But actuallythe umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probablythe first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And therewas a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East Inancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was incommon use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellasas protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared againin Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become muchlighter in weight. It wasn ’’ t until the twentieth century that women ’’ s umbrellas began to be m variety of colors.1.The first use of umbrella was as_________.A protection against rainB a shade against thesun C a symbol of powerD a symbol of honor答案 :B此题观察的是考生对细节的掌握。

As a result, many people are making an effort to incorporate exercise into their daily routines. From my perspective, physical exercise plays a crucial role in maintaining our health and well-being.Firstly, physical exercise helps to improve our physical fitness. Regular exercise can strengthen our muscles, enhance our cardiovascular system, and boost our immune system. As a result, we are less likely tosuffer from various diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.Secondly, physical exercise has a positive effect on our mental health. Engaging in physical activities can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Exercise promotes the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Moreover, physical exercise can improve our self-esteem and self-confidence.Thirdly, physical exercise can enhance our social well-being. Participating in group sports or exercise classes can help us build friendships and social connections. This, in turn, can lead to a sense of belonging and community.However, it is important to note that physical exercise should be done in moderation. Over-exercising can lead to injuries and other health problems. Therefore, it is essential to find a balance and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen.In conclusion, physical exercise is of great importance to our overall well-being. By incorporating exercise into our daily lives, we can improve our physical, mental, and social health. It is never too late to start, so let's make an effort to be more active and lead a healthier lifestyle.。
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 choiMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’’s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You’’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目 )writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’’t even matter that it was cold and ha d no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely madeenough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to______.A warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD encourage young people to pursue a writing career答案:A这道题考察考生对文章的整体把握能力。

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 Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.I wasted a lot of time looking for the typical village.Yet no such thing exists.Conditions vary too widely.But the villages I stayed in had much in common poverty, ignorance.Often the villagers themselves were puzzled suspicious.Why had I come I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed.I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else.But to understand how three quarters of the world’s people live,and how their future might affect ours.I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains.I took the bus from town along a bumpy(崎岖不平的)road,then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river.After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath,there was a magnificent view.After several hours’ walk the village came into view.31.After the writer had arrived in IndiaA)he spent a year writing about the place he lived inB)he took quite a long time finding a suitable place to live.C)he spent years looking for a certain village.D) he lived in a Himalayan community for many months.32.While looking for a“village”the writer foundA) he was searching for the impossible.B) all the village were exactly the same.C) the villagers made him feel confused.D) the village asked him a lot of questions.33.Before coming to India the writerA) had been a successful politician.B) had made a decision to do no more work.C) had been dismissed from his job.D) had written articles for publication.34.The writer decided to change his way of life becauseA)he no longer found his work interesting.B)he wanted to live a peaceful life in the countryside.C)he wanted to find out more about the Third World.D) he thought living in a small community would be rewarding.35.The village the writer finally chooses to live inA) was situated at the end of a bumpy road.B) had a letter climate than those in the plains.C) was a short walk from the river.D) had a magnificent view of the river.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 arc based on the following passage.Natural gas began with the plant and animal life of the earth’s prehistoric seas.Dead organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by layers of mud,silt(淤泥),and the layers of mud,silt,and sand were compressed intosolid rock.As millions of years passed,these rock layers bucked shifted.and accumulationof gas and oil were displaced and became trapped beneath masses of nonporous rock.Primitive man discovered natural gas quite by accident.The temple fires of Baku on the Caspian Sea(里海)were fired by natural gas seeping(渗漏)from rock fissures(裂缝),and worshipers(礼拜者,崇拜者)of hire journeyed to Baku from ad afar away as India.The mysterious“burning springs”in North America and elsewhere were also evidence of escaping gas,probably ignited by lighting.The first industrial application of natural gas was made by the Chinese.Gas transported by bamboo pipes was burned to evaporate brine and produce salt.Today there are some twenty—six thousand industrial uses for natural gas,and new uses are constantly being developed.Gas manufactured from coal was first produced early in the seventeenth century Because of its elusive nature, it was called ghost, meaning “ghost”-hence, someday ,our word gas.36.The original material for natural gas were prehistoric .A)plant life B)animallife C)minerals D)both a and b37.The natural forces acting on the material were .A)decay B)heat C)pressureD)all of the above38.Over time,layers covering these materials changed toA)rock B)oil C)mudD)all of the above39.The occurrence of natural gas at Baku was once linked withA)medicine B)religion C)chemistryD)geology40.The probably cause of the “burning springs” is given as .A)earthquakes B)heat C)lightingD)pressurePassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Experiments have been carried out on volunteers to see what happens when all sensations are stopped. This can be done in several ways. One method is to put a man inside a completely isolated room. This room is heavily sound-proofed and absolutely dark. There is no light or sound and the person is instructed just to lie motionless on a bed. People have stayed in rooms such as this for as long as four days. The results of sensory deprivation (SD) vary with the individual.Soon after entering the confinement cell most subjects went to sleep and slept almost without interruption for ten to twenty-four hours. These are gross estimates for there was nothing by which the subjects could determine the time which had elapsed. We know for certain that one subject slept for nineteen hours but insisted that he had had a nap of less than one hour. According to the monitoring microphone, which was capable of picking up the deep breathing of sleep, it seems more likely that most subjects slept all of the first twenty-four hours.We felt that so much sleeping in the first day wasted the effects of confinement, so we started placing subjects in SD early in the morning. We reasoned that after a night's sleep our confined subject would be unable to dissipate the effects of SD by sleeping. Such was not the case. As far as we could determine they went to sleep just as quickly and slept just as long as the previous subjects. We then started entering the subjects at midmorning, midday, and midafternoon. As it turned out, it made no difference when during the day and, presumably, during the night we started the confinement; the initial sleep period was always about the same.We had not expected this extended period of initial sleep. In fact, it had seemed reasonable to expect something of the opposite. SD was a very novel situation for our subjects, and as such, we reasoned, it should have occupied them for some time. I had a similar expectation for astronauts during space flight and was greatly surprised to learn that the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin had been able to sleep during his space flight around the earth.Other effects were also noted. With no real sensations to work on, the brain makes up all sorts of false information. Many people experience vivid dreams and hallucinations. When they are finally taken out of the room into the real changing world of light and sound, they are in a very strange state of mind, ready to believe anything and not nearly able to make decisions.41. This passage is mainly aboutA. how to have a sound sleepB. what causes loss of sensationsC. what will happen if sensations were lostD. how to lose sensations42. What does "subjects" (Para. 3, Line 2,) mean in this passage?A. Any member of a state except the supremeruler.B. Something to be talked or written about or studied.C. Person, animal or thing to be treated or dealt with.D. Theme on which a composition is based.43. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. All the people react in the same way to sensory deprivation.B. The researchers expected the subjects to sleep for a longtime.C. The first reaction to sensory deprivation is to dream.D. Total sensory deprivation means that the brain has no real information towork on.44. We can probably infer from the passage thatA. most astronauts are unable to fall asleep in spaceB. a period of sensory deprivation would make a person hard to controlC. many people are subject to fantasy while in the sensory deprivation cellD. microphones are used to control the breathing of subjects45. All of the following are the results of sensory deprivation exceptthatA. most subjects fell asleep and slept for a long timeB. some subjects didn't know how many hours they spent sleepingC. it took a long time for the subjects to adapt themselves to sensory deprivationD. many subjects became credulous right after sensory deprivationIII ClozeDirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the paper below. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the centerAn American warship once paid a visit 46 a port in a hit country where the British base invited the officers of the American warship to aparty 47 .

2014年6月大学英语6级真题与答案详解汇总(共三套)完整版 作文1:It is unwise to judge a person by appearance.不要以貌取人 As a prevailing saying goes,“Don’t judge a person by appearance”. Undoubtedly, it reflects a current phenomenon that fewer individuals seem to attach due importance to the significance of intrinsic factors. However, from my own perspective, we should put more emphasis on the quality rather than appearance.
Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. The best illustration might be some currently over-packaged products in the markets. To put it more exactly, we may easily notice that the delicate packaged products may turn out to be of inferior quality. Exactly, it is the intrinsic factors that enable us to make reasonable choices.
In short, laying a solid foundation is crucial if we want to make achievements in our stu-dies or work, or indeed in any other aspects of our lives. And what we should bear in mind is that essence matters most instead of “the first sight”.
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 choiA youngster’’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out (退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. "When children work on a project", says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, "they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can’’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’’t have any social skills. Relationships should be the first R."At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old isstruggling to meet adults’’ expectations. "Young kids don’’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability." says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, "If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious", says Hills, "a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation".1. The author seems to think that a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would________.A have negative effects on his studyB develop his individualism but limit his intelligenceC eventually lead to his leaving schoolD have nothing to do with his achievements in a course答案:A细节题。
2014年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题(第一套)及答案Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.When young women were found to make only 82 percent of what their male peers do just one year out of college, many were at a loss to explain it.All the traditional reasons put forward to interpret the pay gap-that women fall behind when they leave the workforce to raise kids, for example, or that they don’t seek as many m anagement roles-failed to justify this one。
These young women didn’t have kids yet。
And because they were just one year removed from their undergraduate degrees,few of these women yet had the chance to go after (much less decline) leadership roles。
But there are other reasons why the pay gap remains so persistent。
The first is that no matter how many women may be getting college degrees, the university experience is still an unequal one. The second is that our higher education system is not designed to focus on the economic consequences of our students’ years on campus.Now that women are the majority of college students and surpass men in both the number of undergraduate and advanced degrees awarded, one might think the college campus is a pretty equal place. It is not。

Each s tatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the infor mation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.High School Sports Are n’t Killing AcademicsA)In this month’s Atlantic cover article, “The Case Against High-School Sports,” Amanda Riple y arg ues that school-sponsored sports programs should be seriously cut. She writes that, unlike most countries t hat outperform the United States on international assessments, American schools put too much of an emph asis on athletics, “ Sports are embedded in American schools in a way they are not almost anywhere els e,” she writes, “Yet this difference hardly ever comes up in domestic debates about America’s internation al mediocrity(平庸)in education.”B)American student-athletes reap many benefits from participating in sports, but the costs to the scho ols could outweigh their benefits, she argues, In particular, Ripley contends that sports crowd out the acad emic missions of schools: America should learn from South Korea and Finland and every other country at the top level of international test scores, all of whom emphasize athletics far less in school. ”Even in ei ghth grade, American kids spend more than twice the time Korean kids spend playing sports,” she writes, citing a 2010 study published in the Journal of Advanced Academics.C)It might well be true that sports are far more rooted in American high schools than in other count ries. But our reading of international test scores finds no support for the argument against school athletics. Indeed, our own research and that of others lead us to make the opposite case. School-sponsored sports appear to provide benefits that seem to increase, not detract(减少)from, academic success.D)Ripley indulges a popular obsession(痴迷)with international test score comparisons, which show wid e and frightening gaps between the United States and other countries. She ignores, however, the fact that states vary at least as much in test scores as do developed countries. A 2011 report from Harvard Univer sity shows that Massachusetts produces math scores comparable to South Korea and Finland, while Missis sippi scores are closer to Trinidad and Tobago. Ripley’s thesis about sports falls apart in light of this fact. Schools in Massachusetts provide sports programs while schools in Finland do not. Schools in Mississipp i may love football while in Tobago interscholastic sports are nowhere near as prominent. Sports cannot e xplain these similarities in performance. They can’t explain international differences either.E)If it is true that sports undermine the academic mission of American schools, we would expect to see a negative relationship between the commitment to athletics and academic achievement. However, the University of Arkansas’s Daniel Bowen and Jay Greene actually find the oppos ite. They examine this rela tionship by analyzing schools’ sports winning percentages as well as student-athletic participation rates co mpared to graduation rates and standardized test score achievement over a five-year period for all public high schools in Ohio. Controlling for student poverty levels, demographics(人口统计状况), and district fin ancial resources, both measures of a school’s commitment to athletics are significantly and positively relat ed to lower dropout rates as well as higher test scores.F)On-the-field success and high participation in sports is not random-it requires focus and dedication to athletics. One might think this would lead schools obsessed with winning to deemphasize academics. B owen and Greene’s results contradict that argument. A likely explanation for this seemingly counterintuitiv e(与直觉相反的)result is that success in sports programs actually facilitates or reflects greater social capita l within a school’s community.G)Ripley cites the writings of renowned sociologist James Coleman, whose research in education was groundbreaking. Coleman in his early work held athletics in contempt, arguing that they crowded out sch ools’ academic missions. Ripley quotes his 1961 study, The Adolescent Society, where Coleman writes, “Altogether, the t rophy(奖品)case would suggest to the innocent visitor that he was entering an athletic cl ub, not an educational institution.”H)However, in later research Coleman would show how the success of schools is highly dependent o n what he termed social capital, “the social networks, and the relationships between adults and children th at are of value for the child’s growing up.”I)According to a 2013 evaluation conducted by the Crime Lab at the University of Chicago, a progra m called Becoming a Man-Sports Edition creates lasting improvements in the boys’ study habits and grad e point averages. During the first year of the program, students were founds to be less likely to transfer schools or be engaged in violent crime. A year after the program, participants were less likely to have ha d an encounter with the juvenile justice system.J)If school-sponsored sports were completely eliminated tomorrow, many American students would stil l have opportunities to participate in organized athletics elsewhere, much like they do in countries such as Finland, Germany, and South Korea. The same is not certain when it comes to students from more disa dvantaged backgrounds. In an overview of the research on non-school based after-school programs, researc hers find that disadvantaged children participate in these programs at significantly lower rates. They find t hat low-income students have less access due to challenges with regard to transportation, non-nominal fees, and off-campus safety. Therefore, reducing or eliminating these opportunities would most likely deprive disadvantaged students of the benefits from athletic participation, not least of which is the opportunity to in teract with positive role models outside of regular school hours.K)Another unfounded criticism that Ripley makes is bringing up the stereotype that athletic XX are t ypically lousy(蹩脚的)classroom teachers. “American principals, unlike the XX XX of principals around th e world, make many hiring decisions with their sports teams in mind, which does not always end well fo r students,” she writes. Educators who seek employment at schools primarily for the purpose of coaching are likely to shirk(推卸)teaching responsibilities, the argument goes. Moreover, even in the cases where th e employee is a teacher first and athletic coach second, the additional responsibilities that come with coac hing likely comes at the expense of time otherwise spent on planning, grading, and communicating with p arents and guardians.L)The data, however, do not seem to confirm this stereotype. In the most rigorous study on the class room results of high school coaches, the University of Arkansas’s Anna Egalite finds that athletic coaches in Florida mostly tend to perform just as well as their non-coaching counterparts, with respect to raising student test scores. We do not doubt that teachers who also coach face serious tradeoffs that likely come at the expense of time they could dedicate to their academic obligations. However, as with sporting even ts, athletic coaches gain additional opportunities for communicating and serving as mentors(导师)that poten tially help students succeed and make up for the costs of coaching commitments.M)If schools allow student-athletes to regularly miss out on instructional time for the sake of travelin g to athletic c ompetitions, that’s bad. However, such issues would be better addressed by changing school and state policies with regard to the scheduling of sporting events as opposed to total elimination. If the empirical evidence points to anything, it points towards school sponsored sports providing assets that are well worth the costs.N)Despite negative stereotypes about sports culture and Ripley’s presumption that academics and athle tics are at odds with one another, we believe that the greater body of evidence shows that school-sponsor ed sports programs appear to benefit students. Successes on the playing field can carry over to the classro om and vice versa(反之亦然). More importantly, finding ways to increase school communities’ social capit al is imperative to the success of the school as whole, not just the athletes.46.Stunets from low-income families have less access to off-campus sports programs.47.Amanda Ripley argues that America should learn from other countries that rank high in international te sts and lay less emphasis on athletics.48.According to the author,Amanda Ripley fails to note that stunents'performance in exams varies from sta te to state.49.Amanda Ripley thinks that athletic coaches are poor at classroom instruction.50.James Coleman's later resrarch make an argument for a school's social capital.51.Reaearchers find that there is a ppsitive relationship between a school's commitment to athletics and ac ademic achievements.52.Aa rigorous study finds that athletic coaches also do well in raising students'test scores.53.According to an evaluation,spograms contribute to students's academic preformance and character building.54.Amanda Ripley believes the emphasis on school sports shuold be brought up when trying to understand why Aamerican students are mediocre.55.James Coleman suggests in his earlier writings that school athletics would undermine a school's image.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfi nished 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the c entre.Passage oneIt is easy to miss amid the day-to-day headlines of global economic recession, but there is a less co nspicuous kind of social upheaval(剧变)underway that is fast altering both the face of the planet and the way human beings live. That change is the rapid acceleration of urbanization. In 2008, for the first time i n human history, more than half the world’s population was living in towns and cities. And as a recently published paper shows, the process of urbanization will only accelerate in the decades to come—with an enormous impact on biodiversity and potentially on climate change.As Karen Seto, the led author of the paper, points out, the wave of urbanization isn’t just about the migration of people into urban environments, but about the environments themselves becoming bigger to a ccommodate all those people. The rapid expansion of urban areas will have a huge impact on biodiversity hotspots and on carbon emissions in those urban areas.Humans are the ultimate invasive species—when the move into new territory, the often displace the wildlife that was already living there. And as land is cleared for those new cities—especially in the dense tropical forests—carbon will be released into the atmosphere as well. It’s true that as people in developi ng nations move from the countryside to the city, the shift may reduce the pressure on land, which could in turn be good for the environment. This is especially so in desperately poor countries, where residents in the countryside slash and burn forests each growing season to clear space for farming. But the real di fference is that in developing nations, the move from rural areas to cities often leads to an accompanying increase in income —and that increase leads to an increase in the consumption of food and energy, wh ich in turn causes a rise in carbon emissions. Getting enough to eat and enjoying the safety and comfort of living fully on the grid is certainly a good thing —but it does carry an environmental price.The urbanization wave can’t be stopped —and it shouldn’t be. But Seto’s paper does underscore the im portance of managing that transition. If we do it the right way, we can reduce urbanization’s impact on the environment. “There’s an enormous opportunity here, and a lot of pressure and responsibility to thin k about how we urbanize,” says Seto. “One thing that’s clear is that we can’t build cities the way we ha ve over the last couple of hundred years. The scale of this transition won’t allow that.” We’re headed to wards an urban planet no matter what, but whether it becomes heaven or hell is up to us.56. W hat issue does the author try to draw people’s attention to?A. The shrinking biodiversity worldwide.B. The rapid increase of world population.C. The ongoing global economic recession.D. The impact of accelerating urbanization.57. In what sense are humans the ultimate invasive species?A. They are much greedier than other species.B. They are a unique species born to conquer.C. They force other species out of their territories.D. They have an urge to expand their living space.58. In what way is urbanization in poor countries good for the environment?A. More land will be preserved for wildlife.B. The pressure on farmland will be lessened.C. Carbon emissions will be considerably reduced.D. Natural resources will be used more effectively.59. What does the author say about living comfortably in the city?A. It incurs a high environmental price.B. It brings poverty and insecurity to an end.C. It causes a big change in people’s lifestyle.D. It narrows the gap between city and country.60. What can be done to minimize the negative impact of urbanization according to Seto?A. Slowing down the speed of transition.B. Innovative use of advanced technology.C. Appropriate management of the process.D. Enhancing people’s sense of respons ibility.Passage TwoWhen Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg launched in Feb. 2004, even he could not i magine the forces it would let loose. His intent was to connect college students. Facebook, which is what this website rapidly evolved into, ended up connecting the world.To the children of this connected era, the world is one giant social network. They are not bound —as were previous generations of humans —by what they were taught. They are only limited by their cu riosity and ambition. During my childhood, all knowledge was local. You learned everything you knew from your parents, teachers, preachers, and friends.With the high-quality and timely information at their fingertips, today’s children are rising normally t ame middle class is speaking up against social ills. Silicon Valley executives are being shamed into addin g women to their boards. Political leaders are marshalling the energy of millions for elections and politica l causes. All of this is being done with social media technologies that Facebook and its competitors set fr ee.As does every advancing technology, social media has created many new problems. It is commonly a ddictive and creates risks for younger users. Social media is used by extremists in the Middle East and el sewhere to seek and brainwash recruits. And it exposes us and our friends to disagreeable spying. We ma y leave our lights on in the house when we are on vacation, but through social media we tell criminals exactly where we are, when we plan to return home, and how to blackmail(敲诈)us.Governments don’t need informers any more. Social media allows government agencies to spy on the ir own citizens. We record our thoughts, emotions, likes and dislikes on Facebook; we share our political views, social preferences, and plans. We post intimate photographs of ourselves. No spy agency or crimi nal organization could actively gather the type of data that we voluntarily post for them.The marketers are also seeing big opportunities. Amazon is trying to predict what we will order. Go ogle is trying to judge our needs and wants based on our social-media profiles. We need to be aware of the risks and keep working to alleviate the dangers.Regardless of what social media people use, one thing is certain: we are in a period of accelerating chan ge. The next decade will be even more amazing and unpredictable than the last. Just as no one could pre dict what would happen with social media in the last decade, no one can accurately predict where this te chnology will take us. I am optimistic, however, that a connected humanity will find a way to uplift itsel f.61. What was the purpose of Facebook when it was first created?A. To help students connect with the outside world.B. To bring university students into closer contact.C. To help students learn to live in a connected era.D. To combine the world into an integral whole.62. What difference does social media make to learning?A. Local knowledge and global knowledge will merge.B. Student will become more curious and ambitious.C. People are able to learn wherever they travel.D. Sources of information are greatly expanded.63. What is the author’s greatest concern with social media technology?A. Individuals and organizations may use it for evil purposes.B. Government will find it hard to protect classified information.C. People may disclose their friends’ information unintentionally.D. People’s attention will be easily distractedfrom their work in hand.64. What do businesses use social media for?A. Creating a good corporate image.B. Conducting large-scale market surveys.C. Anticipating the needs of customers.D. Minimizing possible risks and dangers.65. What does the author think of social media as a whole?A. It will enable human society to advance at a faster pace.B. It will pose a grave threat to our traditional ways of life.C. It is bound to bring about another information revolution.D. It breaks down the final barriers in human communication.Part IV TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into Englis h. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.翻译题一:自从1978年启动改革以来,中国已从计划经济转为以市场为基础的经济,经历了经济和社会的快速发展。
2014年6月大学英语6级真题与答案详解汇总(共三套)完整版作文1:It is unwise to judge a person by appearance.不要以貌取人As a prevailing saying goes,“Don’t judge a person by appearance”. Undoubtedly, it reflects a current phenomenon that fewer individuals seem to attach due importance to the significance of intrinsic factors. However, from my own perspective, we should put more emphasis on the quality rather than appearance.Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. The best illustration might be some currently over-packaged products in the markets. To put it more exactly, we may easily notice that the delicate packaged products may turn out to be of inferior quality. Exactly, it is the intrinsic factors that enable us to make reasonable choices.In short, laying a solid foundation is crucial if we want to make achievements in our stu-dies or work, or indeed in any other aspects of our lives. And what we should bear in mind is that essence matters most instead of “the first sight”.六级作文第二篇题目:It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket.As a common saying goes,“It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket. ”Placing all eggs in one basket means focus all our attention on one thing and fix all our hope on one thing. However, It is wrong and reasonless.Why placing all eggs in one basket is wrong ? Placing all eggs in one basket tends to reduce the odds of success. By focusing on one thing , people will surely improve their efficiency and proficiency. However, they will also overlook other resources and possibilities,thus,the likelihood of success will be lower. Take Jack, one of my best friends, as a case in point: he started to hunt for jobs in his senior year. Compared with other students who chose different kinds of jobs, he aimed at state-owned firms alone. Unfortunately, getting a decent job in state-owned firms is really hard for him. At last, when others got a job, he was still on the way to his interviews. suppose he choose jobs in a wider range and “placeall eggs in different baskets”, he could have gotten a job much easier. Putting all eggs in one basket in unwise, a truth which is applicable to many situations.As a college student,we should endeavor to master more skills, accumulate different experience and make friends with diverse people.2014年6月英语六级作文题目:看到什么、听到什么就立刻得出结论是不明智的。

Municipal bonds, also secure, are offered by local governments and often have___ 36___such as tax-free interest. Some may even be___37___. Corporate bonds are a bit more risky.Two questions often___38___first-time corporate bond investors. The first is “If I purchase a corporate bond, do I have to hold it until the maturity date?” The answer is no. Bonds are bought and sold daily on___39___securities exchanges. However, if you decide to sell your bond before its maturity date, you’re not guaranteed to get the face value of the bond. For example, if your bond does not have___40___ that make it attractive to other investors, you may be forced to sell your bond at a___ 41___, i.e., a price less than the bond's face value. But if your bond is highly valued by other investors, you may be able to sell it at a premium, i. e ., a price above its face value. Bond prices generally___42___inversely (相反地) with current market interest rates. As interest rates go up, bond prices fall, and vice versa (反之亦然). Thus, like all investments, bonds have a degree of risk.The second question is “ How can I___43___the investment risk of a particular bond issue?”Standard & Poor's and Moody’s Investors Service rate the level of risk of many corporate and government bonds. And___44___, the higher the market risk of a bond, the higher the interest rate. Investors will invest in a bond considered risky only if the 45 return is high enough.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2作答。

Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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.Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable.The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.1. According to the passage, nonverbal communication_________.A is a method often used by people who cannot speakB can tell something that words cannotC can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD is less used than words答案:B本题主要考查的是考生对文章定义的理解把握。
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 choi By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children’’s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’’s language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group. 1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A Children who talk a lot are more intelligent. B Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C Active children should read more and be given more attention. D Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods. 答案:D 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案在第一段:“By adopting a few simple techniques,parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children’s language development.(父母给孩子读书的时候,通过采用一些简单的方法可以提高孩子的语言能力。),因此可以得出这样的结论:“语言能力可以通过适当的方法来提高。”D正确 2. What does "it" in line 2 can most probably be replaced by? A Parents increasing children’s language development_________. B Reading techniques being simple C Parents reading to children D Children’s intelligence development 答案:A 本题考查的是考生对具体词汇及结构的把握。根据上文第一句和第三句中的children’s language development部分,可以看出it指父母能提高孩子的语言能力。代词的指代内容一般应从该句的上下句中找。 3. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about? A Do you see the elephant? B Is the elephant in the cage? C What animals do you like? D Shall we go to the zoo? 答案:C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案在第二段:“In the experimental group,the parents were given A two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended quest-tins rather than yes-or-no questions.(在进行实验的这一组里,给家长进行两小时的培训,让他们学会向孩子们提一些自由回答不能用是或不是回答的问题。)”再根据下文提问的举例可看出家长提出的最好的问题应该是:“What animals do you like?(你喜欢什么样的动物?)”C为正确答案。 4. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was_________. A the training that parents received B the age of the children C tile books that were read D the number of the children 答案:A 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案在第二段“In the experimental group,the parents were given a two-hour training session”(在进行实验的这一组里,给家长进行两小时的培训),文章的调查研究中把孩子及其家长分成两组,显然区别在于实验组里的家长接受了培训。 5. The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that_________. A parents should be trained to read to their children B the more children read, the more intelligent they will become C children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively D children who read actively seem six months older 答案:C 本题是推断题,也是考查对文章细节的把握。答案在第一段最后一句话。“If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading,the child’s language skills increase.(如果家长鼓励孩子们对于家长给他们读的书的内容做出积极的反应,那么孩子们的语言能力就会提高。)”因此C为正确答案。
To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C. We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
