A recurring criticism of the UK's university sector is its perceived weakness in translating new knowledge into new products concentrated: less than 25% of universities receive 75% of the research funding. These same universities are also the institutions producing the greatest share of PhD graduates, science citations, patents and licence income. The effect of policies generating long-term resource concentration has also created a distinctive set of universities which are research-led and commercially active. It seems clear that the concentration of research and commercialisation work creates differences between universities.
The core objective for universities which are research-led must be to maximise the impact of their research efforts. These universities should be generating the widest range of social, economic and environmental benefits. In return for the scale of investment, they should share their expertise in order to build greater confidence in the sector.
Part of the economic recovery of the UK will be driven by the next generation of research commercialisation spilling out of
4. What does the author suggest research-led universities do?
[A] Publicise their research to win international recognition.
[B] Fully utilise their research to benefit all sectors of society.
[C] Generously share their facilities with those short of funds.
的，不到25%的大学获得了75%的研究基金；第五段末句总结：很明显，在科研和商业化操作上的集中导致了大学好地发挥作用",也就是技术转让和研究生教育这两个方面。故答案为C。

At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad.

can do. Humanistic thinking helps us understand what we should do.
It is almost impossible to imagine our society without thinking of the extraordinary achievements of scientists and engineers in building our complicated world. But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values. We have always needed, and we still need, both.
1.In the early 20th century Americans believed science and technology could _______.
们可以推断出是选C选项。A和D选项比较容易排除。不选B选项，因为文章中"India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership." seem to 表明这几个国家只是有种趋势，但还没有have overtaken。

Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the dubious distinction by establishing paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn't benefits-as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.
1. What do we learn about paid family leave from the first paragraph?
[A] America is now the only developed country without the policy.
[B] It has now become a hot topic in the United States.
案，答案A中developed是wealthy的同义阐述。
2. 考霸解析：正确答案为[D]。由文章第二段可看出，美国商会和其他商业团体常常对于美国关于平衡工作与家庭不加之以社会责任的话，便是忽视良好教养所产生的社会效应……这里的collective responsibility指的就是一种社会责任，意指良好教养是一个需要全社会共同努力的事业，因为其带来的社会效应是巨大的。因此作者反对将养育孩子仅仅作为个人选择来看待。作者需要的是collective responsibility，因此答案选D，因为教养孩子是一种社会事业。该题是带概括性质的题。

2009年12月六级考试详细阅读理解第3题
Crippling health care bills, long emergency-room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily.
Primary care should be the backbone of any health care system. Countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost. The U.S. takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.
A recent study analyzed the providers who treat Medicare beneficiaries（老年医保受惠人）. The startling finding was that the average Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors-two primary care physicians and five specialists-in a given year. Contrary to popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you don't guarantee better care. In fact, studies show that increasing fragmentation of care results in a corresponding rise in cost and medical errors.
How did we let primary care slip so far? The key is how doctors are paid. Most physicians are paid whenever they [A] the inadequate training of physicians
[B] the declining number of doctors
[C] the shrinking primary care resources
[D] the ever-rising health care costs
2. We learn from the passage that people tend to believe that ______ .
[A] the more costly the medicine, the more effective the cure
[B] seeing more doctors may result in more diagnostic errors
[C] visiting doctors on a regular basis ensures good health
[D] the more doctors taking care of a patient, the better
3. Faced with the government threats to cut reimbursements indiscriminately, primary care physicians have to ______ .
[A] increase their income by working overtime
[B] improve their expertise and service
[C] make various deals with specialists
[D] see more patients at the expense of quality
4. Why do many new medical graduates refuse to choose primary care as their career?
[A] They find the need for primary care declining.
[C] Recruit more medical students by offering them loans.
[D] Reduce the tuition of students who choose primary care as their major.
5.考霸解析：正确答案为[A] 。本题考察作者对改善医疗现状的建议。文章在第七段提问：How to fix this problem? 第八段给出了一系列答案。此处所提及的"this problem"就是指美国初级护理业的衰退。由该段最后一句中的reconciling the marked disparity between specialist and primary care physician salaries 可知A项"消除专家医生和普通医生的薪水
差距"为解决措施之一。

Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use.

[D] the decrease of biodiversity
3. What does the author think of traditional farming practices?
[A] They have remained the same over the centuries.
确。
4.考霸解析：正确答案为[A] 。根据题干关键词agriculture,21st century定位到原文第五段第一、二句。21世纪的农业将与20世纪的农业大相径庭，并引发人们的深刻思考。21世纪的农业既然要与20世纪的农业大不一样，那就必须经过根本性的变化。故A项正确。
5.考霸解析：正确答案为[D] 。本题考查文章的主旨大意。文章在最后一段指出，意识到农业可持续发展不仅指可持续的粮食产量，这一点至关重要，可见作者旨在督促人们思考农业可持续发展的真正内涵。故D项正确。
2007年6月六级考试详细阅读理解第2题
You hear the refrain all the time: the U.S. economy looks good statistically, but it doesn't feel good. Why doesn't ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Affluent (富裕的) Society by John Kenneth Galbraith, who died recently at 97.
The Affluent Society is a modern classic because it helped define a new moment in the human condition. For most of history, "hunger, sickness, and cold" threatened nearly everyone, Galbraith wrote. "Poverty was found everywhere in that world. Obviously it is not of ours." After World War II, the dread of another Great Depression gave way to an economic boom. In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.
To Galbraith, materialism had gone mad and would breed discontent. Through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn't really want or need. Because so much spending was artificial, it would be unfulfilling. Meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people instinctively-and wrongly-labeled government only as "a necessary evil."
It's often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving rich-overpaid chief executives, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most people's incomes are [D] What lies behind an economic boom.
2.According to Galbraith, people feel discontented because ________.
[A] public spending hasn't been cut down as expected
[B] the government has proved to be a necessary evil
[C] they are in fear of another Great Depression
[D] materialism has run wild in modern society
3.Why do people feel squeezed when their average income rises considerably?
[A] Their material pursuits have gone far ahead of their earnings.
[B] Their purchasing power has dropped markedly with inflation.
[C] The distribution of wealth is uneven between the r5ich and the poor.
[D] Health care and educational cost have somehow gone out of control.
4.What does Louis Uchitelle mean by "the disposable American" (Line 3, Para. 5)?
[A] Those who see job stability as part of their living standard.
"一次性的美国人"，言外之意就是人们不再有稳定的工作。故D项符合题意。
5.考霸解析：正确答案为[C] 根据题干关键词affluence，American society定位到原文倒数第三段最后一句话Unfortunately, affluence also creates new complaints and contradictions.由此可知，财富带来了新的抱怨和矛盾。题干中的brought to与文中的creats同义，C项中的conflict与文中的contradiction同义，意为“矛盾”。
2007年6月六级考试详细阅读理解第3题
The use of deferential (敬重的) language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman, which dominates conservative gender norms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background, subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; she "treads softly (谨言慎行)in the world," elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form.
Nowadays, it is commonly observed that young women are not conforming to the feminine linguistic (语言的) ideal. They are using fewer of the very deferential "women's" forms, and even using the few strong forms that are known as "men's." This, of course, attracts considerable attention and has led to an outcry in the Japanese media against the defeminization of women's language. Indeed, we didn't hear about "men's language" until people began to respond to girls' appropriation of forms normally reserved for boys and men. There is considerable sentiment about the "corruption" of women's language-which of course is viewed as part of the loss of feminine ideals and morality-and this sentiment is crystallized by
[C] They confuse male and female forms of language.
[D] They employ very strong linguistic expressions.
3.How do some people react to women's appropriation of men's language forms as reported in the Japanese media?
[A] They call for a campaign to stop the defeminization.
[B] The see it as an expression of women's sentiment.
[C] They accept it as a modern trend.
[D] They express strong disapproval.
4.According to Yoshiko Matsumoto, the linguistic behavior observed in today's young women ________.
[A] may lead to changes in social relations
[B] has been true of all past generations
[C] is viewed as a sign of their maturity
[D] is a result of rapid social progress
5.The author believes that the use of assertive language by young Japanese women is ________.
[A] a sure sign of their defeminization and maturation
[B] an indication of their defiance against social change
身上发现的语言行为现象是指年轻女子可能从来不像年长的妇女一样使用那么多高度尊敬的用语，而这一现象可能引起社会关系的变化。
5.考霸解析：正确答案为[C]。根据题干关键词assertive language, young Japanese women定位到原文最后一段第四句：Katsue Reynolds has argued that girls nowadays are using more assertive language strategies in order to be able to compete with in schools and out,作者通过Katsue Reynolds表达自己的观点，即：年轻女性越来越少使用敬语是她们与男性竞争的一个策略。
2019年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案：Passage One答案及解析 Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”, and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the fut ure of intelligence as “crucial to the future of our civilization and our species.” Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI) at Cambridge University, a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of the open-ended questions raised by the rapid pace of development in AI research. “We spend a great deal of time studying history,” Hawking said, “which, let’s face it, is mostly the history of stupidity. So it’s a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence.” While the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI, raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a will of its own, he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring. “The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge,” he said. “We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI. Perhaps with the tools of this new

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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 Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may be the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch (键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向……透露) the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (耍弄) the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants,

英语六级阅读真题 1.1990年 A．Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the “Second Industrial Revolution”. Labour?s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards. To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignment. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It is possible, however, that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working time. 21. Though labour worries about the effect of automation, it does not doubt that ________. A) automation will eventually prevent unemployment B) automation will help workers acquire new skills C) automation will eventually benefit the workers no less that the employers D) automation is a trend which cannot be stopped 22. The idea of the “improvement factor” (Line 6, Para. 3) probably implies that ________. A) wages should be paid on the basis of length of service B) the benefit of increased production and lower costs should be shared by workers C) supplementary unemployment benefit plans should be promoted
2008年6月21日英语六级真题及答案Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No, you’re not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8. The once all-powerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar. The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It’s also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy-from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami-for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico-as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while
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.

Into the Unknown The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope? Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable. For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare. Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more is known about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied. International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports. Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATO summits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensions and health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year.
