翻译三：中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。

例如，土豪（tuhao）和大妈（dama）都是老词，但是已获取了新的意义。

土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用指花钱如流水或者喜欢炫耀财富的人，也就是说，土豪有钱，但没有品位。

大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但现在特指不久前金价下跌时大量购买黄精的中国妇女。

土豪和大妈可能会被人收入新版牛津（Oxford）英语词典，至今已有约120个中文词被加进了牛津英语词典，成为了英语语言的一部分。

【参考译文】Beijing is going to invest 760 billion yuan in next three years to control pollution, beginning with cutting down the emission of PM 2.5 . his newly announced project aims to reduce four major sources of pollution, including exhaust from 5000 thousand motor vehicles,coal-burning in surrounding areas, sandstorms from the north and local construction dust. Another 85 billion yuan is used to build or upgrade the facilities of disposing garbage and sewage of the city. In addition,30 billion to support afforestation programs in next three years.The municipal government also plans to construct some plants to use cycle water, banning illegal constructions to modify the environment. Furthermore, Beijing will punish those who violate the rules of emission-reduction more severely.【参考译文】Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report about its latest scientific findings and the prospect of the next year. The report consists of three parts: science development, more advanced technology development and the sustainable strategy of China. The first one includes the latest findings of Chinese scientists, such as the research of newparticle and the breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus. Furthermore, it highlights some problems we need to focus in next few yearsThe second one announces some heated fields in applied science. For exa mple, the 3-dimension print and the study of human organs. The third one suggests people enhance the top design in order to get rid of the structural obstacles in industrial upgrading and to promote the energy-sav ing and emission-reduction.【参考译文】The Chinese heated words usually reflect social changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they get different meanings now. The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords who oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spending money without limits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarded as a special word to call those Chinese women who rushed to purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharp ly not long ago. Tuhao and dama may be included in the new Oxford dicti onary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to it, becom ing a part of English language.。

2014 年 6 月大学英语六级考试真题Part I WritingD i r e ct i o n s:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something. You can give examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.Now it is widely believed that jumping to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something is unscientific and thoughtless. We do not have to look very far to find out the truth of this argument.Sometimes what we see or hear is probably staying merely on the surface of things, thus the judgment we make under such circumstances often cannot hold water. For example, when a mother came to her son with two apples in her hand, she told her son to select one apple. The son quickly took one bite and then another before he gave his mother an apple. At first thought, we may regard this son as selfish and impious.However, when we learn that the reason why the boy did this is just for the purpose of checking out which apple is tasty, and the apple he handed his mother is more delicious than the rest one, we should condemn ourselves with shame and regret.To sum up, before making a judgment, we should have a deep analysis of the whole matter. Only in that way can we draw the correct conclusion.Part II L i s t e n i n g ComprehensionPart III R e ad i n g C o m p r e h e ns i onSect i o n AD i r e ct i o n s: 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 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 li ne through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 a r e based on the following pa ss ag e.Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retire-ment. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving for-to spend more time 36 N the grandkids, go travelling, or start another career? It turns out that husbands and wives may have 37 K different ideas about the subject.The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years. Fidelity In- vestments Inc. found 41 percent of the 500 couples it surveyed 38 C on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement. Wives are generally right regarding their husbands’retirement age, but men 39 O the age their wives will be when they stop working. And husbands are slightly more 40 I about their standard of living than wives are.Busy juggling (穷于应付)careers and families, most couples don’t take the time to sit down, 41M or together, and think about what they would like to do 5, 10, or 20 years from now. They 42 A they are on the same page, but the 43 L is they have avoided even talking about it.If you are self-employed or in a job that doesn’t have a standard retirement age, you may be more apt to delay thinking about these issues. It is often a 44 E retirement date that provides the c at-a lyst (催化剂)to start planning. Getting laid off or accepting an early-retirement 45 J can force your hand. But don’t wait until you get a severance (遣散费) check to begin planning.S e ct i o n BWhat If Middle-Class J o b s D i s a ppe a r?A) The most recent recession in the United States began in December of 2007 and ended in June of2009, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. However, two years after the of- ficial end of the recession, few Americans would say that economic troubles are behind us. The unemployment rate, in particular, remains above 9%. Some labour market indicators, such as the proportion of long-term unemployed, are worse now than for any post-war recession.B) There are two widely circulated narratives to explain what’s going on. The Keynesian narrativeis that there has been a major drop in aggregate demand. According to this narrative, the slump can be largely cured by using monetary and fiscal (财政的) stimulus. The main anti-Keynesian narrative is that businesses are suffering from uncertainty and over-regulation. According to this narrative, the slump can be cured by having the government commit to and follow a morehands-off approach.C)I want to suggest a third interpretation. Without ruling out a role for aggregate demand or for theregulatory environment, I wish to suggest that structural change is an important factor in the cur- rent rate of high unemployment. The economy is in a state of transition, in which the mid-dle-class jobs that emerged after World War II have begun to decline. As Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee put it in a recent e-book Race Against the Machine: “The root of our problems is not that we’re in a great recession, or a great stagnation (停滞), but rather that we are in the early throes (阵痛) of a great restructuring.”D) In fact, I believe that the Great Depression of the 1930s can also be interpreted in part as an eco-nomictransition. The impact of the internal combustionengine (内燃机) and the small electric motor on farming and manufacturing reduced the value of uneducated labourers. Instead, by the 1950s, a middle class of largely clerical (从事文秘工作的)workers was the most significant part of the labour force. Between 1930 and 1950, the United States economy underwent a Great Transition. Demand fell for human effort such as lifting, squeezing, and hammering. Demand in- creased for workers who could read and follow directions. The evolutionary process eventually changed us from a nation of labourers to a nation of clerks.E) The proportion of employment classified as “clerical workers” grew from 5.2% in 1910 to a peak of 19.3percent in 1980. “However, by 2000 this proportion had edged down to 17.4 %”Over- all, workers classified as clerical workers, technical workers, managers, officials exceeded 50% of the labour force by 2000. Corresponding declines took place in the manual occupations. Workers classified as labourers, other than farm hands or miners, peaked at 11.4% of the labour force in 1920 but were barely 6% by 1950 and less than 4% by 2000. Farmers and farm labourers fell from 33% of the labour force in 1910 to less than 15% by 1950 and only 1.2% in 2000.F)The introduction of the tractor and improvements in the factory rapidly reduced the demand foruneducated workers. By the 1930s, a marginal farm hand could not produce enough to justify his employment. Sharecropping, never much better than a subsistence occupation, was no longer visable ( 可行的). Meanwhile, machines were replacing manufacturing occupations like cigar rolling and glass blowing for light bulbs.G)The structural-transition interpretation of the unemployment problem of the 1930s would be that thedemand for uneducated workers in the United States had fallen, but the supply remained high. The high school graduation rate was only 8.8% in 1912 and still just 29% in 1931. By 1950, it had reached 59% . With a new generation of workers who had completed high school, the mismatch between skills and jobs had been greatly reduced.H) What took place after the Second World War was not the revival of a 1920s economy, with its smallfarming units, urban manufacturing, and plurality of labourers. Instead, the 1950s saw the creation of a new suburban economy, with a plurality of white-collar workers. With an expanded transportation and communications infrastructure (基础设施), businesses needed telephone op-erators, shipping clerks, and similar occupations. If you could read, follow simple instructions, and settle into a routine, you could finda job in the post-war economy.I)The trend away from manual labour has continued. Even within the manufacturing sector, the shareof production and non-supervisory workers in manufacturing employment went from over 85% just after the Second World War to less than 70% in more recent years. To put this another way, the proportion of white-collar work in manufacturing has doubled over the past 50 years. On the factory floor itself, work has become less physically demanding. Instead, it requires more cognitive skills and the ability to understand and carry out well-defined procedures.J)As noted earlier, the proportion of clerical workers in the economy peaked in 1980. By that date, computers and advanced communications equipment had already begun to affect telephone oper- ations and banking. The rise of the personal computer and the Internet has widened the impact of these technologies to include nearly every business and industry.K) The economy today differs from that of a generation ago. Mortgage and consumer loan und er-writers (风险评估人)have been replaced by credit scoring. Record stores have been replaced by music downloads. Book stores are closing, while sales of books on electronic readers have in- creased. Data entry has been moved off shore. Routine customer support also has been out- s ourced (外包) overseas.L） These trends serve to limit the availability of well-defined jobs. If a job can be characterized by a precise set of instructions, then that job is a candidate to be automated or outsourced to modestly educated workers in developing countries. The result is what David Autor calls the polarization of the American job market.M）Using the latest Census Bureau data, Matthew Slaughter found that from 2000 to 2010 the real earnings of college graduates （with no advanced degree）fell by more in percentage terms than the earnings of high school graduates. In fact, over this period the only education category to show an increase in earnings was those with advanced degrees.N)The outlook for mid-skill jobs would not appear to be bright. Communication technology and computer intelligence continue to improve, putting more occupations at risk. For example, many people earn a living as drivers, including trucks and taxicabs. However, the age of driver-less ve- hicles appears to be moving closer. Another example is in the field of education. In the fall of 2011, an experiment with an online course in artificial intelligence conducted by two Stanford professors drew tens of thousands of registrants (报名者). This increases the student-teacher ra-tio by a factor of close to a thousand. Imagine the number of teaching jobs that might be elimi- nated if this could be done for math, economics, chemistry, and so on.O) It’s important to bear in mind that when we offer a structural interpretation of unemployment, a “loss of jobs”means an increase in productivity. Traditionally, economists have argued that pro- ductivity increases are a good thing, even though they may cause unemployment for some work- ers in the short run. In the long run, the economy does not run out of jobs. Rather, new jobs e- merge as old jobs disappear. The story we tell is that average well-being rises, and the more that people are able to adapt, the more widespread the improvement becomes.注意院此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答遥46. Even factory floor work today has become intellectually challenging rather than physically demand- ing. I47. Increases in productivity prove beneficial though some people may lose their jobs temporarily.O48. The unemployment rate remained high even two years after the government declared the recent re- cessionwas over.A49. The author suggests that the recent high unemployment rate is mainly caused by a decrease of mid- dle-class jobs.C50. The creation of a suburban economy in the 1950s created lots of office jobs.H51. In the first decade of the 21st century, only people with postgraduate degrees experienced an in- crease inearnings.M52. One economics theory suggests using monetary and fiscal stimulus to cope with an economic re-cession.B53. The popularity of online courses may eliminate many teaching jobs.N54. Computer technology has brought about revolutionary changes in the record and book business.K55. White-collar workers accounted for more than half of the labour force by the end of the 20th century. ES e ct i o n CPassage O neQuestions 56 to 60 a r e based on the following pa ss a g e.“Deep reading”-as opposed to the often superficial reading we do on the Web-is an endan- gered practice, one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art.Its disappearance would jeopardize the intellectual and emotional development of gener- ations growing up online, as well as the preservation of a critical part of our culture: the novels, po-ems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains, quite literally, have been trained to apprehend them.Recent research in cognitive science and psychology has demonstrated that deep reading-slow, immersive, rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity is a distinctive experi- ence, different in kind from the mere decoding of words. Although deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a conventional book, the built-in limits of the printed page are uniquely helpful to the deep reading experience. A book’s lack of hyperlinks “超链接”, for example, frees the reader from making decisions. Should I click on this link or not?-allowing her to remain fully immersed in the narrative.That immersion is supported by the way the brain handles language rich in detail, indirect refer- ence and figures of speech: by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if the scene were unfolding in real life. The emotional situations and moral dilemmas that are the stuff of literature are also vigorous exercise for the brain, propelling us inside the heads of fictional characters and even, studies suggest, increasing our real-life capacity for empathy(认同).None of this is likely to happen when we’re browsing through a website. Although we call the activity by the same name, the deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are very different, both in the experience they produce and in the capacities they develop. A growingbody of evidence suggests that online reading may be less engaging and less satisfying, even for the “digital natives”for whom it is so familiar. Last month, for example, Britain’s National Lit-eracy Trust released the results of a study of 34,910 young people aged 8 to 16. Researchers reported that 39% of children and teens read daily using electronic devices, but only 28% read printed materi- als every day. Those who read only onscreen were three times less likely to say they enjoy reading very much and a third less likely to have a favorite book. The study also found that young people who read daily only onscreen were nearly two times less likely to be above-average readers than those who read daily in print or both in print and onscreen.56. What does the author say about”deep reading’?A) It serves as a complement to online reading.B) It should be preserved before it is too late.C) It is mainly suitable for reading literature.D) It is an indispensable part of education.57. Why does the author advocate the reading of literature?A) It helps promote readers’ intellectual and emotional growth.B) It enables readers to appreciate the complexity of language.C)It helps readers build up immersive reading habits.D) It is quickly becoming an endangered practice.58. In what way does printed-page reading differ from online reading?A) It ensures the reade r’s cognitive growth.B) It enables the reader to be fully engaged.C） It activates a different region of the brain.D) It helps the reader learn rhetorical devices.59. What do the studies show about online reading?A) It gradually impairs one’s eyesight.B) It keeps arousing readers’ curiosity.C) It provides up-to-date information.D) It renders reading less enjoyable.60. What do we learn from the study released by Britain’s National Literacy Turst?A) Onscreen readers may be less competent readers.B) Those who do reading in print are less informed.C) Young people find reading onscreen more enjoyable.D) It is now easier to find a favourite book online to read.Passage T woQuestions 61 to 65 a r e based on the following pa ss a g e.Many current discussions of immigration issues talk about immigrants in general, as if they were abstract people in an abstract world. But the concrete differences between immigrants from dif- ferent countries affect whether their coming here is good or bad for the American people.The very thought of formulating immigration laws from the standpoint of what is best for the American people seems to have been forgotten by many who focus on how to solve the problems of illegal immigrants.It is hard to look for “the ideal outcome” on immigration in the abstract. Economics ProfessorMilton Friedman once said, “The best is the enemy of the goo d”which to me meant that attempts to achieve an unattainable ideal can prevent us from reaching good outcomes that are possible in prac- tice.Too much of our current immigration controversy is conducted in terms of abstract ideals, such as “We are a nation of immigrants.”Of course we are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a na-tion of people who wear shoes. Does it follow that we should admit anybody who wears shoes?The immigrants of today are very different in many ways from those who arrived here a hun- dred years ago. Moreover, the society in which they arrive is different. To me, it is better to build a wall around the welfare state than the country.But the welfare state is already here-and, far from having a wall built around it, the welfare state is expanding in all directions. We do not have a choice between the welfare state and open bor- ders. Anything we try to do as regards immigration laws has to be done in the context of a huge wel- fare state that is already a major, inescapable fact of life.Among other facts of life utterly ignored by many advocates of de facto amnesty (事实上的大赦) is that the free international movement of people is different from free international trade in goods.Buying cars or cameras from other countries is not the same as admitting people from those countries or any other countries. Unlike inanimate objects, people have cultures and not all cultures are compatible with the culture in this country that has produced such benefits for the American peo- ple for so long.Not only the United States, but the Western world in general, has been discovering the hard way that admitting people with incompatible cultures is an irreversible decision with incalculable consequences. If we do not see that after recent terrorist attacks on the streets of Boston and London, when will we see it?“Comprehensive immigration reform”means doing everything all together in a rush, without time to look before we leap, and basing ourselves on abstract notions about abstract people.61. What does the author say about immigrants in America?A) They all hope to gain citizenship and enjoy the welfare.B) They come to America with different dreams and purposes.C) Their background may determine whether they benefit the American people.D) Their cultures affect the extent to which they will achieve success in America.62. What does the author try to say by citing Milton Friedman’s remark?A) It is hardly practical to find an ideal solution to America’s immigration problem.B) Ideal outcomes could be produced only by comprehensive immigration reform.C) As for immigration, good results cannot be achieved without good intentions.D) The proper solution of immigration issues is an ideal of the American public.63. What is the author’s view regarding America’s immigration policy?A) America should open its borders to immigrants from different countries.B) Immigrants have contributed greatly to the welfare of American people.C) Unrestricted immigration will undermine the American welfare state.D) There is no point building a wall around the American welfare state.64. What is the author;s purpose in citing the recent terrorist attacks on the streets of Boston and London?A) To show that America should join hands with Europe in fighting terrorists.B) To prove that it is high time America made comprehensive immigration reforms.C) To prove that terrorism is the most dangerous threat to America and the world in general.D) To show that immigrants’ cultural incompatibility with the host country has consequences.65. What is the author”s attitude towards :comprehensive immigration reform”?A) Supportive. B) Negative.C) Wait-and-see. D) Indifferent.Part IV TranslationEnglish.

Municipal bonds, also secure, are offered by local governments and often have 36 such as tax-free interest. Some may even be 37. Corporate bonds are a bit more risky.Two questions often 38 first-time corporate bond investors. The first is "If I purchase acorporate bond, do I have to hold it until the maturity date?"

For example, if your bond does not have 40 that make it attractive to other investors, you may be forced to sell your bond at a 41 ,i.e., a price less than the bond's face value. But if your bond is highly valued by other investors, you maybe able to sell it at a premium, i. e., a price above its face value. Bond prices generally 42 inversely (相反地) with current market interest rates. As interest rates go up, bond prices fall, and viceversa (反之亦然). Thus, like all investments, bonds have a degree of risk.The second question is "How can I 43 the investment risk of a particular bond issue?"Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service rate the level of risk of many corporate and government bonds.

Students hate them because they producefear and 26 about being evaluated, and a focus on grades instead oflearning for learning's sake.But tests are also valuable. A well-constructed test 27 what you know and what you still need to learn. Tests help you see how your performance 28 that of others. And knowing that you'll be tested on 29 materialis certainly likely to 30 you to learn the material more thoroughly.However, there's another reason you might dislike tests: You may assume that tests have the power to 31 your worth as a person. If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted to believe that you've received some 32 information about yourself from the professor, information that says you're a failure in some significant way.This is a dangerous-and wrong-headed-assumption.If you do badly on a test, it doesn't meanyou're a bad person or stupid. Or that you'll never do better again, and that your life is 33 . If you don't do well on a test, you're the same person you were before you took the test-no better, no worse. You just did badly on a test: That's it.34 , tests are not a measure of your value as an individual-they are a measure only of howwell and how much you studied. Tests are tools; they are indirect and 35 measures of what we know.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Answer the questions by markingthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Lessons from a Feminist Paradise[A] On the surface, Sweden appears to be a feminist paradise. Look at any global survey of genderequality and Sweden will be near the top. Family-friendly policies are its norm-with 16 months of paid parental leave, special protections for part-time workers, and state-subsidized preschoolswhere, according to a government website, "gender-awareness education is increasinglycommon. " Due to an unofficial quota system, women hold 45 percent of positions in the Swedish parliament. They have enjoyed the protection of government agencies with titles like the Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality and the Secretariat of Gender Research. So why are American women so far ahead of their Swedish counterparts in breaking through the glass ceiling?[ B] In a 2012 report,, the World Economic Forum found that when it comes to closing the gender gap in "economic participation and opportunity," the United States is ahead of not only Sweden butalso Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Sweden'srank in the report can largely be explained by its political quota system. Though the United States has fewer women in the workforce (68 percent compared to Sweden's 77 percent) , American women who choose to be employed are far more likely to work full-time and to hold high-level jobs as managers or professionals. They also own more businesses, launch more start-ups (新创办的企业) ,and more often work in traditionally male fields. As for breaking through the glass ceiling in business, American women are well in the lead.[ C] What explains the American advantage? How can it be that societies like Sweden, where gender equality is vigorously pursued and enforced, have fewer female managers, executives,professionals, and business owners than the laissez-faire (⾃由放任的) United States? A new study by Cornell economists Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn gives an explanation.[D] Generous parental leave policies and readily available part-time options have unintendedconsequences: instead of strengthening women's attachment to the workplace, they appear toweaken it. In addition to a 16-month leave, a Swedish parent has the right to work six hours a day (for a reduced salary) until his or her child is eight years old. Mothers are far more likely than fathers to take advantage of this law. But extended leaves and part-time employment are known to be harmful to careers-for both genders. And with women a second factor comes into play: most seem to enjoy the flexible-time arrangement ( once known as the"mommy track") and never find their way back to full-time or high-level employment. In sum:generous family-friendly policies do keep more women in the labor market, but they also tend to diminish their careers.[E] According to Blau and Kahn, Swedish-style paternal (⽗亲的) leave policies and flexible-timearrangements pose a second threat to women's progress: they make employers cautious abouthiring women for full-time positions at all. Offering a job to a man is the safer bet. He is far less likely-to take a year of parental leave and then return on a reduced work schedule for the next eight years.[F] I became aware of the trials of career-focused European women a few years ago when I met apost-doctoral student from Germany who was then a visiting fellow at Johns Hopkins. She was astonished by the professional possibilities afforded to young American women. Her best hope in Germany was a government job-prospects for women in the private sector were dim. "InGermany," she told me,"we have all the benefits, but employers don't want to hire us."[G] Swedish economists Magnus Henrekson and Mikael Stenkula addressed the following question intheir 2009 study: why are there so few female top executives in the European egalitarian（平等主义的）welfare states? Their answer: "Broad-based welfare-state policies hinder women'srepresentation in elite competitive positions. "[H] It is tempting to declare the Swedish policies regressive (退步的) and hail the American system assuperior. But that would be shortsighted.The Swedes can certainly take a lesson from the United States:and look for ways to clear a path for their ambitious female careerists. But most women arenot committed careerists. When the Pew Research Center recently asked American parents to identify their "ideal" life arrangement, 47 percent of mothers said they would prefer to work part- time and 20 percent said they would prefer not towork at all. Fathers answered differently: 75 percent preferred full-time work. Some version of the Swedish system might work well for a majority of American parents, but the United States is unlikely to fully embrace the Swedish model. Still, we can learn from their experience.[I] Despite its failure to shatter the glass ceiling, Sweden has one of the most powerful and innovativeeconomies in the world. In its 2011-2012 survey, the World Economic Forum ranked Sweden as the world's third most competitive economy; the United States came in fifth. Sweden, dubbed the "rockstar of the recovery" in the Washington Post, also leads the world in life satisfaction and happiness. It is a society well worth studying, and its efforts to conquer the gender gap impart a vital lesson-though not the lesson the Swedes had in mind.[ J] Sweden has gone farther than any other nation on earth to integrate the sexes and to offer women thesame opportunities and freedoms as men. For decades, these descendants of the Vikings have been trying to show the world that the right mix of enlightened policy, consciousness raising, and non-sexist child rearing would close the gender divide once and for all. Yet the divide persists.[ K] A 2012 press release from Statistics Sweden bears the title" Gender Equality in Sweden Treading （踩）Water"and notes:The total income from employment for all ages is lower for women than for men.One in three employed women and one in ten employed men work pa rt-time.Women's working time is influenced by the number and age of their children, but men's working time is not affected by these factors.Of all employees, only 13 percent of the women and 12 percent of the me n have occupations with an even distribution of the sexes.[ L]Confronted with such facts, some Swedish activists and legislators are demanding more extreme and far-reaching measures, such as replacing male and female pronouns with a neutral alternative and monitoring children more closely to correct them when they gravitate（被吸引）toward gendered play. When it came to light last year that mothers, far more than fathers, chose to stay home from work to care for their sick kids, Ulf Kristersson, minister of social security, quickly commissioned a study to determine the causes of and possible cures for. this disturbing state of affairs.[M] Swedish family policies, by accommodating women's preferences effectively, are reducing the number of women in elite competitive positions. The Swedes will;find this paradoxical and try to find solutions. Let us hope these do not include banning gender pronouns, policing children's play, implementing more. gender quotas, or treating women's special attachment to home and family as a social injustice. Most mothers do not aspire to (向往) elite, competitive full-time positions: the Swedish policies have given them the freedom and opportunity tolive the lives they prefer. Americans should look past the gender rhetoric and consider what these Scandinavians have achieved. On their way to creating a feminist .paradise, the Swedes have unintentionally Createda haven（避风港）for normal mortals.46.Sweden has done more than other nations to close the gender gap, but it continues to exist.47.Sweden is one of the most competitive economies in theworld and its people enjoy the greatest lifesatisfaction.48. More American women hold elite job positions in business than Swedish women.49. Swedish family-friendly policies tend to exert a negative influence on women's careers.50. The quota system in Sweden ensures women's better representation in government .51. Though the Swedish model appears workable for most American parents,it may not be accepted by them in its entirety.52. Swedish women are allowed the freedom and opportunity to choose their own way of life. .53. Swedish employers are hesitant about hiring women for full-time positions because of the family-friendly policies.54.Gender-awareness education is becoming more and more popular in state-subsidized preschools in Sweden.55.Some lawmakers in Sweden propose that genderless pronouns be used in the Swedish language. 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)andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Texting has long been bemoaned (哀叹) as the downfall of the written word, " penmanship for illiterates," as one critic called it. To which the proper response is LOL. Texting properly isn't writing at all. It's a "spoken" language that is getting richer and more complex by the year.First, some historical perspective. Writing was only invented 5,500 years age, whereas language probably traces back at least 80,000 years. Thus talking came first ; writing is just a craft that came along later. As such, the first writing was based on the .way people talk, with short sentences. However, while talking is largely subconscious and rapid, writing is;deliberate and slow. Over time, writers took advantage of this and started crafting long-winded sentences such as this one:" The whole engagement lasted above 12 hours,till the gradual retreat of the Persians was changed into a disorderly flight, of which the shameful example was given by the principalleaders and..."No one talks like that casually-or should. But it is natural to desire to:do so for special occasions. In the old days, we didn't much write like talking because there was no mechanism to reproduce the speed of conversation. But texting and instant messaging do-and a revolution has begun. It involves the crude mechanics of writing, but in its-economy, spontaneity and even vulgarity, texting is actually a new kind of talking, with its own kind of grammar and conventions.Take LOL. It doesn't actually mean "laughing out loud" in a literal sense anymore. LOL has evolved into something much subtler and sophisticated and is used even when nothing is remotely amusing. Jocelyn texts " Where have you been?" and Annabelle texts back "LOL at the library studyingfor two hours. " LOL signals basic empathy(同感) between texters, easing tension and creating a senseof equality. Instead of having a literal meaning, it does something-conveying an attitude-just like the-ed ending conveys past tense rather than "meaning" anything. LOL, of all things, is grammar.Of-course no one thinks about that consciously. But then most of communication operates without being noticed. Over time, the meaning of a word or an expression drifts-meat used to mean any kindof food, silly used to mean, believe it or not, blessed.Civilization, then, is fine-people banging away on their smartphones are fluently using a codeseparate from the one they use in actual writing, and there is no evidence that texting is ruining composition skills; Worldwide people speak differently from the way they write, and texting-quick, casual and only intended to be read once-is actually a way of talking with your fingers.56. What do critics say about texting?A) It is mainly confined to youngsters. C)It will ruin the written language.B) It competes with traditional writing. D) It is often hard to understand.57. In what way does the author say writing is different from talking?A) It is crafted with specific skills. C) It does not have as long a history.B) It expresses ideas more accurately. D) It is not as easy to comprehend.58. Why is LOL much used in texting?A) It brings texters closer to each other. C) It is a trendy way to communicate.B) It shows the texter's sophistication. D) It adds to the humor of the text.59. Examples like meat and silly are cited to show _____.A) the difference between writing and talking C) why people use the words the way they doB) how differently words are usedin texting D) the gradual change of word meaning60. What does the author think of texting?A) It facilitates exchange ofideas among people. C) It deteriorates people's composition skills.B) It is a new form of verbal communication. D) It hastens the decline of the written word. Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.It's possible to admire Oprah Winfrey and still wish Harvard hadn't awarded her an honorary doctor oflaw degree and the commencement (毕业典礼) speaker spot at yesterday's graduation.There's no question Oprah's achievements place her in the temple of American success stories. Talent, charm, and an exceptional work ethic have rarely hurled anyone as far as they have this former abused teenage mother from rural Mississippi who became one of the world's most successful entertainment icons and the first African-American female billionaire.Honorary degrees are often conferred on non-academic leaders in the arts, business, and politics. Harvard's list.in recent years has included KofiAnnan, BillGates, Meryl Streep, and David Souter.But Oprah's particular brand of celebrity is not a good fit for the values of a university whose motto ( 座右铭) , Veritas, means truth. Oprah's passionate advocacy extends, unfortunately, to a hearty embrace of fake science. Most notoriously, Oprah's validation of Jenny McCarthy's claim that vaccines cause autism (⾃闭症) has no doubt contributed to much harm through the foolish avoidance of vaccines. Famous people are entitled to a few failings, like the rest of us, and the choice of commencement speakers often reflects a balance of institutional priorities and aspirations. Judgingfrom our conversations with many students, Oprah was a widely popular choice.But this vote of confidence in Oprah sends a troubling message at precisely the time when American universities need to do more to advance the cause of reason. As former Dean of Harvard College, Harry Lewis, noted in a blog post about his objections, "It seems very odd for Harvard to honor such a high profile popularizer of the irrational...at a time when political and religious nonsense so jeopardize the rule of reason in this allegedly enlightened democracy and around the world.”As America's oldest and most visible university, Harvard hasa special opportunity to convey its respect for science not only through its research and teaching programs but also inits public affirmationof evidence-based inquiry.Unfortunately, many American universities seem awfully busy protecting their brand name and notnearly busy enough protecting the pursuit of knowledge.A recent article in The Harvard Crimsonnoted the shocking growth of Harvard's public relations arm in the last five years and it questioned whether a focus on risk management and avoiding controversy was really the best outward-looking faceof this great institution.As American research universities begin to resemble profit centers and entertainment complexes,it's easy to lose sight of their primary mission: to produce and spread knowledge．This mission depends on traditions of rational discourse and vigorous defense of the scientific method. Oprah Winfrey's honorary doctorate was astep in the wrong direction.61. What do we learn about Oprah Winfrey from the passage?A) She was a distinguished graduate of Harvard School of Law.B) She worked her way to success in the entertainment industry.C) She used to abuse her children when she wasa young mother.D) She achieved her fame through persistent advocacy of fake science.62. Why does the author deem it inappropriate for Harvard to confer an honorary degree onOprah Winfrey?A) She did not specialize in the study of law.B) She was known ass supporter of fake science.C) She was an icon of the entertainment industry.D) She had not distinguished herself academically.63. How did Harry Lewis react to Harvard's decision in his blog post?A) He was strongly against it.B) He considered it unpopular.C) He thought it would help enhance Harvard's reputation.D) He thought it represented the will of the Harvard community.64. What is the author's regret about many American universities?A) They show inadequate respect for evidence-based inquiry.B) They fall short of expectations in teaching and research.C) They attach too much importance to public relations.D) They are tolerant of political and religious nonsense.65. What does the author think a prestigious university like Harvard should focus on?A) Cultivation of student creativity. C) Liberation of the human mind.B) Defense of the scientific method. D) Pursuit of knowledge and truth.PartⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

6月英语六级作文真题带答案一2014年6月英语六级作文真题带答案（一）【2014年6月英语六级作文真题】Forthis part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it isunwise to judge a person by their appearance. You can give explain toillustrate your point .You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200words。

2014年6月英语六级作文范文：不要以貌取人(一)It is a truth universally acknowledged that the criteria of judging a person are extremely complex.Various as the standards might be, judging a person by apperance is the most unreliable one. As a famous saying goes, it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance. This proverb aims to deliver the message that in order to truly know a person, we need to go beyond their looks and dresses and focus on more profound aspects.There are several reasons supportive of this statement. Firstly, people are so diverse that some of them are not willing to demonstrate themeselves by their apperance because they may dedicate more time to their work and their hobbies. Moreover, it is too busy for the modern urban people to maintain their appearance. If we judge a person by their appearance when he or she is in a bad state, we might lose a possible good friend or an opportunity. For instance, yesterday the dean of our department, on his way to the teaching building for an emergent meeting with an important investor, fell to the ground and got very dirty. But the new security, taking him for a beggar or a vendor, didn’t allow the dean to enter t he building. Finally, the security was fired for his arbitrary judgment.To conclude, judging a person by their appearance is highlyundependable. Therefore, we’d better draw a conclusion about a person through a long period of observations, interactions, and communication.2014年6月英语六级作文范文：不要以貌取人(二)Currently, judging people by appearance has already become a common practice in our daily life. Is it wise to do this? The answer is definitely not.Admittedly, a good and charming appearance will leave others a good impression for the first place. However, just as an old saying goes’"Never judge a book by its cover", it is not wise to judge one by appearance for the reasons given below. For one thing, along with the development of science, plastic surgery can ch ange one’s appearance, so good looking cannot reflect one’s true inner thought. Thought the history, we can find ample handsome boys and girls who turn out to be dangerous ones. For another, appearance is not the only element judging others, but there are many aspects more important than it, such as kindness, warmheartedness and its like.To summarize, judging people by appearance is the wise choice. Therefore I suggest that we should pay more attention to one’s inner thought and quality rather than one’s a ppearance.2014年6月英语六级作文范文：不要以貌取人(三)Do Not Judge Others by AppearanceIt is unwise, as the remark has it, to judge a person by appearance. Just like what conveyed in the saying, we can learn the significance of inner strength far outweigh that of the appearance.The reasons why we should not focus our attention on appearance involve factors in mounting numbers. They can be briefly summed up as follows. Initially, as time goes on,appearance changes, it cannot be kept forever. On the contrary, in contemporary society in order to cater to a wrong value, an increasing number of girls do cosmetic surgery, which is not necessary. Additionally, it is our ability that shows what we truly are, not our appearance. Inner quality speaks louder than appearance. Finally, sincere and long-term communication can let you understand others. If you just dislike someone for the sake of poor appearance, you will lose an opportunity to have a good friend.Just like Alexander the Great said, “Remember upon the conduct of each dep ends the fate of all.” It is a truth universally acknowledged that a merry heart goes all the way rather than good appearance.

• The Chinese buzzwords usually reflect social changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular in the foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they acquire new meanings now. • The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords who oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spending money without limits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarded as a special word to call those Chinese women who rushed to purchase gold when the gold price slumped/decreased sharply not long ago. • Tuhao and dama may be included in the new version of Oxford dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to it, becoming a part of English language.

You can give explain to illustrate your point .You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words .（分数：106.50）__________________________________________________________________________________________正确答案：( It is a truth universally acknowledged that the criteria of judging a person are extremely complex.Various as the standards might be, judging a person by appearance is the most unreliable one. As a famous saying goes, it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance. This proverb aims to deliver the message that in order to truly know a person, we need to go beyond their looks and dresses and focus on more profound aspects. There are several reasons supportive of this statement. Firstly, people are so diverse that some of them are not willing to demonstrate themeselves by their appearance because they may dedicate more time to their work and their hobbies. Moreover, it is too busy for the modern urban people to maintain their appearance. If we judge a person by their appearance when he or she is in a bad state, we might lose a possible good friend or an opportunity. For instance, yesterday the dean of our department, on his way to the teaching building for an emergent meeting with an important investor, fell to the ground and got very dirty. But the new security, taking him for a beggar or a vendor, didn’t allow the dean to enter the building. Finally, the security was fired for his arbitrary judgment. To conclude, judging a person by their appearance is highly undependable. Therefore, we’d better draw a conclusion about a person through a long period of observations, interactions, and communication.)解析：这篇文章的题型没有很难，可以直接当做引言类的文章来写。
