What Is Integrity?
The key to integrity is consistency-not only setting high personal standards for oneself(honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness)but also living up to those standards each and every day.One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical(道德上的)standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed.But a lapse(缺失)of integrity also affects our relationships with others.Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional.Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky Business
We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision, making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure.The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems.We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices.To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts.For example, one who doesn't know the rules a about plagiarism(剽窃)may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required.But the fact that such a violation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct, Ignorance is not a defense.“But Everybody Does It”
Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it.” “I'm not hurting anyone”, or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very elaborate: “I know I'm look at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I’m just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions and avoid excuses, if we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're makingOr Not Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price.A cheater doesn't learn from the test, which deprives(剥夺)him her of an education.Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed.Cheating destroys self-respect and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty and afraid of getting caught.Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems “easier.” This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster.Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences.Cheating Hurts Other, Too Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions “don't count” and don't really hurt anyone.But individual choices have an intense cumulative(累积的)effect.Cheating can spread like a disease.Recent statistics suggest 30％ or more of college students cheat.If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades.Even if there is no curve, cheating “poisons” the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in.(“If I don't cheat I can't compete with those who do”)Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers.The real reward of goof teaching is seeing students learn.But a cheater says.“I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach, all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others.” The end result is a destructive attack on the quality of your education.Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the university and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity Marten If cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble.We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others, if not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless.There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have.The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole.Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being.For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society.Our actions do matter.It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.1.A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______.（A）
A)sticks to them in their daily life B)makes them known to others C)understands their true values D)sees that others also follow them 2.What role does integrity play in personal and professional relationships?（C）A)It helps to create team spirit B)It facilitates communication C)It is the basis of mutual trust D)It inspires mutual respect 3.why must we learn to identify the risks we are going to take？（A）A.To ensure we make responsible choices.B.To avoid being overwhelmed by stress.C.so that we don’t break any rules.D.so that we don’t run into trouble.4.Violation of a rule is misconduct even if _______?（B）A.it has caused no harm.B.it is claimed to be unintentional.C.it has gone unnoticed.D.it is committed with good intentions.5.What should one do if he doesn’t wish to fool himself?（A）A.Avoid making excuses.B.Listen to other people’s advice.C.Make his intensions public.D.Have others watch over his shoulder.6.Those who take risks they regret later on _______.（C）A.will often become more cautious B.are usually very aggressive C.value immediate benefits most.D.may lose everything in the end 7.According to the author, a cheater who doesn’t get caught right away will _______.（A）
A)pay more dearly B)become more confident C)be widely admired D)feel somewhat lucky 8.Cheaters at exam don’t care about their education, all they care about is how to stealing a grade 9.Integrity matters in that all social activities rely on people’s honesty and good faith.10.Many Americans lost faith in the integrity of their political leaders as a result of the Watergate scandal.Section A Directions: 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 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.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.With the world's population estimated to grow from six to nine billion by 2050, researchers.businesses and governments are already dealing with the impact this increase will have on everything from food and water to infrastructure(基础设施)and jobs.Underling all this 47 will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years.Finding the resources to meet this demand in a 48.sustainable way is the cornerstone(基石)of our nation's energy security, and will be one of the major 49 of the 21st century.Alternative forms of energy-bio-fuels, wind and solar, to name a few are 50 being funded and developed, and will play a growing 51 in the world's energy supply.But experts say that even when 52 , alternative energy sources will likely meet only about 30% of the world's energy needs by 2050.For example, even with 53 investments, such as the $93 million for wind energy development 54 in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, important alternative energy sources such as wind and bio-fuels 55 only about 1% of the market today.Energy and sustainability experts say the answer to our future energy needs will likely come from a lot of 56 both traditional and alternative.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype.a US study says.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.The findings of the study so against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them.Because boys generally have more acute vision learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around.“Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modem genre(类型)in which violence and sexism are major themes, ”James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships.“In mixed schools boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, ” the study reported.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

58.It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____.A)Perform relatively better C)behave more responsibly

59.What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
A)It fails more boys than girls academically.B)It focuses more on mixed school education.C)It fails to give boys the attention they need.D)It places more pressure on boys than on girls.60.According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A)teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B)boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C)boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D)teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
61.Which of the following is characteristic of boys according to Abigail James' report?
A)They enjoy being in charge.C)They have sharper vision.B)They conform to stereotypes.D)They are violent and sexist.Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are bated on the following passage.It's an annual argument.Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off and we have no savings to save us.I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday.The joy of a recession means no argument next yearfinancial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable.A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Disputes were characterized by intense verbal(言语上的)aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved and made men, more than women, extremely angry.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women.“People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for.” he explains.“They'll say it's to save to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something.“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what's going on with their finances, but they don't.There seems to be more of a taboo(禁忌)about talking about money than about death.But you both need to know what you're doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately.In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

87.Charity groups organized various activities to raise money for the survivors of the earthquake.(为地震幸存者筹款)
【解析】本题考察动词raise的用法。raise money 表示“筹款”。同时考生要注意survivor（幸存者）的拼写。
88.Linda couldn’t have received my e-mail(不可能收到我的电子邮件), otherwise, she could have replied.【解析】本题考察混合型虚拟语气。otherwise提示我们句子后半句是与过去事实相反（事实是Linda没有回复），因此用could+have+过去分词。句子前半句是在陈述一种事实，从句子后半句could have +过去分词我们可以推断前面“没有收到我的电子邮件”也是在发生在过去，且对现在产生了影响（还没有收到回信），因此这里用现在完成时，could have +过去分词。
89.It’s my mother who/that keeps encouraging me not to lose heart(一直鼓励我不要灰心)when I have difficulties in my study.【解析】本题考察了强调句型和动词encourage的搭配。①强调句型it’s „ that/who„ ②encourage sb.(not)to do sth.鼓励某人（不）做某事。

【点评】
今年的大学英语六级考试题型改革后，翻译题从之前的单句汉译英“换装”为段落汉译英，这对于考生来说，无疑是一个更大的挑战。很多考生一看到整段的汉译英题目就头疼，因为他们对于这个题目太陌生了。从单句到段落的翻译，标志着国家对于考生英语水平的要求已经提高到了一个全新的层面。段落翻译考查的是考生的英语综合水平。
但从真题的出题角度来看，这次考试还是对考生相当得仁慈，考题要比考试样章中的题目来得简单得多。整篇翻译题就像是一篇四级作文，属于观点对立型的。主要是针对学校是否应该将信息技术这门课作为学生的必修课。其中阐述了两类人群的不同观点，这像极了我们四级考试作文题。比作文题还要简单的是，段落翻译已经给出了考生写作的思想，考生只需将其翻译成英文即可。
从真题的出题内容来看，这次的翻译题也没有考那些考生不熟悉的话题，而是对考生特别熟悉的信息技术进行了考查。而且，整篇翻译原文中并没有特别长的句子和特别难的表达。相信考生肯定可以从容应对的。
