(1)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions l - 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.Linguistic Ability of ChildrenA. Scientists may finally have an explanation for why children reign supreme when it comes to learning new language. Using MRI and animation technology to study the brains of children,researchers like Dr. Paul Thompson of UCLA have discovered that children are processing language information in a different region of the brain than adults.B. There are different areas in the brain controlling different functions in our lives. When we brush our teeth, sign our names or drive a car, we don't consciously think: "move the right hand up and down like this," "capitalize this letter," or "turn the wheel 30 degrees to the left. " These are examples of automatic brain function. When children acquire language, this same part of the brain, called the "deep motor area," is what they use, so the language is like second nature.C.But when adults learn a, second or third language, their brains operate differently. The window of opportunity to imprint information and skills in the deep motor region of the brain is widest during early childhood and nearly shut by the time we reach about 18. Therefore, adults have to store information elsewhere, in a more active brain region. As a consequence, adults usually think sentences through in a native tongue and then translate them word-by-word,instead of thinking automatically in another language like a child would. Even for people with extensive training in a second language as an adult: who feel their speech is automatic, on a neurological level the brain is still operating differently from a child's.D. Research into the neurology of language acquisition is proving useful because understanding the "geographic" differences of language learning in children versus adults may influence teachers and their decisions about foreign language instruction. As an example, Thompson says simply teaching young children the sounds and accents of other languages at an earlier age may be valuable，even if they are not getting full instruction in the language．Learning those sounds later in life from a neurological perspective call
be more difficult．E．There is no proof of any physiological change that fundamentally alters language learning between childhood and adulthood．Non—physiological explanations are available for every observation made thus far，and they are just as plausible as the physiological explanations．The notion that children are physiologically different from adults with respect to language learning is accepted linguistic dogma．not proven fact．The dogma is most readily accepted by linguists who can’t learn other languag

Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes)
(1)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2."Without a doubt, the Channel Tunnel would not have been built if we'd known about these problems," Richard Shirrefs, the chief executive of Eurotunnel, said this week. Too few people are using the twenty year-old undersea link between Britain and France to repay even the interest on its swollen construction costs, which have left Eurotunnel with some EUR 9 billion in debt. So, just as happened with supersonic Concorde，taxpayers are being asked to help out another complete Angl0—French transport failure．But this time，the government of Britain and France are unlikely to cough印(勉强交出钱)．In l986，Margaret Thatcher，then Britain’s Prime Minister，and the late Francois Mitterrand。France’s President，announced that no public money would be involved．While the French might now be a little flexible about such things。Britain will not．Pouring public money down the tunnel“is prohibited by international treaty and legislation．”insists a spokesman for Britain’s Department of Transport．Mr．Shirrefs has not been specific about what he wants，other than a radical restructuring of Eurotunnel’s balance sheet，which could involve state assistance or guarantees．His firm．Which was granted a 99－year lease on the tunnel，has unveiled a record net loss of EURl．9 billion．mostly due to an accounting charge to reflect reduced cash flow expectations．Eurotunnel operates a shuttle service on the twin rail——tracks carrying passengers and vehicles．It also charges others to use the link，including rail—freight companies and Eurostar，which operates high—speed rail services between London，Paris and Brussels．Even at the lower end of forecasts，some 10m Eurostar passengers were expected to use the link each year．But last year iust 6．3m did．Instead of 5m tons of freight。only l．7 m tons were transported．Mr．Shirrefs would like to boost traffic by cutting charges．but until November 2006 the fees paid by Eurostar and the freight companies are fixed—and at a level that is also based on an expectation of much higher usage．Slashing prices would bring more passengers，but it risks tipping Eurotunnel even closer to bankruptcy unless its balance sheet can be shorn up．The company has already undergone(at least)three earlier financial shake—tips．None of this will come as a surprise to tunnel－skeptics—who,like Concord’s．were mostly ignored．Even as the tunnel was being dug，ferry firms ordered bigger and faster ships，confident that they could undercut it．In the event．this is what they did．Even the ferries are now adrift and losing passengers to cut-price airlines：Instead of taking an expensive train or a slow boat，an increasing number of passengers now fly cheaply to destinatio
(2)Who claimed that government would not be financially involved in the tunnel construction?
(3)______________finance even worse would bring in more passengers and goods but make the Eurotunnel’s finance even worse.
(4)What makes Eurotunnel lose both freight and passengers?
(5)Compared with flights，trains and ferries are regarded as being __________
Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes)
(1)Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage． Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts between the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph．D．s．Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 per cent．The extent of the loss was，however，largely a matter of expert guessing．Last week a well—rounded study was published．It was based on 22，000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemedto show many past fears to be groundless．The dropouts rate was found to be 3 1 per cent。and in most cases the dropouts。while not completing the Ph．D．requirement，went on to productive work．They are not only doing well financially，but，according to the report，are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates．Discussing the study last week。Dr．Tucker said the project was initiated“because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph．D．programs were capable of completing the requirement for the degree．”Attrition at the Ph．D．1evel is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity．Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly—trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph．D．“The results of our research”．Dr．Tucker concluded．“did not support these opinions”．1．Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out．2．Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialties．3．Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation．Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision，but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass to the qualifying examination，uncompleted theses and failure to pass language exams．Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non —completion of their Ph．D．program，lack of finances was marked by l9 per cent．As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing．a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving$20．o00 and more annually while none of the Ph．D．s with that background reached this figure．The Ph．D．s shone in the$7．500 to$15．000 bracket with 78%at that level against 50%for the dropouts．This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields，
where Ph．D．s tend to rise to the highest salaries，are still lagging behind other fields．As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus．the outlook was glum．The．main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25%of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to gua
(2)Research has shown that ____________．
A. dropouts ale substantially below Ps in financial attainment
B. the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Pstudies
C. the Pcandidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out
D. about onthird of those who start Pwork do not complete the work to earn the degree
(3)We learn from the passage that ____________．
A. foreign language requirements ．or the P do not vary in difficulty among universities
B. meeting foreign language requirements for the P is the most frequent reason for dropping out
C. it is an essential part of many Ph, programs to meet foreign language requirements for the P
D. meeting foreign language requirements for the P is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate
(4)After reading the passage, one would refrain from concluding that________ ．
A. Ps are not earning what they deserve in non-academic positions
B. colleges and universities employ a substantial number of P dropouts
C. a P dropout, by and large, does not have what it takes to learn the degree
D. optimism reigns in regard to getting P dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree
(5)It can be inferred from the passage that __________．
A. there are 1,000 positions for the Ps
B. the high rate of dropouts is because the salary for dropouts is too high
C. the high rate of dropouts lies in the fact that the salary for P is too low
D. the reason why so many P candidates drop out is that academic requirement is too high for them
(6)Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage.Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is disseminated, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizens' patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens independent access to the candidates, television diminished the role of the political party in-the selection of the major party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizen's focus on character than issues.Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a
political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, which characterized nineteenth century political discourse, has given way to. the 30-second advertisement and 10-second "sound bite ( 原声摘要)" in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather viewing audience who will hear and see a snippet (摘录) of the speech on the news.In these abbreviated (缩减的) forms, much of what constituted the traditional political discourse of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot de tail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In snippets, politicians assert but do not argue.Because television is an intimate medium, speaking through it required a changed political style that was more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech.Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.Recognizing the power of television's pictures, politicians crafted televisual, staged events,called pseudo events, and designed to attract media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption,, bites in news and answers to questions in debates and increasingly sounds like advertisements.{TS}It can be inferred from thepassage that ______________
A. politics in the United States has been significantly changed by television
B. citizens in the United States prefer to see politicians on television instead of in person
C. politics in the United States has become substantially more controversial since the introduction of television
D. citizens in the United States are now more informed about political issues because of television coverage
(7)It is stated in the passage that before the production of television, political parties .
A. received more money
B. attracted more members
C. spent more money to promote their political candidates
D. had more influence over the selection of political, candidates
(8)According to the passage, as compared with televised-speeches, traditional political discourse was more successful at _______
A. allowing news coverage of political candidates
B. making politics seem more intimate to the citizen
C. placing political issues within a historical context
D. providing detailed information on the candidate's private behavior
(9)The author states "politicians assert but not argue" at the end of Paragraph 3 in order to suggest
that politicians .
A. enjoy explaining the issues to broadcasters
B. take stronger positions on issues than in the past
C. make claims without providing reasons for the claims
D. dislike having to explain their own positions on issues to citizens
(10)It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that____________ .

B. citizens will need to learn how to evaluate visual political images in order to become better informed

6．【解析】before—after。本题考查语义关系。此句是说，使用的水越少，混凝土固定后的工作就越难做，故将before改为after。
7．【解析】have A warned—been。此句中that指代的是上句中提到的use enough water to have the concrete nice and soft and easy to push around．，而此句是说别人提醒你注意这个，而不是你去提醒他人，所以应用被动语态，故在have后加been。
8．【解析】how—what。what…look like为固定搭配，意为“…看起来怎么样”，故将how 改为what。
9．【解析】unlikely—likely。本题考查上下句语义关系。下句中to cause a major crack or defect in the body of the work意为“在工作中就会导致大的裂缝和瑕疵”，而用unlikely(不可能)太过绝对，不符合常理，故将unlikely改为likely。
10．【解析】proper—properly。hardened为动词，应用副词修饰动词，故将形容词proper改为副词properly。Part ⅥTranslation (5 minute)
(1) :
【答案】out of proportion to the cost of production
【解析】本题考查对短语out of proportion t0的掌握。in proportion t0意为“与…成比例”；0ut of proportion t0意为“与…不成比例”。“生产成本”用cost of production表示。(2) : 【答案】enables more women to take full advantage of employment opportunities
【解析】本题考查对短语enable…to及take advantage of用法的掌握。enable sb．to(do)sth．意为“使某人有权做某事或享用某物”；take full advantage of表示“充分利用”。(3) :
【答案]have come to the conclusion
【解析】本题考查对短语come to的掌握。come to sth．意为“达到某种状态(境地)”，“得出结论”即是come to the conclusion。注意题干中是“已”得出结论，所以用现在完成时态，come的过去分词和原形一样。(4) :
【答案was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather
【解析】本题考查对call off/cancel用法的掌握。call off意为“取消，撤销(计划的活动)”，cancel意为“取消，撤销”；“天气不好”可用the bad weather来表达，因其是名词短语，所以用because of；因为主语是The sports meet，是“取消”的受动者，所以时态应用被动语态，“最终”可用finally来表达。(5) :
【答案】must be equal for all who are being compared
【解析】本题考查对情态动词和定语从句的掌握。“肯定”用must表示；“与…相当”用be equal for；“与被比较的所有人”用定语从句；in terms of意为“根据，按照，用…的话，在…方面”。
2005 年-2012 年六级作文真题及范文 2012 年6 月英语六级作文题 题目：The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication 要求：commenting on "Dad：Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad" The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication In contemporary society, our life is filled with a variety of anecdotes or stories, and the following is no exception: "Dad：Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad." Funny as it seems, this conversation can be naturally associated with the impacts of Internet on our life: In an era of Internet, the time for interpersonal communication is impaired by online chats or blogs. Apparently, the impacts of the Internet on interpersonal communication are diverse. For one thing, as a vital invention, Internet brings great convenience to our communication, eliminates the barrier of distance, and helps humans to keep in touch wherever and whenever. For another, it is Internet that does not enables family members, friends or classmates to communicate more in a face-to-face way. One case in point is that youngsters may spend hours chatting with acquaintances through QQ or MSN, but rarely do they talk with other face to face. Unfortunately, it we let this trend to continue as it is, the interpersonal relationship will, definitely, become alienated. To my understanding, it is advisable for people to communicate more with their families, friends and acquaintances in real life instead of merely through the Internet. Do bear in mind: Internet is just a tool. 2011 年12 月英语六级作文题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln s famous remark, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend, the first four sharpening the axe."

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.

2018年英语六级考试试题及答案 PartⅠWriting 1.【题干】For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building trust between business and consumers. You can cite examples to illustrate your views. 150-200 words. 【答案】Without a doubt, a mutually-trusted relation between businesses and consumers is important for the two parties. First of all, though business is objective, cooperation is relatively subjective. Only when a consumer believe in what a businessman is selling, he or she could decide to buy something from the man. In reality, I have seen too many consumers purchase or refuse one commodity only because they like or dislike the salesman who they meet, especially when they are in a bad mood. Secondly, when one businessman consider that a customer trusts him, he would feel honored and satisfied thereby giving more preference to the customer. Naturally, when one businessman offers the best quality goods and the best prices to a customer, the customer has no excuse to refuse the businessman. Once such relation informed, both the two parties gain profit from it Hence, both businesses and consumers should work together to form a reciprocal relation. PartⅢReading Section A

2011年12月英语六级作文范文 The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type The Way to Success "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comes our question, what is the way to success? A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success. Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody. Without efforts, no one can succeed. To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success. Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way. 【作文解析】 本次六级考试作文题为The way to success，与本次四级考试作文Nothing succeeds without a strong will遥相呼应，大同小异，都是在讨论成功这一话题。 此次六级考试作文的话题依然是老生常谈，即通往成功的道路，相信很多考生对此并不陌生，背过范文的同学写起来肯定也是得心应手。 该范文段落结构清晰，阐释说理也足以让人信服，是一篇不错的作文。 开篇作者通过引用爱迪生关于天才的一句名言来引出问题，吸引读者注意，引起读者的思考。紧随其后，作者就开门见山地亮出了自己的观点：只有坚强的意志和不懈的努力才能打开成功的大门。 第二段，作者同样以一个问题来引领全段，引发思考。然后通过对比不成功和最终成功的人的不同表现，来阐释坚强的意志对获得成功的重要作用。 第三段，作者进一步阐释“仅有坚强的意志，没有实在的努力，也能成功吗？”同样是先发问，然后举了爱迪生的事例，来证明答案是否定的。举名人的例子，而非个人的实例来作为文章的论据才更

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. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,
