As a result, teachers are now managed on the basis of students’ evaluation, which has aroused disputes. Many people agree that students’ opinions and evaluations of teachers are crucial to both the teaching process and the teacher-student relationship. For one thing, the teacher may reflect on his teaching, and then change accordingly. For another, mutual understanding is likely to be enhanced. However, many experts worry that some students’ judgements of their teachers are rather subjective, even strongly biased. To make things worse, some students take it as a game—”Anyway, my ideas do not count.”If so, nobody will benefit from the valueless feedback. As far as I’m concerned, students’ views should be taken into account, but not as a decisive factor in evaluation of a teacher. We used to relate the evaluation to the employment of a teacher, but if we take advantage of the evaluation as a guide, things will be much better.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:M: Mara, where were you yesterday evening?

大学英语六级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷179(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. Reading Comprehension 4. TranslationPart I Writing1.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 how to get rid of this phenomenon. 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:Caution, Diploma Mills As is shown in the picture, a representative from a private higher learning institution is trying to recruit a student with a big cage the way a hunter does to his prey. What this picture wants to convey is that nowadays some unqualified colleges, also called diploma mills, are trying to recruit more students despite their own accreditation. A diploma mill sells college diplomas that require little or no academic work. Usually these un-reputable, unaccredited colleges love to prey on those suffering a setback in National College Entrance Examination. In most cases, these students are helpless and eager to catch any opportunity to further education. Hence it is easy for these colleges to take advantage of them. What’s more, it’s no wonder parents and students fell into that trap from time to time since these colleges are titled elegant names, and boast hosting one of the most renowned faculties in the world. In my opinion, scrutiny, regulation and law enforcement involving diploma mills should be honed and enhanced. Besides, parents and students themselves should be more alert and make a thorough investigation before deciding on which university to attend.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:W: Good afternoon, Dr. Bishop. Do you have a couple of minutes? You see, I have some difficulty with my project. M: Sure. You have about 10 minutes before I leave for my lecture. What is your problem? W: Our team has finished the observations of the children. Should we just put the notes down or should we do some further research and draw a conclusion? M: Well, first, you mentioned children.(1)What I require is to make observations of the same child, at different time and different locations. W: Oh dear! We must have misunderstood the requirement. Does that mean we must do the observations from the very beginning? M: I’m afraid so.(2)Then, after that, what you need to do is to study your notes, and see what kindof behavior is influenced by the environment and what kind of behavior is not affected. You should put your findings in the paper and you also need to find published theories that support your conclusion. W: Dr. Bishop, is it possible that we submit the paper a few days later, just in case that we can’t make it? M:(3-1)The deadline I put in the assignment is for the presentation. You may need to make some amendments before handing in the paper. W: Presentation? What’s wrong with us? No one in our team has ever mentioned the presentation. There is no way we can make the deadline! M:(4)If everyone in your team shares the assignment, say each works on a chapter of the paper, then one takes the job of editing PPT and one prepares for the oral presentation, and if you all work hard enough, (3-2)I’m sure you can make the deadline.

How can I be of assistance?M: You see, I’m a first-year student here and I missed my orientation.(5)Before I attend my first lecture, I need to finish the reading assignment of my professor and I really don’t know how to locate them in the library. W: OK. Let me take a look. It’s really a long list. Maybe the computerized catalog can save you some time. M: You mean the computers like this?W: Yes. You can find the computer terminals on each floor. Let me show you how to use the system. M: OK. Thank you. W: Before you start to search the whereabouts of a book, you need to know at least some accurate information of the book, like the author or the title.(6)First, log in the system with your student ID, then put the information in the box. Press the search button. You can see clearly where the book is now. M: I see.(7)So this means the book Introductory Psychology I need is on the second floor of the east wing? W: Yes.M: What does this red-letter word “ reserved” mean? W: Oh, this means that you can only read the book in the library and you can’t take them out.(8)Usually requirements like this are made by the professor so that all the students can have a chance to read the book. M: Yes, of course. I learned that I can keep the book I borrowed for three weeks and before the book is due, I can renew it if necessary. Is it correct? W: Yes, but you can only renew once.

What if they don’t need the Internet to pull data out of the facility’s computers? Instead, they can just infect an office printer and—with software alone—turn it into a radio. This sounds like sci-fi, but it’s now possible.(9)Security researchers at a Manhattan startup have discovered how to make any modern device—printer, washing machine, air conditioner—broadcast invisible, inaudible signals for miles. That’s a game changer—and a huge step forward for hackers. The rapidly expanding $77 billion cybersecurity industry is all about guarding computer networks. Companies and governments buy products to stay protected. But they keep running out of effective defensive options. That’s where Ang Cui and his team of bright researchers come in. They found a way to sneak data out of a computer network without setting off any alarms.(10)It’s groundbreaking research, because it also hints at the ability to steal data from computers that aren’t even connected to the Internet, like those at nuclear facilities. Last week, the team at Red Balloon Security demonstrated how it works to several news reporters. They infected a Pantum laser printer and toyed with its circuits, making it do something it was never meant to. By quickly switching a chip’s energy output back and forth, the printer emits electromagnetic radiation. The Red Balloon team calls it a “funtenna”.(11)In fact, one of the only ways to detect this highly advanced tactic is by walking around with an AM radio. If you get near a device and the radio static is interrupted by loud beeping, it’s secretly transmitting radio signals.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. Who discovered the new technology of making any modern device broadcast invisible signals? 10. Why is the new hacking tactic groundbreaking? 11. What is the best way to protect people from the new hacking tactic?10.A.Some senior hackers.B.The government agencies.C.The security researchers.D.The game players.正确答案:C11.A.Because it costs $ 77 billion to develop.B.Because it even puts data in offline devices in danger.C.Because it aims at nuclear facilities and military bases.D.Because it is revealed to reporters and the public.正确答案:B12.A.Cutting all the devices from the Internet.B.Stopping using all the advanced laser printers.C.Installing the high-tech anti-hacking softwares.D.Using an AM radio to detect the signals.正确答案:D听力原文:(12-1)Swedish fathers from next year will receive a third month of paid paternity leave in order to increase gender equality, the Swedish government has announced.(13)A 16-month parental leave, which can be used anytime up until the child turns eight, is already offered to parents who can share this time between them. Up until now, two of the months have been reserved specifically for fathers. But under the proposals, both mothers and fathers must take at least three months off, or risk losing these months, meaning that mothers cannot claims the months reserved specifically for fathers. Swedish parents receive 80% of their salary while on parental leave, reports Swedish news site the Local, which tops at around 4,000 per month. A third month “ is something we’ve really looked forward to,” Social Security Minister Annika Strandhall told Swedish Radio.(12-2)”We know that this is a key issue towards attaining greater gender equality. “(14)In contrast to Sweden’s liberal attitudes, the U. K. only offers fathers two weeks of dedicated paid leave, while the U. S. offers none whatsoever. In Canada, only one in ten fathers claims paternity leave. Some 80% of children in Sweden have two working parents, but only around 40% of women work full-time compared to some 75% of men.(15)The proposal appears to be popular among Swedish men. Close to 90% of Swedish fathers currently take paternity leave, according to The Economist, and since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child rearing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. Why does the government increase fathers’ paid paternity leave?13. What is the requirement of the Swedish parental leave? 14. How long do U. K. fathers take for dedicated paid paternity leave? 15. According to the passage, what do Swedish men think of the new policy?13.A.To solve economic problem.B.To increase gender equality.C.To follow the international trend.D.To increase the number of population.正确答案:B14.A.Only mothers can take the paid parental leave.B.No parental leave can be taken after the child is 8.C.Only families of two working parents can enjoy the paid leave.D.Parents must reserve the paid parental leave in advance.正确答案:B15.A.For 2 weeks.B.For 10 weeks.C.For 2 months.D.For 3 months.正确答案:A16.A.They worry about the salary cut.B.They show favor to taking the leave.C.They think women should benefit more.D.They feel more responsibility on them.正确答案:BSection C听力原文:Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me a great honor to introduce our speaker for today’s lecture, Dr. Thomas Wood. Dr. Wood, professor of sociology at University of California, has written numerous articles and books on the topic of(16)interpersonal relationship, which troubles most people nowadays. Welcome, Dr. Wood. Dr. Wood: I have heard lots of complaints from friends that they feel unsafe and upset about everyday life. A difficult relationship, a stressful lifestyle, a fast pace of life and some tough situations to deal with. Before I give my reply, I just think about it for a while. What’s the source of so much unhappiness? What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or bad, your melody lingers. An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionarydefines “melody” as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds. Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so does the way you live your life. (17)Think of your life as a blank sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there—it is up to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a success, a chart buster even a Symphony—something to be remembered with pleasure. So where to begin? You must begin with yourself.(18)Have the right attitude, enjoy life, and most importantly, be optimistic about the future. Be genuinely interested in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people’s lives. Avoid situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger and pride. They are all enemies of peace and will ruin your harmony. It has been said that if these emotions or feelings were banished, the world would live in perpetual peace. Well, to banish them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn’t be too difficult to rid them from your own life. Develop traits such as tact, diplomacy, compassion and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.(19)Everything you do has an effect on those around you. The way you move, whether you smile or frown. You are capable of making someone’s day bright or miserable. Take time to listen to other people. If there are too many discords and not enough harmony in their lives, encourage them to have a brighter outlook. Throughout the world most people are striving for peace. From the family unit seated around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace. So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to create a harmonious universe. If one of the suggestions I give you today is helpful to you in the future, I will feel really happy for giving you this speech. Thank you very much!16. What does the introduction part say about interpersonal relationship?17. What does Dr. Wood tell us to think of our life as? 18. What is the most important thing to begin with ourselves? 19. What does Dr. Wood say about the way we move?17.A.It is a kind of social problem.B.It has a bad impact on mental health.C.It makes people less effective at work.D.It troubles most people nowadays.正确答案:D18.A.A song.B.A piece of paper.C.A poem.D.An article.正确答案:B19.A.Have the right attitude.B.Enjoy life.C.Be optimistic.D.Work hard.正确答案:C20.A.It gives an important impression on others.B.It has an impact on people around you.C.It shows whether you are happy or not.D.It is likely to be followed by other people.正确答案:B听力原文:Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22. Many people who drink alcohol also like to smoke cigarettes. Drinking and smoking seem to be closely linked. Some people might even say they go together hand-in-hand. But this may be more than just a mixing of two fairly common activities.(20)New research has looked more closely at the relationship between cigarettes and alcohol. And the relationship is one of equal dependence. Smoking and drinking seem to feed on each other. These are the exact words of Mahesh Thakkar. He is head of research in the Department of Neurology at the University of Missouri’s School of Medicine. Thakkar explains that when a person drinks alcohol he gets sleepy. He says a drug in cigarettes fights that sleepy feeling. That drug, nicotine, can be addictive: smokers need more cigarettes because of their body’s growing dependence on the drug. So, if a person smokes, then he or she is much more likely to drink alcohol, and vice versa. Researchers already knew that people who use alcohol often smoke. In fact, earlier research shows that more than 85 percent of alcohol-dependent American adults also depend on nicotine. Thakkar’s earlier research showed that nicotine combined with alcohol stimulates what he calls the reward center of the brain. However, the new study shows a dependent relationship between the substances.(21)Thakkar says his team finds that nicotine weakens the sleep-causing effects of alcohol. It does this by activating an area of the brain called the basal forebrain. According to the Psychology Definition website, that area is responsible for memory, learning and attention. For this new experiment, Thakkar and his team used equipment that measures brain activity in rats. They injected the rats with both nicotine and alcohol, and then studied brain activity in the animals as they slept. The researchers found that nicotine goes through the basal forebrain and cancels out the sleep-causing effects of alcohol. The World Health Organization says 7 million people die every year from alcohol and nicotine use.(22)Mahesh Thakker and his team identified why alcohol use and smoking are often linked. He says this knowledge may help people break their addictions to alcohol and nicotine.20. What’s the relationship between cigarettes andalcohol? 21. What do Thakkar and his team find out about nicotine?22. How can Thakkar and his team’s finding benefit people?21.A.They always go together hand-in-hand.B.Alcohol-dependent teens will not depend on nicotine.C.It is one of equal dependence.D.People who don’t use alcohol often smoke.正确答案:C22.A.It damages an area of the brain called the basal forebrain.B.It doesn’t stimulate the reward center of the brain.C.It can cause people to get addicted to alcohol.D.It weakens the sleep-causing effects of alcohol.正确答案:D23.A.It helps people understand the basal forebrain.B.It will promote studies on people’s brain activity.C.It may help people break addictions to alcohol and nicotine.D.It can prevent people from getting alcohol-caused sleepy.正确答案:C听力原文:Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25. I’m 71. My husband is 76. My parents are in their late 90s, and Olivia, the dog, is 16. So let’s talk about aging. Mary Oliver says in one of her poems, “ Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”Me, I intend to live passionately. (23)When do we start aging? Society decides when we are old, usually around 65, when we get Medicare, but we really start aging at birth. We are aging right now, and we all experience it differently. We all feel younger than our real age, because the spirit never ages. I am still 17. What have I lost in the last decades? People, of course, places, and the boundless energy of my youth, and I’m beginning to lose independence, and that scares me. (24)What have I gained? Freedom—I don’t have to prove anything anymore. I’m not stuck in the idea of who I was, who I want to be, or what other people expect me to be. My body may be falling apart, but my brain is not, yet. I love my brain. I feel lighter. This is Grace Dammann. She has been in a wheelchair for six years after a terrible car accident. She says that there is nothing more sensual than a hot shower, that every drop of water is a blessing to the senses. She doesn’t see herself as disabled. In her mind, she’s still surfing in the ocean.(25)So how can I stay passionate? I cannot will myself to be passionate at 71. I have been training for some time, and when I feel flat and bored, Ifake it. Attitude. How do I train? I train by saying yes to whatever comes my way: drama, comedy, tragedy, love, death, losses. Yes to life. And I train by trying to stay in love. It doesn’t always work, but you cannot blame me for trying. And, on a final note, retirement in Spanish is celebration. We have contributed to society. Now it’s our time, and it’s a great time. Unless you are ill or very poor, you have choices. I have chosen to stay passionate, engaged with an open heart. I am working on it every day. Want to join me?23. What does the speaker say about aging? 24. How does the speaker feel when she gets old? 25. How does the speaker stay passionate to life?24.A.The society can’t decide when people are old.B.The aged are not in need of medical care.C.People of all ages are now aging.D.Aging is greatly affected by genes.正确答案:C25.A.She has lost too many precious things.B.She begins to gain the freedom.C.She can’t take care of herself any more.D.She feels her brain is falling apart.正确答案:B26.A.She learns from the disabled old ladies.B.She tries to have a positive attitude towards everything.C.She never feels flat or bored in her whole life.D.She thinks retirement is celebration to old people.正确答案:BPart III Reading ComprehensionSection AFor authors of self-help guides, no human problem is too great or too small. Want to become fitter, richer or happier in 2015? There are books for it—【C1】______upon shelves of them. Hoping for increased efficiency, decisiveness and creativity in the months ahead? There are titles for that, too. As we settle down to our New Year’s【C2】______, we’ll turn in droves to self-help books, hoping to find our own best selves in their pages. But a book needn’t lecture to leave its imprint. The truth is that all good literature changes us, and a growing body of research suggests you might do better browsing through fiction for support in【C3】______life’schallenges. Think of it less as self-help than “shelf help”. Reading has been proven to sharpen【C4】______thinking, enabling us to better discern patterns—a handy tool when it comes to the often baffling behaviour of ourselves and others. But fiction in particular can make you more socially able. Last year, the Journal of Applied Social Psychology published a paper showing how reading Harry Potter made young people in the U. K. and Italy more【C5】______disposed towards stigmatised(使蒙上污名的)minorities such as【C6】______.

We think of novels as places in which to lose ourselves, but when we【C8】______, we take with us inspiration from our favourite characters. A 2012 study by researchers at Ohio State University found that this process could actually change a reader’s behaviour. In one experiment, participants strongly identifying with a【C9】______character who overcame obstacles to vote proved significantly more likely to vote in a real election. They may not promise transformation in seven easy steps, but gripping novels can inform and motivate, short stories can console and trigger self-reflection, and poetry has been shown to engage parts of the brain linked to memory.

Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.1.对于是否应该参加社会实践,大家看法不一2.参加社会实践的重要性正确答案:When it comes to students’ social practice, some people regard it as a waste of time, whereas others argue that participating in various social activities benefits a lot. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view. To begin with, by being more socially involved, we can apply the knowledge we have acquired from textbooks to the solution of practical problems. Only in doing so can we get extra experience outside the Ivory Tower. What is more, getting involved in social practice can help us gain a better insight into what is happening in the world around us, which does good to our further study. Last but not least, social practice will provide us with more opportunities to develop interpersonal skills, which may put us in a favorable position in the future job markets. To conclude, proper amount of social practice does not occupy too much time and should become an indispensable part of school education, for the knowledge we obtain from textbooks in class is far from enough.解析:这是一篇分析型议论文。
2013年12月大学英语六级模拟题答案Part I WritingGratitude, the traditional virtue of all culture, never fades in its importance to individual life and the society as a whole. No matter we are in happiness or misfortune, we are supposed to hold a grateful heart towards our life, for nothing is impossible to a grateful heart.In our daily life, we are frequently confronted with hard times and difficulty. At this time, we are blessed to get help from parents, friends, colleagues or even strangers, whereby we can survive and endure. In return for that, we should hold a grateful heart to be ready to help others whenever they are in trouble or suffering from misery. The more love we give, the more love we receive, which constitutes the basis of our civilization.Nowadays, more emphasis has been put on the construction of harmonious society. Under no circumstances should we neglect the positive impacts gratitude has exerted on it. Only when each member of our society shows gratitude to others and to life, would there be less conflict and more understanding and would a harmonious society be achieved.Part II Listening1-5 B B A D C 6-10 D A A B C 11-15 C D A D B 16-20 D B A A C 21-25 D B C D A26 reviewed 27 criticized 28 influences 29 is meant to 30 category31 limited 32 qualify 33 address 34 highlights 35 figure outPart III ReadingSection A36.

TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “When it comes to success, there are no shortcuts. “You can give examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案:There Is No Shortcut to Success [1] There are many ways to success, such as a strong will, an intelligent mind or long lasting passions. Whichever way one take, one will find [2] the truth that there are no shortcuts on the way to success. [3] Just as the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” Success can only be achieved by those who are working hard and have great perseverance and enthusiasm.[4] Firstly, without [6] exerting oneself, one could never expect to achieve success. Although having been equipped with outstanding skills, [5] Wang Hao, the famous player of table tennis always trains hard for every championship.

TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Most Important Thing in Cross-Cultural Communication. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.正确答案:With the elevation of China’s status in the world, Chinese people have more and more opportunities to communicate with people from other countries. However, much embarrassment may occur in cross-cultural communication. Many people think that language is the biggest barrier. But I am inclined to believe that the most important thing in cross-cultural communication is to understand and respect different cultures. In my opinion, the importance of understanding and respecting different cultures to cross-cultural communication is self-evident. Language is part of culture, so it embodies its culture. And problem aroused in cross-cultural communication may be attributed to culture conflicts instead of language differences. For example, it is impolite to ask English-speaking people such privacy as age and salary. However in China, these questions can show our concern for others. As a result, we are likely to have communication failure if we fail to understand and respect certain manners. Based on the above discussion, it is very necessary to understand and respect other cultures before we participate in cross-cultural communication. And I want to suggest: to avoid embarrassment or conflicts in cross-cultural communication, learn others’ cultures first.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:W: Peter has been working five part-time jobs since he started college.

TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should Colleges Focus on Talent Training or Scientific Research? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words following the outline given below:1.高校应当更注重人才培养还是更注重科研一直备受关注2.人们观点不一3.我的观点正确答案:Should Colleges Focus on Talent Training or Scientific Research? As we all know, colleges are institutes that provide higher education for students. So the primary task of colleges should be talent training. However, with the target of being top-grade, some colleges mainly focus on scientific research. People have different views on this phenomenon. Some hold that the development of scientific research is premature for most colleges. But some consider that colleges should not only pay attention to talent training, but also try to develop research abilities. From my point of view, colleges should attach the greatest importance to talent training. Firstly, many colleges in China are still in the developing period, and they are not competent enough to do scientific research. Secondly, developing scientific research blindly is a waste of resources. In the long run, the training of talented students is the basis of scientific research. With enough resources of talents, the development of scientific research could be more rapid and healthy.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:W: What’s wrong with your phone, Gary?

TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled The Gradual Loss of Traditional Culture. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. You should: 1) describe the meaning of cartoon briefly;2) state its main idea; 3) give your comments.正确答案:What we can observe from the above cartoon is that there are two people watching Peking Opera. With the actress performing vividly on the stage, the old man is watching attentively while the little boy sitting beside does not even cast a glance at the actress and falls asleep. It is obvious that he shows no interest in Peking Opera. What the cartoon reflects is an interesting and usual respect of daily life. However, from a deeper perspective, it also reveals the gradual loss of traditional culture in modern society. What exactly contributes to this phenomenon? Possible reasons could be listed as follows: for one thing, some people, especially the young, hold the opinion that traditional culture is out of date, thus failing to keep pace with the life of modern city. Moreover, exotic cultures, to some extent, have great impact on the traditional culture of China. As we can see, a large number of people have been deeply attracted by foreign cultures which have many kinds of feature. However, no one can deny the significance of Chinese traditional culture. It is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and civilization. It is of great necessity to attach more importance to the traditional culture, because an individual or a nation showing no respect to the essence of traditional culture cannot be expected to develop and be stronger. Hence, something could and should be done to reverse the inexorable decline in the emphasis of Chinese traditional culture.解析:第一段:描述图片的意思(简要说明你从图片看到了什么)。

One of them is cyber love. It is becoming more and more popular, especially with the young.As to whether cyber love should be encouraged, people’s opinions vary. For some, cyber love is a new phenomenon that should be welcomed. For one thing, it is the natural outcome of the modern technology. People get on line, communicate on line, and it is of course natural for them to fall in love on line. For another, it offers much more chances for the young to meet their Mr. Right or Miss Right. Unlike in real life where your chances to meet people are limited, on internet, your opportunities to make friends are practically infinite. However, others, especially the parents disapprove of cyber love. They think that cyber love is unreliable. After all, virtual world is quite different from the real world. When finally, the couple face the real daily life, they may find themselves disillusioned. Besides, off and on, there are crimes committed in the name of cyber love.As a young college student, I myself is optimistic about cyber love, and I hope someday I could find my love on line.听力原文Section A11. M: You've got a wonderful apartment.W: That's what you're saying now. But you should have seen it when we moved in.Q: What does the woman imply about the apartment?12. W: Isn't this place a good value?M: Unfortunately, they don't bring you your food when it’s hot.Q: Where did this conversation take place?13. M: Say, haven't I seen you somewhere before?W: Last semester, we both took European History. Don't you remember? Q: What does the woman mean?14. M: Mary has a really neat car, doesn't she?W: Are you kidding? I'd die for a car like that!Q: What does the woman think of Mary’s car?15. M: I got a great deal on these books.W: Yes. I believe this one has been out of print for years.Q: What does the woman mean?16. W: How was your date with Kelly last night?M: Well, let me say I've had worse.Q: What does the man think about the date?17. W: Were you finally able to get into that calculus class?M: Yeah, much to my regret.Q: What does the man mean?18. M: I brought over a little something for you to eat.W: A little something? You brought the whole farm!Q: What does the woman imply?Long Conversation 1M: Sandy, how’s class been going for you this semeste r?W: [genuine enthusiasm] Oh, it’s great. I really like your business psychology class, butI have one major concern about the last assignment, you know. The one where we have to interviewa local business owner, uh, I mean entrepreneur?M: Are you having trouble coming up with interview questions?W: Well, that’s just it. I mean, I worked on my high school newspaper for years, so I actually have great questions to ask. The thing is...I’m new to the area, and I don’t know people off campus...So, I was wondering if...well, could you possibly give me the name of someone I could interview...?M: You don’t know anyone who owns a business?W: Well, yeah, back home… my next-door neighbors. They own a shoe store, and they’re really successful—but they’re not local.M: Well, it wouldn’t be fair to the other students if I gave you the name of a contact—but I could help you figure out a way to find someone on your own. Let’s see... Do you read the local newspaper?W: Well, aren’t people like that awfully busy? Too busy to talk to a random college student.M: Many people enjoy telling the story of how they got started. Remember, this is a business psychology class, and for this assignment, I want you to get some real insight about business owners, their personality, what drives them to become an entrepreneur.Questions 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why does the student go to see the professor?20. Why does the student mention her high school newspaper?21. How does the professor help the student?22. What does the professor want the students to learn from the assignment?Long Conversation 2W: Hi, Martin.M: Hi, Kate. How are you?W: Fine. I’m relieved to have done my presentation!M: I’m sure! How did it go?W: Oh, OK in the end, but I was ever so nervous beforehand. It’s silly, because I do know my stuff quite well. I must know those statistics inside out, but when you have to get each table of results to come up in the right order. It can make you nervous. It was my first time using the computerized projector, and I was sure I was going to get the controls wrong, or something. And of course, that’s not a good situation, if you know you’ve got to listen to questions carefully, and be ready to answer quickly.M: But it was fine once you got going?W: Yes.M: I do feel that the standard of presentations could be improved in general. I think a lot of the lecturers agree with me, although I don’t honestly know what they can be expected to do about it. Students need to appreciate the difference between style and content. Too many presentations are just a mass of detailed content – all very worthy - without any attempt to engage people’s interest. Basic things, like looking at your audience’s faces, seem to get forgotten. And that makes it harder to concentrate on the points made about the research itself.W: Yes, there are quite a few improvements I’d like to see. Take tutorials, for example, I feel they are often a missed opportunity. I come out not feeling sure about what I’ve learnt. Week in week out, I faithfully plough through the reading list, which is fair enough, but then the discussion doesn’t seem to extract the main issues- It’s frustrating.Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What was Kate worried about before giving her presentation,?24. How does Martin feel during many presentations by students?25. What is Kate’s opinion of the tutorials she attends?Section BPassage OneWhen DNA fingerprinting was discovered in the mid 80’s, it was hailed as the biggest breakthrough in forensic science since normal fingerprinting and was even considered to be infallible.The technique exploits the fact that everyone, apart from genetic twins, has a unique genetic blueprint. This blueprint consists of about three billion so-called base pairs whose order makes up our genes. These base pairs thus control what the various cells in our body do.Scientists have discovered that the human genetic blueprint contains certain regions in which short sequences of base pairs repeat many times. It has been established that the different length of these stutters can be used to form a unique profile for each human being. Better still, this information could be extracted from minute samples of body tissue found at the scene of a crime.The resulting profile is converted into a series of bands on photographic film and this human bar-code can be compared with a profile of a suspect. The more bands that match, the lower the probability of a chance similarity.Although DNA fingerprinting was presented as evidence for the prosecution in a number of high profile trials, doubts slowly began to emerge as to the reliability of the results.It has been argued that DNA fingerprinting may have an intrinsic flaw in that some ethnic groups have genetic similarities that increase the chances of getting matched bands. This can make a wrong identification more likely to happen.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What was people’s attitudes toward DNA fingerprinting initially?27. What essential detail is DNA fingerprinting based on?28. According to the passage, what is a particular advantage of DNA fingerprinting?29. Why there subsequently have been doubts about the reliability of the technique DNA fingerprinting?Passage twoDuring the 20th century there has been a trend in both painting and sculpture towards the more or less complete abandonment of the given forms of nature or objective reality. Abstract artists deliberately concentrate on the formal element of a painting or a sculpture - color, shape, form or texture - in their own right. They consider this the most completely satisfying method of attaining a harmonious unity. They maintain that their compositions make a direct visual andemotional appeal, unspoilt by the more obviously non-artistic associations of religious, historical or literary subjects.Historically, the art of past eras has fluctuated between the extremes of representational and nonrepresentational styles. A comparison between the stylized figure from an Egyptian tomb and the graceful naturalism of a 4th century B.C. Greek statue shows that the Egyptians emphasized “abstract” qualities more than the Greeks.The movement towards abstraction in our own day is much more violently anti-naturalistic. In 1910 Vasili Kandinski wrote an article in which he linked certain colors with human emotions -joy, sorrow, tranquility and so on - and proclaimed an “abstract art of inner necessity.” Twenty years before, Georges Seurat had been pre-occupied with the emotive qualities of lines in a composition: for him descending lines caused a mood of sorrow, ascending lines brought joy, and horizontal lines a sense of stability.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. How has art changed in the 20th century?31. What do abstract artists think about traditional religious and historical art?32. According to the passage how does Georges Seurat feel about falling lines in a composition?Passage ThreeWalt Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, but soon moved to a small farm near Marceline, Missouri. From this rural and rather humble beginning, he later became one of the most famous and beloved motion-picture producers in history. Although he died in 1966, his name and artistic legacy continue to influence the lives of millions of people throughout the world. After several years of barely making ends meet as a cartoon artist operating from his Los Angeles garage, Disney had his first success in 1928, with his release of a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Throughout the next decade, he continued to produce a number of cartoons, and developed more of his highly profitable and enduring creations, such as Donald Duck and Pluto. In the late 1930s, he issued the firstfull-length cartoon film. Snow White became an instant commercial and critical success. This was only the first of many films, both animated and not, produced by Disney and his studio. But as renowned as the Disney name is for cartoons and movies, it is probably best known for a string of spectacular amusement and theme parks. Starting with California's Disneyland in 1955 and culminating with the fantastically successful Disney World in Florida, Disney became a household name. In recent years, the theme park concept has become international, with openings in Tokyo and Paris. With the continuing success of Disney, the creations of future theme parks are under discussion.33. What is the passage mainly about?34. According to the passage, for what is Disney most famous?35. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?Section CEvery year, nine million people in the USA sign up for educational courses in film-making techniques, whilst dozens of magazines aim to update fans on the progress of forthcoming productions.A Los Angeles-based Internet start-up is aiming to tap into the national obsession with film by taking fans into the studios on-line to watch the making of certain movies in production. Through its website, the company aims to build a community of fans for these movies, who will gain access to progress reports from participating studios. These will give insights into the working of directors and cinematographers and, crucially, also offer fans the chance to contribute to the creative process itself.In this way, it is hoped to make the audience into 'emotional stakeholders' in the film. It is a natural extension of the process which keeps viewers glued to television soap operas week after week. The company aims to extend this principle, however, so that the feeling of involvement begins whilst the film is actually being created. Participating film-makers will present selected parts of their work-in-progress on the website, giving users the opportunity to comment on what they've just seen.The benefit to film-makers will be twofold. As well as receiving this valuable critical input, they will be able to cut down on marketing expenses. Around 150,000 people have already expressed an interest in the scheme. That represents quite a large group who, given their previous involvement, will be likely to want to see the finished product. And if they like both the film and the experience, they'll tell their friends.“成千上万人疯狂下载。
