2017年12月英语六级真题答案及解析(卷三)

2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题答案与详解（第3套）

Part I Writing

审题思路：

“帮助他人”是我们日常生活中非常熟悉的话题。本文是一篇语句点评类作文，要求我们针对所给引言“帮助他人，你在困难的时候就能获得帮助”给出自己的观点。首先，考试需要从引言出发，解释内涵，进而将重点放在阐述帮助他人，你在困难的时候就能获得帮助的重要性上，在阐述论点时，既可以分条阐述帮助他人的重要性，也可以采用例证法，使论点鲜活易懂。

高分范文：

Be Generous with Your Help

When it comes to the topic of help, we are frequently told that, “Help others, and you will be helped when you are in need.” Simple as the saying is, it implies the importance of helping others in need. What I learn from the remark, in short words, is that helping others is helping yourself.

Examples can easily be found to make this point clearer. The story of the ant and the dove is a case in point. An ant slipped into the river when drinking along the river. A dove heard his cries for help and threw him a leaf, which helped the ant float back to the bank. After a few days, a hunter was raising his gun to the dove as the was building her nest. Seeing this, the ant ran quickly to bite the hunter’s leg. The dove heard the hunter’s scream and flew away.

All in all, this example indicates that when we offer our help to others, we are leaving a way open for the future. Helping others is a virtue, and we should take some measures to carry forward this virtue and do others a favor. Only in this way can we build a loving and harmonious society.

全文翻译：

不要吝啬你的帮助

提到“帮助”这一话题，我们经常被告知，“帮助他人，你在困难的时候就能获得帮助。”这句话虽然简单，但暗示了在他人有困难时帮助他人的重要性。简单来说，从这句话中我学到了帮助他人就是帮助自己。

有很多例子可以证明这是一个观点。蚂蚁和鸽子的故事就是一个恰当的例子。一只蚂蚁在河边喝水时滑入河里，鸽子听到了他的求救声，给他扔了一片树叶，帮助蚂蚁漂回岸边。几天之后，鸽子在筑巢时，一位猎人将枪口对准了它。蚂蚁看到后，飞快地跑过去咬了猎人的腿。听鸽子听到了猎人的叫声，然后飞走了。

总之，这个例子暗示，当我们向他人伸出援手时，就是在给自己留后路。帮助他人是一种美德，我们应该将这种美德发扬光大，乐于助人。只有这样，我们才能建立一个和谐友爱的社会。

Part ⅢReading Comprehension

Section A

全文翻译：

很多欧洲国家转向使用电动汽车，德国称计划到2030年时禁止出售以汽油和柴油作为燃料的车。德国还计划到2050年时将本国的碳排放量降低80%-95%，以（26）推动本国向绿色能源的转变。实际上，这项禁令还涉及其国内新汽车的注册，因为2030年之后政府将不再允许注册（27）以汽油为动力的车辆。

这项禁令之所以被讨论和（28）实施，部分原因在于能源部的官员认为如果不能（29）消除大部分的车辆排放，则无法达到2050年的减排目标。但德国仍然（30）希望能够完成目标，例如到2020年时将排放量降低40%，然而该国对电动汽车的（31）接受没有预期中的那么快。

为了增加电动汽车使用量，德国还采取了其他措施，包括在全国建立一百多万个混合动力汽车电池充电站。德国计划到2030年时全国范围内（32）安装超过六百万个充电站.据《国际商业时报》报道，随着大众汽车公司从碳排放丑闻中恢复元气，电动汽车的销量有望增加。

（33）现在德国的道路上有大约155，000辆注册过的混合动力车，跟4，500万辆汽车汽油车和柴油车相比可以说是相形见绌。随着各国都在不断设置减排目标，此时需要采取更有力的措施才能使其环境产生（34）显著影响。

这些禁令旨在使未来的世界变得更加美好，我们所做的努力肯定不是（35）徒劳的，但这些禁令的效果可能只有子孙后代才能看得到。

详解详析：

26.答案：O）sparking

详解：此空格所在句主句的附属结构，且主句主语为The country，故此处应填入现在分词表目的，备选项有disrupting和sparking。该句意为“德国还计划到2050年时将本国的碳排放量降低80%-95%，以______本国向绿色能源的转变。”有常识可知，降低碳排放量和促进使用清洁能源都是保护环境的手段，两者目的相同，并不矛盾，故排除disrupting“扰乱”，sparking“引起，推动”为答案。

27.答案：L）powered

详解：空格位于名词gasoline“汽油”和名词vehicle“汽车”之间，需要填入一个词，使gasoline和vehicle之间产生逻辑联系。根据常识可知，汽车的燃油是汽油，燃料可以提供动力，故答案为powered“以……为动力的”。根据空格处与前后词之间的逻辑联系排除其他选项。

28.答案：H）implemented

详解：空格前为is being discussed and，空格处为与discussed处于并列位置，都在is being done的大结构中，因此应填入动词过去分词，备选项为implemented“实施”和installed“安装”。该句意为“这项禁令之所以被讨论和______，部分原因在于……”，根据常识可知，法令可以“被实施”但不能“被安装”，故答案为H）implemented，同时排除J）installed。

29.答案：D）eliminate

详解：空格位于if引导的条件状语从句中，且处于该从句的谓语位置，谓语处使用do not进行否定，由此判断应填入动词原形，备选项为eliminate“消除，排除”和exhaust“使疲劳”。结合该句句意“这项禁令之所以被讨论实施，部分原因在于能源部的官员认为如果不能______大部分的车辆排放，则无法达到2050年的减排目标。”根据常识可知，没有“使碳排放疲惫”这种说法，因此排除exhaust，故答案为eliminate“消除，排除”。

30.答案：G）hopeful

详解：空格位于系动词is之后，从句引导词that之前，由此可知应填入一个形容词。备选形容词有futile“无用的，徒劳的”，hopeful“有希望的”，noticeable“显著的”和skeptical“怀疑的”。结合该句句意“德国仍然______能够完成目标，例如到2020年时将排放量降低40%，然而……”通过“but”一词，可知该句前半部分表示肯定含义，故排除表示否定含义的futile和skeptical，又因为noticeable填入空格处之后逻辑意义混乱，故亦排除，因此答案为hopeful。

31.答案：A）acceptance

详解：空格位于定冠词the和介词of之间，因此应填入名词，备选项为acceptance“接受，认可”和restoration “恢复，复原”。空格所在句谈到“德国仍然希望能够完成目标，例如到2020年时将排放量降低40%，然而该国对电动汽车的_______没有预期中的那么快。”根据常识可知，此时若填入restoration“对电动车的复原”，则上文某处应先提到“对电动车的禁止”，可实际上并未提及，故答案为acceptance“接受，认可”。

32.答案：J）installed

详解：空格位于整句结尾处，位于have sth. done的结构中，由此判断应填入动词过去分词，备选项中只剩installed “安装”一词，且“安装充电站”符合语义搭配，故答案为installed。

33.答案：B）currently

详解：空格所在句的主要成分齐全，该空即使不慎也无伤大雅，由此判断可填入一个副词，备选项为currently “现在”和incidentally“顺便地，附带地”。结合该句句意“______德国的道路上有大约155，000辆注册过的混合动力车，跟4，500万辆汽车汽油车和柴油车相比可以说是相形见绌。”根据常识进行判断，此处若填入incidentally 则句意不通顺，故答案为currently“现在”。

34.答案：K）noticeable

详解：空格位于冠词a之后，名词effect之前，由此判断可填入一个形容词，备选形容词有futile“无用的，徒劳的”，noticeable“显著的”和skeptical“怀疑的”。又因为a skeptical effect“怀孕的影响”不符合语义搭配，故排除，此时备选项只剩futile和noticeable两词。空格所在句的句意为“随着各国都在不断设置减排目标，此时需要采取更有力的措施才能使其环境产生_______影响。”按照常理分析，“更有力的措施”应该产生“变好或积极”的影响，故答案为noticeable“显著的”，同时排除futile“无用的，徒劳的”。

35.答案：F）futile

详解：空格位于系动词are之后，可填入名词或形容词，构成系表结构。若填入名词，需使用名词的复数形式，

但备选项中无符合该要求的词；若填入形容词，只有futile“无用的，徒劳的”符合文意。将futile填入空格后，本句含义为“这些禁令旨在使未来的世界变得更加美好，我们所做的努力肯定不是徒劳的，但这些禁令的效果可能只有子孙后代才能看得到。”整句语义通顺，逻辑清晰，故答案为futile“无用的，徒劳的”。

Section B

全文翻译：

苹果公司的态度突显了一个更具有对抗性的技术行业

A) 苹果公司拒绝破解恐怖分子的智能手机，因此与执法官员展开了一场斗争，这也意味着技术行业与美国政府之间缓慢改变的局面至此进入了高潮。

B)（40）2013年，美国国家安全局前承包商爱德华·J·斯诺登披露了美国政府拉拢某些技术公司，并侵入其他技术公司以获取大规模的私人数据，此后，技术行业巨头开始形成把美国政府视为敌对方的认知。但如果双方在最新的这场斗争中冲突越来越明确的话，那么战斗的结果可能也日渐明朗：从长远来看，技术公司必定会取得胜利。

C) 但目前，战斗的结局看起来可能并不是那样。对手的一方美国政府强大的法律和安全机构，他们所争夺的是最能引起同情的数据：藏在制造群体谋杀的死者手机里的秘密。（38）去年12月，加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺市，两名袭击者杀死了14人。周二，联邦法院下令要求苹果公司协助联邦调查局的调查，解锁其中一名袭击者曾用过的iPhone手机，政府的行动正是源于这个法令。

D) 对手的另一方是世界上市值最高的公司，（45）其首席执行官吉姆·库克表示，他将对法院的命令提出上诉。苹果公司认为自己在为坚持原则而战，大多数智能手机的粉丝都会支持这个原则：解锁一部iPhone，让美国政府检查其内容，这就有可能面临为任何地方任何政府解锁所有手机的风险。

E) 这场法律角逐的可能会耗上好几个月的时间，哪一方在法庭占上风，哪一方又会赢得公众舆论和立法者的青睐都还尚不可知。然而，这一切的背后有一个简单的动因：苹果、谷歌、脸谱网及其他公司在这场争夺战中掌握着大部分的主动权。这些公司拥有我们的数据，（36）他们的业务依赖全球公众的集体信念，这些公司将尽一切可能来保护这些数据。

F) 人们对这种信念哪怕有一丝动摇，对那些必须在全世界开展业务的技术公司来说，都可能是致命一击。如果苹果公司被迫为美国执法机构破解了一部iPhone以协助案件调查的话，那俄国或者伊朗也提出同样要求，苹果公司又该如何拒绝呢？如果苹果公司被迫编写代码让联邦调查局进入圣贝纳迪诺袭击者赛义德·里兹万·法鲁克用过的iPhone5c的话，如果某个黑客获取了这些代码、用来入侵其他设备，那谁来负责呢？

G)（42）苹果公司在这些问题上的立场是在斯诺登事件出现后形成的，在那之后，公司采用了一系列的技术，这些技术在默认情况下将使用者的数据加密，限制他人访问。不仅如此，苹果以及包括谷歌、脸谱网、推特和微软在内的其他公司都以不同的方式，把反对政府的主张作为企业的骄傲。

H) 苹果公司在全球目前正在打造的新品牌就是隐私；该公司把其信誉押在这上面了，更不要说它还投入了可观的技术和财务资源，限制斯诺登披露的大规模监听、监视。所以，目前就许多涉及政府入侵数据的案子而言，（39）那些曾经单打独斗、为隐私而战的倡导者发现现在与世界上最强大的公司一起并肩作战。

I) “可与之相比的就是，20世纪90年代有关加密的争夺战，”库尔特·奥普萨尔说道，他是隐私监督组织电子前沿基金会的法律总顾问。（44）“那时，有几家公司参与其中，但那时可没有一家世界上最大的公司用一篇充满激情的长文站出来表态，就像我们昨天看到的蒂姆·库克所做的那样。这的确提升了苹果公司的形象。”

J) 苹果及其他科技公司还有另一个优势：拥有使设备越来越难以被入侵的技术手段。需要注意的是，苹果公开拒绝政府的要求，本身就是对政府大规模入侵的一种阻碍。政府表示，为了获取一部iPhone的内容，政府需要获得法庭的命令以及苹果帮助编写新代码；（41）对于早期版本的iPhone，那时苹果公司还未偏执保护隐私，联邦调查局或许自己就能进入这些设备。

K) 预计该趋势还将继续收紧。专家表示，无论苹果公司是否会输掉这起官司，其未来采取的举措几乎肯定会进一步限制政府的影响范围。

L）这不是说圣贝纳迪诺袭击案件的结果不重要。就像苹果及几名安全专家所说的那样，下令强迫苹果公司编写软件，使得联邦调查局能够进入相关的iPhone，这会创下令人不安的先例。这项命令本质上是要求苹果公司入侵自己的设备，一旦这样做了，那么在那些并未涉及国家安全威胁的调查中，这个先例就会绕过加密技术的执法行动提供正当理由。

M）（37）一旦获得进入iPhone的方法，政府会在潜在的恐怖袭击爆发前先发制人——这会令苹果公司陷入困境，是遵从命令，还是冒着袭击发生、遭遇公关噩梦的风险。“这是反加密方发起的一场全新的攻击，”奥普萨尔说。“国会和媒体就政府是否应该走后门的问题已经展开了多次辩论，现在他们采取迂回战术——直接下令开设后门。”

N ）但值得注意的是，即便苹果公司最终输掉官司，它已掌握了很多可以最终关闭后门的技术。“如果这些工程师称职的话，我打赌，他们现在正重新思量威胁模型，”研究iPhone 及其安全缺陷的数字专家乔纳森·兹阿尔斯基说道。

O ）兹阿尔斯基表示，对于苹果公司来说，一种相对简单的补救方式就是，未来推出的iPhone 版本做些改变，手机在接受苹果依照联邦调查局的意愿改动的操作系统前，用户要输入密码来确认。这样一来，苹果公司就不能单方面引入消弱防护iPhone 的代码，而需要获得用户的同意。

P ）（43）“没有什么方法能百分之百防止入侵，”兹阿尔斯基说，但他指出法官在这起案件中下令要求苹果提供“合理的安全协助”，破解法鲁克的手机。如果未来推出的iPhone 上，苹果公司更改其安全模式，政府强迫苹果破解相关设备时，其工程师的“合理的协助”也无能为力，该案件创下的先例可能也会失去持久效力。换言之，即便联邦调查局赢了这场官司，从长远来看，他们还是会输。

详解详析：

文中的the global public’s collective belief ；are committed to 对应原文中的do everything they can ，题干是对定位句的同义转述，故答案为E 。

苹果公司协助联邦调查局的调查，解锁其中一名袭击者曾用过的iPhone

手机。题干中的asked Apple to help 对应原文中的requiring Apple to help ；access data 对应原文中的unlock an iPhone ，题干是对定位句的同义转述，故答案为C 。

详解：H段最后一句提到，那些曾经单打独斗、为隐私而战的倡导者发现现在与世界上最强大的公司一起并肩作战。根据上下文可知，题干中的Apple就是指原文中的the most powerful company in the world，故答案为H。

并侵入其他技术公司以窃取大规模的私人数据。题干中的revealed对应原文中的revelations；access对应原文中的

进入这些设备。题干中的access private data对应原文中的break into the device，题干是对定位句的同义转述，故答案为J。

技术，这些技术在默认情况下将使用者的数据加密，限制他人访问。题干中的After the Snowden incident对应原文中的post-Snowden；made clear its position对应原文中的Apple’s stance on thes e issues emerged，故答案为G。

expert指的就是Mr. Zdziarski，题干中的no iPhone can be entirely free from hacking对应原文中的Nothing is 100 percent

到的蒂姆·库克所做的那样。这的确提升了苹果公司的形象。题干中的long web post对应原文中的a lengthy and impassioned post；helped enhance Apple’s image对应原文中的Its profile has really been raised，题干是对定位句的同义转述，故答案为I。

应原文中的chief executive, Timothy D. Cook，题干是对定位句的同义转述，故答案为D。

Section C

Passage One

全文翻译：

（46-1）在坦桑尼亚格雷戈瑞裂谷的一座山脚下，纳特龙湖呈现出火焰燃烧般的亮红色，周围都是不幸落入咸水中的动物遗体。蝙蝠、燕子以及更多的动物遗体以化学方式保存成他们死亡时的姿势，被密封在水里的碳酸钠沉积物中。纳特龙湖的景观奇异而又致命——而它是世界上近75%的火烈鸟的出生地，这一事实令其更加怪异。

（46-2）湖水的腐蚀性非常强，以至于他能灼伤无法适应的动物的皮肤和眼睛。然而，火烈鸟实际上是唯一生活在这整片死亡之地中的物种。每三四年一次，当条件适宜的时候，湖面上到处都是粉红色的火烈鸟，此时它们会停止飞行进行繁殖。（47）世界上四分之三的火烈鸟从东非大裂谷的其他盐湖飞过来，在湖水达到特定水位时才出现的盐晶岛上筑巢——如果水位过高，火烈鸟就不能筑巢，如果水位过低，捕食者就会轻快的穿过湖床进行攻击。只有当湖水达到合适的水位时，一条腐蚀性的水沟才能保护幼鸟不被捕食者伤害。

（48）“火烈鸟的腿上已经进化出非常坚韧粗糙的皮肤，这样它们就可以耐受盐水，”莱斯特大学的教授大卫·哈珀说道。“人类做不到这一点，如果双腿暴露，不管时间长短，都会死。”今年到目前为止，水位已经太高了，火烈鸟无法筑巢。

（49）也有些鱼，能偶尔成功的在,纳特龙湖待上一段时间，因为咸度较低的泻湖是在流入纳特龙湖的温泉外缘形成的。三种罗非鱼会有部分时间在那里成长。“鱼在溪流中有一个避难所，当水位较低并且泻湖各自分开时，它们就可以游进泻湖，”哈珀说道。“当水位较高时，所有的泻湖就会连接起来，鱼就必须退回它们的溪流避难所，否则就会死掉。”除此之外，没有鱼能够在天然有毒的湖泊中生存。

（50）这个独特的生态系统可能很快就会面临压力。坦桑尼亚政府再次开采该湖的纯碱，用于制造化学品、玻璃和洗涤剂。尽管规划的工厂将位于40多英里之外，通过管道抽取纯碱，但环保主义者担心它仍会破坏天然的水循环和繁殖地。不过，就目前而言，生物占了上风——即使是在这样一个会杀死几乎所有触及之物的湖泊里。

详解详析：

46. 答案：A

定位：由题干中的Lake Natron定位到文章首段第以句：At the base of a mountain in Tanzania’s Gregory Rift,Lake Natron burns bright red, surrounded by the remains of animals that were unfortunate enough to fall into the salty water.和第二段前两句：The water is so corrosive that it can burn the skin and eyes of unadapted animals. Flamingos, however, are the only species that actually makes life in the midst of all that death.

详解：判断推理题。首段第一句指出，在坦桑尼亚格雷戈瑞裂谷的一座山脚下，纳特龙湖呈现出火焰燃烧般的亮红色，周围都是不幸落入咸水中的动物遗体。由此可知，许多动物在纳特龙湖无法生存。第二段前两句提到，湖水的腐蚀性非常强，以至于它能灼伤无法适应的动物的皮肤和眼睛，而火烈鸟实际上是唯一生活在这整片死亡之地

中的物种，这进一步表明纳特龙湖不适合火烈鸟以外的动物栖息，故答案为A。

47. 答案：C

定位：由题干中的at a specific level 和their babies定位到文章第二段最后两句：Three –quarters of the world’s flamingos fly over from other salt lakes in the Rift Valley and nest on salt- crystal islands that appear when the water is at specific level- too high and the birds can’t build their nests, too low and predators can more briskly across the lake bed and attack. When the water hits the right level. The baby birds are kept safe form predators by a corrosive ditch.

详解：实施细节题。定位句指出，世界上四分之三的火烈鸟从东非大裂谷的其他盐湖飞过来，在湖水达到特定水位时才出现的盐晶岛上筑巢——如果水位过高，火烈鸟就不能筑巢，如果水位过低，捕食者就会轻快地穿过胡床进行攻击。只有当湖水达到合适的水位时，一条腐蚀性的水沟才能保护幼鸟不被捕食者伤害。由此可知，火烈鸟只有在湖水达到特定水位时才筑巢，这样它们的幼鸟可以避开捕食者，故答案为C。

48. 答案：B

定位：由题干中的the Rift Valley 和unique in that定位到文章第三段第一句：Flamingos have evolved very leathery skin on their legs so they can tolerate the salt water,” says David Harper, a professor at the University of Leicester.

详解：推理判断题。第二段提到，火烈鸟是唯一生活在纳特龙湖的物种。紧接着定位句提到火烈鸟的腿上已经进化出非常坚韧粗糙的皮肤，这样它们就可以耐受盐水。由此可知，东非大裂谷的火烈鸟独特的原因是它们粗糙的腿部皮肤让它们可以在盐水中生存并繁殖，故答案为B。

49. 答案：A

定位：由题干中的tilapia 和Lake Natron定位到文章第四段前两句：Some fish, too, have had limited success vacationing at the lake as less salty lagoons (泻湖) form on the outer edges from hot springs flowing into Lake Natron. Three species of tilapia (罗非鱼) thrive there part-time.

详解：实施细节题。第四段第一句提到，也有些鱼，能偶尔成功地在纳特龙湖待上一段时间，因为咸度较低的泻湖是在流入纳特龙湖的温泉外缘形成的。紧接着第二句具体指出三种罗非鱼会有部分时间在哪里成长。由此可知，这三种罗非鱼有时能生存在纳特龙胡周围，是因为泻湖的咸度较低，故答案为A。

50. 答案：D

定位：由题干中的Tanzanian government’s planned operation定位到文章最后一段前三句：This unique ecosystem may soon be under pressure. The Tanzanian government has once again started mining the lake for soda ash, used for making chemicals, glass and detergents. Although the planned operation will be located more than 40 miles away, drawing the soda ash in through pipelines, conservationists worry it could still upset the natural water cycle and breeding grounds.

详解：推理判断题。最后一段第一句指出，这个独特的生态系统可能很快就会面临压力。紧接着第二句说明原因：坦桑尼亚政府再次开采该湖的纯碱，用于制造化学品、玻璃和洗涤剂。第三句则指出尽管规划的工厂将位于40多英里之外，通过管道抽取纯碱，但环保主义者担心它仍会破坏天然的水循环和繁殖地。由此可知，坦桑尼亚政府规划的工厂带来的后果可能是对纳特龙湖生态系统的破坏，故答案为D。

Passage Two

全文翻译：

到了疯狂做最后算数的时候——全国各行各业的雇员们都在倒着数日子，试图算出他们攒下的带薪假期还剩多久，（51）不过，他们当中更多的人会干脆不做这些计算，继续在假期奋战，直至迈入2017年：超过半数的美国员工每年都休不完他们的法定假期。

（52）不久之前，人们还对这种敬业嗤之以鼻。正如营销学教授西尔维亚·贝莱扎、尼尔鲁·帕哈里亚和阿娜特·科伊南最近在《哈佛商业评论》上所解释的，闲暇时间曾被视为较高社会地位的标志，只有那些上层人士才能获得。然而，自从20世纪中期以来，情况变得相反了——如今，在办公桌前繁忙的工作时间，而非休假日，才被视为大人物的标志。

（53）在一系列实验中，研究人员表明了我们对忙碌，或者至少对其表象，有多么崇拜。志愿者们阅读了两篇文章，一篇是关于一个休闲度日的人，而另一篇是关于一个过度劳累、日程过满的人；当被要求判断这两个人中哪一个拥有更高的社会地位时，大多数参与者表示式后者。有些人使用产品暗示他们时间紧张，对于这些人而言，这一结论同样成立：例如，在一项实验中，使用了皮波德公司的超市送货服务的顾客被认为地位高于在同等价位的超市进行购物的人；在另一项实验中，戴无线耳机的人被认为其社会地位高于那些带普通耳机的人，即使这两种耳机都只是被用来听音乐。

三位作者在《哈佛商业评论》中写道，在某种程度上，这种模式可能与与过去几十年以来工作本身的变化方式有关。

（54）我们认为从“闲暇代表社会地位”到“忙碌代表社会地位”的转变可能与知识密集型经济的发展有关。在这种经济模式下，拥有雇主或客户所重视的人力资本特征（例如，能力和抱负）的个人，预计在就业市场上供不应求。因此，通过告诉别人我们很忙，一直在工作，则是在含蓄的暗示自己备受追捧，而这就提高了在他人眼中的社会地位。

（55）即使你很想牺牲自己的假期来假装忙碌，但至少考虑把周末空出来不要安排工作。这是为了你自己好。详解详析：

51. 答案：B

定位：由题干中的most employees 和the end of the year定位到文章首段第二句：More of them, though, will skip those calculations altogether and just power through the holidays into 2017: More than half of American workers don’t use up all of their allotted vacation days each year.

详解：推理判断题。定位句指出，他们当中更多的人会干脆不做这些计算，继续在假期奋战，直至迈入2017年：超过半数的美国员工每年都休不完他们的法定假期。由此可知，大多数员工还是会继续工作，故答案为B。

52. 答案：C

定位：由题干中的dedication to work和in the past定位到文章第二段第一句：Not so long ago, people would have turned up their noses at that kind of dedication to the job.

详解：实施细节题。定位句指出，不久之前，人们还对这种敬业嗤之以鼻。C项中的look upon it with contempt 是定位句中turned up their noses at的同义转述，故答案为C。

53. 答案：A

定位：由题干中的the researchers 和 a series of experiments定位到文章第三段第一句：In a series of several experiments, the researchers illustrated just how much we’ve come to admire busyness, or at least the appearance of it.

详解：推理判断题。定位句指出，在一系列实验中，研究人员表明了我们对忙碌，或者至少对其表象，有多么崇拜。紧接着第二句利用实验结果进一步证明了该结论，实验对象认为忙碌的人比悠闲的人社会地位高，也就是说一个人越忙，他的社会地位就越高，人们就越崇拜他，故答案为A。

54. 答案：D

定位：由题干中的change 和attitude towards being busy定位到文章第五段第一句：We think that the shift from leisure-as-status to busyness-as-status may be linked to the development of knowledge-intensive economics.

详解：实施细节题。定位句指出，我们认为从“闲暇代表社会地位”到“忙碌代表社会地位”的转变可能与知识密集型经济的发展有关。the shift from leisure-as-status to busyness-as-status表明了人们对忙碌的态度转变，由过去认为闲暇代表社会地位高到如今认为忙碌代表社会地位高，而转变的原因在于知识在社会中所起到的作用，故答案为D。

55. 答案：C

定位：由题干中的advise 和the end of the passage定位到文章最后一段第一句：Even if you feel tempted to sacrifice your own vacation days for fake busyness, though, at least consider leaving your weekends unscheduled.

详解：推理判断题。定位句指出，即使你很想牺牲自己的假期来假装忙碌，但至少考虑一下把周末空出来不要安排工作，也就是作者建议人们还是要抽空休息一下，故答案为C。

2015大学英语六级真题答案完整版 As is known to all, the success of a person needs the right guidance and interest is undoubtedly the best teacher. Even Albert Einstein, the world-renowned physicist, said, I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. So it is high time that people explore and cultivate their own interest. Passionate curiosity can be developed in one s childhood or in one s sixties, but once it is ignited, it can change people s way of study, work and living. On the one hand, interest makes one s pursuit of knowledge successful and enjoyable. For instance, the pianist Langlang, who plays piano with great love, is awarded a lot of prizes at home and abroad. On the other hand, curiosity helps to resolve difficulties constantly. A worker with curiosity is more likely to dig into the essence of the problem and thus accomplish more creative tasks. I would like to end up with the famous educator Herbert Spencer s words which I can t agree more, If the interest and enthusiasm among us are cultivated smoothly in the first place, most people will become talents or geniuses. 阅读答案 选词填空答案 36.

2018年12月英语六级真题及答案三套完整版 2018年12月英语六级考试真题试卷附答案(完整版第1套) Part I Writing(30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an e ssay on how to balance workand leisure. You should write at least 1 50 words but no more than 200 words. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ How to Balance Work and Leisure Just as the old saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", which illustrates the importance and necessity of keeping a balance between work and leisure. However, in today's fast-paced work culture, it's difficult for most people to successfully maintain a good balance between the two. As for me, some tips can contribute to achieving the balance. First of all, you should develop efficient working habits, because only in this way can you squeeze out some leisure time. It requires you to devote your full attention to the task at hand and complete daily work efficiently. Second, in order to relieve the fatigue and stress, it's vital to schedule one thing that you are interested in each day and set aside some time for relaxation. Last but not least, for those workaholics, please keep in mind that if you work hard, you shouldn't feel guilty when you spend time on personal leisure, for entertainment is also a part of life. To conclude, work and leisure complement each other, so when you get tired and bored with your daily grind, try to take some time off work to relax yourself. Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) Section A Directions:In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions.

2010年6月大学英语六级真题 2010年6月大学英语六级考试CET6A卷真题与B卷完全一致，仅题目顺序不一样而已，A卷考生请参照B卷真题及参考答案！ Part I Writing (30 minutes)注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上。 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Due Attention Should Be Given to the Study of Chinese. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below: 1.近年来在学生中出现了忽视中文学习的现象； 2.出现这种现象的原因和后果； 3.我认为… Due Attention Should Be Given to the Study of Chinese Almost no one in China can have failed to notice the fact that a number of students pay little attention to the study of Cheese nowadays. Taking a look around, one can find examples too many to list: some refuse to go to Chinese classes, some read few Chinese classics and some rarely write in Chinese。 A number of factors can account for such phenomenon, but the following might be the critical ones. For one thing, the craze for learning English affect, to some degree, students’ passion for the study of their native language. For another, the increasing emphasis on some so-called ―practical subjects‖ closely related to the pursuit for jobs also cut into students’ time and energy spent on the study of Chinese。 The problem mentioned above is bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to it. First ,students’ weakness in Chinese would lead to their ignorance of Chinese culture . Secondly, their problems with Chinese would also hinder the study of other subjects。 In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. In the first place, it is essential that the school attach more importance to the teaching of Chinese. In the second place, students should enhance their awareness of the importance of mastering their mother tongue. Only with these measures taken can we expect the all-sided development of students。 Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) 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. Obama's success isn't all good news for black Americans As Erin White watched the election results head towards victory for Barack Obama, she felt a burden lifting from her shoulders. "In that one second, it was a validation for my whole race," she recalls. "I've always been an achiever," says White, who is studying for an MBA at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. "But there had always been these things in the back of my mind questioning whether I really can be who I want. It was like a shadow, following me around saying you can only go so far. Now it's like a barrier has been let down." White's experience is what many psychologists had expected - that Obama would prove to be a powerful role model for African Americans. Some hoped his rise to prominence would have a big impact on white Americans, too, challenging those who still harbour racist sentiments. "The traits that characterise him are very contradictory to the racial stereotypes that black people are aggressive and uneducated," says Ashby Plant of Florida State University. "He's very intelligent and eloquent." Sting in the tail Ashby Plant is one of a number of psychologists who seized on Obama's candidacy to test hypotheses about the power of role models. Their work is already starting to reveal how the "Obama effect" is changing people's views and behaviour. Perhaps surprisingly, it is not all good news: there is a sting in the tail of the Obama effect. But first the good news. Barack Obama really is a positive role model for African Americans, and he was making an impact even before he got to the White House. Indeed, the Obama effect can be surprisingly immediate and powerful,

Passage one Too many vulnerable child-free adults are being ruthlessly(无情的)manipulated into parent-hood by their parents , who think that happiness among older people depends on having a grand-child to spoil. We need an organization to help beat down the persistent campaigns of grandchildless parents. It’s time to establish Planned Grandparenthood, which would have many global and local benefits. Part of its mission would be to promote the risks and realities associated with being a grandparent. The staff would include depressed grandparents who would explain how grandkids break lamps, bite, scream and kick. Others would detail how an hour of baby-sitting often turns into a crying marathon. More grandparents would testify that they had to pay for their grandchild’s expensive college education. Planned grandparenthood’s carefully written literature would detail all the joys of life grand-child-free a calm living room, extra money for luxuries during the golden years, etc. Potential grandparents would be reminded that, without grandchildren around, it’s possible to have a conversation with your kids, who----incidentally-----would have more time for their own parents . Meanwhile, most children are vulnerable to the enormous influence exerted by grandchildless parents aiming to persuade their kids to produce children . They will take a call from a persistent parent, even if they’re loaded with works. In addition, some parents make handsome money offers payable upon the grandchild’s birth. Sometimes these gifts not only cover expenses associated with the infant’s birth, but extras, too, like a vacation. In any case, cash gifts can weaken the resolve of even the noblest person. At Planned Grandparenthood, children targeted by their parents to reproduce could obtain non-biased information about the insanity of having their own kids. The catastrophic psychological and economic costs of childbearing would be emphasized. The symptoms of morning sickness would be listed and horrors of childbirth pictured. A monthly newsletter would contain stories about overwhelmed parents and offer guidance on how childless adults can respond to the different lobbying tactics that would-be grandparents employ. When I think about all the problems of our overpopulated world and look at our boy grabbing at the lamp by the sofa, I wish I could have turned to Planned Grandparenthood when my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me. If I could have, I might not be in this parenthood predicament( 窘境) . But here’s the crazy irony, I don’t want my child-free life back . Dylan’s too much fun. 请根据上面给出的内容，来回答下面的单项选择题（下列每小题备选答案中，只有一个符合题意的正确答案。每小题0分，共5题。）21. What’s the purpose of
