Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.
Muslim headscarves and other religious symbols are almost certain to be banned from French schools and public buildings after a special commission told the government recently that legislation was needed to defend the secular nature of the state.
The 20-member group, appointed by President Jacques Chirac and headed by the national ombudsman, Bernard Stasi, recommended that all “conspicuous” signs of religious belief — including Jewish skullcaps, oversized Christian crosses
and Islamic headscarves — be outlawed in state-approved schools.
The report, compiled after six months of s tudy, also recommended that the laws should include a clause requiring “the strict neutrality of all public service employees”. Some Muslim women had reportedly been insisting that their husbands accompany them at all times in hospital and would accept only female doctors. The report said the legislation must remind all health service users that “it is forbidden to reject a healthcare worker, and that the rules of hygiene must be respected”. I n a gesture of respect to “all spiritual options”, the report sai d the Jewish and Muslim holy days of Yom Kippur and Eid should be made official school holidays, and companies should consider ways of allowing their employees to take off the religious holiday of their choice.
Mr Chirac said that he favoured a law prote cting France's secular republic, “I will be guided by republican principles and the demands of national unity and the solidarity of the French people,” he said. The question of whether a “secularism law” i s desirable or necessary— particularly to deal with the increasing number of Muslim girls wanting to wear headscarves at school — may seem abstract, or even absurd, to those used to British or US notions of multiculturalism. In France, where secularism is a constitutional guarantee and everyone, in the eyes of the republic, is supposed to be equally French regardless of ethnic or religious differences, the issue has dominated media and political debate for several months. Mr Stasi said the proposed law aimed to preserve constitutional secularism and counter “forces trying to destabilise the republic”, a clear reference to Islamic fundamentalism. But he stressed that the law was not directed at the mainly moderate Muslim community of 5 million. “Muslims must understand that secularism is a chance for Islam,” Mr Stasi said. “Secularism is the separation of church and state, but it is also the respect of differences.”
The main teachers' union, said that the proposals did not go far enough to promote secularism in schools.
56. The Stasi commission has recommended that the wearing of headscarves in French schools be banned because_________.
A. they are conspicuous
B. they represent forces trying to destabilise the republic
C. the commission wants to defend the secular nature of the French state
D. they are religious symbols
57. The commission recommended a clause requiring the strict neutrality of all public service
employees because__________.
A. they wanted to remind people that it is forbidden to reject a healthcare worker
B. some people only accept female doctors
C. it took six months to compile the report
D. some people accept female and male doctors
58. The commission recommended the introduction of new public holidays________.
A. in order to allow workers to choose their holidays
B. as a gesture of respect to all religions
C. in order to ensure the strict neutrality of all public service employees
D. in order to give the doctors more opportunities to work
59. The constitutional guarantee of secularism under French law means that________.
A. people cannot wear headscarves to school
B. people can wear headscarves to school
C. the issue has dominated media and political debate for several months
D. everyone is regarded as equally French whatever their religion or ethnic background
60. The main teachers' union criticised the proposals because they________.
A. were too radical
B. were not radical enough
C. promoted secularism in schools
D. were too unfair
Section B Short Answer Questions (20 points)
Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or
unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.
The changing climate over the next 50 years is expected to drive a quarter of land animals and plants into extinction, according to the first comprehensive study into the effect of higher temperatures on the natural world. The scale of the disaster facing the planet shocked those involved in the research. They estimate that more than 1 million species will be lost by 2050.
The results are described as “terrifying” by Chris Thomas, professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, who is lead author of the research from four continents published last week in the magazine Nature. Much of that loss — more than one in 10 of all plants and animals — is already irreversible because of the extra global warming gases already discharged into the atmosphere. But the scientists say that action to curb greenhouse gases now could save many more. It took two years for the largest global collaboration of experts to make the first major assessment of the effect of climate change on six biologically rich regions of the world taking in 20% of the land surface. The research in Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa, showed that species living in mountainous areas had a greater chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler.
In South Africa, major conservation areas such as Kruger National Park risked losing up to 60% of the species under their protection, while of 300 South African plant species studied, more than one third were expected to die out, including the national flower, the King Protea.
In the Cerrado region of Brazil which covers one fifth of the country, a study of 163 tree species showed that up to 70 would become extinct. Many of the plants and trees that exist in this savannah occur nowhere else in the world. In Europe, the continent least affected by climate change, survival rates were better.
Studies in Mexico's Chihuahuan desert confirmed that on flatter land extinction was more likely because a small change in climate would require migrations over vast distances for survival. One third of 1,870 species examined would be in trouble.
So many species are already destined for extinction because it takes at least 25 years for the greenhouse effect — or the trapping of the sun's rays by the carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — to have its full effect on the planet. The continuous discharge of more greenhouse gases, particularly by the United States and European nations, is making matters worse. The research says that, if mankind continues to burn oil, coal and gas at the current rate, up to one third of all life forms will be doomed by 2050.
Questions:
61. How many species are expected to be lost by the year 2050?
62. How much of the land surface of the world does the report on global warming cover?
63. How many species of South African plants are expected to die out?
64. How long does it take for the greenhouse effect to have its full effect on the planet?
65. Which human activities can produce greenhouse gases?
Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.
South Korean and American scientists have cloned human embryos and successfully extracted stem cells from one of them. The research opens the way for once-undreamed of treatments for long-term diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. It also reignites the debate about human cloning. The team used 242 eggs from 16 women to clone 30 blastocysts — the tiny ball of cells that become an embryo. Stem cells are the agents that turn a single fertilised egg into up to 10 trillion cells in just nine months' gestation.
Scientists around the world have cloned sheep, mice, rats, rabbits, horses, and even a mule. But despite dramatic yet unsupported claims from European fertility clinics, primates and humans were thought to be almost impossible to clone.
The Korean and US scientists sucked the original DNA out of the egg, and substituted it with chromosomes from an adult cell. Then they “tricked” the egg into thinking it had been fertilised. “Nobody has cloned a human here,” said Donald Kennedy, a biologist and editor in chief of Science.
The White House responded to the news of the breakthrough with a reminder that President George Bush is opposed to stem cell research. “The age of human cloning has apparently arrived: today cloned blastocysts for research, tomorrow cloned blastocysts for baby-making,” said Leon Kass, chairman of the president's council on bioethics. Last week's announcement was the culmination of years of research into the potential benefits of therapeutic cloning. But for those benefits to be realised, researchers must now work out how to turn the cells into replacement human tissue needed to treat disease.
In the long term, some scientists believe it could be possible to grow entire organs. Linda Kelly of the Parkinson's Disease Society in the UK said: “This announcement is clearly a milestone in medical research.” But the pressure group Human Genetics Alert warned that researchers had given a big boost to those who want to make cloned babies. Such fears arise because the initial steps in therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning are identical.
Questions:
66. The extraction of stem cells from cloned human embryos could lead to________.
67. Previously people thought that it was impossible to clone________.
68. The original DNA was substituted by________.
69. Opponents of stem cell research believe that it could lead to________.
70. Some people regard this research as________.
Section C True or False (10 points)
Directions: In this section, there is 1 passage with 10 statements. Read the passage and decide which of the statements at the end of the passage are true and which are false. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 71—80 are based on the following passage.
A recent survey of women MPs in the British Parliament shows that many male MPs have very old-fashioned views about women. The survey was based on interviews with 83 current and recent MPs and it contains some frank comments about certain male MPs making sexist remarks and gestures as women try to speak in the House of Commons, the lower chamber of the British Parliament.
When Gillian Shephard arrived in the House of Commons as a new Tory (Conservative) MP in 1987 she was confused when she and her fellow women MPs were called Betty. “There was a Conservative MP who called us all Betty,” she says, “and when I said, …Look, you know my name isn't Betty?, he said, …Ah, but you're all the same, so I call you all Betty, it's easier?.”
Barbara Follett says: “I remember some Conservatives making sexist comments and gestures every time a Labour woman got up to speak.” When a large number of female MPs — 120 in all — arrived in the House of Commons after Tony Blair's election victory in 1997, Labour's Claire Curtis-Thomas thought that the red ribbons tied to coat hangers were for Aids day. Later she learnt they were for MPs to hang up their swords.
Another new MP, Yvette Cooper, found it hard to make Commons officials believe that she was not a researcher or a secretary. Jackie Ballard, a Liberal Democrat who left parliament at the last election, remembers a well-known Tory MP who constantly made sexist remarks, “maybe about someone's legs or someone being a lesbian ... if he worked for me he'd probably be sacked”. The same MP once said, while drunk in the House of Commons, that he'd like to “make love to” a nearby woman.
The interviews show how even after the arrival of the “Blair babes”, female MPs were expected to concentrate on “women's issues”, such as health and education. Several complain of the humiliation they experienced when they entered traditionally male territory. When Labour's Dari Taylor resigned from the defence committee — one of only two women on it —the chairman, Bruce George, stood up and said: “Well, I have to make this announcement: one down, one to go.”
Many women MPs were astonished by the negative reactions of their male colleagues. Even male MPs who publicly supported sexual equality were furious when they saw women getting promotion. One current member of the government was asked, when she was promoted: “Oh, you've had a very fast rise, who have you been sleeping with?” Male MPs and officials seemed unwilling to accept the new Labour women, many of them in their 30s and 40s. Some simply could not believe that such young women could be members of parliament.
Many female MPs say that things have improved since the introduction of “family friendly” hours. The old male drinking culture is gradually disappearing. But it isn't perfect yet. Sarah Teather, the new Liberal Democrat MP, says: “Lots of peopl e say it's similar to an old boys' club. I've always said, to me it feels rather more like a teenage public school — you know, a public school full of teenage boys.”
The thing that makes women MPs furious is that their achievements are not recognised. They say that they have brought a new feminised agenda to British politics, in particular, the fact that childcare is now at the top of the domestic agenda. They mention several other successful policies too, in particular parental leave.
Statements:
71. All British male MPs have old-fashioned views about women.
72. All the male MPs call the women MPs “Betty”.
73. The red ribbons were to mark Aids day.
74. Commons officials thought one woman MP was a secretary or a researcher.
75. Health and education are traditional male territory.
76. Many male MPs reacted negatively when women got promotion.
77. The old male drinking culture is rapidly disappearing.
78. Many women MPs feel their achievements are recognised.
79. 83 MPs were interviewed in this survey.
80. 125 women MPs arrived in Parliament in 1997.
Part VI Cloze-Test (10 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: There are 10 blanks in the passage. For each blank, the first letter of the word has been given. Read the passage below and think of the word which best fits each blank. Use only one word in each blank. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.
In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words w___81___which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we l___82___, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They c___83___the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who s___84___the language. Such words may be called “popular”, since they belong to the people at large and are not the exclusive p___85___of a limited class.
On the other hand, our language i___86___a multitude of words which are comparatively
s___87___used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person,
but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our f___88___acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, b___89___from books that we read, lectures that we hear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style appropriately elevated above th e habitual l___90___of everyday life. Such words are called “learned”, and the distinction between them and “popular” words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
Part VII Translation (15 minutes, 20 points)
Section A English-Chinese Translation (10 points)
Directions: Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.
Recently in four weeks, we can listen to the word “tsunami”. The whole world put attention to the South Asia where the tsunami happened. (91) Before, musicians produced a “sonic tsunami”, Wall Street analysts foresaw “tsunamis” of bad earnings news and Japanese restaurants served “tsunami” sushi rolls. The word was used in dozens of different contexts, but now it likely will appear with just one, tragic, meaning.
(92) Because of the South Asian tsunami disaster that has killed more than 150,000 people, the word assumes a solely solemn use, much the way “Ground Zero”, for the site of the World Trade Center, had its meaning changed from “starting point” to the cent er of the Sept. 11 tragedy, said Paul Payack, head of Global Language Monitor. Payack said that since the Dec.
26 tsunami, the Japanese word has appeared more than 18.5 million times and been the subject of 88,000 articles in major media.
(93) “Before Se pt. 11, 2001, the term ground zero was a business cliche meaning starting point, especially when beginning
a project over again as in …going back to ground zero.? That term now represents what many consider to be hallowed ground and its old usage is rarely employed,” he said.
(94) “In the same manner, we envision that the word tsunami will be the subject of considerable discretion before being used in anything other than a most serious manner,” he said. Payack said thousands of sports teams around the world use tsunami into their names, like the Tsunami Aquatics Swim team of Livermore, California.

2015大学英语六级真题答案完整版 As is known to all, the success of a person needs the right guidance and interest is undoubtedly the best teacher. Even Albert Einstein, the world-renowned physicist, said, I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. So it is high time that people explore and cultivate their own interest. Passionate curiosity can be developed in one s childhood or in one s sixties, but once it is ignited, it can change people s way of study, work and living. On the one hand, interest makes one s pursuit of knowledge successful and enjoyable. For instance, the pianist Langlang, who plays piano with great love, is awarded a lot of prizes at home and abroad. On the other hand, curiosity helps to resolve difficulties constantly. A worker with curiosity is more likely to dig into the essence of the problem and thus accomplish more creative tasks. I would like to end up with the famous educator Herbert Spencer s words which I can t agree more, If the interest and enthusiasm among us are cultivated smoothly in the first place, most people will become talents or geniuses. 阅读答案 选词填空答案 36. J) philosophy 37. I) mirrors 38. B) constrained 39. D) explore 40. L) sneaking 41. K) potential 42. O) violent 43. F) interacting 44. A) assess 45. N) undermines 长篇阅读

2016年全国大学生英语能力竞赛攻略 学长分享英语竞赛技巧： 知己知彼百战不殆”，要想在全国大学生英语竞赛中取得好成绩，平时的积累是基础，而考前对考试的研究和分析以及练习则是升华。近几年来英语竞赛也在不断调整中。对我们来说，最重要的参考资料就是当年的竞赛样题，和官网的考试说明文件，从中我们可以了解到考试的题型、分值、时间分配、难度和新变化。只有这样我们才能对症下药，合理分配考试时间，获得最好的成绩。其实考试，一言以蔽之，就是尽量的规定时间内拿到最高的分数，分数越高，就意味着你越成功。由于每年试题结构、题型等都会有所变化，下面就以2010年的英语竞赛初赛试题为例，分析一下时间安排。今年初赛试题共分为七部分，时间120分钟，满分150分。七部分分别为听力、词汇与语法结构、完形填空、阅读理解、翻译、智力测试和写作。下面就分别进行分析。 第一部分是听力，由四部分组成，第一部分是五篇短对话，然后是两篇长对话，第三部分是五篇短新闻，第四部分是听写式填空。总分是30分，总的来说，听力的难度不算很大，应该是介于四、六级之间，大部分都可以直接从对话中找到原句和答案。但是还是有一定难度的。首先，前20道选择题都只读一遍，这和一般的考试不同，所以对选手就提出了更高的要求，必须从一开始就高度集中注意力，才能不遗漏重要信息。此外，听写式填空也是对基本知识的一个考查，经常有同学听到了却不会写，这需要我们打好自己的基础。这一部分要力争拿到20分以上。 第二部分是词汇与语法结构，这也是对“双基”知识的一个考查，可以说基本上是考查基本功的，当然我们也要注意，这其中对话类的应用题目也呈逐年上升的趋势。总分15分，官方建议完成时间是十分钟。这一部分要力争拿到10分以上。 第三部分是完形填空，也是我认为全卷除了智力测试以外最难的题目，题型包括根据上下文填空、根据给出的首字母填空、根据给出的单词的适当形式填空。分值是十分，官方建议完成时间是10分钟。这题不仅考查你的基本词汇语法知识，也考查你对文章的理解和把握。可以说是阅读+词汇的结合。要拿高分很难，但是其实还是有一些分好拿的，这一部分我们要力争拿到4分以上。 第四部分是阅读理解，总分40分，官方建议完成时间是25分钟。这是全卷分值最大的一道大题，也是时间最紧的。我估计绝大多数同学在25分钟内都没办法全部完成（我也很勉强）。这一部分我觉得最重要的还是把握文章的开头和结尾，了解主旨，然后根据题目去快速定位，因为这里的题目大部分都是在原文可以找到答案的。这一部分阅读量大、题型多样（包括选择题、问答题、是/否/未提及题，摘抄题、填空题等）、也是对同学英语应用能力的有力考查，还是要熟能生巧，在平时多加练习，力争达到又对又快的境界，这一部分要力争拿到25分以上。 第五部分是翻译，包括英译汉和汉译英两部分。共20分，官方建议完成时间是15分钟。这一部分可以说是全卷最简单的题型，考查的内容都没超过四级甚至是平常练习的难度，对英译汉，还是要花点时间看看文章开头和结尾，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，很多翻译都要根据上下文进行，才能更加的到位。有时在翻译中遇到生词，也可以根据上下文进行推断。比如今年的汉译英试题中多次提到“dropout”这个单词，我考试时也忘了这是什么意思，最后还是通过文章最后
