2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题答案(第二套)
2017年12月英语六级考试真题答案（第二套）Part I Writing范文"Seek to understand others,and you will be understood"The enlightenment of this saying is not lost in our era but unwilling to understand others seems prevalent. The implication of this message is that people can understand each other as long as they try to do this first;there are,in fact,many who get understood by others because they manage to understand others first.There are several factors to be taken into account when we agree on“seek to understand others,and will be understood”:One reason is that trying to understand others can show your kindness to others.Other people would be thankful,so it is easier for them to accept your ideas.On the other hand,it will let you think what other people think so that you can get to know them better.Therefore,your ideas would have a greater chance to be understood.When we seek to understand others,we elevate the goodwill and team-work spirit.There is a stimulative effect that kicks in when people share this spirit.By seeking to understand others,we boost opportunity for fulfilling understanding between each other.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ALong Conversation11.【答案】C.They

六级阅读真题解析及备考建议
六级阅读真题解析及备考建议作者：纪军来源：《新东方英语》2017年第11期阅读在整个六级考试中占有举足轻重的地位，该部分的正确率将直接影响考生能否通过考试或取得理想的成绩。
新改革后的六级考试，阅读理解部分要求考生在40分钟左右完成三大类题型，分值比例占总分的35%。
根据笔者多年的教学经验，考生在阅读部分普遍得分率低，答题耗时较长，复习、备考相对盲目。
下面笔者将结合2017年6月六级考试三套真题中的典型题目，对阅读部分逐一进行分析和小结。
选词填空六级阅读选词填空虽然也是一种完形填空，但却不同于传统的“四选一”题型。
该题型是在一篇长度为250～300词的文章中挖出10个空，要求考生从备选的15个单词中选出10个合适的词填入文中空格处，使短文恢复完整通顺，每个备选词只能选一次。
而在实际考试中，大多数考生都会面临两大难题：一是不认识选项，二是认识却不会选。
其实，六级阅读选词填空的考查重点是词性和语法。
谈及词性搭配，大多数考生都熟知：形容词修饰名词，副词既修饰动词也修饰形容词。
通常情况下，副词选项比较少，因此考生可以优先选择副词搭配题来完成。
比如今年6月六级第二套真题中的第28题：“After all，the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is ‘very important’ has fallen 28 in the last 5～6 years.”该空格位于不及物动词fallen之后，而本句的主语（the percentage of Americans）和谓语（has fallen）等关键成分都齐全，所以考生可以据此判断空格处应填入副词。
15个备选选项中，副词有三个：A） accurately、E） drastically和N）simultaneously。
其中，选项A和选项N不符合句意，因此选项E （急剧地）为正确答案。
接下来，考生可以选做形容词搭配题。

2017年12月大学英语六级真题及答案解析(全三套)
2017年12月大学英语六级真题及答案解析（全三套）六级听力第一套：Section AConversation 1M: And now, for the lighter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste.W: That’s right John. This week the Italian government pass legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New laws have been put into place that would make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who are in need.M: Yes. And in addition to this, businesses would now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste.W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, the European Parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste.M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations.W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United States, up to forty percent of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government.M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a spokesperson fromHarvard University’s Food Law and Policy Clinic for more on the story. And now, let’s welcome Prof. Edward Becker to speak to us.Q1: What does the woman say about the new laws in Italy?Q2: What did the European Parliament do reduce food waste?Q3: What has the French government done recently?Q4: What is the major cause of food waste in the United States?Q1.

I was in your store this past weekend and bought a few items. Yesterday, my friend told me that the annual anniversary sales had begun. It turned out she bought the same sweater as I did but for a much lower price.M: Yes. Our anniversary sale started on Monday. We do offer price adjustments within seven days of purchase to ensure our customer satisfaction. You said you did the purchase here this past weekend?W: Yes. I was shopping in your store last Sunday afternoon.M: That would definitely fall within the price adjustment window. Do you have an account with us? We can credit your account directly with the difference if you wish. Otherwise we can send a gift card by mail if you prefer.W: Crediting my account would be wonderful. Thank you. Now that you mention there's a sale going on, I do remember a dress I quite like when I was in the shop on Sunday. Is it on offer as well?M: Yes, ma'am. All the new arrivals are 15-20% off. In addition to the sale, we're running a promotion for complimentary tailoring if you need it.W: That's a good news. The dress really caught my eye but I did have some concerns about the length.

They’re thin, tall, long-legged and virtually unlike any real human being. Although over the years Barbie has had more than 180 different careers-including football coach, sign language teacher, ambassador, president and astronaut–her body shape hasn’t changed much.Last year Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls, added some Barbies to its line that have different skin tones and hair textures. There are now Barbies with one of seven skin tones, 22 eye colours and 24 hair styles to choose from. Last year Mattel also gave Barbie a flat foot, rather than forcing her to be “in heels” all the time like the original Barbie is.Now they are introducing new Barbies with three slightly different body shapes while the original, tall and thin Barbies will continue to be sold.In a statement on its website, the company says it wants Barbies to look more like real people, and to give girls everywhere infinitely more ways to spark their imagination and play out their stories.Although many people say the new Barbies are a step in the right direction, some people say they don’t go far enough. They say that the new body shapes could be even more different from the original, tall, thin Barbies.Sales of Barbie dolls have been falling “every year since 2012,” according to CBC News.The toys aren’t in stores yet but they will be sold online at the Barbie website, starting this week, for $9.99.Q9. What do we know about the original Barbie dolls?Q10. Why do some people feel unsatisfied with the new Barbie dolls?Q11. Where will the new Barbie dolls be sold first?Q9. A. They are thin, tall, and unlike real human beings.Q10. D. Their body shapes have not changed much.Q11. C. On the Internet.Passage 2The earliest printed book we know today appeared in China in the year 868, and metal type was in use in Korea at the beginning of the fifteenth century, but it was in Germany around the year 1450 that a printing press using movable metal type was invented.Capitalism turned printing from an invention into an industry. Right from the start, book printing and publishing were organized on capitalist lines. 'The biggest sixteenth- century printer, Plantin of Antwerp, had twenty-four printing presses and employed more than a hundred workers. Only a small fraction of the population was literate, but the production of books grew at an extraordinary speed. By 1500 some twenty million volumes had already been printed.The immediate effect of printing was to increase the circulation of works that were already popular in the handwritten form, while less popular works went out of circulation. Publishers were interested only in books that would sell fairly quickly in sufficient numbers to cover the costs of production and make a profit. Thus, while printing enormously increased access to books by making cheap, high-volume production possible, it also reduced choice.The great cultural impact of printing was that it facilitated the growth of national languages. Most early books were printed in Latin, but the market for Latin was limited, and in its pursuit of larger markets the book trade soon produced translations into the national languages emerging at the time. Printing indeed played a key role in standardizing and stabilizing these languages by fixing them in print, and producing dictionaries and grammar books.Q12. What happened in Germany around the year of 1450?Q13. What does the speaker say about the printer, Plantin of Antwerp?Q14. What was the immediate effect of printing?Q15. What was the great cultural impact of printing?Q12. A) Movable metal type began to be used in printing.Q13. B) It was the biggest printer in the 16th century.Q14. B) It boosted the circulation of popular works.Q15. D) It promoted the growth of national languages.Section CRecording OneYou dream about being a movie star. You live in a big house in Hollywood, go to the Oscars every year, and win. You will be rich and famous. Wait a minute. You also hate having your photos taken and you are very shy. So how could you ever become a movie star? Choosing a right career can be hard. Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what they want to do with their lives and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine. But others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate. Your working life lasts in average 40 years, so it’s important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about.Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this. The Australian website WWW. Careers online. com, compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. The site suggests you should do the same with your career. Find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best. If you are not a romantic person, you won’t want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. Finally, decide how to get movie tickets and find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work and how to get a job in that profession.So, how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions, certain life experiences. Have you travelled overseas? Do you have any extra certificates at your degree? Such as the first aid license, for example. Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats will probably never become an animal doctor. Flight attendants, firefighters and police officers have to be over a certainheight and be physically fit. Your personality matters too. Are you outgoing or shy? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of team work might not suit you.Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought. However, when you know you can look forward to working in your dream job, you will be glad you thought it through.16. What does the speaker say about many college graduates?17. What does the Australia website suggest you do first to find a suitable job?18. What should you think about when you look for the right job according to the Australian website?16.D) They choose a job without thinking it through.17.B) Find out what job choices are available.18.A) The qualifications you have.Recording 2Kwanzaa is a cultural festival, during which African-American celebrate and reflect upon their rich heritage as the products of the two worlds.

12月大学英语六级阅读最后冲刺试题及答案2017年12月大学英语六级阅读最后冲刺试题及答案A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017年12月大学英语六级阅读最后冲刺试题及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Nowadays,leaders the world over are busy mapping out blueprints for a new age with environmental protection high on their agenda. Sustainable development hits headlines almost every day. It is of utmost importance to restore the harmonious balance between man and nature,given the damage we've already done to it.First of all, we must realize that man and nature are interactive.T o begin with, we derive everything fromnature. Among other things,I'm sure you've all tasted natural produce that is otherwise known as green food. And you must have noticed that nearly all beautifying products boast of being natural creams,natural lotions or natural gels. For man,nature has an irresistible appeal.But on the other hand we must also realize that nature can be unruly.Nature is indeed like a riddle,some areas of which are beyond the reach of science and technology,at least in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless,the advancement of science and technology will still characterize the next millennium. The coming new age will provide many opportunities,but it will be likewise run of challenges. For instance,United Nations'demographers predict that global population could soar from its current 5.9 billion to as many as 11.2 billion by 2050.This will aggravate the current scarcity of natural resources caused by environmentaldegradation.More conflicts over this scarcity may occur with the ghost of nuclear wars always hiding in the background. T o prevent this nightmare from coming true,governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do toachieve the harmony between man and nature. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do.Can we all be economical with food,water,electricity or other resources? Can we,or rather,some greedy ones among us,stop making rare plants and animals into delicious dishes? Can we stop using the unrecyclable style of lunch boxes? If not,one day they may bury us in an ocean of white rubbish.After all,the earth is not a dustbin;it's our common home.1."Green food"is a name we give to______________________.2.Beautifying products boast of being natural because___________________.3.What will the next millennium be characteristic of,according to the author?4.The current scarcity of natural resources will be aggravated by_______________.5.If we don't give up using the unrecyclable lunch boxes,they may accumulate to be__________________.答案：1.[natural produce][定位]根据green food查找到第2段第3句。

2017年12月英语六级第三套阅读解析
2017年12月英语六级第三套阅读解析The December 2017 administration of the College English Test (CET-6) in China included a reading comprehension section with three passages and corresponding questions. This essay will provide a detailed analysis of the content and structure of this reading section to help students better prepare for future CET-6 exams.The first passage in the reading section was an informative text about the history and development of the Chinese tea culture. The passage began by tracing the origins of tea cultivation in ancient China, noting that tea has been an integral part of Chinese society for over 2,000 years. It then discussed how tea drinking evolved from a elite pastime to a more widespread cultural phenomenon, as new tea cultivation and preparation techniques were developed over the centuries.The passage highlighted key milestones in the spread of tea culture such as the Tang Dynasty when tea houses became popular gathering places and the Song Dynasty when the practice of tea ceremonies emerged. It also explored how tea cultivation techniqueswere improved to produce higher quality teas that were in high demand both domestically and for international export. Overall, the passage provided a comprehensive overview of the rich history and evolution of tea culture in China.The reading comprehension questions that followed this passage tested students' understanding of the main ideas and supporting details presented. For example, one question asked students to identify the key factors that contributed to the increasing popularity of tea drinking in ancient China. Another question required students to explain the significance of the developments in tea cultivation and preparation techniques during the Song Dynasty. Students needed to carefully read the passage and extract the relevant information to answer these questions accurately.The second passage in the reading section was a argumentative essay discussing the benefits of learning a second language. The passage began by acknowledging the challenges and difficulties that come with learning a new language, but then went on to argue that the advantages of bilingualism far outweigh these difficulties.The key points made in the passage include how learning a second language can enhance cognitive abilities, improve academic performance, and expand career opportunities. The passage cited research studies demonstrating that bilingual individuals tend tohave stronger problem-solving skills, greater mental flexibility, and enhanced memory capacity compared to monolingual individuals. It also discussed how learning a second language can boost academic achievement in various subjects beyond just language arts.In terms of career benefits, the passage highlighted how proficiency in multiple languages makes job candidates more attractive to employers in an increasingly globalized job market. It provided examples of how bilingual employees can serve as valuable cultural and linguistic bridges between companies and their international clients or partners. Overall, the passage made a compelling case for the personal, academic, and professional advantages of becoming bilingual.The reading comprehension questions for this passage assessed students' understanding of the main argument, supporting evidence, and underlying assumptions. For instance, one question asked students to identify the key reasons presented in the passage for why learning a second language is beneficial. Another question required students to recognize the underlying assumption that bilingualism confers cognitive advantages.The third and final passage in the reading section was a descriptive text about the unique architectural features of traditional Japanese houses. The passage began by explaining the historical and culturalcontext that shaped the development of traditional Japanese residential design, noting how it was heavily influenced by principles of Zen Buddhism and Shintoism.The passage then went on to describe in detail the key architectural elements that are characteristic of traditional Japanese houses. This included details about the use of natural materials like wood, paper, and bamboo, the emphasis on open floor plans and flexible spaces, and the incorporation of gardens and outdoor areas. The passage also discussed how traditional Japanese houses were designed to be in harmony with the natural environment and seasonal changes.Additionally, the passage highlighted how certain design features like sliding doors, tatami mats, and low ceilings were intended to promote a sense of tranquility and mindfulness. It explained how these elements reflected the Japanese cultural values of simplicity, functionality, and a deep appreciation for nature. Overall, the passage provided readers with a vivid and insightful description of the unique architectural aesthetics of traditional Japanese homes.The reading comprehension questions for this passage assessed students' understanding of the key architectural elements described, as well as their ability to infer the cultural and philosophical influences that shaped traditional Japanese residential design. For example, one question asked students to identify the specific designfeatures that were intended to create a sense of harmony with nature. Another question required students to explain how certain architectural elements reflected core Japanese cultural values.In conclusion, the reading comprehension section of the December 2017 CET-6 exam featured three diverse passages that tested a range of reading skills. The first passage on Chinese tea culture assessed students' ability to comprehend and synthesize historical information. The second passage on the benefits of bilingualism evaluated students' understanding of an argumentative essay. And the third passage on traditional Japanese houses challenged students to analyze the relationship between architectural design and cultural influences.Overall, this reading section provided a well-rounded assessment of the English reading proficiency of CET-6 test takers. The passages covered a variety of topics and genres, and the corresponding comprehension questions required students to demonstrate skills such as identifying main ideas, interpreting supporting details, and making inferences. By closely analyzing the content and structure of this reading section, students can gain valuable insights to better prepare for future CET-6 exams.。
2017年12月英语六级篇章阅读的技巧
2017年12月英语六级篇章阅读的技巧
导读：本文2017年12月英语六级篇章阅读的技巧，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。
我们知道六级阅读从解题的思路上讲，分为细节题，推断题，词汇(句义)判断题，观点态度题，主旨题。
重点要掌握各题型的特点，从而确定题型，接着按题型方法着手判定。
1. 细节题通过题干中的细节信息回到文章中精确定位，这类题目的答案一般能在文中可以直接找到。
有的时候需要通过题干中细节信息的同义词来进行定位，找到文中出处，再对比选项进行答案的筛选。
2. 推断题此类题目要求考生根据文中的信息进行推理，从一定意义上来讲，实际上是找同义替换或同义改写的那个选项。
3、词汇(句义)判断题此类题目是对文中某个单词或句子进行提问，推知其具体含义。
如果是考查单词的含义，这个单词可能是超纲词汇还可能是某个常见词汇的陌生含义;如果考查的是句子的含义，则需要通过前后句的语义逻辑关系进行判定，通常会涉及到两种逻辑关系，即递近和转折。
如果是递近，前后语义是一致的;如果是转折，则前后语义是相反的。
4. 观点态度题对于此类题目，考生需要把握作者整体感情色彩的走向，重点关注文中的形容词和副词。
一般而言，如果文章的体裁是说明文，则作者的态度通常是客观的中立的;而如果体裁是议论文，作者的观点则会是多种多样，但如果出现了indifferent, biased时，通常为陪衬选项。
5. 主旨题此类题目通常要放
在最后来做。
做的时候可以采取正面思路和反面思路来突破。
正面思路即通过上面第一部分去确定篇章主题的方法，综合各段的逻辑解题;而反面思路则是在文章完全没有读懂的情况下，去借助其它题目的题干和选项来综合比对。

Snowden in 2013 that the government both cozied up to (讨好) certain tech companies and hacked into others to gain access to private data on an enormous scale, tech giants began to recognize the United States government as a hostile actor. But if the confrontation has crystallized in this latest battle, it may already be heading toward a predictable conclusion: In the long run, the tech companies are. . . . destined to emerge victorious.64. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）C) It may not seem that way at the moment. On the one side, you have the United States government’s mighty legal and security apparatus fighting for data of the most sympathetic sort:the secrets buried in a dead mass murderer’s phone. The action stems from a federal court orderissued on Tuesday requiring Apple to help the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I) to unlock an iPhone used by one of the two attackers who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in December.D) In the other corner is the world’s most valuable company, whose chi ef executive, Timothy D. Cook, has said he will appeal the court’s order. Apple argues that it is fighting to preserve aprinciple that most of us who are addicted to our smartphones can defend: Weaken a single iPhoneso that its contents can be viewed by the American government and you risk weakening alliPhones for any government intruder, anywhere.E) There will probably be months of legal tussling, and it is not at all clear which side will prevailin court, nor in the battle for public opinion and legislative favor. Yet underlying all of this is asimple dynamic: Apple, Google, Facebook and other companies hold most of the cards in this confrontation. They have our data, and their businesses depend on the global public’s collectivebelief that they will do everything they can to protect that data.F) Any crack in that front could be fatal for tech companies that must operate worldwide. If Appleis forced to open up an iPhone for an American law enforcement investigation, what is to preventit from doing so for a request from the Chinese or the Iranians? If Apple is forced to write codethat lets the F.B.I. get into the Phone 5c used by Syed Rizwan Farook, the male attacker in the San Bernardino attack, who would be responsible if some hacker got hold of that code and broke intoits other devices?G) Apple’s stance on these issues emerged post-Snowden, when the company started putting inplace a series of technologies that, by default, make use of encryption to limit access to people’sdata. More than that, Apple - and, in different ways, other tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft - have made their opposition to the government’s claims a pointof corporate pride.H) Apple’s emerging global brand is privacy; it has staked its corp orate reputation, not to mentionthe investment of considerable technical and financial resources, on limiting the sort of mass. . . . surveillance that was uncovered by Mr. Snowden. So now, for many cases involving governmental65. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）intrusions into data, once-lonely privacy advocates find themselves fighting alongside the most powerful company in the world.I) “A comparison point is in the 1990s battles over encryption,”said Kurt Opsahl, generalcounsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a privacy watchdog group. “Then you had a few companies involved, but not one of the largest companies in the world coming out with a lengthyand impassioned post, like we s aw yesterday from Tim Cook. The profile has really been raised.”J) Apple and other tech companies hold another ace: the technical means to keep making theirdevices more and more inaccessible. Note that Apple’s public opposition to the government’srequest is itself a hindrance to mass government intrusion. And to get at the contents of a single iPhone, the government says it needs a court order and Apple’s help to write new code; in earlier versions of the iPhone, ones that were created before Apple found religion on (热衷于) privacy,the F.B.I. may have been able to break into the device by itself.K) You can expect that noose (束缚) to continue to tighten. Experts said that whether or notApple loses this specific case, measures that it could put into place in the future will almostcertainly be able to further limit the government’s reach.L) That’s not to say that the outcome of the San Bernardino case is insignificant. As Apple andseveral security experts have argued, an order compelling Apple to write software that gives theF.B.I. access to the iPhone in question would establish an unsettling precedent. The orderessentially asks Apple to hack its own devices, and once it is in place, the precedent could be usedto justify law enforcement efforts to get around encryption technologies in other investigations far removed from national security threats.M) Once armed with a method for gaining access to iPhones, the government could ask to use it proactively (先发制人地), before a suspected terrorist attack - leaving Apple in a bind as to whether to comply or risk an attack and suffer a public-relations nightmare.“This is a brand-newsalvo in the war against encryption,” Mr. Opsahl said.“We’ve had plenty of debates in Congressand the media over whether the government should have a backdoor, and this is an end run aroundthat - here they come with an order to create that backdoor.”N) Yet it’s worth noting that even if Apple ultimately loses this case, it has plenty of technical. . . . means to close a backdoor over time.“If they’re anywhere near worth their salt as engineers, I bet66. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）they’re rethinking their threat model as we speak,” said Jonathan Zdziarski, a digital forensicexpert who studies the iPhone and its vulnerabilities.O) One relatively simple fix, Mr. Zdziarski said, would be for Apple to modify future versions ofthe iPhone to require a user to enter a passcode before the phone will accept the sort of modified operating system that the F.B.I. wants Apple to create. That way, Apple could not unilaterally introduce a code that weakens the iPhone— a user would have to consent to it.P) “Nothing is 100 percent hacker-proof,” Mr. Zdziarski said, but he pointed out that the judge’sorder in th is case required Apple to provide “reasonable security assistance” to unlock Mr.Farook’s phone. If Apple alters the security model of future iPhones so that even its ownengineers’ “reasonable assistance” will not be able to crack a given device when comp elled by the government, a precedent set in this case might lose its lasting force. In other words, even if theF.B.I. wins this case, in the long run, it loses.36. It is a popular belief that tech companies are committed to protecting their customers’ private data.37. The US government believes that its access to people’s iPhones could be used to preventterrorist attacks.38. A federal court asked Apple to help the FBI access data in a terrorist’s iPhone.39. Privacy advocates now have Apple fighting alongside them against government access topersonal data.40. Snowden revealed that the American government had tried hard to access private data inmassive scale.41. The FBI might have been able to access private data in earlier iPhones without Apple’s help.42. After the Snowden incident, Apple made clear its position to counter government intrusion into personal data by means of encryption.43. According to one digital expert, no iPhone can be entirely free from hacking.44. Timothy Cook’s long web post has helped enhance Apple’s image.45. Apple’s CEO has decided to appeal the federal court’s order to unlock a user’s iPhone.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or. . . . unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You67. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the centre.Passage OneQuestion 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.At the base of a mountain in Tanzania’s Gregory Rift, Lake Natron burns bright red, surrounded by the remains of animals that were unfortunate enough to fall into the salty water.Bats, swallows and more are chemically preserved in the pose in which they perished, sealed inthe deposits of sodium carbonate in the water. The lake’s landscape is bizarre and deadly- andmade even more so by the fact that it’s the place where nearly 75percent of the world’sflamingos(火烈鸟) are born.The water is so corrosive that it can burn the skin and eyes of unadapted animals. Flamingos, however, are the only species that actually makes life in the midst of all that death. Once everythree or four years, when conditions are right, the lake is covered with the pink birds as they stopflight to breed. Three –quarters of the world’s flamingos fly over from other salt lakes in the RiftValley and nest on salt- crystal islands that appear when the water is at specific level- too high andthe birds can’t build their nests, too low and predators can more briskly across the lake bed and attack. When the water hits the right level, the baby birds are kept safe from predators by acorrosive ditch.“Flamingos have evolved very leathery skin on their legs so they can tolerate the salt water,”says David Harper, a professor at the University of Leicester. “ Humans cannot, and would die iftheir legs were exposed for any length of time.” So far this year, water levels have bee n too highfor the flamingos to nest.Some fish, too, have had limited success vacationing at the lake as less salty lagoons (泻湖)form on the outer edges from hot springs flowing into Lake Natron. Three species of tilapia (罗非鱼) thrive there part-time. “Fish have a refuge in the streams and can expand into the lagoonswhen the lake is low and the lagoons are separate,” Harper said. “All the lagoons join when thelake is high and fish must retreat to their stream refuges or die.” Otherwise, no fish are able tosurvive in the naturally toxic lake.This unique ecosystem may soon be under pressure. The Tanzanian government has once. . . . again started mining the lake for soda ash, used for making chemicals, glass and detergents.68. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）Although the planned operation will be located more than 40 miles away, drawing the soda ash in through pipelines, conservationists worry it could still upset the natural water cycle and breeding grounds. For now, though, life prevails – even in a lake that kills almost everything it touches.46. What can we learn about Lake Natron?A) It is simply uninhabitable for most animals.B) It remains little known to the outside world.C) It is a breeding ground for a variety of birds.D) It makes an ideal habitat for lots of predators.47.Flamingos nest only when the lake water is at a specific level so that their babies can ______.A)find safe shelter more easilyB)grow thick feathers on their feet C)stay away from predatorsD)get accustomed to the salty water48.Flamingos in the Rift Valley are unique in that _______.A)they can move swiftly across lagoonsB)they can survive well in salty water C)they breed naturally in corrosive ditchesD)they know where and when to nest49.Why can certain species of tilapia sometimes survive around Lake Natron?A)They can take refuge in the less salty waters.B)They can flee quick enough from predators.C)They can move freely from lagoon to lagoon.D)They can stand the heat of the spring water.50.What may be the consequence of Tanzanian government’s planned operation?A)The accelerated extinction of flamingos.B)The change of flamingos’ migration route.C)The overmining of Lake Natron’s soda ash.D)The disruption of Lake Natron’s ecosystem.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.It is the season for some frantic last-minute math across the country, employees of all stripe are counting backward in an attempt to figure out just how much paid time-off they have left it their reserves. More of them, though, will skip those calculations altogether and just power. . . . through the holidays into 2017: More than half of American workers don’t use up all of their allotted vacation days each year.Not so long ago, people would have turned up their noses at that kind of dedication to the job. As marketing professors Silvia Bellezza, Neeru Paharia, and Anat Keinan recently explained in69. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）Harvard Business Review (HBR), leisure time was once seen as an indicator of high social status, something attainable only for those at the top. Since the middle of the 20th century, though, things have turned the opposite way – these days, punishing hours at your desk, rather than days off, areseen as the mark of someone important.In a series of several experiments, the researchers i llustrated just how much we’ve come to admire busyness, or at least the appearance of it. Volunteers read two passages, on about a manwho led a life of leisure and another about a man who was over-worked and over –scheduled;when asked to determine which of the two had a higher social status, the majority of theparticipants said the latter. The same held true for people who used products that implied theywere short on time: In one experiment, for example, customers of the grocery-delivery servicePeapod were seen as of higher status than people who shopped at grocery stores that were equally expensive; in another, people wearing wireless headphones were considered further up on thesocial ladder than those wearing regular headphones, even when both were just used to listen to music.In part,the authors wrote in HBR.this pattern may have to do with the way work itself has changed over the past several decades.We think that the shift from leisure-as-status to business-as-status may be linked to the development of knowledge-intensive economics. In such economies,individuals who possess the human capital characteristics that employers or clients value (petence and ambition) are expected to be in high demand and short supply on the job market.Thus，by telling others that weare busy and working all the time, we are implicitly suggesting that we are sought after, which enhances our perceived status.Even if you feel tempted to sacrifice your own vacation days for fake busyness, though, atleast consider leaving your weekends unscheduled.It's for your own good.51. What do most employees plan to do towards the end of the year?A) Go for a vacation.B) Keep on working. C) Set an objective for next year.D) Review the year’s achievements.52.How would people view dedication to work in the past?. . . .A) They would regard it as a matter of course.B) They would consider it a must for success.70. . . .2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题（第三套）C) They would look upon it with contempt.D) They would deem it a trick of businessmen.53. What did the researchers find through a series of experiments?A) The busier one appears, the more respect one earns.B) The more one works, the more one feels exploited.C) The more knowledge one has, the more competent one will be.D) The higher one’s status, the more vacation time one will enjoy.54. What may account for the change of people’s attitude towards being busy?A) The fast pace of life in modern society.B) The fierce competition in the job market.C) The widespread use of computer technology.D) The role of knowledge in modern economy.55.What does the author advise us to do at the end of the passage ?A) Schedule our time properly for efficiency.B) Plan our weekends in a meaningful way.C) Find time to relax however busy we are.D) Avoid appearing busy when we are not.PartⅣTranslation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.青海湖位于海拔3205米、青海省省会西宁以西约100公里处。

Everybody has a scary story about someone getting scooped(被抢先),” says new York university astronomer david hogg. those fears may be a factor in a lingering hesitation to share data even when publishing in journals that mandate it.[H] researchers at small labs or at institutions focused on teaching arguably have the most to lose when sharing hard-won data. ""with my institution and teaching load, i don't have postdocs and grad students", says terry mcglynn, a tropicalbiologist at california state university,Dominguez hills. "the stakes are higher to share data because it's a bigger fraction of hats happening in my lab.[I] researchers also point to the time sink that is involved in preparing data for others toview.Once the data and associated materials appear in a repository(存储库), answering questions and handling complaints can take many hours.[J] the time investment can present other problems. in some cases, says data scientist karthik Ram, it may be difficult for junior researchers to embrace openness when senior colleagues many of whom head selection and promotion teesht ridicule what they may view as misplaced energies. "i've heard this recently -that embracing the idea of open datad code makes traditional academics uncomfortable, "says ram. "the concem seems to be that open advocates don't spend their time being as productive as possible."[ K]an open-science stance can also add complexity to a collaboration. kate ratliff, who studies social attitudes at the university of florida, gainesville, says that it can seem as if there are two camps in a field-those who care about open science and those who don't . " there a new area to navigate-'are you cool with the fact that i'll want to make the data open?'-when talking with somebody about an interesting research idea, "she says.[L] despite complications and concerns, the upsides of sharing can be significant. for example,when information is uploaded to a repository, a digital object identifier(DOI)is assigned.Scientists can use a DOT to publish each step of the research life cycle, not just the final paper. In so doing, they can potentiallyget three citations- one each for the data and software.in addition to the paper itself. and although some say that citations for software or data have little currency in academia,they can have other benefits.[M] many advocates think that transparent data procedures with a date and time stamp will protect scientists from being scooped. "this is the sweet spot between sharing and getting credit for it. while discouraging plagiarism(剽窃). " says ivo grigorov, a project coordinator at the naional institute of aquatic resotResearch secreta - in charlottenlund, denmark. hogg says that scooping is less of a problem than many think. "the two cases i'm familiar with didn't involve open data or code, "he says.[N] Open science also offers junior researchers the chance to level the palying field by gaining better access to crucial date. ross mounce, a postdoc studying evolutionary biology at the university of cambrige,UK, is a vocal champion of open science, partly because his fossil others' data. he says that more openness in science could help to discourage what some perceive as a commom practice of shutting out early-career scientists' requests for data.[O] communication also helps for those who worry about jeopardizing a collaboration, hesays,Concems about open should be discussed at the outset of a study. "whenever you start a project with someone, you have to establish a clear understanding of expectations for who owns the data, at what point they go public and who can do what with them, he says.[p] in the end, sharing data, software and materials with colleagues can help an early -career researcher to gainrecognition--a crucial component of success. "the thing you are searching for reputation" says titus brown,a genomics(基因组学) researcher at the university of Califomia, davis,."to get grants and jobs you have to be relevant and achieve some level of public recognition. anything you do that advances your presence- especially in a largerphere, outside the communities you know- is a net win."36. astronomer david hogg doesn't think scooping is as serious a problem as generally thought.37. some researchers are hesitant to make their data public for fear that others might publish something similar before them38. some psychology joumals have offered incentives to encourage authors to share their data.39. there is a growing demand in the science community that research data be open to the public.40. sharing data offers early-career researchers the chance to build a certain level of reputation41. data sharing enables scientists to publish each step of their research work, thus leading to more citations42. scientists hold different opinions about the extent and timing of data sharing43. potential problems related to data sharing should be made known to and discussed by all participants at the beginning of a joint research project44. sharing data and handling data-related issues can be time-consuming45. junior researehers may have no say when it comes to sharing data.Section cDirections: there are 2 passages in this section. each passageis 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.In the beginning of the movie, robot, a robot has to decide whom to save after two cars plunge into the water-del spooner or a child. even though spooner screams"save her save her! "the robot rescues him because it calculates that he has a 45 percent chance of survival compared to sarah's 11 percent. the robot's decision and its calculated approach raise an important question: would humans make the same choice? and which choice would we want our robotic counterparts to make?Isaac asimov evaded the whole notion of morality in devising his three laws of robotics, which hold that 1. robots cannot harm humans or allow humans to come to harm; 2. robots must obey humans, except where the order would conflict with law i; and 3. robots must act inself-preservation, unless doing so conflicts with laws i or 2. these laws are programmed intoasimov's robots-they don' t have to think, judge, or value. they don't have to like humans or believe that wrong or bad. they simply don't do it.The robot who rescues spooner s life in / robot follows asimov's zeroth law: robots cannot harm humanity(as opposed to individual humansor allow humanity to come to harm--an expansion of the first law that allows robots to determine what's in the greater good. under the first law,a robot could not harm a dangerous gunman, but under the zeroth law, a robot could killthe gunman to save others.Whether it's possible to program a robot with safeguards such as asimov's laws is debatable a word such as"harm"is vague (what about emotional harm is replacing a human employ harm), and abstract concepts present coding problems. the robots in asimov's fiction expose complications and loopholes in the three laws, and even when the laws work, robots still have to assess situation.Assessing situations can be complicated. a robot has to identify the players, conditions, and possibe outcomes for various scenarios,Its doubtful that a computer program can do that-aleast, not without some undesirable results. a roboticist at the bristol robotics laboratory programmed a robot to save hur oxies(5) called""from danger. when one h-boheaded for danger, the robot successfully pushed it out of the way. but when two h-bots became percent of the time, unable to decide which to save and letting them both"die. "the experiment highlights the importance of morality without it, how can a robotdecide whom to save or what's best for humanity, especially if it can't calculate survival odds?46. what question does the example in the movie raise?a) whether robots can reach better decisionsb) whether robots follow asimov's zero"d) how robots should be programmed.47. what does the author think of asimovs three laws of robotics?a) they are apparently divorced from reality.b)they did not follow the coding system of robotics.c)they laid a solid foundation for robotics.d) they did not take moral issues into consideration.48. what does the author say about asimov's robots?a they know what is good or bad for human beingsb)they are programmed not to hurt human begingsc)they perform duties in their owners'best interest.d)they stop working when a moral issue is involved.49. what does the author want to say by mentioning the word"harm"in asimov's laws?a)abstract concepts are hard to program.b) it is hard for robots to make decisionsc) robots may do harm in certain situationsd) asimov's laws use too many vague terms50. what has the roboticist at the bristol robotics laboratory found in his experiment.a）robots can be made as intelligent as human begings some dayb) robots can have moral issues encoded into their programc)robots can have trouble making decisions in complex scenarion.d)robots can be programmed to perceive potential perils.PassageTwoQuestions 5i to 55 are based on the following passage.Our world now moves so fast that we seldom stop to see just how fast we seldom stop to see just how far wu have come in just a few year.The latest iPone 6s,for example,has a dual-core proccssor and fite nicely into your pocket. by comparison, you would expect to find a technological specification like this on your tandard laptop in an office anywhere in the world.its no wonder shat new applications for the internet of things are moving ahcad fast when almost every new decice we buy has a plup on the eng of it or a wireless connection to the internet.Soon, our current smartphone lifestyle wilate our own smart home lifestyle too.All researches agree that close to 25 billion devices,things and sensors will be connected by 2020 which incidentally is also the moment that millennials(千禧一代) are expected to make up of our。
12月英语六级阅读理解备考技巧
20XX年12月英语六级阅读理解备考技巧2017年12月英语六级阅读理解备考技巧1.想要做好阅读的准备，是抓词汇还是*?其实阅读的复习主要有2个方面，一个是单词量，另一个就是你读不懂的句子，很多同学在考试前都不重视这2方面，只是盲目的做题找所谓的答题技巧，但是效果往往都不是很好，最主要的原因就是基本功方面除了问题，所以建议大家从最基本的词汇和你读不懂的句子入手。
2.那么怎么才能更快的提升词汇量呢?短期内提升词汇量不是件容易的事，建议大家选择一些适当的方法来实现，比如单词联想，谐音，拆分等方法，因为每个人的基本水平是不一样的，不同的方法可能提升的高度不一样。
其次单词记忆中最大的困恼不是背单词，而是背了100个，忘掉了80个这种循环，其实遗忘是正常的，建议大家多次背诵，提升背单词的频率来减少间隔。
3.怎么安排时间是效率最高的呢?这个是因人而异的，可能你每天需要做的事情很多，建议大家抓住零碎的时间来背单词就可以。
4.为什么有的时候读*都读懂了，就是做题不对呢?这个其实就是大家语感的问题了，就和我们学习语文的时候，你能说*你都读懂了吗?他的话是就是明面上的意思吗?他表达和原文是一样的吗? 这个只能靠大家都积累，其他没有办法能帮助到大家。
5.大家都说做真题好，难道我要把这几年的真题都做了吗?现在，许多考生把复习就当做是做真题，然后背答案，其实这个是不对的，我们要研究的是真题出题的思路，而不是你做的题，如果把题目，*都看透了的话，了解*的信息采用了怎么样的模式，选项有什么规律的话，这才是做真题的真正目的。
英语六级阅读理解备考误区1、机械背诵大量词汇很多同学错误地将四、六级阅读考试失利的原因归结为词汇量不够，因此耗费大量时间和精力机械地背诵四、六级词汇。
其实，四、六级考试和国外的雅思、托福考试相比，最大的区别就在于，四、六级考试有明确的考纲，有规定的词汇考查范围。
四、六级复习过程中，考生完全不需要毫无目的地记忆大量词汇，只需要将考试委员会限定的四、六级词汇研究透彻即可。
2017年12月英语六级真题答案及解析(卷二)
2017年12月大学英语六级考试真题答案与详解（第2套）Part I Writing审题思路：这是一篇一句话点评类作文，要求针对引言“试着理解他人，你就会被理解”给出自己的观点。
显然，这篇作文需要论述的是“相互理解的重要性”。
分析引言的含义之后，考生应该将写作重点放在阐述相互理解的重要性上。
结合实际可知，相互理解在学习、工作和生活等各领域都非常重要，做到了相互理解，我们就能齐心协力做好生活中的每件事，并促使人际关系的和谐。
高分范文：The Power of Mutual UnderstandingA host of facts in our daily life have proved that lack of understanding is a critical factor leading to disagreement among people,which makes it difficult for people to be on friendly terms with others.That’s why the phrase“mutual understanding”is emphasized.Just as the remark goes,“Seek to understand others,and you will be understood.”The significance of mutual understanding cannot be understanding.On the one hand,mutual understanding serves as a prerequisite for learning progress,career success and happy life.If we understand each other and are willing to reach agreement,we can be empowered to summon multi-forces to grease the wheels of everything.On the other hand,mutual understanding is the lubricant of human relations.For those who wish to build lasting relationships and achieve civilized intercourse,mutual understanding is a foolproof strategy.To sum up,mutual understanding is the basis of our relationships with others and we would be socially idiotic without it.To avoid this,all we need is our utmost effort to seek to understand others.全文翻译：我们日常生活中大量的事实已经证明,缺乏了解是导致人与人之间出现分歧的至关重要的因素，使得人们很难与他人友好相处。

Though I'm still not keen on the design of the Kindle, it is a vast improvement on itspredecessor and certainly tolerable. Beyond the device itself, Amazon has done a great jobof rolling out Kindle apps, ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a Kindle-canstill join in the fun. Once you're into the Kindle ecosystem, Amazon locks you in tightly-just asApple does with its iTunes/ iPod ecosystem. It's so easy to buy from Amazon's store and thebooks are so cheap that it's not worth the effort of going elsewhere.While I remain opposed to Amazon's DRM (数字版权管理)-indeed, I'm opposed to DRM onany ebooks-I have to admit that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle userswon't care at all that their ebooks can't be moved to other devices.The ebook trend is nowhere near peaking. Over the next five years we can expect to seemore and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead. But I don'tthink that will mean the death of the printed book.There are some who prefer printed books. They like having shelves filled with books they'veread and books they plan to read; they like the feel of the book in their hands and thedifferentweights and typefaces and layouts of different titles. In other words, they like the physical formof the book almost as much as the words it contains.I can sympathise with those people. As I wrote earlier this week, my ideal situation would befor publishers to bundle ebooks with printed ones-in much the same way that film studiosbtmdie DVDs with digital copies of films. There's no reason to think that lovers of printed bookswill change their minds. There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because morepeople will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones. However, just as thereare people who love vinyl records(黑胶唱片), even if they were born well into the CD era, therewill still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.Since there are fewer of these people, that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices forprinted books but I don't think the picture is entirely bleak. There is scope for smaller printruns of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at book lovers, rather than theStieg Larsson-reading masses. With mainstream readers out of the printed book market, booklovers might even find they get a better experience.56. What can be inferred from Paragraph One?A.Most people buy Kindle 2 mainly because of its low price.B.The author of the passage is a loyal customer of Apple products.C.Amazon's Kindle 2 surpassed Kindle 1 in designing.D.The sales of ebook outnumbered those of paperback in the U. S.57. According to the passage, the reason why the author opposes to Amazon's DRM is that______A.ebooks can only be purchased on Amazon. comB.Kindle books are not compatible with other electronic reading devicesC.once implemented, ebooks can't be transferred to other equipmentsD.ebooks installed on Kindle 2 can't be edited freely58. It can be learned that the trend of ebooks______A.will come to stop any time soonB.will reach the summit in the near futureC.will meet its heyday when printed books dieD.has already reached its peak参考答案56.C)。
