第一篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)Most studies suggest that when women and men do thesame job and have the experience, pay rates tend to besimilar. Most of the dollar differences stem from fact that -------71.women tend to be more recently employed and have more -------72.years on the job. Whether women who have started a careerwill attain pay equality with men rest on at least two factors. -------73.First, will most of them continue part time at their jobs after -------74.they have children? A break in their employment, or a decision -------75.to work part time, will slow its raises and promotionsbecause it would for men. Second, will male-dominated -------76.companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different -------77.rate as they elevate men? On some fields, this had clearly not -------78.happened. Many men, for example, have committed their -------79.lives to teaching careers, yet relative few have become -------80.principals or headmasters.答案：71. from fact -> from the fact72. recently -> frequently73. rest -> rests74. part -> full75. its -> their76. because -> as77. different -> same78.

The desire to pickup a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, even this method of selection ought --73. not to be followed, as you might end up with arather bored book. You soon become engrossed in --74. some book or other, and usually it is only muchlater that you realise you have spent far much --75. time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment -- without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities ofeveryday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is impossible to do this. A music shop is very much --76. like a bookshop. You can wander round such placesto your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach to you with the inevitable --77. greeting: "Can I help you, Sir?" You needn't buy anything if you don't want. In a bookshop anassistant should remain the background until you --78. have finished browsing. Then, only then, are hisservices necessary. Of course, you may want tofind out where a particular section is, since when he --79. has led you there, the assistant should retirediscreetly and look as he is not interested in --80.selling a single book.答案：71. if -- whether72.

Everyonetalks about a good game, but the winner goes outand do something. To win, there has to be movement --73.and physical action. Attitudes and persistence canhelp us become who we want to be. --74.Competition is the best motivator. Because --75.many people use competition as an excuse for notdoing something, those who really want to success --76.see competition as an opportunity, and they'rewilling to do the tough work necessarily to win. --77.Learn to deal with fear. Fear is the greatestdeterrent to taking risk. People worry so much --78. about failing that their fear paralyzes them,drained the energy they might otherwise be using to --79. grow.You can cultivate self-respect by developing a commitment to your own talents. It may benecessary to do the thing you fear the most inorder to put that fear in rest, so that it can no --80. longer control you.答案：71. focused72. Deep73. does74. what75.

More and more people live in towns and citiesinstead on farms and in villages. Cities and states have to provide --71.services city people want, such like more police protection, more --72.hospitals, and more schools. This means that more policemen,more nurses and technicians, and more teachers must be hired.Advances in technology has also changed people's lives. --73.Dishwashers and washing machines do jobs that were once doneby the hand. The widespread use of such electrical appliances --74.means that there is a need for servicemen to keep it running --75.properly.People are earning higher wages and salaries. This leads --76.changes in the way of life. As income goes down, people may not --77. want more food to eat or more clothes to wear.

In the eighteenth century farmerswere quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almostnothing it needed. The surplus crop would be sold to buy a new --71.items in the local general store.In 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to --72.the city, yet eighty percent of the American population was still inthe country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life --73.were not much changed from that they had been in old days. The --74.farmer aroused at dawn or before and had much work to do, with --75.his own muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, --76.spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking was done --77.in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the onlyimprovement on the candle. The family's recreation and social life chiefly consisted a drive in the wagon to the nearby small town or --78. village to transact some business as well as to chat with neighborswho had also come to town.The children attended a small elementary school (often ofjust one room) to that they had to walk every day, possibly for a --79. few miles. The school term was short so that the children couldnot help on the farm. Although the whole family worked, and life --80. was not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.答案：71. nothing --- everything72. because --- although73. nineteen --- nineteenth74. that --- what75. aroused --- rose/got up76. like --- as77. complicated --- simple78. consisted后加of79. that --- which80. and --- /第六篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)Living is risky. Crossing the road, driving a car,flying, swallowing an aspirin table or eating a chickensandwich-they can all be fatal.Clearly some risks worth taking, especially when the --61.rewards high: a man surrounded by flames and smokegenerally considers that jumping out of a second-floorwindow is an acceptable risk to save its life. But in --62.medicine a few procedures, drugs, operations or tests --63.are really a mater of life and death. There may besound medicine reasons are totally dependent --64.in the balance of risks and benefits for the --65.patients.Surgery for cancer may cure or prolong a life, butthe removal of tonsils(扁桃体) cannot save anything a --66. sore throat. Blood pressure drugs definitely help somepeople live after a heart attack, but these same drugsmay be both necessary and harmful for those with only --67. mild blood pressure problems.Deciding how much discomfort and risk we are preparing --68. to put up with in the name of better health is a high --69. personal matter, not a decision we should remain to --70. doctors alone.答案：61. risks ∧worth → are62. its → h is63. a few → few64. medicine → medical65. in → on 或upon66. anything ∧ a → but 或except67. necessary → unnecessary68. preparing → prepared 或ready 或willing69. high → highly70. remain → leave第七篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)A good way to get information for essays andreports is to interview people who are experts in --71.your topic or whose opinions may be interesti ng.Interviews are also a good way to get a sampling of people's opinions on various questions.

Use your questions, but don't insist in sticking to --75.them or proceeding in the order you have listed.Often the interviewee will have importantinformation that was never occurred to you, or one --76. question may suggest another very useful one.4. If you don't understand something theinterviewee has said, say politely and ask him or --77. her to clarify it or to give an example.5. Take notes, if the interviewee goes too slowly --78. for you, ask him or her to stop for a moment, especially if the point is important. A taperecorder lets you avoid this problem. Therefore, --79.be sure the interviewee agrees to be taped.6. As soon as possible after the interview, readover your notes. They may need clarified while the --80. topic is still fresh in your mind.答案：71. in -- on72. the (most)73. cancel -- make74. interviewer -- interviewee75. in -- on76. 去掉was77.

Planet Earth will be crowded,dirty and lack of resources. A sort of exodus --71.of mankind will begin.Spaceships will be assembled so that theyrevolve around the earth. Some may orbit aroundMars. These space stations will be serviced byspace buses. We saw the first space bus launch in --72.April 1981. This was "Columbia", it made several --73.orbits around the earth and then returned, landingon a huge dry lake bed in California. "Columbia"will be used again. Previous spaceships havebeen abandoned, only the nose cone being usedto bring the crews back to earth. --74.Upon established, each space station will --75.generate its own atmosphere and have its own agriculture. It will need to rotation to provide --76.an artificial gravity; people will be forced inwards --77. from the center by centrifugal force.The moon and Mars could become new sources ofnew materials. Driving through space will no --78. longer need Earth fuel- the energy would comefrom the sun. This energy would be converted from --79. electricity to work magnetic rockets.That all sounds quite fantastically but, with --80.the rapid development of moderns technology, whoknows about what the future holds?答案：71. lack--short72. launch--launched73. it--which74. crews--crew75. upon--once76. rotation--rotate77. inwards-outwards78. will--would79. from--into80. fantastically--fantastic第九篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)Some people, in all seriousness, say thathumans will be living in space within the nexthundred or so years.

Such a place, however, is very good to be true: --72. such a place is nowhere, and that's what the word "Utopia" means. It is made up two Greek words meaning "not a place". --73. The word was first used by Thomas More, a sixteen century --74. English writer whose book Utopia, published in 1516,describing a perfect island country. More's idea for tale came --75. from Plato. Plato's The Republic described what would be aperfect state. Early legends told a perfect place existing --76. somewhere in Atlantic. These legends were no longer believed --77. when the explorations of Americans began, but after More'stime they became common for writers to imagine there places. --78. Utopia, if is effected, would not suddenly make everything --79. perfect because people are of nature imperfect. --80.答案：71. considerable → considerate72. very → too73. made up → made up of74. sixteen → sixteenth75. describing → described76. told → told of/about77.

Every normal person isexpert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, and --71--few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncingforeign languages. Now there are many reasons about this, --72-- some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggestthat the fundamental reason why people in general do notspeak foreign languages very better than they do is that --73--they fail to grasp the true name of the problem of learningto pronounce, and consequently never set about tacklingit by the right way. Far too many people fail to realize --74--that pronounce a foreign language is a skill, one that --75--needs careful training of a special kind, and one thatcannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of himself. --76--I think even teachers of language, while recognizing theimportance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerning with speaking the --77-- language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher may be prepared to --78-- devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his wholeattitude to the subject he should get the student to feelthat here is a matter worth of receiving his close attention. --79--So, there should be occasions where other aspects of English, --80--such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment totake a secondary place.答案：71.and→but。

心之所向，所向披靡Error CorrectionPassage OneConflict is a necessary element in fiction. Indeed, it isthe backbone of a story; it is conflict that gives us the senseof a story going somewhere.The conflict in a story must first be obvious importance 62 ___to the characters involved. We can illustrate this byreference to experience. All of us face constant conflicts ourdaily lives-whenever we cross a street, for example, orwhenever the alarm goes off and we have to get up for aclass. Most of our conflicts are easily resolved-we wait fortraffic and then cross the street without fear, or we shut offthe alarm, get up, and after two cups of coffee forget ourpain. Furthermore, we also experience conflicts that are not 63 ___ easily resolved. All of us, for example, are faced almostdaily with conflicts which have some kind of a permanenteffect to us-which alter our basic values or our conception 64 ___of human nature. Should we report the fellow student whomwe look cheating on an examination? Should we pad (虚报) 65 ____ our accounts for books and supplies in that letter home-particularly since we know that father cheats a little hereand there on his income-tax returns? None of us have 66 ____ witnessed teachers or ministers or high public officialspreach one thing and practice other. All of us have found 67 _____ ourselves in that most common of all dilemmas-the choicebetween holding to a set of moral and ethical convictionsand violate them in order to be accepted by our group. 68 ____ These are the kinds of conflicts which we find fiction; and 69 _____ because they are of this nature, we call fictional conflictscrisis situations. We mean by this that as a result of a givenconflict, the character or characters involving will never 70 ____ again be quite the same people that they are before the 71 _____ incident occurred.Passage TwoWomen are a force that is changing in Australiansociety. The pride of place given to women as almost the 62 _sole shapers of Australian history is being challenged.Today husbands more often than not share householdchores and more men are finding women alongside them inthe workplace. It may be some time after there is a woman 63prime minister of Australia, but the need of women at the 64 _top- and their right to be there-is now widely recognized.The growing role of women in the Australian work forceis both a cause and a consequence of change attitudes and 65 lifestyles in Australian society.In offices, laboratories and factories, in social andpolitical organizations, women are making their presencefeel.There are few remaining legal barriers against women 66 in Australia in jobs, commercial contracts, politics andsocial life. The barriers that exist mainly stem from modern 67 attitudes built into society and are easily changed by new laws. 68 _ Women have brought about the most significant changein the Australian work force simply by entering it inthousands, and by seeking which before were assumed to be 69 suitable for men only. There are now women in Australiadrive buses, trams, taxis, racing cars and 50-tonne trucks. 70 They are race-horse jockeys. They are apprenticeelectricians and mechanics. They are air-traffic controllers.They shear sheep and work like laborers. They are judges 71 and Members of Parliament.Passage ThreeThe problems which face the learners of English canbe divided into three categories: psychological, culture, 62 and linguistic. The largest category seems to be linguistic.When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speaking 63 to a native speaker of English, they may have a shock: theyoften have little difficulty in understanding spoken English 64 of native speakers. There are a number of reasons to this. 65 First, it seems to students that English people speak veryquickly. Secondly, they say with a variety of accents. 66 Thirdly, different styles of speech are used in differentsituations, for example, everyday spoken English, which iscolloquial and idiomatic, are different from the English 67 used for academic purposes. For all of these reasonsstudents will have difficulty, mainly because we lack 68 practice in listening to English people speaking English.What can a student do then to overcome thesedifficulties? Well, obviously, he can benefit in attending 69 English classes and he should take every opportunityavailable to speak with native speakers of English. Heshould be aware, consequently, that English people are, by 70 temperament, often reserved and may be willing to start a 71 conversation. So he should have the courage to take the initiative.Passage FourBusiness visits tend to be extremely punctual. If youarrive late to a business appointment, it will reflect badlyon you. So try to arrive on time, or even if a little earlier. 62 If you know that you will be arriving late, you shouldtelephone ahead to let them know of the delay. If abusiness meeting takes place over a meal, expect thebusiness discussions to begin after everyone has orderedtheir meal, sometimes as soon as everyone is seating. 63 Socializing tends to occur after the business is concluded,not before. This is in contrast with the practice inmany other countries, where the purpose of the meal is tosocialize with and get to know each other after any business 64 is discussed. Many American companies have men in 65 management positions. So don't be surprised if the personwho meets you is a woman, not a man. They are just ascompetent as their male counterparts. If you feeluncomfortable, focusing on the business at hand and ignore 66 the fact what she happens to be a woman. Do not, 67 however, ask personal questions like you might with a male 68 colleague. In particular, do not ask whether she is marriedor has children. When businessmen or businesswomenmeet, they usually introduce themselves through shaking 69 right hands. When you shake hands, don't crush theirfingers, neither hold their hand so lightly. A firm 70 handshake is best. Business cards are not normallyexchanged with meeting. If you need a colleague's contact 71 information, it is okay to ask them for their cards. It is alsookay to offer someone your card. But there is not anelaborate ritual of exchanging cards as in other cultures.Passage FiveTeachers believe that students' responsibility with 62. ____ learning is necessary. If a long reading assignment isgiven, instructors expect students to be familiar withthe informations in the reading even if they do not 63. ___ discuss it in class or give an examination. The idealstudent is considered to be one who motivated to learn 64. ___for the sake of learning, not the one who is interestedonly in getting high grades. Grade-conscious studentsmay be frustrated with teachers who do not believe itis necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimeshomework is returned with brief writing comments but 65. ____ without a grade. When research is assigned, theprofessor expects the student to make the initiative 66. ___ and complete the assignment with minimal guidance.Professors do not have time to explain how the libraryworks; they expect students, particular graduate students, 67. ___to be able to use the reference sources in the library.In the United States, professors have other duties except 68. ___ teaching. Often they either have administrative work to door may be obliged to publish articles and books. But the 69. ___ time that a professor can spend with a student outside ofclass is very limited. Educational practices such as studentparticipation indicates a respect for individual responsibility 70. ___ and independence. The manner which education is provided 71. ____ in any country reflects basic cultural and social beliefs of that country.。

六级改错冲刺模拟题（5）Many describe Freud as the most influential psychologist of all time. Yet not everyone recognize the profound effect of 71. psychoanalytic theory in the way most of us look at human 72. behavior, regardless of any formal exposure to Freud’s w orks. For example, most adults in Western society aept the idea that behavior can be influenced by an unconscious part of the mind. We say things like “I must have done that consciously” or “Even 73. though I didn’t realize it consciously, maybe unconsciou sly I did.” Although Freud was not the first to talk about the unconscious, no one ago, or probably since, has placed 74. so many emphasis upon unconscious processes in explaining 75. human behavior. Do you believe that dreams hold important psychological information, revealing inner fears and desires? If so, you are backing on an idea that Freud popularized. 76. As people had been interpreting dreams for thousands of 77. years, Freud was the first to incorporate dream interpretation into a larger psychological theory. When we talk about our dreams and try to figure it out, we are informally following a therapeutic 78. procedure outlining by Freud at the turn of the century. 79. Numerous examples of Freudian thought can be found in our daily language, as well as in modern literature and in motion pictures. Thus, an understanding of Freudian psychology ispart of a good liberal arts education; it can aid the observant student to appreciating subtle and not-so-subtle references 80.答案： 71. recognize > recognizes 72. in > on 73. consciously > unconsciously 74. ago > before 75. many > much 76. on 去掉或者改成up 77. As > Although 78. it > them 79. outlining > outlined 80. to > in。

Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. , B. , C. and D.. Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet with asingle line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Manufacturers of products that claim to be environmentally friendly will face tighter rules onhow they are advertised to consumers under changes proposed by the Federal TradeCommission.The commissions revised "Green Guides" warn marketers against using labels that make broadclaims, like "eco-friendly". Marketers must qualify their claims on the product packaging andlimit them to a specific benefit, such as how much of the product is recycled."This is really about trying to cut through the confusion that consumers have when they arebuying a product and that businesses have when they are selling a product," said Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the commission.The revisions come at a time when green marketing is on the rise. According to a new study, the number of advertisements with green messages in mainstream magazines has risen since1987, and peaked in 2008 at 10.4%. In 2009, the number dropped to 9%.But while the number of advertisements may have dipped, there has been a rapid spread ofecolabeling. There are both good and bad players in the eco-labeling game.In the last five years or so, there has been an explosion of green claims and environmentalclaims. It is clear that consumers dont always know what they are getting.A handful of lawsuits have been filed in recent years against companies accused of usingmisleading environmental labels. In 2008 and 2009, class-action lawsuits (集体诉讼) were filedagainst SC Johnson for using "Greenlist" labels on its cleaning products.The lawsuits said thatthe label was misleading because it gave the impression that the products had been certifiedby a third party when the certification was the companys own."We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Greenlist system and we believe that wewill prevail in these cases," Christopher Beard, director of public affairs for SC Johnson, said, while acknowledging that "this has been an area that is difficult to navigate."Companies have also taken it upon themselves to contest each others green claims.David Mallen, associate director of the Council of Better Business Bureau, said in the last twoyears the organization had seen an increase in the number of claims companies were bringingagainst each other for false or misleading environmental product claims."About once a week, I have a client that will bring up a new certification Ive never even heardof and Im in this industry, said Kevin Wilhelm, chief executive officer of Sustainable BusinessConsulting. "Its kind of a Wild West, anybody can claim themselves to be green." Mr. Wilhelmsaid the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labelsthey should pay attention to.46. What do the revised "Green Guides" require businesses to do?A) Manufacture as many green products as possible.B) Indicate whether their products are recyclable.C) Specify in what way their products are green.D) Attach green labels to all of their products.47. What does the author say about consumers facing an explosion of green claims?A) They can easily see through the businesses tricks.B) They have to spend lots of time choosing products.C) They have doubt about current green certification.D) They are not clear which products are truly green.48. What was SC Johnson accused of in the class-action lawsuits?A) It gave consumers the impression that all its products were truly green.B) It gave a third party the authority to label its products as environmentally friendly.C) It misled consumers to believe that its products had been certified by a third party.D) It sold cleaning products that were not included in the official "Greenlist".49. How did Christopher Beard defend his companys labeling practice?A) There were no clear guidelines concerning green labeling.B) His companys products had been well received by the public.C) It was in conformity to the prevailing practice in the market.D) No law required the involvement of a third party in certification.50. What does Kevin Wilhelm imply by saying "Its kind of a Wild West" (Line 3，Para. 11)?A) Businesses compete to produce green products.B) Each business acts its own way in green labeling.C) Consumers grow wild with products labeled green.D) Anything produced in the West can be labeled green.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Americas education system has become less a ladder of opportunity than a structure totransmit inequality from one generation to the next.Thats why school reform is so critical. This is an issue of equality, opportunity and nationalconscience. Its not just about education, but about poverty and justice.Its true that the main reason inner-city schools do poorly isnt teachers unions, but poverty. Southern states without strong teachers ，unions have schools at least as awful as those inunion states. Some Chicago teachers seem to think that they shouldnt be held accountableuntil poverty is solved. Therere steps we can take that would make some difference, andMayor Rahm Emanuel is trying some of them—yet the union is resisting.Id be sympathetic if the union focused solely on higher compensation. Teachers need to bemuch better paid to attract the best college graduates to the nations worst schools. But, instead, the Chicago union seems to be using its political capital primarily to protect weakperformers.Theres solid evidence that there are huge differences in the effectiveness of teachers. The goldstandard study by Harvard and Columbia University scholars found that even in high-povertyschools, teachers consistently had a huge positive or negative impact.Get a bottom 1% teacher, and the effect is the same as if a child misses 40% of the schoolyear. Get a teacher from the top 20%, and its as if a child has gone to school for an extramonth or two.The study found that strong teachers in the fourth through eighth grades raised the skills oftheir students in ways that wouldlast for decades. Just having a strong teacher for oneelementary year left pupils a bit less likely to become mothers as teenagers,a bit more likelyto go to college and earning more money at age28.How does one figure out who is a weak teacher? Yes, thats a challenge. But researchers areimproving systems to measure a teachers performance throughout the year, and, with threeyears of data, ifs usually possible to tell which teachers are failing.Unfortunately, the union in Chicago is insisting that teachers who are laid off—often for beingineffective—should get priority in new hiring. Thats an insult to students.Teaching is so important that it should be like other professions, with high pay and goodworking conditions but few job protections for bottom performers.This isnt a battle between garment workers and greedy bosses. The central figures in theChicago schools strike are neither strikers nor managers but 350,000 children. Protecting theunion demand sacrifices those students, in effect turning a blind eye to the injustice in theeducation system.51. What do we learn about Americas education system?A) It provides a ladder of opportunity for the wealthy.B) It contributes little to the elimination of inequality.C) It has remained basically unchanged for generations.D) It has brought up generations of responsible citizens.52. What is chiefly responsible for the undesirable performance of inner-city schools?A) Unqualified teachers. C) Unfavorable learning environment.B) Lack of financial resources. D) Subconscious racial discrimination.53. What does the author think the union should do to win popular support?A) Assist the city government in reforming schools. C) Demand higher pay for teachers.B) Give constructive advice to inner-city schools. D) Help teachers improve teaching.54. What is the finding of the gold standard study by Harvard and Columbia Universityscholars?A) Many inner-city school teachers are not equal to their jobs.B) A large proportion of inner-city children often miss classes.C) Many students are dissatisfied with their teachers.D) Student performance has a lot to do with teachers.55. Why does the author say the Chicago unions demand is an insult to students?A) It protects incompetent teachers at the expense of students.B) It underestimates students, ability to tell good teachers from poor ones.C) It makes students feel that they are discriminated against in many ways.D) It totally ignores students，initiative in the learning process.八、翻译Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.
