk ing about un com mon items showed no adva ntage and slowed you dow n.
Common research has long held that talk ing themselves through a task helps childre n lear n, although
doing so whe n you ：32（§ matured is n ot a great sig n of __33 — The two professors hope to refute that idea,_34 _ that just as whe n kids walk themselves through a process, adults can ben efit from using Ianguage not just to communic ate, but also to help “ augment thinking ”.
Of course, you are still en couraged to keep the talk ing at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the
information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any 35 _, there ' s still such a thing as too much
in formati on.
Section B
Directions: In this sect ion, you are going to read a passage with ten stateme nts attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the in formati on is derived. You
may choose a paragraph more tha n on ce.Each paragraph is marked with a letter. An swer the questi ons by
mark ing the corresp onding
letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently
[A] The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.
[B] Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, accord ing to a new Pew Research Cen ter survey. There are usually two pare nts, who spe nd a lot of time readi ng to childre n and worryi ng about their an xiety levels and hectic schedules.
[C] In poor families, mean while, childre n tend to spe nd their time at home or with exte nded family.
They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren ' t great for raising children,
and their pare nts worry about them gett ing shot, beate n up or in trouble with the law.
[D] The class differe nces in child reari ng are grow ing —a symptom of wide ning in equality with far-reach ing con seque nces. Different upbri ngings set childre n on differe nt paths and can deepe n socioec ono mic divisio ns, especially because educati on is stron gly lin ked to earnin gs. Childre n grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum （阶层）,but not necessarily others.
[E] “ Early^hildhood experiences can be very consequential for children l b n g-term social, emotional
and cog nitive developme nt, ” said Sean Reard on, professor of poverty and in equality in educati on at
Stanford Universi ty. “ And because those in flue nee educati onal success and later earnin gs, early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow. ” The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer
resources to in vest in their childre n, which can leave childre n less prepared for school and work, which
leads to lower earnin gs.
[F] American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, hon est and ethical, cari ng and compassi on ate. There is no best pare nti ng style or philosophy, researchers say, and across in come groups, 92% of pare nts say they are doing a good job at rais ing their childre n. Yet they are doing it quite differe ntly. Middle-class and higher- in come pare nts see their childre n as projects in n eed of careful cultivatio n, says Ann ette Lareau, whose
groun dbreak ing research on the topic was published in her book Un equal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop their skills through close supervisi on and orga ni zed activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.
[G] Work in g-class pare nts, mean while, believe their childre n will n aturally thrive, and give them far greater in depe ndence and time for free play. They are taught to be complia nt and respectful to adults. There are ben efits to both approaches. Work in g-class childre n are happier, more in depe ndent, compla in less and are closer with family members, Ms. Lareau found. Higher- in come childre n are more likely to declare boredom and expect their pare nts to solve their problems. Yet later on, the more afflue nt childre n end up in college and on the way to the middle class, while work in g-class childre n tend to struggle. Childre n from higher- in come families are likely to have the skills to n avigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms. Lareau said.
[H] “ Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely, ” she said. “ D strategies give childre n more adva ntages tha n others in in stituti ons? Probably they do. Will pare nts be
damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt it. ”
[I] Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to
spe nd on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take childre n to museums or atte nd
school even ts. Extracurricular activities reflect the differe nces in child reari ng in the Pew survey, which was
of a
n atio nally represe ntative sample of 1,807 pare nts. Of families earning more tha n $75,000 a year, 84% say their childre n have participated in orga ni zed sports over the past year, 64% have done volun teer work and 62% have take n less ons in music, dance or art. Of families earning less tha n $30,000, 59% of childre n have done sports, 37% have volun teered and 41% have take n arts classes.
[J] Especially in affluent families, children start young. Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate pare nts en rolled their childre n in arts classes before they were 5, compared with on e-fifth of low-i ncome,
less- educated parents. Nonetheless, 20% of well- off parents say their children ' s schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer pare nts.
[K] Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better readi ng comprehe nsion in school. 71% of pare nts with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less. White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents. Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-i ncome pare nts are more likely to depe nd on family members. Discipli ne tech niq ues vary by educati on level: 8% of those with a postgraduate degree say they ofte n beat their childre n, compared with 22% of those with a high school degree or less.
[L] The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents ' attitudes toward education do
not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility.
s grades as Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children '
they work hard. But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a
college degree, compared with 39% of wealthier pare nts.
[M] Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that
there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child 'ducation. Parents who are white, wealthy or college- educated say too much in volveme nt can be bad. Paren tal an xieties reflect their circumsta nces. High- earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children. While bullyi ng is pare nts 'greatest concern over all, n eartywhiiltome pare nts worry their child
will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents. They are more worried about their children being depressed or an xious.
[N] In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right
betwee n work in g-class and high-ear ning pare nts on issues like the quality of their n eighborhood for rais ing children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children s'education.
[O] Children were not always raised so differently. The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr. Reardon ' s research. People used to live near people of different incoml e vels;
n eighborhoods are now more segregated by in come. More tha n a quarter of childre n live in sin gle-pare nt households —a historic high, according to Pew 一and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married pare nts. Mean while, grow ing in come in equality has coin cided with the in creas ing importa nce of a college degree for earning a middle-class wage.
[P] Yet there are recent sig ns that the gap could be start ing to shri nk. In the past decade, even as
in come in equality has grow n, some of the socioec ono mic differe nces in pare ntin g, like read ing to childre n and going to libraries, have n arrowed.
[Q] Public policies aimed at young children have helped, including public preschool programs and readi ng in itiatives. Address ing differe nces in the earliest years, it seems, could reduce in equality in the n ext gen eratio n.
36. Work in g-class pare nts teach their childre n to be obedie nt and show respect to adults.
37. American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despite differe nt ways of pare nti ng.
38. While rich parents are more concerned with their children psychological well-being, poor parents
are more worried about their children safety. ' s
39. The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social in equality.
40. Paren ti ng approaches of work in g-class and afflue nt families both have adva ntages.
41. Higher- in come families and work in g-class families now tend to live in differe nt n eighborhoods.
42. Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.
43. Ms. Lareau doesn ' believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect
childre n developme nt.
44. Wealthy parents are concerned about their children ' s mental schethuieidl busy
45. Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the past ten years.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this secti on. Each passage is followed by some questi ons or
unfini shed stateme nts. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You
should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a sin gle line
through the cen tre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Tennessee ' s technical and community colleges will noiutsource （外包）management of their facilities
to a private compa ny, a decisi on one leader said was bolstered by an an alysis of spe nding at each campus.
In an email sent Mon day to college preside nts in the Tenn essee Board of Rege nts system, outgo ing
Chan cellor Joh n Morga n said an internal an alysis showed that each campus ' spe nding on facilities man ageme nt fell well below the in dustry sta ndards ide ntified by the state. Morga n said those findings —— which included data from the system ' s 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities
were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam ' s proposal to privatize man ageme nt of state build ings in an effort to save mon ey.
“ While these nu mbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustme nts they might
suggest will be immaterial, ” Morga n wrote to the preside nts. “ System in stituti ons are operat ing very
efficie ntly based on this an alysis, rais ing the questi on of the value of purs uing a broad scale outsourci ng in itiative. ”
Worker ' s advocates have criticized Haslam ' s plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or ben efits. Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souri ng pla n, which has not bee n fin alized.
Morga n no tified the Haslam adm ini strati on of his decisi on to opt out in a letter sent last week. That
letter, which in cludes several concerns Morga n has with the pla n, was origi nally obta ined by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.
In an email statement from the state ' s Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining
the possibility of outsourc ing, spokeswoma n Michelle R. Marti n said officials were still worki ng to an alyze the data from the Board of Rege nts. Data on man ageme nt expe nses at the college system and in other state departme nts will be part of a
“ bus in ess justificati on ” the state will use as officials deliberate the specific
an outsourci ng pla n.
“ The state ' s facilities man ageme nt project testiil iin the process of develop ing its bus in ess justificati on and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of February, said. “ At this time there is nothing to take actio n on si nee the an alysis has yet to be completed.
Morgan ' s comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out against one of Haslam ' s plans for higher education in Tennessee. Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor ' ss p lib prffeailxtoiniversities of the Board of Regents system
and create separate gover ning boards for each of them .In his resig natio n letter, Morga n called the reorganization
“ unworkable ”.
46. What do we learn about the decision of technical and community colleges in Tennessee?
2017年12月英语六级考试真题试卷附答案(完整版第3套) Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying "Help others, and you will be helped when you are in need." You can cite examples to illustrate your views. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Part Ⅰ Writing Be Generous with Your Help When it comes to the topic of help, we are frequently told that, "Help others, and you will be helped when you are in need. '' Simple as the saying is, it implies the importance of helping others in need. What I learn from the remark, in short words, is that helping others is helping yourself. Examples can easily be found to make this point clearer. The story of the ant and the dove is a case in point. An ant slipped into the river when drinking along the river. A dove heard his cries for help and threw him a leaf, which helped the ant float back to the bank. After a few days, a hunter was raising his gun to the dove as she was building her nest. Seeing this, the ant ran quickly to bite the hunter's leg. The dove heard the hunter's scream and flew away. All in all, this example indicates that when we offer our help to others, we are leaving a way open for the future. Helping others is a virtue, and we should take some measures to carry forward this virtue and do others a favor. Only in this way can we build a loving and harmonious society.

Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. You may have heard that Coca-Cola once contained an ingredient capable of sparking particular devotion in consumers: cocaine. The “ coca” in the name referred the extracts of coca leaf that the drinks originator, chemist John Pemberton, mixed with his sugary syrup（姜汁）.At the time, coca leaf extract mixed with wi ne was a com mon tonic（滋补品），and Pembert on ' s sweet brew was a way to get around local laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol. But the other half of the name represents another ingredient, less infamous（名声不好的）,perhaps, but also strangely potent: the kola nut. In West Africa, people have long chewed kola nuts as stimulants, because they contain caffeine that also occurs naturally in tea, coffee, and chocolate. They also have heart stimulants. Historian Paul Lovejoy relates that the cultivation of kola nuts in West Africa is hundreds of years old. The leafy, spreading trees were planted on graves and as part of traditional rituals. Even though the nuts, which need to stay moist, can be somewhat delicate to transport, traders carried them hundreds of miles throughout the forests and grasslands. Europeans did not know of them until the 1500s, when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of what is now Sierra Leone. And while the Portuguese took part in the trade, ferrying nuts down the coast along with other goods, by 1620, when English explorer Richard Jobson made his way up the Gambia, the nuts were still peculiar to his eyes. By the late 19th century, kola nuts were being shipped by the tonne to Europe and the US. Many made their way into medicines, intended as a kind of energy boost. One such popular medicinal drink was Vin Mariani, a French product consisting of coca extract mixed with red wine. It was created by a French chemist, Angelo Mariani, in 1863. So when Pemberton created his drink,it representedan ongoing trend. When cocaine eventually fell from grace as a beverage ingredient, kola-extract colas became popular. The first year it was available, Coca-Cola averaged nine servings a day across all the Atlanta soda fountains where it was sold. As it grew more popular, the company sold rights to bottle the soda, so it could travel easily. Today about 1.9 billion Cokes are purchased daily. It' s become so iconic that attempts to change its taste in 1985 sweetening it in a move projected to boost sales —proved disastrous, with widespread anger from consumers. -“CoClaocCalassic ,”returned to store shelves just three months after the “New Coke” was released. These days, the Coca-Cola recipe is a closely guarded secret. But it' s said to no longer contain kola nut extract, relying instead on artificial imitations to achieve the flavour. 你可能听说可口可乐曾经含有一种能够使消费者“死忠”的成分：可卡因名中的“ coca”指的是古柯叶的提取物，该饮料的创始人化学家约翰?彭伯顿用它与含糖的姜汁混合在一起。当时，古柯叶提取物与葡萄酒混合是常见的滋补品，而当地法律禁止出售含酒精饮料，彭伯顿的甜饮则避开了该法律。“cola ”代表另一种成分——可乐果：尽管名声不太好，但非常给力。 在西非，人们长期以来一直嚼着可乐果作为兴奋剂，因为它们含有咖啡因。咖啡因在茶、咖啡和巧克力中也天然存在。它们也有心脏兴奋剂。
