TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on Albert Einstein’s remark “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. “ You can give an example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案:Curiosity Leads to Success “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. “Albert Einstein once said, Simple as the remark may sound, it aims at informing us of the significance of curiosity. Doing everything curiously is conducive to our growth and eventually leads us to success. For one thing, curiosity serves as the premise of creativity, which can be seen as the key to success. Only when one is curious about something will he put his mind on it and generate something creative. Take Edison for example, it was his curiosity that made him invent so many things and achieved great success in his career. For another, curiosity provides us with the drive to go forward. During the process of being curious to something, we can maintain freshness instead of boredom, which will inspire us to learn new knowledge. Last but not least, curiosity helps us resolve difficulties constantly. A person with curiosity is more likely to dig into the essence of the problem and overcome all kinds of difficulties. From what has been discussed above, I would like to end up with the famous educator Herbert Spencer’s words which I can’t agree more, “If the interest and enthusiasm among us are cultivated smoothly in the first place, most people will become talents or geniuses. “Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:W: A clever man hides his virtues within himself.

A“YOUR password has expired (过期),” a message said on my screen, with instructions for chan ging it.

Oh, the whole password can’t be fewer than eight ch aracters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve use d in the past three months.Suddenly I was furious (很生气的).

My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup an d that I was strong enough to do something about it.I made my password Forgive@h3r.I had to type this several times a day. The simple action ch anged the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened and find a new way of dealing with my depress ion. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to happ en. By the time my server asked me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing tha t I had to get done.My password became Quit@smoking4ever.I quit smoking overnight.This password was a painful one to type during that month , but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailan d.Guess where I went three months later: .Seeing how these reminders helped to achieve my goals k ept me motivated and excited. While it’s sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results 21. Which of the following passwords fits the company’s requi rements?A. Seeme@2B. Dream4futureC.

Having already changed t he way we communicate with its smartphones, Apple Inc rele ased its next big thing on March 9 in , .The Apple Watch, according to CNN, is “a simple rectangular (矩形的) shape with a range of stylish and useful wristbands.”“The style is classic... in those respects (方面) it’s up there with the top quality Swiss watches,” comment ed the news outlet.The watch will be available in nine places, including the US , the UK and , from April 24. The starting price is $349 (2,186 yuan).With six different designs and 30 or so wristbands, the gad get “sets the standard for smartwatches, in style,” agreed The Brisbane Times,“but more importantly, in functionality (功能性).”“With the built-in speaker and microphone, you can receive calls on your wat ch. I have been wanting to do this since I was 5 years ol d,” sai d Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook.In fact, anything you can do on the iPhone is there on the w atch – e-mails, text messages, airline boarding services, and directions from Apple Maps. Using a home security app, you can keep an eye on your home from afar, or even open a locked door. There are some features that have made Cook sure the wa tch is “our most personal device yet; a new chapter in the way we relate to technology”. According to NPR, the watch taps y ou on the wrist to draw your attention to a message or a calen dar reminder, and it can send a tap on the wrist to another Ap ple Watch wearer.However, the watch can also do things that are just plain fu n. You can send a real-time display of your heartbeat to another Apple Watch to “let s omeone know you are thinking about them.”Patrick Moorhead, a leading technology analyst in the , des cribed the tech company as “a master in the art of persuasion”.“The secret weapon is the ability to message each other by tapping on the watch,” he told The Associated Press. “I think people, particularly kids, are going to go nuts (疯狂) over that.”So far, though, the most impressive part of this new device is “the monitoring of the wearer’s health and fitness,” said AF P. It will even tap you on the wrist if you have been sitting dow n for longer than is good for your health.25. Which of the following features of the Apple Watch are me ntioned in the article?a. its priceb. its functionsc. its shortcomingsd. its shape and weighte. when and where people can buy itA. abdB. abeC. bceD. bde26.

With an Apple Watch, you can ______.A. monitor your health and diagnose yourselfB. send a real-time display of your heartbeat to an iPhoneC. be reminded to move around if you’ve been sitting down fo r too longD. receive emails, text messages and calls, and open a locke d door for your neighborC• MembershipHostelling International (HI) is a membership organization, an d HI membership gives you much more than a comfy bed!

He decided to take his daugh ter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famo us for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditio ns. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out b y renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too sm all. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had ma de an exception. Larry would never have been able to go dow n without at least five hours of theory and another similar num ber of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children at his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures onl y got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Da ngerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photograp hs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and L arry was determined to visit all of them .Fortuna for him, a ma n offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spo ts afforded such a wide range of fish and sea creatures that L arry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to c ontinue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a succe ssful underwater expedition.32.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A.His daughter had grown up.B.He had become a famous diver.C.His father would dive with him.D.His daughter would dive with him.33.What can be inferred from Paragraph2?rry had some privileges.B.

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When you quit a job, you typically give two weeks’notice. But at KIND Healthy Snacks they do things differently.Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky asks employees, whom he calls“team members,”for at least two months, and in some cases two years' notice.In return, Lubetzky focuses on their professional growth until the day they leave.It may sound extreme, unrealistic even, to ask for two months’ notice—or two years' notice from those who work with him directly—but his reasoning makes perfect sense.“We call the KIND team a‘family’,so major life transitions (转变) like changing jobs aren’t meant to be kept in secret until the last minute. ”Lubetzky tells Business Insider.“No one should be scared to talk about what’s next for t hem.”“I would rather a team member come to me months in advance, letting me know what will be happening in their life,”he says,“whether it is a baby on the way, a relocation for personal reasons, or a plan to go back to school. ”Lubetzky doesn’t expect his employees to accept a job elsewhere and ask the new employer to delay their start date by two months or two years. He simply wants anyone who is exploring new opportunities to be open about it.36. How long in advance does Lubetzky ask his employees to give their job-quitting notice?A) Two weeks. B) One month.C) At least two months. D) More than two years.37. For his employees, Lubetzky cares most about .A) their health conditions B) their further educationC) their retirement pension D) their professional growth38. One of the reasons given by Lubetzky for his job-quitting notice is that .A) he treats his team as a “family”B) he can save a large amount of moneyC) changing jobs is regarded as a life transitionD) the news of changing jobs should be kept in secret39. What does the underlined phrase “a baby on the way”mean?A) A baby is going to be born. B) A baby is growing healthily.C) A baby is going to be adopted. D) A new-born baby is coming home.40. What is the actual purpose of Lubetzky’s requirement of job quitting?A) The employees should be loyal to the company.B) The employees should be open about their leaving.C) The employees may get enough time to search for a new job.D) The employees may save enough money to support their family.Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.

2015年6月大学英语六级考试真题(第一套)Reading comprehension Section A Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药) of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were ___36___ aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has ___37___ many of the mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were. For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising ___38___. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more ___39___ society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was ___40___ on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not rendered ___41___, but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has___42___, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers. Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its ___43___. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology's ___44___ will feel like a tornado (旋风), hitting the rich world first, but ___45___ sweeping through poorer countries too. No government is prepared for it.Section BWhy the Mona Lisa Stands Out[A] Have you ever fallen for a novel and been amazed not to find it on lists of great books? Or walked around a sculpture renowned as a classic, struggling to see what the fuss is about? If so, you‟ve probably pondered the question Cutting asked himself that day: how does a work of art come to be considered great?[B] The intuitive answer is that some works of art are just great: of intrinsically superior quality. The paintings that win prime spots in galleries, get taught in classes and reproduced in books are the ones that have proved their artistic value over time. If you can‟t see they‟re superior, that‟s your problem. It‟s an intimidatingly neat explanation. But some social scientists have been asking awkward questions of it, raising the possibility that artistic canons are little more than fossilised historical accidents.[C] Cutting, a professor at Cornell Univer sity, wondered if a psychological mechanism known as the “mere-exposure effect” played a role in deciding which paintings rise to the top of the cultural league. Cutting designed an experiment to test his hunch. Over a lecture course he regularly showed undergraduates works of impressionism for two seconds at a time. Some of the paintings were canonical, included in art-history books. Others were lesser known but of comparable quality. These were exposed four times as often. Afterwards, the students preferred them to the canonical works, while a control group of students liked the canonical ones best. Cutting‟s students had grown to like those paintings more simply because they had seen them more.[D] Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as to how canons are formed. He points out that the most reproduced works of impressionism today tend to have been bought by five or six wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century. The preferences of these men bestowed prestige on certain works, which made the works more likely to be hung in galleries and printed in anthologies. The fame passed down the years, gaining momentum from mere exposure as it did so. The more people were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more they liked it, the more it appeared in books, on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile, academics and critics created sophisticated justifications for its pre-eminence. After all, it‟s not just the masses who tend to rate what they see more often more highly. As contemporary artists like Warhol and Damien Hirst have grasped, critical acclaim is deeply entwined with publicity. “Scholars”, Cutting argues, “are no different from the public in the effects of mere exposure.”[E] The process described by Cutting evokes a princi ple that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls “cumulative advantage”: once athing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still. A few years ago, Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to study the dynamics of social networks, had a similar experience to Cutting in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the “Mona Lisa” in its climate-controlled bulletproof box at the Louvre, he came away puzzled: why was it considered so superior to the three other Leonardos in the previous chamber, to which nobody seemed to be paying the slightest attention?[F] When Watts looked into the history of “the greatest painting of all time”, he discovered that, for most of its life, the “Mona Lisa” remained in relative obscurity. In the 1850s, Leonardo da Vinci was considered no match for giants of Renaissance art like Titian and Raphael, whose works were worth almost ten times as much as the “Mona Lisa”. It was only in the 20th century that Leonardo‟s portrait of his patron‟s wife rocketed to the number-one spot. W hat propelled it there wasn‟t a scholarly re-evaluation, but a theft.[G] In 1911 a maintenance worker at the Louvre walked out of the museum with the “Mona Lisa” hidden under his smock. Parisians were aghast at the theft of a painting to which, until then, they had paid little attention. When the museum reopened, people queued to see the gap where the “Mona Lisa” had once hung in a way they had never done for the painting itself. From then on, the “Mona Lisa” came to represent Western culture itself.[H] Although many have tried, it does seem improbable that the painting‟s unique status can be attributed entirely to the qua lity of its brushstrokes. It has been said that the subject‟s eyes follow the viewer around the room. But as the painting‟s biogra pher, Donald Sassoon, dryly notes, “In reality the effect can be obtained from any portrait.” Duncan Watts proposes that the “Mona Lisa” is merely an extreme example of a general rule. Paintings, poems and pop songs are buoyed or sunk by random events or preferences that turn into waves of influence, rippling down the generations.[I] “Saying that cultural objects have value,” Brian Eno once wrote, “is like saying that telephones have conversations.” Nea rly all the cultural objects we consume arrive wrapped in inherited opinion; our preferences are always, to some extent, someone else‟s. Visitors to the “Mona Lisa” know they are about to visit the greatest work of art ever and come away appropriately impressed—or let down. An audience at a performance of “Hamlet” know it is regarded as a work of genius, so that is what they mostly see. Watts even calls the pre-eminence of Shakespeare a “historical accident”.[J] Although the rigid high-low distinction fell apart in the 1960s, we still use culture as a badg e of identity. Today‟s fashion for eclecticism—“I love Bach, Abba and Jay Z”—is, Shamus Khan , a Columbia University psychologist, argues, a new way for the middle class to distinguish themselves from what they perceive to be the narrow tastes of those beneath them in the social hierarchy. [K] The intrinsic quality of a work of art is starting to seem like its least important attribute. But perhaps it‟s more significant than our social scientists allow. First of all, a work needs a certain quality to be eligible to be swept to the top of the pile. The “Mona Lisa” may not be a worthy world champion, but it was in the Louvre in the first place, and not by accident. Secondly, some stuff is simply better than other stuff. Read “Hamlet” after reading even the gr eatest of Shakespeare‟scontemporaries, and the difference may strike you as unarguable.[L] A study in the British Journal of Aesthetics suggests that the exposure effect doesn‟t work the same way on everything, a nd points to a different conclusion about how canons are formed. The social scientists are right to say that we should be a little skeptical of greatness, and that we should always look in the next room. Great art and mediocrity can get confused, even by experts. But that‟s why we need to see, and read, as much as we can. The more we‟re exposed to the good and the bad, the better we are at telling the difference. The eclecticists have it.46. According to Duncan Watts, the superiority of the "Mona Lisa" to Leonardo's other works resulted from the cumulative advantage.47. Some social scientists have raised doubts about the intrinsic value of certain works of art.48. It is often random events or preferences that determine the fate of a piece of art.49. In his experiment, Cutting found that his subjects liked lesser known works better than canonical works because of more exposure.50. The author thinks the greatness of an art work still lies in its intrinsic value.51. It is true of critics as well as ordinary people that the popularity of artistic works is closely associated with publicity.52. We need to expose ourselves to more art and literature in order to tell the superior from the inferior.53. A study of the history of the greatest paintings suggests even a great work of art could experience years of neglect.54. Culture is still used as a mark to distinguish one social class from another.55. Opinions about and preferences for cultural objects are often inheritable.Section C Passage OneWhen the right person is holding the right job at the right moment, that person's influence is greatly expanded. That is the position in which Janet Yellen, who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) in January, now finds herself. If you believe, as many do, that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our day, then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now.Throughout the 2008 financial crisis and the recession and recovery that followed, central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort, holding up the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying. Yellen, previously a Fed vice chair, was one of the principal architects of the Fed's $3.8 trillion money dump. A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labor markets, Yeilen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime(次级债)meltdown. Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and most unconventional monetary program in history without derailing the fragile recovery.The good news is that Yellen, 67, is particularly well suited to meet these challenges. She has a keen understanding of financial markets, an appreciation for their imperfections and a strong belief that human suffering was more related to unemployment than anything else.Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation. But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly divided between the well-off and the long-term unemployed' more people worry about the opposite, deflation(通货紧缩)that would aggravate the economy's problems.Either way, the incoming Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly ending the stimulus. It must be steady enough to deflate bubbles(去泡沫)and bring markets back down to earth but not so quick that it creates another credit crisis.Unlike many past Fed leaders, Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry's argument that it should be left alone to regulate itself. She knows all along the Fed has been too slack on regulation of finance.Yellen is likely to address right after she pushes unemployment below 6%, stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive and robust. As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says' "She's smart as a whip, deeply logical, willing to argue but also a good listener. She can persuade without creating hostility." AH those traits will be useful as the global economy's new power player takes on its most annoying problems.56. What do many people think is the biggest problem facing Janet Yellen?A) Lack of money. B) Subprime crisis. C) Unemployment. D) Social instability.57. What did Yellen help the Fed do to tackle the 2008 financial crisis?A) Take effective measures to curb inflation. B) Deflate the bubbles in the American economy.C) Formulate policies to help financial institutions.D) Pour money into the market through asset buying.58. What is a greater concern of the general public?A) Recession. B) Deflation. C) Inequality. D) Income.59. What is Yellen likely to do in her position as the Fed chief?A) Develop a new monetary program. B) Restore public confidence.C) Tighten financial regulation. D) Reform the credit system.60. How does Alan Blinder portray Yellen?A) She possesses strong persuasive power. B) She has confidence in what she is doing.C) She is one of the world's greatest economists. D) She is the most powerful Fed chief in history.Passage TwoAir pollution is deteriorating in many places around the world. The fact that public parks in cities become crowded as soon as the sun shines proves that people long to breathe in green, open spaces. They do not all know what they are seeking but they flock there, nevertheless. And, in these surroundings, they are generally both peaceful and peaceable. It is rare to see people fighting in a garden. Perhaps struggle unfolds first, not at an economic or social level, but over the appropriation of air, essential to life itself. If human beings can breathe and share air, they don't need to struggle with one another.Unfortunately, in our western tradition, neither materialist nor idealist theoreticians give enough consideration to this basiccondition for life. As for politicians, despite proposing curbs on environmental pollution, they have not yet called for it to be made a crime. Wealthy countries are even allowed to pollute if they pay for it.But is our life worth anything other than money? The plant world shows us in silence what faithfulness to life consists of. It also helps us to a new beginning, urging us to care for our breath, not only at a vital but also at a spiritual level. The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is that which exists between ourselves and the plant world. Often described as "the lungs of the planet", the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen. But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit. If we lack the air necessary for a healthy life, it is because we have filled it with chemicals and undercut the ability of plants to regenerate it. As we know, rapid deforestation combined with the massive burning of fossil fuels is an explosive recipe for an irreversible disaster.The fight over the appropriation of resources will lead the entire planet to hell unless humans learn to share life, both with each other and with plants. This task is simultaneously ethical and political because it can be discharged only when each takes it upon herself or himself and only when it is accomplished together with others. The lesson taught by plants is that sharing life expands and enhances the sphere of the living, while dividing life into so-called natural or human resources diminishes it. We must come to view the air, the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the preservation of life and growth, rather than a web of quantifiable objects or productive potentialities at our disposal. Perhaps then we would finally begin to live, rather than being concerned with bare survival.61. What does the author assume might be the primary reason that people would struggle with each other?A) To get their share of clean air. B) To pursue a comfortable life.C) To gain a higher social status. D) To seek economic benefits.62.

Liz Payne.BThe freezin g Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C (维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part — particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold — weather root vegetables —was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfectred strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened (蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particu lar table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal — and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where — luckily for me — I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904—1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and hispowerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’ Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限), “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. Productive.C. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory cons idered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the best TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word "contributions" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Artworks.B. Projects.C. Donations.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on everyThursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. The cu stomers — some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session — care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论), slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels’ or ‘people think’” Lehanne told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”A cafésociety where no int ellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle — longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel.“There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,”says Maurice Frisch, a caféLa Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up”. Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it woul dn’t be France.32. What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subject.B. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They are less frequently visited.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They have bigger night crowds.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Create more jobs.B. Supply better drinks.C. Save the cafe business.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Part One. In the part, there are ten statements. Find their corresponding meanings in the answer box. Mark your answers on your answer sheet. (2’ X 10=20)A fee, as for an attorney‟s services, that is payable only in the event of a successful or satisfactory outcome.Part Two. In the part, 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. (1’ X 10=10)Part Three. Paraphrasing (3’ X 5=15)Directions: Rewrite the underlined part of each sentence in your own words.e.g.: Your BMW dealer will be happy to oblige with as many changes as you care to make, until a cutoff point: six days before your particular car goes into production.Part Four. Sentence Translation (3’ X 5=15)With a few years of global experience under your belt, you‟ll be as well positioned in the company as anyone could possibly be.Part Five. Passage translation (20’ X 1=20)Par t Six. Writing (20’ X 1=20)Topics: internet thinking, crisis management, frivolous litigation, mass customization, career planning, writing a business plan,Unit sixIII. Paraphrasing1. Rewriting: Rewrite the underlined part of each sentence in your own words. 1) To limit litigation risk it is therefore critical for the client to perceive counsel as being not merely a tool to get things done, but as an impersonal and impartial supporter for sound sense and good discretion.2) To the extent that the counsel can persuade the client to take the long view of its business associations, there is a greater prospect that risks can be easily ascertained and prepared for.3) For the most part, however, I would say that most contingency-fee-based lawyers are more biased than is generally perceived to be and are more likely to work for a client only when there is a fairly good chance of victory.4) What the corporate client often fails to appreciate is the lesson that even if a party probably has a feeble or untrue case, it is possible for it to begin a legal action.5) The purpose of this kind of litigation is not just about winning based on the facts presented in evidence but about creating heavy burden of high costs which compels a favorable settlement.IV. Translation 1. Sentence Translation1) 在最糟的情况下,律师被认为是一个惹人讨厌的人,律师和希腊神话中能够预言凶事的卡珊德拉一样能浇灭人们谈生意的一腔热情。

2) 美国的法律制度给律师们披上了角斗士的斗篷,背负巨大压力的律师们只能尽力讨好当事人,这迫使他们尽量避免谈及采取法律行动的缺陷,特别当人们认为诉讼结果至少能在短期内带来巨大经济利益的时候。

3) 我们认识的依据主要来自通俗文学作品中的传闻逸事,在通俗文学作品里,美国人被塑造成好打官司的民族,他们渴望轻松赚钱,胜诉收费的律师为他们提供法律帮助。

4) 当律师评估承揽胜诉收费诉讼业务所隐含的风险时,经验法则认为,辩论内容从事实和法律角度来说比较复杂且赔偿金额有限时,诉讼风险较小;如果辩论内容主要基于事实,诉讼程序简单,当事人必须透露的事实很少,且赔偿金额上不封顶时,诉讼风险就大。

5) 事实上,降低诉讼风险的最好办法是做好准备打一场有充分把握、打赢了会产生实质性威慑作用的官司。

Unit SevenIII. Paraphrasing1. Rewriting: Rewrite the underlined part of each sentence in your own words.1) Your BMW dealer will be happy to do a favor by making as many changes as you like until the point of termination: six days before your particular car goes into production.2) The ability to satisfy capricious customer tastes is just one indicator of a remarkable adaptability that BMW has instilled into a company that sold nearly 1.4 million cars last year, bringing in $65 billion in revenues.3) Toyota…s Lexus is beginning to make an aggression on European m arket where BMW has a dominant position, while BMW…s rival Audi is starting to perform well in the native market and Mercedes once again seems like a competitor which is hard to defeat, now that DaimlerChrysler has agreed to sell off Chrysler to a U.S.private-equity firm.4) Its most impressive characteristic is a conveyor belt that winds its way inside the building just below roof level, carrying a continual succession of cars from the body shop to the paint shop.5) ―BMW…s main weakness is that its life is getting harder, marked by a limited prospect for future development in the market segment of prestige brands and luxury products and its calls for rapid growth in sales volume.1) 公司弃用标准的两班或三班轮换制,像玩杂耍似地弄出大约300种工作时间组合来确定最优化地使用公司的员工团队,其中有些员工是在美国更为常见的“长期合同制临时工”。

2) 十几年来,高昂的劳动力成本、毫无妥协余地的工会规则和人们对繁文缛节的痴迷——更不用提与东德统一所付出的高昂代价——使德国的经济陷入了困境。

3) 历史悠久的——也被人称之为墨守陈规的——劳资关系体系也没有发生实质性变化的迹象,在这个体系中公司监事会有工会的代表。

4) 宝马公司每年不仅和供应商坐在一起讨论具体的节约目标,而且向他们征求可由双方共同推行的可能降低成本的创新点子。

5) 宝马公司也被迫与员工展开艰难的谈判。

从二十世纪八十年代后期开始公司就不再坚持严格死板的德国工作时间。

从那时候起,公司的目标就是把工会制定的工人一周工作时间与工厂运营的时间分离。

Unit EightIII. Paraphrasing1. Rewriting: Rewrite the underlined part of each sentence in your own words.1) Whether it…s exploding televisions, fire-prone appliances, tainted milk or false labeling, in case after case companies have treated their customers unfairly by avoiding responsibility until an increasing amount of evidence obliges them to make a delayed move of revealing the truth and confessing their fault.2) The shame and embarrassment of owning up to product defects in a nation obsessed with craftsmanship and quality raises people…s standards for under what circumstances the truth must be revealed and responsibility must be claimed.3) It is not too late to turn the situation around, but this means removing the restrictions of outdated corporate culture and pleasing customers with a recall and superb after-sales service and care.4) Japan can hardly afford its self-satisfaction about the quality of its products and stagnant productivity especially on the condition that its population might exert some disastrous effects sometime in the future.5) A revived Toyota is good news within expectation that can mean a lot to the damaged national spirit and help restore Japan…s reputation as a super-powerful manufacturer where the attention to detail is a conspicuous characteristic instead of a questionable issue.1) 在日本,产品责任的赔偿数额低的可怜或根本没有赔偿,因此,为这种疏忽付出的代价是很低的。
