You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Virtually every activity that entails or facilitates in-person human interaction seems to be in the midst of a total meltdown as the coronavirus(冠状病毒)outbreak erases Americans’desire to travel. Amtrak says bookings are down 50 percent and cancelations are up 300 percent. Hotels in San Francisco are experiencing 26 rates between 70 and 80 percent. Broadway goes dark on Thursday night. Universities, now emptying their campuses, have never tried online learning on this 27 _. White-collar companies like Amazon, Apple, and the New York Times are asking employees to work from home for the 28 future.But what happens after the coronavirus?In some ways, the answer is: All the old normal stuff. The pandemic(大流行病)will take lives, 29 economies and destroy routines, but it will pass. Americans will never stop going to basketball games. They won’t stop going on vacation. They’ll meet to do business. No decentralizing technology so far—not telephones, not television, and not the internet—has dented that human desire to shake hands, despite technologists’30 to the contrary.Yet there are real reasons to think that things will not return to the way they were last week. Small 31 create small societal shifts; big ones change things for good. The New York transit strike of 1980 is 32 with prompting several long-term changes in the city, including bus and bike lanes, and women wearing sports shoes to work. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 prompted the development of national health care in Europe.Here and now, this might not even be a question of 33 . It’s not clear that the cruise industry will 34 . Or that public transit won’t go broke without 35 assistance. The infrastructure might not even be in place to do what we were doing in 2019.A)credentials I)scaleB)credited J)strangleC)cumulative K)subtleD)disruptions L)summonedE)federal M)surviveF)foreseeable N)vacancyG)predictions O)wedgeH)preferenceSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2.Slow HopeA) Our world is full of—mostly untold—stories of slow hope, driven by the idea that change is possible. They are ‘slow’ in their unfolding, and they are slow because they come with setbacks.B) At the beginning of time—so goes the myth—humans suffered, shivering in the cold and dark until the titan (巨人)Prometheus stole fire from the gods. Just as in the myth, technology—first fire and stone tools, and later farming, the steam engine and industry, fossil fuels, chemicals and nuclear power—has allowed us to alter and control the natural world. The myth also reminds us that these advances have come at a price: as a punishment for Prometheus’ crime, the gods created Pandora, and they gave her a box filled with evils and curses. When Pandora’s box was opened, it unleashed swarms of diseases and disasters upon humankind.C) Today we can no longer ignore the ecological curses that we have released in our search for warmth and comfort. In engineering and exploiting and transforming our habitat, we have opened tens of thousands of Pandora’s boxes. In recent decades, environmental threats have expanded beyond regional boundaries to have global reach and, most hauntingly, are multiplying at a dizzying rate. On a regular basis, we are reminded that we are running out of time. Year after year, faster and faster, consumption outpaces the biological capacity of our planet. Stories of accelerated catastrophe multiply. We fear the breakdown of the electric grid, the end of non-renewable resources, the expansion of deserts, the loss of islands, and the pollution of our air and water.D) Acceleration is the signature of our time. Populations and economic activity grew slowly for much of human history. For thousands of years and well into early modern times, world economies saw no growth at all, but from around the mid-19th century and again, in particular, since the mid-20th, the real GDP has increased at an enormous speed, and so has human consumption. In the Middle Ages, households in Central Europe might have owned fewer than 30 objects on average; in 1900, this number had increased to 400, and in 2020 to 15,000. The acceleration of human production, consumption and travel has changed the animate and inanimate spheres. It has echoed through natural processes on which humans depend. Species extinction, deforestation, damming of rivers, occurrence of floods, the depletion of ozone, the degradation of ocean systems and many other areas are all experiencing acceleration. If represented graphically, the curve for all these changes looks rather like that well-known hockey stick: with little change over millennia (数千年) and a dramatic upswing over the past decades.E) Some of today’s narratives about the future seem to suggest that we too, like Prometheus, will be saved by a new Hercules, a divine engineer, someone who will mastermind, manoeuvre and manipulate our planet. They suggest that geoengineering, cold fusion or faster-than-light spaceships might transcend once and for all the terrestrial constraints of rising temperatures, lack of energy, scarcity of food, lack of space, mountains of waste, polluted water—you name it.F) Yet, if we envisage our salvation to come from a deus ex machina(解围之神)，from a divine engineer or a tech solutionist who will miraculously conjure up a new source of energy or another cure-all with revolutionary potency, we might be looking in the wrong place. The fact that we now imagine our planet as a whole does not mean that the ‘rescue’of our planet will come with one bigglobal stroke of genius and technology. It will more likely come by many small acts. Global heating and environmental degradation are not technological problems. They are highly political issues that are informed by powerful interests. Moreover, if history is a guide, then we can assume that any major transformations will once again be followed by a huge set of unintended consequences. So what do we do?G) This much is clear: we need to find ways that help us flatten the hockey-stick curves that reflect our ever-faster pace of ecological destruction and social acceleration. If we acknowledge that human manipulation of the Earth has been a destructive force, we can also imagine that human endeavours can help us build a less destructive world in the centuries to come. We might keep making mistakes. But we will also keep learning from our mistakes.H) To counter the fears of disaster, we need to identify stories, visions and actions that work quietly towards a more hopeful future. Instead of one big narrative, a story of unexpected rescue by a larger-than-life hero, we need multiple stories: we need stories, not only of what Rob Nixon of Princeton University has called the ‘slow violence’ of environmental degradation (that is, the damage that is often invisible at first and develops slowly and gradually), but also stories of what I call ‘slow hope’.I) We need an acknowledgement of our present ecological plight but also a language of positive change, visions of a better future. In The Principle of Hope (1954-1959), Ernst Bloch, one of the leading philosophers of the future, wrote that ‘the most tragic form of loss...is the loss of the capacity to imagine that things could be different’. We need to identify visions and paths that will help us imagine a different, more just and more ecological world. Hope, for Bloch, has its starting point in fear, in uncertainty, and in crisis: it is a creative force that goes hand in hand with utopian (乌托邦的)‘wishful images’. It can be found in cultural products of the past —in fairy tales, in fiction, in architecture, in music, in the movie —in products of the human mind that contain ‘the outlines of a better world’. What makes us ‘authentic’ as humans are visions of our ‘potential’. In other words: living in hope makes us human.J) The power of small, grassroots movements to make changes that spread beyond their place oforigin can be seen with the Slow Food movement, which began in Italy in the 1980s. The rise of fast-food restaurants after the Second World War produced a society full of cheap, industrially made foodstuffs. Under the leadership of Carlo Petrini, the Slow Food movement began in Piedmont, a region of Italy with a long history of poverty, violence and resistance to oppression. The movement transformed it into a region hospitable to traditional food cultures —based on native plants and breeds of animals. Today, Slow Food operates in more than 160 countries, poor and rich. It has given rise to thousands of projects around the globe, representing democratic politics, food sovereignty, biodiversity and sustainable agriculture.K) The unscrupulous(无所顾忌的)commodification of food and the destruction of foodstuffs will continue to devastate soils, livelihoods and ecologies. Slow Food cannot undo the irresistible developments of the global food economy, but it can upset its theorists, it can‘speak differently’, and it can allow people and their local food traditions and environments to flourish. Even in the United States —the fast-food nation—small farms and urban gardens are on the rise. The US Department of Agriculture provides an Urban Agriculture Toolkit and, according to a recent report, Americanmillennials(千禧一代)are changing their diets. In 2017, 6 per cent of US consumers claimed to be strictly vegetarian, up from 1 per cent in 2014. As more people realise that ‘eating is an agricultural act’, as the US poet and environmental activist Wendell Berry put it in 1989, slow hope advances.36.It seems some people today dream that a cutting-edge new technology might save them from thepresent ecological disaster.37.According to one great thinker, it is most unfortunate if we lose the ability to think differently.38.Urgent attention should be paid to the ecological problems we have created in our pursuit of acomfortable life.39.Even in the fast-food nation America, the number of vegetarians is on the rise.40.The deterioration of the ecological system is accelerating because of the dramatic increase of humanproduction and consumption.41.It is obvious that solutions must be found to curb the fast worsening environment and socialacceleration.42.Many people believe changing the world is possible, though it may take time and involve setbacks.43.It might be wrong to expect that our world would be saved at one stroke with some miraculoustechnology.44.It is human nature to cherish hopes for a better world.45.Technology has given us humans the power to change the natural world, but we have paid a price forthe change.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and 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 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Vegetarians would prefer not to be compelled to eat meat. Yet the reverse compulsion(强迫)ishidden in the proposals for a new plant-based “planetary diet.” Nowhere is this more visible than in India.Earlier this year, the EAT-Lancet Commission released its global report on nutrition and called for a global shift to a more plant-based diet and for “substantially reducing consumption of animal source foods.” In countries like India, that call could become a tool to aggravate an already tense political situation and stress already undernourished populations.The EAT report presumes that “traditional diets” in countries like India include little red meat, which might be consumed only on special occasions or as minor ingredients in mixed dishes.In India, however, there is a vast difference between what people would wish to consume and what they have to consume because of innumerable barriers around class, religion, culture, cost, geography, etc. Policymakers in India have traditionally pushed for a cereal-heavy “vegetarian diet” on a meat-eating population as a way of providing the cheapest sources of food.Currently, under an aggressive Hindu nationalist government, Muslims, Christians, disadvantaged classes and indigenous communities are being compelled to give up their traditional foods.None of these concerns seem to have been appreciated by the EAT-Lancet Commission’s representative, Brent Loken, who said “India has got such a great example” in sourcing protein from plants.But how much of a model for the world is India’s vegetarianism? In the Global Hunger Index 2019, the country ranks 102nd out of 117. Data from the National Family Health Survey indicate that only 10 percent of infants of 6 to 23 months are adequately fed.Which is why calls for a plant-based diet modeled on India risk offering another whip with which to beat already vulnerable communities in developing countries.A diet directed at the affluent West fails to recognize that in low-income countries undernourished children are known to benefit from the consumption of milk and other animal source foods, improving cognitive functions, while reducing the prevalence of nutritional deficiencies as well as mortality.EAT-Lancet claimed its intention was to “spark conversations” among all Indian stakeholders. Yet vocal critics of the food processing industry and food fortification strategies have been left out of the debate. But the most conspicuous omission may well be the absence of India’s farmers.The government, however, seems to have given the report a thumbs-up. Rather than addressing chronic hunger and malnutrition through an improved access to wholesome and nutrient-dense foods, the government is opening the door for company-dependent solutions, ignoring the environmental and economic cost, which will destroy local food systems. It’s a model full of danger for future generations.46.What is more visible in India than anywhere else according to the passage?A)People’s positive views on the proposals for a “planetary diet”.B)People’s reluctance to be compelled to eat plant-based food.C)People’s preferences for the kind of food they consume.D)People’s unwillingness to give up their eating habits.47.What would the EAT-Lancet Commission’s report do to many people in countries like India?A)Radically change their dietary habits.B)Keep them further away from politics.C)Make them even more undernourished.D)Substantially reduce their food choices.48.What do we learn from the passage about food consumption in India?A)People’s diet will not change due to the EAT-Lancet report.B)Many people simply do not have access to foods they prefer.C)There is a growing popularity of a cereal-heavy vegetarian diet.D)Policymakers help remove the barriers to people’s choice of food.49.What does the passage say about a plant-based diet modeled on India?A)It may benefit populations whose traditional diet is meat-based.B)It may be another blow to the economy in developing countries.C)It may help narrow the gap between the rich and poor countries.D)It may worsen the nourishment problem in low-income countries.50.How does the Indian government respond to the EAT-Lancet Commission’s proposals?A)It accepts them at the expense of the long-term interests of its people.B)It intends them to spark conversations among all Indian stakeholders.C)It gives them approval regardless of opposition from nutrition experts.D)It welcomes them as a tool to address chronic hunger and malnutrition.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Back in 1964, in his book Games People Play,psychiatrist Eric Berne described a pattern of conversation he called “ Why Don’t You——Yes But”，which remains one of the most irritating aspects of everyday social life. The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they moan about it ceaselessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed. The reason, of course, is that on some level they don’t want a solution; they want to be validated in their position that the world is out to get them. If they can “win” the game—dismissing every suggestion until their interlocutor(对话者)gives up in annoyance—they get to feel pleasurably righteous (正当的)in their resentments and excused from any obligation to change.Part of the trouble here is the so-called responsibility/fault fallacy (谬误). When you’re feeling hard done by—taken for granted by your partner, say, or obliged to work for a half-witted boss—it’s easy to become attached to the position that it’s not your job to address the matter, and that doing so would be an admission of fault. But there’s a confusion here. For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility. There would be choices to make, and no possibility of avoiding them, since trying to ignore the matter would be a choice. The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as ajustification to evade responsibility.Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s an ingenious way to shut it down—which is to agree with it, ardently. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb describes this as “ over-validation ”. For one thing, you’ll be spared further moaning, since the other person’s motivation was to confirm her beliefs, and now you’re confirming them. But for another, as Gottlieb notes, people confronted with over-validation often hear their complaints afresh and start arguing back. The notion that they’re utterly powerless suddenly seems unrealistic—not to mention rather annoying—so they’re prompted instead to generate ideas about how they might change things.“And then, sometimes, something magical might happen,” Gottlieb writes. The other person “might realise she’s not as trapped as you are saying she is, or as she feels.” Which illustrates the irony of the responsibility/fault fallacy: evading responsibility feels comfortable, but turns out to be a prison; whereas assuming responsibility feels unpleasant, but ends up being freeing.51.What is characteristic of a chronic complainer, according to psychiatrist Eric Berne?A)They only feel angry about their ill treatment and resent whoever tries to help.B)They are chronically unhappy and ceaselessly find fault with people around them.C)They constantly dismiss others，proposals while taking no responsibility for tackling the problem.D)They lack the knowledge and basic skills required for successful conversations with their interlocutors.52.What does the author try to illustrate with the example of the newborn on one’s doorstep?A)People tend to think that one should not be held responsible for others’ mistakes.B)It is easy to become attached to the position of overlooking one’s own fault.C)People are often at a loss when confronted with a number of choices.D) A distinction should be drawn between responsibility and fault.53.What does the author advise people to do to chronic complainers?A)Stop them from going further by agreeing with them.B)Listen to their complaints ardently and sympathetically.C)Ask them to validate their beliefs with further evidence.D)Persuade them to clarify the confusion they have caused.54.What happens when chronic complainers receive over-validation?A)They are motivated to find ingenious ways to persuade their interlocutor.B)They are prompted to come up with ideas for making possible changes.C)They are stimulated to make more complaints.D)They are encouraged to start arguing back.55.How can one stop being a chronic complainer according to the author?。

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Importance of Setting GoalsSetting goals is an essential part of personal and professional development. Goals give us direction and motivation, help us to focus our efforts, and provide a sense of accomplishment when they are achieved. Whether they are short-term or long-term, setting specific, achievable goals can help us to be more organized and efficient in our daily lives.One of the key benefits of setting goals is that they give us a clear vision of what we want to achieve. By defining our goals, we can create a roadmap for success and stay on track towards reaching our desired outcomes. For example, if our goal is to improve our English language skills, we can set specific targetssuch as studying for a certain number of hours each day, practicing writing essays, or taking an English language course.Moreover, setting goals helps to increase our motivation and drive. When we have a clear goal in mind, we are more likely to stay focused and dedicated to achieving it. This sense of purpose can be incredibly empowering and energizing, and can help us to overcome challenges and obstacles that may arise along the way.In conclusion, setting goals is an important aspect of personal and professional growth. By establishing clear objectives and creating a plan to achieve them, we can enhance our productivity, motivation, and overall well-being.

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Should College Students be Allowed to Start Their Own Businesses?Nowadays, many college students have a strong desire to start their own businesses while still studying at university. This phenomenon has sparked a heated debate among the public. Some people argue that college students should focus on their studies and not be distracted by starting a business, while others believe that starting a business can provide valuable practical experience and help students learn important skills that are not taught in the classroom.Those who support the idea of college students starting their own businesses argue that entrepreneurship can instill valuable qualities in students, such as creativity, innovation, and perseverance. By starting their own businesses, students can gain hands-on experience in areas such as marketing, finance, andmanagement, which can complement their academic studies and better prepare them for future careers.On the other hand, critics argue that starting a business can be a risky and time-consuming endeavor that may distract students from their studies. They believe that college students should focus on their education and developing their academic skills, rather than diverting their attention to running a business.In conclusion, whether college students should be allowed to start their own businesses is a complex issue with arguments on both sides. It is important for students to carefully consider the pros and cons before deciding to embark on an entrepreneurial venture.Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

In particular, research has shown that certain environmental factors can affect our mood, energy levels, creativity, and overall well-being.Our surroundings can influence our emotions. For example, colorful environments can promote positive emotions and enhance creativity, while dull and monotonous environments can have a negative impact on our mood and creativity. Similarly, natural environments, such as parks or gardens, are known to have a calming effect and can reduce stress levels. In contrast,crowded and noisy environments can be overwhelming and increase feelings of anxiety and stress.The layout and design of a space can also affect our behavior. Open and spacious environments encourage social interaction and collaboration, while cramped and cluttered spaces can hinder communication and productivity. In workspaces, factors such as lighting, temperature, and furniture arrangement can all impact employee performance and job satisfaction.In addition to affecting our emotions and behavior, the physical environment can also influence our energy levels. Natural light, ventilation, and access to green spaces have been shown to increase energy and alertness, while poor lighting and air quality can lead to fatigue and decreased motivation.Overall, the physical environment plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences and behaviors.

2020年12月新东方大学英语六级考试模拟题2听力原文及答案Part I WritingIn such a competitive society, many people dream of achieving success overnight. And even some try to get the result by using any means, good or ill. However, we shouldn’t forget those traditional virtues in the process of pursuing the so-called life goals, such as the trait of honesty. Otherwise, mankind will face a loss of mutual trust among individuals and a loss of a hopeful future.Outdated it may sound, the trait of honesty is supposed to be kept and passed on by all human being. If we ignore it, we’ll learn the significance of honesty the hard way later. My friend Laura is a good case in point. Believing she is smart, she speculates that she could pass the final exams without working hard on a daily basis. She played video games or watched TV series everyday instead of studying diligently. When the exams came at the end of the semester, she felt overwhelmed. Sadly, she chose to cheat on one of the exams, discarding any thought of honesty. Inevitably, she was caught and punished by the school. She could have been honest about her study and have made up for the exam at a later time.Given the importance of honesty, it’s vital for students to value this trait. They are supposed to adopt a down-to-earth attitude toward life or work, being honest and diligence. With the trait of honesty, it’s beyond doubt that they will be more likely to gain success at work or in life.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices markedA), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a singleline through the centre.Conversation OneM: Do you love eggs, Alison? Recently, I read some articles about the relationship between eating eggs and health.W: Yes, I love eating eggs. During a typical day, I may have scrambled eggs in the morning. Later in the day, I may have omelette.M: What else do you eat during the day?W: Maybe some snacks between meals. They may also contain some eggs.M: Ok. Have you ever thought about the question, like how many eggs is safe to eat in a day?W: No, I haven’t. You mean, it’s not safe to eat a lot of eggs in a single day, right?M: Eating too many eggs isn’t good for one’s health. Of course, it’s a p iece of advice from doctors. W: How can we define “too many” or “too few”? Is there any standard for the number of eggs consumed during a day?M: In fact, there is. It is given by health experts.W: At a guess, I think eating five eggs a day will be ok.M: No, that’s too many. Health experts point out that two eggs a day is fine for average person.W: I’m afraid I’ll have to cut down on the eggs I usually eat in a day.M: And, if you decide to limit the number to two eggs a day, you should also try hard to avoid eating any cheese on that same day.W: Why? I love eating scrambled eggs with cheese on them.M: Please don’t eat like that anymore. Eating the two together mean s that you get more calories than you actually need. The result is, you’ll put on weight gradually.W: I don’t want to put on weight! I want to keep slim as long as possible.M: Alison, I quite understand that. Ladies pay more attention to their figures nowadays.W: For that purpose, I’ll give up on cheese. Instead, in the morning, I’ll eat s crambled eggs with green beans, vegetables and fruits.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What does the woman eat between meals during a typical day?2. According to the man, what’s the proper number of eggs eaten by a n average person in a day?3. Why does the man advise the woman to stop eating scrambled eggs and cheese together?4. In order to stay slim, what will the woman probably do in the future?1. A2. B3. A4. BConversation TwoW: Hello, Jeff. You know, lately, I’ve been sorting out things stored in the attic. It’s really exhausting. M: It’s hard work. I know that. I’ve done it once or twice a year. In fact, the attic is easily influenced by climate. The temperature and humidity may fluctuate dramat ically with the time of the year. It’s fine for storing some things, but not suitable for others.W: Could you be more specific? I’ll be very thankful.M: Ok, it might be fine for suitcases, Christmas decorations and pottery. But things made of natural mat erials won’t fare well in the attic.W: How about chairs? I’ve got too many chairs in my house. I’m thinking of getting rid of some of them.M: If they are wooden, you’d better put them somewhere else. Don’t store them in the attic. The huge changes in humidity and temperature can cause the wood to expand and crack.W: Ok, I’ll follow your advice and put them in some proper place. How about old tech, like TVs, smartphones and laptops? Can I leave them in the attic?M: Please don’t do that. Such tech devices shouldn’t be kept in the attic. In the attic, the temperature and humidity vary too much and too often. The result is, moisture will easily collect inside and damage the inner components.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What has the woman been doing in recent days?6. According to the man, what can be stored in the attic?7. Why can’t wooden chairs be left in the attic?8. For what reason can’t old smartphones be put in the attic?5. B6. A7. B8. CSection BDirections:In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After youhear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneWhen it comes to weight loss workout strategies, walking is totally underestimated. It’s time to change that. It has plenty going for it, including that you don’t have to wear Spandex, you don’t have to go to a special gym to do it, and you can even get medals for it. And there’s no learning curve.Not only can you lose weight by doing it, but the more you weigh, th e easier it’s going to drop pounds. How much weight you can lose by walking varies from person to person, but it’s reported that women drop as many as 14 to 22 pounds within eight weeks of starting a walking routine. Men tend to lose weight faster. Other people lose it more slowly, and sometimes those who lose it more slowly tend to keep it off longer.The first tip for weight loss is to remember to do more than you’re doing now. There’s no magic formula for how many steps, miles, or hours you have to walk to lose the amount of weight that you want. Starting out, the key is to do more than you’re doing now. If you have a job where you’re on your feet all day, you have to do more than that. But if you have a sedentary desk job, a walk every evening after dinner may show real results. A lot has been said about getting a baseline of about 10,000 steps a day for health reasons. If your goal is weight loss, you’ll likely want more than that once you get into a routine.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. What’s the problem with walking in helping people to lose weight?10. How can a walking routine help in people’s efforts to lose weight?11. What’s the speaker’s advice for a person doing a sedentary desk job?9. B 10. A 11. CPassage TwoAs one who has worked exclusively from home for the past two and a half years, I’d like to say “welcome!” to all the people who are now forced to do the same. And as one who has gained 18 pounds in those two-plus years, I’d also like to say, it’s really easy to pack on unwanted weight while working from home. I mean, you’re cooped up in a relatively small space all day, it’s real easy to make frequent trips to the cupboard, you can work in sweatpants or pajamas that expand with you, and there i s just you (or family) so there’s less guilt around snacking.Thankfully, over the last few months I have learned to change up some routines and have steadily been shedding that weight ever since. So, if you are new to working from home, I wanted to share some food tech tips to help you navigate your new normal.Please note: I’m not a dietitian or nutritionist. I’m not going to tell you what you should be eating, you should go see an expert if you are concerned about that. This is more about little things you can do around your place to keep extra weight off.Don’t put your home office in the kitchen. I realize that this may not be possible for everyone, but if you can avoid it, don’t set up at the kitchen table or counter. Frequent snacking is the enemy, and it’s far too easy to grab a handful of Thin Mints each time you finish a spreadsheet. It’s harder to work all day when the food’s in the room.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. According to the speaker, what might cause one working from home to gain weight?13. Why is the speaker qualified for offering help to others who are new to working from home?14. In what aspect can the speaker help others working from home?15. What does the speaker warn people against?12. C 13. B 14. A 15. CSection CDirections:In this section, you will hear three recordings of lectures or talks followed by three or four questions. The recordings will be played only once. After you hear a question, you mustchoose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Recording OneDo you want to eat better, exercise more, stop smoking or lose weight? Great. Now’s the time toset those New Year’s resolutions. As we head into a year, your first step is to believe you can do it. The opposite is also true. If you think you can’t do it, you’ll likely prove yourself right.While about 40% of Americans set resolutions around January 1, about 40% to 44% of them will be successful in six months. But if you believe in yourself, you are 10 times more likely to change via a New Year’s resolution, compared to non-resolvers.Here’s how to start yourself on the strongest possible footing this year.First, you should make it specific.Eating better and exercising more are all nice ideas, but they’re too general and don’t give you a plan of action. People often think they lack motivation when the problem is really a lack of clarity. The simple way to apply this strategy to your habits is to make it concrete in detail. If you want to eat better, be specific: Resolve to add a fruit or vegetable to your lunch every day, limit fast food to once per week, or have dessert once a week.Second, you are supposed to make it possible.Don’t commit to a marathon if you hate running. Avoid resolutions that sound great but are unattainable. In fact, make th em something you will enjoy. They can still be hard, but that doesn’t mean they have to make you miserable.To eat better, put that bowl of fruit right next to your lunch bag, so you grab an apple or orange every day. Hate apples? Don’t pick apples. Pick a fruit you are likely to eat.To exercise more, you might want to run more. But if you’re a night person, don’t make it harder on yourself by trying to run every morning before work. Do it after work.Third, you are expected to allow yourself to fail.It’s OK if a coworker’s box of donuts throws you off for one day. Everyone screws up. Expect to have occasional slips. But don’t let the occasional missed exercise class or Friday workplace donut throw you off course.Most successful resolvers slip in January, but 71% of successful resolvers say their first slip strengthened their efforts through a combination of guilt, increasing awareness of their problem’s severity, and the slip reminding them to refine their plans.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What was found about Americans’ New Year’s resolutions?17. What would an excessively general New Year resolution lead up to?18. What’s the speaker’s second tip for accomplishing a New Year’s resolution?19. What attitude should people adopt towards occasional failures in keeping their resolutions?16. A 17. A 18. B 19. CRecording TwoWinter’s here now, temperatures are dropping, and chances are that it’ll get even colder. All that most of us want to do is stay indoors with a cup of hot tea and a heartwarming movie, but do cold temperatures bring us any health benefits? If so, what are they? We investigate.Can the cold temperatures of winter do us any good? I don’t know about you, but I’m definitelywhat you mig ht rather unscientifically refer to as a “summer person.” I thrive in hot weather, love wearing light clothes, and cherish the long, sunny days that make me feel productive in my study or work.But in winter, I always complain about the cold, bundle up under five different layers of clothing, and unhappily wait it out until temperatures rise again in the spring. But am I wrong in being so afraid of this season and the low temperatures it brings?Research has suggested that cool temperatures could bring a range of health benefits, and that we shouldn’t always shun exposure to cold. Here and now, let’s discuss one of the many reported benefits.That is, the cold can boost sleep quality.Our bodies follow a circadian rhythm that self-regulates eating, sleeping, and activity patterns according to day-night cycles, thereby allowing us to function normally. Researchers have found that a disorder in circadian rhythms can lead to a disrupted sleep, which, in turn, can lead to a number of health problems.Studies that were recently covered by Medical News Today have found that insomnia and other sleep disorders can impair our perception and cognitive function and heighten the risk of kidney disease and diabetes.Research has revealed that, when we fall asleep, our body temperature begins to drop. Insomniacs, however, seem unable to regulate body heat appropriately, leading to difficulties in falling asleep.This is where external temperatures come in. One study experimented with “cooling caps”—that is, a cap that keeps the sleeper’s head at cooler temperatures — and found that insomniacs benefited from the exposure, which allowed them to enjoy a better night’s sleep.Current sleep guidelines—supported by existing research—suggest that the ideal temperature in our bedrooms as we prepare to go to sleep should be somewhere between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit, namely around 15.5 to 19 degrees Celsius.The bottom line is that you shouldn’t be freezing cold, of course—that won’t really help your sleep—but moderately cool environments might do the trick.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.20. Why does the speaker love summer more than winter?21. What causes people with sleep disorders to have difficulty in falling asleep?22. By current sleep guidelines, what should be avoided in order to get better sleep?20. B 21. C 22. ARecording ThreeTake a moment to cherish your plants and appreciate the animals you see around you. In 50 years, a third of them may no longer exist.Scientists studied 538 animals, insects and plants from 581 sites across the globe, and found that approximately one in three plant, insect and animal species could face extinction by 2070. However, things could be even worse if emissions continue to rise as rapidly as they have in recent decades. In a worst-case scenario, that number could rise to over 55%.Of the 538 species studied, 44% of them have already experienced an extinction in a particular local area. The researchers found that local extinction sites had larger and faster changes in the hottest yearly temperatures than those that did not.While many species were able to tolerate a moderate increase in maximum temperatures, 50% of the species had local extinctions if maximum temperatures increased by more than 0.5 degrees Celsius. That number rose to 95% if temperatures increased by more than 2.9 degrees Celsius.The researchers found that the key to predicting whether a population will go extinct is the maximum annual temperature, as opposed to the average yearly temperature. This is notable because average temperatures are typically used as markers in measuring climate change.With January going in the record books as the warmest January in 141 years and statistical analysis done by NOAA scientists predicting 2020 to be one of the five warmest years on record, the researchers believe there will be more local extinctions across the globe. And with summer heat waves potentially becoming more dangerous in the coming decades, the potential for loss of life will likely only grow from there.However, that number could drop if we make a collective effort to address climate change, they say. The Paris Agreement was signed in 2015 by ministers from 195 countries from around the globe. It committed these countries to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and below 1.5 degrees, if possible.The researchers found that achieving the Paris goals could be the difference between extinction and survival for many species. Based on the researchers’ sampl e of 538 species, they projected a loss of 30% of the species under a more extreme warming scenario, but only about 16% if all the countries stick to the Paris Agreement. So, think in 1 in 6 species, not 1 in 3.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What did scientists find about species in their study?24. What’s the key to predicting where a population will go extinct?25. What are the possible influences of the Paris Agreement on species?23. D 24. A 25. CPart III Reading ComprehensionSection A26.

The retail value of China’s fragrance segment is project ed to experience considerable annual growth and expand from $1.18 billion in 2018 to $1.81 billion in 2023. That is, the market had surged 48.2 percent between 2014 and 2018. Compared to skincare products and cosmetics, fragrance is a relatively small and slow-growing category as it is still considered a nonessential item by many Chinese consumers. However, the market value will continue to expand in the next five years, driven by a growing diversity in product offerings and consumers’ appetite for premium fragrance. One of the key factors driving growth in the fragrance segment is the maturity of the domestic e-commerce industry. In fact, many international brands consider e-commerce as the first step into the Chinese market.。

2020年12月英语六级答案（完整版部分听力没有）英语六级考试多题多卷，听力2套，作文翻译阅读各3套01六级作文这次六级作文考了3套题：第1套：Why students should be encouraged to take challenges 面对挑战·参考范文：Over the last few decades, it has become a manifest must that students have to step out of their comfort zones and take challenges, which is undoubtedly the core of personal growth.To start with, confronting challenges is the key to the growth of one’s mindset. By addressing problems and crisis, students are engaged in introspective thinking. They would know about their limits and, to overcome challenges, they would have to push their boundaries so that the difficulties could be handled. During this very process, the students experience deep learning and rapid growth.Moreover, in this ever-changing world of ours, embracing challenges can mean inspirations and creativity. The golden rule of inspiration is that it must be sought. When students are under the stress caused by imminent challenges and are eagerly seeking their ways out, innovations might just knock on the door. This is how cognitive and analytical ability develops during the process of problem tackling.Last but not least, constantly dealing with challenges normalizes the struggle, which contributes greatly to mental and physical perseverance. If coupled with in-time positive feedback, students would be even more motivated to push further.To sum up, it is vital for students to actively expose themselves to more challenges, which shall incredibly accelerate their personal growth.第2套：Why student should be encouraged to develop creativity 培养创造力·参考范文：The pace of change in the world is accelerating rapidly and it will continue to change with the development of new technologies. This means that the way we live and work in the past might no longer beappropriate in the coming future. In order to succeed, a powerful way to empower ourselves is to develop creativity.First, being creative helps us become a better problem solver in all areas of our life and work. When trying to find the solution to a problem, thinking creatively allows us to look at the situation from different angles, which opens up the possibilities. Second, being creative helps us better deal with uncertainty. In a constantly changing world, nobody can fully predict what the future holds. New challenges pop up every day, and the old ways of doing things are probably useless. Being creative is how we get unique ideas and how innovators set themselves apart. Thirdly, being creative helps us develop confidence. Being creative comes with many ups and downs and a high risk of failure. Engaging in the creative process is a great confidence builder, because you discover that failure is part of the process.第3套：Why students should be encouraged to develop effective communication skills 培养高效沟通技巧Being essential to many aspects of life, effective communication skills are one of the most sought-after qualities of students today. Strongcommunication skills would bring about more than one benefit in both the short and long run.Good communication techniques bring about a variety of benefits to students. To start with, they enhance one’s ability to share and to understand, which can help to establish firmer bonds among familiars. And they sure serve as a respectable chill pill in an environment full of competition. What’s more, communication skills are crucial to learning and studying. For one thing, people who know how to deliver messages tend to process information more effectively. For another, the ability to communicate allows students to crack confusions in class. Students who are better at talking are generally more confident, so they dare speak up about the problems they have without having much difficulty plucking up their courage. Last but not least, students have to prepare themselves for future working where all must cooperate with others. It is effective communication, more than any professional skills, that makes teamwork and collaborative efforts possible. Having achieved these, the workers-to-be would stand a greater chance of a promotion.In conclusion, for today’s students, it is paramount to develop skills of effective communication, which is incredibly advantageous in both study and work.02六级听力答案六级听力答案第一套：长对话Conversation 1Q1: C) Her claim has been completely disregarded.Q2: A) The ground floor of their cottage was flooded.Q3: D) The woman’s failure to pay her house insurance in time.

2020年12月英语六级考试作文范文（卷三新东方版）2020年12月英语六级考试作文范文（卷三新东方版）第三篇Graphically revealed in this cartoon is that twoyoungsters are having a conversation. However, the moststriking feature of it is that the man on the left is saying without hesitation that he loves reading and his favoritebook is Facebook. Apparently, the purpose of this cartoon unfolds a conspicuous fact that social networking websitesexert adverse impacts on our reading.Several factors can be responsible for this phenomenon. For one thing, with our science and economy enhanced remarkably, people in growing numbers tend to share their moments of life on social networks, and therefore, it is difficult for us toconcentrate on what we want to read. For another, there are various kinds of information on the internet, and as a result, they may be easily distracted by other information so muchthat they may ignore what they are really interested in. To sum up, social network websites may pose a potential and probable threat to our reading. We are supposed to spend more time on reading paper books instead of staying on the social networking websites. Only in this way can we gradually terminate the negative influence of social networking websites.相关推荐：2020年12月英语六级真题及答案专题2020年12月英语四级真题及答案专题2020年12月英语六级成绩查询专题2020年12月英语四级成绩查询专题。

2020年六级长篇阅读练习及答案详解(6) Passage TwoWords： 1,103How Ozone Pollution WorksA) The weather report on the radio or TV tells you thatit is going to be sunny and hot and that an orange ozonealert has been issued. What is ozone? What does an orange alert mean? Why should you be concerned about it? In this article, we will examine what ozone is, how it is produced, what health hazards it poses and what you can do to reduce ozone pollution.B) Ozone is a molecule of three oxygen atoms bound together (O3). It is unstable and highly reactive. Ozone is used as a bleach, a deodorizing agent, and a sterilization agent for air and drinking water. At low concentrations, itis toxic. Ozone is found naturally in small concentrations in the stratosphere, a layer of Earth’s upper atmosphere. In this upper atmosphere, ozone is made when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an oxygen molecule (O2), forming two single oxygen atoms. If a freed atom collides with an oxygen molecule, it becomes ozone. Stratospheric ozone has been called “good” ozone because it protects the Earth’s surface from dangerous ultraviolet light.C) Ozone can also be found in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Tropospheric ozone (often termed “ bad ” ozone) is man - made, a result of air pollution from internal combustion engines and power plants. Automobileexhaust and industrial emissions release a family of nitrogen oxide gases (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), by-products of burning gasoline and coal. NOx and VOC combine chemically with oxygen to form ozone during sunny, high- temperature conditions of late spring, summer and early fall. High levels of ozone are usually formed in the heat of the afternoon and early evening, dissipating during the cooler nights.D) Although ozone pollution is formed mainly in urban and suburban areas, it ends up in rural areas as well, carried by prevailing winds or resulting from cars and trucks thattravel into rural areas. Significant levels of ozonepollution can be detected in rural areas as far as 250 miles downwind from urban industrial zones.E) You can make ozone test strips to detect and monitor ozone levels in your own backyard or around your school. You will need corn starch, filter paper (coffee filters work well) and potassium iodide (can be ordered from a science education supplier such as Carolina Biological Supply or Fisher Scientific). Basically, you make a paste from water, corn starch and potassium-iodide, and you paint this paste onstrips of filter paper. You then expose the strips to the air for eight hours. Ozone in the air will react with the potassium iodide to change the color of the strip. You will also need to know the relative humidity, which you can getfrom a newspaper, weather broadcast or home weather station.F) When you inhale ozone, it travels throughout your respiratory tract. Because ozone is very corrosive, it damages the bronchioles and alveoli in your lungs, air sacsthat are important for gas exchange. Repeated exposure to ozone can inflame lung tissues and cause respiratory infections.G) Ozone exposure can aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma, reduce your lung function and capacity for exercise and cause chest pains and coughing. Young children, adults who are active outdoors and peoplewith respiratory diseases are most susceptible to the high levels of ozone encountered during the summer. In addition to effects on humans, the corrosive nature of ozone can damage plants and trees. High levels of ozone can destroyagricultural crops and forest vegetation.H) To protect yourself from ozone exposure, you should be aware of the Air Quality Index (AQI) in your area every day—you can usually find it in the newspaper or on a morning weather forecast on TV or radio. You should also be familiar with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guide for ozone-alert values.I) What do the numbers in the AQI mean? The AQI measures concentrations of five air pollutants： ozone, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. The EPA has chosen these pollutants as criteria pollutants, but these are not all of the pollutants in the air. These concentrations are compared to a standard set out in federal law. An index value of 100 means that all of the criteria pollutants are at the maximum level that is considered safefor the majority of the population. To reduce your exposureto ozone, you should avoid exercising during afternoon and early evening hours in the summer.。

Part II Listening Comprehension(30minutes) Part III Reading Comprehension(40minutes)Section ADirections: In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bankfollowing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before makingyour choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Pleasemark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet2witha single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.To understand why we should be concerned about how young people read,it helps to know something about the way the ability to read evolved. Unlike the ability to understand and produce spoken language, the ability to read must be painstakingly 36by each individual.The“reading circuits”we construct in the brain can be 37or they can be robust, depending on how often and how38we use them.The deep reader enters a state of hypnotic trance(心醉神迷的状态).When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the pace of their reading39slows. The combination of fast,fluent decoding of words and slow,unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with reflection and analysis. It gives them time to establish an40relationship with the author, the two of them 41in a long and warm conversation like people falling in love.This is not reading as many young people know it. Their reading is instrumental: the difference between what literary critic Frank Kermode calls“carnal(肉体的) reading” and “spiritual reading.” If we allow our offspring to believe carnal reading is all there is — if we don’t open the door to spiritual reading, through an early42on discipline and practice — we will have43them of an enjoyable experience they would not otherwise encounter.Observing young people’s44to digital devices,some progressive educators talk about“meeting kids where they are,”molding instruction around their onscreen habits.This is mistaken.We need, 45, to show them someplace they’ve never been, a place only deep reading can take them.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

2020年12月年夜学英语六级测验谜底剖析Part I Writing【规范版】The Way to SuccessSuccess is something everyone looks for, longs for and dies for. But have you ever considered what success is? Some may hold that success means one has beautiful life, like pretty house, coo l cars and great power. It’s indeed one way to define success. But to me, success is doing something one really feels like doing.To achieve this kind of success, one has to bear in mind three essential prerequisites, namely knowing where your interest really lies in, possessing the strong will to pursue your interest and having the diligence to realize your dream. In other words, they are “what〞“why〞and “how〞of success. It’s really luckily good for one, especially for the younger generation of today to find their dreams, follow them and in the end, make them cometrue and become successful.Although it’s never easy to succeed, progressing with the strong will and diligence towards the right direction,you’ll be the one!【作文剖析】这是一篇谈论文。
