2013.12六级真题部分答案

作文部分范文一：Happiness – Go for itIn this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow: disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems. We need to muster our courage and confidence to face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.范文二：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay c ommenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.How to Live a Meaning LifeAmong all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlas t it.” I cannot agree any more.If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m i nterested in and also helpful to others or the wholesociety. Only in this way can I keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfil my life.范文三：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay about the impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionAs a famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.听力部分26. Legislation 27.

• 参考译文A good marketing way in urban China is to charge more for public consumption. That s because Chinese customers have different priorities than American yuppie counterparts. Many Chinese are not coffee drinkers, but if the environment is good and the coffee is not bad, they ll come back. The store layout, artwork and food options make Starbucks friendlier to Chinese eyes, though coffee remains the core offering. People don t go there for coffee， but to present themselves as modern Chinese in a public setting.

大学英语六级考试真题与答案

2013年12月大学英语六级真题Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios:It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring amore-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far.Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing.Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations.47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________.48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________.49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution.50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to set up a system for stories to __________.51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?" situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid __________.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 OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and the reality? There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatenedby an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers – meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of Americanhigh-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (财政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits. The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected – say, low-skilled workers, or California residents – the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Everyone has a different definition to the true meaning of happiness. For Franklin Roosevelt, “happiness is not themere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” For Elbert Einstein, “if you want to live in a happy life, tie it to the goal, not the people or the things.” Al though the two great men grant different definitions to happiness, there is something in common, that is, happiness derives from the capacity to solve problems. I believe that this is true.There is no denying that life is full of problems. Let’s take en vironmental pollution for example. Pollution poses a great threat to our existence. Fortunately, this public hazard has drawn our greatly attention and many effective measures are being taking to solve it. In fact, now the public are benefiting more and more from pollution prevention and control. We can enjoy clear air, health food and beautiful scenes again.

AModern Technology and Human IntimacyWith the advancement of technology, some believe that people have become more intimate. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. The popularity of cell phones and Internet makes it possible to contact friends or relatives both at home and abroad. What’s more, it is more convenient to pay a visit to someone due to the constant improvement in vehicles. However, there are people with the opposite view. From their viewpoint, modern technology has not narrowed the gap. On the contrary, it helps widen the gap. An important reason is that calls, on-line chats, or short messages lack emotional clue, and they can never replace face-to-face communication. However, with the popularity of modern technology, more and more people tend to ignore real communication, and become addicted to the isolated virtual world. In my opinion, technology does not play a decisive role. It is our attitudes that count. If we value friends and relatives, we should get close to them in person. Otherwise, they will feel emotionally distant.Part ⅡListening Comprehension Section A1. W: There is a direct flight at 10 o’clock or a flight at 2 this afternoon that stops over in San Francisco.M: I think I’d rather have the earlier one, so I can go to work tomorrow.Q: What relationship do these people have?2.

We shouldn’t have driven down the main street, not when it’s so crowded.W: Well, I told you, dear, didn’t I? I said the roads would be very busy, especially on Saturday.Q: Where did the conversation take place?4. M: Louis, do you want me to try to fix that broken camera of yours?W: Thanks, but I already had it taken care of.Q: What happened to the camera?5. M: When can I make the earliest appointment with Dr. Johnson?W: Dr. Johnson has appointments on Monday and Tuesday mornings, Thursday and Friday afternoons, and he has a conference the whole day Wednesday.Q: When can the man meet Dr. Johnson the earliest?6. M: Have you made up your mind?W: Yes, I’ll give up biology and switch to archeology, where my interest lies.Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?7. M: I’ve just recovered from a severe stroke. Would you kindly turn your TV down a bit?W: Sorry. I didn’t know that.Q: What will the woman do?8. W: I’m exhausted.

What are your strong points?M: As I mentioned, I can work well under pressure and I enjoy the work that challenges me.W: And your weaknesses?M: I think I sometimes try to be over-organized.

May I ask why you now wish to do so?M: I think my Japanese and English speaking ability can be very useful to a foreign company. W: Why are you interested in our company, in particular?M: Well, I know that your company is planning to expand in Japan and the rest of Asia. So, I think it’s an exciting time for you and I think I could play a small part in helping you grow. As I said, I’m very self-motivated and want to feel I’m making a contribution to my company.W: Mr. Suzuki, thank you again for coming in, and we’ll be in touch with you in the next few days.M: Thank you.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. Why does Suzuki want to leave the trading company?10. What’s one of Suzuki’s weaknesses?11. What is the result of the job interview?Conversation twoM: I’ve nearly ready for Christmas now. I’ve sent off all my Christmas cards except one and Ibought all my presents apart from yours. Have you sent out the invitations to our party yet?W: Not yet, I’ll send them tomorrow; just look at the list again to make sure we haven’t forgottenanyone.M: We are inviting just about everybody in the neighborhood except for Mr. Jones and his wife. It seems a bit rude, but to tell the truth, I can’t stand that woman.W: Well, she is so ill-mannered. Last time she came here, she left without saying a word and apart from that she tells such lies about us. She never stops running us down to neighbours.M: Let’s settle it then, we won’t invite them. By the way, I met Pet O’Dow last night, he told me he’d be leaving for Ireland next week. He said he was sorry he would miss our party, but he might see us at the Rushton’s New Year party.W: What a pity, he is so lively at the party. Oh, I saw some gorgeous Christmas trees on sale on the High Street, but I didn’t have time to ask how much they were.M: I’m sure they are much too expensive.W: Well, we’ve got to have a tree, if you don’t want to buy one, you’ll have to go out and dig one up. Oh, we need a few gifts for the tree, apart from the Holy and mistletoe, that’s about everything.M: It’s the same every year. You end up everything you want and I end up with a headache fromworrying about the balance of my bank account.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What has the man just done for Christmas?13. Why didn’t they invite Mrs. Jones and her husband?14. According to the man, where would they meet Pet O’Dow?15. What’s the man most likely to be concerned about?Section B Passage OneIn the United States, many people once lived in large, two and three stories homes. Today, many people would like to live in such houses but most people can’t. They don’t have enough money tobuy them or even to make the first payment. So, many people rent from month to month. But some Americans really want to live in a house of their own. So they build their own home or they buy a house that is situated in an area where houses are cheaper. It is better to reside in a badpart of town, they think, than not to live in a house at all. Or they buy an old house and redesign it. Then they decorate it with old style furniture. Sometimes they can make an old house look more beautiful than a new one. Usually, it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. Many older people decide that they don’t need a big home after their children leave, so they sell their house and move into a comfortable apartment. But when people move into a house, they sometimes have problems. Home owners have to do their own maintenance. For example, if theroof leaks, one can’t ask the landlord to fix it. On the other hand, people can redesign theirhomes in any way they want without having to be afraid of being thrown out by the landlord. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. Why don’t many Americans live in large two-and-three-story houses?17. Why is it easy to find old houses for sale?18. What problem will people have after they buy a house?Passage TwoLions prefer to eat without having to do much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky. And if they see birds fly down, they immediately sense that something must be happening. Even in the heat of the day, they will certainly rise and run across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dead animal for themselves. A grown lion can easily consume 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often, they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down. The female lions are leaner and swifter, and as a result, are better hunters than the males. Most kills are made at night or just beforedawn. The kill is the most exciting moment in the day-to-day existence of the lions, since thesegreat beasts spend most of their time—about 20 hours a day—sleeping and resting. Lions are also social cats. And during these times of leisure, they love to romp against each other, and the young lions are always playing among themselves and with their parents.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What do we learn about lions from what we have just heard?20. Why do the lions watch the birds in the sky?21. Why are the females generally better hunters than the males?Passage ThreeTo be successful in a job interview, you should demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. You need to create a good image in the limited time available, usually from 30 to 45 minutes. You must make a positive impression which the interviewer will remember when he interviews other candidates. The following are some qualities you should especially pay attention to during an interview. First of all, you should take care to appear to be properly dressed. The right clothes worn at the right time can win the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgment. It may not be true that clothes make a man. But the first and often last impression of you is determined by the clothes you wear. Secondly, you should pay close attention to your manner of speaking. Since speech is a reflection of personality, you should reflect confidence by speaking in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard, without being aggressive or overpowering. You should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about therequirements of the position you are applying for. Finally, to be really impressive, you mustconvey a sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm for work. If you display these characteristics, with just a little luck, you’ll certainly succeed in the typical personnel interview.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. How long does an interview usually last according to the speaker?23. How can one give the interviewer a good first impression?24. What should be the best manner of speaking for a job-seeker during an interview?25. What is the main idea of the short talk you have just heard?Section CThe Chinese government has agreed proposals to restrict the growth of college enrollment so as to improve teaching conditions and ease graduate (26) employment pressures. On May 10,2006,an (27)executive meeting of the State Council presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao heard that higher education institutions saw student numbers hit 23 million last year, the highest in the world. Last year, colleges and universities (28)enrolled 5.04 million students,4.7 times morethan in 1998.However,they still faced problems of out-dated teaching methods,(29)insufficientfunding and a surplus number of graduates looking for jobs. State councilors agreed that it was necessary to control the increase of enrollment so that (30) adequate funds could be allocated, teaching conditions improved, subjects and majors (31)adjusted, and skills training reformed among other measures. The scale of enrollment should be fixed in (32) accordance with local conditions and controlled at a stable level, while education of high school graduates and occupational training should be (33) strengthened. In addition, occupational and adult education needs to be boosted to ensure more (34) access to higher education. The councilors also required strict regulation of the management of universities and prohibitions of excessive fees in higher education. China will face serious difficulties during the next two quarters with 60 percent of new graduates facing unemployment, according to a report published by the National Development and Reform Commission. The number of graduates will increase by 22 percent over the previous year of 4.13 million while the job market can only （35）soak up 1.66 million, down 22 percent over the previous year. The level of surplus labor this year will reach 14 million, around one million more than last year, the report said.Model test two Part ⅡListening ComprehensionSection A1.

According to the woman, why is she unable to meet the man at 7 o’clock this evening?14. What will the man and the woman do after dinner?15. Why did the man insist their seeing the film that night?Section B Passage OneFlexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s, but reached Britain in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are: firstly, that all workers must be present for certain “key” times in the day, and secondly, that all workers must work the agreed total number of hours per week. The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to be able to finish a certain taskbefore leaving. From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increase productivity,reduce labor turnover first. “Flexible time” was mainly confined to white collar workers, but it now being applied to manual workers too.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What people firstly used flexible working hours?17. Which one of the following may be best used to describe the flexible system?18. What’s one of the main advantages of “flextime”for workers?Passage TwoOur environment is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-ma de materials. What can explain and solvethis problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make increasing industrialization our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so pollutionhas become a serious problem. Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going andwhy? It reminds one of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over theloudspeaker: “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don’t know where we’re going.”The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Why can’t man prevent the world from being polluted?20. According to the passage, what does man value among the following?21. What does the story about the pilot indicate?Passage ThreeAs a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part-time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement service has put together a listing of what is available locally. For some students, these part-time jobs could lead to the full-time work after graduation, as they may offer experience in their own field, be that finance, marketing or even management. For example, national savings bank offers work on a half time basis. That’s 20hours per week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours. Even less time is expected of those providing child care. We have a number of families registered with uswho are looking for baby-sitters for as few as four hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there’re seasonal positions right on campus, working with the gardening and landscapingteams. These often require the most time and they are the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find somethingthat interests you, we’ll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselorswill give you hints about a successful interviewing.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What’s the purpose of the talk?23. What should students bring with them to the office?24. What will the counselors at the office help students do?25. What do the jobs have in common?Section CFor most of us, success and the ability to control our own fate （26）are linked to our ability to lead. Leadership, in fact, is something that (27)concerns everyone. A leader does not necessarily occupy a formal leadership position, for example, as the assistant secretary of state or the chief (28)executive officer. Very often people with leadership titles are not necessarily leaders. Parents, spouses, teammates, (29)colleagues, friends, classmates or playmates can all be leaders if they so desire. A teacher can also be as a leader as he or she is a friend. In fact, most of us spend a great deal of time trying to get other people to do willingly what we want them to do, and that, in the (30)purest sense of the term, is what leadership is all about. Of course, we can force people to do things for a short period of time, but that is not leadership. A true leader is apt to (31) persuade and influence other people to accept his ideas, and to follow him and to take action. So what is the (32)essence of leadership? Basically, what is required of a true leader? It is communication. Without communication, leadership does not exist. It is impossible to getsomeone to do something without verbal or nonverbal communication. We rely on communication to manage and (33) motivate. We use communication to resolve conflict and facilitate innovation as well as to negotiate. We may expect our leader to be frank, direct, and （34）to the point. We may also expect that our ideal leader listens, is willing to talk and is open to discussion and constructive suggestions. And we expect our ideal leaders to be receptive to new ideas and to be （35）supportive. But, in most social interactions and economic activities, an ideal and recognized leader invariably emerges as the most competent communicator.Model Test 3Part ⅡListening ComprehensionSection A1. W: The officer said that I was speeding at the time he saw me.M: Well, you know there are signs posted along the highway.Q: Where was the woman driving when the officer saw her?2. M: I was very much upset when the nurse told me the doctor had been called out.W: Well, I understand he had to attend an emergency at the hospital.Q: How did the man react to the nurse’s information?3.

M: I do all my shopping at the supermarket even though it is farther away.W: Well, I prefer the personal service in the smaller shops, though I do know that the prices are a bit higher.Q: Where does the man usually do his shopping?5. W: Do you think that the possibility of cold weather and snow will affect the results of the game?M: Well, the Steelers are accustomed to playing in the bad weather, so it shouldn’t make any difference to them.Q: How does the man’s feelings compared with those of the woman?6. M: I was so angered when the cab driver tried to overcharge me that I called the policeman. W: That kind of thing seems to be happening quite frequently. I think you did the right thing. Q: Why was the man annoyed?7. W: I just bought this fake fur coat at a sale. I paid only ＄240 for it. How do you like it?M: It’s very nice, but my wife bought the same thing for half the price.Q: How much did the man’s wife pay for her coat?8. W: I was going to run in the Park Marathon. Then I read the forecast of heavy snow, and I decided not to go.M: It’s a good thing you didn’t. I ran there, and I almost froze to death.Q: What had the woman decided not to do?Now you’ll hear two long conversations．Conversation OneM: How was your weekend?W: It was awful.M: Awful? Really? But I thought you were supposed to be going on a trip. Did it get cancelled? W: No, unfortunately, it wouldn’t been better off if it had.M: What do you mean?W: Well, five of us were supposed to go to Chicago in Lisa’s car.M: Yeah?W: And we were going to stay at Sue’s parents’ house, which is in Chicago.M: Right?W: So it’s about a four hour trip, and we were going to get there on Friday evening, spend Saturday sight-seeing, and come back last night so we could go to classes this morning.M: OK. That sounds like a good plan. So what went wrong?W: What didn’t go wrong? First of all, we were all crammed into Lisa’s tiny car with all four bags. M: Sounds pretty uncomfortable.W: Hold on. I’m just getting started. Remember how hot it was this weekend.M: Yeah. It was so bad I had to get out of the library. I ended up going to the beach both days. W: Well, we were stuck in Lisa’s car Friday afternoon and the air conditioner wasn’t working. M: Why didn’t you open the windows?W: We did, but the breezes blowing in weren’t exactly cool.M: I’l l bet you were glad to get to Chicago.W: That’s the worst part. We never made it. May started feeling sick from all the heat, so Lisatried driving faster to find Mary something to drink. To make a long story short, the car broke down and we were stranded till this morning in some small town near the Indiana border.M: Couldn’t Sue’s parents come pick you up?W: They were out of town.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just head.9. What was the purpose of the woman’s trip?。

大学英语六级考试真题与答案

2013年12月大学英语六级真题Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios:It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand whatshe's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far.Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations.47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________.48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________.49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution.50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to set up a system for stories to __________.51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?" situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid __________.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 OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still othersemphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient. To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers –meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Nativelow-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (财政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected – say, low-skilled workers, or California residents –the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate ourperceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

• To avoid such consequences, effective measures should be taken in advance. On one hand, old narrow highways should be broadened and new broad ones should be built. On the other hand, the number of cars imported or produced should be controlled and if possible, new cars which do not produce any pollution should be developed.
• Part ⅣTranslation • In the process of job-hunting, you do have hope if being offered an interview. Whether you can succeed mainly depends on how the interviewers assess your behavior during the interview. Thus, it’s necessary to treat the interview as a performance or a match aiming at selling yourself and making the interviewers feel you are the best. Most of the interviewees are in a passive position during the interview, and they try their best to answer any question. A better method is to control the situation by offering the interviewers the information you want to give them rather than what they want from you; you have to make them feel you are the fittest.
