全文翻译及命题分析
也许是时候让农场主们歇歇脚了，因为机器人正被用来监测庄稼生长、拔除杂草，甚至放牧。商业种植面积及其广袤，需要数千工时来耕作。澳大利亚最偏远的苏坡杰克·唐斯（Suplejack Downs）牛场就是一个典型的例子。它位于北部地区，绵延4000平方公里，距离最近的主要城市艾丽丝泉（Alice Springs）逾13个小时车程。
这些大规模农场极度偏远，往往无人照料，每年只能监测一两次，这意味着如果牲畜生病或需要援助，农场主可能需要很长时间才能发现。
然而，机器人正前来救援。
机器人目前正在威尔士进行为期两年的试验，该试验将训练“农场机器人”放牧，监测牲畜的健康，并确保有足够的牧场供它们放牧。这些机器人配备了许多传感器来识别环境、牛群以及食物的状况，使用热传感器和视觉传感器来探测体温的变化。
悉尼大学的萨拉·苏卡黎(Salah Sukarieh)将在新南威尔士州中部的几个农场进行试验，他说：“你还可以用颜色、质地和形状传感器检测地面上的牧草质量。”
在试验期间，将对机器人的算法和技术性细节进行微调，使其更适合生病的牲畜，并确保它能够安全地绕过树木、淤泥、沼泽和丘陵等潜在障碍区。
苏卡黎说:“我们希望改善牲畜的健康品质，并让农场主更容易维护牲畜在广阔的草场上信步由缰的壮观景象。”
机器人并不局限于放牧和监控牲畜，他们还被用来统计单果数量，检查农作物，甚至拔除杂草。
许多机器人配备有高科技传感器和复杂的学习算法，以避免它们在与人类并肩工作时伤害人类。机器人还知晓最高效、最安全的通行方式，使工程师和农场主能够分析和更好地优化机器人的属性和任务，并提供现场直播，实时反馈农场上正在发生的事情。
当然，农业工人担心其岗位被取代。然而，由于劳动力空缺的不断加剧，大规模生产难以维持，正是农场主们在力推技术进步。
从追踪牲畜、拔除杂草到监测个果状况，机器人以各种方式为农场主提供了重大实惠。随着机器人高效地承担越来越多的农业工作，未来的农场将体验更高程度的“自治”。
【命题分析】本篇阅读理解并没有回避新闻热点——人工智能（AI）。从题型上看，体现了多年来四级考试仔细阅读以细节题和推理判断题为主的特点。从难度上看，难易适中。

【干扰分析】本题为细节题，向导词定位结合顺序法，很容易找到该题在文中对应的阅读点。其它三个干扰项在文中没有提及，很容易排除。
Passage Two
全文翻译及命题分析
公众必须能够理解科学的基本知识，才能做出明智的决策。科学家与公众之间沟通不畅的负面后果最引人注目的例子可能是气候变化问题。该问题涉及因素
众多，其中最重要的是向公众传递基本气候数据的失败，造成了对科学家及其研究的普遍怀疑和误解。
气候变化问题还表明，公众对科学（或缺乏科学）的接受和理解如何影响政府在管理、科学政策和研究资助方面的决策。
然而，与广大受众进行有效沟通的重要性并不局限于气候变化等热点问题。对于具有社会性的神经科学问题，如特定行为的遗传基础、干细胞治疗神经退行性疾病的治疗潜力，或者动物模型的使用，这也是至关重要的，在这些领域，公众对科学的理解也可以影响政策和资助决策。此外，随着个人基因组测序的不断进步和个性化药物的出现，更多的普通民众将需要舒适地分析复杂的科学信息，以做出直接影响他们生活质量的决策。
科学新闻是公众进行科学信息普及的主要渠道。关于科学家和媒体之间的关系如何能够有效地将科学进步传递给公众，已有很多著述。优秀的科学记者是在坚持科学准确性的同时，使广大受众能够接触到复杂话题的专家。
不幸的是，一些科学新闻可能过于简化和概括其主题材料，以至于所传达的基本信息是模糊不清，或者在最坏的情况下，明显是错误的。一个初级发现对人类健康的影响可能会被夸大，以至于公众认为几个月到几年时间就能找到奇迹般的疗效，而实际上这项研究的意义非常有限。
尽管科学家在向记者以及最终向公众传播信息方面发挥了积极作用，但是传播不力往往归咎于记者。我们认为，至少部分问题的症结并不在于科学家与媒体成员之间的互动。问题之所以存在，是因为：一方面，我们低估了科学家与各种受众之间有效沟通的难度；另一方面，大多数科学家没有接受科学传播方面的正式培训。
【命题分析】本篇阅读理解从题型上看主要以细节题为主，五题当中有四题是细节题。另外一题是推理判断题。总体来说难度适中。
【内容概要】要向公众普及科学家们的新发现并非易事。本文开篇指出了公众了解科学基本知识的重要意义，然后分析向公众普及科学信息方面存在的问题。科学新闻是公众进行科学信息普及的主要渠道，但问题的责任不能完全归咎于科学记者，科学家也需要提高他们的沟通技巧。
【试题详解】
does the example of climate change serve to show?
A)The importance of climate data is increasingly recognized.
B)Adequate government funding is vital to scientific research.
C)Government regulation helps the public understand science.
D)Common folks' scientific knowledge can sway policy making.
【题干译文】气候变化的例子说明了什么？
【选项译文】A.人们日益认识到气候数据的重要性。B.充足的政府资助对科学研究至关重要。C.政府监管有助于公众理解科学。D.普通民众的科学知识可以左右政策的制定。
【定位信息】利用题干中“example”以及“climate change”作向导词，结合顺序法定位，可以轻易找到该题在文中对应的阅读点在文章开头第一、二两个自然段。
【答案详解】答案是D。根据文中开头“The public must be able to understand the basics of science to make informed decisions”,即公众必须能够理解科学的基本知识，才能做出明智的决策。再结合第二自然段中“The issue of climate change also illustrates how the public acceptance and understanding of science (or the lack of it) can influence governmental decision-making with regard to regulation, science policy and research funding，”我们可以了解到：气候变化问题还表明，公众对科学的接受和理解如何影响政府在管理、科学政策和研究资助方面的决策。因此，普通民众的科学知识可以左右政策的制定。
【干扰分析】本题为细节题，定位信息明确。文章开头首先提出观点“The public must be able to understand the basics of science to make informed decisions”，然后用气候变化的典型例子来证明上述观点。因此，对具体例子的考察当然就离不开其所要证明的观点。明白这个道理，三个干扰项就不难排除。
should non-scientists do to ensure their quality of life?
A)Seek personalized medical assistance from doctors.
B)Acquire a basic understanding of medical science.
C)Have their individual genome sequenced.
D)Make informed use of animal models.
【题干译文】普通民众（non-scientists）应该做些什么来确保他们的生活质量？
【选项译文】A.向医生寻求个性化的医疗援助。B.获得对医学的基本了解。C.对他们的个体基因组进行测序。D.正确使用动物模型。
【定位信息】利用题干中“non-scientists”以及“quality of life”作向导词，可以轻易找到该题在文中对应的阅读点在文章开头第三自然段。
【答案详解】答案是D。根据第三自然段最后一句“Furthermore, with continuing advances in individual genome sequencing and the advent of personalized medicine, more non-scientists will need to be comfortable analyzing complex scientific information to make decisions that directly affect their quality of life，”我们可以了解到：随着个人基因组测序的不断进步和个性化药物的出现，更多的普通民众将需要舒适地分析复杂的科学信息，以做出直接影响他们生活质量的决策。简而言之，确保生活质量，普通民众需要分析复杂的科学信息，即获得对医学的基本了解。
【干扰分析】本题为细节题，定位信息明确。首先可以排除D选项，因为“animal models”出现在第三自然段第二句，非本题对应的阅读点。然后通过对阅读点长句的分析，可以继续排除A、C。A、C选项中“personalized medical”、“Have their individual genome sequenced”可以看作与第三自然段最后一句中的介词状语“with continuing advances in individual genome sequencing and the advent of personalized medicine”对应，但该状语意在交代普通民众需要分析复杂科学信息这一主要动作的时代背景或原因。民众需要分析复杂的科学信息，即获得对医学的基本了解才是该句要表达的核心信息。
is it important for scientists to build a good relationship with the media?
A)It helps them to effectively popularize new scientific information.
B)It enables the public to develop a positive attitude toward science.
C)It helps them to establish a more positive public image.
D)It enables them to apply their findings to public health.
【题干译文】为什么科学家与媒体建立良好的关系很重要？
【选项译文】A.这有助于他们有效地普及新的科学信息。B.这使公众能够对科学形成积极的态度。C.这有助于他们树立更积极的公众形象。D.这使他们能够将他们的发现应用于公共卫生。
【定位信息】利用题干中“scientists”以及“relationship with the media”作向导词，结合顺序法定位，不难找到该题与第四自然段中的第二、三句话对应。
【答案详解】答案是A。第四自然段中的第二句话谈到了科学家与媒体的关系问题。紧接着第三句话“Good science journalists are specialists in making complex topics accessible to a general audience, while adhering to scientific accuracy”，可译为：优秀的科学记者是在坚持科学准确性的同时，使广大受众能够接触到复杂话题的专家。因此，科学家们通过媒体中介将他们的发现传递给普通民众，这也就是科学家与媒体建立良好关系重要性的原因所在。
【干扰分析】本题为推理判断题。推理判断必须要在文中找到确切依据，好在定位信息明确，三个干扰项也就不难排除。
does the author say is the problem with science journalism?
A)It is keen on transmitting sensational information.
B)It tends to oversimplify people's health problems.
C)It may give inaccurate or distorted information to the public.
D)It may provide information open to different interpretations.【题干译文】作者说科学新闻的问题是什么？
【选项译文】A.它热衷于传播耸人听闻的信息。B.它倾向于过分简化人们的健康问题。C.它可能向公众提供不准确或歪曲的信息。D.它可能提供可作不同解释的信息。
【定位信息】利用题干中“science journalism”作向导词，结合顺序法定位，不难找到该题与第五自然段中的第一句话对应。
【答案详解】答案是C。根据第五自然段中的第一句话“Unfortunately, pieces of science journalism can also oversimplify and generalize their subject material to the point that the basic information conveyed is obscured or at worst, obviously wrong”，我们可以了解到：不幸的是，一些科学新闻可能过于简化和概括其主题材料，以至于所传达的基本信息是模糊不清，甚至是明显错误的。因此，科学新闻的问题在于它可能向公众提供不准确或歪曲的信息。
【干扰分析】本题为细节题，定位不难，干扰项迷惑度低，较容易排除。
should scientists do to impart their latest findings to the public more effectively?
A)Give training to science journalists.
B)Stimulate public interest in science.
C)Seek timely assistance from the media.
D)Improve their communication skills.
【题干译文】科学家们应该做些什么才能更有效地向公众传播他们的最新发现呢？
【选项译文】A.培训科学记者。B.激发公众对科学的兴趣。C.寻求媒体及时协助。
D.提高他们的沟通技巧。
【定位信息】利用顺序法定位，本题是该阅读理解最后一题，其对应的阅读点在一边情况下出现在文章结尾或靠后的位置。
【答案详解】答案是D。根据文章结尾的第一句话“We believe that at least part of the problem lies in places other than the interaction between scientists and members of the media, and exists because for one thing we underestimate how difficult it is for scientists to communicate effectively with a diversity of audiences, and for another most scientists do not receive formal training in science communication.”，我们可以得知：普及科学信息方面出现问题，其症结是沟通方面出了问题：一方面，我们低估了科学家与各种受众之间有效沟通的难度；另一方面，大多数科学家没有接受科学传播方面的正式培训。因此，科学家要向公众传播他们的最新发现，必须提高他们的沟通技巧。
【干扰分析】本题为细节题，定位以及文中对应阅读点的理解均不难，三个干扰项迷惑性也较小。
2016年12月CET6大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析【官方完整版】 Part I 写作Writing (30 minutes) Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation. We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination. In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off. 【参考译文】 众所周知创新意味着有创造力，独一无二和不同。事实上，今天我们已经很难想想一个没有创新的21世纪。 我们应该重视创新首先是因为创新精神可以让一个人完善自身，这样他才能具备见他人所未见的能力，未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步，才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外，我们也应该重视创新在经济发展方面的作用。在这个多变的时代，创新对于经济增长就像水对于鱼一样重要。换言之，如果我们以任何可能的形式无视创新的重要性，我们将遭受非常巨大的损失。 为了鼓励创新，应该采取一些且行之有效的措施。例如，大众传媒应该大力宣传创新精神的重要性，并且鼓励公众养成创新的意识。此外，对于那些想法设法进行创新的人要给予丰厚的奖励。虽然还有很长的路要走，但是我坚信大家共同付出的努力会得到回报。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. 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.

Conversation One M: And now, for the latter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste. W: That’s right, John. This week, the Italian government passed legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food waste in the country. Q1:New laws have been put into place that will make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate and sell foods to those who are in need.

Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible.
