2015年12月英语六级翻译、作文预测、常用词汇总结中国市场经济的发展而迅速增长。

因此，那些追求物质生活的人们只要有购买力，就不可避免地会购买奢侈品。

一项报告显示，中国的奢侈品消费总额占全球市场份额的四分之一，且位居世界第二，仅次于日本。

然而，从消费观念方面来讲，很多中国的消费者还处在“炫耀性消费”的阶段，这是一种不健康的状态。

奢侈品不应该是炫耀的手段，或者是与权力、财富和社会关系相关的标志。

As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long as they can afford. According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan. However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.《红楼梦》由曹雪芹和高鹗所著。

In fact, one in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent “Plans for 2004” survey. Their career path may be financially rewarding, but it doesn’t meet their emotional, social or creative needs. They’re stuck, unhappy, and have no idea what to do about it, except move to another job.Mary Lyn Miller, veteran career consultant and founder of the Life and Career Clinic, says that when most people are unhappy about their work, their first thought is to get a different job. Instead, Miller suggests looking at the possibility of a different life. Through her book, 8 Myths of Making a Living, as well as workshops, seminars and personal coachingand consulting, she has helped thousands of dissatisfied workers reassess life and work.Like the way of Zen, which includes understanding of oneself as one really is, Miller encourages job seekers and those dissatisfied with work or life to examine their beliefs about work and recognize that “in many cases your beliefs are what brought you to where you are today.” You may have been raised to think that women were best at nurturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So that’s what you did. Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist “just like dad.” If this sounds familiar, it’s probably time to look at the new possibilities for your future.Miller developed a 7-step process to help potential job seekers assess their current situation and beliefs, identify their real passion, and start on a journey that allows them to pursue their passion through work.Step 1: Willingness to do something different.Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult tasks for job seekers. Many find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a change, even if it doesn’t feel right. Miller urges job seekers to open their minds to other possibilities beyond what they are currently doing.Step 2: Commitment to being who you are, not who or what someone wants you to be.Look at the \gifts and talents you have and make a commitment to pursue those things that you love most. If you love the social aspects of your job, but are stuck inside an office or “chained to your desk” most of the time, vow to follow your instinct and investigate alternative careers and work that allow you more time to interact with others. Dawn worked as a manager for a large retail clothing store for several years. Though she had advanced within the company, she felt frustrated and longed to be involved with nature and the outdoors. She decided to go to school nights and weekends to pursue her true passion by earning her master’s degree in forestry. She now works in the biotech forestry division of a major paper company.Step 3: Self-definitionMiller suggests that once job seekers know who they are, they need to know how to sell themselves. “In the job market, you are a product. And just like a product, you most know the features and benefits that you have to offer a potential client, or employer.” Examine the skills and knowledge that you have identify how they can apply to your desired occupation. Your qualities will exhibit to employers why they should hireyou over other candidates.Step 4: Attain a level of self-honoring.Self-honoring or self-love may seem like an odd step for job hunters, but being able to accept yourself, without judgment, helps eliminate insecurities and will make you more self-assured. By accepting who you are – all your emotions, hopes and dreams, your personality, and your unique way of being –you’ll project more confidence when networking and talking with potential employers. The power of self-honoring can help to break all the falsehoods you were programmed to believe –those that made you feel that you were not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough to do what you truly desire. Step 5: Vision.Miller suggests that job seekers develop a vision that embraces the answer to “What do I really want to do?” one should create a solid statement in a dozen or so sentences that describe in detail how they see their life related to work. For instance, the secretary who longs to be an actress describes a life that allows her to express her love of Shakespeare on stage. A real estate agent, attracted to his current job because her loves fixing up old homes, describes buying properties that need a little tender loving care to make them more saleable.Step 6: Appropriate risk.Some philosophers believe that the way to enlightenment comes through facing obstacles and difficulties. Once people discover their passion, many are too scared to do anything about it. Instead, they do nothing. With this step, job seekers should assess what they are willing to give up, or risk, in pursuit of their dream. For one working mom, that meant taking night classes to learn new computer-aided design skills, while still earning a salary and keeping her day job. For someone else, it may mean quitting his or her job, taking out loan and going back to school full time. You’ll move one step closer to your ideal work life if you identify how much risk you are willing to take and the sacrifices you are willing to make.Step 7: Action.Some teachers of philosophy describe action in this way, “If one wants to get to the top of a mountain, just sitting at the foot thinking about it will not bring one there. It is by making the effort of climbing up the mountain, step by step, that eventually the summit is reached.” All too often, it is the lack of action that ultimately holds people back from attaining their ideals. Creating a plan and taking it one step at a time can lead to new and different job opportunities. Job-hunting tasks gain added meaning as you sense their importance in your quest for a moremeaningful work life. The plan can include researching industries and occupations, talking to people who are in your desired area of work, taking classes, or accepting volunteer work in your targeted field.Each of these steps will lead you on a journey to a happier and more rewarding work life. After all, it is the journey, not the destination, that is most important.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of themthere are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree, is by his success raising new doubts about the worth ofthe business world’s favorite academic title: the MBA (Master of Business Administration).The MBA, a 20th-century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed (贪婪) on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates, about 79,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 1993. This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960, a testimony to the wide spread assumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day.“If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have one,”said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. “But in the last five years or so, when someone says, ‘Should I attempt to get an MBA,’ the answer a lot more is: It depends.”The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught.The Harvard Business Review printed a lively, fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders.The article called MBA hires “extremely disappointing” and said “MBAs want to move up too fast, they don’t understand politics and people, and they aren’t able to function as part of a team until their third year. But by then, they’re out looking for other jobs.”The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is that the MBA has acquired an aura (光环) of future riches and power far beyond its actual importance and usefulness.Enrollment in business schools exploded in the 1970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do without one. The growth was fueled by a backlash (反冲) against the anti-business values of the 1960s and by the women’s movement.Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees of ten know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people. “They don’t get a lot of grounding in the people side of the business”, said James Shaffer, vice-president and principal of the Towers Perrin management consulting firm.21. According to Paragraph 2, what is the general attitude towards businesson campuses dominated by purer disciplines?A) Scornful.B) Appreciative.C) Envious.D) Realistic.22. It seems that the controversy over the value of MBA degrees had beenfueled mainly by ________.A) the complaints from various employersB) the success of many non-MBAsC) the criticism from the scientists of purer disciplinesD) the poor performance of MBAs at work23. What is the major weakness of MBA holders according to the HarvardBusiness Review?A) They are usually self-centered.B) They are aggressive and greedy.C) They keep complaining about their jobs.D) They are not good at dealing with people.24. From the passage we know that most MBAs ________.A) can climb the corporate ladder fairly quicklyB) quit their jobs once they are familiar with their workmatesC) receive salaries that do not match their professional trainingD) cherish unrealistic expectations about their future25. What is the passage mainly about?A) Why there is an increased enrollment in MBA programs.B) The necessity of reforming MBA programs in business schools.C) Doubts about the worth of holding an MBA degree.D) A debate held recently on university campuses.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.When school officials in Kalkaska, Michigan, closed classes last week, the media flocked to the story, portraying the town’s 2,305 students as victims of stingy (吝啬的) taxpayers. There is some truth to that; the property-tax rate here is one-third lower than the state average. But shutting their schools also allowed Kalkask’s educators and the state’s largest teachers’ union, the Michigan Education Association, to make a political point. Their aim was to spur passage of legislation Michigan lawmakers are debating to increase the state’s share of school funding.It was no coincidence that Kalkaska shut its schools two weeks after residents rejected a 28 percent property-tax increase. The school board argued that without the increase it lacked the $1.5 million needed to keep schools open.But the school system had not done all it could to keep the schools open. Officials declined to borrow against next year’s state aid, they refused to trim extra curricular activities and they did not consider seeking a smaller—perhaps more acceptable—tax increase. In fact, closing early is costing Kalkaska a significant amount, including $600,000 in unemployment payments to teachers and staff and $250,000 in lost state aid. In February, the school system promised teachers and staff two months of retirement payments in case schools closed early, a deal that will cost the district $275,000 more.Other signs suggest school authorities were at least as eager to make a political statement as to keep schools open. The Michigan Education Association hired a public relations firm to stage a rally marking the school closing, which attracted 14 local and national television stations and networks. The president of the National Education Association, the MEA’s parent organization, flew from Washington, D. C., for the event. And the union tutored school officials in the art of television interviews. School supervisor Doyle Disbrow acknowledges the district could have kept schools open by cutting programs but denies the moves were politically motivated.Michigan lawmakers have reacted angrily to the closings. The state Senate has al ready voted to put the system into receivership (破产管理) and reopen schools immediately; the Michigan House plans to consider the bill this week.26. We learn from the passage that schools in Kalkaska, Michigan, are funded________.A) by both the local and state governmentsB) exclusively by the local governmentC) mainly by the state governmentD) by the National Education Association27. One of the purposes for which school officials closed classes was________.A) to avoid paying retirement benefits to teachers and staffB) to draw the attention of local taxpayers to political issuesC) to make the financial difficulties of their teachers and staff knownto the publicD) to pressure Michigan lawmakers into increasing state funds for localschools28. The author seems to disapprove of ________.A) the Michigan lawmakers’ endless debatingB) the shutting of schools in KalkaskaC) the involvement of the mass mediaD) delaying the passage of the school funding legislation29. We learn from the passage that school authorities in Kalkaska areconcerned about ________.A) a raise in the property-tax rate in MichiganB) reopening the schools there immediatelyC) the attitude of the MEA’s parent organizationD) making a political issue of the closing of the schools30. According to the passage, the closing of the schools developed into acrisis because of ________.A) the complexity of the problemB) the political motives on the part of the educatorsC) the weak response of the state officialsD) the strong protest on the part of the students’ parentsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.German Chancellor (首相) Otto Von Bismarck may be most famous for his military and diplomatic talent, but his legacy (遗产) includes many of today’s social insurance programs. During the middle of the 19th century, Germany, along with other European nations, experienced an unprecedented rash of workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization. Motivated in part by Christian compassion (怜悯) for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the world’s first workers’compensation law in 1884.By 1908, the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked workers’ compensation insurance. America’s injured workers could sue for damages in a court of law, but they still faced a number of tough legal barriers. For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential hazards in the workplace. The first state workers’compensation law in this country passed in 1911, and the program soon spreadthroughout the nation.After World War II, benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living. In fact, real benefit levels were lower in the 1970s than they were in the 1940s, and in most states the maximum benefit was below the poverty level for a family of four. In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a national commission to study the problems of workers’compensation. Two years later, the commission issued 19 key recommendations, including one that called for increasing compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states’ average weekly wages.In fact, the average compensation benefit in America has climbed from 55 percent of the states’ average weekly wages in 1972 to 97 percent today. But, as most studies show, every 10 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 per cent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims. And with so much more money floating in the workers’ compensation system, it’s not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to a large slice of the growing pie.31. The world’s first workers’ compensation law was introduced by Bismarck________.A) to make industrial production saferB) to speed up the pace of industrializationC) out of religious and political considerationsD) for fear of losing the support of the socialist labor movement32. We learn from the passage that the process of industrialization in Europe________.A) was accompanied by an increased number of workshop accidentsB) resulted in the development of popular social insurance programsC) required workers to be aware of the potential dangers at the workplaceD) met growing resistance from laborers working at machines33. One of the problems the American injured workers faced in gettingcompensation in the early 19th century was that ________.A) they had to have the courage to sue for damages in a court of lawB) different states in the U.S. had totally different compensationprogramsC) America’s average compensation benefit was much lower than the costof livingD) they had to produce evidence that their employers were responsiblefor the accident34. After 1972 workers’ compensation insurance in the U.S. became morefavorable to workers so that ________.A) the poverty level for a family of four went up drasticallyB) there were fewer legal barriers when they filed for claimsC) the number of workers suing for damages increasedD) more money was allocated to their compensation system35. The author ends the passage with the implication that ________.A) compensation benefits in America are soaring to new heightsB) the workers are not the only ones to benefit from the compensationsystemC) people from all walks of life can benefit from the compensation systemD) money floating in the compensation system is a huge drain on the U.S.economyPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Early in the age of affluence (富裕) that followed World War II, an American retailing analyst named Victor Lebow proclaimed, “Our enormously productive economy... We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”Americans have responded to Lebow’s call, and much of the world has followed.Consumption has become a central pillar of life in industrial lands and is even embedded in social values. Opinion surveys in the world’s two largest economies—Japan and the United States—show consumerist definitions of success becoming ever prevalent.Overconsumption by the world’s fortunate is an environmental problem unmatched in severity by anything but perhaps population growth. Their surging exploitation of resources threatens to exhaust or unalterably spoil forests, soils, water, air and climate.Ironically, high consumption may be a mixed blessing in human terms, too. The time-honored values of integrity of character, good work, friendship, family and community have often been sacrificed in the rush to riches.Thus many in the industrial lands have a sense that their world of plenty is somehow hollow—that, misled by a consumerist culture, they have been fruitlessly attempting to satisfy what are essentially social, psychological and spiritual needs with material things.Of course, the opposite of over-consumption—poverty—is no solutionto either environmental or human problems. It is infinitely worse for people and bad for the natural world too. Dispossessed (被剥夺得一无所有的) peasants slash-and-burn their way into the rain forests of Latin America, and hungry nomads (游牧民族) turn their herds out onto fragile African grassland, reducing it to desert.If environmental destruction results when people have either too little or too much, we are left to wonder how much is enough. What level of consumption can the earth support? When does having more cease to add noticeably to human satisfaction?36. The emergence of the affluent society after World War II ________.A) gave birth to a new generation of upper class consumersB) gave rise to the dominance of the new egoismC) led to the reform of the retailing systemD) resulted in the worship of consumerism37. Apart from enormous productivity, another important impetus to highconsumption is ________.A) the conversion of the sale of goods into ritualsB) the people’s desire for a rise in their living standardsC) the imbalance that has existed between production and consumptionD) the concept that one’s success is measured by how much they consume38. Why does the author say high consumption is a mixed blessing?A) Because poverty still exists in an affluent society.B) Because moral values are sacrificed in pursuit of materialsatisfaction.C) Because overconsumption won’t last long due to unrestrictedpopulation growth.D) Because traditional rituals are often neglected in the process ofmodernization.39. According to the passage, consumerist culture ________.A) cannot thrive on a fragile economyB) will not aggravate environmental problemsC) cannot satisfy human spiritual needsD) will not alleviate poverty in wealthy countries40. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) human spiritual needs should match material affluenceB) there is never an end to satisfying people’s material needsC) whether high consumption should be encouraged is still an issueD) how to keep consumption at a reasonable level remains a problemPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

2015年12月英语六级翻译、作文预测、常用词汇总结中国市场经济的发展而迅速增长。

因此，那些追求物质生活的人们只要有购买力，就不可避免地会购买奢侈品。

一项报告显示，中国的奢侈品消费总额占全球市场份额的四分之一，且位居世界第二，仅次于日本。

然而，从消费观念方面来讲，很多中国的消费者还处在“炫耀性消费”的阶段，这是一种不健康的状态。

奢侈品不应该是炫耀的手段，或者是与权力、财富和社会关系相关的标志。

As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long as they can afford. According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan. However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.《红楼梦》由曹雪芹和高鹗所著。

2015年6月大学英语六级考试翻译题目15(第一套) 中国传统的待客之道要求饭菜丰富多样，让客人吃不完。

中国宴席上典型的菜单包括开席的一套凉菜及其后的热菜，例如肉类、鸡鸭、蔬菜等。

大多数宴席上，全鱼被认为是必不可少的，除非已经上过各式海鲜。

如今，中国人喜欢把西方特色菜与传统中式菜肴融于一席，因此牛排上桌也不少见。

沙拉也已流行起来，尽管传统上中国人一般不吃任何未经烹饪的菜肴。

宴席通常至少有一道汤，可以最先上或最后上桌。

甜点和水果通常标志宴席的结束。

The traditional Chinese hospitality requires that the foods are so diverse that guests cann’t eat up all the dishes. A typical Chinese banquet menu includes cold at the beginning, follow ed by hot dishes, such as meat, poultry, vegetables and so on. At most banquets, the whole fish is considered to be essential, unless various kinds of sea foods have been served. Nowadays , Chinese people would like to combine the Western specialties with the traditional Chinese dishes. Therefore, it is not rare to see steak being served. Salad is catching on, although traditionally Chinese people generally do not eat any food without cooking. There is usually at least a soup, served either at the beginning or in the end of the banquet. Dessert s and fruits usually mark the end of the banquet.hospitality n.招待，款待poultry n. 家禽banquet n.宴席specialty n.专业，特长；特色菜2015.6(第二套) 2011年是中国城市化（urbanization）进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。

2015年6月英语四级翻译参考译文及预测题一、翻译原文：越来越多来自北京、上海、广州、沈阳和其他一些大城市的大学生选择毕业后就结婚。

这与20世纪80年代和90年代的情况形成了鲜明的对比，那时候很多城市的年轻人都推迟结婚，直到他们的年龄“足够大”—在30多岁甚至40多岁的时候。

许多人花时间寻找有着良好的经济背景或好看的相貌的配偶，而不是寻找爱情。

然而，这些选择毕业后就结婚的学生的父母必须照顾这些小夫妻的日常起居，因为这些年轻人仍然在探索如何作为一家人来生活。

参考译文：University students in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang and some other big cities are increasingly choosing to get married right after graduating. This is in sharp contrast to the situation in the 1980s and 1990swhen many urban youngsters put off marriage until they were “old enough”一in their 30s or even 40s.Many spent their time looking for spouses with good economic backgrounds or attractive faces, instead of looking for love. However, parents of these students choosing to get married right after graduating hav e to take care of the couples …daily affairs, as the young people are still figuring out how to live as a family.二、翻译原文：大多数时候，留守儿童(leftover children)的问题很大程度上源于缺乏父母的情感关怀。

2015.6_新东方六级模拟试卷_试题参考答案及听力原文听力原文及答案2015年3月大学英语六级考试模拟题Part I Writing 写作范文As is depicted in the picture, an employer is refusing a female job applicant on the spot, because he prefers to hiring male employees. He said some sympathetic words to the disappointed young lady. However, the girl seems to be badly hurt by his denial, holding her resume and crying a lot.As far as I’m concerned, when choosing a prospective employee, an employer is not supposed to focus on the gender of job applicants. Firstly, it’s much wiser for an employer to lay emphasis on qualifications and abilities of job applicants, not their gender. Secondly, with innate qualities like being careful, considerate and sympathetic, female employees can do most jobs well, or as well as men do. Thirdly, female employees will play a bigger role than male counterparts do in building a harmonious working environment, because they are naturally born experts at dealing interpersonal relationships.In consequence, employees shouldn’t be chosen based on gender. It’s his or her abilities and potentials that a boss should look for in a job applicant. Another thing an employer is expected to do is to create opportunities for employees and bring their abilities into full play.Part II Listening Comprehension 听力原文Section A1. M: I think I should buy a new mouse for my laptop. It doesn’t work properly either.W: Why not a new computer?Q: What does the woman mean?2. W: Michael, you’re still reading that novel here. Aren’t you supposed to be present in your physics class?M: We’re told that our physics teacher was ill last night.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?3. M: Mark invited me to his wedding ceremony on Saturday. Have you got his invitation now?W: Yes, of course, I’ll be there. You know, I’ll be the maid of honor to his beautiful future wife at his wedding.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?4. M: I’m afraid I can’t take it anymore. The bad tooth you’re fixing really hurts.W: Just hold on a little bit. It’ll be ok soon. I’ll give you some pills to lessen your pain.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?5. M: I want to know what happened to our son’s flight. It should have been here thirty min utes ago. But, look, it’s already 10:00 o’clock. It makes me nervous when thinking about those air crashes happening lately.W: Don’t carry it too far. The announcement says it’s forty minutes late. Flights always arrive behind the scheduled time at this time of the year.Q: What will the flight arrive?6. W: Fanny is pretty and gentle. Believe it or not, she’s still single now. I worry about her.M: No need to worry about her. She seems to be very popular among boy students now.Q: What does the man mean?7. M: Finals are coming up in a row. I have to work day and night to make up for what I’ve missed during the wholesemester.W: I’d told you not to indulge yourself too much in playing computer games at the very beginning of this semester. But, you just turned a deaf ear to my words.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?8. W: Yesterday, I was surprised to see Mertle back in our dormitory from the winter holiday. You know, three days earlier.M: Wow! She’s famous for arriving at school on the last day of registeration for the last three years in college.Q: What does the man imply about Mertle?Conversation OneW: According to report, the number of workplace discrimination concerning race and ethnicity has been increasing for the last decade. As we observe Martin Luther King Jr Day, that’s time to consider.M: Yes, we Americans have much to do to build a world described by Martin Luther King. In other words, we haven’t achieved anything like the socially just and equal society.W: Lawsuits of racial discrimination at the workplace increase in number. But, still we haven’t heading in the direction to solve the racial discrimination completely. Almost 50 years has passed since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. We can’t say America is not clear of racial discrimination.M: But, on the positive side, racism in American society is less harsh and widespread now than it’s even been in our history.W: However, nowadays social discrimination takes forms that are much less obvious than decades ago. That’s to say, racial discrimination is hard to be detected and punished in due time.M: So, the present system of discrimination law can’t function well in fighting against racial discrimination, particularlyso when it comes to workplace discrimination.W: Spe aking of workplace discrimination, let’s start with employment discrimination. The present legal system needs to be reformed to tackle the root cause of employment discrimination.M: In my opinion, the toot cause of employment discrimination is the founding principles of American business, that is, at-will employment. Most Americans are employed at-will, which means their employers can take or fire them whenever and for what reason they want.W: Of course, employers won’t fire employees for excuses which Congress declares illegal, like race, color, religion, gender and national origin.M: But, employers can find other excuses to fire someone they don’t want to have, such as weight, appearance, clothes, even hairstyle.W: Employers can easily find these seemingly just causes for firing employees. So, it’s hard for an employee to fight back. This is the ugly reality at the workplace.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What’s the favorable result of the passage of the Civil Rights Act?10. How does the man see the present system of discrimination laws?11. What’s the root cause of employment discrimination?Conversation TwoW: I heard you are a rock climbing fan. In this time of winter, are you still do rock climbing outdoors? It’s cold and wet, not ideal weather for climbing cliffs.M: Yes, I’m a big sports fan. I find rock climbing very exciting and diverting. In winter, I will choose indoor rock climbing in a gym. It’s the first of its kind in Seattle.W: Really?! When did it start? I never heard about it before.M: The gym started in 1988 when there were only few fans in this city. It’s named as the Eagle Indoors Rock Climbing Gym. Maybe someday you can have a try there yourself.W: How many members are there now in the gym? Are there any female members?M: There’re 5000 people who actively participate in the sport. Of course, there’re many excellent female athletes in this gym. The lead instructors of the gym have great plans for the gym.W: How wonderful! Tell me something about those plans.M: The gym is meant to put itself at the center of the growing rock climbing in America, even working with gym members on a blog for rock climbing, and helping to organize trips to rock climbing sites in nearby states.W: Wow, that’s gr eat! I wonder why fans like you are so interested in rock climbing?M: For one thing, it helps to build your body without doubt. Besides, it helps develop a stronger sense of will power. Finally, it’s a great way for me to make a lot of adventurous friends in the process. That’s why it’s addictive to us fans.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. When did the gym concerned start in Seattle?13. How many female athletes participate in rock climbing in the gym now?14. What’s mentioned in the gym’s future plans?15. Why do gym members love rock climbing so much?Section BPassage OneAre you fed up with struggling to express your thoughts and opinions? These days, people want to talk and not listen! No one wants to be a shadow in the crowd. Having your thoughts and opinions heard is a priority. The very achievement of being able to express yourself, and more importantly, be listened to is an extremely rewarding feeling. Just how can you express your ideas and opinions clearly and maintain that you are being listened to?Below are two strategies that will help you to voice your opinions and ideas:First, you should know what your aim is. Make sure that before attempting to open your mouth and the words begin to flow, you are 100% clear on the ideas that need to be expressed. Knowing where you want to go with the conversation will help to give you that extra confidence boost. When your audience can see that you are confident then they will be more alert and want to listen.Second, you are supposed to ignore the definition of perfection. Just sit and ask yourself, exactly what is perfect? Is there anyone out there that is 100% perfect? The fact is that we are only human and not one of us is without flaw. A small error is acceptable; there’s no need to be perfect to the point that you begin to struggle voicing your opinion! As long as you know the topic of importance, a simple error can be overlooked.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.Why do people want to talk and not listen these days?17. How can a speaker boost his confidence during aconversation?18. How does the speaker view making a mistake when speaking?Passage TwoWhat if there was a miracle pill that if you took it each day would give you a 30% less chance of getting heart disease, and a 50% less chance of diabetes, and would help you live longer and healthier into old age. Wouldn’t you insist your children, parents, and loved ones take it, too?The miracle cure: put on your walking shoes for an hour a day and you will reap all of these health benefits, according to recent health studies published in major medical journals.Results from the 20-year long Nurse’s Health Study have shown significant decreases in occurrence of breast cancer and Type II diabetes in women who engaged in brisk walking or other vigorous exercise for seven hours a week, and as little as three hours a week for heart disease reduction. In this study, brisk walking was defined as 3-3.9 miles per hour, or 15-20 minutes per mile. This is really just a purposeful walking for most people.An hour a day, or a total of seven hours a week, is associated with decreased risk for breast cancer and Type II diabetes. As little as a half hour a day, or three hours a week, is associated with decreased risk of heart disease.Is it too late if you wait until you are 55? Studies have shown decreased risk of death in older men and women who walk regularly, so my reply would be to start now and never stop! Besides, don’tforget to add walking, exercise, and healthier eating to your life.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have justheard.19. What’s the miracle pill discussed in the passage?20. What does the 20-year long study find?21. When is the proper time for one to start doing exercises?Passage ThreeAmerican Indians have a proud heritage and find strength there to renew their cultures. They are, as a people, generally both proud to be American and proud soldiers for this country. At any Indian gathering, the first people onto the dance floor, or introduced politically, or recognized for contributions to the tribe are the elder male veterans, then the elder women, then all other veterans, and only then people who have not served in the US military.Indian People have many problems to solve, but new social services, generally run and funded by the tribes themselves, along with new recognition of Indian People’s contributions to society, are ways that tribes and individuals are trying to change things.Today, many Indian tribes are seeing a great development, such as in California, with government programs working to reunite urban Indians with both their reservation families and other urban tribal members; programs set up both by the tribe themselves to teach their languages and open schools that focus on a tribal way of life.Most tribes have been granted some limited power in self governance as well, significantly in the area of the sentencing of tribal members in various criminal and civil issues. Special tax breaks have helped Indian people and Indian reservations become more self-sufficient. Laws have been enacted in some States that give Indians special privileges in allowing gambling inthe form of slot machines and other gaming, resulting in economic gains but with increased addictive behavior, and at the expense of spiritual and social values.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Who enjoys the priority to be introduced first at an Indian gathering?23. What could help to solve the problems Indian people are facing?24. What happened to Indian people in California?25. How does the author consider gambling in Indian tribes?Section CI’m pretty sure we all have people in our lives that we are greatly thankful for. I’m sure you can think of a few off the top of your head. I have more than I can 26. count. However, it is very rare that I actually communicate my gratitude to the people I 27. care about in my heart. I know I am supposed to be more 28. intentional about letting people know when they impact me in a 29. positive way, but I rarely take the time to extend my gratitude.One of the hardest parts about expressing gratitude for me, especially to other guys, is thedifficulty of 30. getting over the awkwardness it takes to randomly send someone a message of thanks. It is easy after I have recently 31. interacted with them; however, many of the people I’m extremely grateful for I do not see very often. I actually received an email 32. unexpectedly from a really good friend. It was a simple thanks note for being a friend but it was very 33. encouraging. In addition, the subtle joy of a quick message was just enough to 34. motivate me to pass along some gratitude myself.Who are you grateful for? I know we have moved past the traditional thankfulness season, but I think it is worth extending and possibly building lasting habits of being grateful. Have you let the people you care about know recently how much you 35. appreciate them? Do you think it is possible that unexpressed gratitude can actually communicate ingratitude?答案1. B2. A3. B4.C5.
