PartⅠ Writing
范文: Abundant recreational activities are available for people to release their strain and stress, ranging from sports to online activities.There is going on a hot debate arguing whether they are good for the public or not, especially for college students.As for such a question, different people hold different views.Some believe that recreation is helpful if we want to keep healthy physically and mentally.While there also sounds an opposite voice, which claims that activities also bring many problems.For example, some young people are easily addicted to the virtual world online, which affects their study seriously and may lead to worse consequences as well.As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm.They do give us a good chance, and efficiency too.As long as we can arrange the time reasonably, they will definitely provide more benefits for us.PartⅡ Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.A)2.D)3.B)4.C)5.A)6.B)7.C)

Passage Two Loving a child is a circular business.The more you give, the more you get.The more you want to give, Penalapy Leach once said.What she said proves to be true of my blended family.I was born in 1931.As the youngest of six children, I learn to share my parents’ love.Raising 6 children during the difficult times of the(29)Great Depression took its toll on my parents’ relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old.Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce.Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married.She had two sons.One of them is still at home.Under her influence we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families.(30)She always treated us as if we were her own children.It was because of our other mother, daddy’s second wife, that he became closer to his own children.They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away.At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, daddy’s first wife, attending his funeral.I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother, when I asked her if she would object to mother attending daddy’s funeral.Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, “Of course not, honey, she is the mother of my children.”
29.According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents’ divorce? B)30.What brought the father closer to his children? D)31.What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk? B)
Passage Three In February last year, my wife lost her job.(32)Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of a heart attack.His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it.Things looked pretty gloomy.My wife and I read the want-ads each day.(33)Then one morning, as I was hanging out “Going out of Business” sign at the greenhouse, the door opened and in walked a customer.She was an office manager whose company has just moved into the new office park on the edge of town.She was looking for part of plants to place in the reception areas and offices.“I don’t know anything about plants,” she said.“I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be dead.” Why was I helping her select her purchases? My mind was racing.(34)Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way.That afternoon, I drove out to the office park.By six o'clock that evening I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them.Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family.Business is now increasing rapidly.(35)And one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.32.What do we learn about the greenhouse? B)33.What was the speaker doing when the customer walked in one morning? C)34.What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager? C)35.What was the speaker’s hope for the future? A)

Part IV Reading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)Section A

Passage Two 62.A)[精解] 段首处设题。根据第二段,第一句话,我们得知有人会在未经允许的情况下窃取我们的个人信息,如第一段所说的电子邮件、网址、信用卡购物及电话等,我们的个人信息赤裸裸地暴露给陌生人,毫无遮掩。A)中的 is easily accessed without their knowledge 同义与原文中的 watch you without your permission。63.C)[精解]根据题干中关键词psychologist、friend定位到第三段第一、二句话。心理学家认为与他人保持一定界限是有益的,虽然会向朋友、家人、爱人倾诉,但是有一些事情是有底线和界限的。C)中的distance同义与原文中的boundary,跟本段第二句话 but few boundaries remain 意义一致。64.B)[精解]第三段第三句话告诉我们:我们在使用高科技时所留下的点滴信息都会为陌生人了解我们提供线索。例如谷歌搜索引擎就会泄漏我们的想法。因此进一步得出结论:我们正生活在一个连保守秘密都很困难的世界里。B)中的trace 同义于原文中的digital bread crumbs所暗示的意思。65.D)[精解]根据倒数第二段第一句得知,people say one thing and do another,即言行不一。随后举例说明,美国人为了一点利益而提供个人信息。D)符合题意。66.D)[精解]段末处设题。作者把隐私同健康作比较,当拥有时,不曾注意到它,一旦失去才知其珍贵。D)中cherish同 wish you’d have done more 意义一致。

78.A)[精解] 介词辨析题。with意为“具备,具有”,介词短语作定语。
79.C)[精解] 动词辨义题。根据上文,学校的教育目标是多元的,因此学校鼓励学生去广泛结交兴趣多样的人才。encourage 意为“鼓励,鼓舞”,其固定用法为encourage sb.to do sth.。

【翻译原文】
信息技术(Information Technology),正在飞速的发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。

【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。

Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D].For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.A Grassroots Remedy
Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world.To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.And when joggers(慢跑者)jog, they don’t run the streets.Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river.It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived(丧失).I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London.These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere.A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(多动症).Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%;those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground.A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment.In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy(等级)based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead.But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying(恃强凌弱)is found in schools where there is a tarmac(柏油碎石)playground;the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore.This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage.So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs.Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children.However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years.And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world.The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals(哺乳动物).For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature.Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life.Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world.It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness.Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised.Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural world
Walk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof.Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space.In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine.Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself;the second best way is in company.Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries.Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs.That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills.Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees.Go somewhere special and bring specialness home.It lasts forever, after all.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

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 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.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.What determines the kind of person you are?

It is easy to accept that genes control physical characteristics such as sex, race and eye color.But can genes also determine whether people will get divorced, how 52 they are, or what career they are likely to choose? A concern of psychological scientists is the 53 to which all of these characteristics are influenced by nature and nurture(养育), by genetic makeup and the environment.Increasingly, science 54 that genes lay the groundwork for many human traits.From this perspective, people are born 55 like undeveloped photographs: The image is already captured, but the way it 56 appears can vary based on the development process.However, the basic picture is there from the beginning.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Directions: 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 One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.It is pretty much a one-way street.While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction.Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job.For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia(学术界)outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge.Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions.Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career.Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical(制药的)company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher.He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition(转换)to academia more attractive, according to Lee.Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts.They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development.“Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career.So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”

57.By “a one-way street”(Line 1, Para.1), the author means ________.[A] university researchers know little about the commercial world
[B] there is little exchange between industry and academia
[C] few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university
[D] few university professors are willing to do industrial research
58.The word “deterrent”(Line 2, Para.1)most probably refers to something that ________.[A] keeps someone from taking action [C] attracts people’s attention
[B] helps to move the traffic [D] brings someone a financial burden
59.What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?
[A] Flexible work hours.[C] Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.[B] Her research interests.[D] Prospects of academic accomplishments.60.Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.[A] do financially more rewarding work
[B] raise his status in the academic world
[C] enrich his experience in medical research
[D] exploit better intellectual opportunities
61.What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?
[A] Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.[B] Develop its students’ potential in research.[C] Help it to obtain financial support from industry.[D] Gear its research towards practical applications.Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿)boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers(鳏夫)were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s.The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate.Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke.There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.Even so, the odds favour marriage.In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological(生理的)mechanisms.For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”

Help Children to Be Independent
Thanks to the “family plan”policy,today in China many families have one child.Loving and caring for children is an old Chinese tradition that has remained for thousands of years.But the children are spoilt so much that they have less independence.They rely on their parents in everything.That is bad for a child's growing.Therefore,parents should develop the children's independence instead of doing everything for them.There are some ways to help children to be independent.First of all,you should believe your children can do the things well.Second,give them more chances to practise,when they don't know how to do it,just tell them the way.Third,don't be afraid to see them fail.In the beginning,they may do something bad.But don't worry,just let them try again.They can do the work as well as you if given more time.To be independent is good for the children.A child who is independent will succeed easily in the future.版本二:

How Should Parents Help Children to be Independent
Nowadays, there is a growing concern over such a phenomenon, that is, some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work, marriage.Some parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy children’s independence thoroughly.For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent.The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood.Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator.And only with parents’ trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.Part Ⅱ

解析:Woman说的第一句话是My hands still hurts from the fall on the ice yesterday.从中可知这位女士昨天在冰上滑倒受伤了,但是男士认为伤势并不严重,只建议她休养几天就可以了,不必去看医生。C是较强的干扰项,应该是女士现在需要休息而不是过去已经休息了几天,故选D。对话精析:
第一个短对话:
谈论天气the heat is unbearable,强调有了华盛顿的museums and restaurants,天气再热也无所谓I’ll be happy here no matter what the temperature.学会看看生活中的积极因素,有了博物馆和餐馆,天气再热都热爱华盛顿,这是何等的乐天精神啊!
第二个短对话:
谈论新工作,I’m learning a lot of new things, but I wish the director would give me some feedback.我学了很多新东西呢,但是我希望上司能给我点反馈!!feedback是反馈也是答案的题眼。这位女士想知道什么呢,想知道上司对她的看法嘛!
第三个短对话:
关于锻炼身体的,还是关于制定锻炼身体的计划的!Can you help me work out a physical training program, John?你能帮我制定个锻炼的项目吗?Sure, but whatever you do be careful not to overdo it.当然啦,不过不管你做什么,得小心点别过头啊!接下来的句子是举例子Last time I had two weeks’ worth of weight-lifting in three days and I hurt myself.上次我三天就完成了两个星期的举重的训练,结果我就受伤了。
问题是这个男人要建议这个女人什么?
四六级考试委员会一片苦心啊,这里分明在告诫同学们,平时锻炼身体悠着点儿。
第四个短对话:
这个对话好!弘扬爱护老人的美德的!
儿子说,我妈妈年纪大啦,I have an elderly mother 然后表达他对妈妈乘飞机的担心 I’m worried about her going on a plane.Is there any risk?有没有危险啊?
接下来,医生的回答,再次体现四六级客观而乐观的精神,Not if her heart is all right.If she has a heart condition, I’d recommend against it.她心脏没问题就没事啊,如果她心脏有问题的话,那我就不建议她去(乘飞机啦)
第五个短对话:
交通违规怎么做?!四六级听力教你谦恭有礼做回答。首先,第一句的男士质问,Why didn’t you stop when we first signaled you at the crossroads?我们第一次示意让你在交叉口停车,你干嘛不停呢?(潜台词是,瞧,还不是被我给逮回来训话了么?!在这种情况之下,这位女士态度是诚恳的,Sorry, I was just a bit absent-minded.Anyway, do I have to pay a fine? 对不起啊,我有点心不在焉。但不管怎么说,我需要罚款吗?
人嘛,都是有时候情绪化的嘛,并且我认罚,这句子学会了顺便大家开车的素质都提高了哈!
第六个短对话:
家庭琐事。
第一个人说,I’m no expert我不是专家but that noise in your refrigerator doesn’t sound right.Maybe you should have it fixed.但是你冰箱里面的噪音听起来不大对啊,也许你应该去修理了吧。have it fixed这个结构是考官们发誓要考生学会的have sth done的结构。
第二个人开腔了,You’re right.对话基调钉牢,我同意你,就是冰箱确实坏了。And I suppose I’ve put it off long enough.我恐怕我已经拖得够久了,put off,另一个考官立誓要教会全中国考生的内容,拖延,put off,核心之核心。
问题,这女的可能会怎么做呢?
她学会了核心单词听懂了整个对话以后,一定会去修冰箱!并且,这里强调 是找人修冰箱,have it fixed而不是她自己修!she will fix it herself.第七个短对话:
买房问题。全国热议啊,考试考到的角度那是真叫一个艺术!
我市区的公寓卖得不错!I did extremely well on the sale of my downtown apartment.也就是说卖了一个好价钱啦!Now, I have enough money to buy that piece of land I’ve had my eye on and build a house on it.现在,我可有钱买一块我早就看中的地啦,我能建一所房子啦!
偷偷感叹下,这说明了城乡的房价是多么滴有茶具啊!不过考官还是仁慈的,不考那么隐晦的,来个简单的,听到这句话的人呢说Congratulations!Does that mean you’ll be moving soon?
恭喜你啊,那这是不是说明你很快要搬家了啊?!
问题问我们知道第一个陈述的那个男人什么情况?!简单,字面意思就够你用来解答了,卖公寓了有了钱买地建房子了!
第八个短对话:
还是运动,不过这里面涉及了一点点西方的固定搭配,black and blue又黑又蓝,这实际上说的是咱中文里面的,身上摔得又青又紫。
第一个人是在说她昨天在冰上摔了一跤,手到现在还疼呢,My hand still hurts from the fall on the ice yesterday.I wonder if I broke something.我想知道我是不是摔坏哪儿了啊
(I wonder if这个句型好,走过路过不要错过,I wonder if I could get married with Sister Phoenix我真想知道我能不能娶凤姐啊?!)
下面这位男士的回答是,I’m no doctor, but it’s not black and blue or anything.Maybe you just need to rest it for a few days.我不是医生,但是如果没有什么又青又紫也没其他问题的话,也许你只是需要休息几天罢了。
问题,此女发生了什么问题? 长对话(19~25)
答案及解析:
19.What do we learn about the woman?
答案:D)She was a witness to the crime.解析:文中男士需要女士描述一下抢劫银行的人(describe the man who robbed the bank)。选项中B提到了robbery,但是对话中没有说明女士是受害者(victim);D选项提到了她目击了某个犯罪经过,robbery显然是crime的一种。
20.What did the suspect look like?
答案:A)A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.解析:原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.,对应选项A。
21.What did the man finally asked the woman to do?
答案:A)Identify the suspect from pictures.解析:对话结尾处,男士要求女士look at some photographs,很显然,他的目的是让女士通过照片来辨别嫌疑人。因此选择A。
22.How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy?
答案:A)By reading a newspaper ad.解析: job vacancy指空缺的职位。在对话一开始,女士就说到她的目的:I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.从这句话中可以看出她得知职位信息的来源是the paper last night,对应A选项。
23.Why did the woman find the job appealing?
答案:B)She could work close to her family.解析:本题关键词是appealing,意为引起兴趣的。女士提到她喜欢这份工作的原因是be near to the family.,close是near的同义替换词,因此选择B选项。
24.What had the woman been doing in Geneva?
答案:C)Working as a secretary.解析:女士提到她在日内瓦做了一些secretarial work,也就是选项C中的secretary。虽然她也提到之前在大学学习,但是她取得的学位是a degree in English,而非选项D中的a degree in French.25.What was the woman asked to do in the end?
答案:C)Send in a written application as soon as possible.解析:对话中女士希望得到面试机会,但是男士要求先要递交书面申请(reply a writing to the advertisement),并不是所有人都能得到面试机会,因此选择答案C。
题材考点分析:
长对话第二篇围绕女士求职面试展开,男士问了很多关于女士个人信息的问题,女士做出回答。做题时需要考生把握住对话大意、抓住细节信息以及两人的态度。
对话中的考点主要集中在细节、重点一些词组含义,以及同意词组替换。对话中关键信息包括:been working in Geneva, secretarial work, degree in English, be near to the family, applications in writing等。考题也正是针对这些关键信息出的,在听的时候考察考生对于细节的把握,尤其是叙述相同类型的事情时,更需要记下其中的区别,从而在做题时能够准确的选出选项。如对话中提到女士会French和English,区别是会说French,拿到了degree in English.其中有几题考察同义词组替换。比如23题中用close替换了near,24题中用secretary替换了secretarial work。选项中频频出现同义词组替换,由此可见考生平时应该注意积累同一个意思不同的表达法。
另外,从说话的语气和表达情绪的词,也可以听出说话人的态度。比如女士在问到能否安排面试时,男士的回答 “Well, I’m afraid„” 由此看出男士否定了女士的想法。因此在做题中,很容易地排除了安排面试的选项。
总体来说,这篇听力难度中等,关键是要抓住细节。
答案,手摔了,焦虑,问了一男的,这男的很冷静,告诉她没啥事。
Section B
Passage One
听力文章分析:
本文难度不大,生词和难词不是很多,关键是整体上的及关键句的理解。先是消防队员在营救火灾中时常遇到小孩对消防队员的设备不熟悉,以为是带着面具的怪兽(monster),从而躲起来,无法得到及时营救而丧失的现象入手,引出Eric Velez为了防止此类现象再次发生,在社区里开始对孩子消防知识的教育。再举例进一步说明教育性质的演讲在拯救生命的巨大作用。最后再简略地说下此类演讲的其他作用。
做题要点:
(1)抓关键句。一般篇章类听力,篇幅较长,听的时候一定要学会准确提取有用的信息,如原因目的、结果、数字、开头和结尾部分等。
“because they think they have seen a monster” “To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire.” “But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives.” “Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food,” “In addition to saving lives,”
这几句就包括了所有题目的答案,只要抓住这几句并理解了其意,题目就不难做出。
(2)抓住细节,但无需执着于细节。
本文的题目每题都设置了很多细节干扰项。如果太过执着于细节,如frightened by smoke and noise;Eric Velez learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents 就会使得做题时容易被细节分心,从而无法立即准确地判断和加以选择。
重点词汇:
fire fighters 消防队员 monster怪兽、怪物 heartbreaks 伤心事 catch a glimpse of 瞥见 masked戴面具的 oxygen mask 氧气面罩 informative 教育性的,有益的 答案及解析:
26.D)They mistake the firefighters for monsters.解析:细节题,从开始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因为不熟悉消防人员戴面具的形象,孩子们以为来救援的消防人员是怪兽,所以躲起来。所以选D。其他选项文中都没有涉及到。
27.B)He often teaches children what to do during a fire.解析:本篇文章大篇幅讲的是Eric Velez给社区里的孩子讲解消防知识,让他们熟悉消防人员及消防工具的过程。选项A,put out fire虽然是Eric Velez的工作,但是本文重点不是在其消防员救活这个工作上,C、D选项很容易就可以排除。所以选B。
28.A)He saved the life of his brother choking on food.解析:细节题,从Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案,文章中关于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎着食物的弟弟。所以选A。做题时一定要把人名及其所做的事准确对应起来。
29.D)Informative speeches can save lives.解析:主旨题,本文举了一个大例子,一下小例子来证明教育性的演说有救人性命的好处。虽然在文章最后也列举了下其他好处,但是主旨还是拯救生命。所以选D。其他几个选项都主要讲细节处,很容易就可以排除。
Passage Two
听力文章分析:
本篇听力讲述的是截然不同的两种生活态度,一种是“make and save a lot of money in order to retire early”,另一种则是“live only for today”,作者在陈述两种不同态度之后,针对两种态度给出了自己的看法“it's better to pick the spend-all approach”。本篇听力不是太难,没有较难的词汇,虽然有几个需要注意的句式,如:“At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving„ ”等,但是通过上下文也是不难理解的,而且结构也比较清楚,基本上可以分为三部分:两种不同的态度和作者的观点,所考察的三道题也上针对了这三个主要的点。由此可见,听听力的时候依然首先要从全文来把握,把握文章的要点,在把握要点的基础上,有重点的去听一些细节,如与要点相关的原因和后果,以及作者本人对这些事情的看法,遇到与此相关的信号词或者关键词时就一定要注意重点记忆。
答案及解析:
30.C)To make money for early retirement.解析:本题考察原因,问为什么人们喜欢比较苛求但收入较高的工作,其实听力一开始就用in order to 给出了原因,即:retire early,所以选C项。
31.A)They may have to continue to work in old age.解析:本题考察后果,问只为当下而活的人面临着什么危险,从“The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.”中可以看出A是正确选项,及在年老时有可能不得不继续工作。
32.B)Enjoying yourself while you can.解析:本课考察文章作者的态度,从 “Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.”中可以看出,作者认为想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜欢的人在一起可能是一种错误,所以选B,即趁着自己还可以的时候要懂得享受生活。
Passage Three
听力文章分析:
此篇短文听力难度适中。叙述者,即文中的speaker,通过记叙自己的境遇表达个人观点。三个自然段分别对应文章后的三道题,结构清晰明了,题目答案导向明确。
第一段通过开篇点题引出本文话题,“以偏概全”着实有失公平;
第二段记叙一个发生在Graben Gore 饭店的故事,关键句:A new sign in the window told the story.“No more than two students at a time”;
第三段同样是记叙一个发生在药店的故事,故事情节较为简单。
此三题听时关键在于抓关键句子,个别人名等不需做过多关注。
答案及解析:
33.C)Innocent people being suspected groundlessly。
文章第一段中,由”How fair will that be”的前一句和后一句均可推出此答案。前一句即“一个邻居犯了法,所有的邻居们都成了怀疑对象”。后一句即“因为有些学生小偷小摸,所有的学生就都被当成小偷来看待„„”,二者表明一个意思,即“无辜者被毫无理由的怀疑属实不公平”。
34.D)Allowing only two students to enter at a time。
第一个小故事中的一个关键句后面紧跟答案。该关键句为,”A new sign in the window told the story.”
而这个sign的内容就是紧随其后的“No more than two students at a time”.35.B)He was closely watched.此题需要自己稍作总结,最后一个小故事说到文中的“我”去药店,却一直被盯着;此事让“我”很是不满。Section C

47.raise在这里的意思是“养育”,the environment in which you were raised 意思是“你成长的环境”。
48.“psychological activity”意思是“心理活动”,全句意思是“研究基因和外部环境如何相互作用影响人心理活动的学科被称为行为遗传学”。
49.“make contributions to”为固定搭配,意为“为„„做贡献”。

52.此处需填一个形容词,而且用来形容人,根据题意,smart符合题意,表示“机灵,可爱”。
53.此处填extent,主要是因为后面有to,“to the extent „”译为“„„的程度”。
54.indicate 意思是“表明,显示”。全句意为“越来越多的科学(现象)表明基因对人类很多特征有基础作用”。

Section B
Passage One
57.C)few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university
推理题。“one-way street” 字面意思是“单行道”,含有只能从一个方向前进却很难往相反方向前进的意思,用了比喻用法。文章第二句就解释说明了这个“one-way street”在文中的含义。大学里的学者去商界创业的现象不算稀奇,但是反过来就不怎么常见。所以选择C选项。
58.A)keeps someone from taking action
推理题。“deterrent”有妨碍物的意思。在文中需要通过上下文来理解。单词前的意思是“薪水永远是最大的„因为很多人觉得到大学里工作就会减少工资,从而无法养家糊口。”从后面半句,我们可以推断出deterrent的意思,所以选A选项。
59.B)Her research interests.细节题。答案在Para3Line3可以找到。“Her main reason for„ to take advantage of the great freedom to choose research questions.”表明Helen Lee换行主要考虑到的是自己可以比较自由地选择研究领域,即个人的研究兴趣。所以选择B选项。
60.D)exploit better intellectual opportunities
细节题。本题比较简单,在Para3最后一句“felt it worthwhile for the great intellectual opportunities”就可以找到答案。
61.A)Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in job market.推理题。本着一题对应一段的一般原则,我们应该在最后一段里找答案。“the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry in„“that will help students get a job when they graduate”段落主要是在讲industrial scientists到大学教学后的主要贡献。所以选择A项。
Passage Two
62.D)marriage contributes to a great deal of longevity
解析:第一段提到“but the biggest longevity boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.”紧接着就说到“The effect was first noted in 1958 by William Farr,„”。句中的boost和选项D中的contribute有相近的意思,故选择D。
63.B)marriage can help make up for ill heath
解析:Linda Waite举例子说到一个有心脏病的已婚男人可以比未婚但是健康的男人多活4年。因此,婚姻可以弥补身体不健康带来的不利因素,故选B。

解析:
67.D came out 表示出版,公布,这里表示报告的公布。
68.C less 根据上下文可知这里说的是都市人口的增长,强调之前的少和现在的多,所以用少于更合适。less than:少于,不到。
69.D by 在这里表示截止到某时间为止。
70.A almost 几乎,将近,对前面的解释,说明人口有多少。
71.B developed 根据上下文意思,以及后文相对的developing world可知应该是发达国家,即:developed countries。
72.C growth 仔细阅读的话可以发现下文就有答案,这里讲的是都市人口的增长,所以用growth。
73.B lead lead to表示导致,通向,本段末也有出现过,在这里是说都市化有助于社会和经济的进步。
74.A pressure 从下文的描述可以看出过快的都市化也给城市带来了巨大压力,所以选pressure。
75.B services 服务,城市为人们提供住房和服务。
76.B into 介词选择,move into 移入,迁入;固定搭配。
77.C driven 表示推动,驱动,driven by 由„驱动,由什么原因引起的。
78.C wealth 财富;social division and differences in wealth 社会分化和财富上的差距。
79.C unless 除非,这里说的是除非城市规划更好,否则各部分财富分配不均的局面将可能导致犯罪问题。
80.D expand 指扩张,expand into rural areas 扩张到农村地区。
81.C at at a much faster rate 以更快的速度,固定搭配
82.C common 表示某事件很普遍,平常。从下文的across America可知这种情况很普遍很常见。
83.A major major cities,大城市,与后文中的smaller cities形成对比
84.D trend 趋势,这里是对前面情况的概括,a trend toward de-urbanization 表示一种逆城市化的发展趋势。
85.C but 表示转折,说城市还是有自身优点的,与前面的“逆城市化”形成转折关系。
86.B possibilities 可能性,这里表示城市依然能够提供农村所不能提供的机会和可能性。
整篇解析:
这篇完型填空取材自2009年10月9日的VOA Special English节目,谈论的是城市发展的问题。从抓主旨的角度来说,这样一篇小小200词的文章,纵览了世界城市发展史,又横览了城市化带来的种种问题,里面的核心论点之间逻辑关联紧密,考生如果没有任何背景知识和推理能力,解题会遇到一定的困难。比如说第二个空格,很多考生在more 和less之中犹豫不决,在没有具体背景信息的情况之下,就需要依据上下文的文脉进行推理。既然强调的是城市化的迅速发展,从5%到几乎70%,这个5%前面究竟填入超过还是不到。从作者的叙述语气一致可以推知,他必定在感叹这个变化的巨大,因此前文应该是不到5%。对于into/at这样一些介词小词的考查历来都是完型填空的重点,move into cities/ at a faster rate,这都是比较容易选择的基础搭配。版本二:
