2014年12月大学英语六级真题试卷（三） (题后含答案及解析)

题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension

5. Translation

Part I Writing

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the

picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and

then discuss what qualities an employer should look for in job applicants. You should

give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more

than 200 words.

正确答案： Degrees Are More Important than Abilities? In the

cartoon, an employer expresses his pity to the young interviewee with a master’s

degree. Although the graduate has an impressive resume, he fails the interview, for his

competitors are all Ph. D. s. The picture proves that nowadays interviewers place

greater emphasis upon education background. I, however, assume the ability of job

applicants should gain more attention. There are three main reasons to support

this view. First and foremost, education background is only a measure of one’s ability,

and the cart should not be put before the horse. Besides, in the sole pursuit of

high-level education, companies are likely to miss really talented people, who may

drop out of school because of financial difficulties or other reasons. For example,

Steven Jobs, a real innovator, did not finish his college but started Apple; Bill Gates,

one of the richest men on earth, quitted the university, too. One’s talents cannot be

only measured by education background. Finally, most of the companies do not

specialize in the cutting-edge science, hence, doctors will be a total waste there.

In conclusion, I believe job applicants should not be evaluated only by their education

background and the recruiters are supposed to appreciate the talents and abilities

more.

Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A

听力原文：M; What do you think of the government’s new tax cut proposal?W:

Though it may give some benefit to the poor, its key component is the elimination of

tax on dividends. That means the rich will get richer. Q: What does the woman think

of the government’s tax cut proposal?

2．

A．It will mainly benefit the wealthy.

B．It will stimulate business activities.

C．It will reduce government revenues.

D．It will cut the stockholders’ dividends.

正确答案：A

解析：从女士话中的Though可知，她认为减少税收不会给穷人带来多大好处，相反富人会变得更加富有. 本题听音关键词是That means．答案就是其后的the rich will get richer。the rich与A)中的thewealthy是同义转述，故答案为A)。

听力原文：M: Jenny, remember this: a job worth doing at all is worth doing

well.W; Oh, yes. I certainly won’t forget it. But don’t expect me to stick to the job just

because it pays a few more bucks. A life of continuous exploration is a life worth

living. Q: What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation?

3．

A．She doesn’t think much of job-hopping.

B．She will stick to the job if the pay is good.

C．She prefers a life of continued exploration.

D．She will do her best if the job is worth doing.

正确答案：C

解析：But后面的信息是听音重点，其中关键在于理解A life of continuous

exploration is a lifeworth living这句话是沿用了男士话中的句式：a job worth doing

at all is worth doing well．这里男士在规劝女士踏实下来，好好工作。从女士话中的But可知，她对此持不同的观点.女士认为只有continuous exploration“不断探索”才是值得的人生，故答案为C)。

听力原文：M: I found that one of my schoolmates uses drugs. How can I help

him, Mom?W: Stay away from him, Son. Never think that you can talk him out of the

habit if he is addicted. But perhaps you can talk to your teacher about the matter. Q:

What’s the woman’s advice to her son?

4．

A．Talk the drug user out of the habit.

B．Stop thinking about the matter.

C．Keep his distance from drug addicts.

D．Be more friendly to his schoolmate.

正确答案：C

解析：对话中男孩就同学吸毒问题向母亲征询意见。女士明确告诉孩子：离他远一点儿，如果那个人吸毒上瘾了，绝不要认为自己能够说服他戒掉吸毒的习惯。talk…out of the habit意为”劝……戒掉……习惯”；C)中的Keep…distance from与对话中的Stay away from属同义转述，故答案为C)．

听力原文：W: I don’t know how you can eat so much yet never put on any

weight, Son. Your father’s got the same luck. I can’t take a bite without calculating

how many calories I am taking.M: But remember Aunt Louise, Mom? She ate a lot

and never gained a pound. Q: Who is worried about gaining weight?

5．

A．The son.

B．Aunt Louise.

C．The father.

D．The mother.

正确答案：D

解析：从女士的话中可知，她儿子吃得很多，可是体重却不增加，父亲与儿子体质相同，也是光吃不胖。她儿子提到Aunt Louise也是这样。但是，女士自己却要计算着卡路里来摄入食物，可见只有Mom担心gaining weight，故答案为D)。

听力原文：W; Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?M:

Yes, I told the Johnsons we’d be gone for two weeks. They promised to keep an eye

on the house for us. Q: What are the two speakers going to do?
