2020年大学英语六级阅读理解试题及答案(卷一)

2020年大学英语六级阅读理解试题及答案（卷一）A great deal ofattention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide—the divisionof the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that dividedoes exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty yearsago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces thatwork against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic。

There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide willnarrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in theinterest of business to universalize access—after all, the morepeople online, the more potential customers there are. More and moregovernments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spreadInternet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people onthe planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digitaldivide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very goodnews because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combatingworld poverty that we've ever had。

2020年7月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】作文第一套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.参考译文：In this rapidly developing society，what we persue has never been more abundant than ever before. 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. Among all the elements of beauty that modern people attach importance to，I reckon that beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.Looking around，we may find many facts which can relect the value in the saying. Take Lihong as an example，she is not the traditionally typical youngster who would be considered beautiful. However，she keeps doing good routinely and insists in helping those in need. When mentioned，Lihong is always the exemplary model praised by everybody. To many acquaintances of hers，they think she is one of the most beautiful girls they' ve ever met. In the case of Lihong，beauty of the soul is more essentially valued than that of her appearence.To conclude，it is not the fashionable hairstyle，not the ex- pensive clothes we wear，but beauty of our soul that deter- mines how people see us. This reminds us agian of the value that beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.选词填空第一套26.L. realms27.C.heavily28.H. mastering29.B. fatigue30.E. hospitalized31.J. obsessed32.F. labeled33.N. ruin34.K. potential35.A. contrary信息匹配第一套How Telemedicine Is Transforming Healthcare36.D段落第一句None of this is to say that telemedicine37.H段落第一句Many health plans and employers have rushed38.E段落第一句What’smore，foralltherapidgrowth39.B段落第一句Doctors are Linking up with40.K段落第一句Who pays for the services?41.0段落第一句Todate，17stateshavejoined pass42.G段落第一句Do patients trade quality for convenience?43.F段落第一句Some critics also question whether44.1段落第一句But critics worry that such45.N段落第一句Is the state-by-state regulatory system仔细阅读第一套46-50 (Sleeplessness)46.C They are deeply impressed by Danielle Steel’s dailywork schedule.47.A She could serve as an example of industriousness.48.

关于科技类话题，2020年12月的六级作文考试也考过类似的题目，所以只要将历年真题复习好，相信大家对此话题应不会感到陌生。

参考范文：The picture vividly depicts that a group of people are holding a meeting in an office. They are facing a difficult problem that although they have lots of advanced information technology, they still fail to acquire useful information.In fact, the phenomenon conveyed in the picture does not surprise us, because as the science and technology develops, the topic concerning the side effects of technological advancement increasingly arouses people’s attention. Undoubtedly, the drawer of the picture aims at reminding us that advanced technology can not replace useful information, and in effect it is still difficult to get the useful information despite of information technology . What we should do is to be capable of telling the goof information from the bad. Put it another way, technology can only provides us a way to obtain the information, but to get theknowledge, we desired, we must pay out efforts instead ofover-depending on the technology.It is well known that thanks to the development of human civilization, many formerly unimaginable things come into reality. But, while enjoying the convenience produced by tech, we should alert that there is no shortcut to helpful information ; we should bear in mind that advanced technology can not be the substitute of human endeavors in gettinguseful information . In addition, it is wise for human beings to learn how to obtain and distinguish the information they would like by themselves.听力：短对话答案1. B. The dressing makes themixed salad very inviting.2. B.

Politicians may tackle polluters while scientists do battle with carbon emissions. But the most pervasive problem is less obvious： our own behaviour. We getdistracted before we can turn down the heating. We break our promise not to fly after hearing about a neighbor’s rip to India. Ultimately, we can’t be bothered to change our attitude. Fortunately for the planet, social science and behavioral economics may be able to do that for us.B) Despite mournful polar bears and carts showing carbon emissions soaring, mot people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by the Pew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent of participants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondents ranked it last on a list of priorities.C) This inconsistency largely stems from a feeling of powerlessness. “When we can’t actually remove the sou rce of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defense mechanisms,” says Tom Crompton, change strategist for the environmental organization World Wide Fund for Nature.D) Part of the fault lies with our inner caveman. Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact. “We worry most about now because if we don’t survive for the next minute, we’re not going to be around in ten years’ time,” says Professor Elke Weber of the Centre for Research on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University in New York.If the Thames were lapping around Big Ben, Londoners would face up to the problem of emissions pretty quickly. But in practice, our brain discounts the risks—and benefits—associated with issues that lie some way ahead.E) Matthew Rushworth, of the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, sees this in his lab every day. “One of the ways in which all agents seem to make decisions is that they assign a lower weighting to outcomes that are going to be further away in the future,” he says. “This is a very sensible way for an animal to make decisions in the wild and would have been very helpful for humans for thousands of years.”F) Not any longer. By the time we wake up to the threat posed by climate change, it could well be too late. And if we’re not going to make national decisions about the future, others may have to help us to do so.G) Few political libraries are without a copy of Nudge：Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness, by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. They argue that governments should persuade us into making better decisions—such as saving more in our pension plans—by changing the default options. Professor Weber believes that environmental policy can make use of similar tactics. If, for example, building codes included green construction guidelines, most developers would be too lazy to challenge them.H) Defaults are certainly part of the solution. Butsocial scientists are most concerned about crafting messages that exploit our group mentality(心态). ”We need to understand what motivates people, what it is that allows them to make change,” says Professor Neil Adger, of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich. ”It is actually about what their peers think of them, what their social norms are, what is seen as desirable in society.” In other words, our inner caveman is continually looking over his shoulder to see what the rest of the tribe are up to.I) The passive attitude we have to climate change as individuals can be altered by counting us in—and measuring us against—our peer group. “Social norms are primitive and elemental,” says Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of Influence：The Psychology of Persuasion. “Birds f lock together, fish school together, cattle herd together … just perceiving norms is enough to cause people to adjust their behavior in the direction of the crowd.”J) These norms can take us beyond good intentions. Cialdini conducted a study in San Diego in which coat hangersbearing messages about saving energy were hung on people’s doors. Some of the messages mentioned the environment, some financial savings, others social responsibility. But it wasthe one that mentioned the actions of neighbours that drove down power use.K) Other studies show that simply providing the facility for people to compare their energy use with the local average is enough to cause them to modify their behaviour. The Conservatives plan to adopt this strategy by making utility companies print the average local electricity and gas usageon people’s bills.L) Social science can also teach politicians how to avoid our collective capacity for self-destructive behaviour. Environmental campaigns that tell us how many people drive SUVs unwittingly (不经意地) imply that this behaviour is widespread and thus permissible. Cialdini recommends some careful framing of the message. “Instead of normalising the undesirable behaviour, the message needs to marginalise it,for example, by stating that if even one person buys yet another SUV, it reduces our ability to be energy-independent.”M) Tapping into how we already see ourselves is crucial. The most successful environmental strategy will marry the green message to our own sense of identity. Take your average trade union member, chances are they will be politically motivated and be used to collective action—much like Erica Gregory. A retired member of the Public and CommercialServices Union, she is setting up one of 1,100 action groups with the support of Climate Solidarity, a two-year environmental campaign aimed at trade unionists.N) Erica is proof that a great-grandmother can help to lead the revolution if your get the psychology right—in this case, by matching her enthusiasm for the environment with a fondness for organising groups. “I think there must be something in it.” She is expecting up to 20 people at the first meeting she has called, at her local pub in the Cornish village of Polperro.O) Nick Perks, project director for Climate Solidarity, believes this sort of activity is where the future of environmental action lies. “Using existing civil society structures or networks is a more effective way of creating change … and obviously trade unions are one of the biggest civil societ y networks in the UK,” he says. The “Love Food, Haste Waste” campaign entered into a collaboration last year with another such network—the Women’s Institute. Londoner Rachel Talor joined the campaign with the aim of making new friends. A year on, the meetings have made lasting changes to what she throws away in her kitchen. “It’s always more of an incentive if you’re doing it with other people,” she says. “It motivates you more if you know that you’ve got to provide feedback to a group.”P) The power of such simple psychology in fighting climate change is attracting attention across the political establishment. In the US, the House of Representatives Science Committee has approved a bill allocating $10 million a year to studying energy-related behaviour. In the UK, new studies are in development and social scientists areregularly spotted in British government offices. With the help of psychologists, there is fresh hope that we might go green after all.46. When people find they are powerless to change a situation, they tend to live with it.47. To be effective, environmental messages should be carefully framed.48. It is the government’s responsibility to persuade people into making environment-friendly decisions.49. Politicians are beginning to realize the importance of enlisting psychologists’ help in fighting climate change.50. To find effective solutions to climate change, it is necessary to understand what motivates people to make change.51. In their evolution, humans have learned to pay attention to the most urgent issues instead of long-term concerns.52. One study shows that our neighbors’ actions are influential unchanging our behavior.53. Despite clear signs of global warming, it is not easy for most people to believe climate change will affect their own lives.54.We would take our future into consideration in making decisions concerning climate change before it is too late.55. Existing social networks can be more effective in creating change in people’s behaviour.答案：CLGPH DJBFO仔细阅读：56-60.61. It has aroused public attention to safety issues.62.

“2020年12月份大学英语六级考试答案与解析

Part I WritingThe Way to SuccessAbraham Lincoln, a successful leader sparkling in American history, once put, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Simple as his remark is, it subtly encapsulates a profound and enlightening notion that the path to success only lies under the feet of people who are well-prepared.Currently in this progressively competitive society, it is anything but uncommon for us to see people desperately in want of success. Taking a look around, not only can we easily find students staying up late with their homework, we can also notice that a multitude of clerks step into the mansion in the early morning, then go back home after overtime. However, success, as a matter of fact, only belongs to a few of them. For instance, there is no shortage of this kind of people—who participate in numerous interviews and get nothing but a rejection slip, then they start whining time after time, “why isn’t that me?”Just as an ancient Chinese proverb goes, “Sharp tools make good work.”Accumulation of ability and knowledge is the prerequisite of success, and once we are strong and powerful enough, the whole universe will come to assist us in chasing our dreams.The way to successSuccess, the one everyone desires, plays an essential role in our daily life, because it directly determines our daily behaviors. In other words, if there is no desire for success, there will be no individuals’ development and even no advance of our society. It is the aspiration of success that promotes our growth of our individuals and society. But throughout the whole human history, how to succeed is always the most concerned topic.Among all the factors of success, well preparation of knowledge, the basic requisition of success, should be placed on the first one. Without extensive and intensive knowledge, even if there are exterior opportunities to success, such as the parents’ assistance or friends’ recommendation, you will still never succeed, because you cannot qualify the job you have already had. The more preparation you do in advance, the more likely you will get success. As Lincoln has said, if I had six hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.Besides the well preparation of knowledge, the preparation of confidence and interpersonal skills is also indispensable on the way to success.[快速阅读]Google's plan for world's biggest online library: philanthropy or act of piracy?[1] Google has already scanned 10 million books in its bid to digitise thecontents of the world's major libraries, but a copyright battle now threatens the project, with Amazon and Microsoft joining authors and publishers opposed to the scheme.[2] In recent years the world's most venerable libraries have played hostto some incongruous visitors. In dusty nooks and far-flung stacks, teams of workers dispatched by Google have been beavering away to make digital copies of books. So far, Google has scanned more than 10 million titles from libraries in America and Europe – including half a million volumes held by the Bodleian in Oxford. The exact method it uses is unclear; the company does not allow outsiders to observe the process.[3] Why is Google undertaking such a venture, so seemingly out-of-kilterwith its snazzy, hi-tech image? Why is it even interested in all those out-of-print library books, most of which have been gathering dust on forgotten shelves for decades? 1.The company claims its motives are essentially public-spirited. Its overall mission, after all, is to"organise the world's information", so it would be odd if that information did not include books. Like the Ancient Egyptians who attempted to builda library at Alexandria containing all the known world's scrolls, Googleexecutives talk of constructing a universal online archive, a treasure trove of knowledge that will be freely available – or at least freely searchable – for all.[4] The company likes to present itself as having lofty, utopian aspirations."This really isn't about making money" is a mantra. "We are doing this for the good of society." As Santiago de la Mora, head of Google Books for Europe, puts it: "2.By making it possible to search the millions of books that exist today, we hope to expand the frontiers of humanknowledge."[5] Dan Clancy, the chief architect of Google Books, offers an analogy withthe invention of the Gutenberg press – Google's book project, he says, will have a similar democratising effect. He talks of people in far-flung parts being able to access knowledge as never before, of search queries leading them to the one, long out-of-print book they need.[6] And he does seem genuine in his conviction that this is primarily aphilanthropic exercise. "Google's core business is search and find, so obviously what helps improve Google's search engine is good for Google,"he says. "But we have never built a spreadsheet outlining the financial benefits of this, and I have never had to justify the amount I am spending to the company's founders."[7] It is easy, talking to Clancy and his colleagues, to be swept along bytheir missionary zeal. But Google's book-scanning project is proving controversial. Several opponents have recently emerged, ranging from rival tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon to small bodiesrepresenting authors and publishers across the world. In broad terms, these opponents have levelled two sets of criticisms at Google.[8] First, they have questioned whether the primary responsibility fordigitally archiving the world's books should be allowed to fall to a commercial company. 3.In a recent essay in the New York Review of Books, Robert Darnton, the head of Harvard University's library, argued that because such books are a common resource – the possession of us all –only public, not-for-profit bodies should be given the power to control them.[9] The second, related criticism is that Google's scanning of books isactually illegal. This allegation has led to Google becoming mired in a legal battle whose scope and complexity makes the Jarndyce and Jarndyce case in Bleak House look straightforward.[10] 4.At its centre, however, is one simple issue: that of copyright. Theinconvenient fact about most books, to which Google has arguably paid insufficient attention, is that they are protected by copyright.Copyright laws differ from country to country, but in general protection extends for the duration of an author's life and for a substantial period afterwards, thus allowing the author's heirs to benefit. (In Britain and America, this post-death period is 70 years.) This means, of course, that almost all of the books published in the 20th century are still under copyright – and last century saw more books published than in allprevious centuries combined. Of the roughly 40 million books in USlibraries, for example, an estimated 32 million are in copyright. Of these, some 27 million are out of print.[11] Outside the US, Google has made sure only to scan books that are out ofcopyright and thus in the "public domain" (works such as the Bodleian's first edition of Middlemarch, which anyone can read for free on Google Books Search).[12] But, within the US, the company has scanned both in-copyright andout-of-copyright works. 5.In its defence, Google points out that it displays only snippets of books that are in copyright – arguing that such displays are "fair use". But critics allege that by making electronic copies of these books without first seeking the permission of copyright holders, Google has committed piracy.[13] "The key principle of copyright law has always been that works can becopied only once authors have expressly given their permission," says Piers Blofeld, of the Sheil Land literary agency in London. "Google has reversed this – it has simply copied all these works without bothering to ask."[14] 6.In 2005, the Authors Guild of America, together with a group of USpublishers and publishers, launched a class action suit against Google that, after more than two years of wrangling, ended with an announcement last October that Google and the claimants had reached an out-of-court settlement. The full details are staggeringly complicated – the text alone runs to 385 pages – and trying to summarise it is no easy task."Part of the problem is that it is basically incomprehensible," says Blofeld, one of the settlement's most vocal British critics.[15] Broadly, the deal provides a mechanism for Google to reimburse authorsand publishers whose rights it has breached (including giving them a share of any future revenue it generates from their works). In exchange for this, the rights holders agree not to sue Google in future.[16] The settlement stipulates that a body known as the Books Rights Registrywill represent the interests of US copyright holders. Authors andpublishers with a copyright interest in a book scanned by Google who make themselves known to the registry will be entitled to receive a payment – in the region of $60 per book – as compensation.[17] Additionally, the settlement hands Google the power – but only with theagreement of individual rights holders – to exploit its database of out-of-print books. It can include them in subscription deals sold to libraries or sell them individually under a consumer licence. 7.It is these commercial provisions that are proving the settlement's mostcontroversial aspect.[18] Critics point out that, by giving Google the right to commerciallyexploit its database, the settlement paves the way for a subtle shift in the company's role from provider of information to seller. "8.Google's business model has always been to provide information for free, and sell advertising on the basis of the traffic this generates," points out JamesGrimmelmann, associate professor at New York Law School. Now, he says, because of the settlement's provisions, Google could become a significant force in bookselling.[19]9.Interest in this aspect of the settlement has focused on "orphan" works,where there is no known copyright holder– these make up an estimated 5% to 10% of the books Google has scanned. Under the settlement, when no rights holders come forward and register their interest in a work,commercial control automatically reverts to Google. Google will be able to display up to 20% of orphan works for free, include them in itssubscription deals to libraries and sell them to individual buyers under the consumer licence.[20] "The deal has in effect handed Google a swath of intellectual copyright.It is a mammoth potential bookselling market," says Blofeld. He adds it is no surprise that Amazon, which currently controls 90% of the digital books market, is becoming worried.[21] But Dan Clancy of Google dismisses the idea that, by gaining control overout-of-print and orphan works, Google is securing for itself a significant future revenue stream. He points out that out-of-print books represent only a tiny fraction of the books market – between 1% and 2%. "This idea that we are gaining access to a vast market here – I really don't think that is true.[22] James Gleick, an American science writer and member of the Authors Guild,broadly agrees. He says that, although Google's initial scanning of in-copyright books made him uncomfortable, the settlement itself is a fair deal for authors.[23] "The thing that needs to be emphasised is that this so-called market overwhich Google is being given dominance – the market in out-of-print books – doesn't currently exist. That's why they're out of print. In real life,I can't see what the damage is – it's only good."[24] It is by no means certain that the settlement will be enacted – it isthe subject of a fairness hearing in the US courts. But if it is enacted, Google will in effect be off the hook as far as copyright violations in the US are concerned. Many people are seriously concerned by this – and the company is likely to face challenges in other courts around the world.[25] Over the coming months, we will hear a lot more about the Googlesettlement and its ramifications. Although it's a subject that may seem obscure and specialised, it concerns one of the biggest issues affectingpublishing and, indeed, other creative industries – the control of digital rights.[26] No one knows the precise use Google will make of the intellectual propertyit has gained by scanning the world's library books, and the truth, as Gleick points out, is that the company probably doesn't even know itself.10.But what is certain is that, in some way or another, Google's entranceinto digital bookselling will have a significant impact on the book world in years to come.题目：1. Google claims its plan for the world’s biggest online library is _____A. to save out-of-print books in libraries.B. to serve the interest of the general publicC. to encourage reading around the worldD. to promote its core business of searching【解析】该题问的是Google所声称的自己图书馆计划的目的。

2020年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案(1)

2020年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案2020年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案Section ADirections： In this section, there is a short passagewith 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it'ssurprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios：It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream： "No! It's done!" What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to citeoptions and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or aboutthe designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far.Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibitingfurther ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations.47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________.48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________.49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution.50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important toset up a system for stories to __________.51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?"situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid__________.参考答案47. what is in your boss's mind48. challenging our boss's anthority49. possible consequences50. be proposed and reviewed51. feeling uneasy about the confrontationsSection BDirections： 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 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question： are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yetthe consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices ofeverything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So whyis there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on,consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers – meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businessesin California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but howmany consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer mostfrom the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (财政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding： that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected – say, low-skilled workers, or California residents – the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

2020年12月英语六级真题答案(完整版)

2020年12月英语六级真题答案（完整版）【作文部分】范文一：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Happiness – Go for itIn this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow： disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems. We need to muster our courage and confidenceto face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.范文二：Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.How to Live a Meaning LifeAmong all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only in this way canI keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfilmy life.范文三：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrateyour point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write atleast 150 words but no more than 200 words.Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionAs a famous saying goes, “A wealth of informationcreates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining aboutdistraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us somuch convenience that we are allowed to get enoughinformation just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to searchinformation online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted byirrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips：Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.【听力部分】1.

The Mid-Autumn has become popular all over China in the Early Tang Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the8th month of the lunar calendar, is a day for worshiping themoon. At that day, family members get together and enjoythe bright moon in the sky at night. In 2006, the Mid-Autumn was listed as a China cultural heritage, and in 2008 designated as a public holiday. The moon cake, an indispensable food of the Festival, is often used as a gift for relatives and friends or enjoyed in the family party. Traditional moon cakes are imprinted with Chinese characters with such meanings as “longevity”, “happiness” or “harmony”.翻译二：The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It was through the Silk Road that papermaking, gunpowder, compass and printing of the four great inventions of ancient China were introduced around the world. Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. Europe also exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market.。

长篇阅读Climate change may be real, but it’s still not easybeing greenHow do we convince our inner caveman to be greener?We ask some outstanding social scientists.A) The road to climate hell is paved with our good intentions. Politicians may tackle polluters while scientists do battle with carbon emissions. But the most pervasive problem is less obvious：our own behaviour. We getdistracted before we can turn down the heating. We break our promise not to fly after hearing about a neighbor’s rip to India. Ultimately, we can’t be bothered to change our attitude. Fortunately for the planet, social science and behavioral economics may be able to do that for us.B) Despite mournful polar bears and carts showing carbon emissions soaring, mot people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by the Pew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent of participants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondents ranked it last on a list of priorities.C) This inconsistency largely stems from a feeling ofp owerle ssness. “When we can’t actually remove the source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defense mechanisms,” says Tom Crompton, changestrategist for the environmental organization World Wide Fund for Nature.D) Part of the fault lies with our inner caveman. Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact. “We worry most about now because if we don’t survive for the next minute, we’re not going to be around in ten years’ time,” says Professor Elke Weber of the Centre for Research on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University in New York.If the Thames were lapping around Big Ben, Londoners would face up to the problem of emissions pretty quickly. But in practice, our brain discounts the risks—and benefits—associated with issues that lie some way ahead.E) Matthew Rushworth, of the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, sees this in his lab every day. “One of the ways in which all agents seem to ma ke decisions is that they assign a lower weighting to outcomes that are going to be further away in the future,” he says. “This is a very sensible way for an animal to make decisions in the wild and would have been very helpful for humans for tho usands of years.”F) Not any longer. By the time we wake up to the threat posed by climate change, it could well be too late. And if we’re not going to make national decisions about the future, others may have to help us to do so.G) Few political libraries are without a copy of Nudge：Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness, by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. They argue that governments should persuade us into making better decisions—such as saving more in our pension plans—by changing the default options. Professor Weber believes that environmental policy can makeuse of similar tactics. If, for example, building codes included green construction guidelines, most developers would be too lazy to challenge them.H) Defaults are certainly part of the solution. Butsocial scientists are most concerned about crafting messages that exploit our group mentality(心态). ”We need to understand what motivates people, what it is that allows them to make change,” says Professor Neil Adger, of the Tyn dall Centre fo r Climate Change Research in Norwich. ”It is actually about what their peers think of them, what their social norms are, what is seen as desirable in society.” In other words, our inner caveman is continually looking over his shoulder to see what the rest of the tribe are up to.I) The passive attitude we have to climate change as individuals can be altered by counting us in—and measuring us against—our peer group. “Social norms are primitive and elemental,” says Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of Influence：The Psychology of Persuasion. “Birds flock together, fish school together, cattle herd together … just perceiving norms is enough to cause people to adjust their behavior in the direction of the crowd.”J) These norms can take us beyond good intentions. Cialdini conducted a study in San Diego in which coat hangers。

2020年6月英语六级考试阅读真题及答案2020年6月英语六级考试阅读真题及答案Section ADirection： In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete stamens. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.Question 47 to 51 are based on the following passageHighly proficient musicianship is hard won. Althoughit’s often assumed musical ability us inherited, there’s abundant evidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems that at birth virtually everyone has perfect pitch, the reasons that one child is better than another are motivation and practice.Highly musical children were sung to more as infants and more encouraged to join in song games as kids than less musical ones, long before any musical ability could have been evident. Studies of classical musicians prove that the best ones practiced considerably more from childhood onwards than ordinary orchestral players, and this is because their parents were at them to put in the hours from a very young age.The same was true of children selected for entry to specialist music schools, compared with those who were rejected. The chosen children had parents who had very actively supervised music lessons and daily practice fromyoung ages, giving up substantial periods of leisure time to take the children to lessons and concerts.The singer Michael Jackson’s story, although unusually brutal and extreme, is illumination when considering musical prodigy(天才). Accounts suggest that he was subjected to cruel beatings and emotional torture ,and that he was humiliated (羞辱) constantly by his father, What sets Jackson’s family apart is that his father used his reign of terror to train his children as musicians and dancers.On top of his extra ability Michael also had more drive. This may have been the result of being the closest of his brothers and sisters to his mother. “He seemed different to me from the other children —special,”Michael’s mother said of him. She may not have realized that treating her son as special may have been part of the reason be became like that.All in all, if you want to bring up a Mozart or Bach, the key factor is how hard you are prepared to crack the whip. Thankfully, most of us will probably settle for a bit of fun on the recorder and some ill-executed pieces of music-on the piano from our children.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

【有道考神版】【星火英语版】The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today对明天做好的准备就是今天做到最好范文：There is a famous saying that the best preparation for tomorrow is to do good work today.Simple as the saying is,it informs us that one doesn’t need to worry about the future if he can seize the moment.It is generally believed that taking immediate action is of great importance.Doing good work today enables people to achieve their great goals step by step.Assume a college student who is indulged in his wishful thinking of passing the CET-6exam with a high score without any efforts and hardwork，and he will be devastated to accept the reality when he fails.The same thing may be said of some grown-ups who aspire to gain fame and fortune but never bother to put their splendid plans into practice immediately.Therefore,by some means or other we must take action to pursue our goals.

2020年9月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】四六级试卷采用多题多卷形式，大家核对答案时，请找具体选项内容，忽略套数.搜集整理了各个版本(有文字也有图片)，仅供大家参考.【网络综合版】听力: Section A Long Conversation One M: 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 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. 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 A Conversation 2 M: 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 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, 【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 B Passage 1 While 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 the 1970s 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 the 1970s? Q10: What did scientists think about Lake Vostok? Q11: What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do? Section B Passage 2 The idea to study the American Indian tribe – Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984 when 【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, he must 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 C Recording 1 Q18: What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history? Recording 2 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 people in our life. Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his ten-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 takes his 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 nowhereand 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. Q19 What does the speaker say about us as human beings? Q20 What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life? Q21 What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists? Section C Lecture 3 Virtually 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. 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 life span. Few dollar bills survive longer than 18 months. The word "dollar" is taken from the German word "taler," the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century. The taler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under 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 of 1812. The first noninterest-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, 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.

Water Margin， one of the four classic novels in the Chinese literature， is based on the stories of the historical figures of Song Jiang and his partners，who rebelled against the feudal emperor，and has been popular among the Chinese readers for hundreds of years. It is no exaggeration to say that almost every single Chinese is familiar with some of the major characters in the book as its splendid stories are repeatedly told in tea houses， on the- atrical stages， by radio and television， and on film screens. In fact， its influence has been far beyond the national boundary as more and more foreign readers are touched and intrigued by the stories of the novel. 《红楼梦》(Dream of the Red Chamber)是18世纪曹雪芹创作一部小说.曹雪芹基于自己痛苦个人经历，讲述了贾宝玉和林黛玉之间悲剧性爱情故事.书中有大约30个主要人物和400多个次要人物，每个人物都刻画得栩栩如生，具有鲜明个性.小说详尽地描述了四个贵族世家兴衰历程，反映了封建社会隐藏种种危机和错综复杂社会冲突. 《红楼梦》融合了现实主义和浪漫主义，具有很强艺术感染力.它被普遍认为是中国最伟大小说，也是世界上最伟大文学创作之一. Dream of the Red Chamber is a novel written by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century，who，based on his own hard life experi- ence，tells the tragic love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. In the book，there are about 30 major characters and over 400 minor ones， each of whom is depicted vividly with distinctive personalities. The novel narrates exhaustively the rise and fall of four aristocratic families，reflecting vari- ous crises and complicated social conflicts that lurk in the feudal society. Dream of the Red Chamber， which integrates realism and ro- manticism and generates strong artistic appeal， is universal- ly acknowledged as the greatest Chinese novel and one of the world' s literary masterpieces. 《西游记》(Journey to the West)也许是中国文学四大经典小说中最具影响力一部，当然也是在国外最广为人知一部小说.这部小说描绘了著名僧侣玄奘在三个随从陪同下穿越中国西部地区前往印度取经(Buddhistscripture) 艰难历程.虽然故事主题基于佛教，但这部小说采用了大量中国民间故事和神话素材，创造了各种栩栩如生人物和动物形象.其中最著名是孙悟空，他与各种各样妖魔作斗争故事几乎为每个中国孩子所熟知. Journey to the West is probably the most influential one of the four classic novels in the Chinese literature and surely the best-known one on foreign lands. Depicted in the novel is the hard journey that Hsuan-tsang， an eminent monk， and his three followers make across west China to India to fetch Buddhist scripture. Although the theme is based on Bud- dhism，the book employs many materials of Chinese folk tales and myths to create various vivid images of characters and animals，among which is the most famous Monkey King，whose stories of fighting genies are extremely popular among Chinese kids.作文: Directions: For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying What is worth doing is worth doing well. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文: in different stages of life， we may have diverse pursuit. 成 Some determine to pass an arduous exam whereas，others may tend to find a satisfying job. No matter what we are going to do， one thing is certain， we have to spare no effort to make the worthy task fully accomplished. As the saying goes，what is worth doing is worth doing well. Looking around，we may find many deeds to which we can apply the value relected in the saying. Take myself as an ex- ample，I made my mind to attend the postgraduateentrance exams at the beginning of last year，which for me I thought was worth doing. Once the decision had been made，I never doubted the possibility of not being able to pass the exams. I made a comprehensive plan for the whole year study and stuck to it strictly. In the end， I managed to pass the exams and became a qualified graduate student. To conclude，what is worth doing is definitely what is mean-- ingful to us and even can have a long-term influence on our life and growth. Only when we accomplish what is worth doing well can we be more likely to succeed. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying Wealth of the mind is the only true wealth. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文: In this rapidly developing society, what we persue has never been more abundant than ever before. We care about the food safety, the health of the people around us, the apperence of us and the money we can earn. Talking about wealth, ideas may differ from person to person. Among all the elements of wealth that modern people attach impor?tance to, I reckon that wealth of the mind is the only true wealth. Looking around, we may find many facts which can relect the value in the saying. Take Lihong as an example, she is not the traditionally typical youngster who would be consid?ered wealthy. However, she keeps reading books routinely and insists in attending a variety of lectures. When men?tioned, Lihong is always the exemplary model praised by ev?erybody.

This reminds us agian of the value that wealth of the mind is the only true wealth.

2020年英语六级长篇阅读练习及答案详解(1)Paper--More than Meets the EyeA) We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it is easy to forget just how complex it is. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and whilst it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades.B) It needs to be understood that most paper and card is manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the corn-flake packet may look smart, it is clearly not something destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only needs a limited life span. It is also much cheaper to manufacture than high grade card.C) Paper can be made from an almost endless variety of cellulose-based material which will include many woods, cottons and grasses or which papyrus is an example and from where we get the word "paper". Many of these are very specialized, but the preponderance of paper making has been from soft wood and cotton or rags, with the bulk being wood-based.Paper from WoodD) In order to make wood into paper it needs to be broken down into fine strands. Firstly by powerful machinery and then boiled with strong alkalies such as caustic soda, until a fine pulp of cellulose fibers is produced. It is from this pulp that the final product is made, relying on the bonding together of the cellulose into layers. That, in a very smallnutshell, is the essence of paper making from wood. However, the reality is rather more complicated. In order to give us our white paper and card, the makers will add bleach and other materials such as china clay and additional chemicals.E) A further problem with wood is that it contains a material that is not cellulose. Something called lignin. This is essential for the tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together, but if it is incorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists with a problem. Lignin eventually breaks down and releases acid products into the paper. This will weaken the bond between the cellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look rather brown and careworn. We have all seen this in old newspapers and cheap paperback books. It has been estimated that most paper back books will have a life of not greater than fifty years. Not what we need for our archives.F) Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp during manufacture, the obvious question is "why is it left in the paper?" The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable part of the tree. By leaving the lignin in the pulp a papermaker can increase his paper yield from a tree to some 95%. Removing it means a yield of only 35%. It is clearly uneconomic to remove the lignin for many paper and card applications.G) It also means, of course, that lignin-free paper is going to be more expensive, but that is nevertheless what the archivist must look for in his supplies. There is no point whatsoever in carefully placing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going to hasten their demise. Acid isparticularly harmful to photographic materials, causing them to fade and is some cases simply vanish!H) So, how do we tell a piece of suitable paper or card from one that is unsuitable? You cannot do it by simply looking, and rather disappointingly, you cannot always rely on the label. "Acid-free" might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper may indicate that it is a neutral material at this time. But lignin can take years before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down, and in the right conditions it will speed up enormously.I) Added to this, as I have indicated earlier, paper may also contain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach, china clay, chemical whiteners and size. This looks like a bleak picture, and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers who will guarantee the material that they sell. If you want to be absolutely sure that you are storing in, or printing on, the correct material then this is probably the only way.J) Incidentally, acids can migrate from material to material. Lining old shoe boxes with good quality acid-free paper will do little to guard the contents. The acid will get there in the end.Paper from RagK) Paper is also commonly made from cotton and rag waste. This has the advantage of being lignin-free, but because there is much less cotton and rag than trees, it also tends to be much more expensive than wood pulp paper. You will。
