历年英语六级作文题目及范文(2003~2011)

2011年12月英语六级作文范文The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought typeThe Way to Success"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comes our question, what is the way to success?A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success.Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be.Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody. Without efforts, no one can succeed.To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success. Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way.【作文解析】本次六级考试作文题为The way to success，与本次四级考试作文Nothing succeeds without a strong will遥相呼应，大同小异，都是在讨论成功这一话题。

In many computers, we can find pirated Microsoft “Windows”software. In many DVD stores, we can see pirated products.Why is there piracy? As far as I know, there are two reasons. To begin with, pirated products are much cheaper than legal ones. T ake “Windows”as an example. The legal “Windows”software costs us thousands of yuan, while a pirated one costs only 5 yuan. What’s more, people don’t realize the harms of buying pirated products. When it comes to the harms of piracy, we can cite a lot. In the first place, producing pirated products is similar to “theft”, which is illegal. In the second place, companies will be unwilling to create good products unless their intellectual property rights are well protected.Serious as the problem seems, we can come up with some measures to deal with it. First of all, the government mustmake stricter laws to prevent people from producing pirated products. Then as consumers, we should be lawful citizens and refrain from buying them. Only through these measures can we hope to solve the problem. (198 words)（评：。

英语六级作文历年真题(优秀5篇)

英语六级作文历年真题（优秀5篇）级英语作文篇一中心句放开端文章中心句是整个文章的主题和写作围绕的中心，通常应该放在段落的开端，这样一方面能够让阅卷老师一眼看出文章表达的主旨意思，起到开门见山的作用；另一方面可以使文章条理层次更加清晰，逻辑性强，文章的整体结构合理。

中心句在作文中可以起到承接上下文的作用，放在段尾也可以起到总结全文的作用。

这一方法对于写作初学者来说还是有一定困难的，因此在六级考试中，为了减少不必要的错误和损失，大家尽量将中心句放到文章的开头以保万无一失。

关键词要具体文章的中心句一般是通过关键词来表现和限制文章的主旨思想的，所以为了突出主题，关键词需要尽量写得具体些。

这里对“具体”的要求主要体现在两个方面：一方面是要具体到能限制和区分文章段落层次的发展；另一方面是要具体到能说明段落发展的方法。

精确仔细地突出关键词是清楚地表达文章主旨、写好段落中心句的重要前提之一，这对考生来说有一定难度。

设问扩充内容中心句及关键词确定后，文章的大概框架已经清晰了，这时候就需要选择和主题有关的信息和素材来填充这个框架。

实质上，针对关键词测试每一个所选择的素材就是一个分类的过程。

有一种常用的行文方法就是句子展开前加以设问，然后解答，即设问-解答(why-because)的方法，利用问题引出自己需要的话题再加以解答表现自己的观点，同时紧紧围绕主题。

所以，要想写出一篇高质量的六级英语作文，就要从中心句、关键词以及设问扩充内容三方面出发，当然还不要忘记词汇量和语法上要有一定的积累，把技巧运用于文章中，你的文章必然会让读者眼前一亮。

希望上述的内容对你备考六级英语作文写作有所帮助。

2005年6月六级作文题及范文题目：say no to pirated products1、目前盗版现象比较严重2、造成这种现象的原因及危害3、我们应该怎么做。

4、要求150字At present,piracy is becoming unprecedentedly visible in China,Any product,like tape,CD and hi-tech device can be copied,not to mention book.Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves,people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores.It has been widely believed that piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers,inventors and authors in many ways.To start with,pirated products often cost much less than the original ones,so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality.The original ones,on the contrary,sell poorly.As far as pirated books are concerned,they do great harm to the authors/ reputation due to their misprints.In the long run,pirated products may also have negative impacts on customers since those legitimate producers' enthusiasm may be greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more inclined to purchase pirated products.In my opinion,it's high time that the government called on everyone to start the battle against piracy.Besides,as customers,we should develop our consciousness to resistpirated products.And law should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further.Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environment for both customers and producers.参考翻译：目前，中国的盗版现象空前的猖狂。

Daughter: You can read all about iton my blog, Dad."Funny as it seems, this conversation can be naturally associated withthe impacts of Internet on our life: In an era of Internet, the time for interpersonal communication is impaired by online chats or blogs.Apparently, the impacts of the Internet on interpersonal communication are diverse. For one thing, as a vital invention, Internet brings great convenience to our communication, eliminates the barrier of distance, and helps humans to keep in touch wherever and whenever. For another, it is Internet that does not enables family members, friends or classmates to communicate more in a face-to-face way. One case in pointis that youngsters may spend hours chatting with acquaintances through QQ or MSN, but rarely do they talk with other face to face. Unfortunately,it we let this trend to continue as it is, the interpersonal relationship will, definitely, become alienated.To my understanding, it is advisable for people to communicatemore with their families, friends and acquaintances in real lifeinstead of merely through the Internet.

Graduating them is another matter.Barry Mills, the president of Bowdoin College, was justifiably proud of Bowdoin's efforts to recruit minority students. Since 2003 the small, elite liberal arts school in Brunswick, Maine, has boosted the proportion of so-called under-represented minority students in entering freshman classes from 8% to 13%. "It is our responsibility to reach out and attract students to come to our kinds of places," he told a NEWSWEEK reporter. But Bowdoin has not done quite as well when it comes to actually graduating minorities. While 9 out of 10 white students routinely get their diplomas within six years, only 7 out of 10 black students made it to graduation day in several recent classes."If you look at who enters college, it now looks like America," says Hilary Pennington, director of postsecondary programs for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has closely studied enrollment patterns in higher education. "But if you look at who walks across the stage for a diploma, it's still largely the white, upper-income population."The United States once had the highest graduation rate of any nation. Now it stands 10th. For the first time in American history, there is the risk that the rising generation will be less well educated than the previous one. The graduation rate among 25- to 34-year-olds is no better than the rate for the 55- to 64-year-olds who were going to college more than 30 years ago. Studies show that more and more poor and non-white students want to graduate from college – but their graduation rates fall far short of their dreams. The graduation rates for blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans lag far behind the graduation rates for whites and Asians. As the minority population grows in the United States, low college graduation rates become a threat to national prosperity.The problem is pronounced at public universities. In 2007 the University of Wisconsin-Madison – one of the top five or so prestigious public universities – graduated 81% of its white students within six years, but only 56% of its blacks. At less-selective state schools, the numbers getworse. During the same time frame, the University of Northern Iowa graduated 67% of its white students, but only 39% of its blacks. Community colleges have low graduation rates generally –but rock-bottom rates for minorities. A recent review of California community colleges found that while a third of the Asian students picked up their degrees, only 15% of African-Americans did so as well.Private colleges and universities generally do better, partly because they offer smaller classes and more personal attention. But when it comes to a significant graduation gap, Bowdoin has company. Nearby Colby College logged an 18-point difference between white and black graduates in 2007 and 25 points in 2006. Middlebury College in Vermont, another top school, had a 19-point gap in 2007 and a 22-point gap in 2006. The most selective private schools –Harvard, Yale, and Princeton – show almost no gap between black and white graduation rates. But that may have more to do with their ability to select the best students. According to data gathered by Harvard Law School professor Lani Guinier, the most selective schools are more likely to choose blacks who have at least one immigrant parent from Africa or the Caribbean than black students who are descendants of American slaves."Higher education has been able to duck this issue for years, particularly the more selective schools, by saying the responsibility is on the individual student," says Pennington of the Gates Foundation. "If they fail, it's their fault." Some critics blame affirmative action –students admitted with lower test scores and grades from shaky high schools often struggle at elite schools. But a bigger problem may be that poor high schools often send their students to colleges for which they are "undermatched": they could get into more elite, richer schools, but instead go to community colleges and low-rated state schools that lack the resources to help them. Some schools out for profit cynically increase tuitions and count on student loans and federal aid to foot the bill – knowing full well that the students won't make it. "The school keeps the money, but the kid leaves with loads of debt and no degree and no ability to get a better job. Colleges are not holding up their end," says Amy Wilkins of the Education Trust.A college education is getting ever more expensive. Since 1982 tuitions have been rising at roughly twice the rate of inflation. In 2008 the net cost of attending a four-year public university – after financial aid – equaled 28% of median (中间的)family income, while a four-year private university cost 76% of median family income. More and more scholarships are based on merit, not need. Poorer students are not always the best-informed consumers. Often they wind up deeply in debt or simply unable to pay after a year or two and must drop out.There once was a time when universities took pride in their dropout rates. Professors would begin the year by saying, "Look to the right and look to the left. One of you is not going to be here by the end of the year." But such a Darwinian spirit is beginning to give way as at least a few colleges face up to the graduation gap. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the gap has been roughly halved over the last three years. The university has poured resources into peer counseling to help students from inner-city schools adjust to the rigor (严格要求)and faster pace of a university classroom –and also to help minority students overcome the stereotype that they are less qualified. Wisconsin has a "laserlike focus" on building up student skills in the first three months, according to vice provost (教务长)Damon Williams.State and federal governments could sharpen that focus everywhere by broadly publishing minority graduation rates. For years private colleges such as Princeton and MIT have had success bringing minorities onto campus in the summer before freshman year to give themsome prepara tory courses. The newer trend is to start recruiting poor and non-white students as early as the seventh grade, using innovative tools to identify kids with sophisticated verbal skills. Such pro grams can be expensive, of course, but cheap compared with the millions already invested in scholarships and grants for kids who have little chance to graduate without special support.With effort and money, the graduation gap can be closed. Washington and Lee is a small, selective school in Lexington, Va. Its student body is less than 5% black and less than 2% Latino. While the school usually graduated about 90% of its whites, the graduation rate of its blacks and Latinos had dipped to 63% by 2007. "We went through a dramatic shift," says Dawn Watkins, the vice president for student affairs. The school aggressively pushed mentoring (辅导) of minorities by other students and "partnering" with parents at a special pre-enrollment session. The school had its first-ever black homecoming. Last spring the school graduated the same proportion of minorities as it did whites.

It is by no means an exaggeration to claim that every college student has one or many such certificates.Behind such a certificate craze are the heightening anxieties of students over their future career. The supply of talents being gravely surplus on the labor market, prospective employers tend to recruit the best graduates with multiple talents. This employment orientation has rendered college education, largely confined to particular specialties, severely insufficient. To enhance their competitiveness on the job market, students have no alternative but to pursue additional qualifications by obtaining one certificate after another. Nobody seems to an exception to this nationwide craze. However, such a practice can be a double-edged sword. While the knowledge and skills thus acquired can be a useful supplement to college education, students’ time and energy might be seriously diverted, rendering them unable to concentrate on their proper specialties. Nevertheless, your future employer’s primary concern is your in-depth knowledge and skills in your specialty and your failure to possess themmight result in your failure to be considered in the first place, no matter how many certificates you can produce!【参考译文】校园里的考证热译者：钱坤强现在漫步于任何一所中国大学的校园，我们眼之所及，无不充斥着一片又一片连绵不断的海报，无论是在食堂前面或寝室周围，吸引学生们去参加名目繁多的培训项目，其唯一的目就是帮助你去获取这样那样的专业证书。

)1、The Impact of Interest on People’s SuccessAs is known to all, the success of a person needs the right guidance and interest is undoubtedly the best teacher. Even Albert Einstein, the world-renowned physicist, said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” So it is high time that people explore and cultivate their own interest.Passionate curiosity can be developed in one’s childhoo d or in one’s sixties, but once it is ignited, it can change people’s way of study, work and living. On the one hand, interest makes one’s pursuit of knowledge successful and enjoyable. For instance, the pianist Langlang, who plays piano with great love, is awarded a lot of prizes at home and abroad. On the other hand, curiosity helps to resolve difficulties constantly. A worker with curiosity is more likely to dig into the essence of the problem and thus accomplish more creative tasks.I would like to end up with the famous educator Herbert Spencer’s words which I can’t agree more, “If the interest andenthusiasm among us are cultivated smoothly in the first place, most people will become talents or geniuses.”2、“I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious.”This is the opinion of Einstein who was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishly more so than his peers. Now a growing number of people share his opinion.It is acknowledged that curiosity is vitally important if we cherish the hope of improving ourselves. The influence and contribution of curiosityare significant.First, curiosity can motivate us. The representative example was Edison, who was a famous inventor in the world. But what made him invent so many things? It was curiosity that made him acquire great achievements in his career. Second,curiosity plays an important role to keep going. I believe that more or less we demand continuance to master something or learn something.In conclusion, as college students, we should keepcuriosity from now on since it is indispensable in our daily life.大学英语六级历年写作真题及篇2In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge acquired every day into reality has intrigued numerous people. As a proverb goes, “ Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it。

Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad."Funny as it seems, this conversation can be naturally associated with the impacts of Internet on our life: In an era of Internet, the time for interpersonal communication is impaired by online chats or blogs.Apparently, the impacts of the Internet on interpersonal communication are diverse. For one thing, as a vital invention, Internet brings great convenience to our communication, eliminates the barrier of distance, and helps humans to keep in touch wherever and whenever. For another, it is Internet that does not enables family members, friends or classmates to communicate more in a face-to-face way. One case in point is that youngsters may spend hours chatting with acquaintances through QQ or MSN, but rarely do they talk with other face to face. Unfortunately, it we let this trend to continue as it is, the interpersonal relationship will, definitely, become alienated.To my understanding, it is advisable for people to communicate more withtheir families, friends and acquaintances in real life instead of merely through the Internet. Do bear in mind: Internet is just a tool.2011 年12 月英语六级作文题Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln s famous remark, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend, the first four sharpening the axe."

Thinking about the good opportunity you offer to me each time, I am really moved. What words should I say? It seems that words on this special occasion fail to express me. All in all, I just want to say "many many thanks for all your kindness and consideration."However , I can not accept the job you offer to me. I think, there are at least three personal reasons for this. First, I can not make full use of my major which I learned at college, though youpay much attention to me. Second, I have a habit to challenge myself . If a job or learning seems to lose the meaning of challenge, I will have to quit and find a challenging one for me. Third, I am not used to working in the same place for a long time.I want to have more working experiences and know a lot of different people. Therefore, I can not accept your offer .Above all, I also want to express my deep appreciation of your understanding of my decision. I think there are other qualified personnel in our company who you should give a chance.

2005年6月大学英语六级全真试题及答案

2005年6月大学英语六级考试试题Part ⅠListening Comprehension (20 minutes) (Omitted)Part ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Low-level slash-and-burn farming doesn’t harm rainforest. On the contrary, it helps farmers and improves forest soils. This is the unorthodox view of a German soil scientist who has shown that burnt clearings in the Amazon, dating back more than 1,000 years, helped create patches of rich, fertile soil that farmers still benefit from today.Most rainforest soils are thin and poor because they lack minerals and because the heat and heavy rainfall destroy most organic matter in the soils within four years of it reaching the forest floor. This means topsoil contains few of the ingredients needed for long-term successful farming.But Bruno Glaser, a soil scientist of the University of Bayreuth, has studied unexpected patches of fertile soils in the central Amazon. These soils contain lots of organic matter.Glaser has shown that most of this fertile organic matter comes from “black carbon”-the organic particles from camp fires and charred (烧成炭的) wood left over from thousands of years of slash-and-burn farming. ”The soils, known as Terr a Preta, contained up to 70times more black carbon than the surrounding soil, ”says Glaser.Unburnt vegetation rots quickly, but black carbon persists in the soil for many centuries. Radiocarbon dating shows that the charred wood in Terra Preta soils is typically more than 1,000 years old.“Slash-and-burn farming can be good for soils provided it doesn’t completely burn all the vegetation, and leaves behind charred wood,” says Glaser. “It can be better than manure (粪肥).” Burning the forest just once can leave behind enough black carbon to keep the soil fertile for thousands of years. And rainforests easily regrow after small-scale clearing. Contrary to the conventional view that human activities damage the environment, Glaser says: ”Black carbon combined w ith human wastes is responsible for the richness of Terra Preta soils.”Terra Preta soils turn up in large patches all over the Amazon, where they are highly prized byfarmers. All the patches fall within 500 square kilometers in the central Amazon. Glaser says the widespread presence of pottery (陶器) confirms the soil’s human origins.The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for “virgin” forest.During the past decade, researchers have discovered hundreds of large earth works deep in the jungle. They are up to 20 meters high and cover up to a square kilometer. Glaser claims that these earth works, built between AD 400 and 1400, were at the heart of urban civilizations. Now it seems the richness of the Terra Preta soils may explain how such civilizations managed to feed themselves.11. We learn from the passage that the traditional view of slash-and-burn farming is that .A) it does no harm to the topsoil of the rainforestB) it destroys rainforest soilsC) it helps improve rainforest soilsD) it diminishes the organic matter in rainforest soils12. Most rainforest soils are thin and poor because .A) the composition of the topsoil is rather unstableB) black carbon is washed away by heavy rainsC) organic matter is quickly lost due to heat and rainD) long-term farming has exhausted the ingredients essential to plant growth13. Glaser made his discovery by .A) studying patches of fertile soils in the central AmazonB) examining pottery left over by ancient civilizationsC) test-burning patches of trees in the central AmazonD) radiocarbon-dating ingredients contained in forest soils14. What does Glaser say about the regrowth of rainforests?A) They take centuries to regrow after being burnt.B) They cannot recover unless the vegetation is burnt completely.C) Their regrowth will be hampered by human habitation.D) They can recover easily after slash-and-burn farming.15. From the passage it can be inferred that .A) human activities will do grave damage to rainforestsB) Amazon rainforest soils used to be the richest in the worldC) farming is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforestsD) there once existed an urban civilization in the Amazon rainforestsPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.As a wise man once said, we are all ultimately alone. But an increasing number of Europeans are choosing to be so at an ever earlier age. This isn’t the stuff of gloomy philosophical contemplations, but a fact of Europe’s new economic landscape, embraced by sociologists, real-estate developers and ad executives alike. The shift away from family life to solo lifestyle, observes a French sociologist, is part of the “irresistible momentum of individualism” over the last century. The communications revolution, the shift from a business culture of stability to one of mobility and the mass entry of women into the workforce have greatly wreaked havoc on(扰乱) Europeans’ private lives.Europe’s new economic climate has largely fostered the trend toward independence. The current generation of home-aloners came of age during Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American style capitalism. Raised in an era of privatization and increased consumer choice, today’s tech-savvy(精通技术的) workers have embraced a free market in love as well as economics. Modern Europeans are rich enough to afford to live alone, and temperamentally independent enough to want to do so.Once upon a time, people who lived alone tended to be those on either side of marriage-twentysomething professionals or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly elderly women, make up a large proportion of those living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners in their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle choice. Living alone was conceived to be negative-dark and cold, while being together suggested warmth and light. But then came along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, strong! Now, young people want to live alone.The booming economy means people are working harder than ever. And that doesn’t leave muc h room for relationships. Pimpi Arroyo, a 35-year-old composer who lives alone in a house in Paris, says he hasn’t got time to get lonely because he has too much work. “I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fairly difficult.” Only an Ide al Woman would make him change his lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, author of a recent book called “The Single Woman and Prince Charming,” thinks this fierce new individualism means that people expect more and more of mates, so relationships don’t last long-if they start at all. Eppendorf, a blond Berliner with a deep tan, teaches grade school in the mornings. In the afternoon she sunbathes or sleeps, resting up for going dancing. Just shy of 50, she says she’d never have wanted to do what her mother did-give up a career to raise a family. Instead, “I’ve always done what I wanted to do: live a self-determined life.”16. More and more young Europeans remain single because .A) they are driven by an overwhelming sense of individualismB) they have entered the workforce at a much earlier ageC) they have embraced a business culture of stabilityD) they are pessimistic about their economic future17. What is said about European society in the passage?A) It has fostered the trend towards small families.B) It is getting closer to American-style capitalism.C) It has limited consumer choice despite a free market.D) It is being threatened by irresistible privatization.18. According to Paragraph 3, the newest group of singles are .A) warm and lighthearted B) on either side of marriageC) negative and gloomy D) healthy and wealthy19. The author quotes Eppendorf to show that .A) some modern women prefer a life of individual freedomB) the family is no longer the basic unit of society in present-day EuropeC) some professional people have too much work to do to feel lonelyD) most Europeans conceive living a single life as unacceptable20. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A) To review the impact of women becoming high earners.B) To contemplate the philosophy underlying individualism.C) To examine the trend of young people living alone.D) To stress the rebuilding of personal relationships.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Supporters of the biotech industry have accused an American scientist of misconduct after she testified to the New Zealand government that a genetically modified(GM) bacterium could cause serious damage if released.The New Zealand Life Sciences Network, an association of pro-GM scientists and organisations, says the view expressed by Elaine Ingham, a soil biologist at Oregon State University in Corvallis, was exaggerated and irresponsible. It has asked her university to discipline her.But Ingham stands by her comments and says the complaints are an attempt to silence her. “They’re trying to cause trouble with my university and get me fired,” Ingham told New Scientist.The controversy began on 1 February, when Ingham testified before New Zealand’s Roya l Commission on Genetic Modification, which will determine how to regulate GM organisms. Ingham claimed that a GM version of a common soil bacterium could spread and destroy plants if released into the wild. Other researchers had previously modified the bacterium to produce alcohol from organic waste. But Ingham says that when she put it in soil with wheat plants, all of the plants died within a week.“We would lose terrestrial(陆生的) plants...this is an organism that is potentially deadly to the continued survival of human beings,” she told the comm ission. She added that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) canceled its approval for field tests using the organism once she had told them about her research in 1999.But last week the New Zealand Life Sciences Network accused Ingham of “present ing inaccurate, careless and exaggerated information” and “generating speculative doomsday scenarios(世界末日的局面) that are not scientifically supportable”. They say that her study doesn’t even show that the bacteria would survive in the wild, much less kill massive numbers of plants. What’s more, the network says that contrary to Ingham’s claims, the EPA was never asked to consider the organism for field trials.The EPA has not commented on the dispute. But an e-mail to the network from Janet Anderson, director of the EPA’s bio-pesticides(生物杀虫剂) division, says “there is no record of a review and/or clearance to field test” the organism.Ingham says EPA officials had told her that the organism was approved for field tests, but says she has few details. It’s also not clear whether the organism, first engineered by a German institute for biotechnology, is still in use.Whether Ingham is right or wrong, her supporters say opponents are trying unfairly to silence her.“I think her concerns should be taken seriously. She shouldn’t be harassed in this way,”says Ann Clarke, a plant biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who also testified before the commission. “It’s n attempt to silence the opposition.”21. The passage centers on the controversy .A) between American and New Zealand biologists over genetic modificationB) as to whether the study of genetic modification should be continuedC) over the possible adverse effect of a GM bacterium on plantsD) about whether Elaine Ingham should be fired by her university22. Ingham insists that her testimony is based on .A) evidence provided by the EPA of the United StatesB) the results of an experiment she conducted herselfC) evidence from her collaborative research with German biologistsD) the results of extensive field tests in Corvallis, Oregon23. According to Janet Anderson, the EPA .A) has cancelled its approval for field tests of the GM organismB) hasn’t reviewed the findings of Ingham’s researchC) has approved field tests using the GM organismD) hasn’t given permission to field test the GM organism24. According to Ann Clarke, the New Zealand Life Sciences Network .A) should gather evidence to discredit Ingham’s claimsB) should require that the research by their biologists be regulatedC) shouldn’t demand that Ingham be disciplined for voicing her viewsD) shou ldn’t appease the opposition in such a quiet way25. Which of the following statements about Ingham is TRUE?A) Her testimony hasn’t been supported by the EPA.B) Her credibility as a scientist hasn’t been undermined.C) She is firmly supported by her university.D) She has made great contributions to the study of GM bacteria.Passage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Every fall, like clockwork, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just couldn’t get going in the morning,” she says. “I’d get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light-literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it’s still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But there’s never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, it’s hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. That’s why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo(安慰剂) effects.Until now. In three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that emits negatively charged ions(离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one really knows. “Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the body’s internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed t o start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.That hasn’t stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor’s prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can’t be treated with lig ht. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should emit only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive(对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. That’s an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.26. What is the probable cause of Krentz’s problem?A) An unexpected gain in body weight.B) Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.C) Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.D) Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.27. By saying that Linda Krentz “saw the light”(Line4, Para. 1), the author means that she “”.A) learned how to lose weightB) realized what her problem wasC) came to see the importance of lightD) became light-hearted and cheerful28.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Certificate Craze. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1.现在许多人热衷于各类证书考试2.其目的各不相同3.在我看来2011年6月六级考试真题作文优秀范文(文都版)Certificate CrazeIn recent years, to get a certificate has become a hot topic among people，especially among the young and heated debates are right on their way.A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones. College students in growing numbers are beginning to believe that get a certificate contributes directly to enhancing their future job opportunities or promotion opportunities. The pressure of employment makes college students be more inclined to get various certificates. What's more many parents and teachers believe that additional educational activities enjoy obvious advantage. By preparing certificate test, they maintain, their children are able to obtain many kinds of practical skills and useful knowledge, which will put them in a beneficial position in the future job markets .After a thorough consideration, for my part, I am in favor of being more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one's ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly will definitely leads to wasting of time. The students should enhance their awareness of the importance of ability. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My opinion on certificate crazeThe growing tendency among college students to get all kinds of certificates has now evolved into a craze. Just randomly ask a student what heor she is busily engaged in doing, quite possibly, you would get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. So, why's the craze?The reason behind this phenomenon is common — the enormous pressure of finding a job. Faced with a harsh job market, most students have no choice but to seek more certificates to parlay their qualifications. Another factor is that diploma and certificates still weighs heavily in terms of signifying one's ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another.Though I have an open mind toward the craze on certificates, I suggest that students should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since they do not necessarily tell their ability. Instead, they should be more involved in learning and capability boosting, thus, opportunities would come quite naturally.文章点评：这是一篇“中等偏上”的学生作文。

本篇亮点表达：The growing tendency … has now evolved into…be busily engaged in doingThe reason behind…harsh job markethave no choice but to…parlay their qualificationssth. weighs heavily in terms of…increasing one's odds of…be involved in doing …be compelled to do…have an open mind toward…capability boosting本文有待提高之处：1. 文章结构上，能看得出该同学试图采用议论文的“三段式”(提出问题、分析问题、解决问题)。

逻辑严谨，论证严密;句式表达灵活，用语较为地道。

2. 微观语言点方面，有个主谓一致的方面的错误(diploma and certificates still weighs heavily);有些语句稍显啰嗦，比quite possibly, you would get the answer that…大可简化成you’d most likely be told that…更好，意思没有丝毫减损，表达力反而增强许多;另外某些用语多重复，比如job多次出现;为了避免此类现象，文中的the enormous pressure of finding a job 不妨改为the enormous pressure of getting employed。

从整体看，本篇文章不错，值得参考借鉴，不过用语方面还有待提高。
