Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.The Curious Case of the Tree That Owns ItselfA) In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark—a large white oak that is almost universally stated to own itself. Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?B) Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved it so, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains,and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it.”C) Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”D) In time, the tree came to be something of a tourist attraction, known as The Tree That Owns Itself. However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death,with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians (看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9,1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.E) About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club (who’d tended to the tree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9, 1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.F) This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree’s heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of othertrees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. Thatsaid, to date, none of the original tree’s other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.G) This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the tree to itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.H) Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens,starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.I) He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he owned that land or not isn’t clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Ward was required to pay Jackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.J) After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff’s office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.K) And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.L) On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson’s death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.M) As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this sideof the story. So how did all of this come about then?N) It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled “Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it’s speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.O) Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn’t until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner. This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published about a decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.39. There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land on which the oak tree sat.40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasinga piece of land from him.41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.43. Jackson’s little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplanting of a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.45. The story of the Tree That Owns Itself appeared in the local paper several times, with slight alterations in wording.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wrong. So why don’t more employees intervene when they see someone exhibiting at-risk behavior in the workplace?There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company’s culture needs to make them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say something effectively.This is not strictly a workplace problem; it’s a growing problem off the job too. Every day people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander effect—the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility. Basically, the larger the crowd, the more people assume that someone else will take care of it—meaning no one effectively intervenes or acts in a moment of need.This crowd mentality is strong enough for people to evade their known responsibilities. But it’s not only frontline workers who don’t make safety interventions in the workplace. There are also instances where supervisors do not intervene either.When a group of employees sees unsafe behavior not being addressed at a leadership level it creates the precedent that this is how these situations should be addressed, thus defining the safety culture for everyone.Despite the fact that workers are encouraged to intervene when they observe unsafe operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening. There is a fear of penalty, a fear that they’ll have to do more work if they intervene. Unsuccessful attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don’t intervene—they tend to prefer to defer that action to someone else for all future situations.On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of their job is to intervene when workers perform a task without the proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe. Competent workers are also required to stop work from continuing when there’s a danger.Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn’t required, supervisors need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a safety climate within their team that supports intervening and open communication among them.Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it’s important to educate everyone within the organization that they are obliged to intervene ifthey witness a possible unsafe act, whether you’re a designated competent person, a supervisor or a frontline worker.46. What is one of the factors contributing to failure of intervention in face of risky behavior in the workplace?A) Slack supervision style.B) Unfavorable workplace culture.C) Unforeseeable risk.D) Blocked communication.47. What does the author mean by “diffusion of responsibility” (Line 4, Para. 3)?A) The more people are around, the more they need to worry about their personal safety.B) The more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone will venture to participate.C) The more people idling around on the street, the more likely they need taking care of.D) The more people are around, the less chance someone will step forward to intervene.48. What happens when unsafe behavior at the workplace is not addressed by the leaders?A) No one will intervene when they see similar behaviors.B) Everyone will see it as the easiest way to deal with crisis.C) Workers have to take extra caution executing their duties.D) Workers are left to take care of the emergency themselves.49. What is the ultimate reason workers won’t act when they see unsafe operations?A) Preference of deferring the action to others.B) Anticipation of leadership intervention.C) Fear of being isolated by coworkers.D) Fear of having to do more work.50. What is critical to ensuring workplace safety?A) Workers be trained to operate their equipment properly.B) Workers exhibiting at-risk behavior be strictly disciplined.C) Supervisors create a safety environment for timely intervention.D) Supervisors conduct effective communication with frontline workers.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The term “environmentalist” can mean different things. It used to refer to people trying to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems. In the 21st century, the term has evolved to capture the need to combat human-made climate change.The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism is thecause of a split within the scientific community about nuclear energy.On one side are purists who believe nuclear power isn’t worth the risk and the exclusive solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. The opposing side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs an amount of power available to meet consumers’ basic demands when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited.Leon Clarke, who helped author reports for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, isn’t an uncritical supporter of nuclear energy, but says it’s a valuable option to have if we’re serious about reaching carbon neutrality.“Core to all of this is the degree to which you think we can actually meet climate goals with 100% renewables,” he said. “If you don’t believe we can do it, and you care about the climate, you are forced to think about something like nuclear.”The achievability of universal 100% renewability is similarly contentious. Cities such as Burlington, Vermont, have been “100% renewable” for years. But these cities often have small populations, occasionally still rely on fossil fuel energy and have significant renewable resources at their immediate disposal. Meanwhile, countries that manage to run off renewables typically do so thanks to extraordinary hydroelectric capabilities.Germany stands as the best case study for a large, industrialized country pushing into green energy. Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 announced Energiewende, an energy transition that would phase out nuclear and coal while phasing in renewables. Wind and solar power generation has increased over 400% since 2010, and renewables provided 46% of the country’s electricity in 2019.But progress has halted in recent years. The instability of renewables doesn’t just mean energy is often not produced at night, but also that solar and wind can overwhelm the grid during the day, forcing utilities to pay customers to use their electricity. Lagging grid infrastructure struggles to transport this overabundance of green energy from Germany’s north to its industrial south, meaning many factories still run on coal and gas. The political limit has also been reached in some places, with citizens meeting the construction of new wind turbines with loud protests.The result is that Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 11.5% since 2010—slower than the EU average of 13.5%.51. What accounts for the divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy?A) Attention to combating human-made climate change.B) Emphasis on protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.C) Evolution of the term ‘green energy’ over the last century.D) Adherence to different interpretations of environmentalism.52. What is the solution to energy shortage proposed by purists’opponents?A) Relying on renewables firmly and exclusively.B) Using fossil fuel and green energy alternately.C) Opting for nuclear energy when necessary.D) Limiting people’s non-basic consumption.53. What point does the author want to make with cities like Burlington as an example?A) It is controversial whether the goal of the whole world’s exclusive dependence on renewables is attainable.B) It is contentious whether cities with large populations have renewable resources at their immediate disposal.C) It is arguable whether cities that manage to run off renewables have sustainable hydroelectric capabilities.D) It is debatable whether traditional fossil fuel energy can be done away with entirely throughout the world.54. What do we learn about Germany regarding renewable energy?A) It has increased its wind and solar power generation four times over the last two decades.B) It represents a good example of a major industrialized country promoting green energy.C) It relies on renewable energy to generate more than half of its electricity.D) It has succeeded in reaching the goal of energy transition set by Merkel.55. What may be one of the reasons for Germany’s progress having halted in recent years?A) Its grid infrastructure’s capacity has fallen behind its development of green energy.B) Its overabundance of green energy has forced power plants to suspend operation during daytime.C) Its industrial south is used to running factories on conventional energy supplies.D) Its renewable energy supplies are unstable both at night and during the day.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2023年12月CET6大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析【官方完整版】Part I 写作Writing (30 minutes)Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参照范文】It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encouragethe public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.【参照译文】众所周知创新意味着有发明力，独一无二和不一样。

英语六级复习必刷资料大学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版Part I Writing标准版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 he or 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。

Social skills help children to interact effectively with others and build healthy relationships. These skills are vital for success in school, work, and life in general.One of the best ways to help children develop social skills is through play. Play allows children to practice andmaster social, emotional, and cognitive skills in a relaxed and enjoyableenvironment. Through play, children learn valuable skills such as cooperation, sharing, problem-solving, and communication.There are different types of play that help in the development of social skills. Cooperative play is when children play and work together towards a common goal. This type of play helps children to learn teamwork and collaboration. Pretend play, on the other hand, allows children to develop empathy and understanding of others’ perspectives. They learn to take on different roles and pretend to be someone else, which helps in developing their social and emotional intelligence. Board games and group activities also promote social interaction and help children learn important skills such as taking turns, following rules, and resolving conflicts in a fair manner.Parents and educators play a crucial role in promoting social skills development. They can create opportunities for play and provide guidance and support. It is important for parents to encourage their children to engage in various types of play and provide them with age-appropriate toys and games. Educators can incorporate play-based learning activities in the classroom to foster social skills development.In conclusion, play is a valuable tool for social skills development. It allows children to practice and master important skills while having fun. Parents and educators should recognize the importance of play and provide opportunities and support for children to engage in different types of play.第二套The concept of time management is essential in today’s fast-paced world.

⼤学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版英语六级复习必刷资料⼤学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版Part I Writing标准版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 he or 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。

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. You should base your essay on the chart below and give reasonable explanations for your views.Chart: The Impact of Technology on EducationYear | Number of Students Using Technology-----------------------2000 | 10%2005 | 30%2010 | 60%2015 | 90%2020 | 95%Example Essay:The chart above clearly illustrates the significant increase in the number of students using technology in education over the past two decades. This trend is not surprising, given the rapid advancements in technology and its integration into various aspects of our lives.In my opinion, the role of technology in education is multifaceted. Firstly, it has revolutionized the way students learn. With access to the internet and educational platforms, students can now access a wealth of information and resources, which enhances their learning experience. This has made education more personalized and adaptable to individual learning styles.Secondly, technology has made education more inclusive. Online courses and distance learning programs have opened up educational opportunities for students who are unable to attend traditional classrooms, such as those in remote areas or with physical disabilities. This has helped bridge the educational gap and promote equal access to education.However, there are also challenges associated with the increasing reliance on technology in education. For instance, the digital divide remains a concern, as not all students have equal access to technology and the internet. Additionally, excessive use of technology can lead to distractions and a lack of face-to-face interaction, which are crucial for social and emotional development.In conclusion, the role of technology in education is undeniable. While it has brought numerous benefits, it is essential to address the challenges and ensure that technology is used responsibly and equitably.Analysis:This essay effectively addresses the given topic by discussing the positive and negative aspects of technology in education. The writer starts bysummarizing the chart and then presents a clear position on the topic. The essay is well-structured, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs that support the writer’s viewpoint, and a concise conclusion.The introduction mentions the chart and indicates the writer’s intention to discuss the role of technology in education. The body paragraphs provide specific examples and explanations to support the writer’s arguments. The first paragraph discusses the positive impact of technology on learning and personalization, while the second paragraph addresses the inclusiveness of education through online and distance learning programs.The third paragraph acknowledges the challenges associated with technology, such as the digital divide and potential distractions. The conclusion summarizes the main points and reinforces the writer’s view that technology plays a significant role in education but must be used responsibly.The essay is concise, with a word count within the required range, and demonstrates a good command of the English language.二、听力理解-长对话（选择题，共8分）第一题W: Hi, John.

Critical第二题In recent years, the rise of e-commerce has revolutionized the way people shop. With just a few clicks, consumers can purchase products from all over the world and have them delivered to their doorstep. This convenience has led to a significant increase in online shopping, but it has also brought about some challenges.One major challenge is the issue of product authenticity. As the market becomes more global, consumers are increasingly purchasing products from foreign countries. While this allows for a wider variety of choices, it also opens the door to counterfeit goods. Consumers often find it difficult to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products, which can lead to wasted money and disappointment.Another challenge is the problem of return policies. Many online retailers offer generous return policies, which can be beneficial for consumers. However, some retailers take advantage of this leniency by providing vague return guidelines or imposing hidden fees. This can leave consumers feeling frustrated and misled.Despite these challenges, the benefits of online shopping are undeniable. Here are some of the key advantages:1.Convenience: Online shopping allows consumers to shop from the comfort of their own homes, saving them time and energy.2.Variety: Consumers can access products from all over the world, which increases their choices.petitive Pricing: Online retailers often offer lower prices due to lower overhead costs.4.Customer Reviews: Consumers can read reviews from other customers, which can help them make informed purchasing decisions.The following passage contains information that might help answer the questions below.Questions:1、What is one of the main challenges mentioned in the passage regarding online shopping?A. The high cost of shipping.B. The difficulty of identifying authentic products.C. The lack of customer reviews.D. The inconvenience of returns.2、According to the passage, what can consumers do to avoid purchasing counterfeit goods?A. Shop only from reputable retailers.B. Always pay with cash to avoid credit card fraud.C. Ignore reviews and rely on their own judgment.D. Avoid purchasing products from foreign countries.3、What is a potential issue with online retailers’ return policies?A. They are too strict and make it difficult for consumers to return items.B. They are too lenient and encourage consumers to return items unnecessarily.C. They are inconsistent and can be misleading to consumers.D. They are expensive and can add to the cost of the product.4、What is one advantage of online shopping mentioned in the passage?A. The ability to shop without leaving home.B. The guarantee of finding the lowest prices.C. The opportunity to interact with the seller directly.D. The promise of receiving a product immediately.5、The passage suggests that despite challenges, online shopping is still popular because:A. Consumers are willing to pay higher prices for convenience.B. The benefits outweigh the potential risks.C. Traditional shopping methods are becoming obsolete.D. The government is implementing strict regulations to ensure online shopping safety.Answers:1、B2、A3、C4、A5、B七、阅读理解-仔细阅读（选择题，共20分）第一题Reading Passage OneIn the 1960s, the United States was facing a serious energy crisis. The country was heavily dependent on imported oil, which was causing economic and political instability. In order to address this issue, the federal government initiated a program to promote the development of renewable energy sources, including solar power.One of the key players in this program was a young engineer named Steven Koonin. He was fascinated by the potential of solar power and dedicated his career to its development. Koonin’s research focused on improving the efficiency of solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity.Initially, solar cells were very expensive and inefficient. However, Koonin and his team were able to make significant breakthroughs. They developed a new type of solar cell that was much cheaper and more efficient than the existing technology. This breakthrough had a profound impact on the solar industry.Koonin’s work was not limited to solar cells. He also researched other renewable energy sources, such as wind and geothermal power. He believed that a diverse mix of renewable energy sources was necessary to ensure a stable andsustainable energy supply for the United States.Despite the success of his research, Koonin faced numerous challenges. One of the biggest challenges was securing funding for his projects. He had to navigate the complex political landscape and convince investors and policymakers of the value of renewable energy.Over the years, Koonin’s work has had a significant impact on the renewable energy industry. His research has helped to make solar power more affordable and accessible. As a result, the United States has become one of the world leaders in solar energy production.Today, Koonin continues to advocate for the development of renewable energy. He believes that it is crucial for the country to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and transition to a sustainable energy future.Questions:1、What was the main purpose of the federal government program mentioned in the passage?A、To promote the development of renewable energy sources.B、To encourage the use of solar power in the United States.C、To reduce the country’s dependence on imported oil.D、To improve the efficiency of solar cells.2、What was the initial challenge faced by Koonin and his team in developing solar cells?A、The high cost of solar cells.B、The low efficiency of solar cells.C、The difficulty of securing funding for their projects.D、The political resistance to renewable energy.3、According to the passage, what is one of the reasons why Koonin believeda diverse mix of renewable energy sources was necessary?A、To ensure a stable and sustainable energy supply.B、To reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.C、To make solar power more affordable.D、To improve the efficiency of solar cells.4、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a renewable energy source by Koonin?A、Solar power.B、Wind power.C、Geothermal power.D、Nuclear power.5、What is the author’s attitude towards Koonin’s work?A、Critical.B）Objective.C）Positive.D）Negative.答案：1、A2、B3、A4、D5、C第二题Reading PassagesPassage OneIn the wake of the global financial crisis, there has been a growing concern about the future of higher education. Many argue that the rising cost of tuition fees and the increasing debt burden on students are making higher education less accessible. However, a new study suggests that while the cost of attending college is indeed rising, the return on investment is still significant for most students.The study, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, analyzed data from students who graduated between 1992 and 2012. It found that, on average, individuals with a bachelor’s degree earned about$21,000 more per year than those with only a high school diploma. Furthermore, the gap in earnings between college graduates and high school graduates has been widening over time.Despite the economic benefits, the study also highlighted the growing gap in access to higher education. Students from low-income families are less likely to attend college and, if they do, they are more likely to accumulate substantial debt. This discrepancy is partly due to the fact that students from low-incomefamilies are less likely to have the financial resources to cover the costs of college.Questions:1、What is the main concern expressed in the first paragraph of the passage?A. The cost of attending college is decreasing.B. The future of higher education is uncertain.C. Students are accumulating less debt.D. The return on investment in higher education is diminishing.2、According to the study, what is the average difference in annual earnings between college graduates and high school graduates?A.$6,000B.$12,000C.$21,000D.$30,0003、Why are students from low-income families more likely to accumulate substantial debt?A. They are more likely to attend college.B. They have fewer financial resources.C. They earn less than college graduates.D. They are more likely to drop out of college.4、What is one of the reasons for the growing gap in access to higher education mentioned in the passage?A. The cost of attending college is increasing.B. Students from low-income families are more likely to attend college.C. The return on investment in higher education is decreasing.D. There is a lack of financial aid for low-income students.5、What is the author’s overall stance on the future of higher education?A. It is becoming less accessible to low-income students.B. The economic benefits of higher education are diminishing.C. The rising cost of tuition fees is a significant concern.D. The return on investment in higher education is still significant.Answers:1、B2、C3、B4、A5、D八、翻译-汉译英（15分）Translation from Chinese to EnglishDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Due Attention Should Be Given to the Study of Chinese. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1.近年来在学生中出现了忽视中文学习现象；2.出现这种现象原因和后果；3.我认为…Due Attention Should Be Given to the Study of ChineseAlmost no one in China can have failed to notice the fact that a number of students pay little attention to the study of Cheese nowadays. Taking a look around, one can find examples too many to list: some refuse to go to Chinese classes, some read few Chinese classics and some rarely write in Chinese。
A number of factors can account for such phenomenon, but the following might be the critical ones. For one thing, the craze for learning English affect, to some degree, students’ passion for the study of their native language. For another, the increasing emphasis on some so-called “practical subjects” closely related to th e pursuit for jobs also cut into students’ time and energy spent on the study of Chinese。

2015大学英语六级真题答案完整版As 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 childhood 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 and enthusiasm among us are cultivated smoothly in the first place, most people will become talents or geniuses.阅读答案选词填空答案36.

Each passage is followed by somequestions 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 AnswerSheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to recoverfrom World War I and instituted austerity (紧缩) programs to reduce their imports. The resultwas a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier timeshad been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery,seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the itemsfarmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. Thesedevelopments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extendedthroughout the 1939s.In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. Itestablished the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it representedthe first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers.President Hoover s successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the firstmeasures proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was theAgricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law gave theSecretary of Agriculture the power to reduce production through voluntary agreements withfarmers who were paid to take their land out of use. A deliberate scarcity of farm productswas planned in an effort to raise prices. This law was declared unconstitutional by the SupremeCourt on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group ofpeople. However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of restingsoil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soilconservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nation s soil was in thenational interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other ter the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery,hybrid (杂交) grain, and fertilizers.21.What brought about the decline in the demand for American farm products?A) The impact of the Great Depression.B) The shrinking of overseas markets.C) The destruction caused by the First World War.D) The increased exports of European countries.22.The chief concern of the American government in the area of agriculture in the 1920s was______ .A) to increase farm productionB) to establish agricultural lawsC) to prevent farmers from going bankruptD) to promote the mechanization of agriculture23.The Agricultural Adjustment Act encouraged American farmers to ______.A) reduce their scale of productionB) make full use of their landC) adjust the prices of their farm productsD) be self-sufficient in agricultural production24.The Supreme Court rejected the Agricultural Adjustment Act because it believed that the Act______.A) might cause greater scarcity of farm productsB) didn t give the Secretary of Agriculture enough powerC) would benefit neither the government nor the farmersD) benefited one group of citizens at the expense of others25.It was claimed that the new laws passed during the Roosevelt Administration were aimed at______.A) reducing the cost of farminB) conserving soil in the long-term interest of the nationC) lowering the burden of farmersD) helping farmers without shifling the burden onto other taxpayersPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:In the 1950s, the pioneers of artificial intelligence (AI) predicted that, by the end of thiscentury, computers would be conversing with us at work and robots would be performing ourhousework. But as useful as computers are, they re nowhere close to achieving anythingremotely resembling these early aspirations f or humanlike behavior. Never mind something ascomplex as conversation: the most powerful computers struggle to reliably recognize theshape of an object, the most elementary of tasks for a ten-month-old kid.A growing group of AI researchers think they know where the field wentwrong . The problem,the scientists say, is that AI has been trying to separate the highest, most abstract levels ofthought, like language and mathematics, and to duplicate them with logical, step-by-stepprograms. A new movement in AI, on the other hand, takes a closer look at the moreroundabout way in which nature came up with intelligence. Many of these researchers studyevolution and natural adaptation instead of formal logic and conventional computerprograms. Rather than digital computers and transistors, some want to work with brain cellsand proteins . The results of these early efforts are as promising as they are peculiar, and thenew nature-based AI movement is slowly but surely moving to the forefront of the field.Imitating the brain s neural (神经的) network is a huge step in the right direction, sayscomputer scientist and biophysicist Michael Conrad, but it still misses an important aspect ofnatural intelligence. People tend to treat the brain as if it were made up of color-codedtransistors , he explains, but it s not simply a clever network of switches. There are lots ofimportant things going on inside the brain cells themselves. Specifically, Conrad believes thatmany of the brain s capabilities stem from the patternrecognition proficiency of the individualmolecules that make up each brain cell. The best way to build and artificially intelligentdevice, he claims, would be to build it around the same sort of molecular skills.Right now, the option that conventional computers and software are fundamentallyincapable of matching the processes that。
