The poll by the China Youth Daily 26 has highlighted the apparent 27 over the country's widening income gap. Nearly 8,000 people filled in online 28 last week, and when asked to use three words to describe the society's rich, the top 29 were "extravagant", "greedy" and "corrupt". About 57 percent of those 30 said that "extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by "greedy". 31 , despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people should be "socially 32 ". Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being "smart". Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, 33 speak up for the poor but were 34 to take action and actually do something for them. The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi, who said a couple of days ago that he was speaking for the rich and working for the poor. A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient-an indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004. An earlier Chinese Academy of Social Sciences report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent in the country share less than 2 percent of the total wealth. The country's income gap is close to that of Latin America, the report which 35 in January said. 第26题答案为( )。

2013年12月大学英语六级真题试卷（一）(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. “ You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：The Way to Happiness When it comes to the topic of happiness, everybody has his own interpretation. But an inspiring idea goes that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the nature of happiness. Happiness will be achieved only when we show great courage to confront problems and develop the capacity to solve them. There is no denying that we will encounter many problems in our life, but that doesn’t mean we are deprived of happiness. Many people have set great examples for us to follow: Nelson Mandela was sentenced to 27 years in prison, but he was optimistic and finally became successful in fighting against racial segregation. Steve Jobs was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the world. In our lives, no one is definitely immune to problems, but we may achieve happiness through striving. Therefore, it is of great necessity to equip ourselves with the ability to cope with problems. To be more specific, we need to be cooperative, persistent and decisive, and have a positive attitude toward problems. Only when we are proficient in dealing with problems can we fully enjoy happiness and live a merry life.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: What a wonderful performance!

2013年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第1套）Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with asingle line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Among the government’s most interesting reports is one that estimates what parents spend ontheir children. Not surprisingly, the costs are steep. For a middle-class, husband-and-wife family(average pretax income in 2009: $76,250), spending per child is about $12,000 a year. With.inflation the family’s spending on a child will total $286,050 by age 17The dry statistics ought to inform the ongoing deficit debate, because a budget is not just acatalog of programs and taxes. It reflects a society’s priorities and values. Our society does not despite rhetoric(说辞) to the contrary—put much value on raising children. Present budgetpolicies tax parents heavily to support the elderly. Meanwhile, tax breaks for children are modest.If deficit reduction aggravates these biases, more Americans may choose not to have children or tohave fewer children. Down that path lies economic decline.Societies that cannot replace their populations discourage investment and innovation. Theyhave stagnant (萧条的) or shrinking markets for goods and services. With older populations,theyresist change. To stabilize its population—discounting immigration—women must have an2.0.Many countries with struggling economiesaverage of two children. That’s a fertility rate ofare well below that.shaped by culture, religion, Though having a child is a deeply personal decision, it’sa good answer” asto why fertility varies amongeconomics, and government policy. “No one hascountries, says sociologist Andrew Cherlin of The Johns Hopkins University. Eroding religiousbelief in Europe may partly explain lowered birthrates. In Japan young women may be rebellingisolated lives of child rearing. General optimism and pessimism count.against their mothers’　Hopefulness fueled Ameri ca’s baby boom. After the Soviet Union’s collapse, says Cherlin,Russiaand Eastern Europe.“anxiety for the future” depressed birthrates inIn poor societies, people have children to improve their economic well-being by increasingthe number of family workers and providing supports for parents in their old age. In wealthysocieties, the logic often reverses. Government now supports the elderly, diminishing the need forchildren. By some studies, the safety nets for retirees have reduced fertility rates by 0.5 children inthe United States and almost 1.0 in Western Europe, reports economist Robert Stein in the journalNational Affairs. Similarly, some couples don’t have children because they don’t want to sacrificetheir own lifestyles to the lime and expense of a family.Young Americans already face a bleak labor market that cannot instill (注入) confidenceabout having children. Piling on higher t axes won’t help, “If higher taxes make it more expensiveto raise children,” says Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute, “peopletwice about having another child.” That seems like common sense, despite the multiple influences on becoming parents.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Although these educators may havemisunderstandings about the process of language acquisition. Educators may fear that childrenIn fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an (41) asset and even a necessity in many areas. It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given primarily to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since childrenadvising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languagesalready burdened by their home situations.If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking familiesimportant or valued.Just over a decade into the 21st century, women’s progress can be celebrated across a range of fields. They hold the highest political offices from Thailand to Brazil, Costa Rica to Australia.A woman holds the top spot at the International Monetary Fund; another won the Nobel Prize in economics. Self-made billionaires in Beijing, tech innovators in Silicon Valley, pioneering justices in Ghana—in these and countless other areas, women are leaving their mark.But hold the applause. In Saudi Arabia, women aren’t allowed to drive. In Pakistan, 1,000women die in honor killings every year. In the developed world, women lag behind men in pay and political power. The poverty rate among women in the U.S. rose to 14.5% last year.To measure the state of women’s progress. Newsweek ranked 165 countries, looking at five areas that affect women’s lives; treatment under th e law, workforce participation, political power, and access to education and health care. Analyzing data from the United Nations and the WorldEconomic Forum, among others, and consulting with experts and academics, we measured 28 factors to come up with our rankings.Countries with the highest scores tend to be clustered in the West, where gender discrimination is against the law, and equal rights are constitutionally enshrined(神圣化). But there were some surprises. Some otherwise high-ranking countries had relatively low scores for political representation. Canada ranked third overall but 26th in power, behind countries such as Cuba and Burundi. Does this suggest that a woman in a nation’s top office translates to better lives for women in general? Not exact ly.“Trying to quantify or measure the impact of women in politics is hard because in very few countries have there been enough women in politics to make a difference,”says Anne-Marie Goetz, peace and security adviser for U.N. Women.Of course, no index can account for everything. Declaring that one country is better than another in the way that it treats more than half its citizens means relying on broad strokes and generalities. Some things simply can’t be measured. And cross-cultural comparisons can t account for difference of opinion.Certain conclusions are nonetheless clear. For one thing, our index backs up a simple but profound statement made by Hillary Clinton at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. “When we liberate the economic pot ential of women, we elevate the economic performance of communities, nations, and the world,” she said. “There’s a stimulative effect that kicks in when women have greater access to jobs and the economic lives of our countries: Greater political stability.

TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. “ You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：The Way to Happiness When it comes to the topic of happiness, everybody has his own interpretation. But an inspiring idea goes that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the nature of happiness. Happiness will be achieved only when we show great courage to confront problems and develop the capacity to solve them. There is no denying that we will encounter many problems in our life, but that doesn’t mean we are deprived of happiness. Many people have set great examples for us to follow: Nelson Mandela was sentenced to 27 years in prison, but he was optimistic and finally became successful in fighting against racial segregation. Steve Jobs was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the world. In our lives, no one is definitely immune to problems, but we may achieve happiness through striving. Therefore, it is of great necessity to equip ourselves with the ability to cope with problems. To be more specific, we need to be cooperative, persistent and decisive, and have a positive attitude toward problems. Only when we are proficient in dealing with problems can we fully enjoy happiness and live a merry life.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: What a wonderful performance!
