六级写作 (长沙新东方 任伟伟)


第一篇:学历


开头段:两个人的体貌特征+对话内容

议论段:简单阐明下图画所包含的道理(过于重视学历的不好现象)+展开讨论(原因或影响都行)

总结段:我的观点+建议

The portrayal, symbolic and metaphoric, unfolds a scene to us, in which a man who wears a mater gown and looks knowledgeable and capable is applying for a job. However, the most striking feature of the cartoon is that the other man wearing a pair of glasses tells the applicant that he only owns a master’s deGREe while all the others are Ph. D. s.

Simple as the drawing may seems, it conveys a thought-provoking message that people are exaggerating the significance of deGREes excessively, which plays an extremely pessimistic role in our society. On the one hand, those who are talented in study but unable to afford further education may lose a valuable opportunity to change their living condition because of the prejudice about deGREes. On the other hand, potential risks may come along if corporations judge employees only by their deGREes for the reason that it is convenient for one to fake a certificate with the support of high technology.

To sum up, it does exert a negative effect on our society if we still overvalue the importance of deGREes. It is high time that the public should realize that one’s real ability speaks much louder than a piece of paper. Only in this way can our country find its own way to boom.(216 words)


第二篇:科技

开头段:描述师生两人的行为动作+对话内容

议论段:简单阐明图中所包含的道理(过于依赖科技)+展开讨论(原因或影响都行)

总阶段:我的观点+建议

As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, a female teacher with a pair of glasses who stands in front of the blackboard asks a student to figure out an exceedingly easy question. Surprisingly and ironically, without answering the teacher straightly, the student wearing a rather confused look tells the teacher that he needs tech support.

Apparently, the purpose of the caricature is to reveal the fACT the students are increasingly depending on the help of the high technology, which exerts tremendously negative impACTs on the education. For one thing, with the unimaginable convenience of the high-tech, students are less likely to concentrate on dealing with problems themselves. For anther, it makes the traditional way of teaching meaningless since almost every single problem can be solved with a simple search in Google. Moreover, so much efficiency the Internet brings us that we are definitely going to be deprived of the creativeness in the future.

From my perspective, it does have extremely negative influence if we rely on the technology too much in education. It is high time that students raised the awareness our brains are the most effective tools. Only in this way can we live in a more innovative a society. (201 words)


第三篇:学习捷径

这篇很多人离题,在于没看懂图画里的那句话,单引号里的内容是整句话的主语即“如何在学校里不学习就成功”,以及最后两个都说不上生词的生词,fiction section,高中词汇,意思是小说部,在图书馆里指的就是存放小说的地方,也就是整句话可以理解成“不学习就能成功这样的情节只出现在小说里”。再升华一下就变成“只有学习才能成功”。

开头段:描述学生和管理员的动作+对话

议论段:简明阐明图中包含的道理(学习才能成功)+展开讨论(原因或影响都行)

总阶段:我的观点+建议

The portrayal, symbolic and metaphoric, unfolds a scene to us, in which a student with a book in hand asks the library attendant about how to do well in school without studying. What charACTerizes the picture is that the attendant who puts his hand up and points somewhere tells the student that succeeding without working hard in universities only appears in the fiction section.

Simple as the drawing may seems, it is meant to tell us that there is no shortcut for students to get academic improvement. There are numerous reasons to explain for this saying. First and foremost, study enables students to explore the ocean of knowledge freely and happily, which is the very way to promote themselves. What is more, only when we devote ourselves completely to study will we be confident enough to face no matter what challenges that we are going to face after graduation. Last but not least, there is no denying that our motherland China, the biggest developing country in the world, is chasing those developed countries at an unbelievable speed, which means a multitude of talents are in need for the process of modernization and industrialization.

To conclude, study does play a positive role for college students. On no account should we fail to attach importance to working hard in universities. Only in this way can our country become more powerful. (227 words)


六级阅读(长沙新东方 王融亮 周思远)


选词填空 (长沙新东方 周思远)

第一套卷的选词填空来自于文章《Natural-born Scientists》, 此文章登在2009年1月3日的《New Scientist》杂志上,主要是具体分析为何学校很多学生对于科学这门课程不太喜爱,并提出了作者本身对于小孩学习科学这门课程的看法。


答案解析:

36. L inquiring

解析:本空所在的句子主干完整,并且由于出题位置是在名词之前,所以应该填入形容词,acquiring虽然是-ing的形式,有可能是形容词,但是acquire这个动词所派生出的形容词只有acquired(已获得的),故备选答案有inquiring(好问的,爱探索的),以及provoking(刺激的;令人生气的)。再根据本段首句,即可确定答案L。


37. O unfortunately

解析:本空所在的句子主干依然是完整的,并且本空前后都有逗号出现,因此可判断本词应为副词。备选答案有accidentally(偶然地),eventually(最终),以及unfortunately(不幸地)。根据文章前后来看,前文说小孩子都有一颗爱探索的心灵,而后文却说随着他们成长这种品质消失了,所以前后的逻辑应该为转折的逻辑,应选O。


38. C assumptions

解析:本空所在的句子缺少主语,且空之后立刻接了一个定语从句进行修饰,因此可判断本空应该选择名词。可选的名词有assumptions(假设), convenience(方便),exertion(努力),exploration(探索),formulas(公式;配方),passion(激情)。又因为要和前文的make进行搭配,所以应选C。由文章本身的意思也可得出,因为不想显得愚蠢,成人不会去探索事情的真相,而是会做出一些最后假设,这些假设最后还是被认为是错误的。


39. M Passion

解析:本空位于killing这个动词后,kill为及物动词,因此本空应该填入名词。可选的名词有assumptions(假设), convenience(方便),exertion(努力),exploration(探索),formulas(公式;配方),passion(激情)。而assumption之前选过,故排除。再根据文章本身意思,作者认为要避免去抹杀孩子们生来就有的,对于学习的某种东西,根据前文,孩子们有一颗探索的心,所以对于学习应该是有激情的,故填M。


40. B acquiring

解析:本空是一道较为难处理的地方。很多同学看到to会自然想到不定式,因此会在本空填上一个动词。但是我们要注意整个句子的结构,句子主干是“Children..have a approach to...”在to之前有一个approach,这里构成了一个搭配 “approach to”,意思是“做...的方式”,to本身的词性应为介词,之后应该接名词。同时,空中的词应该和后面的knowledge构成一个搭配,所以考虑有可能是动名词,即动词的-ing形式。所剩的备选答案有acquiring(获得)以及provoking(刺激),很快可以确定填acquiring。


41. K impart

解析:本空位于定语从句中,并且在本空之后立刻接上了一个宾语从句,因此可判断本空所填的词性是动词,并且是谓语动词。备选答案有exclude(排除),ignite(点燃),impart(教授)。根据前文,孩子们对于不同科目学习都是同一个方式,但是由于教育的原因,课程被划分成了不同的专业科目,所以不同的科目肯定会有不同的教师去教授课程。故填K。

42. D convenience

解析:本空位于介词之后,所以可以确定词性为名词。同时还要能够和for构成搭配。除去已选的答案,还有 convenience(方便),exertion(努力),exploration(探索),formulas(公式;配方)这几个备选答案。其中能够和for构成搭配的只有convenience。从句子本意来看,划分科学,数学以及英语这些科目是成人为了方便所做的事情,也可和答案相衬。


43. F exclude

解析:本空所在的句子缺少谓语,所以空中应该填动词,且为谓语动词。同时此动词还要能够和之后的from 构成搭配。备选答案有exclude(排除),ignite(点燃),ignite无法和from构成搭配,故填exclude。从文章本意来看,后文说孩子们认为科学这门科目是科学家应该学习的,而他们不需要学习,所以从这个角度来看,他们是把自己排除在了科学的教育之外,和答案的意思相符。


44.  E eventually

解析:由于本空位于动词之后,很多同学可能会认为应该填名词。但是specialise 是不及物动词,所以空中不需要填入名词。从句子的角度看,整个句子的主干是完整的,并且设空在整个句子最后,因此可以判断空中应该填入副词。备选答案有accidentally(偶然地),eventually(最终)。再根据文章意思,后文说道人们不可能什么东西都学到,所以我们需要划分专业,即划分专业并非偶然而是必然,所以应该填E。


45.  H exploration

解析:此空之前有一个and,意味着本空处在一个并列结构当中,若是单词并列,并列的词性应该相同。往前看,and之前的单词是名词,所以本空也应该填入名词。备选答案有exertion(努力),exploration(探索),formulas(公式;配方)。根据文章的意思,在五岁时,我们所要学习的东西是十分广泛的,包括了学习走路和学习数数。对应文章的意思,比较符合的是exploration。


Passage 1 (长沙新东方 王融亮)

此次六级考试仔细阅读部分第一篇来自The Economist 2013年7月的一篇文章。原题为:Where thinking is king,是一篇关于成功学书籍的文章。


   Nothing succeeds in business books like the study of success. The current business-book boom was launched in 1982 by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman with “In Search of Excellence”. The trend has continued with a succession of experts who promise to distil the essence of excellence into three (or five or seven) simple rules.

   “The Three Rules ” is a self-conscious contribution to the genre; it even includes a bibliography of “success studies”. Michael Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed work for a consultancy, Deloitte, that is determined to turn itself into more of a thought-leader and less a corporate repairman. They employ all the tricks of the success books. They insist that their conclusions are “measurable and ACTionable”—guides to behaviour rather than analysis for its own sake. Success authors usually serve up vivid stories about how exceptional business- people istamped their personalities on a company or rescued it from a life-threatening crisis. Messrs Raynor and Ahmed are happier chewing the numbers: they provide detailed appendices on “calculating the elements of advantage” and detailed analysis.

   The authors spent five years studying the behaviour of their 344 “exceptional companies”, only to come up at first with nothing. Every hunch led to a blind alley and every hypothesis to a dead end. It was only when they shifted their attention from how companies behave to how they think that they began to make sense of their voluminous material.

   Management is all about making difficult trade-offs in conditions that are always uncertain and often volatile. But exceptional companies approach these trade-offs with two simple rules in mind, sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. First: better before cheaper. Companies are more likely to succeed in the long run if they compete on quality or performance than on price. Second: revenue before cost. Companies have more to gain in the long run from driving up revenue (for example by charging higher prices or appealing to more customers) than by driving down costs.

   Most success studies suffer from two faults. There is “the halo effect”, whereby good performance leads commentators to attribute all manner of virtues to anything and everything the company does. These virtues then suddenly become vices when the company falters. Messrs Raynor and Ahmed work hard to avoid these mistakes by studying large bodies of data over several decades. But they end up embracing a different error: stating the obvious. Most businesspeople will not be surprised to learn that it is better to find a profitable niche and focus on boosting your revenues than to compete on price and cut your way to success. The difficult question is how to find that profitable niche and protect it. There, “The Three Rules” is less useful.


56题。题干问题为“以下哪种商业书籍最可能大卖?”。根据关键词business books 定位到第一段。Nothing succeeds in business books like the study of success. 商业书籍中最成功的就是对成功的研究。The current business-book boom was launched in 1982 by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman with “In Search of Excellence”. 最近的商业书籍的繁荣始于1982年的一本名为“找寻杰出”的书。The trend has continued with a succession of experts who promise to distil the essence of excellence into three (or five or seven) simple rules.这个趋势伴随着一系列专家而持续,他们承诺提取出杰出的本质并把它简化成3或5或7个简单规则。  由此可以得出,A.研究杰出的书 为正确答案。


57题。题干问题为“以下哪种商业书籍最可能大卖?”。根据关键词success books定位到第二段第三句:……They employ all the tricks of the success books. 他们使用了成功学书籍的所有诡计。They insist that their conclusions are “measurable and ACTionable”—guides to behaviour rather than analysis for its own sake.他们坚持说他们的结论是可测量的和可执行的——引导行为而不是分析。Success authors usually serve up vivid stories about how exceptional business- people stamped their personalities on a company or rescued it from a life-threatening crisis. 成功学作者们经常准备好了一些生动的关于杰出的商人是怎样把自己的个性刻划于自己的公司之中,或怎样把公司从致命危机中拯救的故事。 一个usually暗示成功学作者们经常这样做,可得出C.他们或多或少陷入了同样的思维定势 为正确答案。


58题。题干问题为“作者认为三大规则这本书与其他成功学书籍有何不同?”。根据关键词大写的Three Rules 定位,发现剩下的文章几乎都是在说这本书。于是动用顺序原则优先看第三段:The authors spent five years studying the behaviour of their 344 “exceptional companies”, only to come up at first with nothing. Every hunch led to a blind alley and every hypothesis to a dead end. It was only when they shifted their attention from how companies behave to how they think that they began to make sense of their voluminous material. 大意就是:

他们前五年对344个优秀公司的研究毫无成果。直到他们把注意力从杰出公司做了什么转移到总结杰出公司的思考方式,他们浩瀚的研究素材才有成果。 由此得出他们的重点是在站在杰出公司角度思考动因以分析成功,所以 C.此书详细的分析是基于海量的数据 为正确答案。


59题。题干问题为“文章认为杰出公司的成功是依靠以下哪个选项?”。根据关键词exceptional companies 定位到第四段第二句:…But exceptional companies approach these trade-offs with two simple rules in mind, sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. First: better before cheaper. Companies are more likely to succeed in the long run if they compete on quality or performance than on price. Second: revenue before cost. Companies have more to gain in the long run from driving up revenue (for example by charging higher prices or appealing to more customers) than by driving down costs. 大意就是:杰出公司有两大原则:第一,打质量仗而不是价格仗;第二,开源而不是节流。  可得出A.专注于质量和收入 为正确答案。


60题。题干问题为“作者对三大规则这本书有何评价?”。根据关键词书名comment和顺序原则来到最后一段最后两句:…But they end up embracing a different error: stating the obvious. Most businesspeople will not be surprised to learn that it is better to find a profitable niche and focus on boosting your revenues than to compete on price and cut your way to success. The difficult question is how to find that profitable niche and protect it. There, “The Three Rules” is less useful.大意是:此书翻了另一个错误,就是忽视了商人们的难题是达到盈利位置并保持领先。在这个方面,此书没那么有用。  由此得出作者对此书并不是完全认可,所以D.它失败于确认成功的关键 为正确答案。


Passage 2 (长沙新东方 王融亮)

此次六级考试仔细阅读部分第二篇来自The Guardian 2011年12月的一篇文章。原题为:Universities risk agGREssive marketing。是一篇关于大学招生的自我形象营销的文章。


Until recently, the University of Kent prided itself on its friendly image. Not any more. Over the past few months it has been working hard, with the help of media consultants, to downplay its cosy reputation in favour of something more academic and serious.

Kent is not alone in considering an image revamp. Changes to next year's funding regime are both forcing universities to justify charging students up to £9,000 in fees

Nowadays universities putting much more of a focus on their brands and what their value propositions are. While in the past universities have often focused on student social life and attrACTions of the university town in recruitment campaigns, they are now concentrating on more tangible attrACTions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contACT hours, making clear exACTly what students are going to get for their money.

The problem for universities is that if those benefits fail to materialise, students notice. That worries Rob Behrens, who deals with student complaints. "Universities need to be extremely careful that … they describe the reality of what's going to happen to students," he says. "Because competition is going to get GREater for attrACTing students, there is a danger that universities will go the extra mile."

One university told prospective engineering students they would be able to design a car and race it at Brands Hatch, which never happened, he says. Others have promised use of sophisticated equipment that turned out to be broken or unavailable. "If universities spent as much money on handling complaints and appeals appropriately as they spend on marketing, they would do better at keeping students, and in the National Student Survey returns," he says.

Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university, but are also spending more time researching evidence to back up institutional claims.

Hence the growing importance of the student survey. From next September, all institutions will also be expected to publish on their websites key information sets, allowing easier comparison between institutions , and between promises and reality, and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to.

As a result, it is hardly surprising that universities are beginning to change the market themselves. While the best form of marketing for institutions is to be good at what they do, they also need to be clear about how they are different from others.

And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it. The moment you position yourself, you become exposed , and if you fail in that you are in trouble.


61题。题干问题为“Kent大学【过去】以什么闻名?”。根据关键词ent定位到第一段:Until recently, the University of Kent prided itself on its friendly image. Not any more. Over the past few months it has been working hard, with the help of media consultants, to downplay its cosy reputation in favour of something more academic and serious. 大意是kent过去以舒适和友好闻名,现在却淡化了舒适的形象,突出学术和严肃性。 由此得出 A.舒适的校园生活 为正确答案。


62题。题干问题为“大学打算怎样去吸引学生?”。根据关键词universities和顺序原则来到第三段第二句:…While in the past universities have often focused on student social life and attrACTions of the university town in recruitment campaigns, they are now concentrating on more tangible attrACTions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contACT hours, making clear exACTly what students are going to get for their money.大意就是现在大学们关注点在于更切实的东西,比如就业前景,雇佣机会和导师辅导。 由此得出 A. 提升学习环境 为正确答案。


63题。题干问题为“RB建议大学在营销自己时注做什么?”。根据关键词RB和顺序原则来到第四段:…The problem for universities is that if those benefits fail to materialise, students notice. That worries Rob Behrens, who deals with student complaints. "Universities need to be extremely careful that … they describe the reality of what's going to happen to students," he says. "Because competition is going to get GREater for attrACTing students, there is a danger that universities will go the extra mile."大意就是:RB为大学不能把自己的承诺物质化感到深深的捉急== 他认为大学在描述即将呈现在学生面前的现实时一定要小心慎重。  由此得出 C.克制自己做出无法履行的承诺 为正确答案。


64题。题干问题为“学生择校时最主要的考虑是什么?”。根据关键词chief consideration和顺序原则来到第六段:Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university, but are also spending more time researching evidence to back up institutional claims. 大意就是对2012个学生的追踪研究表明童鞋们不仅更加成熟于思考自己想从大学得到什么,而且也会深思支持大学所宣称内容的证据。   由此得出 B.大学是否恩能履行他们想要的东西的承诺 为正确答案。【熟词僻义:deliver在B选项里是履行的意思啊摔!!!】


65题。题干问题为“大学在招募活动中一定要展现出什么才能获胜?”。根据关键词recruitment campaign 和顺序原则来到最后两段最后三句:… While the best form of marketing for institutions【大学的营销就是招生活动的替换】 is to be good at what they do, they also need to be clear about how they are different from others.   And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it. The moment you position yourself, you become exposed , and if you fail in that you are in trouble. 大意就是:大学招生最好的营销方式就是不仅有自己擅长的领域,而且要明白自己的独特之处。可是要注意一旦做出宣称,就得名副其实。  由此得出 D.他们在某个领域是独特的 为正确答案。


六级翻译(长沙新东方 张巧临)


【翻译题目1】自从1978年启动改革以来,中国已从计划经济转为以市场为基础的经济,经历了经济和社会的快速发展。平均10%的GDP增长已使五亿多人脱贫。联合国的“千年(millennium)发展目标”在中国均已达到或即将达到。目前,中国的第十二个五年规划强调发展服务业和解决环境及社会不平衡的问题。政府已设定目标减少污染,提高能源效率,改善得到教育和医保的机会,并扩大社会保障。中国现在7%的经济年增长目标表明政府是在重视生活质量而不是增长速度。

解析:该文章紧扣时代主题,表述的是中国经济发展的趋势和走向,对于考生的表达积累,提出了高要求,如“五年规划”“计划经济”“市场经济”“服务业”等等,大家在考试的时候,一定注意读清楚句子,看清主干再翻译。在主干的基础上增加定语,状语,调整好语序。该文章中,有许多动词形式来表达发展目标,因此用到的非谓语动词非常之多,非谓语做定语和做状语非常常见,大家在翻译的时候,注意用合适的的非谓语形式进行表达。

译文:China has been shifting from planned economy to market economy since the reform in 1978, undergoing rapid development of economy and society. The growth of GDP by average 10% has already contributed to the 50 billion people’s shaking off poverty. The Millennium Development Goal proposed by U.N has already been or will soon be accomplished. At present, the 12th five-year-plan emphasizes much on service industry, improvement of environment and social imbalance solving. The government has set the goals to reduce environmental pollution, to enhance energy efficiency, to improve education and healthcare opportunities and to widen the reach of social security.  The annual growth by 7% shows clearly that it is the quality of people’s life that the government place emphasis on rather than the growth speed.

【翻译题目2】反应在艺术和文学中的乡村生活理想是中国文明的重要特征。这在很大程度上归功于道家对自然的感情。传统中国画有两个最受青睐的主题,一是家庭生活的各种幸福场景,画中往往有老人在下棋饮茶,男人在耕耘收割,妇女在织布缝衣,小孩在户外玩耍。另一个则是乡村生活的种种乐趣,画有渔夫在湖上打渔,农夫在山上砍柴采药,或是书生坐在松树下吟诗作画。这两个主题可以分别代表儒家和道家的生活理想。

解析:该译文依然沿用中国文化主题,通过画画,展示了传统中国文化中的两大门派和其所主张的处世原则。文章中词汇难度比较大,处理时,有一定难度。中文是以动词见长的语言,而原文中,多动词平行结构,多短剧。在翻译的过程中,大家一定要理解清楚句与句之间的逻辑关系联系,翻译成英文时,将核心和主干结构翻译出来。特别是在处理“下棋饮茶,耕耘收割,织布缝衣,户外玩耍”,避免一句多谓的情况。

译文: The ideal of country life reflected in art and literature work serves as an significant feature of Chinese civilization, which ,to a large extent, is due to the deep sentiment to nature from Taoist. Two subjects enjoy painters’ favor the most. One is the scenery of happiness of daily family life. Such scenery would include an old ’s leisurely drinking tea and playing chess, a husband’s ploughing and gaining, a wife’s needling and sewing and children’s playing outside. Another is the pleasure of country life. In a drawing like this, scenes can be seen like fishermen’s fishing, farmer’s herbs gathering and firewood cutting or an intellecture’s writing a poem or drawing paints under a pine tree. These two subjects respectively represent the ideal life of Confucianists and Taoist.

【翻译题目3】中国将努力确保到2015年就业者接受过平均13.3年的教育。如果这一目标得以实现,今后大部分进入劳动力市场的人都需获得大学文凭。在未来几年,中国将着力增加职业学院的招生人数:除了关注高等教育外,还将寻找新的突破以确保教育制度更加公平。中国正在努力最佳地利用教育资源,这样农村和欠发达地区将获得更多的支持。教育部还决定改善欠发达地区学生的营养,并为外来务工人员的子女提供在城市接受教育的同等机会。

解析:译文同样紧跟党中央的步伐,符合时代主题,时政类的题材,要求对一些特殊名词有所积累,比如“教育部”“欠发达地区”“职业学院”“大学文凭”等等。大家在翻译的时候,尽量把句子翻译得简单干练,一目了然,不需要追求过多文字上的精心雕琢。先将主干找出来,最好将主干翻译成五大基本句型,在此基础上再来进行其他成分的架构。难度上,比上两篇都容易一些。

译文: China will endeavor to make sure that every employee will get an average 13.3 year of education in 2015. If this goal can be achieved, the majority of those to get employed in labor market are required to have bachelor’s deGREe. In the next few years, a GREat emphasis will be put on the increasing enrollment of vocational school. The focus will be on high education. Besides, more attention will be center on the breakthrough of ensuring the justice of education. China is trying to make the best use of its educational resource to give more support to the rural areas and less developed places. Besides, the education ministry decided to improve nutrition of students in less developed places and children of those migrant workers will be offered the equal opportunities to receive education in the city.


六级听力(长沙新东方 孙祥喆)

【长对话】

难度较往年持平,大部分题目的正确答案都是对原文的直接对应;完全符合顺序出题原则,没有出现逆序出题现象,但是个别题目间隔极短,反应不及时就容易顾此失彼。

ConverSATion 1

M: A recent case I heard was of a man accused and found guilty of breaking into a house and stealing some money.

W: Well, was he really guilty, judge?

M: He admitted that he’d done it, and there were several witnesses saying that he had indeed done it. So I can only assume that he was guilty.

W: Why did he do it?

M: Well, the reasons were little muddied, probably at least it seemed in a trial that he did it to get some money to feed his family. You see, he’d been out of work for some time.

W: Well, he’d been out of work and he chose to break into a house to get money for his family and apparently in front of people that, err... could see him do it.

M: His attorney presented testimony that he had indeed applied for jobs and was listed with several employment agencies, including the state employment agency, but they weren’t any jobs.

W: And he had no luck!

M: He had no luck and it’d been some time. He had two children and both of them were needing food and clothing.

W: So he was in desperate circumstances. Did you sentence him?

M: Yes.

W: But what good does it do to put the man into jail when he’s obviously in such need?

M: This particular fellow has been in prison before.

W: For the same thing?

M: No, for a different sort of crime.

W: Huh?

M: But he did know about crime, so I suppose there are folks that just have to go back to prison several times.

ConverSATion 2

M: Ah, how do you do, Ms. Wezmore?

W: How do you do?

M: Do sit down.

W: Thank you.

M: I’m glad you’re interested in our job. Now, let me explain it. We plan to increase our advertising considerably. At present, an advertising agency handles our account, but we haven’t been too pleased with the results lately and we may give our account to another agency.

W: What would my work entail?

M: You’d be responsible to me for all advertising and to Mr. Grunt for public relations. You’d brief the agency whoever it is on the kind of advertising campaign we want. You’d also be responsible for getting our leaflets, brochures and catalogs designed.

W: I presume you advertise in the national press as well as the trade press.

M: Yes, we do.

W: Have you thought about advertising on television?

M: We don’t think it’s a suitable medium for us. And it’s much too expensive.

W: I can just imagine a scene with a typist sitting on an old-fashioned typing chair, her back aching, exhausted, then we show her in one of your chairs. Her back properly supported filling full of energy, typing twice as quickly.

M: Before you get carried away with your little scene, Ms. Wezmore, I reGREt to have to tell you again that we are not planning to go into television.

W: That’s a shame. I’ve been doing a lot of television work lately and it interests me enormously.

M: Then I really don’t think that this is quite the right job for you here, Ms. Wezmore.

12. What does the man think of their present advertising agency?

点评:本题考察观点态度,考点设置在转折词之后,即:” …but we haven’t been too pleased with the results lately” 对应选项B. UnSATisfACTory. 符合顺序出题原则,答案可以利用转折词反推。

13. What would the woman be responsible for to Mr. Grunt?

点评:本题考察事实细节,考点设置在对话中间,即:”You’d be responsible to me for all advertising and to Mr. Grunt for public relations.”符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接,对应选项C. Public relations.

14. What is the woman most interested in doing?

点评:本题难度较大,答案需要在理解的基础上进行归纳总结。女士先是问男士对电视商业广告是否有兴趣,接着具体描述了电视广告所带来的画面感和冲击力,表明女士对电视广告最有兴趣,对应选项D. Making television commercials.

15. What does the man think of the woman applicant?

点评:本题考察男士对女士的最终评价,即” Then I really don’t think that this is quite the right job for you here”, 对应选项D. She is not suitable for the position.


【短文理解】

难度较往年持平,对比结构、转折结构依然是命题热点,大部分题目的正确答案都是对原文的直接对应;完全符合顺序出题原则,没有出现逆序出题现象,但是个别题目间隔极短,反应不及时就容易顾此失彼。

Passage One

Many foreign students are attrACTed not only to the academic programs at a particular U.S. college but also to the larger community, which affords the chance to soak up the surrounding culture. Few foreign universities put much emphasis on the cozy communal life that charACTerizes American campuses from clubs and sports teams to student publications and drama societies. “The campus and the American university have become identical in people’s minds,” says Brown University President Vartan GREgorian. “In America it is assumed that a student’s daily life is as important as his learning experience.”

Foreign students also come in search of choices. America’s menu of options—research universities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, community colleges, religious institutions, military academies—is unrivaled. “In Europe,” says history professor Jonathan Steinberg, who has taught at both Harvard and Cambridge, “there is one system, and that is it.” While students overseas usually must demonstrate expertise in a specific field, whether law or philosophy or chemistry, most American universities insist that students sample natural and social sciences, languages and literature before choosing a field of concentration.

Such opposing philosophies grow out of different traditions and power structures. In Europe and Japan, universities are answerable only to a ministry of education, which sets academic standards and distributes money.

While centralization ensures that all students are equipped with roughly the same resources and perform at roughly the same level, it also discourages experimentation. “When they make mistakes, they make big ones,” says Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American Universities. “They set a system in wrong directions, and it’s like steering a supertanker.”

16. What does the speaker say charACTerizes American campuses?

点评:本题设置在文章开头,即:'Few foreign universities put much emphasis on the cozy communal life that … and drama societies.'由此可知美国校园重视集体生活,比如俱乐部、运动队、学生刊物以及戏剧社团。对应选项A. The cozy communal life. 完全符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。

17. What does Brown University president Vartan GREgorian say about students' daily life?

点评:本题设置在文章中间,即布朗大学校长在说到学生日常生活时说:”In America it is assumed that a student’s daily life is as important as his learning experience. . .”可见在美国学生平日生活和他们的学习经历同等重要。 对应选项(C) It is as important as their learning experience. 符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。

18. In what way is the United States unrivaled according to the speaker?

点评:本题设置在文章中间,即:”America’s menu of options…is unrivaled.” 也就是说,美国各类学校应有尽有,选择空间很大。对应选项(C) It provides numerous options for students. 符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。

19. What does the speaker say about universities in Europe and Japan?

点评:本题设置在文章结尾,即"In Europe and Japan, universities are answerable only to a ministry of education, ..."。其中be answerable to 表示“只对…负责”,对应选项(B) They are responsible merely to their Ministry of Education. 符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。

Passage Three

On Christmas Eve in 1994, humans entered a cave in the mountains of southeastern France for what was probably the first time in 20,000 years. The vivid images of more than 300 animals that Jean-Marie Chauvet and his assistants found on the cave walls were like none that they had seen before. Unusual in the Grotte Chauvet, as the cave is now called in honor of its discoverer, are paintings of many flat sheeting animals. Other known caves from the same geographical area and time period contain only paintings of panties. The paintings in this cave refute the old theory that Cro-Magnoon people painted animals that they hunted and then ate. Now many specialists believe that cave paintings were not part of a ritual to bring good luck to hunters. They point out that while deer made up a major part of their diet, there're no drawings of deer. They believe that the animals painted were those central to the symbolic and spiritual life of the times; animals that represented something deep and spiritual to the people. Scientists are hopeful that Groo Chavie will yield new information about the art and lifestyle of Cro-Magnoon people. They readily admit, however, that little is understood yet as to the reasons why ice age artists created their interesting and detailed paintings. Scientists also wonder why some paintings were done in areas that are so difficult to get to, in caves, for example, that are 2,400 feet underground, and accessible only by crawling through narrow passageways.

23. How did the cave get its name?

点评:本题设置在文章开头,即:”… Grotte Chauvet, as the cave is now called in honor of its discoverer, are … animals” 对应选项B.It was named after its discoverer. 符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。

24. What is the old theory about the paintings in the cave?

点评:本题考察“今昔对比”结构,但考点意外地设置在“昔”,即CM提出的过去的理论。对应选项C. Cro-Magnon people painted animals they hunted and ate. 符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。

25. What do scientists readily admit according to the speaker?

点评:本题考察转折关系,考点设置在however之后,即:“however, that little is understood yet as to the reasons why ice age artists created their interesting and detailed paintings” 对应选项A. They know little about why the paintings were created. 符合顺序出题原则,答案改写直接。


复合式听写

If you are attending a local college, especially one without residence halls, you'll probably live at home and commute to classes. This arrangement has a lot of advantages. It's cheaper. It provides a comfortable and familiar setting, and it means you'll get the kind of home cooking you're used to instead of the monotony (单调) that charACTerizes even the best institutional food.

However, commuting students need to go out of their way to become involved in the life of their college and to take special steps to meet their fellow students. Often, this means a certain amount of initiative on your part in seeking out and talking to people in your classes whom you think you might like.

One problem that commuting students sometimes face is their parents' unwillingness to recognize that they're adults. The transition from high school to college is a big one, and if you live at home you need to develop the same kind of independence you'd have if you were living away. Home rules that might have been appropriate when you were in high school don't apply. If your parents are reluctant to renegotiate, you can speed the process along by letting your behavior show that you have the responsibility that goes with maturity. Parents are more willing to acknowledge their children as adults when they behave like adults. If, however, there's so much friction at home that it interferes with your academic work, you might want to consider sharing an apartment with one or more friends. Sometimes this is a happy solution when family tensions make everyone miserable.
