A nswer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Ban sugary drinks that will add fuel to the obesity war[A] On a train last Thursday, I sat opposite a man who was so fat he filled more than one seat. He w as pale and disfigured and looked sick to death, which he probably was: obesity(肥胖的)leads to many na sty ways of dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him, including a couple o f fatty children with swollen checks pressing against their eyes. These people are part of what is without exaggeration an epidemic(流行病)of obesity.[B] But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea- far from new- that could spare millions of such people a lifetime of chronic(长期的)ill health, and at the same time save the National Health Service(NHS) at least ￡14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think, be considerable public interest in it. This simple idea is that sugar is as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoided. It i s pure, white and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a revolutionary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us.[C] In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar leads to addiction (瘾), to hormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic(新陈代谢的)malfunctions and obesity and from there to type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and its many horrible complication. If people really grasped that, they would t ry to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is the “fat man of Europe”. They might even feel driven to support government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadly stuff. Yet so far this idea h as met little but resistance.[D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(既得利益集团)lined up against any sugar control- al l the food and drink manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers who make such easy pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, with whom I would normally side, who protest that government regulation would be yet another instance of interference in our lives.[E]That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a welfare state without a nanny state(保姆国家), to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through socia lized medicine, then we are all closely involved in one another’s health, including everyone’s eating and drinking. That has already been admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with overe ating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and that number is predicted to double by the year 2050.Quite apart from anything else, obesity will cripple the NHS.[F]Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishment is trying to sound the alarm. L ast month the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges(AMRC)published a report saying that obesity is the gr eatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something.[G]The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposing a tax of 20 percent on sugary drinks for at least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be an e xcellent start. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifying, and turn straight to fat. As Professor T erence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, sugary soft drinks are “the ultimate bad food. You are j ust consuming neat sugar. Your body didn’t evolve to handle this kind of thing.”[H]Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different)pale into insignificant com pared with the harm done by sugar. And it is everywhere.[I]It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or vegetables, that doesn’t have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailing scientific vie ws of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fat as the really serious ris k, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.[J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not very appetizi ng, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrups(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into most prepared foods and soft d rinks.[K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body’s metabolism, possibly via t he activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There’s plenty of evidence for this, for those who will acc ept the truth.[L]Theoretically, people ought to make “healthy choices”and avoid overeating. But sugar additives are n ot easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes peop le fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is being done to them. It shoul d be stopped, or rather the government should stop it.[M]Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all the pois ons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. T hey are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.[N]Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more government regulation. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and bann ing vending machines(自动售货机)here and there —as suggested try the AMRC report —is not going t o achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks.[O]In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the food ind ustry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However, nothing has happened yet. Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.46、Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as well as save medical expenses.47、Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks.48、Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to child abuse.59、Looking around, the author found obesity quite widespread.50、The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades.51、If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods and drinks, they would support government measures against sugar consumption.52、It would be a very good beginning wo improve an additional tax on sugary drinks.53、The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumption although it indicated its i ntention to do so some time ago.54、Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt.55、Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot tell what food is sugary.Section CDirections：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinish ed statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centr e.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, compar able in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other inst antly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous im pacts has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transfor mations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,”Schmidt a nd Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lac k Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one m ajor shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more imp ortantly predicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one p hysical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.”By using this concep t as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and h is co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and da ngers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal p rivacy and state surveillance(监视).56、In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegra ph?A.It transforms human history.B.It facilitates daily communication.C.It is adopted by all humanity.D.It revolutionizes people's thinking.57、How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?A.They are immeasurable.B.They are worldwide.C.They are unpredictable.D.They are contaminating.58、In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A.It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B.It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C.It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D.It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.59、What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A.People will be living in two different realities.B.People will have equal access to information.C.People don’t have to travel to see the world.D.People don’t have to communicate face to face.60、What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A.They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.C.They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D.They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the a uto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments o n an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present for the p ast. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of t he 1960s,more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty l evel, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 42 states, a ho memaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protecti on against family violence.Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent less t han their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them fro m buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working –class families.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go ba ck to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families.The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. Accordingto a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close as the o ne in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age.61、What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950?A.They had less job security than they do today.B.It was not too difficult for them to buy a house.C.Their earnings were worth twice as much as today.D.They were better off than workers in other industries.62、What does the author about retired people today?A.They invariably long to return to the golden past.B.They do not depend so much on social welfare.C.They feel more secure economically than in the past.D.They are usually unwilling to live with their children.63、Why couldn’t black workers buy a house in a whitc suburban neighborhood ?A.They lacked the means of transportation.B.They were subjected to racial inequality.C.They were afraid to break the law.D.They were too poor to afford it.64、What is the result of no-fault divorce ?A.Divorce is easier to obtain.B.Domestic violence is lessened.C.It causes little pain to either side.D.It contributes to social unrest.65 、What does the author suggest society do?A.Get prepared to face any new challenges.B.Try to better the current social security.C.Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.D.Improve the lives of families with problemsPart IV TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.翻译题一：大熊猫是一种温顺的动物，长着独特的黑白皮毛。

2014年12月大学英语六级真题及详解(第二套)【圣才出品】
2014年12月大学英语六级真题及详解（第二套）Part I Writing(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write an essay based on the picture below.You should start your essay with a brief description of thepicture and then discuss whether there is a shortcut to learning.Youshould give sound arguments to support your views and write at least150words but no more than200words.“‘How To Do Well in School WithoutStudying’is over there in the fiction section.”【审题构思】本题要求讨论学习是否存在捷径。
从图片上可以看到，一位图书管理员对来借书的学生说到：“不学习就能学习好”这本书在那边放小说的书架上。
在这里考生必须理解“小说”的深层次含义，即“虚构的，幻想的”，也就是说关于学习的捷径这种想法根本就不存在。
写作时，考生首先必须把图片上隐含的这层意思表达清楚，从而提出自己的观点，学习没有捷径。
【参考范文】There is No Shortcut to Learning(1)In the cartoon,the student wants to borrow a book named How To Do Well In School Without Studying and then the librarian answers(2)ironically that the book is in the fiction section.The word“fiction”means something unreal,and the librarian is trying to warn the student that(3)there is no such thing as shortcut to learning.For this point,I cannot agree with the librarian more.(4)For one thing,learning is to understand the knowledge and to acquire the skills to solve the related problems.Only when you really spend time on learning, can you really master the knowledge.Some students may think that they can learn something or finish their study tasks(5)by so-called“shortcut”,like plagiarism or learning by rote,but the fact is that the knowledge is not really grasped by them and they still don’t know how to solve the problem next time.(6)For another, knowledge that one possesses is accumulated step by step and to learn more complicated things usually need a solid foundation of other knowledge.Thus,if you want to learn something by shortcut,then in the future,you will meet problems to obtain advanced knowledge and you will(7)wind up in failure to make progress.(8)To sum up,If you really want to perform well in school and really want to learn something,there exists no shortcut.Success in study needs your diligence.【行文点评】(1)通过分析图片中隐含的信息，指出学习没有捷径。

They may choose to live in a wooden house. They say these kinds of houses are easy to build and warm in winter. Others like to live in houses of the future. They may live in a house which gets its energy from the sun.A few other people like to live in houses that have characteristics特征of both the past and future. These people may live in a house under the ground. Many people think underground houses are cold and dark, but that is not true.

People in the past lived in underground houses and underground cities in China, Japan and Canada. Some countries also build underground factories and store-houses(仓库)to hold things.In the United States, more people are beginning to build underground houses since they save open land for parks, gardens and sport fields. Underground houses also save energy. They use only a little energy to stay warm or cool.Owners of these houses like them. John Bonard is an architect (建筑师) who built an underground house in New York.

You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.（分数：106.50）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(范文（一）：The Most Impressive Friends in My College In my memory, there are so many unforgettable men who have rendered me assistance。
Among them, the most impressive one is Lucy, my roommate. During the freshman year with her, it has exerted considerable influence on me. First and foremost, when I entered the university, Lucy set good examples to me in terms of independence. She adapts the new environment quickly. Moreover, she has a cheerful personality, and participates in the Students’ Union soon . With her advice, I soon follow her step and join more activities. Last but not least, what I have learnt most from her is the self-study ability. She spends much time in reading and mastering a new language in the library and often recommend me useful books and information. In a word, I really appreciate it for her modeling power. I wish I can be excellent like her and have a great friendship with Lucy . 范文（二）： The Most Impressive Classmate in My College Without question, Lisa is the person who has influenced my college life most. She is my classmate, who always leaves a deep impression on you by demonstrating her passion for life and the spirit of never yielding, even in the face of extreme challenges. She is the most courageous person I have ever known. During my college years, it is Lisa that kept teaching me how to live through setbacks in the life journey. I’ll never forget that when I failed in my English examination and I felt overwhelmed, Lisa taught me that failure teaches success, everyone had to persevere and face up to innumerable setbacks, as long as I face my problems bravely, I would create my own wonderful life .

As an Alaskan fisherman. Timothy June, 54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants（污染物）at his home in Haines-atown with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles, with 8 million acres of protected wild land nearby. But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a 36 of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people’s blood and urine（尿）were tested for 37 of chemicals-in this case, three potentially dangerous classes of compounds found in common household 38 like face cream, tin cans, and shower curtains. The results- 39 in November in a report called“Is It in Us?”by an environmental group-were rather worrying. Every one of the participants, 40 from an Illinois state senator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of pollutants. And while the 41 presence of these chemicals does not 42 indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all 43 June and his fellow participants. Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don’t 44 there. Ongoing study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages. And in 2005, the Environmental Working Group found an 45 of 200 chemicals in the blood of 10 new-borns. “Our babies are being born pre-polluted,” Says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored“Is It in Us?” “This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change.” A)analyses B)average C)belong D)demonstrated E)excess F)extending G)habitually H)neccessarily I)products J)ranging K)released L)shocked M)simple N)survey O)traces （分数：35.50）A.B.C.D. √E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N. √O.解析：A.B.C.D.E. √F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O. √解析：A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I. √J.

People in their 30s and 40s can't afford to buy homes or have children. Retirees are earning near-zero interest on their savings. [B] In the current listless (缺乏活力的) economy, every generation has a claim to having been most injured. But the Labor Department's latest jobs snapshot and other recent data reports present a strong case for crowning baby boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的人) as the greatest victims of the recession and its dreadful consequences. [C] These Americans in their 50s and early 60s —those near retirement age who do not yet have access to Medicare and Social Security — have lost the most earnings power of any age group, with their household incomes 10 percent below what they made when the recovery began three years ago, according to Sentier Research, a data analysis company. Their retirement savings and home values fell sharply at the worst possible time: just before they needed to cash out. They are supporting both aged parents and unemployed young-adult children, earning them the unlucky nickname "Generation Squeeze." [D] New research suggests that they may die sooner, because their health, income security and mental well-being were battered (重创) by recession at a crucial time in their lives. A recent study by economists at Wellesley College found that people who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming qualified for Social Security lost up to three years from their life expectancy (预期寿命), largely because they no longer had access to affordable health care. [E] Unemployment rates for Americans nearing retirement are far lower than those for young people, who are recently out of school, with fewer skills and a shorter workhistory. But once out of a job, older workers have a much harder time finding another one. Over the last year, the average duration of unemployment for older people was 53 weeks, compared with 19 weeks for teenagers, according to the Labor Department's jobs report released on Friday. [F] The lengthy process is partly because older workers are more likely to have been laid off from industries that are downsizing, like manufacturing. Compared with the rest of the population, older people are also more likely to own their own homes and be less mobile than renters, who can move to new job markets. [G] Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range of jobs that offer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions. [H] Displaced boomers also believe they are victims of age discrimination, because employers can easily find a young, energetic worker who will accept lower pay and who can potentially stick around for decades rather than a few years. [I] In a survey by the center of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in six had found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts. Fourteen percent of the re-employed said the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. "I just say to myself: 'Why me? What have I done to deserve this?' " said John Agati, 56, of Norwalk, Conn., whose last full-time job, as a merchandise buyer and product developer, ended four years ago when his employer went out of business. That position paid $90,000, and his rsum lists stints at companies like American Express, Disney and USA Networks. Since being laid off, though, he has worked a series of part-time, low-wage, temporary positions, including selling shoes at Lord & Taylor and making sales calls for a limo company. [J] The last few years have taken a toll not only on his family's finances, but also on his feelings of self-worth. "You just get sad," Mr. Agati said. "I see people getting up in the morning, going out to their careers and going home. I just wish I was doing that. Some people don't like their jobs, or they have problems with their jobs, but at least they're working. I just wish I was in their shoes." He said he cannot afford to go back to school, as many younger people without jobs have done. Even if he could afford it, economists say it is unclear whether older workers like him benefit much from more education. [K] "It just doesn't make sense to offer retraining for people 55 and older," said Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor at the University of Texas in Austin. "Discrimination by age, long-term unemployment, the fact that they're now at the end of the hiring queue, the lack of time horizon just does not make it sensible to invest in them." [L] Many displaced older workers are taking this message to heart and leaving the labor force entirely. The share of older people applying for Social Security early spiked during the recession as people sought whatever income they could find. The penalty they will pay is permanent, as retirees who take benefits at age 62 will receive 30 percent less in each month's check for the rest of their lives than they would if they had waited until full retirement age (66 for those born after 1942).（分数：71.00）(1).Greater mobility puts younger people at an advantage in seeking new jobs. （分数：7.10）A.B.C.D.E.F. √解析：(2).Many of the older workers laid off during the recession had to accept lower pay in their new jobs. （分数：7.10）A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I. √解析：(3).Those who has their jobs shortly before retirement age live a shorter-than-average life. （分数：7.10）A.B.C.D. √解析：(4).Seniors at nursing homes could benefit from the weak job market. （分数：7.10）A.B.C.D.E. √F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O. √解析：(5).Age discrimination in employment makes it pointless retraining older workers. （分数：7.10）A. √B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K. √解析：(6).According to recent reports and data analyses, boomers suffer most from the weak economy. （分数：7.10）A.B. √C.D.解析：(7).Unemployed boomers are at a disadvantage in job-hunting because employers tend to hire younger workers. （分数：7.10）A.B.C.D.E. √解析：(8).People in their fifties and early sixties bear the heaviest family burdens. （分数：7.10）A.B.C. √D.解析：(9).People who take benefits from Social Security before official retirement age will get much less for the rest of their lives. （分数：7.10）A.B. √C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L. √解析：(10).Older workers' choice of jobs can be limited because of disability. （分数：7.10）A.B.C.D.E.F.G. √解析：八、Section C (总题数：2，分数：142.00)Passage 1 New Yorkers, albeit many of them grudgingly, are gradually getting used to more pedaling passengers on those blazing blue Citi Bikes. But what about local bike shops? Is Citi Bike rolling up riders at their expense? At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca, a manager who gave his name as “Ben W.”said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share program. “It’s getting more people on the road, more people learning about the sport and getting involved,” he said. An employee at Danny’s Cycles in Gramercy said Citi Bike is a good option for people to ease into biking in a city famed for its vehicular congestion and aggressive drivers. “They can try out a bike without committing to buying one,” James Ryan said. “It makes a morecomfortable biki ng environment in the city because there are a lot more bikes, too.” Business at Danny’s Cycles has increased as well since the advent of bike-share. “A lot of people come in for bike gear, and we’ve sold a lot of helmets,” he noted. Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikesor Danny’s Cycles. But for Frank’s Bike Shop, a small business that has been at its current Lower East Side location on Grand St. since1976, the bike-share program has been bad news. Owner Frank Arroyo said that his rental business has decreased by 90 percent since the Citi Bikes were rolled out last month. Arroyo’s main rental customers are European tourists, a demographic that has since been drawn away by Citi Bikes. Initially, a bike-share station was site d a few doors away from Frank’s Bike Shop on the corner of Grand and Henry Sts. But a petition to relocate the bike station gathered more than 1,000 signatures. The Citi Bike dock was eventually removed —but only temporarily, according to the Citi Bike Twitter account, for utility construction in the street. “I was grateful, and it was quite an honor to see how many people responded on my behalf,” Arroyo said of the petition effort. “It was really nice to see that people care. But they have flooded the place with them,” he said of the Department of Transportation, which installs the bike racks. Removing one station does little since the area is overloaded with Citi Bike stations, said Arroyo. “If you put it in front of a hotel, customers are going to walk of the hotel and use it,” he said. However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales at his shop. “People have used the bike-share and realized how great it is to bike in the city, then decide that they want something nicer for themselves,” he noted. Christian Farrell of Waterfront Bicycle Shop, on West St. just north of Christopher St., said initially he was concerned about bike-share, though, he admitted, “I was happy to see people on bikes.” Consisting of equal parts tourists and locals, his customers get a better rental deal at his shop because, despite charging only $10for a daily rental, the bike-share program requires cyclists tocheck their bikes in at a bike station every half hour. His store, on the other hand, charges $10 for the first hour, $5 for the second, and $2.50 per hour after that. “Six hours with Waterfront Bicycle Shop will costa customer $25,” he said. “With Citi Bike, a six-hour rental will cost $126 [if the rider doesn’t re-dock his or her bike at a station every half hour]. Our rentals always include a helmet, a basket and a lock.” Several dozen rental bikes were lined up on Weehawken St. last Sunday behind the store. Benny, who was watching over them, said another advantage over the Citi Bikes is tha t Waterfront’s bikes are all in good working order. Farrell’s early concerns were echoed by Andrew Crooks, owner of NYCVelo, at 64 Second Ave. “It seemed like a great idea, but one that would be difficult to implement,” Crooks said of Citi Bike. He said he worried about inexperienced riders’ lack of awareness of biking rules and backlash from non-cyclists. However, he said, it’s still too earlyto tell if his business has been impacted. The actual Citi Bikes themselves have been criticized as “heavy,”“clunky,” even “ugly.” In comparison, Crooks said NYC Velo has bikes that are “lighter, faster and tend to be more comfortable.” Farrell of Waterfront also said his bikes are of “better quality” than the bike-share two-wheelers. While it’s possible bike-share will cause a drop in business in the long run, Crooks allowed that the idea, as a whole, is good for the city. （分数：71.00）(1).What is the author's chief concern about the increasing use of Citi Bikes in New York? （分数：14.20）A.How non-cyclists will respond to it.B.Whether local bike shops will suffer. √C.Whether local bike businesses will oppose it.D.How the safety of bike riders can be ensured.解析：关于纽约的Citi Bikes项目的持续实施，作者主要关心的是什么? 文章第一段开头讲参与Citi Bikes项目的骑行者越来越多，给纽约市民带来的影响，即他们感到越来越习惯。

"The first man managed to get through the dinner successfully, but by the end of the evening he had had a lot to drink, and began to get careless.A guest asked him whether he liked Shakespeare, and he answered confidently, " It’s very pleasant, but I prefer SCOTCH苏格兰威士忌酒."

The following two stories clearly showhow Coolidge enjoyed talking little.When he was vice-president <副总统>, Coolidge had plenty of chances to take part in Washington’s social life, especially many dinner parties. Knowing nothing about the art of conversation, he was not in any way popular among the ladies at the parties.At one party, the hostess tried to help with the problem and placed him next to Alice Roosevelt, daughter of former president. Miss Roosevelt began to chat in her usual attractive manner, but her efforts were far from being able to make the vice-president bee interested. In the end, she said, "I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must feel terrible not being talked to."Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge answered in a low voice, "Well, a man has to eat somewhere."Later, when he was president and again at the dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to a most clever society woman, who seemed to manage to change Coolidge’s life. "Oh, Mr. President,"she said, "You are always so quiet. I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you."The president became angry and then said, "You lose."56. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 〔得分：2分〕A>Calvin Coolidge was once vice-president of the United States.B>Calvin Coolidge was a man of few words.C>Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the United States.D>Calvin Coolidge was a clever society man.57.

Coolidge said that the woman lost her bet because __________. 〔得分：2分〕A>she was not clever enough B>she was angryC>he couldn’t change Coolidge’s life D>she couldn’t get more than two words out of him Passage 3Fish hear sounds, though they have simply no ears outside their bodies. However, fish do have ears inside their bodies, near the brain, and they hear very well with them. Some fish have been taught to recognize the difference between sounds better than some human beings do.Many underwater animals make noises only by chance while they are doing something else. Other sounds are real munications of simple sort, telling one fish of the presence and direction of another. A few noises may be warning messages or discovery of food, etc. The earliest scientific report on fish sounds referred to one of these.A new field in science is learning to recognize and use underwater sounds. It depends on the same skill that man has shown in recognizing birds and other land creatures by their calls. But this method is a greater challenge than bird watching, for many of the animals of the sea cannot befollowed in any other known way. Their voices cry for attention. Yet we still have too little knowledge about many of the call makers. Perhaps people will get to know more fully the meaning of the calls and what the call makers are. It seems that the great oceans are for daring man to explore the secrets of the place from which his forefathers<祖先> came so long ago.61. According to the passage, fish hear sounds well with ________. 〔得分：2分〕A>ears outside their bodiesB>brainsC>bodies D>ears inside their bodies62. Which of the following is TRUE of the noises made by underwater animals? 〔得分：2分〕A>None of them is meaningless. B>They are all actual munications.C>They cannot be heard by human beings.

Recognizing underwater animals by their sounds________. 〔得分：2分〕A>is totally different from recognizing land creatures by their callsB>will change people’ s views about fishC>will change people’ s views about land creaturesD>is more difficult than recognizing land creatures by their calls64. The animals of the sea can make voices with different purposes EXCEPT ________.〔得分：2分〕A>telling the direction of some animalB>crying for attentionC>telling the presence of some animal D>crying for scientific report65. From the last sentence, we can learn that _______. 〔得分：2分〕A>the human beings stopped exploring the oceans long agoB>only very brave people can make use of the great oceanC>our forefathers became the masters of the great oceans long agoD>more secrets of the great oceans are to be found outPassage 4Long ago there was no money. It was hard for people to get the things they needed. They couldn’t just go to a store. First they had to find someone who had what they wanted. Then they had to give that person something he or she wanted. That’s how goods were traded.Trading means giving something to get something else. One farmer might have many apples, but no milk. Another farmer might have a lot of milk, but no apples. The first farmer gives the other farmer some apples. The other farmer gives the first farmer some milk for the apples. Then both are glad.Trading goods was hard work. It took a lot of time. Soon someone thought of using money instead of goods. In the old days money could be anything. People have used shells, littlerocks, gold, and silver as money.Later, coins were used as money. The first coins were made of gold and silver. Now they are made out of many different metals. Money today is also made out of something that can be folded. It’s made out of paper. Today most of our money is bills.Most people do some kind of work to get money. With that money, they can buy the things they want and need. This could be food, a car, or a trip. They can also save some. They would do this by putting it in a bank. Then they would have it later on to pay for things like their children’s schooling. Money is very important.66.The passage mainly tells about money’s___. 〔得分：2分〕A>convenienceB>functionC>importance D>history。

They were around long before films. Even Shakespeare may have used them in fight scenes. To be good, a fight scene has to look real. Punches must 26 enemies' jaws. Sword fights must be fought with 27 swords. Several actors are usually in a fight scene. Their moves must be set up so that no one gets hurt. It is almost like planning a dance performance.If a movie scene is dangerous, stunt people usually 28 the stars. You may think you see Tom Cruise running along the top of a train.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passagethrough carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.As an Alaskan fisherman, Timothy June, 54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants (污染物) at his home in Haines—a town with a population of 2, 400 people and 4, 000 eagles, with 8 million acres of protected wild land nearby. But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a 36 of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people's blood and urine (尿) were tested for 37 of chemicals—in this case, three potentially dangerous classes of compounds found in common household 38 like face cream, tin cans, and shower curtains. The results— 39 in November in a report called "Is It in Us?" by an environmental group—were rather worrying. Every one of the participants, 40 from an Illinois state senator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of pollutants. And while the 41 presence of these chemicals does not 42 indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all 43 June and his fellow participants.Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don't 44 there. A large, ongoing study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages. And in 2005,the Environmental Working Group found an 45 of 200 chemicals in the blood of 10 new-borns. "Our babies are being born pre-polluted," says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored "Is It in Us?"Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which theinformation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.In Hard Economy for All Ages, Older Isn't Better... It's BrutalA) Young graduates are in debt, out of work and on their parents’ couches. People in their 30s and 40s can'tafford to buy homes or have children. Retirees are earning near-zero interest on their savings.B) In the current listless (缺乏活力的) economy, every generation has a claim to having been most injured.But the Labor Department's latest jobs reports and other recent data present a strong case for crowning baby boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的人) as the greatest victims of the recession and its dreadful consequences.C) These Americans in their 50s and early 60s—those near retirement age who do not yet have access toMedicare and Social Security—have lost the most earnings power of any age group, with their household incomes 10 percent below what they made when the recovery began three years ago, according to Sentier Research, a data analysis company. Their retirement savings and home values fell sharply at the worst possible time: just before they needed to cash out. They are supporting both aged parents andunemployed young-adult children, earning them the unlucky nickname "Generation Squeeze."D) New research suggests that they may die sooner, because their health, income security and mentalwell-being were battered (重创) by recession at a crucial time in their lives. A recent study by economists at Wellesley College found that people who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming qualified for Social Security lost up to three years from their life expectancy (预期寿命), largely because they no longer had access to affordable health care.E) Unemployment rates for Americans nearing retirement are far lower than those for young people, who arerecently out of school, with fewer skills and a shorter work history. But once out of a job, older workers have a much harder time finding another one. Over the last year, the average duration of unemployment for older people was 53 weeks, compared with 19 weeks for teenagers, according to the LaborDepartment's jobs report released on Friday.F) The lengthy process is partly because older workers are more likely to have been laid off from industriesthat are downsizing, like manufacturing. Compared with the rest of the population, older people are also more likely to own their own homes and be less mobile than renters, who can move to new job markets.G) Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range of jobs thatoffer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions.H) Displaced boomers also believe they are victims of age discrimination, because employers can easily finda young, energetic worker who will accept lower pay and who can potentially stick around for decadesrather than a few years.I) In a survey of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in six had found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts. 14% of the re-employed said the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. "I just say to myself: 'Why me? What have I done to deserve this?'" said John Agati, 56, whose last full-time job, as a product developer, ended four years ago when his employer went out of business. That position paid $90,000, and his resume lists jobs at companies like American Express, Disney and USA Networks. Since being laid off, though, he has worked a series of part-time, low-wage, temporary positions, including selling shoes at Lord & Taylor and making sales calls for a car company.J) The last few years have taken a toll not only on his family's finances, but also on his feelings of self- worth. "You just get sad," Mr. Agati said. "I see people getting up in the morning, going out to their careers and going home. I just wish I was doing that. Some people don't like their jobs, or they have problems withtheir jobs, but at least they're working, I just wish I was in their shoes." He said he cannot afford to go back to school, as many younger people without jobs have done. Even if he could afford it, economists say it is unclear whether older workers like him benefit much from more education.K) "It just doesn't make sense to offer retraining for people 55 and older," said Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor. "Discrimination by age, long-term unemployment, and the fact that they're now at the end of the hiring queue just don't make it sensible to invest in them."L) Many displaced older workers are taking this message to heart and leaving the labor force entirely. The share of older people applying for Social Security early rose quickly during the recession as people sought whatever income they could find. The penalty they will pay is permanent, as retirees who take benefits at age 62 will receive as much as 30% less in each month's check for the rest of their lives than they would if they had waited until full retirement age (66 for those born after 1942).M) Those not yet qualified for Social Security are increasingly applying for another, comparable kind of income support that often goes to people who expect never to work again: disability benefits. More than one in eight people in their late 50s is now on some form of federal disability insurance program, according to Professor Mark Duggan at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.N) The very oldest Americans, of course, were battered by some of the same ill winds that tormented (折磨) those now nearing retirement, but at least the most senior were cushioned by a more readily available social safety net. More important, in a statistical twist, they may have actually benefited from the financial crisis in the most fundamental way: longer lives. O) Death rates for people over 65 have historically fallen during recessions, according to a November 2011 study by economists at theUniversity of California, Davis. Why? The researchers argue that weak job markets push more workers into accepting relatively undesirable work at nursing homes, leading to better care for residents.46. Greater mobility puts younger people at an advantage in seeking new jobs.47. Many of the older workers laid off during the recession had to accept lower pay in their new jobs.48. Those who lose their jobs shortly before retirement age live a shorter-than-average life.49. Seniors at nursing homes could benefit from the weak job market.50. Age discrimination in employment makes it pointless retraining older workers.51. According to recent reports and data analyses, boomers suffer most from the weak economy.52. Unemployed boomers are at a disadvantage in job-hunting because employers tend to hire younger workers.53. People in their fifties and early sixties bear the heaviest family burdens.54. People who take benefits from Social Security before official retirement age will get much less for the rest of their lives.55. Older workers' choice of jobs can be limited because of disability.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 shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a singleline through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Children are a delight. They are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them while you go to work is getting more expensive by the year.Earlier this month, it was reported that the cost of enrolling an infant or small kid at a childcare center rose 3% in 2012, faster than the overall cost of living. There are now large strips of the country where daycare for an infant costs more than a tenth of the average married couple's income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is a somewhat puzzling one. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers make less today, in real terms, than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for up to 80% of a daycare center's expenses, one would expect flat wages to have meant flat prices.So who's to blame for higher childcare costs?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other minute details. And the stricter the regulations, the higher the costs. If it has to hire a caregiver for every two children, it can't really achieve any economies of scale on labor to save money when other expenses go up. In Massachusetts, wherechildcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.Unfortunately, I don't have all the daycare-center regulations handy. But I wouldn't be surprised if as the rules have become more elaborate, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in some cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn't seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.56. What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A) The ever-rising childcare prices.B) The budgeting of family expenses.C) The balance between work and family.D) The selection of a good daycare center.57. What does the author feel puzzled about?A) Why the prices of childcare vary greatly from state to state.B) Why increased childcare prices have not led to better service.C) Why childcare workers' pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs.D) Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.58. What prevents childcare centers from saving money?A) Steady increase in labor costs.B) Strict government regulations.C) Lack of support from the state.D) High administrative expenses.59. Why is the average cost of childcare in Mississippi much lower than in Massachusetts?A) The overall quality of service is not as good.B) Payments for caregivers there are not as high.C) Living expenses there are comparatively low.D) Each teacher is allowed to care for more kids.60. What is the author's view on daycare service?A) Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B) Less elaborate rules about childcare might lower costs.C) It is crucial to strike a balance between quality and costs.D) It is better for different states to learn from each other.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Alex Pang's amusing new book The Distraction Addiction addresses those of us who feel panic without a cellphone or computer. And that, he claims, is pretty much all of us. When we're not online, where we spend four months annually, we're engaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.The Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. It's a thoughtful examination of the dangers of our computing overdose and a historical overview of how technological advances change consciousness.A "professional futurist", Pang urges an approach which he calls "contemplative (沉思的) computing." He asks that you pay full attention to "how your mind and body interact with computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology."Pang's first job is to free you from the common misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is, in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmful effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesn't advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead, he asks you to "take a more ecological (生态的) view of your relationships with technologies and look for ways devices or media may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making your work and life harder."The Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies have changed certain fields of labor—often for the worse. For architects, computer-aided design has become essential but in some ways has cheapened the design process. As one architect puts it, "Architecture is first and foremost about thinking... and drawing is a more productive way of thinking" than computer-aided design. Somewhat less amusing are Pang's solutions for kicking the Internet habit. He recommends the usual behavior-modification approaches, familiar to anyone who has completed a quit-smoking program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download a program like Freedom that locks you out of yourbrowser, or take a "digital Sabbath (安息日)". "Unless you're a reporter or emergency-department doctor, you'll discover that your world doesn't fall apart when you go offline."61. Alex Pang's new book is aimed for readers who __________ .A) find their work online too stressfulB) go online mainly for entertainmentC) are fearful about using the cellphone or computerD) can hardly tear themselves away from the Internet62. What does Alex Pang try to do in his new book?A) Offer advice on how to use the Internet effectively.B) Warn people of the possible dangers of Internet use.C) Predict the trend of future technological development.D) Examine the influence of technology on the human mind.63. What is the common view on multitasking?A) It enables people to work more efficiently.B) It is in a way quite similar to switch-tasking.C) It makes people's work and life even harder.D) It distracts people's attention from useful work.64. What does the author think of computer-aided design?A) It considerably cuts down the cost of building design.B) It somewhat restrains architects' productive thinking.C) It is indispensable in architects’ work process.D) It can free architects from laborious drawing.65. What is Alex Pang's recommendation for Internet users?A) They use the Internet as little as possible.B) They keep a record of their computer use time.C) They exercise self-control over their time online.D) They entertain themselves online on off-days only.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes, to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
