Short Conversation
11. M: Oh, I’m so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library.
W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won’t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK?
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
12. W: Doctor, I haven’t been able to get enough sleep lately, and I’m too tired to concentrate in class.
M: Well, you know, spending too much time indoors with all that artificial lighting can do that to you. Your body loses track of whether it’s day or night.
Q: What does the man imply?
13. M: I think I’ll get one of those new T-shirts, you know, with the school’s
logo on both the front and back.
W: You’ll regret it. They are expensive, and I’ve heard the printing fades easily when you wash them.
Q: What does the woman mean?
14. W: I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me.
M: Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority.
Q: What does the man mean?
15. M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to again?
W: Well, if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her. Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
16. M: Would you please tell me where I can get batteries for this brand of camera?
W: Let me have a look. Oh, yes, go down this aisle, pass the garden tools, you’ll find them on the shelf next to the light bulbs.
Q: What is the man looking for?
17. M: Our basketball team is playing in the finals but I don’t have a ticket. I guess I’ll just watch it on TV. Do you want to come over?
W: Actually I have a ticket. But I’m not feeling well. You can have it for what it cost me.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
18. M: Honey, I’ll be going straight to the theatre from work this evening. Could you bring my suit and tie along?
W: Sure, it’s the first performance of the State Symphony Orchestra in our city, so suit and tie is a must.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
Long Conversations
Conversation 1
M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic,
and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.
W: So you are not sure which to go for?
M: That’s it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a year’s contract, and that’s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.
W: I see. So it’s much less secure. But you don’t need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.
M: That’s true.
W: What about the salaries?
M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I’ll be getting the equivalent of about ￡22,000 a year there, but only ￡20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I’d have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.
W: Mmm…
M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children’s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.
W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I’d imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.
M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I’d be stuck in the school all day.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard:
Q19. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
Q20. What do we learn about the students at the Polytechnic?
Q21. What does the woman think of the job at the Language school? Conversation 2
Good evening and welcome to tonight's edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean, actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Murray is the author of a new biography of Dean.
W: Good evening, Edward.
M: Hello Tina.
W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean's early life.
M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn't there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmy's father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.
W: So how did he get into acting?
M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting.
W: Then when did his movie career really start?
M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one, Rebel Without a Cause, that was about teenagers who felt like they didn't fit into society.
W: So how many more movies did he make?
M: Just one more, then he died in that car crash in California in 1955.
W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies! So what made him the legend he still is today?
M: Well I guess his looks, his acting ability, his short life, and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people saw him as a symbol of American youths.
Q22 What is the woman doing?
Q23 Why did James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young?
Q24 What does the man say James Dean did at college in California?
Q25 What do we know about James Dean from the conversation?

Passage 1
The time is 9 o’clock and this is Marian Snow with the news.
The German authorities are sending investigators to discover the cause of the plane crash late yesterday on the island of Tenerife. The plane, a Boeing 737, taking German holiday makers to the island crashed into a hillside as it circled while preparing to land. The plane was carrying 180 passengers. It’s thought there are no survivors. Rescue workers were at the scene.
The British industrialist James Louis, held by kidnapper in central Africa for the past 8 months, was released unharmed yesterday. The kidnappers had been demanding 1 million pounds for the release of Mr. Louis. The London Bank and their agents who had been negotiating with the kidnappers have not said whether any amount of money has been paid.
The 500 UK motors workers who had been on strike in High Town for the past 3 three weeks went back to work this morning. This follows successful talks between management and union representatives, which resulted in a new agreement on working hour and conditions. A spokesman for the management said they’d hope they could now get back to producing cars, and that they lost lots of money and orders over this dispute.
And finally the weather. After a code start, most of the country should be warm and sunny. But towards late afternoon, rain will spread from Scotland to cover most parts by midnight.

Passage 2
Juan Louis, a junior geology major, decided to give an informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience and analysis he learned that only 2 or 3 of his classmates knew much of anything about geology. Juan realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary level and with a minimum of scientific language. As he prepared the speech, Juan kept asking himself, “How can I make this clear and meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles?” Since he was speaking in the Midwest, he decided to begin by noting that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811. If such an earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would flatten most of the cities in the Mississippi valley. That, he figured, should get his classmates’ attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Juan dealt only with the basic mechanics of the earthquakes, carefully avoid technical
terms. He also prepared visual aids, diagramming photo line, so his classmates wouldn’t get confused. To be absolutely safe, Juan asked his roommate, who was not a geology major, to listen to the speech. “Stop me,”he said, “any time I say something you don’t understand.” Juan’s roommate stopped him four times. And at each spot, Juan worked out a way to make his point more clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and perfectly understandable to his audience.
Questions 30 – 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Q30 What did Juan Louis learn from the analysis of his audience?
Q31 How did Juan Louis start his speech?
Q32 What did Juan ask his roommate to do when he was making his trial speech?
Passage 3
Esperanto is an artificial language, designed to serve internationally as an auxiliary means of communication among speakers of different languages. It was created by Ludwig Lazar Zamenhof, a polish Jewish doctor specialized in eye diseases. Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement was launched to promote its use. Despite arguments and disagreements, the movement has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries. Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least 1 million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contexts, on radio broadcasts and in a number of Its popularity has spread form Europe, both east and west, to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto has had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations, often in scientific or technological works. EL POPOLA CHINIO, which means from people’s China, it’s a monthly magazine in Esperanto and it’s read worldwide. Radio Beijing’s Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world. Esperanto vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin, the Roman’s languages, English and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus for example, every noun ends in “o”, every adjective in “a”, and basic form of every verb in “i”. Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old ones. Questions 33 – 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Q33 What does the speaker tell us about Esperanto?
Q34 What is said about the international movement to promote the use of Esperanto?
Q35 What does the speaker say about Esperanto in China?
Section C
George Herbert Mead said that humans are "talked into" humanity. He meant that we gain personal identity as we communicate with others. In the earliest years of our lives, our parents tell us who we are:"You're intelligent." "You're so strong."
We first see ourselves through the eyes of others. So their messages form important foundations of our self-concepts. Later, we interact with teachers, friends, romantic partners and coworkers who communicate their views of us. Thus, how we see ourselves reflects the views of us that others communicate. The profound connection between identity and communication is dramatically evident in children who are deprived of human contact. Case studies of children who were isolated from others reveal that they lack a firm self-concept, and their mental and psychological development is severely hindered by lack of language.
Communication with others not only affects our sense of identity, but also directly influences our physical and emotional well-being. Consistently, research shows that communicating with others promotes health, whereas social isolation is linked to stress, disease, and early death.
People who lack close friends have greater levels of anxiety and depression than people who are close to others. A group of researchers reviewed scores of studies that traced the relationship between health and interaction with others.
The conclusion was that social isolation is statistically as dangerous as high blood pressure, smoking and obesity. Many doctors and researchers believe that loneliness harms the immune system, making us more vulnerable to a range of miner and major illnesses.

原文精译
艾迪生·赫德用妻儿的照片作为自己的笔记本桌面。他在弗吉尼亚达顿
修工商管理硕士学位，很思念自己的家人。由于离家在校学习，【47】他只能通过电话和数码照片了解儿子一岁的成长过程。他说，“不能每天和他们在一起，这非常艰难”。
这是他家人的选择。妻子伊登是华盛顿地区一家公司的法律顾问，对她而言，辞职、卖掉房子、随丈夫来到夏洛茨维尔，在经济方面没有任何意义。所以赫德自己来到夏洛茨维尔。【48】第一年，两人轮流，每个周末开200英里的车见面。去年五月，孩子出生了，大部分时候艾迪生开车回家看望家人。
艾迪生的情况看似复杂，却并不少见。每年，成百上千对夫妻要考虑如何处理家庭后勤工作，当其中一人去商学院学习时。有人选择远距离爱情，在周末和休假时见面。有些人只能在假期和节庆日才能看到另一半和孩子。还有一些人带着家人一起上学。
不在一起很辛苦，但艾迪生一家尽力过得舒服。周末两人都在弗吉尼亚时，会一起参加社交活动，妻子感觉自己是其一部分。艾迪生也会避开周五的课，可以和家人呆的时间长一些，他说，“我们已形成了惯例，不过我还是希望能在家，这样我们三个人才能真正在一起。”
任何长距离都会给彼此之间的关系带来压力，一些夫妻因而分手。【49】夫妻一方忙于自己要求严格的学业安排，一方忙于应付职业，压力会加倍，使学生学习时分心。
这些情况下，有些学校给予了大力支持。对远距离夫妻来讲，当他们来访时，校园里会有相关活动，也有网上社区，甚至在他们家乡会有老乡会。【50】但主要地，商学院让学生带着家人来学习变得更简单。他们帮助家人找放在，学校，或在当地找工作。
决定在远方的商学院学习，伴随而来的是经济和后勤问题。学生需要决定家人留在家乡，还是跟着来上学。不管哪一种方法，学校尽力去满足。【51】MBA学生科里赫里西克说，“我们考虑的不仅仅是自我，这是个影响家庭的决定”。

Passage One
原文精译
他是美国历史上第一位拥有MBA的总统，他喜欢炫耀自己的商业背景，他的总统竞选大战从各大公司口袋里招募的资金，数目前所未见，首席执行官充斥着他的内阁。乔治·布什认为，执行官违背信誉，滥用权力，这破坏了对美国商业领导人诚实的信心。这个时代，在个人责任感方面，商业社会需要新的道德准则。他将“结束作假帐、隐瞒真相、违反法律的时代”。
仅仅几个月前，乔治·布什将公开痛斥美国公司老总的想法很可笑。作为候选人，他出生在经济繁荣期，股市经历了前所未有的长达18年的牛市，他趁机利用了美国公司的成功。现在情况不一样了。股票市场的泡沫破碎了，尽管有经济复苏的迹象，华尔街看起来依然低迷。美国最野心勃勃的公司如Enron, Xerox. Tyco Global Crossing，最近是World Com，出现了一系列的丑闻，很大程度上影响了公众情绪。
要求改革的政治压力越来越大，对布什总统的压力也越来越大。【52】这位企业家总统真的准备好与商业较量，严厉推行改革吗?虽然在纽约他紧咬牙关，语气坚决，但很有可能他不会推行改革。布什总统认为，目前的危机来源于首席行政官中为数不多的几个坏家伙，而不是因为整个制度。所以他的重心是加重对****企业家的惩罚，呼吁更高的道德标准。总统宣布成立金融犯罪小组SWAT，在司法部根除企业欺诈，【53】如果因经济欺诈而坐牢，如果因经济欺诈而坐牢，将使最长的刑期加倍，从5年增加到10年。但关于体系改革，他基本上没有提具体的建议：基本没有提到如何加强股票所有者的权利，更没有涉及参议院提出的要求企业改革的议案。 基本没有迹象，但清理美国企业是能刺激选民的事。民意调查显示，美国人对他们的商业领导基本没有信心，但政客似乎没有受到影响。【54】布什总统的支持率明显下降，但还有很多人支持他。
【55】因此，总统只需要语言坚决就行了。仅仅这个举动就能说服一般的美国民众，他们认为总统对这件事很上心。【56】经济回暖，众怒平息，对变革的呼声会渐渐缓和下来。民主攻击将失败，影响深远的改革议案还没有成为法律，就被冲淡了。从政治学上讲，赌博有意义。【56】很遗憾，对美国的资本主义来讲，会错失一个绝好的机会。
52. 答案A
解析：本题是个细节题。根据题干，考生可锁定文章的第三段。段首讲到：这位企业家总统真的准备好与商业较量，严厉推行改革吗?虽然在纽约他紧咬牙关，语气坚决，但很有可能他不会推行改革。由此可以判断，他没有无意推行改革。
53. 答案B
解析：本题是个细节判断题。选项B出现在文章的第三段。段尾讲，如果因经济欺诈而坐牢，将使最长的刑期加倍，从5年增加到10年。由此可以判断商业欺诈最长的刑期是5年。
54. 答案C
解析：本题是个建立在细节上的推理题。选项C出现在文章的第四段。段末讲，Mr. Bush的支持率明显下降，但还有很多人支持他。这说明Mr. Bush的支持率虽有下降，但还是很高。
55. 答案D
解析：本题是个推理题。文章的最后一段讲，随着经济回暖，对改革的呼声会越来越弱。但对美国的资本主义来讲，却错失了个好机会。从中可以看出，作者是很希望改革的，他是赞同改革的。
56. 答案A
解析：本题是个细节分析题。文章的最后一句话提到“将会错失绝好的机会”，这个机会往回指改革议案。所以A为正确选项。
Passage Two
57. D 细节题。文章第三段第一句指出，该工程是全国为数不多的
此类工程之一，所以排除A;还说它是政府投资l50万美元的示范工程的
一部分，而不是全部，故排除B;文章第四段提到屋顶花园可以降温，但
并没有否定传统降温方式的必要性，故排除C;由文章第九段阿伯特先生
所说的话可知，D正确。
58. A 细节题。由文章第五段可知，市政厅的屋顶有90年的历史，
即市政厅建于90年前，且是市中心最著名的建筑，所以A正确。第二段
第一句中的an unlikely spot否定了B项中的originally proper。根据第五段
可排除C，根据第十段not new可排除D。
59. B 推断题。由文章第七段可知，市政厅屋顶花园是精心建造而
成的，可以避免屋顶渗漏，或是在土、雨和植物相混合的重量之下坍
塌，由此可知，屋顶花园的设计充分考虑到了屋顶能承受的重量，所以
B正确。
60. C 细节题。由文章第九段可知，在市政厅大楼上修建屋顶花园
主要是为了让人们了解自己对环境的影响，所以C正确。虽然该段也提
到了laboratory，但指的是让人们了解自己对环境的影响的“实验室”，而并不是真正做实验的实验室，故排除D。
61. D 语义题。被考查词在句中用于修饰比较级hotter，分析句意可知，此处应表示强调，突出屋顶的温度要比街上的温度高出很多，选项中只有D(相当大地)最符合。A(一点)，B(实际上)，C(本质上地)均应排除。
Part V Cloze(15 minutes)
本文摘自2008年《美国时代周刊》7月10日科技版，标题为The Truth About Plastic，由环保主义者Jeanne Haegele如何在生活中发现无塑料制品的举动引申到对塑料制品的思考。
62. 介词搭配题。第一段开头提出问题：如果你知道哪儿能找到一种非塑料包装的洗发液，你能告诉Jeanne Haegele吗？接着引出去年9月，这位28岁的芝加哥居民决心不在日常生活中使用塑料制品。resolve to do sth. 决定做某事,recover和from搭配，重新获得…;remove… form 移开，免除…; retreat 撤退，退却，均不符合题意。
63. 本题缺少一个连接词构成介词+宾语形式，根据句意判断，这里是常见塑料制品化学物质对可能会对人体产生的影响，应用what。
64. 该题比较简单，根据上下文不难推断，这里是指塑料垃圾也会对环境产生危害。
65. 这里考查固定搭配。hop on 跳上…。
66. 根据前文，她跳上自行车去百货商店寻找不含塑料的商品。consist of sth.组成…; induce 诱导，引起；compose 构成，组成，与要表达的意义相反。
67. 根据文章和常识可推断出，不含塑料成分的商品很少，因此她几乎买不到不含塑料的制品。此外，句末的anything也提示前面要用一个否定含义的词语，因此选barely。
68. 和上句的bought对应，这里应该填purchase，“她没买到…，她确实买到了….”;pursue 继续，从事，追赶；preserve 保存，保护，维护； prescribe 开药方。
69. 考查only to结构。她买到了罐装的食品和盒装牛奶，却发现外包装也是含有塑料树脂的。only to 结果是，不料竟会，表转折。
70. 考查短语意义。be lined with给某物安衬里；做内衬；这里指罐装食品和盒装牛奶的包装内层是塑料树脂。
71. 考查固定搭配。on one’s way to…在…的途中。
72. 考查固定短语意义。end up in 以…告终；以…结束，尤指经历了一长段路程或过程。这里指垃圾2700万垃圾都被填埋在垃圾填埋场
里。
73. 词义辨析。这里举例说明20世纪60年代，塑料制品在美国人的日常生活中屡见不鲜，食品和水都采用塑料包装。wrap 包，缠绕；adopt 采取，接受；adapt 使适应，改变；trap 诱捕，使陷入困境。
74. 根据上下文意义，这里需要填写一个说明塑料制品的性质的副词。依次代入各选项，infinitely是可无限再利用，符合题意。
75. 跟上题一样，这里需要填入形容词说明塑料制品的性质。父母们担忧塑料制品有毒性，因此选toxic。
76. 本题有一定难度，词义辨析。家长们担忧塑料制品有毒，会从家庭用品进入孩子们的血液循环，household比family更地道合适。
77. 考查考生对上下文关系的理解。这里说Haegele不是唯一一个摈弃塑料制品的人，后半句递进，说明她甚至不是第一个写博客记录这种努力的人。
78. 根据上题的阐释，Haegele的行为只是一种努力，不是出于勤奋，也不是娱乐，也并没有取得一定的成就。因此选endeavor。
79. 考查固定搭配。根据全文意义可推断，塑料制品在我们的生活中如此普遍，要做到不使用塑料制品绝非易事，far from… 远非…。
80. 考查so…that固定搭配。本题为送分题，不做过多解释。
81. 考查固定短语搭配。come into contact with 接触到。
总之，今年六级的完型填空，涉及4处名词，1处介词，7处动词，1处形容词和5处连词,2个副词。有一定难度，第76题较难，其余部分只要在句子内部或者句子之间进行上下文逻辑比对或语法搭配，即可完成。词义辨析和短语搭配考查较多，因此，考生要特别注意六词汇的积累、掌握和运用。
Part VI Translation
82. You shouldn’t have run across the road without looking, you would have been knocked down by a car. (也许会被车撞到)
解析：本题考察虚拟语气。句子是与过去事实相反，因此用would have +过去分词，表虚拟语气。
83 .By no means does he regarded himself as an expert, (他把自己当成专家)although he knows a lot about the field.
解析：本题考察倒装和词组regard sb. as sth.(把…当作…)。介词短语 by no means 置于句首，构成部分倒装，因此把助动词does提前。
84 .He doesn’t appreciate the sacrifice his friends have made for him, however, he takes it for granted.(把他们所做的视作理所应当)
解析：本题考察词组take sth. for granted (把…当作理所当然)。同时，考生要注意句子后半句前是一个逗号，要加上一个连词and或者加
上however。
85.Janet told me that she would rather her mother not have interfered with her marriage.(不干涉她的婚姻)
解析：本题考察would rather have done sth, 表示过去事件，句子中told提示是过去发生的事，因此用would have interfered with。
86. To keep up with the expanding frontiers of scholarship. Edward Wilson found himself always searching for information on the internet. （经常上网查信息）
解析：本题考察了感官动词find+宾语+现在分词（作宾补），现在分词表主动。因此这里用searching。

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.

2018年英语六级考试试题及答案 PartⅠWriting 1.【题干】For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building trust between business and consumers. You can cite examples to illustrate your views. 150-200 words. 【答案】Without a doubt, a mutually-trusted relation between businesses and consumers is important for the two parties. First of all, though business is objective, cooperation is relatively subjective. Only when a consumer believe in what a businessman is selling, he or she could decide to buy something from the man. In reality, I have seen too many consumers purchase or refuse one commodity only because they like or dislike the salesman who they meet, especially when they are in a bad mood. Secondly, when one businessman consider that a customer trusts him, he would feel honored and satisfied thereby giving more preference to the customer. Naturally, when one businessman offers the best quality goods and the best prices to a customer, the customer has no excuse to refuse the businessman. Once such relation informed, both the two parties gain profit from it Hence, both businesses and consumers should work together to form a reciprocal relation. PartⅢReading Section A

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,
2016英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案（3） Passage One Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. Caught in a squeeze between the health needs of aging populations on one hand and the financial crisis on the other, governments everywhere are looking for ways to slow the growth in health-care spending. Increasingly, they are looking to the generic-drugs (普通药物) industry as a savior. In November Japan's finance ministry issued a report complaining that the country's use of generics was less than a third of that in America or Britain. In the same month Canada's competition watchdog criticized the country's pharmacies for failing to pass on the savings made possible by the use of generic drugs. That greed, it reckoned, costs taxpayers nearly C$1 billion a year. Then on November 28th the European Commission issued the preliminary results of its year-long probe into drug

Seven Ways to Save the World Forget the old idea that conserving energy is a form of self-denial—riding bicycles, dimming the lights,and taking fewer showers.These days conservation is all about efficiency: getting the same—or better—results from just a fraction of the energy.When a slump in business travel forced Ulrich Rǒmer to cut cost costs at his family-owned hotel in Germany,he replaced hundreds of the hotel’s wasteful light bulbs,getting the same light for80percent less power.He bought a new water boiler with a digitally controlled pump,and wrapped insulation around the pipes.Spending about€100,000on these and other improvements,he slashed his€90,000fuel and power bill by€60,000.As a bonus,the hotel’s lower energy needs have reduced its annual carbon emissions by more than200metric tons.“For us,saving energy has been very,very profitable,”he says.“And most importantly,we’re not giving up a single comfort for our guests.” Efficiency is also a great way to lower carbon emissions and help slow global warming.But the best argument for efficiency is its cost—or,more precisely,its profitability.That’s because
