This is important. we’ ll have to tackle the problems of the exporting step by step. And the first move is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now.M: Why don’t we just concentrate on expending here at home?W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But you must admit the market here is limited.M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feel we can compete with the best of them.M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge high prices.W: Exactly.M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off.W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not?M: There will be a lot of problems.W: Nothing we can’t handle.M: Um… I’m not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with the feasibility study.W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you be on my side.9. What does the woman intend to do?10. Why does the man think it’s safe to focus on the home market?11. What is the man’s concern about selling bikes abroad?12. What do the speakers agree to do?Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.13.A) Coal burnt daily for the comfort of our homes.B) Anything that can be used to produce power.C) Fuel refined from oil extracted from underground.D) Electricity that keeps all kinds of machines running.14.A) Oil will soon be replaced by alternative energy sources.B) Oil reserves in the world will be exhausted in a decade.C) Oil consumption has given rise to many global problems.D) Oil production will begin to decline worldwide by 2025.15.A) Minimize the use of fossil fuels. B) Start developing alternative fuels.C) Find the real cause for global warming. D) Take steps to reduce the greenhouse effect. Conversation 2W: What does the term “alternative energy source”mean?M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a much faster rate that it is being produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’ll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?15. What does the man think we should do now?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

2015年6月大学英语六级考试真题（第一套）Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.I'll admit I've never quite understood the obsession（难以破除的成见）surrounding genetically modified (GM) crops. To environmentalist opponents, GM foods are simply evil, an understudied, possibly harmful tool used by big agricultural businesses to control global seed markets and crush local farmers. They argue that GM foods have never delivered on their supposed promise, that money spent on GM crops would be better channeled to organic farming and that consumers should be protected with warning labels on any products that contain genetically modified ingredients. To supporters, GM crops are a key part of the effort to sustainably provide food to meet a growing global population. But more than that, supporters see the GM opposition of many environmentalists as fundamentally anti-science, no different than those who question the basics of man-made climate change.For both sides, GM foods seem to act as a symbol: you're pro-agricultural business or anti-science. But science is exactly what we need more of when it comes to GM foods, which is why I was happy to see Nature devote a special series of articles to the GM food controversy. The conclusion: while GM crops haven't yet realized their initial promise and have been dominated by agricultural businesses, there is reason to continue to use and develop them to help meet the enormous challenge of sustainably feeding a growing planet.That doesn't mean GM crops are perfect, or a one-size-fits-all solution to global agriculture problems. But anything that can increase farming efficiency 一the amount of crops we can produce per acre of land一will be extremely useful. GM crops can and almost certainly will be part of that suite of tools' but so will traditional plant breeding, improved soil and crop management一and perhaps most important of all, better storage and transport infrastructure（基础设施）, especially in the developing world. (It doesn't do much good for farmers in places like sub-Saharan Africa to produce more food if they can't get it to hungry consumers.)I'd like to see more non-industry research done on GM crops—not just because we'd worry less about bias, but also because seed companies like Monsanto and Pioneer shouldn't be the only entities working to harness genetic modification. I'd like to see GM research on less commercial crops, like com. I don't think it's vital to label GM ingredients in food, but I also wouldn't be against it一and industry would be smart to go along with labeling, just as a way of removing fears about the technology.Most of all, though, I wish a tenth of the energy that's spent endlessly debating GM crops was focused on those more pressing challenges for global agriculture. There are much bigger battles to fight.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

For questions 8-10 complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Supersize SurpriseAsk anyone why there is an obesity epidemic and they will tell you that it's all down to eating too much and burning too few calories. That explanation appeals to common sense and has dominated efforts to get to the root of the obesity epidemic and reverse it. Yet obesity researchers are increasingly dissatisfied with it. Many now believe that something else must have changed in our environment to precipitate (促成) such dramatic rises in obesity over the past 40 years or so. Nobody is saying that the "big two"--reduced physical activity and increased availability of food--are not important contributors to the epidemic, but they cannot explain it all.Earlier this year a review paper by 20 obesity experts set out the 7 most plausible alternative explanations for the epidemic. Here they are.1. Not enough sleepIt is widely believed that sleep is for the brain, not the body. Could a shortage of shut-eye also be helping to make us fat?Several large-scale studies suggest there may be a link. People who sleep less than 7 hours a night tend to have a higher body mass index than people who sleep more, according to data gathered by the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Similarly, the US Nurses' Health Study, which tracked 68,000 women for 16 years, found that those who slept an average of 5 hours a night gained more weight during the study period than women who slept 6 hours, who in turn gained more than those who slept 7.It's well known that obesity impairs sleep, so perhaps people get fat first and sleep less afterwards. But the nurses' study suggests that it can work in the other direction too: sleep loss may precipitate weight gain.Although getting figures is difficult, it appears that we really are sleeping less. In 1960 people in the US slept an average of 8.5 hours per night. A 2002 poll by the National Sleep Foundation suggests that the average has fallen to under 7 hours, and the decline is mirrored by the increase in obesity.2. Climate controlWe humans, like all warm-blooded animals, can keep our core body temperatures pretty much constant regardless of what's going on in the world around us. We do this by altering our metabolic (新陈代谢) rate, shivering or sweating. Keeping warm and staying cool take energy unless we are in the "thermo-neutral zone", which is increasingly where we choose to live and work.There is no denying that ambient temperatures (环境法度) have change in the past few decades. Between 1970 and 2000, the average British home warmed from a chilly 13℃to 18℃. In the US, the changes have been at the other end of the thermometer as the proportion of homes with air conditioning rose from 23% to 47% between 1978 and 1997. In the southern states--where obesity rates tend to be highest--the number of houses with air conditioning has shot up to 70% from 37% in 1978.Could air conditioning in summer and heating in winter really make a difference to our weight? Sadly, there is some evidence that it does--at least with regard to heating. Studies show that in comfortable temperatures weuse less energy.3. Less smokingBad news: smokers really do tend to be thinner than the rest of us, and quitting really does pack on the pounds, though no one is sure why. It probably has something to do with the fact that nicotine (尼古本) is an appetite suppressant and appears to up your metabolic rate.Katherine Flegal and colleagues at the US National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, Maryland, have calculated that people kicking the habit have been responsible for a small but significant portion of the US epidemic of fatness. From data collected around 1991 by the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, they worked out that people who had quit in the previous decade were much more likely to be overweight than smokers and people who had never smoked. Among men, for example, nearly half of quitters were overweight compared with 37% of non-smokers and only 28% of smokers.4. Genetic effectsYour chances of becoming fat may be set, at least in part, before you were even born. Children of obese mothers are much more likely to become obese themselves later in life. Offspring of mice fed a high-fat diet during pregnancy are much more likely to become fat than the offspring of identical mice fed a normal diet. Intriguingly, the effect persists for two or three generations. Grand-children of mice fed a high-fat diet grow up fat even if their own mother is fed normally--so your fate may have been sealed even before you were conceived.5. A little older...Some groups of people just happen to be fatter than others. Surveys carried out by the US National Center for Health Statistics found that adults aged 40 to 79 were around three times as likely to be obese as younger people. Non-white females also tend to fall at the fatter end of the spectrum: Mexican-American women are 30% more likely than white women to be obsess, and black women have twice the risk.In the US, these groups account for an increasing percentage of the population. Between 1970 and 2000 the US population aged 35 to 44 grew by 43%. The proportion of Hispanic-Americans also grew, from under 5% to 12.5% of the population, while the proportion of black Americans increased from 11% to 12.3%. These changes may account in part for the increased prevalence of obesity.6. Mature mumsMothers around the world are getting older. In the UK, the mean age for having a first child is 27.3, compared with 23.7 in 1970. Mean age at first birth in the US has also increased, rising from 21.4 in 1970 to 24.9 in 2000.This would be neither here nor there if it weren't for the observation that having an older mother seems to be an independent risk factor for obesity. Results from the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's study found that the odds of a child being obese increase about 14% for every five extra years of their mother's age, though why this should be so is not entirely clear.Michael Symonds at the University of Nottingham, UK, found that first-born children have more fat than younger ones. As family size decreases, firstborns account for a greater share of the population. In 1964, British women gave birth to an average of 2.95 children; by 2005 that figure had fallen to 1.79. In the US in 1976, 9.6% of woman in their 40s had only one child; in 2004 it was 17.4%. This combination of older mothers and more single children could be contributing to the obesity epidemic.7. Like marrying likeJust as people pair off according to looks, so they do for size. Lean people are more likely to marry lean and fat more likely to marry fat. On its own, like marrying like cannot account for any increase in obesity. But combined with others-- particularly the fact that obesity is partly genetic, and that heavier people have more children--it amplifies the increase from other causes.1. What is the passage mainly about?[A] Effects of obesity on people's health.[B] The link between lifestyle and obesity.[C] New explanations for the obesity epidemic.[D] Possible ways to combat the obesity epidemic.2. In the US Nurses' Health Study, women who slept an average of 7 hours a night ______ .[A] gained the least weight[B] were inclined to eat less[C] found their vigor enhanced[D] were less susceptible to illness3. The popular belief about obesity is that ______ .[A] it makes us sleepy[B] it causes sleep loss[C] it increases our appetite[D] it results from lack of sleep4. How does indoor heating affect our life?[A] It makes us stay indoors more.[B] It accelerates our metabolic rate.[C] It makes us feel more energetic.[D] It contributes to our weight gain.5. What does the author say about the effect of nicotine on smokers?[A] It threatens their health.[B] It heightens their spirits.[C] It suppresses their appetite.[D] It slows down their metabolism.6. Who are most likely to be overweight according to Katherine Flegal's study?[A] Heavy smokers.[B] Passive smokers.[C] Those who never smoked.[D] Those who quit smoking.7. According to the US National Center for Health Statistics, the increased obesity in the US is a result of ______ .[A] the growing number of smokers among young people[B] the rising proportion of minorities in its population[C] the increasing consumption of high-calorie foods[D] the improving living standards of the poor people8. According to the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, the reason why older mothers' children tend to be obese remains ______ .9. According to Michael Symonds, one factor contributing to the obesity epidemic is decrease of ______ .10.

Since their first (36) on American roadways, automobiles have become a (37) of progress, a source of thousands of jobs, and an almost inalienable right for citizens' personal freedom of movement. In recent (38) our "love affair" with the car is being (39) directly to the developing world and it is increasingly (40) that this transfer is leading to disaster.America's almost complete dependence on automobiles has been a terrible mistake. As late as the 1950s, a large (41) of the American public used mass transit. A (42) of public policy decisions and corporate scheming saw to it that countless (43) and efficient urban streetcar and intra-city rail systems were dismantled (拆除). (44) . Our lives have been planned along a road grid--homes far from work, shopping far from everything, with ugly stretches of concrete and blacktop in between.Developing countries are copying Western-style transportation systems down to the last detail. (45) . Pollution-control measures are either not strict or nonexistent, leading to choking clouds of smog. Gasoline still contains lead, which is extremely poisonous to humans. (46) . In addition to pollution and traffic jams, auto safety is a critical issue in developing nations.Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)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.One of the major producers of athletic footwear, with 2002 sales of over $10 billion, is a company called Nike, with corporate headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. Forbes magazine identified Nike's president, Philip Knight, as the 53rd-richest man in the world in 2004. But Nike has not always been a large multimillion-dollar organization. In fact, Knight started the company by selling shoes from the back of his car at track meets.In the late 1950s Philip Knight was a middle-distance runner on the University of Oregon track team, coached by Bill Bowerman. One of the top track coaches in the U.S., Bowerman was also known for experimenting with the design of running shoes in an attempt to make them lighter and more shock-absorbent. After attending Oregon, Knight moved on to do graduate work at Stanford University; his MBA thesis was on marketing athletic shoes. Once he received his degree, Knight traveled to Japan to contact the Onitsuka Tiger Company, a manufacturer of athletic shoes. Knight convinced the company's officials of the potential for its product in the U.S. In 1963 he received his first shipment of Tiger shoes, 200 pairs in total.In 1964, Knight and Bowerman contributed $500 each to form Blue Ribbon Sports, the predecessor of Nike. In the first few years, Knight distributed shoes out of his car at local track meets. The first employees hired by Knight were former college athletes. The company did not have the money to hire "experts", and there was no established athletic footwear industry in North America from which to recruit those knowledgeable in the field. In its early years the organization operated in an unconventional manner that characterized its innovative and entrepreneurial approach to the industry. Communication was informal; people discussed ideas and issues in the hallways, on a run, or over a beer. There was little task differentiation. There were no job descriptions, rigid reporting systems, or detailed rules and regulations. The team spirit and shared values of the athletes on Bowerman's teams carried over and provided the basis for the collegial style of management that characterized the early years of Nikes.47. While serving as a track coach, Bowerman tried to design running shoes that were ____________ .48. During his visit to Japan, Knight convinced the officials of the Onitsuka Tiger Company that its product would have ____________ .49. Blue Ribbon Sports was unable to hire experts due to the absence of ____________ in North America.50. In the early years of Nike, communication within the company was usually carded out ____________ .51. What qualities of Bowerman's teams formed the basis of Nike's early management style?____________ .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 letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneSustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives.To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localised. In terms of energy use and the nutrients (营养成分) captured in the product it was relatively inefficient.Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialise and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safer and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat (栖息地) loss and to diminishing biodiversity.What's more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it willrequire an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050. Yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions.All this means that agriculture in the 21st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th. This will require radical thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be "zero impact". The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage.Instead we need a more dynamic interpretation, one that looks at the pros and cons (两方面) of all the various ways land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity.What is crucial is recognising that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production.52. How do people often measure progress in agriculture?[A] By its productivity.[B] By its sustainability.[C] By its impact on the environment.[D] By its contribution to economic growth.53. Specialisation and the effort to increase yields have resulted in ______ .[A] localised pollution[B] the shrinking of farmland[C] competition from overseas[D] the decrease of biodiversity54. What does the author think of traditional farming practices?[A] They have remained the same over the centuries.[B] They have not kept pace with population growth.[C] They are not necessarily sustainable.[D] They are environmentally friendly.55. What will agriculture be like in the 21st century?[A] It will go through radical changes.[B] It will supply more animal products.[C] It will abandon traditional farming practices.[D] It will cause zero damage to the environment.56. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?[A] To remind people of the need of sustainable development.[B] To suggest ways of ensuring sustainable food production.[C] To advance new criteria for measuring farming progress.[D] To .urge people to rethink what sustainable agriculture is.Passage TwoThe percentage of immigrants (including those unlawfully present) in the United States has been creeping upward for years. At 12.6 percent, it is now higher than at any point since the mid-1920s.We are not about to go back to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America's bloodstream. But once again we are wondering whether we have too many of the wrong sort of newcomers. Their loudest critics argue that the new wave of immigrants cannot, and indeed do not want to, fit in as previous generations did.We now know that these racist views were wrong. In time, Italians, Romanians and members of other so-called inferior races became exemplary Americans and contributed greatly, in ways too numerous to detail, to the building of this magnificent nation. There is no reason why these new immigrants should not have the same success.Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents, UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don't continue. Indeed, the fourth generation is marginally worse off than the third. James Jackson, of the University of Michigan, has found a similar trend among black Caribbean immigrants. Telles fears that Mexican-Americans may be fated to follow in the footsteps of American blacks--that large parts of the community may become mired (陷入) in a seemingly permanent state of poverty and underachievement. Like African- Americans, Mexican-Americans are increasingly relegated to (降入) segregated, substandard schools, and their dropout rate is the highest for any ethnic group in the country.We have learned much about the foolish idea of excluding people on the presumption of ethnic/racial inferiority. But what we have not yet learned is how to make the process of Americanization work for all. I am not talking about requiring people to learn English or to adopt American ways; those things happen pretty much on their own. But as arguments about immigration heat up the campaign trail, we also ought to ask some broader questions about assimilation, about how to ensure that people, once outsiders, don't forever remain marginalized within these shores.That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers, or how best to secure the border, and it is one that affects not only newcomers but groups that have been here for generations. It will have more impact on our future than where we decide to set the admissions bar for the latest wave of would-be Americans. And it would be nice if we finally got the answer right.57. How were immigrants viewed by U.S. Congress in early days?[A] They were of inferior races.[B] They were a source of political corruption.[C] They were a threat to the nation's security.[D] They were part of the nation's bloodstream.58. What does the author think of the new immigrants?[A] They will be a dynamic workforce in the U.S.[B] They can do just as well as their predecessors.[C] They will be very disappointed on the new land.[D] They may find it hard to fit into the mainstream.59. What does Edward Telles' research say about Mexican-Americans?[A] They may slowly improve from generation to generation.[B] They will do better in terms of educational attainment.[C] They will melt into the African-American community.[D] They may forever remain poor and underachieving.60. What should be done to help the new immigrants?[A] Rid them of their inferiority complex.[B] Urge them to adopt American customs.[C] Prevent them from being marginalized.[D] Teach them standard American English.61. According to the author, the burning issue concerning immigration is ______ .[A] how to deal with people entering the U.S. without documents[B] how to help immigrants to better fit into American society[C] how to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border。

What do we learn from the end of the conversationConversation TwoW: Good morning,High Mountain Savings and Loan.

What did the woman do to persuade the man to deposit in her bank Section BPassage OneKaren Smith is a buyer for a department store in New York. Department store buyers purchase the goods that their stores sell. They not only have to know what is fashionable at the moment,but also have to guess what will become fashionable next season or next year. Most buyers work for just one department in a store. But the goods that Karen finds may be displayed and sold in several different sections of the store. Her job involves buying handicrafts from all over the world. Last year, she made a trip to Morocco and returned with rocks, pots, dishes and pans. The year before, she visited Mexico,and bought back handmade table cloths,mirrors with frames of tin and paper flowers. The paper flowers were bright and colorful,so they were used to decorate the whole store. This year Karen is travelling in Malaysia,Thailand and Indonesia. Many of the countries that Karen visits have government offices that promote handicrafts. The officials are glad to cooperate with her by showing her the products that are available. Karen especially likes to visit markets in small towns and villages whenever she can arrange for it. She is always looking for interesting and unusual items. Karen thinks she has the best job she could have found. She loves all the travelling that she has to do,because she often visits markets and small out-of-the-way places. She sees much more of the country she visits than an ordinary tourist would. As soon as she gets back to New York from one trip,Karen begins to plan another.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What is said to make a good department store buyer17. What does Karen's job involve18. Why does Karen think she has got the best jobPassage TwoVaukin de Silva is a Brazilian who lives and works in New York. Brazil's most important product is coffee and coffee is Vaukin's business. He works for an international coffee institute. It represents Brazil and several other countries that export coffee. The institute wants more people to drink more coffee. That hasn't been easy to do for the last few months. A period of freezing weather destroyed a large part of Brazil's coffee crop. As a result, there has been a shortage of coffee throughout the world. The shortage has caused prices to go very high. Many people are talking about giving up coffee until the prices come down again. All the countries that are represented in the institute want people to continue drinking coffee. They spend a lot of time explaining the recent rise in price to newspaper reporters. They want the public to understand the reason for the shortage. Among the goal,Vaukin was put in charge of an advertising campaign. The campaign will try to encourage people to keep on drinking coffee. Sometimes, Vaukin misses the beaches and tropical weather in Rio de Janeiro,but he likes the life in New York. He is young, only 27 years old,and he is a good-looking bachelor. There are a lot of women to meet in New York and a lot of places to go with them. When he misses home,there are several Brazilian restaurants where he can go and speak Portuguese,his native language. The last few weeks,however, he's been too busy to think about anything except coffee prices and his advertising campaign.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the passage say about the international coffee institute20. What cause the recent shortage of coffee throughout the world21. What do we learn about Vaukin de Silva22. What has occupied Vaukin's mind for the last few weeksPassage ThreeLast summer, my wife and I had saved for a year to be able to take a romantic cruise to several Caribbean islands. Because the train was scheduled to arrive in Miami, Floridaseveral hours before the sailing,we didn't think we'd have any reason to worry about getting to the dock on time. We should've known that long distance trains are often many hours late. We should've taken an earlier one to allow extra time. We should have, but we didn't and we missed the boat. Because there wouldn't to be a refund of our cruise fare,if we returned home,we had to pay for a hotel room and meals in the city and an air fare to fly to the first island on the shipped route two days later. We missed half the cruise. This year, we decided to let an experienced travel agent do our vacation planning for us. We had to pay the full price in advance for an escorted tour. We should be joining that relaxing well-planned trip right now. How could we have known there would be a strike against our airline And why hadn't anyone advised us that the travel agency can't refund your money unless the tour operator can get the passengers钬fees back from the reserved hotels,the tour boat's company and so onTo avoid trouble like this,we ought to get more travel experience.Butto tell you the truth,we don't want to go anywhere. We钬檙e planning to spend our vacations at home for a long time to come.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. Why did the couple fail to get to the cruise in time24. What does the speaker say about their trip this year25. What will the speaker do in the future for a vacationSection CNow listen to the passage.Why would an animal kill itself It seems a strange question,and yet it is one that has puzzled some people for a long time. The lemming is one such animal. Lemmings periodically commit mass suicide,and no one knows just why!The small creatures,which inhabit the Scandinavian mountains,sustain themselves on a diet of roots and live in nests they make underground. When their food supply is sufficiently large,the lemmings live a normal,undisturbed life.However, when the lemmings' good supply becomes too low to support the population,a singular migration commences. The lemmings leave their nests all together at the same time,forming huge crowds. Great numbers of the lemmings begin a long and hard journey across the Scandinavian plains,a journey that may last weeks. The lemmings eat everything in theirpath,continuing their destructive march until they reach the sea.The reason for what follows remains a mystery for zoologists and naturalists. Upon reaching the coast,the lemmings do not stop but swim by the thousands into the surf. Most float on water only a short time before they tire, sink, and drown.A common theory for this unusual phenomenon is that the lemmings do not realize that the ocean is such a huge body of water. In their cross-country journey,the animals must traverse many smaller bodies of water,such as rivers and small lakes. They may assume that the sea is just another such swimmable obstacle. But no final answer has been found to the mystery.。

But alternative fuels can be many things, wind, sun andwater can all be used to create fuel.W: Is the threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. We are using what is available at a much faster rate than it has been produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the amounts of petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025 the amount of petroleum we use will reach a peak then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point, but it will become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: There're two very clear reasons to do so. One is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually, so the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped in the ground for a long time, which leads to some long term negative effects like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?A. Coal burnt daily for the comfort of our homes.B. Anything that can be used to produce power.C. Fuel refined from oil extracted from underground.D. Electricity that keeps all kinds of machines running.14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?A. Oil will soon be replaced by alternative energy sources.B. Oil reserves in the world will be exhausted in a decade.C. Oil consumption has given rise to many global problems.D. Oil production will begin to decline worldwide by 2015.15. What does the man think we should do now?A. Minimize the use of fossil fuels.B. Start developing alternative fuels.C. Find the real cause for global warming.D. Take steps to reduce the greenhouse effect.2015年6月英语六级真题听力原文：试卷一短文一（沪江网校版）Karen Smith is a buyer for a department store in New York.

Longer work hours, threats of layoffs, collapse in pension funds. A study last year in the Lancered examined more than 11,000 heart attack sufferers from 52 countries. It found that in the year before their heart attacks, patients have been under significantly more stress than some 13,000 healthy control subjects. Those stresses came from work, family, financial trouble, depression and other causes. Each of these factors individually was associated with increased risk, says Dr. Salim Yosef, professor of medicine at Canada’s McMaster University, and seniorinvestigator on the study. Together they accounted for 30% of overall heart attack risk, but people respond differently to high pressure work situations. Whether it produces heart problems seems to depend on whether you have a sense of control over life, or live at the mercy of circumstances and superiors. That was the experience of Jano Cano, a roughed Illinois laboratory manager, who suffered his first heart attack in 1996 at the age of 56. In the two years before, his mother and two of his children had suffered serious illnesses, and his job had been changed in a reorganization. “My life seemed completely out of control,” he says, “I had no idea where I would end up.” He ended up in hospital due to a block in his artery. Two months later, he had a triple bypass surgery. A second heart attack when he was 58 left his doctor shaking his head. “There’s nothing more we can do for you,” doctors told him.23. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Childhood and family growth.B. Pressure and disease.C. Family life and health.D. Stress and depression.24. What do we learn about Jano Cano’s family?A. It experienced a series of misfortunes.B. It was in the process of reorganization.C. His mother died of a sudden heart attack.D. His wife left him because of his bad temper.25. What did Jano Cano’s doctors tell him when he had a second heart attack?A. They would give him a triple bypass surgery.B. They could remove the block in his artery.C. They could do nothing to help him.D. They would try hard to save his life.答案2015年6月英语六级听力答案：试卷一短对话（沪江网校版）1. C. Attend the concert.2. D. None of the passengers were injured or killed.3. A.

Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has 37 many of the mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were. For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising 38 .Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more39 society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was40 on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land werenot rendered 41,but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has 42 ,but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers. Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its 43.Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology’s44 will feel like a tornado(旋风),hitting the rich world first,but45 sweeping through poorer countries too. No government is prepared for it.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
