Part I Writing新动方打印

2016年12月大学英语六级考试真题答案与详解（第3套）Part I Writing审题思路这是一篇六级考试作文中常见的命题式作文，此次话题creation(创新）是近年来经常提及的话题，因此，对广大考生来说并不陌生。

题目要求考生就创新进行写作，而且明确要求要写出创新的重要性以及鼓励创新的措施。

根据写作要求，范文应该分三段展开论述，且写作重点应该放在阐述创新的重要性和应该如何鼓励创新两方面。

写作提纲一、开门见山，引出话题：由成功的因素引出创新的话题（factors, success, creation, most important human resource）并借助名言阐述创新在经济发展、社会进步和个人成功方面的重要作用（force, economy, society, advance, essential, individuals, new ideas）二、鼓励创新的具体措施1. 社会传媒应宣传创造力的重要性，让人们意识到创新的重要性，并鼓励公众培养创新意识（realize the significance of creation, advocating, value, awareness）2. 对具有创造性思维的人进行物质和精神奖励（creative thinking, praise, materially, spiritually）三、得出结论1. 再次重申创新的重要性（emphasize, importance of creation）2. 号召大家成为创新型人才（learn knowledge, prepare, creative people）高分范文On Creation①Throughout the ages, we have concluded a number of factors that contribute to success, among which is creation. ②Just as the saying goes, “There is no doubt that creation is the most important human resource of all.”③Not only is creation the force driving economy and society to advance, but it is also essential to the development of individuals. ④Those who often come up with new ideas are more likely to achieve success, while a man who always sticks to habit and experience can hardly create new things.⑤In terms of giving measures to encourage creation, I will list the following ones. ⑥On the one hand, the public are expected to realize the significance of creation, so the social media should play its due role in advocating the value of innovation and encouraging the public to cultivate the awareness of creation. ⑦On the other hand, those who are equipped with creative thinking deserve some kind of praise, both materially and spiritually.⑧Creation has been a hot word for a long time and we cannot emphasize the importance of creation too much. ⑨Therefore, we should spare no effort to learn knowledge as much as possible to prepare ourselves for being creative people.精彩点评①从成功因素的角度引出本文主题——创新。

My best friend, Lily, came with me. I remember arriving at the Center the first day, assuming the staff there would take us to meet the family we were to stay with and get us settled. Instead, they handed us a piece of paper with the address and put us in a taxi. I remember how scared I was. All of a sudden I was across theocean in a city I didn't know, and I was losing confidence in my Spanish skills quickly while trying to speak with the taxi driver.As soon as we arrived at our new home in Spain, however, I knew that I was going to spend a happy, comfortable three weeks learning and exploring. We met the mother of the family we would stay with. Her name is Fina, and she greeted us warmly with a kiss on each cheek. She shares a beautiful apartment with her two daughters, Maribel and Laura. After meeting them, I was no longer worried about things.After that first day, Lily and I were ready to explore. We went down to the bus stop and bought a month long pass so that we could easily get around the city. The people of Seville were so friendly and we simply asked a passerby for directions whenever we needed them. I quickly gained confidence in my Spanish again as I practiced more and more every day. Lily and I began to grow used to Spanish life. One of the happiest moments on my trip occurred during the last week in Seville. Lily and I were walking down the street going shopping, when a Spaniard stopped to ask us for directions!The culture there is so wonderful that it is hard to want to live any other way. After the busy life in the United States, I actually had to make myself slow down. One of the things that I loved most about Spain was the fact that there is no fast food. Before school every morning, I would of course wake up too late. Then we would rush down to the bus which we could take half-way to class.The class itself was a very exciting learning experience for me. I was so proud of myself to have taken a class entirely in Spanish, and understood what was going on. I loved the change of pace and challenged myself. My professor was a wonderful man, and made the three-hour class fly by. He had so many interesting stories about Spanish culture and life.One of the things I loved most about being in another country was meeting people from all over the world. We met students from Britain, Australia, Morocco, France, Germany, and many other countries. It was a lot of fun talking with people from so many different backgrounds and perspectives. It is hard toimagine people living so differently from the way we do in our little state of Pennsylvania.This experience is going to be helpful to my teaching because it has made me more open-minded and bold (勇敢的). I have learned that the way I am used to doing things is not always the best way. The more different perspectives and backgrounds that we can experience, the more we can learn.1.

After all, I had graduated from college. I didn't think the job could possibly (48)______ me. I started the day by (49)______ my boss by the wrong name, but that wasn't the worst part.

I know this from personal experience.Email makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun − see a great film, perhaps − and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents useemail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.56. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet57. The use of email has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time working B . have more free time with hischildC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him58. According to the writer, email has a clear advantage over the telephone because email helps one ________.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one's communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the telephoneD. get in touch with one's friends faster than the telephone59. The passage discussed all the following elements of email EXCEPT ________.A. its costB. the way of writingC. the saving of timeD. its easy and convenient use60. The best subject for this passage is ________.A. Computers: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: A New Tool to Make FriendsC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: A Convenient Tool for CommunicationPassage 2Jim was a young man who was honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. Though they made fun of him a great deal, he never got angry with them.But Jim's one great shortcoming was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush (脸红) even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practice lying while looking himself in the eye at the same time. As soon as he told a lie he'd see his face starting to go red and he had to look away.One morning, however, he didn't feel like going to work. He had been to a party the night before that hadn't ended until the early hours of the morning. And so for the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. But in order to do this, he'd have to lie to his boss. He called his boss, pretending to be a woman. "I'm afraid Jim can't come to work today. He isn't feeling very well."Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn't see him just at that moment because his face was bright red."Thank you for letting me know," said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, "Just a moment, madam, who's speaking?""Oh!" Jim stammered (口吃地说), and going all-out to make his voice sound like a woman's, he cried, "This is my landlady speaking!"61. Jim's face would always turn red because ________.A. he was honestB. he became embarrassedwhenever he liedC. he did not like to talkD. he was getting sick62. Jim's weakness was that ________.B. he was honest with anyoneA. it was easy for him toturn redC. he could not tell a lieD. he could not speak on thetelephone.63. Why did Jim spend so much time practicing how to lie?A. He liked to lie.B. His friends told him heshould lie.C. His boss told him he should lieD. He wanted to beconvincing.64. Why did he pretend to be a woman when he called his boss?A. He was nervous.B. He stammered.C. He wanted to tell a lie.D. He wanted to impress hisboss.65. From the passage, we can conclude that Jim ________.A. told a lie once beforeB. cheated his bossC. made his boss angryD. could cheat no onePart VIII ClozeDirections: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer from the three choices marked A, B and C.(10 points)It isn't always about how smart you are or how hard you tried. It isn't even always about how well your speech was written or how well you made your (66)______. Sometimes it's simply about how tall you are. That's right, how tall you are.

But it is rare to see this creature alive and moving, because it's gradually becoming extinct. The koala, like the kangaroo, is actually a marsupial (an animal which carries its babies in a pocket of skin on its body). It contains a small pouch for its young. For this reason, the koala is not related to true bears. In appearance, it is a combination of a monkey and a kangaroo. Koala is native to Australia, although they are now chiefly found in New South Wales and Queensland. The koala has been hunted since the middle of 20th century for fur and food. Today, anyone found harming a koala is severely punished by law. Koalas get their endearing appearance from a covering of gray fur and little tufts of white hair on the sides of their faces. Their eyes are small and black, set in their head. They have large ears and curved noses, but not tail. They use their arms and paws to climb through the trees. Koalas have interesting living habits. They are nocturnal, which means that they move around chiefly at night. Koalas do not stay on the ground. They move from tree to tree, carefully lowering and raising themselves by their paws. Koalas have a surprisingly long life span, which can range from 9 to 20 years, in rare cases. The koala is the only mammal, other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and low in nutrition, and to most animals are extremely poisonous. To cope with such a diet, nature has equipped koalas with specialized adaptations. A very slow metabolic rate allows koalas to retain food within their digestive system for a relatively long period of time, maximizing the amount of energy able to be extracted. At the same time, this slow metabolic rate minimizes energy requirements. Koalas also sleep somewhere between 18 and 22 hours each day in order to conserve energy. Koalas eat only the leaves of the eucalyptus, which is another reason that they are now becoming extinct. The eucalyptus tree is disappearing from their natural habitats, fighting a battle against extinction all its own. The koala's worst enemy, besides hunters, is fire. When a tree is inflamed, often they cannot run fast enough to save themselves. Baby koalas are in danger around certain kinds of lizards and eagles, although they are protected today by natural habitats set up for them. It is interesting to note that many koalas die from being hit by cars, and some are even attacked by dogs!

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements, For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Many now have been breathing hot flames at our industry and so I thought it would be time to say my piece this week, after all, we in the business cannot deny that it has been a rough spring for newspaper, editors and reporters. Ethical scandals great and small have soiled newsrooms from coast to coast. Everyone knows about the profound deceits of Jayson Blair at The New York Times, and the "Writergate" controversy involving Rick Bragg, which led to the departure of the two top editors at the paper. Other misdeeds have ranged from two reporters at. The Salt Lake Tribune selling information to The National Enquirer, to a food writter for The Hartford Courant fired for plagiarizing recipes. Are newspaper standards going to pot? Some say ethics are worse than ever or are they? The past is filled with people running photos of wrestlers in the sports section in exchange for money. In fact, ethical breaches may be less of a problem than 20 years ago. A lot of newspapers are cutting corners, but the standards in the business have improved. There were things going on in the past -- such as reporterswriting speeches for politicians they covered and taking bribes from lobbyists -- but people back then were quietly moved out or they left on their own. There was no public display. The industry as a whole is in trouble because, due to media concentration, people at the top,are taking out too much money and driving the profits up. The perception is that the real customers are not those who read the paper but those who buy the stock, which damages the profession.Some of this is about resource pressure. Copydesks are overloaded and there is not enough time and more reporters are having to report by phone. The larger the size of newspapers, the less communication between divisions there tends to be. Reporters don't climb the stairs anymore, they are highly-trained people who sit in their offices and write term papers and won't sully themselves going to a greasy housing project or stand out in the rain for a few hours. The economics of journalism along with technological changes has created an atmosphere of trying to get enormous amounts of information as rapidly as possible.

高分范文：On RespectAs human beings,we all crave the respect of others,which is coded into our DNA.If you show your respect for others, you are more likely to gain their respect.Just as the saying goes,“Respect others,and you will be respected”.It indicates the great significance of respecting others in our daily life.First and foremost,respecting others gives them confidence and encouragement,especially those who are not as good as you.Your respect can help them become upbeat and active,and even enhance their self-assurance.In addition,polite words help improve your interpersonal relationships to a large extent.As mentioned above,if your respect proves to be effective,people will show their respect for you,too,and it will benefit your social st but not least,respecting others is a symbol of high quality,which shows one’s good upbringing.Taking what has been discussed into consideration,it’s indisputable that all people are fond of being respected.It is so important for us to show our respect for others.Only in this way,can we earn the respect of others.全文翻译：作为人类，我们每个人都渴望得到他人的尊重,这是由我们的基因决定的。

Part I WritingFor this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write an essay entitled The Way toSuccess 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." You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.14分Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” In my opinion, this remark can be interpreted 解读in this way: If you want to successfully achieve a certain goal, you must be well prepared for it at first. A good preparation involves sufficient 充分的learning, good strategies, and a healthy mentality.To be well prepared, you must first equip yourself with the required knowledge and skills. Only in this way can you move smoothly in all kinds of tough and complex situations. In the process of preparation, you will formulate制定good strategies which can contribute to reducing the potential mistakes, thus leading to higher efficiency. Finally, you must learn to cultivate培养a healthy mentality. You must be fully prepared for the possible setbacks 挫折you may encounter 遇到and devote yourself wholeheartedly to whatever goal you pursue.In a word, success comes to those who are well prepared for it. The way to get prepared is also a way to improve yourself. By sparing no effort to “sharpen your axe”, you will successfully arrive at your destination.11分“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sh arpening the axe.” This remark of Abraham Lincoln’s may sound ridiculous at first, but it is actually right.In my opinion, the way to success is to make preparations before the final action, because good preparation can improve one’s efficiency. Sharpening the axe may take four hours, but it will only take us a short time to chop down a tree with a sharpened axe. Otherwise, it may require more than six hours’ time to finish the job as the axe is really ineffective.Good preparation means both tools and plan. Before we start to do something, we must have made a good plan in detail. A plan can help us to manage the time and resourses. When both tools and plan are ready, we will start to do our job with confidence.In conclusion, t he way to success is to prepare well. We can only pass the exam we have well prepared, we can only chop down a tree with a axe well prepared. Good preparation is the way to success.8分Abraham Lincoln used to made a remark on how to achieve success. He said, “give me six hours to ch op down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” This has revealed the importance of making preparation to the way to success.The knowledge and ability one need in order to do a great job is just an axe to chop down tree. Students either need varies kinds of skills or need to be very skillful in onearea in order to achieve their career success. However, some of us are just too eager to prove themselves. They are willing to find a job right after graduation, even start to take part in all kinds of unions and communities even when they are under-graduates.It’s the big time to learn knowledges and skills for us students. Only you have made yourself well prepared can you do a greater job on your way to success. Don’t think that making preparation will waste your time and influence the effect of your work. Sharper axe can chop much faster, so is good preparation in future career life.5分Every one has a dream to be a hero. But there are a few individuals can be success. That’s why? Maybe t hey could not find the best way to success.As Abraham Lincoln said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” We should find the best way to chose it. As to Lincoln, the best way is to prepare fully. And it is vital significance for fighting to success to ourselves.Firstly, the good preparing is the good beginning for completing the task. As we known, every building was built on the based subjects. The good beginning will help us to achieve the aims earlier and easier.Secondly, we can find both the advantages and disadvantages when we do preparing something. And then, we can do something to avoid the expression of disadvantages.As far as I am concerned, we should do fully preparing before starting a task. The preparing should be including the thoughts, the ananrys and others. Besides, we should find other ways fitting for ourselves and fight to success along the best way.2分Everyone want to success and everybody desir success, but in our world, although there are many people successed, also many people losed, so I think the successful people are find the way to success, and losed people can’t find the way to success. Why some people are successed. Because they are find the right way, then they hard work.The way to success. Should we persistent our right way. We can’t walk into the short way because the resualts is obvious we abosolute losed, like a children just can walk slowly, but the children want run, he must down.The success is give the person who prepared. The phrase is mean. If we have hard work and we find the right way we also need a very important thing, the thing is chance. In our world, everyone have same chance. Some people prepared and they catched the chance. So they are successed. When the chance came, some people not prepared and not catch the chance. They perhaps losed.All in All, the way to success like a challenge, the winner not won so easy. One pain, one gain.。

He wasn‘t very talkative, didn‘t answer questions and got into lots of fights. He had failed in almost every class. I met Ware for the first time at a weekend training program, which was designed to have students become more involved in their communities. Ware was one of 405 students who signed up for the program. When I showed up to lead them, the communities leaders gave me this overview(概况) of the attending students: ―We have different kinds of students today, from the student body president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.‖ Somehow, I knew that I wasn‘t the first to hear about Ware‘s dark side as the first words of introduction.At the start of the program, Ware was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall. He didn‘t readily join the discussion groups and seemed to have little to say. But slowly, the interactive（互动式的）games drew him in. The ice really melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. Ware had some definite thoughts on those situations. The other students in Ware‘s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden Ware felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense, and everyone was listening. Ware was a smart guy and had some great ideas. The next day, Ware was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the program, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. Impressed with his passionate(热情的)concern and ideas, the other students on the team elected Ware chairman of the team.Two weeks later, Ware led the team to collect food for needy families. In just two hours they collected 2,854 cans of food, which could support the poor family in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story and Ware‘s picture were posted on the main bulletin board at school. Every day he was reminded about what he did. He was being acknowledged as leadership material. Then Ware started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time.Ware‘s story reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it hashealed(痊愈), it can fly higher than the rest.( ) 1. By high school, T. J. Ware wasn‘t very talkative, didn‘t answer questions and got into lots of fights.( ) 2. T. J. Ware was one of 408 students who signed up for the program.( ) 3.The author was the first to hear about Ware‘s dark side as the first words of introduction. ( ) 4.

Passage OneWhen Berenice Belizaire arrived in New Y ork from Haiti with her mother and sister in 1987, she wasn‘t very happy. She spoke no English. The family had to live in a small and crowdedBrooklyn apartment, a far cry from the comfortable house they‘d had in Haiti. Her mother, a nurse, worked long hours. School was torture(折磨). Berenice had always been a good student, but now she was learning a new language while enduring constant taunts(嘲笑)from the Americans. They cursed(咒骂)her in the cafeteria and threw food at her. Someone hit her sister in the head with a book. ―Why can‘t we go home?‖ Berenice asked her mother.Because home was dangerous. The schools weren‘t always open anymore, and education---her mother insisted---was the most important thing. Her mother had always pushed her: memorize everything, she ordered. ―I have a pretty good memory,‖Berenice admitted last week. Indeed, the other kids at school began to notice that Berenice always, somehow, knew the answers.‖ They started coming to me for help,‖ she says. ―They never called me a nerd(书呆子).‖Within two years Berenice was speaking English, though not well enough to get into one of New Y ork‘s elite(精英)public high school. She had to settle for a neighborhood school, James Madison, a school with a history of unlikely success stories. ―I didn‘t realize what we had in Berenice at first,‖ says math teacher Judith Khan. ―She was good at math, but she was quiet. And the things she didn‘t know. She applied for a summer program in Buffalo and asked me how to get there on the subway. But she always seemed to ask the right questions. She understood the big ideas. She could think on her feet. She could explain difficult problems so the other kids could understand them. Eventually I realized she wasn‘t just pushing for grades, she was hungry for knowledge… And you know it never occurred to me that she also was doing well in English and history, all these subjects that had to be much tougher for her than math.‖51.

No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. Each autumn, thousands travel up to 3,000 km to spend the winter in the mountains of Mexico. There are so many, they almost block out the sky, and you can hear their wings beating.It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. After staying five months, they head back up north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die.Three generations of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north. But it hardly gets to rest before starting the long journey south to Mexico.The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same tree in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. Past studies have shown that the insects use the sun as a compass to show them the way. But experts are unsure how the butterflies change their directions as the sun moves in the sky.This new study now shows that the insects use a ―circadian(生理节奏的)‖clock in their bodies as part of their sun compass. In laboratory tests, monarch butterflies were found to fly in the right direction under normal daylight hours. But those flying in 24-hour light headed straight towards the sun. That is, they no longer had any sense of time.Scientist Steven Reppert, who led the research, said: ―We have shown the need for the circadian clock for monarch butterfly migration. When the clock is interrupted, monarchs are unable to fly towards Mexico.‖56. What is the focus of the passage?A. Monarch butterflies‘ yearly migration.B. The unique living style of monarch butterflies.C. The guidance of the sun in monarch butterflies‘ navigation.D. Monarch butterflies use body clocks as part of their sun compass.57. Which of the following statements is true about monarch butterflies?A. Each autumn they fly north to North America.B. In spring they fly south to Mexico.C. Only a few of them can finish the round trip.D. Their color is orange and black.58. The most surprising finding about the butterflies is that_______________________.A. not one butterfly finishes the whole-round tripB. they can find the same tree in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter beforeC. it takes as long as two months for the butterflies to fly to MexicoD. they use the sun as a compass59. What can be learned from the passage about past studies and the new discovery?A. Past studies discovered the new function of a body clock.B. The new study discovers the use of the sun as a compass.C. The new discovery throws light on an old mystery.D. Past studies showed how the butterflies could change direction.60. What was found in the laboratory?A. Monarch butterflies lost their sense of time.B. The sun was not important in their migration.C. Butterflies flying in 24-hour light lost their sense of time.D. Their body clocks were interrupted by the sun.Part V. Cloze (0.5 point each, 10 points) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

This enlightening remark points out clearly the way to be creative. If you want to be creative, you shouldn't be frightened of making mistakes. Being creative is not easy, because you have to think out of the box and keep on trying. Breaking away from established patterns which we used to be comfortable with requires lots of courage. Perhaps there is no example better than the story of Thomas Edison. In order to invent a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb, he tried thousands of different materials. After tons of failure, people began to mock at him and didn't believe that he could succeed. However, he stuck with it and finally made a great achievement. The light bulbs have greatly changed the world. When asked to comment on his failure, he said: "I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." To sum up, being creative is tough and calls for courage to defeat the fear of making mistakes. If you are afraid of being wrong, you'll never be creative.) 解析：解析：这是一篇观点阐释型的作文，要求考生就创意专家的话“如果你没做好犯错的准备，你就永远不会有创新”发表个人意见。

【范文】Should May Day Holiday Be Resumed to Seven Days?The week-long May Day Holiday was shortened to three days in 2007 so as to ease the burden of overcrowded tourist hotspots and add three traditional Chinese festivals like the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.However, some people are appealing to the Government for resuming the seven-day May Day Holiday. They claim that the significance of May Day is not only paying tribute to thousands of diligent workers, but also providing them an opportunity to get refreshed and get ready to welcome and embrace the coming work day with vibrancy and vigor. In that case, a three-day off, which is just one day more than normal weekend, would not make any difference to these people.
