Where do you get the energy?W：Oh,well, I just love what I do. I am extremely fortunate life doing what I love doing.M：Professor, what exactly is your goal? Why do you do all of this?W：Well, As you said, I do have different things going on. But these, I think, can be divided into two groups. The education of science and the further understanding of science.M：Don't these two things get in the way of each other? What I mean is, doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W：Not really. No, I love teaching. And I don't mind spending more time doing that now than in the past. Also what I will say is that teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself. I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly. When I have to aid others in understanding it. And when I have to answer questions about it, teaching at a high level can be very stimulating. One, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field, they are instructingM：any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? a significant discovery on venture. And we can expect soon?W：the world is always conducting science and there are constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now we have too much data sitting in computers. For example, we have thousands of photos of planet mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen. We have them yet. Nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1. Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?答案：Oh,well, I just love what I do.Question 2. What has the woman been engaged in?答案：The education of science and the further understanding of science.Question 3.

But some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays, in the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W：My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed, can you guess what she did? She didn't take that flight. She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead she took the same flight. But a week later, everything was fine. Of course, no plane ever crashed.M：How funny did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It's been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.W：Yes, absolutely. But even if we think they are ridiculous, emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M：Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, things they wished would happen. But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W：Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bizarre as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 5. What do both speakers think of dreams?答案：they don’t have special meaningsQuestion 6. Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?答案：Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashedQuestion 7. What does the woman say about people's emotions?答案：emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.Question 8. What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults dreams?答案：But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.Passage one.南极考察队对于V湖冰面下生物的探索While some scientists explore the surface of antarctica, others are learning more about a giant body of water four kilometres beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered lake Voss dock in the 19 seventy's by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and evensatellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in lake Vohs dog remain liquid beneath an ice sheet? The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing, says Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than 2 million years.Anything found there will be totally alien to what's on the surface of the earth to see a good scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination.

It seems today that people are terrified of the term, particularly of having the label attached to them. Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission, thereby maintaining the existing state of affairs, and more important, preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life, when faced with a threat of being labeled radical women back down from their worthy cause and consequently participate in their own oppression, it has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the stigma attached to the word. If people refuse to be controlled and intimidated by stigma, as the stigma as lose all their power, without fear and which to feed such stigma as can only die. To me, a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm. What advocates a change in the existingstate of affairs? On closer inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving and therefore is not a constant entity.So why there is deviation from the present situation? Such a threat than the state of affairs itself is unstable. And subject to relentless transformation, it all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the rise of those who don't. In fact, when we look at the word radical in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals. Civil rights activists were radicals, even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England or radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed. There are some radicals who have made a negative impact on humanity. But undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That being said, next time someone calls me a radical, I will accept that label with pride.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16. What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?答案：preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Question 17. What is the speaker's definition of a radical?答案：a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm.Question 18. What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?答案：there would simply be no progress without radicals.Recording two.人的社会性因素：不可避免的被环境影响We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent. Perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.And let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and the people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his 10 minute coffee break, but the other workers take a half an hour. Fred says, what's the matter with you guys? Two weeks later, Fred is taking 20 minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying, if you can't beat them, join them, why should I work any harder than the next guy?The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we have become accustomed to the nasty smells mix with critical people. And we learn to criticize mixed with happy people. And we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say that is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I may offend some of my present company. Right? But it is your life. Fred may say I'm always broke frequently depressed. I'm going nowhere and I never do anything exciting. Then we discover that friends, best friends, are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence. Nor is it our business to stand in judgmentof Fred. However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years. It's no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health because they spend their lives around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally, nine out of tension, whose parents' smoke smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successful friends. And so the story goes on.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19. What does the speaker say about us as human beings?答案：None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.Question 20. What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?答案：It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh airQuestion 21.What does the speaker say about psychiatrists?答案：Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Recording three.美元的发展历史(这玩意有啥可说的?)Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency. The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other. The exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief lifespan. Few dollar bills survive longer. 18 months.The word dollar is taken from the German word, tailor the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century.The Thaler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles the 5th, emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the constitution was signed,people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era. Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest bearing bank notes were issued at the same time. But their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the war of 1812. The first non interest bearing paper currency was authorized by congress in 1862. At the height of the civil war. At this point, citizens, old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed. The dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname greenback. Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the federal reserve and is issued from the 12 federal reserve banks around the United States. The government keeps a steady supply of approximately 2 billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However, for the present, the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it and little more. The only other guarantee on the bill is a federalreserve pledge as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22. What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?答案：The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the otherQuestion 23.

Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Ansuer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Overall, men are more likely than women to make excuses. Several studies suggest that men feel the need to appear competent in all 26______，while women worry only about the skills in which they've invested 27______ . Ask a man and a woman to go diving for the first time, and the woman is likely to jump in, while the man is likely to say he's not feeling too well.Ironically, it is often success that leads people to flirt with failure. Praise won for 28______ a skill suddenly puts one in the position of having everything to lose. Rather than putting their reputation on the line again, many successful people develop a handicapdrinking,29______,depression- -that allows them to keep their status no matter what the future brings. An advertising executive 30______ for depression shortly after winning an award put it this way:“ Without my depression, I'd be a failure now;with it, I'm a success‘on hold’”In fact, the people most likely to become chronic excuse makers are those31______ with success.Such people are so afraid of being 32______ a failure at anything that they constantly develop one handicap or another in order to explain away failure.Though self-handicapping can be an effective way of coping with performance anxiety now and then, in the end, researchers say, it will lead to 33______. In the long run, excuse makers fail to live up to their true 34______ and lose the status they care so much about. And despite their protests to the 35______ they have only themselves to blame.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in ome of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from xwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Fach paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questioms by marking thecorresponding letter om Ansuer Sheet 2.Six Potential Bain Benefits of Bilingual EducationA) Brains, brains, brains. People are fascinated by brain research. And yet it can be hard to point to places where our education system is really making use of the latest neuroscience findings. But there is one happy link where research is meeting practice: bilingual education.“In the last 20 years or so, there's been a virtual explosion of research on bilingualism ,says Judith Kroll, a professor at the University of Califonia, Riverside.B) Again and again, researchers have found,“bilingualism is an experience that shapes our brain for life," in the words of Gigi Luk, an associate professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education.At the same time, one of the hottest trends in public schooling is what's often called dual-language ortwo-way immersion programs.C) Traditional programs for English-language leamers, or ELLs, focus on assimilating students into English as quickdy as possible. Dual-languageclassrooms, by contrast, provide instruction across subjects to both English natives and English leamers, in both English and a target language.The goal is functional bilingualism and biliteracy for all students by middle school. New York City ,North Carolina, Delaware, Utah, Oregon and Washington state are among the places expanding dual-language classrooms.D) The trend fies in the face of some of the culture wars of two decades ago , when advocates insisted on“English first” education. Most famously, Califomnia passed Proposition 227 in 1998. It was intended to sharply reduce the amount of time that English-language leamers spent in bilingual settings. Proposition 58，passed by California voters on November 8, largely reversed that decision,paving the way for a huge expansion of bilingual education in the state that has the largest population of English-language leamers.E) Some of the insistence on Englih-first was founded on research produced decades ago, in which bilingual students underperformned monolingual English speakers and had lower IQ scores. Today's scholars, like Elen Bialystok at York University in Toronto, say that research was “deeply flawed. ”“ Earlier research looked at socially disadvantaged groups, ”agrees Antonella Sorace at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.“This has been completely contradicted by recent research'”that compares groups more similar to each other.F) So what does recent research say about the potential benefts of bilingual education? It tuns out that, in many ways, the real trick to speaking twolanguages consists in managing not to speak one of those languages at a given moment- -which is fundametally a feat of paying attention. Saying “Goodbye" to mom and then“Guten tag" to your teacher, or managing to ask for a crayola roja instead of a red crayon, requires skills called “ inhibition”and “task switching.” These skills are subsets of an ability called executive function.G) People who speak two languages often outperform monolinguals on general measures of executive function.“ Bilinguals can pay focused attention without being distracted and also improve in the ability to switch from one task to another,”says Sorace.H) Do these same advantages beneft a child who begins learning a second language in kindergarten instead of as a baby? We don't yet know. Patterns of language learning and language. use are complex. But Gigi Luk at Harvard cites at least one brain-imaging study on adolescents that shows similar changes in brain structure when compared with those who are bilingual from bith, even when they didn't begin practicing a second language in eamest before late childhood.I) Young children being raised bilingual have to follow social cues to fngure out which language to use with which person and in what setting. As a result, says Sorace，bilingual children as young as age 3 have demonstrated a head start on tests of perspective-taking and theory of mind- -both of which are fundamental social and emotional skills.J) About 10 percent of students in the Portland, Oregon public schools are assigned by lottery to dua]-language classrooms that offer instruction in Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin, alongside English.Jennifer Steele at American University conducted a four-year, randomized trial and found that these dual-language students outperforned their peers in English-reading skills by a full school-year's worth of learning by the end of middle school. Because the effects are found in reading, not in math or science where there were few differences, Steele suggests that learning two languages makes students more aware of how language works in general.K) The research of Gigi Luk at Harvard offers a slightly different explanation. She has recently done a small study looking at a group of 100 fourth-graders in Massachusetts who had similar reading scores on a standard test, but very different language experiences. Some were foreign-language dominant and others were English natives. Here's what's interesting. The students who were dominant in a foreign language weren't yet comfortably bilingual; they were just starting to leam English.Therefore, by definition, they had a much weaker English vocabulary than the native speakers.Yet they were just as good at interpreting a text. “ This is very surprising," Luk says.“You would expect the reading comprehension performance to mirror the vocabulary- -it's a cormerstone of comprehension.*L) How did the foreign-language dominant speakers manage this feat? Well, Luk found, they also scored higher on tests of executive functioning. So, even though they didn't have huge mental dictionaries to draw on, they may havebeen great puzzle- solvers, taling into account higher-level concepts such as whether a single sentence made sense within an overall story line. They got to the same results as the monolinguals, by a different path.M) American public school classrooms as a whole are becoming more segregated by race and class.Dual-language programs can be an exception. Because they are composed of native English speakers deliberately placed together with recent immigrants，they tend to be more ethnically and economically balanced. And there is some evidence that this helps kids of all backgrounds gain comfort with diversity and different cultures.N) Several of the researchers also pointed out that, in bilingual education, non-English- dominant students and their families tend to feel that their home language is heard and valued,compared with a classroom where the home language is left at the door in favor of English. This can improve students' sense of belonging and increase parents' involvement in their children's education,including behaviors like reading to children. “ Many parents fear their language is an obstacle,a problem, and if they abandon it their child will integrate better," says Antonella Sorace of the University of Edinburgh.“We tell them they're not doing their child a favor by giving up their language.”O) One theme that was striking in speaking to all these researchers was just how strongly they advocated for dual-language classrooms. Thomas and Collier have advised many school systems on how to expand theirdual-language programs, and Sorace runs “ Bilingualism Matters," aintermational network of researchers who promote bilingual education projects. This type 0 advocacy among scientists is unusual; even more so becausethe“bilingual advantage hypothesis" is being challenged once again.P) A review of studies published last year found that cognitive advantages failed to appear in 83 percent of published studies , though in a separate analysis , the sum of effects was still signifcantly positive.One potential explanation offered by the researchers is that advantages that are measurable in the very young and very old tend to fade when testing young adults at the peak of their cognitive powers. And, they countered that no negative effects of bilingual education have been found.So,even if the advantages are small, they are still worth it. Not to mention one obv ious, outstanding fact:“ Bilingual children can speak two languages! ' '36. A study found that there are similar changes in brain structure between those who are bilingual from birth and those who start leaming a second language later.37. Unlike traditional monolingual prograns, bilingual classrooms aim at developing students' ability to use two languages by middle school.38. A study showed that dual-language students did significantly better than their peers in reading English texts.39. About twenty years ago, bilingual practice was strongly discouraged, especially in California.10. Ethnically and economically balanced bilingual classooms are found to be helpful for kids to get used to social and cultural diversity.41. Researchers now claim that earlier research on bilingual education was seriously flawed.42. According to a researcher , dual-language experiences exert a lifelong influence on one's brain.43. Advocates of bilingual education argued that it produces positive effects though they may be limited.44. Bilingual speakers often do better than monolinguals in completing certain tasks because they can concentrate better on what they are doing.45. When their native language is used, parents can become more involved in their children's education.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It is not controversial to say that an unhealthy diet causes bad health. Nor are the basic elements of healthy eating disputed. Obesity raises susceptibility to cancer, and Britain is the sixth most obese country on Earth. That is a public health emergency. But naming the problem is the easy part. No one disputes the costs in quality of life and depleted health budgets of an obese population, but the quest for solutions gets diverted by ideological arguments aroundresponsibility and choice. And the water is muddied by lobbying from the industries that profit from consumption of obesity-inducing products. Historical precedent suggests that science and politics can overcome resistance from businesses that pollute and poison but it takes time, and success often starts small. So it is heartening to note that a programme in Leeds has achieved a reduction in childhood obesity, becoming the first UK city to reverse a fattening trend. The best results were among younger children and in more deprived areas.When 28% of English children aged two to 15 are obese, a national shift on the scale achieved by Leeds would lengthen hundreds of thousands of lives. A significant factor in the Leeds experience appears to be a scheme called HENRY,which helps parents reward behaviours that preyent obesity in children.Many members of parliament are uncomfortable even with their own govemment's anti-obesity strategy,since it involves a“sugar tax" and a ban on the sale of energy drinks to under-16s. Bans and taxes can be blunt instruments, but their harshest critics can rarely suggest better methods.These critics just oppose regulation itself.The relationship between poor health and inequality is too pronounced for govermments to be passive about large-scale intervention. People living in the most deprived areas are four times more prone to die from avoidable causes than counterparts in more affluent places. As the structural nature of publichealth problems becomes harder to ignore,the complaint about overprotective govenment loses potency.In fact, the polarised debate over public health interventions should have been abandoned long emment action works when individuals are motivated to respond. Individuals need govemments that expand access to good choices. The HENRY programme was delivered in part through children's centres. Closing such centres and cutting council budgets doesn't magically increase reserves of individual self-reliance. The function of a well-designed state intervention is not to deprive people of liberty but to build social capacity and infrastructure that helps people take responsibility for their wellbeing. The obesity crisis will not have a solution devised by leit or right ideology- -but experience indicates that the private sector needs the incentive of regulation before it starls taling public health emergencies seriously.46. Why is the obesity problem in Britain so difficult to solve?A) Goverment health budgets are depleted.B) People disagree as to who should do what.C) Individuals are not ready to take their responsibilties.D) Industry lobbying makes it hard to get healthy foods.47. What can we learmn from the past experience in tacking public health emergencies?A) Govemments have a role to play.B) Public health is a scientifc issue.C) Priority should be given to deprived regions.D) Businesses' responsility should be stressed.48. What does the author imply about some critics of bans and taxes concerning unhealthy drinks?A) They are not aware of the consequences of obesity.B) They have not come up with anything more constructive.C) They are uncomfortable with parliament's anti obesity debate.D) They have their own motives in opposing govermment regulation.49. Why does the author stress the relationship between poor health and inequality?A) To demonstrate the dilemma of people living in deprived areas.B) To bring to light the root cause of widespread obesity in Britain.C) To highlight the area deserving the most attention from the public.D) To justify govermment intervention in solving the obesity problem.50. When will govermment action be effective?A) When the polarised debate is abandoned.B) When ideological differences are resolved.C) When individuals have the incentive to act accordingly.D) When the private sector realises the severity of the crisis.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Home to virgin reefs, rare sharks and vast numbers of exotic fish, the Coral Sea is a unique haven of biodiversity off the northeastem coast of Australia. If a proposal by the Australian govemment goes ahead, the region will also become the world's largest marine protected area, with restrictions or bans on fishing, mining and marine farming.The Coral Sea reserve would cover almost 990 000 square kilometres and stretch as far as 1100 kilometres from the coast. Unveiled recently by environment minister Tony Burke，the proposal would be the last in a series of proposed marine reserves around Australia's coast.But the scheme is attracting criticism from scientists and conservation groups, who argue that the govemment hasn't gone far enough in protecting the Coral Sea, or in other marine reserves in the coastal network.HughPossingham,director of the Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions at the University of Queensland, points out that little more than half of the CoralSea reserve is proposed as“no take" area, in which all fishing would be banned. The world's largest existing marine reserve,established last year by the British govemment in the Indian Ocean, spans 554 000 km2 and is a no-take zone throughout. An alliance of campaigning conversation groups argues that more of the Coral Sea should receive this level of protection.“I would like to have seen more protection for coral reefs," says Tery Hughes, director of the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Queensland.“More than 20 of them would be outside the no-take area and vulnerable to catch- and-release fshing” .As Nature went to press, the Australian govemment had not responded to specifc criticisms of the plan. But Robin Beaman, a marine geologist at James Cook University, says that the reserve does“broadly protect the range of habitats”in the sea.“I can tes tify to the huge effort that govemment agencies and other organisations have put into trying to understand the ecological values of this vast area," he says. .Reserves proposed earlier this year for Australia's southwester and northwesterm coastal regions have also been criticised for failing to give habitats adequate protection. In August,173 marine scientists signed an open letter to the govemment saying they were“greatly concemed" that the proposals for the southwestem region had not been based on the“ core science principles”of reserves-the protected regions were not, for instance , representative of all the habitats in the region, they said.Critics say that the southwestem reserve offers the greatest protection to the offishore areas where commercial opportunities are fewest and where there is lttle threat to the environment,a contention also levelled at the Coral Sea plan.51. What do we learn from the passage about the Coral Sea?A) It is exceptionally rich in marine life.B) It is the biggest marine protected area.C) It remains largely undisturbed by humans.D) It is a unique haven of endangered species.52. What does the Australian govemment plan to do according to Tony Burke?A) Make a new proposal to protect the Coral Sea.B) Revise its conservation plan owing to criticisms.C) Upgrade the established reserves to protect marine life.D) Complete the series of marine reserves around its coast.53. What is scientists' argument about the Coral Sea proposal?A) The govemment has not done enough for marine protection.B) It will not improve the marine reserves along Australia's coast.C) The govemment has not consulted them in drawing up the proposal.D) It is not based on suffcient investigations into the ecological system.54. What does marine geologist Robin Beaman say about the Coral Sea plan?A) It can compare with the British govemment's effort in the Indian Ocean.B) It will result in the establishment of the world's largest marine reserve.C) It will ensure the sustainability of the fishing industry around the coast.D) It is a tremendous joint effort to protect the range of marine habitats.55. What do critics think of the Coral Sea plan?A) It will do more harm than good to the environment.B) It will adversely affect Australia's fishing industry.C) It will protect regions that actually require lttle protection.D) It will win lttle support from environmental organisations.Part IV Translation(30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allonwed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2020年9月英语六级考试试题第1套
2020年9月英语六级考试试题第1套全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big English TestOn September 12, 2020 I had to take a very big and important English test called the English Test for Mastery Level 6. It was a Saturday, which was weird because tests are usually on school days. My mom drove me to the test center really early in the morning before the sun was even up! The sign outside said "Linguistic Testing Center" which is a fancy way to say it's a place they give big language tests.When we went inside there were lots of other kids there too, pretty much all teenagers. We had to go through a metal detector scanner thingy first, like at the airport. I don't know why they make you do that for a test. Maybe to make sure nobody is cheating by bringing in secret notes or something?After we went through security, there was a big room with lots of small desks all facing the front. It reminded me of the cafeteria at school, except without the food and it was full of desks instead of tables. A nice lady showed me to my desk andgave me instructions about what to do. She talked about things like showing my ID, turning off my phone, and only using a pencil, not a pen. Simple stuff that they always tell you for tests.Then she passed out the test booklets. I wasn't allowed to open it until she said the official start time. When I finally got to look inside, I saw it was super thick! Like maybe 100 pages? My heart started beating really fast. There were four sections: Listening Comprehension, Linguistic Knowledge, Reading Comprehension, and Writing.For the Listening section, we had to put on headphones and listen to recordings of people talking. There were conversations between two people, lectures, and news reports. After each recording, there were multiple choice questions about what we had heard. Some of them were pretty tricky because the recordings would use idioms or phrases I wasn't familiar with. The speakers also talked sort of fast sometimes which made it hard to understand every single word they said.I felt okay about how I did on the Listening part, even though some of the questions stumped me. But then we moved on to the Linguistic Knowledge section which was brutal! It was all these random questions about English grammar rules, vocabulary, and even etymology. Like I'm supposed to knowwhere words came from originally? Who cares? Lots of questions asked me to identify errors in sentences. Some of them looked totally fine to me but I guess they had subtle mistakes. This section was my worst nightmare.Thank goodness we then got a break for lunch! I went outside and ate the sandwich and snacks my mom had packed for me. I was already exhausted and it wasn't even 1pm yet. I tried not to think about the test while I was eating.After lunch was the Reading Comprehension section. This part wasn't as bad. We had longer passages to read, mostly science-y or academic articles it seemed like. But the questions were still pretty challenging. A lot of them asked about the main ideas, writing styles, implications, or they gave statements and you had to say if they were true, false, or it couldn't be determined based on the information in the passage. The reading part took a really long time because the passages were so dense.Finally, it was the last section - Writing. We had two tasks for this part. First we had to read a short argument about some topic, and then write a response expressing our opinion and addressing the other writer's points. I wrote about whether high school students should be required to complete communityservice hours to graduate. I tried my best to structure my essay with clear opinions, evidence, explanations, and all that good stuff.The second writing task seemed easier to me. We just had to read a brief background statement, and then write a short composition related to the topic it introduced. I wrote a description of my favorite teacher and why she is so great at her job. Definitely way easier than having to take a stance and build an argument essay.After I turned in the Writing booklet, I was finally done! The whole testing session took about 4 hours I think. My brain felt like mush at the end. I couldn't wait to just go home and veg out.A bunch of kids stuck around in the waiting area because their parents hadn't arrived to pick them up yet. I was lucky my mom was one of the first ones there.In the car she asked me how it went. I just shrugged because I honestly had no idea if I did well or bombed it. The test was so long and covered such a wide range of English skills, from listening to writing to analyzing grammar. I did my best but some parts were just plain hard, especially that Linguistic Knowledge section. My mom said that's okay though, and thatshe's proud of me no matter what my score ends up being. I'll find out my results in a couple months.For now, I'm just relieved it's over! I'm definitely taking a break from any English practice or studying this weekend. In fact, I might not want to read, write, speak or hear any English at all for a little while after such an intense test. Maybe I'll just watch cartoons in another language to give my brain a rest. Although I do hope I scored high enough to be at the true "Mastery Level" as it's called. I guess we'll see! If not, there's always next year to try again. But let's not think about that yet!篇2The Big Grown-Up English TestLast week my sister took a super big English test called the CET-6. It's a really important test for college students who want to show they know a lot of English. My sister has been studying really hard for months to get ready!I don't start learning English until next year, but my sister let me look at some of the practice questions in her CET-6 books. There were reading passages about science, history, culture, and all kinds of other topics. The passages were really long with难词汇and复杂句子。

【网络综合版】听力：Section ALong Conversation OneM:You are a professor of Physics at the University of Oxford.You are a senior advisor at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.You also seem to tour the global tirelessly,giving talks. And in addition,you have your own weekly TV show On Science. Where do you get the energy?W:Oh,well.【Q1】I just love what I do.I am extremely fortunate to have this life,doing what I love doing.M:Professor,what exactly is your goal?Why do you do all of these?W:well,as you said,I do have different things going on.But these I think can be divided into【Q2】two groups:the education of science,and the further understanding of science.M:Don't these two things get in the way of each other?What I mean is,doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W:Not really,no.I love teaching,and I don’t mind spending more time doing that now than in the past.Also,what I will say is, that【Q3】teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself.I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly,when I have to aid others understanding it,and when I have to answer questions about it. Teaching at a high level can be very stimulating for anyone,no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field they are instructing.M:Are there any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon?A significant discovery or invention we can expect soon.W:【Q4】The world is always conducting science.And there're constantly new things being discovered.In fact,right now,we have too much data sitting in computers.For example,we havethousands of photos of planet Mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen.We have them,yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes,let alone analyze them.Q1:Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?Q2:What has the woman been engaged in?Q3:What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her?Q4:How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible?Section AConversation2M:Do you think dreams【Q5】have special meanings?W:No.I don't think they do.M:I don't either,but some people do.I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays.In the past,during the times of ancient Egypt,Greece or China,people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future.But today,with all the scientificknowledge that we have,I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W:My grandmother is superstitious,and she thinks dreams can predict the future.Once,【Q6】she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed.Can you guess what she did?She didn't take that flight.She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day.Instead,she took the same flight but a week later.And everything was fine of course.No plane ever crashed.M:How funny!Did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport?It's been statistically proven.People can be so irrational sometimes.W:Yes,absolutely.But,even if we think they are ridiculous,【Q7】emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M:Exactly.People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings.But in fact,some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day.I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, thingsthey wished would happen.【Q8】But in adults',dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W:Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bazaar as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Q5:What do both speakers think of dreams?Q6:Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?Q7:What does the woman say about people's emotions?Q8:What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults' dreams?Section BPassage1While some scientists explore the surface of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water--four kilometers beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice.Since then,they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water.How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet?“The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,”said Martin Siegert,a glaciologist from the university of Wales.In addition,geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake.The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok,closed off from the outside world for more than two million years.Anything found that will be totally alien to what’s on the surface of the earth,said Siegert.Scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination.Again,robots might be the solution.If all goes as planned,a drill-shift robot will melt through the surface ice.When it reaches the lake,it will release another robot that can swim in the lake,take pictures and look for signs of life.The scientists hope that discoveries will shed light on life in outer space,which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently closed-up pictures of Jupiter’s moon, Europa,shows signs of water beneath the icy surface.Once tested the Antarctic,robots could be set to Europa to search for life there,too.Q9:What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the1970s?Q10:What did scientists think about Lake Vostok?Q11:What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?Section BPassage2The idea to study the American Indian tribe–Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in1984when【Q12】he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who workedwith the tribes in Mexico.At first,the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate.He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language.But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras,Gonzalez agreed to help.【Q13】He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.Copeland says,thanks to him,the Tarahumaras understood what their mission was and started trusting us.【Q14】Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland,hemust strive two and half days from Huston Taxes.He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe’s men can’t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship.The Tarahumaras,who don’t believe any humiliating wealth,take the food and share among themselves.For Copeland,the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways.【Q15】“I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard,traditional life,which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,”he says,“I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other.”Q12:Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe--Tarahumaras?Q13:How did Gonzalez help James Copeland?Q14:What does the speaker say about James Copeland’s trip to the Tarahumaras village?Q15:What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?Section CRecording1What is a radical?It seems today that people are terrified of the term,particularly of having the label attach to them.【Q16】Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission,thereby,maintaining the existing state of affairs,and,more important,preserving the power of a select minority,who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon.The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media,and accusations of man-hating and radicalism.When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life.When faced with the threat of being labelled radical,women back down from their worthy calls and consequently,participate in their own oppression.It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of a stigma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled,and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power,without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die.To me,【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the existing state of affairs. On close inspection,it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving,and therefore,is not a constant entity.So why then,is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation?It all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who don't.In fact,when we look at the word"radical"in a historical context,nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time.Radicals are people who affect change.They are the people about whom history is written.Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals,【Q18】even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals.Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions,mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed.Of course,there are some radicals who've made a negative impact on humanity,【Q18】but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals.That beensaid,next time someone calls me a radical,I would accept that label with pride.Q16:What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?Q17:What is the speaker's definition of a radical?Q18:What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?Recording2We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us.For instance,you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps.We become part of our immediate environment.None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory.Fred takes histen-minute coffee break,but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says,“What’s the matter with you guys?”Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks.A month later,Fred takeshis half hour.Fred is saying“If you can’t be them,join them. Why should I work any harder than the next guy?”The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality.It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we’ve become accustomed to the nasty smells.Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people,and we learn about happiness.What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say,"That is going to take some effort.It may not be comfortable.I may offend some of my present company."Right,but it is your life. Fred may say,"I’m always broke,frequently depressed.I’m going nowhere and I never do anything exciting."Then we discover that Fred’s best friends are always broke,frequently depressed,going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting.This is not coincidence,nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred?However,if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life,the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.It’s no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health,because they spend their life around sick people.Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally,nine out of ten children whose parents smoke,smoke themselves.Obesity is in part an environmental problem.Successful people have successful friends,and so the story goes on.Q19What does the speaker say about us as human beings?Q20What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?Q21What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists?Section CLecture3Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance.Many can identify it by its sound or texture.But【Q22】few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful,important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other;【Q23】the exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret.Despite its weighty importance,the dollar bill actually weighs little.Itrequires nearly500bills to tip the scales at a pound.Not only is the dollar bill lightweight,but it also has a brief life span.Few dollar bills survive longer than18months.The word"dollar"is taken from the German word"taler,"the name for the world's most important currency in the16th century.The taler was a silver coin first minted in1518under the reign of Charles V,Emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency.When the Constitution was signed,people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.【Q24】Because of this lack of faith,the new American government minted only coins for common currency.Interest-bearing bank notes were issued at the same time,but their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises,such as American involvement in the War of1812.The first noninterest-bearing paper currency was authorized by Congress in1862,at the height of the Civil War.At this point, citizens'old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed,and the dollar bill was born.The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname"greenback."Today,the American dollar bill is a product of the Federal Reserve and is issued from the twelve Federal Reserve banks around the United States.The government keeps a steady supply of approximately two billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.【Q25】American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However,for the present,the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it,and little more.The only other guarantee on the bill is a Federal Reserve pledge of as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Q22:What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?Q23:What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?Q24:Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?Q25:What have generations of American politicians argued for?参考答案1.A)She can devote all her life to pursing her passion.2.D)Science education and scientific research.3.A)A better understanding of a subject.4.B)By making full use of the existing data.5.B)They have no special meanings.6.C)She dreamed of a plane crash.7.D)They can have an impact as great as rational thinking8.C)They reflect their complicated emotions.9.A)Radio waves.10.B)It may have micro—organisms living in it.11.D)Shed light on possible life in outer space.12.A)He found there had been little research on their anguage.13.D)He acted as an intermediary between Copel and the villagers.14.C)Laborious15.B)Their sense of sharing and caring.16.A)They tend to be silenced into submission.17.D)One who rebels against the existing social orser.18.C)They served as a driving force for progress.19.B)It is impossible for us to be immune from outside influence.20.D)Recognize the negative impact of his coworkers.21.A)They are quite susceptible to suicide.22.B)Few people can describe it precisely.23.C)It is a well—protected government secret.24.A)People had little faith in paper money.25.C)It is awell—protected government secret.翻译：《水浒传》(Water Margin)是中国文学四大经典小说之一。

You can start your essay with the sentence "Online dictionaries are becoming increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.参考范文：With the growing popularity of smartphones and the high coverage rate of wireless network, online dictionaries are becoming increasingly popular for students in daily study. It seems to be a trend that online dictionaries would replace paper ones. However, just as the saying goes, “different strokes for different folks.”Some students are more prone to use online dictionaries and have two points to support it. First, online dictionaries are more portable, and make it possible to look up any new words that we met anytime and anywhere only via a small phone in our hands. Second, we can improve both written and oral skills, as online dictionaries allow us to hear the native pronunciation of eachword clearly. Whereas others hold differently. They are still in favor of use print ones. For one thing, paper dictionaries can protect our eyesight better than online ones as digital devices may emit radiation if we watch the electronic screen for a long time. For another, using the print dictionary can prevent us from being distracted by reminders of irrelevant information.As far as I’m concerned, although the content of paper dictionaries is authoritative, its lexicon is not updated as quickly as online ones. After all, we live in an information age and can have access to many hot words on the Internet every day.【选词填空第1套】26. H integrate27. B coincidence28. A associated29. L recognizable30. I maximizes31.

Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Overall, men are more likely than women to make excuses. Several studies suggest that men feel the need to appear competent in all阜，while women wo可only about the skills in which they've invested工．压k a man and a woman to go diving for the first time, and the woman is likely to jump in, while the man is likely to say he's not feeling too well.Ironically, it is often success that leads people to flirt with failure. Praise won for _J巠_a skill suddenly pu岱one in the position of having eve rythin g to lose. Rather than putting their reputation on the line again, many successful people develop a handicap-chinking, 塑_,depression-that allows them to keep their status no matter what the future brings. An advertising executive _堕_for depression shortly after winning an award put it this way: "Without my depression, I'd be a failure now; with it, rm a success'on hold.'"In fact, the people most likely to become chronic excuse makers are those�with success. Such people are so afraid of being _塾_a failure at anything that they constantly develop one handicap or another in order to explain away failure.Though self-handicapping can be an effective way of coping with performance anxiety now and then, in the end, researchers say, it will lead to _£L. In the long run, excuse makers fail to live up to their true�and lose the status they care so much about.

And yet it can be hard to point toplaces where our education system is really making use of the latest砒uroscience(神经科学）findings. But there is one happy link where research is meeting practice: bilingual (双语的）education. "In the last 20 years or so, there's been a virtual explosion of research on bilingual, "says Judith Kroll, a professor at the University of California, Riverside.B)Again and again, researchers have found, "bilingualism is an experience that shapes our brain forlife, " in the words of Gigi Luk, an associate professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education.At the same time, one of the hottest trends in public schooling is what's often called dual-language or two-way immersion programs.C)Traditional programs for English-language learners, or ELLs, focus on assimilating studen岱intoEnglish as quickly as possible. Dual-language classrooms, by contrast, provide instruction across subjects to both English natives and English learners ,in both English and a target language. The goal is functional bilingualm and biliteracy for all students by middle school. New York City, North Carolina, Delaware, Ut.ah, Oregon and Washington state are among the places expanding duallanguage classrooms.D)The trend flies in the face of some of the culture wars of two decades ago, when advocates insistedon " E nglish first" education. Most famously, California passed Proposition 227 in 1998. It was intended to sharply reduce the amount of time that English-language learners spent in bilingual settings. Proposition 58, passed by California voters on November 8 ,largely reversed that decision, paving the way for a huge expansion of bilingual education in the state that has the largest population of English-language learners.E)Some of the insistence on English-first was fou n ded on research produced decades ago, in whichbilingual studen岱underperfo皿ed饥O彻l切gual(单语的）English speakers and had lower IQ scores. Today's scholars, like Ellen Bialystok at York University in Toronto, say that research was "deeply flawed. " " E arlier research looked at socially disadvantaged groups, " agrees Antonella Sorace at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. "This has been completely contradicted by recent research" that compares groups more similar to each other.F)So what does recent research say about the potential benefi岱of bilingual education? It turns outthat, in many ways, the real trick to speald.ng two languages consis岱in managing初t to speak one of those languages at a given moment一which is fundament.ally a feat of paying attention. Sa y i n g .. Goodbye" to mom and then "Gu砌四"to your teacher, or managing to ask for a crayo比仅加instead of a red叩u叨（蜡笔），requires skills called " i nhibition" and "啦k switching. " These skills are subse区of an ability called executive function.G)People who speak two languages often outperform monolinguals on general measures of executivefunction. " B ilinguals can pay focused attention without being distracted and also improve in the ability to switch from one task to another, " says Sorace.H)Do these same advantages benefit a child who begins learning a second language in kindergarteninstead of as a baby? We don't yet lmow. Patterns of language learning and language .use are complex. But Gigi Luk at Harvard cites at least one brain-imaging study on adolescen岱that shows similar changes in brain structure when compared with those who are bilingual from b血，even when they didn't begin practicing a second language in earnest before late childhood.I)Young children being raised bilingual have to follow social cues to figure out which language to use3 have demonstrated a head start on tests of perspective-taking and theory of mind-both of whichare fundamental social and emotional skills.J)About 10 percent of students in the Portland, Oregon public schools are assigned by lotter:y to duallanguage classrooms that offer instruction in Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin, 啦ngside English.Jem诅er Steele at American University conducted a four-year, random讫ed trial and found that these dual-language students outperformed their peers in English-reading skills by a full school-year's worth of learning by the end of middle school. Because the effects are found in reading, not in math or science where there were few_ differences, Steele suggests that learning two languages makes students more aware of how language works in general.K)The research of Gigi Luk at Harvard offers a slightly different explanation. She has recently done a small study looking at a group of 100 fourth-graders in Massachusetts who had s血lar reading scores on a standard test, but ve可different language experiences. Some were foreign-language dominant and others were English natives. Here's what's interesting. The students who were dominant in a foreign language weren't yet comfortably bilingual; they were just starting to learn English.Therefore, by de血tion,they had a much weaker English vocabulary than the native speakers. Yet they were just as good at interpreting a text. " This is ve可surprising," Luk says. " Y ou would expect the reading comprehension performance to mirror the vocabulary一酝it's a cornerstone of comprehension. "L)How did the foreign-language dominant speakers manage this feat? Well, Luk found, they also scored higher on tests of executive functioning. So, even though they didn't have huge mental dictionaries to draw on, they may have been great puzzle-solvers ,国ting into account higher-level concepts such as whether a single sentence made sense within an overall story line. They got to the same results as the monolinguals, by a different path.M)American public school classrooms as a whole are becoming more segregated by race and class.Dual-language programs can be an exception. Because they are composed of native English speakers deliberately placed together with recent immigrants, they tend to be more ethnically and economically balanced. And there is some evidence that this helps kids of all backgrounds gain comfort with diversity and different cultures.N)Several of the researchers also pointed out that, in bilingual education, non-English-dominant students and their families tend to feel that their home language is heard and valued, compared witha classroom where the home language is left at the door in favor of English. This can improvestudents'sense of belonging and increase parents'involvement in their children's education, including behaviors like reading to children. " Many parents fear their language is an o氐伐cle,a problem, and if they abandon it their child will integrate better," says Antonella Sorace of the University of Edinburgh. "We tell them they're not doing their child a favor by giving up their language."0)One theme that was striking in speaking to all these researchers was just how strongly theyadvocated for dual-language classrooms. Thomas and Collier have advised many school systems on how to expand their dual-language progn皿s,and Sorace runs " Bilingualism Matters, "an international network of researchers who promote bilingual education projec岱.This type of advocacy among scientis岱is unusual; even more so because the "bilingual advantage hypothesis" is being challenged once again.P)A review of studies published last year found that cognitive advan组ges failed to appear in 83 percent of published studies, though in a separate analysis, the sum of effec岱was still significantly positive.One potential explanation offered by the researchers is that advantages that are measurable in the very young and very old tend to fade when testing young adul岱at the peak of their cognitive powers. And, they countered that no neg啦ve effec区of bilingual education have been found. So, even if the advan组ges are small, they are still worth it. Not to mention one obvious, outst.anding fact: "Bilingual children can speak two languages! "36.A study found that there are similar changes in brain structure between those who are bilingual frombirth and those who start learning a second language later.37.Unlike tradi廿onal monolingual programs, bilingual classrooms aim at developing students'ability touse two languages by middle school.38.A study showed that dual-language students did significantly better than their peers in readingEnglish texts.39.About twenty years ago, bilingual practice was strongly discouraged, especially in California.40.Ethnically and economically balanced bilingual classrooms are found to be helpful for kids to getused to social and cultural diversity.41.Researchers now claim that earlier research on bilingual education was seriously flawed.42.According to a researcher, dual-language experiences exert a lifelong influence on one's brain.43.Advocates of bilingual education argued that it produces positive effects though they may be liinited.44.Bilingual speakers often do better than monolinguals in completing certain tasks because they canconcentrate better on what they are doing.45.When their native language is used, parents can become more involved in their children's education.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by so加questions or U对inished statements. For each of them酝e are four choices血rked A), B), C) andD) .You shoul,d, decide on the best choice a叫m,ark the corresponding屈阮on A邱werSheet 2 with a sing比line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are b邸ed on the following p邸S码e.It is not controversial to say that an unhealthy diet causes bad health. Nor are the basic elements of healthy eating disputed. Obesity raises susceptibility to cancer, and Britain is the s血most obese country on Earth. That is a public health emergency. But naming the problem is the easy part. No one disputes the costs in quality of life and depleted health budgets of an obese population, but the quest for solutions gets diverted by ideological arguments江ound responsibility and choice. And the water is muddied by lobbying from the industries that profit from consumption of obesity-inducing products.Historical precedent sugges岱that science and politics can overcome resistance from businesses that pollute and poison but it takes time, and success often starts small. So it is heartening to note that a programme in Leeds has achieved a reduction in childhood obesity, becoming the first UK city to reverse a fattening trend. The best resul讫were among younger children and in more deprived areas. When 28% of English children aged two to 15 are obese, a national shift on the scale achieved by Leeds would lengthen hundreds of thousands of lives. A significant factor in the Leeds experience appears to be a scheme called HENRY, which helps paren岱reward behaviours that prevent obesity in children.Many members of parliament are uncomfortable even with their own government's anti-obesity strategy, since it involves a "sugar tax" and a ban on the sale of energy drinks to under-16s. Bans and taxes can be blunt instruments, but their harshest critics can rarely suggest better methods. These critics just oppose regulation i岱elf.The relationship between poor health and inequality is too pronounced for governmen岱to be passive about large-scale inteIVention. People living in the most deprived areas are four times more prone to die from avoidable causes than counterparts in more affluent places. As the structural nature of public health problems becomes harder to ignore, the complaint about overprotective government loses potency.In fact, the polarised·debate over public health interventions should have been abandoned long ago. Government action works when individuals are motivated to respond. Individuals need governmen岱that expand access to good choices. The HENRY programme was delivered in part through children's centres. Closing such centres and cutting council budge岱doesn't magically increase reserves of individual self-reliance. The function of a well心designed晔te intervention is not to deprive people of liberty but to build social c叩acity and infrastructure that helps people take responsibility for theirwellbeing. The obesity crisis will not have a solution devised by leit or right ideology--but experience indicates that the private sector needs the incentive of regulation before it starts taking public health emergencies seriously.46.Why is the obesity problem in Britain so difficult to solve'?A)Government health budgets are depleted.B)People disagree as to who should do what.C)Individuals are not ready to take their re sponsibilities.D)Industry lobbying m吐es it hard to get healthy foods.47.What can we learn from the past experience in tackling public health emergencies?A)Governments have a role to play.B)Public health is a scientific issue.C)Priority should be given to deprived regions.D)Businesses'responsibility should be stressed.48.What does the author imply about some critics of bans and taxes concerning unhealthy drinks?A)They are not aware of the consequences of obesity.B)They have not come up with anything more constructive.C)They are uncomfortable with parliament's anti-obesity debate.D)They have their own motives in opposing government regulation.49.Why does the author stress the relationship between poor health and ine q uality?A)To demonstrate the dilemma of people living in deprived areas.B)To bring to light the root cause of widespread obesity in Bri呻．C)To highlight the area deserving the most attention from the public.D)To justify government inteivention in solving the obesity problem.60.When will government action be effective?A)When the polarised debate is abandoned.B)When ideological differences are resolved.C)When individuals have the incentive to act accordingly.D)When the private sector realises the severity of the crisis.P邸sage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the follow血pas�e.Home to virgin reefs, rare sharks and vast numbers of exotic fish, the Coral Sea is a皿que haven of biodiversity off the northeastern coast of Australia. If a proposal by the Australian government goes ahead, the region w出also become the world's largest marine protected area, with restrictions or bans on fishing, mining and m呻e farming.The Coral Sea reseive would cover almost 990 000 square kilometres and stretch as far as 1 100 kilometres from the coast. Unveiled re cently by environment minister Tony Burke, the proposal would be the last in a series of proposed marine reseives around Australia's coast.But the scheme is attracting criticism from scientists and conseivation groups, who argue that the government hasn't gone far enough in protecting the Coral Sea, or in other marine reseives in the coastal network.Hugh Possingham, director of the Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions at the University of Queensland, poin岱out that little more than half of the Coral Sea reseive is proposed as "no take" area, in which all fishing would be banned. The world's largest existing marine reseive, es灿lished last year by the British government in the Indian Ocean, spans 654 000 km2 and is a no-take zone throughout. An alliance of campaigning conversation groups argues that more of the Coral Sea should receive this level of protection."I would like to have seen more protection for coral reefs, " says Terry Hughes, director of the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Queensland. "More than 20 of them would be ou区ide the no-take area and vulnerable to catch-and-release fishing".As Nature went to press, the Australian government had not responded to specific criticisms of theplan. But Robin Beaman, a matine geologist at J ames Cook University, says that the reserve does "broadly pro比ct the range of habitats" in the sea. " I can testify to the huge effort that government agencies and other organisations have put into trying to understand the ecological values of this vast area," he says.Reserves proposed earlier this year for Australi昨southwestern and northwestern coastal regions have also been criticised for failing to give habitats adequate protection. In August, 173 marine scientists signed an open letter to the government saying they were "greatly concerned,, that the proposals for the southwestern region had not been based on the " core science principles" of reserves-the protected regions were not, for instance, representative of all the habitats in the region, they said.Critics say that the southwes比rn reserve offers the greatest protection to the offshore·areas where commercial opportunities are fewest and where there is little threat to the environment, a con忱ntion also levelled at the Coral Sea plan.51.What do we learn from the passage about the Coral Sea?A)It is exceptionally rich in marine life.B)It is the biggest marine pro比啦d area.C)It remains largely undisturbed by humans.D)It is a unique haven of endangered species.52.What does the Australian government plan to do according to Tony Burke?A)Make a new proposal to pro比ct the Coral Sea.B)Revise its conserv啦on plan owing to criticisms.C)Upgrade the established reserves to pro比ct marine life.D)Comple比the series of·marme reserves around its coast.53.What is scientists'argument about the Coral Sea proposal?A)The government has not done enough for marine protection.B)It will not improve the marine reseives along Australia's coast.C)The government has not consulted them in dra咖g up the proposal.D)It is not based on sufficient investigations into the ecological system.54.What does ma r ine geologist Robin Beaman say about the Coral Sea plan?A)It can compare with the British government's effort in the Indian Ocean.B)It will result in the establishment of the world's largest marine reseive.C)It w诅ensure the sustainability of the fishing industry around the coast.D)It is a tremendous joint effort to protect the range of marine habitats.55.What do critics think of the Coral Sea plan?A)It w山do more hann than good to the environment.B)It will adversely affect Australia's fishing industry.C)It will pro忱ct regions that actually require little protection.D)It will win little support from environmental organisations.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: 氏r this part, you are吵wed30 m切utes to translate a passage from Chinese i九to 晌lish.You should write your a叩窃onA邱wer Sheet 2.《酉避记》(J o urn ey to the W est)也许是中国文学四大经典小说中最具影响力的一部，当然也是在国外最广为人知的一部小说。
2020年大学英语六级考试第1卷真题及答案
Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of team spirit and communication in the workplace. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.___________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________Part Ⅰ WritingThe Importance of Team Spirit and Communication in the WorkplaceAs the saying goes, when teamwork kicks in, nobody can beat you. It highlights the critical role that team spirit plays in completing a task. In my view, team spirit and communication are especially important in the workplace.First of all, with the increasingly fierce competition between enterprises, in order to achieve the desired results, cooperation and communication among colleagues are particularly important because they can maximize work efficiency. Secondly, promoting team spirit and communication at work can ensure that everyone understand where the company is going and get them all actively involved in the development of the company. Thirdly, cooperation and communication at work can enhance the interaction between coworkers and form good interpersonal relationships, which is essential to build a friendly, cooperative, and harmonious working atmosphere in the enterprise culture.To conclude, we cannot deny that it is almost always the joint efforts of a whole team that decide the success or failure of a project. Therefore, for everyone in the workplace, we should learn to cooperate and communicate effectively with team members, so as to achieve a win-win situation.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraphmore than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The best Retailers Combine Bricks and ClicksA) Retail profits are falling sharply. Stores are closing. Malls are emptying. The depressing stories just keep coming. Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macy's, Nordstorm, and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit. The internet is apparently taking down yet another industry. Brick and mortar stores (实体店) seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, the Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.B) But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. Looking only at that 15.2 percent "surge" would be misleading. It was an increase that was on a small base of 6.9 percent. Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.C) More than 20 years after the internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016. Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015 and 2016.D) So, despite all the talk about drone (无人机) deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing anxiety over consumers going online, and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a "huge antitrust problem," the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Of course, the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. What's the real story?E) Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble. The retail industry is getting "reinvented," as we describe in our new book Matchmarkers. It's standing in the path of what Schumpeter called a gale (大风) of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As theCFO of Macy's put it recently, "We're frankly scratching our heads."F) But it's not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retail was one of these industries the internet was going to kill—and quickly. The dot. com bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, conventional retailers' confidence in the future increased as Census continued do report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.G) It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn't a simple battle to the death between bricks and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.H) More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep, Apple's massivelysuccessful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon's small steps in the same direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to mention the large number of creative new retailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.I) Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and it's also not happening on what used to be called "Internet Time." Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly, of course. Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely anticipated changes weren't quick, and some haven't really started. With the benefit of hindsight (后见之明), it looks like the internet will transform the economy at something like the pace of other great inventions like electricity. B2B commerce, for example, didn't move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that doesn't mean it won't do so over the next few decades.J) But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though it hasn't beenaccompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online and therefore don't need to go to as many stores to find what they want. There's a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds, which is one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.K) The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new level of complexity to the process of retail reinvention. Even five years ago most people faced a choice. Sit at your computer, probably at home or at the office, search and browse, and buy. Or head out to the mall, or Main Street, look and shop, and buy. Now, just about everyone has a smartphone, connected to the internet almost everywhere almost all the time. Even when a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store, she can easily see if there's a better deal online or at another store nearby.L) So far, the main thing many large retailers have done in response to all this is to open online stores, so people will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller online rivals. Many are having the same problem that newspapers have had. Even if they getonline traffic, they struggle to make enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline. M) A few seem to be making this work. Among large traditional retailers, Walmart recently reported the best results, leading its stock price to surge, while Macy's, Target, and Nordstorm's dropped. Yet Walmart'syear-over-year online sales only grew 7 percent, leading its CEO to lament (哀叹), "Growth here is to slow." Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazon field the one-click patent, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions. A recent study graded more than 600 internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and pay. Almost half of the sites didn't get a passing grade and only 18 percent got an A or B.N) The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data. Unfortunately, part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable. Our deep look into those data and their preparation revealed serious problems. It seems likely that Census simply misclassifies a large chunk of online sales. It is certain that the Census procedures, which lump theonline sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart with "non-store retailers" like food trucks, can mask major changes in individual retail categories. The bureau could easily present their data in more useful ways, but they have chosen not to.O) Despite the turmoil, brick and mortar won't disappear any time soon. The big questions are which, if any, of the large traditional retailers will still be on the scene in a decade or two because they have successfully reinvented themselves, which new players will operate busy stores on Main Streets and maybe even in shopping malls, and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in each retail category. Investors shouldn't write off brick and mortar. Whether they should bet on the traditional players who run those stores now is another matter.36. Although online retailing has existed for some twenty years, nearly half of the internet retailers still fail to receive satisfactory feedback from consumers, according to a recent survey.M37. Innovative retailers integrate internet technologies with conventional retailing to create new retailmodels.G38. Despite what the Census data suggest, the value of physical retail's stocks has been dropping.D39. Internet-driven changes in the retail industry didn't take place as quickly as widely anticipated.I40. Statistics indicate that brick and mortar sales still made up the lion's share of the retail business.C41. Companies that successfully combine online and offline business models may prove to be a big concern for traditional retailers.H42. Brick and mortar retailers' faith in their business was strengthened when the dot. com bubble burst.F 43. Despite the tremendous challenges from online retailing, traditional retailing will be here to stay for quite some time.O44. With the rise of online commerce, physical retail stores are like to suffer the same fate as the yellow pages.A45. The wide use of smartphone has made it more complex for traditional retailers to reinvent their business.KSection 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.Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) will be "either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity", and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the future of intelligence as "crucial to the future of our civilisation and our species".Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Inteelgence (LCFI) at Cambridge University, a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of the open-ended questions raised by the rapid pace of development in AIresearch. "We spend a great deal of time studying history," Hawking said, "which, let's face it, is mostly the history of stupidity. So it's a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence." While the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI, rising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a will of its own, he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring. "The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge," he said. "We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI. Perhaps with the tools of this new technological revolution, we will be able to undo some of the damage done to the natural world by the last one—industrialisation. And surely we will aim to finally eradicate disease and poverty. And every aspect of our lives will be transformed. In short, success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation."Huw Price, the centre's academic director and the Bertrand Russell professor of philosophy at CambridgeUniversity, where Hawking is also an academic, said that the centre came about partially as a result of the university's Centre for Existential Risk. That institute examined a wider range of potential problems for humanity, while the LCFI has a narrow focus.AI pioneer Margaret Boden, professor of cognitive science at the University of Sussex, praised the progress of such discussions. As recently as 2009, she said, the topic wasn't taken seriously, even among AI researchers. "AI is hugely exciting," she said, "but it has limitations, which present grave dangers given uncritical use."The academic community is not alone in warning about the potential dangers of AI as well as the potential benefits. A number of pioneers from the technology industry, most famously the entrepreneur Elon Musk, have also expressed their concerns about the damage that a super-intelligent AI could do to humanity.46. What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?A) It would be vital to the progress of human civilisation.B) It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.C) It might present challenges as well as opportunities.D) It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.47. What did Hawking say about the creation of the LCFI?A) It would accelerate the progress of AI research.B) It would mark a step forward in the AI industry.C) It was extremely important to the destiny命运of humankind.D) It was an achievement of multi-disciplinary collaboration.48. What did Hawking say was a welcome change in AI research?A) The shift of research focus from the past to the future.B) The shift of research from theory to implementation.C) The greater emphasis on the negative impact of AI.D) The increasing awareness of mankind's past stupidity.49. What concerns did Hawking raise about AI?A) It may exceed human intelligence sooner or later.B) It may ultimately over-amplify the human mind.C) Super-intelligence may cause its own destruction.D) Super-intelligence may eventually ruin mankind.50. What do we learn about some entrepreneurs企业家from the technology industry?A) They are much influenced by the academic community.B) They are most likely to benefit from AI development.C) They share the same concerns about AI as academics.D) They believe they can keep AI under human control. Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups (初创公司) want in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the country's largest owner of retirement communities, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days,show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.That's what brought Dayle Rodriguez, 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startup's product, SentabTV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control."It's nothing new, it's nothing too complicated and it's natural because lots of people have TV remotes," says Rodriguez.But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room. Instead, Rodriguez solicits residents' advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong (麻将).Rodriguez says it's important that residents here don't feel like he's selling them something. "I've had morefeedback in a passive approach," he says. "Playing pool, playing cards, having dinner, having lunch," all work better "than going through a survey of question. When they get to know me and to trust me, knowing for sure I'm not selling them something—there'll be more honest feedback from them."Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale's 1, 100 senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themselves.Mary Lou Busch, 93, agree to try the Sentab system. She tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her."I have the computer and FaceTime, which I talk with my family on," she explains. She also has an iPad and a smartphone. "So I do pretty much everything I need to do."To be fair, if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more technophobic (害怕技术的) seniors, he might haveended up in the wrong Brookdale community. This one is located in the heart of Southern California's aerospace corridor. Many residents have backgrounds in engineering, business and academic circles.But Rodriguez says he's still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: "People are more tech-proficient than we thought." And besides, where else would he learn to play mahjong?51. What does the passage say about the startups创业?A) They never lose time in upgrading products for seniors.B) They want to have a share of the seniors' goods market.C) They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.D) They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.52. Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to ______.A) have an interview with potential customersB) conduct a survey of retirement communitiesC) collect residents' feedback on their productsD) show senior residents how to use IT products53. What do we know about SentabTV?A) It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.B) It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.C) It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.D) It is a communication system via TV instead of a computer.54. What does Rodriguez say is important in promoting products?A) Winning trust from prospective customers.B) Knowing the likes and dislikes of customers.C) Demonstrating their superiority on the spot.D) Responding promptly to customer feedback.55. What do we learn about the seniors in the Brookdale community?A) Most of them are interested in using the Sentab.。

We care about the food safety, the money we can earn, the health of the people around us and the apperence of us, namely beauty. Talking about beauty, ideas may differ from person to person.

This saying reveals the enormous influence of acting in time on our future. The importance of doing our best today is beyond doubt, Ironically, it is easier said than done.How we can focus best on today is a thought-provoking question. The following methods need to be taken into consideration. Firstly, such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to dream about the great tomorrow instead of doing what they need to do at the moment, which is absolutely mistaken. What we should clearly know is that it’s impossible for us to enjoy a better future without today’s hardworking. It might also be noted that it is the elaborate plans that can prompt us to finish what we should do today. Making plans should be a necessary habit in this completive and rapidly changing society. The last methods to be taken seriously is that the more we learn from other experienced and successful people, the more easily we can pay attention to the present and be down-to-earth and strive for practical results in our work Instead of going for ostentation.Considering every method that has been discussed above, we can agree with the idea that it is high time that we took effective actions todo our best today. If we work on it from now on, in the near future, we will not be regretted for what we haven’t done today.参考范文2：As the old saying goes “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”, it is the gems of wisdom from generation to generation. The saying still inspires a lot of people nowadays. By the proverb, we can know the significance of preparations in advance. The implication of the saying can be illustrated by the following evidences. First, doing our best today means that it is necessary for us to work hard and finish all tasks which should be completed today. Only when we take advantage of the present, can we have a better tomorrow. As we all know, “Opportunity prefers the prepared mind”. In addition, we can make full use of today because it is under our control, compared with tomorrow that is never controllable and predictable. Just as you want to make great progress in your learning, you have to start from today to study hard.To sum up, today is the foundation of tomorrow; therefore, it is highly suggested that we should grasp chances from today and make full preparations for tomorrow.参考范文3：The old saying goes that “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing best today.”, which means that present action means much in our dailylife. However, a flood of people are ignoring its importance and emphasizing on the current pleasure. As for me, it is suggested that great significance should be paid to the importance of doing best today.To be more specific, doing best today needs us to set an aim for the tomorrow. We fail to deny that without the motivation from the aim or the deadline, most of people are more likely to put things off till tomorrow. It is the human’s nature of laziness that hinders people’s steps to make preparation for the future. In addition, doing best today might enable people equipped with possibility to grasp the opportunities and overcome the unpredictable challenges. When confronted with the uncontrollable factors from the tomorrow, people with a prepared mind will win the success and embrace the victory. From what we have discussed above, a safe conclusion will be drawn that seizing today and preparing for tomorrow is the best option for us.。

2020年9月英语六级作文真题答案：第一套
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
In modern society, external beauty is more favorable since people with attractive appearance get more implicit benefits, which has triggered a controversy as to the importance of inner beauty and outer beauty. People from different walks of life hold various opinions on this topic, among which there goes a well-known saying: "Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty", intending to encourage people to pursue internal beauty rather than going blindly after physical appearance.
I strongly support this idea. There are two contributory reasons for my decision. Above all, it can benefit our society in that it is the good qualities like integrity, honesty and warm heart, which inner beauty boasts, that facilitate the development of the entire society. Moreover, everyone should try to be kind and understanding. Without a kind heart, people will grow indifferent and gradually they will make no contribution both to their family and to the society. They will probably lead an empty life too.
From my perspective, it is crucial that modern education should encourage people to look highly of inner beauty instead of superficial attractiveness. Also, it is high time that people understood the real meaning and value of being beautiful. Only in this way can they achieve a balanced and meaningful life.。
