Invention must be attached great importance to, as it is invention that contributes to the advancement of our society. There are several examples which can be cited to illustrate this concept. I can think of no better illustration than the following one. If Edison hadn't invented the light bulb, we would have lived a life asthe blind in the night.Given that invention plays such an essential role in our life, what can we do to cultivate this precious spirit? For one thing, it is advisable for the social media and publicity department to vigorously inform the public of the importance of invention.For another, the relevant authority should set up favorable regulations to encourage invention. For example, they can set up the practice of giving premiums or issuing patent certificate to inventors.Finally, I want to use the following saying as our mutual encouragement, “Invention is the spirit of human being’s progress.”At no time should we underestimate the power of invention. Therefore, when an idea comes to your mindnext time, just make your own invention.Part ⅡListening Comprehension听力理解Section A1.

In the past, making a living takes most of Chinese people’s time, which gives them rare chance to go off on a trip. However, tourism has undergone rapid growth in China for the past few years. The prosperity of economy and the emergence of the affluent middleclass trigger an unprecedentedtourism boom. Not only does domestic traveling become common, but traveling abroad is also enjoying an increasing popularity among Chinese people. During the National Day holidays in 2016, tourism consumption amounts to more than 400 billion yuan. According to the statistical data by the World Trade Organization, China will have become the world's largest tourism country by 2020, and she will also see the fastest growth in overseas traveling expenditure in the next few years.第二套作文Part ⅠWriting（30 minutes）Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.参考范文My View on InnovationI’m not sure if you have heard one of Steve Jobs’famous remarks, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower”, which stresses the significance of innovation. It goeswithout saying that innovation can promote the advancement of society and is the most essential quality for anyone who wants to achieve success. With innovation, any progress will be possible; however, once indulged in tradition, everything will remain stagnant. Therefore, by some means or other we must come to know how to be innovative. On the one hand, from the standpoint of a nation, the government should encourage innovativeness and foster the mindset of continuous learning. Only by doing this can our nation achieve new breakthroughs in all walks of life. On the other hand, from the perspective of individuals, we should eich our knowledge reserves and arm ourselves with up-to-date knowledge. Only when we are equipped with vast stores of星火英语六级真题试卷pdf篇二：星火英语版2015年12月六级答案第2套2015年12月大学英语六级考试真题(二)答案Part ⅠWritingFor this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should focus on the difficulty in acquiring useful information in spite of advanced information technology. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. As the picture given depicts, several staff are having a meeting while one of them complained, “We have lots ofinformation technology. We just don't have much useful information.”What the picture presents is that 1. even though equipped with advanced devices and information technology, we can hardly obtain helpful information that we need.A multitude of reasons can account for the phenomenon. First of all, as we are increasingly dependent on various advanced devices, they have brought us much information. However, faced with so much information, we're actually not competent enough to tell the useful information from the useless one. What's more, the fact that the network management regulations are not perfect cannot be ignored, which makes it difficult to prevent our life being lumbered with useless bits of information.From my point of view, as we are now in a great new era of information, we cannot say no to the benefits that information technology has brought us. However, it’s high time we transferred our focus from obtaining information merely to discriminating information. Only in this way can we acquire the exact information that we need.Part ⅡListening ComprehensionSection A1. C) She is unable to use the new computer program.2. B) He prefers to stay home for the holiday.3. B) The location for their new office.4. A) A number of cell phones were found after the last show.5. C) The construction schedule may not be met.6.

C) But there are other kinds of momentum as well. After all, we don't speak only of objects orpeople as having momentum; we speak of entire systems having momentum.47. I) Another type of momentum we have to think about when planning for changes in our energysystems is labor-pool momentum.48. E) But the momentum of incandescent lighting does not stop there.49. K) As Vaclav Smil points out, “All the forecasts, plans, and anticipations cited above havefailed so miserably because their authors and promoters thought the transitions they hoped to implement would proceed unlike all previous energy transitions, and that their progress could be accelerated in an unprecedented manner.”50. G) As lighting expert Howard Brandston points out, “Generally, there are no bad light sources,only bad applications.”51. A) Politicians are fond of promising rapid energy transitions.52.

B) They can afford to choose easier majors in order to enjoy themselves.65.

China is now involved in the construction of high speed trains, ocean ships, robots, and even aircraft. Not long ago, China signed a contract to build a high speed rail in Indonesia. China also signed a contract with Malaysia to provide high-speed trains. These facts prove that people rely on Chinese-made products.Products made in China are becoming more and more popular. China has paid a price for it, but it does help to eliminate poverty. At the same time, it also provides employment opportunities for people all over the world. This is a good thing to be praised.

A wealth of new research is leading child psychologists to rethink their long-held beliefs about the emotional and intellectual abilities of even very young babies. Science is now giving us a much different picture of what goes on inside their hearts and heads. Long before they form their first words or attempt the feat of sitting up, they are already mastering complex emotions—jealousy, empathy (移情), frustration —that were once thought to be learned much later.A New Baby ResearchLittle Victoria Bateman is blue-eyed and as cute a baby as there ever was. At 6 months, she is also trusting and unsuspecting, which is a good thing, because otherwise she'd never goalong with what's about to happen. It's a sunny June afternoon in Lubbock, Texas, and inside the Human Sciences lab at Texas Tech University, Victoria's mother is settling her daughter into a high chair, where she is the latest subject in an ongoing experiment aimed at understanding the way babies think. Sybil Hart, an associate professor of human development and leader of the study, trains video cameras on mother and daughter. Everything is set. Hart hands the mother, Cheryl Bateman, a children's book, Elmo Pops In, and instructs her to engross herself in its pages. “Just have a conversation with me about the book, ”Hart tells her. “The most important thing is, do not look at Victoria. ” As the two women chat, Victoria looks around the room, feeling a little bored.After a few minutes, Hart leaves the room and returns cradling a lifelike baby doll. Dramatically, Hart places it in Cheryl Bateman's arms, and tells her to embrace the doll while continuing to ignore Victoria. “That's OK, little baby, ” Bateman coos, hugging and rocking the doll. Victoria is not bored anymore. At first, she cracks her best smile. When that doesn't work, she begins kicking. But her mom pays her no mind. That's when Victoria loses it. Soon she's crying so hard it looks like she might spit up. Hart rushes in. “OK, we're done, ” she says, and takes back the doll. Cheryl Bateman goes to comfort her daughter. “I've never seen her react like that to anything, ”she says. Over the last 10 months, Hart has repeated the scene hundreds of times. It's the same in nearly every case: tiny babies, overwhelmed with jealousy. Even Hart was stunned to find that infants could experience an emotion, which, until recently, was thought to be way beyond their grasp.Findings of Baby ResearchThe new research is sure to confuse new parents—see, Junior is a genius—but it's more than just an academic exercise. Armed with the new information, pediatricians(儿科医生) are starting to change the way they evaluate their youngest patients. In addition to tracking physical development, they are now focusing much more deeply on emotional advancement. The research shows how powerful emotional well-being is to a child's future health. A baby who fails to meet certain key “emotional milestones” may have trouble learning to speak, read and, later, do well in school. By reading emotional responses, doctors have begun to discover ways to tell if a baby as young as 3 months is showing early signs of possible psychological disorders, including depression, anxiety, learning disabilities and perhaps autism.One of the earliest emotions that even tiny babies display is, admirably enough, empathy. In fact, concern for others may be hard-wired into babies' brains. Place a newborn down next to another crying infant, and chances are, both babies will soon be wailing (悲叹) away. “Peoplehave always known that babies cry when they hear other babies cry, ” says Martin Hoffman, a psychology professor at New York University who did the first studies on infant empathy in the 1970s. “The question was, why are they crying?”Does it mean that the baby is truly concerned for his fellow human, or just annoyed by the racket? A recent study conducted in Italy, which built on Hoffman's own work, has largely settled the question. Researchers played for infants tapes of other babies' crying. As predicted, that was enough to start the tears flowing. But when researchers played babies, recordings of their own cries, they rarely began crying themselves. The verdict:“there is some empathy in place, right from birth, ” Hoffman says. The intensity of the emotion tends to fade over time. Babies older than 6 months no longer cry but grimace(作苦相) at the discomfort of others. By 13 to 15 months, babies tend to take matters into their own hands. They'll try to comfort a crying playmate. “What I find most charming is when, even if the two mothers are present, they'll bring their own mother over to help, ”Hoffman says.Part of that empathy may come from another early-baby skill, the ability to discern emotions from the facial expressions of the people around them. “Most textbooks still say that babies younger than 6 months don't recognize emotions, ” says Diane Montague, assistant professor of psychology at LaSalle University in Philadelphia. To put that belief to the test, Montague came up with a twist on every infant's favorite game, and recruited dozens of 4-month-olds to play along. She began by peeking around a cloth with a big smile on her face. Predictably, the babies were delighted, and stared at her intently—the time-tested way to tell if a baby is interested. On the fourth peek, though, Montague emerged with a sad look on her face. This time, the response was much different. “They not only looked away, ”she says, but wouldn't look back even when she began smiling again. Refusing to make eye contact is a classic baby sign of distress. An angry face got their attention once again, but their faces showed no pleasure. “They seemed primed to be alert, even vigilant, ”Montague says. “I realize that's speculative in regard to infants. . . I think it shows that babies younger than 6 months find meaning in expressions. ”They are also far more sophisticated intellectually than we once believed. Babies, as young as 4 months, have advanced powers of deduction and an ability to understand the intricate patterns. They have a surprisingly visual palette(燃料，调色板), which enables them to notice small differences, especially in faces, that adults and older children lose the ability to see. Until a baby is 3 months old, he can recognize a photograph of his mother just as quickly as a photo in which everything is in the right place.Challenges and Dangers of Baby ResearchThis might be a good place to pause for a word about the challenges and dangers of baby research. Since the subjects can't speak for themselves, figuring out what's going on inside their heads is often a matter of reading their faces and body language. If this seems speculative, it's not. Over decades of trial and error, researchers have fine-tuned their observation skills and zeroed in on numerous consistent baby responses to various stimuli: how long they stare at an object, what they reach out for and what makes them recoil in fear or disgust can often tell experienced researchers everything they need to know. More recently, scientists have added EEGs and laser eye tracking, which allow more precise readings.1. The passage is mainly about those researches that focus on the emotional and intellectual abilities of those very young babies.2. The purpose of the experiment on Victoria Bateman is to find out how important the mother's love is to her baby.3. In the experiment, Victoria Bateman cried because she thought that her mother didn't love her any more.4. Only through reading emotional responses can doctors tell whether a 3-month baby will get possible psychological disorders.5. Pediatricians are now paying less attention to physical development of their baby patients but more to _________________.6. Hoffman's study revealed that babies are born to show other crying babies _________________.7. The findings of Diane's test demonstrated the baby's ability to recognize _________________.8.

First, there are no special relationships in the group. No particular girl and boy are together all the time. Second, the group date may (37) on a weekend, but it may not be (38) in advance. A group of young people may decide on Saturday afternoon that they want to spend Saturday evening together. They may all decide to go to a movie, or to some other events. On a group date, no one is (39) with anyone else. As a result, every person pays for his or her own (40). This means that the girls must pay for themselves. They must pay their own (41) for the movies, for a cup of coffee, or for anything else that(42) money during the date.Many young people find the group date to be a great deal of(43). The young men on a group date are under no pressure. (44) . They do not have to pay for anyone but themselves. They do not have to be especially polite of formal during the date. Everyone can relax and have a good time. Group dates may lead to serious relationships for some members of the group. (45). They may spend more time together, with the group, and with each other. But usually, (46). No one worries about a serious relationship.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 on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.They are people who struggle to make their voice heard, but the world is likely to hear more and more about them. If they all belonged to one nation, it would be a fair size, as big as Chileor Kazakhstan. Yet by definition, they belong to no country at all:they are the world's growing band of stateless people who have no citizenship rights, and are often unable to claim the things that states can provide, like travel documents and education. According to international officials whose job is to cope with human flotsam and jetsam, the problem of statelessness is growing fast, despite a modest decline in the number of refugees in the strict sense.Some people become stateless because they are forced out of one country, and no other nation will accept them, or even grant them the rights which “refugees”—people who seek shelter because of a proven risk of persecution—can claim. Some people never leave home but find they are stranded by the shift in borders. Also being ranked among the stateless are marginal groups who cannot claim civic rights because their births went unrecorded.As a classic case of statelessness, take the Biharis of Bangladesh. They mostly took the West Pakistani side in the 1971 war that led to the creation of Bangladesh, ensuring that they were unwelcome in the new state. Some were moved in organised exchanges—until Pakistan stopped taking them. Perhaps 300 000 remain stateless.In fact, legal limbo(前途未卜) is not an either-or condition; there are degrees of statelessness. Among the Palestinians who fled during the war that followed Israel's creation, some—those in Jordan—were given passports, but in other Arab states, they simply got “refugee travel documents”. No Arab state wanted to naturalise the newcomers, but the level of rights has varied from place to place.António Guterres, the current high commissioner for refugees, says more and more countries agree, at least, that statelessness is a problem; and several have taken steps to alleviate it.47. If the stateless people belonged to one nation, their number would equal the population of ______________.48. Why do refugees leave their home country and seek protection somewhere else?49. The situation that people who never leave home become stateless results from______________.50. Why were the Biharis unwelcome in the newly established Bangladesh?51. Arab states' treatments of the fleeing Palestinians are different from place to place in terms of______________.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 the corresponding letteron Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage oneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Getting ready to go back to school in the good old days of, say, 1998 meant a few trips to the mall and a quick check of the bus route. This year, for many parents, there are some new things to remember: The teacher's e-mail address, the school's website and which night online homework helps chat will be offered. “The 1999-2000 school year will be the one when the majority of parents really feel the Internet's influence on their children's education at the everyday level, ”says Jonathan Carson, chairman of the Family Education Co. , which offers a parenting website at www. family education. com and a framework for local schools to create and maintain their own sites.This year promises to show a quantum leap in the spread of school technology: Parents in many districts can expect to be able to check the school lunch menu, read class notes, see activity calendar and view nightly homework assignments—all online. “The schools are wired, ”says Carson. “A majority of parents now have access and the educators are ready to go. ”Over the summer, parents of high school German students in Ithaca, N. Y. got to be part of a class to Europe, through their home computers. The class brought a digital camera and laptop with them to Germany and documented their visit on their web page. Hazy Ash, father of 16-year-old traveler Brian, found it reassuring to see his son's smiling face from half a world away. Before their kids left, parents had checked the site for scheduling information, a list of activities and advice on cultural differences.When it's designed well, a district, school or classroom website can change the relationship between the parents and the school, says Cynthia Lapier, Ithaca's director of information and instructional technology. “The more you can involve parents in school, the better, ”Lapier says. “The technology gives us another way to reach them, especially parents of secondary school students, who tend to be less involved. ”Ithaca high school physics teacher, Stever Wirt, gets e-mail from parents regular1y, some from the parents he believes might otherwise not pick up the phone with a concern. Using software called Blackboard Course Info, Wirt conducts online chats with his students often reviewing fora quiz or discussing homework problems.The way things are going, by the end of this year, many parents may be fully converted—and in fact dependent upon their schools' technological capabilities. At a recently wired school in Novi, Michigan, the school webmaster was just a few hours late posting the lunch-menu calendar on the website. In that time, more than a dozen parents called him by telephone to request the information. “A year ago, it never would have been there, ”says Carson. And now parents are finding it's tough to get by without it.52. Many parents now remember the teacher's e-mail address and the school's website because__________.A) by doing so they needn't go to the store to buy stationery for their childrenB) they can reach their children's school and the teachers without traveling thereC) the e-mail and the website can help them find out what their children doD) they can observe how the Internet affect their children's education every day53. “The schools are wired. A majority of parents now have access and the educators are readyto go. ”(Lines 3-4, Para. 2) means that __________.A) the schools and parents are connected by the Internet so that teachers will leave schoolB) parents can find out what happens to their children in school by visiting InternetC) parents and educators may discover that schools are strange by using computersD) the schools are online and parents now can teach their children and the teachers are to go54. The example of Ithaca high school is used to show __________.A) how important the school website is for parents to be involved in educationB) that the school online can reassure the parents about what their children doC) how the parents of the students got to be part of a class trip to EuropeD) it is more likely for parents to send teachers e-mails than to phone them55. According to the last paragraph, the attitude of parents towards the lunch-menu calendaron the website is.A) reliant B) optimistic C) baised D) opposite56. According to this passage，which of the following will be changed most?A) The relationship between teachers and schools.B) The connection between students and schools.C) The relationship between parents and schools.D) The association between websites and schools.Passage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Traffic statistics paint a gloomy picture. To help solve their traffic woes, some rapidly growing U. S. cities have simply built more roads. But traffic experts say building more roads is a quick fix solution that will not alleviate the traffic problem in the long run. Soaring land costs, increasing concern over social and environmental disruptions caused by road-building, and the likelihood that more roads can only lead to more cars and traffic are powerful factors bearing down on a 1950s' style constructions program.The goal of smart-highway technology is to make traffic systems work at optimum efficiency by treating the road and the vehicles traveling on them as an integral transportation system. Proponents of this advanced technology say electronic detection systems, closed-circuit television radio communication, ramp metering (斜坡坡度计量), variable message signing, and other smart highway technology can now be used at a reasonable cost to improve communication between drivers and the people who monitor traffic.Pathfinder, a Santa Monica, California based smart highway project in which a 14 mile stretch of the Santa Monica Freeway, making up what is called a “smart corridor”, is being instrumented with buried loops in the pavement. Closed circuit television cameras survey the flow of traffic, while communications linked to properly equipped automobiles advise motorists of the least congested routes or detours (便道).Not all traffic experts, however, look to smart-highway technology as the ultimate solution to traffic jam. Some say the high-tech approach is limited and can only offer temporary solutions to a serious problem.“Electronics on the highway addresses just one aspect of the problem: how to regulate traffic more efficiently, ”explains Michael Renner, senior researcher at the Worldwatch Institute. “It doesn't deal with the central problems of too many cars for roads that can't be built fast enough. It sends people the wrong message. ”“They start thinking, ‘Yes, there used to be a traffic congestion problem, but that's been solved now because we have an advanced high-tech system in place. '”Larson agrees and adds, “smart highway is just one of the tools that we will use to deal with our traffic problems. It's not the solution itself, just part of the package. There are different strategies. ”Other traffic problem-solving options being studied and experimented which include car pooling, rapid mass-transit systems, staggered or flexible work hours, and road pricing, a system whereby motorists pay a certain amount for the time they use a highway. It seems that we need a new, major thrust to deal with the traffic problems of the next 20 years. There has to be a big change.57. In Para. 1, “a quick fix solution”is closest in meaning to __________.A) a best solution B) a fast solutionC) a ready solution D) an efficient solution58. According to the passage, the smart highway technology is aimed to __________.A) deploy sophisticated facilities on the interstate highwaysB) provide passenger vehicles with a variety of servicesC) optimize the highway capabilitiesD) improve communication between driver and the traffic monitors59．According to this passage the method of Highways Get Smart is __________.A) the ultimate solution to traffic congestionB) a wrong solution for the traffic problemsC) a venture to remedy traffic woesD) part of the package to relieve traffic gridlock60. According to Larson, to redress the traffic problem, __________.A) car pooling must be studiedB) rapid mass-transit systems must be introducedC) flexible work hours must be experimented。

And for dogs, like people, it is the left-hand side that is sinister (凶兆的).A few years ago Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trento and his colleague established that dogs wag their tail to the right when they see something pleasant, such as a beloved human master, and to the left when they see something unpleasant, such as an unfamiliar dominant dog. What Dr. Vallortigara did not establish then was whether such signals are 27 to other dogs. Now, he and the team have done just that.As they reported in Current Biology, they wired up several dozen dogs and then showed them videos of dogs with tails wagging to left or right. A left-wagging tail, they found, 28 a higher maximum heart rate than a right-wagging tail. A right-wagging tail, indeed, produced the same results as one that was stationary.Dr. Vallortigara and his colleagues also observed the animals during the experiment, 29 behaviors such as ear-flattening, head-lowering and whining (哀叫) that are 30 with stress. They found that stressed behaviors were more common in the 31 of left-wagging than right-wagging.All this suggests lateral specialization in dogs’ brains. The nervous signals for left-wagging and right-wagging 32 in different hemispheres. That they are 33 by different emotions shows that the two halves of a dog brain work, in this 34 at least, differently.Human brains are similarly lateralized. Handedness is one example. Another is language, a function predominantly of the left hemisphere. Whether it is just a 35 that dogs and people agree about which side is sinister, or whether there is something deeper going on, remains to be determined.Section BDoes the Internet Make You DumberA.The Roman philosopher Seneca may have put it best 2 000 years ago: ―To be everywhere is to be nowhere.‖Today, the Internet grants us easy access to unprecedented amounts of information. But a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the Net, with its constant distractions and interruptions, is also turning us into disrupted and superficial thinkers.B.The picture emerging from the research is deeply troubling, at least to anyone who values the depth, rather thanjust the speed, of human thought. People who read text studded with links, the studies show, comprehend less than those who read traditional linear text. People who watch busy multimedia presentations remember less than those who take in information in a more sedate (镇定的) and focused manner. People who are continually distracted by e-mails, updates and other messages understand less than those who are able to concentrate. And people who juggle (同时应付) many tasks are often less creative and less productive than those who do one thing at a time.C.The common thread in these disabilities is dispersing our attention. The richness of our thoughts, our memoriesand even our personalities hinges on our ability to focus the mind and sustain concentration. Only when we pay close attention to a new piece of information are we able to associate it ―meaningfully and systematically withknowledge already well established in memory,‖ writes the Nobel prize-winning neuroscientist (神经科学家) Eric Kandel. Such associations are essential to mastering complex concepts.D.When we’re constantly distracted and interrupted, as we tend to be online, our brains are unable to generalizethe strong and expansive neural connections that give depth and distinctiveness to our contemplating. We become mere signal-processing units, quickly shepherding disjointed bits of information into and then out of short-term memory.E.In an article published in Science last year, Patricia Greenfield, a leading developmental psychologist, revieweddozens of studies on how different media technologies influence our cognitive abilities. Some of the studies indicated that certain computer tasks, such as playing video games, can enhance ―visual literacy skills‖, increasing the speed at which people can shift their focus among icons and other images on screens. Other studies, however, found that such rapid shifts in focus, even if performed adeptly, result in less rigorous and ―more automatic‖ thinking.F.In one experiment conducted at Cornell University, for example, half a class of students was allowed to useinternet-connected laptops during a lecture, while the other had to keep their computers shut. Those who browsed the web performed much worse on a subsequent test of how well they retai ned the lecture’s content.While it’s hardly surprising that Web surfing would distract students, it should be a note of caution to schools that are wiring their classrooms in hopes of improving learning.G.Ms. Greenfield concluded that ―every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others‖. Ourgrowing use of screen-based media, she said, has strengthened visual-spatial intelligence, which can improve the ability to do jobs that involve keeping track of lots of simultaneous signals, like air traffic control. But that has been accompanied by ―new weaknesses in higher-order cognitive processes‖, including ―abstract vocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem solving, critical thinking, and imagination‖. We’re becoming, in a word, shallower.H.In another experiment, recently conducted at Stanford University’s Communication between Humans andInteractive Media Lab, a team of researchers gave various cognitive tests to 49 people who do a lot of media multitasking and 52 people who multitask much less frequently. The heavy multitaskers performed poorly on all the tests. They were more easily distracted, had less control over their attention, and were much less able to distinguish important information from trivial.I.The researchers were surprised by the results. They had expected that the intensive multitaskers would havegained some mental advantages from all their on-screen juggling. But that wasn’t the case. In fact, the heavy mul titaskers weren’t even good at multitasking. ―Everything distracts them,‖ said Clifford Nass, the professor who heads the Stanford lab.J.It would be one thing if the ill effects went away as soon as we turned off our computers and mobiles. But they don't. The cellular structure of the human brain, scientists have discovered, adapts readily to the tools we use to find, store and share information. By changing our habits of mind, each new technology strengthens certain neural pathways and weakens others. The cellular alterations continue to shape the way we think even when we’re not using the technology.K.The pioneering neuroscientist Michael Merzenich believes our brains are being ―massively remodelled‖ by our ever-intensifying use of the web and related media. In the 1970s and 1980s, Merzenich, now a professor emeritus(荣誉退休教授) at the University of California in San Francisco, conducted a famous series of experiments on primate brains that revealed how extensively and quickly neural circuits change in response to experience. When, for example, Mr. Merzenich rearranged the nerve in a monkey’s hand, the nerve cells in the animal’s sensory cortex quickly reorganized themselves to create a new ―mental map‖of the hand. In a conversation late last year, he said that he was profoundly worried about the cognitive consequences of the constant distractions and interruptions the internet bombards us with. The long-term effect on the quality of our intellectual lives, he said, could be ―deadly‖.L.What we seem to be sacrificing in all our surfing and searching is our capacity to engage in the quieter, attentive modes of thought that underpin contemplation, reflection and introspection. The Web never encourages us to slow down. It keeps us in a state of perpetual mental locomotion. it is revealing, and distressing, to compare the cognitive effects of the Internet with those of an earlier information technology, the printed book. whereas the Internet scatters our attention, the book focuses it. Unlike the screen, the page promotes contemplativenss.M.Reading a long sequence of pages helps us develop a rare kind of mental discipline. the innate bias of the human brain, after all, is to be distracted. Our predisposition is to be aware of as much of what’s going on around us as possible. Our fast-paced, reflexive shifts in focus were once crucial to our survival. They reduced the odds that a predator would take us by surprise or that we’d overlook a nearby source of food.N.To read a book is to practice an unnatural process of thought. It requires us to place ourselves at what T. S. Eliot, in his poem ―Four Quartets‖, called ―the still point of the turning world‖. We have to forge or strengthen the neural links needed to counter our instinctive distractedness, thereby gaining greater control over our attention and our mind.O.It is this control, this mental discipline, which we are at risk of losing as we spend ever more time scanning and skimming online. If the slow progression of words across printed pages damped our craving to be inundated by mental stimulation, the Internet indulges it. It returns us to our native state of distractedness, while presenting us with far more distractions than our ancestors ever had to contend with. –Nicholas Carr is the author, most recently, of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains.36. Rapid shifts in focus on screens result in more automatic but less strict thinking.37. People grasp less of text filled with hyperlinks than of traditional text.38. According to Ms. Greenfield, growing use of screen-based media has improved our visual-spatial intelligence.39. The richness of our memories relies on our ability to concentrate.40. Unprecedented amounts of information can make our thoughts scattered and superficial.41. When we turn off our computers and cellphones, the ill effects will not disappear.42. When we are online, our brains cannot form distinctive and profound thinking.43. Whereas the Internet distracts our attention, the book concentrates it.44. Web surfing would distract students rather than improve their learning.45. According to the experiment at Stanford University, multitaskers’ attention was easily scattered.Section CPassage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.There are too many camels in the Bible, out of time and out of place. Camels probably had little or no role in the lives of some early Jewish patriarchs who lived in the first half of the second millennium BC, and yet stories about them mention these domesticated pack animals more than 20 times. these anachronisms(年代错误) are telling evidence that the Bible was written or edited long after the events in narrates and is not always reliable as verifiable history. These camel stories ―do not tell memories from the second millennium,‖ said Noam Mizrahi, an Israeli biblical scholar, ―but should be viewed as speculations from a much later period.‖Four two archaeologists at Tel Aviv University, the anachronisms were motivation to dig for camel bones at an ancient copper smelting camp in the Aravah Valley in Israel. They sought evidence of when domesticated camels were first introduced into the land of Israel and the surrounding region. The archaeologists, Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen, used radiocarbon (放射性碳) dating to pinpoint the earliest know domesticated camels in Israel to the last third decades of the 10th century BC—centuries after the patriarchs lived and decades after the kingdom of David, according to the Bible. Some bones in deeper sediments(沉积物), they said, probably belonged to wild camels that people hunted for their meat. Dr. Sapir-Hen could identify a domesticated animal by signs in leg bonesthat it had carried heavy loads.―The introduction of the camel to our region was a very important economic and social development,‖Dr. Ben-Yosef said in a telephone interview. ―The camel enabled long-distance trade for the first time, all the way to India, and perfume trade with Arabia. It’s unlikely that mules and donkeys could have traveled across the distance from one desert oasis to the next.‖Dr. Mizrahi, a professor of Hebrew culture studies at Tel Aviv University who was not directly involved in the research, said that by the seventh century BC camels had become widely employed in trade and travel in Israel and through the Middle East, from Africa as far as India. The camel’s influence on biblical research was profound, if confusing, for that happened to be the time that the patriarchal stories were committed to writing and eventually become part of the Hebrew Bible.―One should be careful not to rush to the conclusion that the new archaeological findings automatically deny any historical value from the biblical stories,‖ Dr. Mizrahi said in an e-mail. ―Rather, they established that these traditions were indeed reformulated in relatively late periods after camels had been integrated into the Near Eastern economic system. But this does not mean that these very traditions cannot capture other details that have an older historical background.‖46. What can we learn from the anachronisms about ancient camels in the Bible?A. The Bible accurately depicts early Jewish patriarchs’ lives.B. Camels were just early Jewish patriarchs’ imagination.C. The Bible cannot always be regarded as reliable history.D. Camels were used as pack animals by Jewish patriarchs.47. What is the reliable evidence to distinguish the remains of wild camels from that of domesticated ones?A. The radiocarbon dating. C. The camels’ capacity of bearing load.B. The burial depth of sediments. D. Trace on the camels’ leg bones.48. What might be an obstacle for the development of ancient Israelites?A. Lack of pack animals. C. Risks in the perfume trade.B. Nearly impassable desert. D. The complicated traveling route.49. Why did people add many camel stories to the Hebrew Bible、A. Camels made great contributions to people’s lives at that time.B. People at that time wanted to confuse the later readers.C. The Hebrews hoped to boost the long-distance trade through camels.D. Writers of the Bible wanted transfer their love of camels to later generations.50. What did Dr. Mizrahi think of the Bible?A. The Bible is the history of the domesticated camels.B. Some people tamper with the Bible.C. Some other details in the Bible are also worth studying.D. The Bible doesn’t have any research value.Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Is your doctor telling you the truth? Possibly not, according to a new survey in Health Affairs of nearly 1,900 physicians around the country.The researchers found that 55% of doctors said that in the last year they had been more positive about a patient’s prognosis (预断) than his medical history warranted. And 10% said they had told patients something that wasn’t true.About a third of the M.D. s said they did not completely agree that they should disclose medical errors to patients, and 40% said they didn’t feel the need to disclose financial ties to drug or device companies.Really? The study’s lead author, Dr. Lisa Iezzoni, a medicine professor at Harvard Medical School and director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital, was surprised to learn how dishonest her colleagues were. ―Some of the numbers were larger than i expected they might be,‖ she says.Why the white lies? In some cases, Iezzoni says it was self-protection. Nearly 20% of the doctors admitted that they didn’t disclose a medical error to their patients because they were afraid of being sued for malpractice.In other cases, it may have been for the patient’s benefit. M. D. s might spare an anxious patient from hearing about the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, for example, if it has no impact on the patient’s health. Conversely (相反地), the doctor might exaggerate a health result in hopes of motivating a patient to take better care of himself.―The doctor-patient relationship is a human interaction, and physicians are human too,‖ says Iezzoni. ―They don’t want to upset their patients, they don’t want their patients to look unhappy or burst into tears. But they also need to be professionals, so they need to tell themselves that if there is a difficult truth they need to tell their patient, they need to figure out a way of communicating that effectively.‖That’s critical for doctors to appreciate, because as well-intentioned as their lies may be, other studies consistently show that patients prefer the truth, and would rather hear harsh news than remain ignorant about a terrible medical condition. Being fully informed is a way that patients can cope and prepare for whatever might occur.As for the failure to disclose medical errors, Iezzoni says doctors’fear of malpractice suits may often be misplaced. Studies suggest that in cases where physicians are open about their mistakes, patients are more likely to be understanding and refrain from suing.So how can doctors learn to be more honest with their patients? More training about how to communicate with people about their health is critical—especially when it comes to delivering bad news. Patients also need to be clear and firm about how honest they want their doctors to be. Communication is a two-way street, after all, even in the doctor’s office.51. According to the new survey in Health Affairs, about two fifths of the doctors ___________.A. were more positive on predicting the patients’ diseaseB. admitted to telling lies to their patientsC. were unwilling to reveal malpractice to patientsD. felt it unnecessary to reveal the economic relation with drug companies52. According to the passage, the doctors tell the white lies because they _______________.A. want to protect themselves C. are ignorant about the patients’ situationB. want to keep the patients nervous D. want the patients to spend more money53. What is the result of other studies on patients’ attitude towards truth?A. They want to know the truth instead of lies.B. They prefer those lies which intend to be kind.C. They would rather remain uninformed about bad news.D. They feel it unimportant whether to tell the truth or not.54. Studies show if the doctors disclose their medical errors, patients might possibly ___________.A. lose confidence in them C. become worriedB. understand them D. accuse them of malpractice55. What’s the main topic of the passage？A. The honesty of your doctor. C. The training in communication.B. The doctor-patient relationship. D. The reasons for telling white lies.Part IV Translation天宫一号目标飞行器(Tiangong-1 target spacecraft)于2011年9月29日发射，是中国第一个目标飞行器和空间实验室。

Of course, such growth may not persist in the long term—which is what Mr. Brown and the Stockholm declaration were both attempting to point out. Perhaps the best example of boom growth and bust decline is the Grand Banks fishery. For almost five centuries a very large supply of cod （鳕鱼）provided abundant raw material for an industry which at its peak employed about 40,000 people, sustaining entire communities in Newfoundland. Then, abruptly, the cod population collapsed. There were no longer enough fish in the sea for the stock to maintain itself, let alone an industry. More than a decade later, there was no sign of the ecosystem re-building itself. It had, apparently, been fished out of existence; and the once mighty Newfoundland fleet now gropes about frantically for crab on the sea floor.37.C)“The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world,” read the final declaration from this gathering, the first of a sequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit in Johannesburg three years ago.38. L)This view assumes that rich societies will invest in environmental care. But is this right? Do things get better or worse as we get richer. Here the Stockholm declaration is ambiguous. “In the developing countries,” it says, “most of the environmental problems are caused by under-development.” So it is saying that economic development should make for a cleaner world? Not necessarily. “In the industrialised countries, environmental problems are generally related to industrialisation and technological development,” it continues. In other words, poor and rich both over-exploit the natural world, but for different reasons. It's simply not true that economic growth will surely make our world cleaner.39. D)Hunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groups—many for conferences such as this year's Millennium Goals review—and you will find that the linkage between environmental protection and economic progress is a common thread.40. K)Whether this is right, and if so where and when the ecological axe will fall, is hard to determine with any precision—which is why governments and financial institutions are only beginning to bring such risks into their economic calculations. It is also the reason why development agencies are not united in their view of environmental issues; while some, like the WRI, maintain that environmental progress needs to go hand-in-hand with economic development, others argue that the priority is to build a thriving economy, and then use the wealth created to tackle environmental degradation.41. E)Managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them, according to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. But finding hard evidence to support the thesis is not so easy. Thoughts turn first to some sort of global statistic, some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic and environmental terms and show a relationship between the two.42. G)The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a vast four-year global study which reported its initial conclusions earlier this year, found reasons to believe that managing ecosystems sustainably—working with nature rather than against—might be less profitable in the short term, but certainly brings long-term rewards.43. A) “If our economies are to flourish, if global poverty is to be eliminated and if the well-being of the world's people enhanced—not just in this generation but in succeeding generations—we must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends.”That statement comes not, as you might imagine, from a stereotypical tree-hugging, save-the-world greenie （环保主义者）, but from Gordon Brown, a politician with a reputation for rigour, thoroughness and above all, caution.44. N)A case can be made that rich nations export environmental problems, the most graphic example being climate change. As a country's wealth grows, so do its greenhouse gas emissions. The figures available will not be completely accurate. Measuring emissions is not a precise science, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding land use; not all nations have released up-to-date data, and in any case, emissions from some sectors such as aviation are not included in national statistics. But the data is exact enough for a clear trend to be easily discernible. As countries become richer, they produce more greenhouse gases; and the impact of those gases will fall primarily in poor parts of the world.45. J)There is a view that modern humans are inevitably sowing the seeds of a global Grand Banks-style disaster. The idea is that we are taking more out of what you might call the planet's environmental bank balance than it can sustain; we are living beyond our ecological means. One recent study attempted to calculate the extent of this “ecological overshoot of the human economy”, and found that we are using 1.2 Earth's-worth of environmental goods and services—the implication being that at some point the debt will be called in, and all those services—the things which the planet does for us for free—will grind to a halt.Section CPassage One46.

F)The Senate Finance bill would impose an excise tax (消费税) on health insurance plans that cost more than ＄8,000 for an individual or ＄21,000 for a family. It would most likely cause insurers to redesign plans to fall beneath the threshold. Enrollees would have to pay more money for many services out of their own pockets, and that would encourage them to think twice about whether an expensive or redundant test was worth it. Economists project that most employers would shift money from expensive health benefits into wages. The House bill has no similar tax. The final legislation should.37. J)Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identified and expanded and the bad ones are dropped. The Senate bill would create an independent commission to monitor the pilot programs and recommend changes in Medicare's payment policies to urge providers to adopt reforms that work. The changes would have to be approved or rejected as a whole by Congress, making it hard for narrow-interest lobbies to bend lawmakers to their will.38. A) Americans are deeply concerned about the relentless rise in health care costs and health insurance premiums. They need to know if reform will help solve the problem. The answer is that no one has an easy fix for rising medical costs. The fundamental fix—reshaping how care is delivered and how doctors are paid in a wasteful, abnormal system—is likely to be achieved only through trial and error and incremental (渐进的) gains.39. G)Any doctor who has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers, or patients who have tried to understand their own parade of statements, know that simplification ought to save money. When the health insurance industry was still cooperating in reform efforts, its trade group offered to provide standardized forms for automated processing. It estimated that step would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. The bills would lock that pledge into law.40. L)The final legislation might throw a public plan into the competition, but thanks to the fierce opposition of the insurance industry and Republican critics, it might not save much money. The one in the House bill would have to negotiate rates with providers, rather than using Medicare rates, as many reformers wanted.41. H)The stimulus package provided money to convert the inefficient, paper-driven medical system to electronic records that can be easily viewed and transmitted. This requires open investments to help doctors convert. In time it should help restrain costs by eliminating redundant tests, preventing drug interactions, and helping doctors find the best treatments.42.C)Medical spending, which typically rises faster than wages and the overall economy, is propelled by two things: the high prices charged for medical services in this country and the volume of unnecessary care delivered by doctors and hospitals, which often perform a lot moretests and treatments than a patient really needs.43. I)Virtually all experts agree that the fee-for-service system—doctors are rewarded for the quantity of care rather than its quality or effectiveness—is a primary reason that the cost of care is so high. Most agree that the solution is to push doctors to accept fixed payments to care for a particular illness or for a patient's needs over a year. No one knows how to make that happen quickly. The bills in both houses would start pilot projects within Medicare. They include such measures as accountable care organizations to take charge of a patient's needs with an eye on both cost and quality, and chronic disease management to make sure the seriously ill, who are responsible for the bulk of all health care costs, are treated properly. For the most part, these experiments rely on incentive payments to get doctors to try them.44. P)The House bill would authorize the secretary of health and human services to negotiate drug prices in Medicare and Medicaid. Some authoritative analysts doubt that the secretary would get better deals than private insurers already get. We believe negotiation could work. It does in other countries.45. K)The bills in both chambers would create health insurance exchanges on which small businesses and individuals could choose from an array of private plans and possibly a public option. All the plans would have to provide standard benefit packages that would be easy to compare. To get access to millions of new customers, insurers would have a strong incentive to sell on the exchange. And the head-to-head competition might give them a strong incentive to lower their prices, perhaps by accepting slimmer profit margins or demanding better deals from providers.Section CPassage One46. C) Its benefits outweigh the hazards involved.47. C) Farmers and consumers may be affected by harmful bacteria.48. A) Favorable.49. B) They can be dealt with through education.50.

When I was in high school, dozens in my class alone would have answered differently. In fact, other recent studies have found there has never been a time in American history when so small a proportion of young people have sought or accepted leadership roles in local civic organizations. It is also troubling that voting rates among our youngest eligible voters—18-to 24-year-olds—are way down: Little more than one in four now go to the polls, even in national elections, compared with almost twice that many when 18-year-olds were first given the vote.37. B) Such results may seem surprising against the background of shocking incidents that color the way the mass media portray the young. In October 2000, the same month the survey was taken, the Washington-based Center for Media and Public Affairs wrote in its publication Media Monitor that, in a recent month of TV news coverage of American youth, just 2% of teens were shown at home, and just 1% were portrayed in a work setting. In contrast, the criminal justice system accounted for nearly one out of every five visual backgrounds. No wonder parents worry their own kids might spin out of control once they hit the turbulent waters of adolescence.38. F)How much is today's spirit of harmony a change from our more turbulent past? A mere generation ago, parent-child relations were described as “the generation gap”. Yet even then reports of widespread youth rebellion were overdone: Most kids in the ’60s and ’70s shared their parents' basic values. Still, it is true that American families are growing closer at the dawn of this new millennium （千年）. Perhaps there is less to fight about, with the country in a period of tranquility and the dangers of drug abuse and other unwholesome behavior well known. Perhaps in the face of impersonal and intimidating globalization, a young person's family feels more like a friendly haven than an oppressive trap. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than inthe recent past. Within just the past five years, I have noticed parents returning to a belief that teenagers need the guidance of elders rather than the liberal, “anything goes” mode of child-rearing that became popular in the second half of the 20th century.39. D)My own research at the Stanford Center on Adolescence uses in-depth interviews with small samples of youngsters rather than large-scale surveys. Still, in my studies and others I have read, I find the same patterns as in USA WEEKEND's survey. Today's teenagers admire their parents and welcome parental guidance about important matters such as career choice—though certainly not Mom and Dad's advice on matters of personal taste, such as music or fashion. When we ask teens to choose a hero, they usually select an older family member rather than a remote public figure. Most teens say they enjoy the company of both parents and friends.40. C)The overall facts ought to reassure us. The survey shows us that today's teens are affectionate, sensible and far happier than the angry and tortured souls that have been painted for us by stereotypes. From other sources, we also know teenage crime, drug abuse and premarital sex are in general decline. We, of course, need to pay attention to youngsters who are filled with discontent and hostility, but we should not allow these extreme cases to distort our view of most young people.41. K)It is fine and healthy for teens to cultivate their personal interests, and it is good news when young people enjoy harmonious relations with their family and friends. But there is also a place in a young life for noble purposes that include a dedication to the broader society, a love of country and an aspiration to make their own leadership contributions.42. A) It turns out today's teenagers aren't so scary after all. Results of USA WEEKEND's Teens & Parents survey reveal a generation of young people who get along well with their parents and approve of the way they're being raised. They think of their parents with affection and respect. They speak with Mom or Dad when they have a problem. Most feel that their parents understand them, and they believe their family is the No.1 priority in their parents' lives. Many even think their parents are cool! Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, rarely is it anything more alarming than a diary or off-color （低俗的）book or CD.43. L)In the past, the young have eagerly participated in national service and civic affairs, often with lots of energy and idealism. If this is not happening today, we should ask why. Our society needs the full participation of its younger citizens if it is to continue to thrive. We know the promise is there—this is a well-grounded, talented, warm-hearted group of youngsters. We have everything to gain by encouraging them to explore the world beyond their immediate experience and to prepare themselves for their turn at shaping that world.44. E)Contrary to some stereotypes, most adolescents believe they must be tolerant of differences among individuals (though they do not always find this easy in the cliquish （拉帮结派的）environment of high school). Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. One prevalent quality we have found in teens' statements about themselves, their friends and their families is a strikingly positive emotional tone. By and large, these are very nice kids, and as the band The Who used to sing, “The kids are alright.”45. H)Recently, we examined more than 400 essays on the “laws of life” that teens from two communities had written as part of an educational program initiated by the John Templeton Foundation in Radnor, Pa. In those essays, and in follow-up interviews with a few of the teenagers, we found lots of insight, positive feeling and inspirational thinking. But we also found little interest in civic life beyond the tight circles of their family and immediate friends.Passage One46. C) Specify in what way their products are green.47.

星火英语版12月大学英语六级参考答案【星火英语版】12月大学英语六级参考答案作者：星火英语四六级12月六级参考答案六级听力一Conversation OneM: And now, for the latter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste.W: That’s right, John. This week, the Italian government passed legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food waste in the country. New laws have been put into place that will make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate and sell foods to those who are in need.M: Yes, in an addition to this, businesses will now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste.W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, the European parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste.M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations.W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United Sates, up to 40% of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government.M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a spokesperson from Harvard University’s Food Law and Policy Clinic for more on the story. And now, let’s welcome professor Edward Baker to speak to us.1: What does the woman say about the new laws in Italy?2: What did the European parliament do to reduce food waste?3: What has the French government done recently?4: What is the major cause of food waste in the United States?Conversation TwoM: Thank you for calling the South Avenue Department Store. How can I be assistant to you today?W: Hello. I was in your store this past weekend and bought a few items. Yesterday, my friend told me that the annual anniversary sales had begun. It turned out she bought the same sweater as I did but for a much lower price.M: Yes. Our annual anniversary sales started on Monday. We do offer price adjustments for seven days of purchase to ensure our customers’ satisfaction. You said you did the purchase here this past weekend?W: Yes. I was shopping in your store last Sunday afternoon.M: That would definitely fall within the price adjustment window. Do you have an account with us? We can credit your account directly with the difference if you wish. Otherwise, we can send a gift card by mail if you prefer.W: Crediting my account will be wonderful. Thank you. Now, you’ve mentioned that there is a sale going on. I do remember a dress I quietly like when I was in the shop on Sunday. Is it on offer as well.M: Yes, ma’am. All the new arrivals are 15-20% off. In addition to the sale, we are running a promotion for complementary tailoring if neededW: That’s good news. The dress really caught my eye but I did have some concerns about the length. How long will your alteration take?M: Our tailoring department guarantees alteration to be completed within five working days. If you like, I can send a size for you. If you are able to come this afternoon, you can give your name to the sales manager. And they will be able to assist you.5: What do we learn about the Sax Department Store?6: What did the man say about Sax Department Store’s offers?7: What did the woman want the store to do to address the price difference?8:What is the service Sax department store offers in addition to the promotion sale？Passage 1Barbie dolls have a particular look to them. They are thin, tall, long legged and virtually unlike any real human being. Although, over the years, barbies had more than 180 different careers, including football coach, sign language teacher, ambassador, president and astronaut. Her body shape hasn’t changed much. Last year, MATEL, the company that makes Barbie dolls, added some barbies to its line to have a different skin tones and hair textures. There are now barbies 17 skin tones, 22 eye colours and 24 hair styles that choose from. Last year, MATEL also gave barbie a flat foot rather than 4 fingers to be in heels allthe time like original barbie is. Now, they are introducing new barbies with 3 slightly different body shapes. On the original, tall and thin barbies would continue to be sold. In the statement on its website, the company says, it wants barbies to look more like a real people and to give girls everywhere, infinitely more ways that spark their imagination and play out the stories. Although many people say the new barbies are stepping in the right direction. Some people say they don’t go far enough. They say the new Barbie shapes could be even more different from the original tall-thin barbies. Sales of Barbie dolls has been falling every years since according to CBC news. The toys aren’t in stores yet, but they will be sold online at the Barbie website starting this week for 9 dollars and 99 cents.9. What do we know about the original Barbie dolls?10. Why do some people feel unsatisfied with new Barbie dolls?11. Where will the new Barbie dolls be sold first?Passage 2The earliest printed book we known today appeared in China in the year 868, and metal type was used in Korea at the beginning of the fifteen century, but it was in Germany around the year 1415, that the printing press used in movable metal type was invented. Capitalism turned printing from an invention into an industry , right from the start, book printing in publishing were organized on capitalist lines, the biggest sixteen century printer 一个人名had 24 printing prices and employed more than a hundred workers, only a small faction of the population was literate, but production of books grow as an extraordinary speed. By 500 hundred some 20 million volumes had already been printed, the immediate factors printing was to increase the circulation of works that were already popular in the hand-written form, while less popular works went out of circulation. Publishers were interested only in books thatwere sold very quickly in sufficient numbers to cover the costs of production and make profit.Thus, while printing enormously increased access to books by making cheap, high volume production possible, it also reduces choice. The great culture impact of printing was facilitated the growth of national languages, most early books were printed in Latin, but the mark for Latin was limited, and it is pursuit of large markets, the book trade soon produced translation into the national languages, and merging at that time.Printing indeed played the key role in standardizing and stabilizing this languages by fixing them print and producing dictionaries and grammar books.12. What happened in Germany around the 1415？13. What does the speaker say about the printer 人名？14. What is the immediate affect of the printing?15. What was the great culture impact the printing?Recording OneYou dream about being a movie star. You live in a big house in Hollywood, go to the Oscars every year, and win. You will be rich and famous. Wait a minute. You also hate having your photos taken and you are very shy. So how could you ever become a movie star? Choosing a right career can be hard. Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what they want to do with their lives and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine. But others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate. Your working life lasts in average 40 years, so it’s important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about.Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this. The Australian website WWW. Careers online. com, compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. The site suggests you should do the same with your career. Find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best. If you are not a romantic person, you won’t want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. Finally, decide how to get movie tickets and find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work and how to get a job in that profession.So, how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions, certain life experiences. Have you travelled overseas? Do you have any extra certificates at your degree? Such as the first aid license, for example. Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats will probably never become an animal doctor. Flight attendants, firefighters and police officers have to be over a certain height and be physically fit. Your personality matters too. Are you outgoing or shy? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of team work might not suit you.Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought. However, when you know you can look forward to working in your dream job, you will be glad you thought it through.16. What does the speaker say about many college graduates?17. What does the Australia website suggest you do first to find a suitable job?18. What should you think about when you look for the right job according to the Australian website?Recording 2Kwanzaa is a cultural festival, during which African-American celebrate and reflect upon their rich heritage as the products of the two worlds. Itbegins December 26th and last for seven days. Kwanzaa was founded in 1966 by Dr. Karenga, a college professor and African-American leader, who believed that a special holiday could help African Americans meet their goals of building strong families, learning about their history and creating a sense of unity. After conducting extensive research in which he studied the festivals of many African groups of people, he decided that the new holiday should be a harvest or first fruit’s celebration. In cooperating ideas from many different harvest traditions. Kwanzaa isa … word meaning the first fruits of the harves t. The east African language of … was chosen as an official language of Kwanzaa. Because it is a non-tribal language spoken by a large portion of the African population. Also its pronunciation is easy. Kwanzaa is based on seven principles which are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. One principal is highlighted each day of the holiday. In preparation for the celebration, a astroy matters placed on the table. Along with the candle holder was seven candles. One black, three red and three green. The black candle represents the African-American people. The red is for their struggles, and the green represents their hopes for their future. Other items placed on our table are a variety of fruit is of comes gifts and communal unity cup for pouring and sharing drinks. Each day of Kwanzaa usually before the evening meal，family and friends gather around the table and someone lights the candle beginning with the black. After that，candles are lit alternatively from left to right. While the candles is being lit, a principal is recited then each person present takes turn to speak about the importance that the principle has to himself or herself. Next, the ceremony focuses on remembering those who've died. A selected person pours water or juice from the unity cup into a bowl. That person then drinks from the cup and raises it highsaying “her thanmbi”，which means that let’s all pour together. All repeat “her thanmbi” seven times and each person drinks from the cup . Then they and names of African American leaders and heroes a cold out to and everyone reflects upon the great things these people did. The ceremony is followed by a meal, and then singing and perhaps listening to African music19.What does the speaker say about Kwanzaa?20. For what purpose did Doctor Karenga create the special holiday?21. What does the word Kwanzaa mean?22. What do people do while each candle is being let at the Kwanzaa celebration?Recording 3The Mediterranean diet is based upon the eating patterns of traditional cultures in the Mediterranean region. Several noted nutritionists in research projects have concluded that this diet is one of the most healthful in the world in terms of preventing such illnesses as heart disease and cancer and increasing life expectancy. The countries that have inspired Mediterranean diet all surround the Mediterranean Sea. These cultures have eating habits that developed over thousands of years. In Europe, parts of Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain and southern France adhere to principles of the Mediterranean diet as to the morocco, Indonesia, and North Africa. Parts of the Balkan region and turkey follow the diet as well as middle eastern countries like Lebanon and Syria, the Mediterranean region is warm and sunny and produces large supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables almost a year round that the people eat many times a day. Wine, bread, all of oil and nuts are other staples of the region. In the Mediterranean sea has historically yielded abundant quantities of fish. International interest in therapeutic qualities of Mediterranean diet began back in the late nineteen fifties. When medical researchers started to link the currency of heart disease with diet, Doctor Ansol Keths performed the epidemiological analysis of diets around the world. In titled of the seven countries study, it is considered one of the greatest studies of its kind ever performed. In it, Keths gathered data on heart disease in its potential causes from nearly thirty thousand men in Greece, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Japan, Finland, theNetherlands and the United States. The study was conducted over period of decades. It concluded that the Mediterranean people in the study enjoyed some significant health advantages. The Mediterranean groups have lower mortality rates in all age brackets in form of all causes particularly from heart disease. The study also showed that the Mediterranean diet is as high as or higher in fat than other diets, obtaining up to forty percent of all its calories from fat. It has however, different patterns of fat intake. Mediterranean cooking, in its smaller amounts of saturated fat and higher amount of unsaturated fat, mostly in form of all of oil. Saturated fats are fats are found principally in meat and dairy products, although some nuts in vegetable oils also contain them.
