2012年大学12月英语六级考试多题多卷(一)阅读翻译Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)对离线生活的渴望在增加越来越多的人从错综复杂的生活中解脱出来,正像宾夕法尼亚州沃纳斯维尔的耶稣会会士中心那样的静居所中享受宁静。
大约一年前,我飞抵新加坡,与作家Malcolm Gladwell、时装设计师Marc Ecko以及图形设计师Stefan Sagmeister共同为一群广告宣传人士做“向明天的孩子推销”的演讲。
到达后不久,邀请我们前来的这家机构的首席执行官就把我拉到了一边。
他一开口便说,自己最感兴趣的就是宁静。
几个月之后,我阅读了著名的前卫设计师Philippe Starck的访谈。
是什么东西使他一直以来都能够独领风骚?“我从来不看杂志,也不看电视,”他说,这也许有点夸张。
“我也不参加鸡尾酒会、聚餐会或任何类似的聚会。
”他实际上是想说,他生活在世俗思想之外,因为“绝大部分时间我都是一个人待着,待在一个偏僻的地方。
”大约也是在那段时间里,我注意到,房客们愿意花费每晚高达2 285美元的住宿费,住在位于加利福尼亚大苏尔的波斯特农庄酒店的崖顶房间,其中的一部分原因是为了获得房间里没有电视的特权;房客们真诚地告诉我,未来旅行的真正价值就在于这种“黑洞式的度假胜地”,这种房间的价格之所以高,就是因为房间里不能上网。
难道真的到了这种地步?我们需要联系的方式越多,我们当中的许多人看起来越是渴望切断联系。

201212cet6真题及答案详解2012年12月英语六级真题及答案详解Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Man and Computer by commenting on the saying, “The real danger is not th at the computer will begin to think like man, but that man will begin to think like the computer.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Man and ComputerPart 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 A nswer 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.Thirst grows for living unpluggedMore people are taking breaks from the connected life amid the stillness and quiet of retreats like the Jesuit Center in Wernersville, Pennsylvania.About a year ago, I flew to Singapore to join the writer Malcolm Gladwell, the fashion designer Marc Ecko and the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister in addressing a group of advertising people on “Marketing to the Child of Tomorrow.” Soon after I arrived, the chief executive of the agency that had invited us took me aside. What he was most interested in, he began, was stillness and quiet.A few months later, I read an interview with the well-known cutting-edge designer Philippe Starck.What allowed him to remain so consistently ah ead of the curve? “I never read any magazines or watch TV,” he said, perhaps with a little exaggeration. “Nor do I go to cocktail parties, dinners or anything like that.” He lived outside conventional ideas, he implied, because “I live alone mostly, in the middle of nowhere.”Around the same time, I noticed that those who part with $2,285 a night to stay in a cliff-top room at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California, pay partly for the privilege of not having a TV in their rooms; the future of travel, I’m reliably told, lies in “black-hole resorts,” which charge high prices precisely because you can’t get online in th eir rooms.Has it really come to this?The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug. Internet rescue camps in South Korea and China try to save kids addicted to the screen.Writer friends of mine pay good money to get the Freedom software that enables them to disable the very Internet connections that seemed so emancipating not long ago. Even Intel experimented in 2007 with conferring four uninterrupted hours of quiet time (no phone ore-mail) every Tuesday morning on 300 engineers and managers. Workers were not allowed to use the phone or send e-mail, but simply had the chance to clear their heads and to hear themselves think.The average American spends at least eight and a half hours a day in front of a screen, Nicholas Carr notes in his book The Shallows. The average American teenager sends or receives 75 text messages a day, though one girl managed to handle an average of 10,000 every 24 hours for a month.Since luxury is a function of scarcity, the children of tomorrow will long for nothing more than intervals of freedom from all the blinking machines, streaming videos and scrolling headlines that leave them feeling empty and too full all at once.The urgency of slowing down—to find the time and space to think—is nothing new, of course, and wiser souls have always reminded us that the more attention we pay to the moment, the less time and energy we have to pl ace it in some larger context. “Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries,” the French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote in the 17th century, “and yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.” He also famously remarked that all of man’s problems come from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone.快来下载吧When telegraphs and trains brought in the idea that convenience was more important than content, Henry David Thoreau reminded us that “the man whose horse trots (奔跑), a mile in a minute does not carry the most important messages.”Marshall McLuhan, who came closer than most to seeing what was co ming, warned, “When things come at you very fast, naturally you lose touch with yourself.”We have more and more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we are so busy communicating. And we are rushing to meet so many deadlines that we hardly register that what we need most are lifelines.So what to do? More and more people I know seem to be turning to yoga,or meditation (沉思), or tai chi (太极);these aren’t New Age fads (时尚的事物) so much as ways to connect with what could be called the wisdom of old age. Two friends of mine observe an“Internet sabbath (安息日)” every week, turning off their online connections from Friday night t o Monday morning. Other friends take walks and “forget” their cellphones at home.A series of tests in recent years has shown, Mr. Carr points out, that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory a nd generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More thanthat, empathy (同感,共鸣),as well as deep thought, depends (as neuroscientists like Antonio Damasio have found) on neural processes that are “inherently slow.”I turn to eccentric measures to try to keep my mind sober and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all (which is the only time when I can see what I should be doing the rest of the time).I have yet to use a cellphone and I have never Tweeted or entered Facebook.I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan in part so I could more easily survive for long stretches entirely on foot.None of this is a matter of asceticism (苦行主义);it is just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, or music. It is actually something deeper than mere happiness: it is joy, which the monk (僧侣) David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.”It is vital, of course, to stay in touch with the world. But it is only by having some distance from the world that you can see it whole, and understand what you should be doing with it.For more than 20 years, therefore, I have been going several times a year—often for no longer than three days—to a Benedictine hermitage (修道院),40 minutes down the road, as ithappens, from the Post Ranch Inn. I don’t attend services when I am there, and I have never meditated, there or anywhere; I just take walks and read and lose myself in the stillness, recalling that it is only by stepping briefly away from my wife and bosses and friends that I will have anything useful to bring to them. The last time I was in the hermitage, three months ago, I happened to meet with a youngish-looking man with a 3-year-old boy around his shoulders.“You’re Pico, aren’t you?” the man said, and introduced himself as Larry; we had met, I gathered, 19 years before, when he had been living in the hermitage as an assistant to one of the monks.“What are you doing now?” I asked.We smiled. No words were necessary.“I try to bring my kids here as often as I can,” he went on. The child of tomorrow, I realized, may actually be ahead of us, in terms of sensing not what is new, but what is essential.1. What is special about the Post Ranch Inn?A) Its rooms are well furnished but dimly lit.B) It makes guests feel like falling into a black hole.C) There is no access to television in its rooms.D) It provides all the luxuries its guests can think of.2.

According to Marshall McLuhan, what will happen if things come at us very fast?A) We will not know what to do with our own lives.B) We will be busy receiving and sending messages.C) We will find it difficult to meet our deadlines.D) We will not notice what is going on around us.5. What does the author say about yoga, meditation and tai chi?A) They help people understand ancient wisdom.B) They contribute to physical and mental health.C) They are ways to communicate with nature.D) They keep people from various distractions.6. What is neuroscientist Antonio Damasio’s finding?A) Quiet rural settings contribute a lot to long life.B) One’s brain becomes sharp when it is activated.C) Eccentric measures are needed to keep one’s mind sober.D) When people think deeply, their neural processes are slow.7.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)(25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 54 are based on the following passage.A key process in interpersonal interaction is that of social comparison, in that we evaluate ourselves in terms of how we compare to others. In particular, we engage in two types of comparison. First, we decide whether we are superior or inferior to others on certain dimensions, such as attractiveness, intelligence, popularity, etc. Here, the important aspect is to compare with an appropriate reference group. For example, modest joggers should not compare their performance with Olympic standard marathon (马拉松) runners. Second, we judge the extent to which we are the same as or different from others. At certain stages of life, especially adolescence, the pressure to be seen as similar to peers is immense. Thus, wearing the rightbrand of clothes or shoes may be of the utmost importance. We also need to know whether our thoughts, beliefs and ideas are in line with those of other people. This is part of the process of self-validation whereby we employ self-disclosures to seek support for ourself-concept.People who do not have access to a good listener may not only be denied the opportunity to heighten their self-awareness, but they are also denied valuable feedback as to the validity and acceptability of their inner thoughts and feelings. By discussing these with others, we receive feedback as to whether these are experiences which others have as well, or whether they are less common. Furthermore, by gauging the reactions to our self-disclosures we learn what types are acceptable or unacceptable with particular people and in specific situations. On occasions it is the fear that certain disclosures may be unacceptable to family or friends that motivates an individual to seek professional help. Counsellors will be familiar with client statements such as: “I just couldn’t talk about this to my husband.”, “I really can’t let my mother know my true feelings.” Another aspect of social comparison in the counselling context relates to a technique known as normalising. This is the process whereby helpers provide reassurance to clients that what they are experiencing is not abnormal快来下载吧or atypical (非典型的), but is a normal reaction shared by others when facing such circumstances. Patient disclosure, facilitated by the therapist, seems also to facilitate the process of normalising.47. To evaluate ourselves, the author thinks it important forus to compare ourselves with_______.48. During adolescence, people generally feel an immense pressure to appear _______.49. It is often difficult for people to heighten their self-awareness without _______.50. What can people do if they find what they think or say unacceptable to family or friends?51. Counsellors often assure their clients that what they experience themselves is only_______.Section BDirections: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 thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Amid all the job losses, there’s one category of worker that the economic disruption has been good for: nonhumans.From self-service checkout lines at the supermarket to industrial robots armed with saws and taught to carve up animal bodies in slaughter-houses, these ever-more-intelligent machines are now not just assisting workers but actually kicking them out of their jobs.Automation isn’t just affecting factory workers, either. Some law firms now use artificial intelligence software to scanand read mountains of legal documents, work that previously was performed by highly-paid human lawyers.“Robots continue to have an impact on blue-collar jobs, and white-collar jobs are under attack by microprocessors,” says economics professor Ed ward Leamer. The recession permanently wiped out 2.5 million jobs. U.S. gross domestic product has climbed back to pre-recession levels, meaning we’re producing as much as before, only with 6% fewer workers. To be sure, robotics are not the only job killers out there, with outsourcing (外包) stealing far more jobs than automation.Jeff Burnstein, president of the Robotics Industry Association, argues that robots actually save U.S. jobs. His logic: companies that embrace automation might use fewer workers, but tha t’s still better than firing everyone and moving the work overseas.It’s not that robots are cheaper than humans, though often they are. It’s that they’re better. “In some cases the quality requirements are so exacting that even if you wanted to ha ve a hu man do the job, you couldn’t,” Burnstein says.Same goes for surgeons, who’re using robotic systems to perform an ever-growing list of operations—not because the machines save money but because, thanks to the greater precision of robots, the patients recover in less time and have fewer complications, says Dr. Myriam Curet.Surgeons may survive the robot invasion, but others at the hospital might not be so lucky, as iRobot, maker of the Roomba, a robot vacuum cleaner, has been showing off Ava, which could be used as a messenger in a hospital. And once you’re home, recovering, Ava could let you talk to your doctor, so there’s no need to send someone to your house. That “mobile telepresence” could be useful at the office. If you’re away on atrip, yo u can still attend a meeting. Just connect via videoconferencing software, so your face appears on Ava’s screen. Is any job safe? I was hoping to say “journalist,” but researchers are already developing software that can gather facts and write a news story. Which means that a few years from now, a robot could be writing this column. And who will read it? Well, there might be a lot of us hanging around with lots of free time on our hands.快来下载吧注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

2012级大学英语翻译题库第一篇大家普遍承认人是社会性的动物,生活在同一社会的我们自然指望有朋友。
至于什么是友谊,人们有各自不同的理解。
有些人交朋友是为了彼此有用,一旦失去这个基础,这种友谊也就中止了。
但更多的人渴望“心灵之友(soul•pals)”,即那种拥有高尚情操,能共度磨难的朋友。
这样的友谊使我们远离贪欲、暴力,鼓励我们敢于按照自己的信念说话和做事。
这样的友谊才是我们说的“真挚和完美的友谊”。
第二篇晚饭后,我们大家围坐在壁炉(hearth)旁。
苏珊姨妈还沉浸在失去罗伯特姨父的悲伤之中。
她轻声讲起了他俩从前的岁月。
订婚不久,姨父就去参军了。
考虑到当时的严峻形势,许多军人无法生还,你就可以想象当姨父从欧洲战场平安返回时姨妈甭提有多开心了。
之后,他们结婚成家,抚育了五个孩子。
这么多年来,在共同克服生活的艰辛磨难的过程当中,夫妻间的感情越来越深。
我被姨妈的故事深深迷住了,这完全不同于我理想中的爱情。
在日常生活中,他们并不追求激情浪漫,而是实践着“付出”和“分享”。
令人感慨的是,这样的爱延续了一辈子。
第三篇退休终止了一个人的职业生涯。
人们突然发现再也不能继续自己已经干了几十年的工作。
有些老人很难适应这个变化,陷于忧郁之中,认为自己没用了。
的确,忧郁已经成为威胁老年人健康的一个主要因素。
不过,在中国许多老人仍然通过为成年儿女服务,如照看孙辈,补贴零用钱等感到自己仍然有用。
但问题是老人们是否还应该尝试用其他方式来丰富他们的空闲时间以获得一个更有意义的晚年生活?我建议老人们少操心儿女的生活,给儿女足够的空间让他们负责自己的生活。
毕竟老人们为社会和家庭贡献了这么多年,他们应该受到年轻人多方面的尊重,年轻人对年长的父母要更宽容些。
第四篇武术在我国源远流长,是中华民族传统文化的瑰宝。
我们知道,一个民族的优秀文化遗产,不仅仅属于一个民族,它会逐渐传播到世界而成为人类的共同财富。

If you fail in something, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over the problem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse).遇到挫折:fail in something 暂时:for a day or two(for a day or two有时并不仅仅指一两天,还可以表示暂时哦)纠结:agonizing over the problem 先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。

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.Thirst grows for living unpluggedMore people are taking breaks from the connected life amid the stillness and quiet of retreats like the Jesuit Center in Wernersville, Pennsylvania.About a year ago, I flew to Singapore to join the writer Malcolm Gladwell, the fashion designer Marc Ecko and the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister in addressing a group of advertising people on “Marketing to the Child of Tomorrow.” Soon after I arrived, the chief executive of the agency that had invited us took me aside. What he was most interested in, he began, was stillness and quiet.A few months later, I read an interview with the well-known cutting-edge designer Philippe Starck.What allowed him to remain so consistently ahead of the curve? “I never read any magazines or watch TV,” he said, perhaps with a little exaggeration. “Nor do I go to cocktail parties, dinners or anything like that.” He lived out side conventional ideas, he implied, because “I live alone mostly, in the middle of nowhere.”Around the same time, I noticed that those who part with $2,285 a night to stay in a cliff-top room at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California, pay partly for the privilege of not having a TV in their rooms; the future of travel, I’m reliably told, lies in “black-hole resorts,” which charge high prices precisely because you can’t get online in their rooms.Has it really come to this?The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug. Internet rescue camps in South Korea and China try to save kids addicted to the screen.Writer friends of mine pay good money to get the Freedom software that enables them to disable the very Internet connections that seemed so emancipating not long ago. Even Intel experimented in 2007 with conferring four uninterrupted hours of quiet time (no phone or e-mail) every Tuesday morning on 300 engineers andmanagers. Workers were not allowed to use the phone or send e-mail, but simply had the chance to clear their heads and to hear themselves think.The average American spends at least eight and a half hours a day in front of a screen, Nicholas Carr notes in his book The Shallows. The average American teenager sends or receives 75 text messages a day, though one girl managed to handle an average of 10,000 every 24 hours for a month.Since luxury is a function of scarcity, the children of tomorrow will long for nothing more than intervals of freedom from all the blinking machines, streaming videos and scrolling headlines that leave them feeling empty and too full all at once.The urgency of slowing down—to find the time and space to think—is nothing new, of course, and wiser souls have always reminded us that the more attention we pay to the moment, the less time and energy we have to place it in some larger context. “Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries,” the French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote in the 17th century, “and yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.” He also famously remarked that all of man’s problems come from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone.When telegraphs and trains brought in the idea that convenience was more important than content, Henry David Thorea u reminded us that “the man whose horse trots (奔跑), a mile in a minute does not carry the most important messages.”Marshall McLuhan, who came closer than most to seeing what was coming, warned, “When things come at you very fast, naturally you lose touch with yourself.”We have more and more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we are so busy communicating. And we are rushing to meet so many deadlines that we hardly register that what we need most are lifelines.So what to do? More and more people I know seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation (沉思), or tai chi (太极);these aren’t New Age fads (时尚的事物) so much as ways to connect with what could be called the wisdom of old age. Two friends of mine observe an “Internet sabbath (安息日)” ev ery week, turning off their online connections from Friday night to Monday morning. Other friends take walks and “forget” their cellphones at home.A series of tests in recent years has shown, Mr. Carr points out, that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy (同感,共鸣),as well as deep thought, depends (as neuroscientists like Antonio Damasio have found) on neural processes that are “inherently slow.”I turn to eccentric measures to try to keep my mind sober and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all (which is the only time when I can see what I should be doing the rest of the time).I have yet to use a cellphone and I have never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan in part so I could more easily survive for long stretches entirely on foot.None of this is a matter of asceticism (苦行主义);it is just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, or music. It is actually something deeper than mere happiness: it is joy, which the monk (僧侣) David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.”It is vital, of course, to stay in touch with the world. But it is only by having some distance from the world that you can see it whole, and understand what you should be doing with it.For more than 20 years, therefore, I have been going several times a year—often for no longer than three days—to a Benedictine hermitage (修道院),40 minutes down the road, as it happens, from the Post Ranch Inn. I don’t attend services when I am there, and I have never meditated, there or anywhere; I just take walks and read and lose myself in the stillness, recalling that it is only by stepping briefly away from my wife and bosses and friends that I will have anything useful to bring to them. The last time I was in the hermitage, three months ago, I happened to meet with a youngish-looking man with a 3-year-old boy around his shoulders.“You’re Pico, aren’t you?” the man said, and introduced himself as Larry; we had met, I gathered, 19 years before, when he had been living in the hermitage as an assistant to one of the monks.“What are you doing now?” I asked.We smiled. No words were necessary.“I try to bring my kids here as often as I can,” he went on. The child of tomorrow, I realized, may a ctually be ahead of us, in terms of sensing not what is new, but what is essential.1. What is special about the Post Ranch Inn?A) Its rooms are well furnished but dimly lit.B) It makes guests feel like falling into a black hole.C) There is no access to television in its rooms.D) It provides all the luxuries its guests can think of.2. What does the author say the children of tomorrow will need most?A) Convenience and comfort in everyday life.B) Time away from all electronic gadgets.C) More activities to fill in their leisure time.D) Greater chances for individual development.3. What does the French philosopher Blaise Pascal say about distraction?A) It leads us to lots of mistakes.B) It renders us unable to concentrate.C) It helps release our excess energy.D) It is our greatest misery in life.4. According to Marshall McLuhan, what will happen if things come at us very fast?A) We will not know what to do with our own lives.B) We will be busy receiving and sending messages.C) We will find it difficult to meet our deadlines.D) We will not notice what is going on around us.5. What does the author say about yoga, meditation and tai chi?A) They help people understand ancient wisdom.B) They contribute to physical and mental health.C) They are ways to communicate with nature.D) They keep people from various distractions.6. What is neuroscientist Antonio Damasio’s finding?A) Quiet rural settings contribute a lot to long life.B) One’s brain becomes sharp when it is activated.C) Eccentric measures are needed to keep one’s mind sober.D) When people think deeply, their neural processes are slow.7. The author moved from Manhattan to rural Japan partly because he could _______.A) stay away from the noise of the big city.B) live without modern transportation.C) enjoy the beautiful view of the countryside.D) practice asceticism in a local hermitage8. In order to see the world whole, the author thinks it necessary to __________.9.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 54 are based on the following passage.A key process in interpersonal interaction is that of social comparison, in that we evaluate ourselves in terms of how we compare to others. In particular, we engage in two types of comparison. First, we decide whether we are superior or inferior to others on certain dimensions, such as attractiveness, intelligence, popularity, etc. Here, the important aspect is to compare with an appropriate reference group. For example, modest joggers should not compare their performance with Olympic standard marathon (马拉松) runners. Second, we judge the extent to which we are the same as or different from others. At certain stages of life, especially adolescence, the pressure to be seen as similar to peers is immense. Thus, wearing the right brand of clothes or shoes may be of the utmost importance. We also need to know whether our thoughts, beliefs and ideas are in line with those of other people. This is part of the process of self-validation whereby we employ self-disclosures to seek support for ourself-concept.People who do not have access to a good listener may not only be denied the opportunity to heighten their self-awareness, but they are also denied valuable feedback as to the validity and acceptability of their inner thoughts and feelings. By discussing these with others, we receive feedback as to whether these are experiences which others have as well, or whether they are less common. Furthermore, by gauging the reactions to ourself-disclosures we learn what types are acceptable or unacceptable with particular people and in specific situations. On occasions it is the fear that certain disclosures may be unacceptable to family or friends that motivates an individual to seek professional help. Counsellors will b e familiar with client statements such as: “I just couldn’t talk about this to my husband.”, “I really can’t let my mother know my true feelings.” Another aspect of social comparison in the counselling context relates to a technique known as normalising. This is the process whereby helpers provide reassurance to clients that what they are experiencing is not abnormal or atypical (非典型的), but is a normal reaction shared by others when facing such circumstances. Patient disclosure, facilitated by the therapist, seems also to facilitate the process of normalising.47. To evaluate ourselves, the author thinks it important for us to compare ourselves with _______.48. During adolescence, people generally feel an immense pressure to appear _______.49. It is often difficult for people to heighten their self-awareness without _______.50. What can people do if they find what they think or say unacceptable to family or friends?51. Counsellors often assure their clients that what they experience themselves is only _______.Section BDirections: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 decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Amid all the job losses, there’s one category of worker that the economic disruption has been good for: nonhumans.From self-service checkout lines at the supermarket to industrial robots armed with saws and taught to carve up animal bodies in slaughter-houses, these ever-more-intelligent machines are now not just assisting workers but actually kicking them out of their jobs.Automation isn’t just affecting factory workers, either. Some law firms now use artificial intelligence software to scan and read mountains of legal documents, work that previously was performed by highly-paid human lawyers.“Robots continue to have an impact on blue-collar jobs, and white-collar jobs are under attack by microprocessors,” says economics professor Edward Leamer. The recession permanently wiped out 2.5 million jobs. U.S. gross domestic product has climbed back to pre-recession levels, meaning we’re producing as much as before, only with 6% fewer workers. To be sure, robotics are not the only job killers out there, with outsourcing (外包) stealing far more jobs than automation.Jeff Burnstein, president of the Robotics Industry Association, argues that robots actually save U.S. jobs. His logic: companies that embrace automation might use fewer workers, but that’s still better than firing everyone and moving the work overseas.It’s not that robots are cheaper than humans, though often they are. It’s that they’re better. “In some cases the quality requirements are so exacting that even if you wanted to have a human do the job, you couldn’t,” Burnstein says.Same goes for surgeons, who’re using robotic systems to perform an ever-growing list of operations—not because the machines save money but because, thanks to the greater precision of robots, the patients recover in less time and have fewer complications, says Dr. Myriam Curet.Surgeons may survive the robot invasion, but others at the hospital might not be so lucky, as iRobot, maker of the Roomba, a robot vacuum cleaner, has been showing off Ava, which could be used as a messenger in a hospital. And once you’re home, recovering, Ava could let you talk to your doctor, so there’s no need to send someone to your house. That “mobile telepresence” could be useful at the office. If you’re away on a trip, you can still attend a meeting. Just connect via videoconferencing software, s o your face appears on Ava’s screen.Is any job safe? I was hoping to say “journalist,” but researchers are already developing software that can gather facts and write a news story. Which means that a few years from now, a robot could be writing this column. And who will read it? Well, there might be a lot of us hanging around with lots of free time on our hands.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

历年六级翻译真题答案汇总(2012-2015)2013年12月英语六级考试翻译真题及译文试卷一:丝绸之路【参考译文】The world-famous Silk Road refers to a series of routes that connects the Eastand the West. The Silk Road extends for over 6,000 kilometers and derived its name from the ancient China’s sil k trade. The trade that occurred on the Silk Road played an important role in the development process of the civilization of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It is by way of the Silk Road that China’s four great inventions, namely papermaking, powder, compass and printing technology, were introduced to all over the world. Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain also spread to the whole world. Material and cultural exchanges are two-way, for Europe also satisfied the demands of Chinese market by exporting various commodities and plants to China through the exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road.试卷二:中秋节【参考译文】Since ancient times, Chinese people have celebrated their harvest during themid-Autumn, which is quite similar to the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving Day in North America. The custom of celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival started gaining its popularity in the early Tang Dynasty around China. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, is a festival for Chinese people to worship the moon. During the night of the day when the bright moon is shining in the sky, there will be family reunions and family members will enjoy the bright moon together. In 2006, the Mid-Autumn Festival was listed as a Chinese cultural heritage, and in 2008, it was designated as a public holiday. The moon cake is seen as the indispensable fine food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. People send moon cakes as gifts to their relatives and friends or they eat moon cakes enjoyed at family gatherings. Traditional moon cakes are imprinted with Chinese characters conveying such meanings as “longevity”, “blessing” or “harmony”.试卷三: 中国园林【参考译文】The Chinese garden is a unique landscape in virtue of evolution of more than threethousand years. It includes not only the large gardens built by the royal family for enjoyment, but also the private ones built by scholars, businessmen and former government officials for gettingrid of the hustle and bustle of the outside world. These gardens constituted a kind of miniaturized landscape which aims at displaying the due harmonious relationship between human and nature. Typical Chinese gardens are surrounded by walls. In the gardens there are ponds, rockworks, trees, flowers and plants, and various architectures that are connected by winding paths or corridors. When rambling in the gardens, people can enjoy a series of elaborately designed landscapes which are presented in front of them like a landscape painting scroll.2014年6月英语六级考试翻译真题及译文试卷一:中国科学院Recently, Chinese Academy of Science recently has published a series of annual reports about its latest scientific discoveries and a blueprint for the coming year. The reports consist of three parts: science development, high-technology development and China’s sustainable development strategy. The first one includes the latest discoveries by Chinese scientists, such as the research of new particle and the breakthrough of the H7N9 virus research. The report also highlights the issues that need to be concerned in the next few years. The second one announces some hot areas of applied science research, for instance, three-D printing and artificial organ research. The last one suggests enhancing top level designs to remove structural barriers arising from industrial upgrading and promote energy conservation and emissions reduction.试卷二:治理污染Beijing has planned to invest 760 billion yuan to tackle pollution in the coming three years, starting from reducing the PM 2.5 emissions. This newly released plan is aimed at reducing four major pollution resources, including the exhaust emissions from more than 5 million motor vehicles, the burning of coals in the surrounding areas, the sandstorms from the North and the local construction dust. Another 85 billion yuan will be used to build or upgrade the facilities for treatment of urban garbage and sewage and additional 30 billion yuan will be invested in forestation in the next three years.The municipal government also plans to set up a group of water recycling factories and curb peccancy buildings in order to improve the environment. In addition, Beijing will punish more severely the behaviors that violate the regulations of emission limitation.试卷三:中文热词Chinese hot words usually reflect social changes and culture, and some of them are becoming increasingly popular in foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they have gained new meanings.Tuhao used to mean landlords in the countryside who oppress their tenants and servants, but now it refers to those who spending money without control or those who like to show off their wealth. That is to say, a tuhao owns a lot of money but has no taste. Dama is used to describe middle-aged women, but now it refers specifically to those Chinese ladies who bought gold in bulk when gold price fell not long ago.The words tuhao and dama may be included in the new Oxford English Dictionary. So far, about 120 Chinese words have been added to Oxford English Dictionary, becoming a part of the English language.2014年12月英语六级考试翻译真题及译文试卷一:经济发展Since the reform was launched in 1978, China has transformed from the planned economy into a market-based economy and undergone rapid economic and social development. An average GDP growth rate of 10% a year has lifted more than five hundred million people out of poverty. The UN Millennium Development Goals have been achieved or are about to be reached in China. At present, the 12th five-year plan in China stresses the development of service industry and the solutions to environmental and social imbalance. The government has set goals to reduce pollution and enhance energy efficiency, improve the chances of education and health care and expand social security. The current 7% of annual economic growth target of China demonstrates that the government values the quality of life rather than the rate of growth.试卷二:乡村生活理想The ideal rural life reflected in art and literature is an important characteristic of Chinese civilization. It is largely attributed to the Taoist’s affection to nature. There are two most preferred themes in traditional Chinese paintings. One depicts various happy scenes of family life in which usually the elderly drink tea and play chess, young men farm and harvest in the fields; women weave or sew clothes and kids play outdoors. The other depicts various recreation of rural life. In these paintings, fishermen fish on the lake; farmers cut firewood or collect herbs in the hills, or scholars chant poems or paint under pine trees. These two themes can represent the ideal life of Confucianism and Taoism respectively.试卷三:教育China will try to make sure that employees receive 13.3 years of education on average by 2015. If the goal is achieved, most people who enter the labor market will have to acquire a college diploma in the future.In the next few years, China will attach great importance to increasing the student enrollments of vocational colleges: apart from focusing on higher education, China will also seek new breakthroughs to ensure a fairer education system. China is endeavoring to make the best use of educational resources and therefore rural and underdeveloped areas will receive more supports.The Ministry of Education has also determined to improve the nutrition of students in less developed areas and provide equal opportunities for children of migrant workers to receive education in cities.2015年6月英语六级考试翻译真题及译文试卷一:中国城市化进程The 2011 is a historic moment in Chinese urbanization process, when the urban population surpassed the rural population for the first time. During the next 20 years, it is estimated that about 350 million rural population will move to cities. Such large-scale of urbanization is both a challenge and an opportunity to the urban traffic. The Chinese government has always been advocating “people-oriented” developing concept, emphasizing that people should travel by buses instead of by private cars. It also calls for the construction of “resource saving and environment friendly” society. With this expli cit goal, China can have a better-planned urbanization process, and therefore divert more investment to the development of safe, clean and economical transportation system.试卷二:汉朝The Han Dynasty is one of the most important dynasties in Chinese history. There were many significant achievements during the region of this Dynasty. It was the first dynasty to open the door to other cultures. And its foreign trade was prosperous. The Han Dynasty developed the Silk Road that reached the Middle and Western Asia and even Rome. Various forms of art thrived during that time when many great works on literature, history and philosophy sprang up. China’s first dictionary was compiled in 100 A.D.,containing 9000 characters, for which it provided meanings and displayed different ways of hand-writing. At the same time, development of science and technology had made great progress. Paper, water clocks, sundials and instruments used to detect earthquakes were invented. The Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years.

2013年6月大学英语六级考试真题(第一套)Passage One美国劳工统计局的报告就像预期的一样令人沮丧。
一月份的失业率猛增到7.6%,创16年新高,因为美国就业人数锐减59.8万,这是1974年12月以来的最大单月降幅。
由于过去三个月失掉了180万个工作岗位,所以美国人民迫切希望尽快提振经济。
但美国政府在对不容乐观的数据做出反应前最好还是深呼吸冷静一下。
总体上,我们基于失业数据和其他统计数据形成现实感。
它们是我们用以评估经济状况好坏的大量数据中至关重要的一部分,而这反过来又会影响政府政策、公司预算以及个人开支决定的形成。
问题是统计数据并不能客观地衡量现实;它们仅仅是最佳近似值。
在方向上,它们充分体现了发展趋势,但我们准确知道有多少人失业的观点却是谬论。
这也使得找到解决方案更加困难。
首先,数据收集是有方法的。
官方失业率是对约6万个家庭通过电话调查的产物。
还有另一种调查——有时被称为“薪资调查”——是基于汇报的工资名单对40万家企业进行估算。
两种调查都有问题。
薪资调查很容易重复计算某人:如果你身兼两职,你就会显示为两个人。
薪资调查也没有体现个体经营者的数量,因而几乎不能说明有多少人在产生独立收入。
家庭调查的问题就更大了。
当调查主题涉及性别、收入或就业情况时,直接询问的话,人们往往会撒谎或隐瞒真相。
如果你接到的电话询问你是否就业,你会说是的,你处于就业状态。
然而,如果你说没有,你惊讶地得知只有在过去四周内积极寻找工作,你才算失业;否则,你只是“与劳动力有些许关联”而并非真正失业。
量化的紧迫性一直存在于我们的社会之中。
但认为统计学家们这样就可以获知客观现实的想法不仅不可能实现,还会导致严重的判断错误。
民主党人和共和党人能够也将会对很多问题有自己的看法,但更重要的担忧是双方的主要决策都基于大概的估计,而不是用批判的眼光和开放的态度看待大量的原始数据。
Passage Two在2008年的某个瞬间,很可能是在亚洲或者非洲,某个人决定从农村迁移到城市。
2012.12六级试题及答案
Part I WritingA:Man and ComputerIt is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays,the function of the computer is no longer confined to calculation;it permeates people’s daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society。
People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine the life without computers。
Therefore, some people are worried that “The real danger is not that the computer will think like man,but man will think like the computer.” Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life。
According to a research,too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional connections with others.Yet,it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative impacts of computers。
