2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案（第1套）Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.It’s not difficult for us to come up with se veral possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.【参考范文译文】俗话说，知识能改变命运。

You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions byThe Best Retailers Combine Bricks and ClicksA)Retail profits are falling sharply.Stores are closing.Malls are emptying.The depressing stories just keep coming.Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macy’s,Nordstorm,and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit.The interact is apparently taking do wn yet another industry.Brick and mortar stores(实体店)seem to be going the way of the yellow pages.Sure enough,the Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail sales surged15.2percent between the first quarter of2015and the first quarter of2016.B)But before you dump all of your retail stocks,there are more facts you should consider.Looking only at that15.2percent"surge"would be misleading.It was an increase that was on a small base of6.9percent.Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms,it is often still tiny.C)More than20years after the internet was opened to commerce,the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for92.3percent of retail sales in the first quarter of2016.Their data show that only0.8percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of2015and2016.D)So,despite all the talk about drone(无人机)deliveries to your doorstep,all the retail executives expressing anxiety over consumers going online,and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a"huge antitrust problem,"the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving.Of course,the closed stores, depressed executives,and sinking stocks suggest otherwise.What's the real story?E)Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble.The retail industry is getting“reinvented,”as we describe in our new book.Matchmakers.It’s standing in the path of what Schumpeter called a gale(大风)of creative destruction.That storm has been brewing for some time,and as it has reached gale force,most large retailers are searching for a response.As the CFO of Macy’s put it recently,“We’re frankly scratching our heads.”F)But it’s not happening as experts predicted.In the peak of the bubble,brick and mortar retail was one of those industries the internet was going to kill—and quickly.The dot.corn bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed,conventional retailers’confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales.And then the gale hit.G)It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn’t a simple battle to the death between bricks and clicks.It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they search,shop,and buy.Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inventory,to marketing,to getting paid.H)More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep,Apple’s massively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon’s small steps in the same direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night.Not to mention the large number of creative new retailers,like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.I)Retail reinvention is not a simple process,and it’s also not happening on what used to be called"Internet Time." Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly,of course.Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down.But many widely anticipated changes weren’t quick,and some haven’t really started.With the benefit of hindsight(后见之明),it looks like the interact will transform the economy at something like the pace of other great inventions like electricity.B2B commerce,for example,didn’t move mainly online by2005as many had predicted in2000,nor even by2016,but that doesn’t mean it won’t do so over the next few decades.J)But the gale is still blowing.The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years,even though it hasn’t been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales,is a critical warning.People can shop more efficiently online and therefore don’t need to go to as many stores to find what they want.There’s a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds,which is one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.Even five years ago most people faced a choice.Sit at your computer,probably at home or at the office,search and browse,and buy.Or head out to the mall,or Main Street,look and shop,and buy.Now,just about everyone has a smartphone,connected to the internet almost everywhere almost all the time.Even when a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store,she can easily see if there’s a better deal online or at another store nearby.L)So far,the main thing many large retailers have done in response to all this is to open online stores,so people will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller online rivals．Many are having the same problem that newspapers have.Even if they get online traffic,they struggle to make enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline.M)A few seem to be making this work．Among large traditional retailers,Walmart recently reported the best results,leading its stock price to surge,while Macy’s,Target,and Nordstrom’s dropped.Yet Walmart’s year-over-year online sales only grew7percent,leading its CEO to lament(哀叹),“Growth here is too slow．”Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazon filed the one．click patent,the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions．A recent study graded more than600internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop,buy,and pay．Almost half of the sites didn’t get a passing grade and only18percent got an A or B．N)The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data．Unfortunately,part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable．Our deep100k into those data and their preparation revealed serious problems．It seems likely that Census simply misclassifies a large chunk of online sales．It is certain that the Census procedures,which lump the online sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart with“non-store retailers"1ike food trucks．can mask major changes in individual retail categories．The bureau could easily present their data in more useful ways．but they have chosen not to．O)Despite the turmoil,brick and mortar won’t disappear any time soon．The big questions are which,if any,of the large traditional retailers will still be on the scene in a decade or two because they have successfully reinvented themselves,which new players will operate busy stores on Main Streets and maybe even in shopping malls,and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in each retail category．Investors shouldn’t write off brick and mortar．Whether they should bet on the traditional players who run those stores now is another matter36.Although online retailing has existed for some twenty years,nearly half of the internet retailers still fail to receive satisfactory feedback from consumers,according to a recent survey．37.Innovative retailers integrate internet technologies with conventional retailing to create new retail models．38.Despite what the Census data suggest,the value of physical retail’s stocks has been dropping．39.Innovative-driven changes in the retail industry didn’t take place as quickly as widely anticipated．40.Statistics indicate that brick and mortar sales still made up the lion’s share of the retail business.panies that successfully combine online and offline business models may prove to be a big concern for traditional retailers.42.Brick and mortar retailers’faith in their business was strengthened when the dot com bubble burst.43.Despite the tremendous challenges from online retailing,traditional retailing will be here to stay for quite some time.44.With the rise of online commerce,physical retail stores are likely to suffer the same fate as i the yellow pages.45.The wide use of smartphones has made it more complex for traditional retailers to reinvent their business. Section CDirections:There are2passages 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 Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneProfessor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artifcial intelligence(AI)will be“either the best,or the worst thing,ever to happen to humanity”,and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the future of intelligence as“crucial to the future of our civilisation and our species”.Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence(LCFI)at Cambridge University,a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of the open-ended questions raised by the rapid pace of development in AI research.“We spend a great deal of time studying history,”Hawking said,“which,let’s face it,is mostly the history of stupidity.So it’s a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence.”While the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI,raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a will of its own,he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring.“The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge,”he said.“We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI.Perhaps with the tools of this new technological revolution,we will be able to undo some of the damage done to the natural world by the last one—industrialisation.And surely we will aim to finally eradicate disease and poverty.And every aspect of our lives will be transformed.In short,success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation.”Huw Price,the centre’s academic director and the Bertrand Russell professor of philosophy at Cambridge University,where Hawking is also an academic,said that the centre came about partially as a result of the university’s Centre for Existential Risk.That institute examined a wider range of potential problems for humanity, while the LCFI has a narrow focus.AI pioneer Margaret Boden,professor of cognitive science at the University of Sussex,praised the progress of such discussions.As recently as2009,she said,the topic wasn’t taken seriously,even among AI researchers.“AI is hugely exciting,”she said,“but it has limitations,which present grave dangers given uncritical use.”The academic community is not alone in warning about the potential dangers of AI as well as the potential benefits.A number of pioneers from the technology industry,most famously the entrepreneur Elon Musk,have also expressed their concerns about the damage that a super-intelligent AI could do to humanity.46.What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?A)It would be vital to the progress of human civilisation.B)It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.C)It might present challenges as well as opportunities.D)It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.47.What did Hawking say about the creation of the LCFI?A)It would accelerate the progress of AI research.B)It would mark a step forward in the AI industry.C)It was extremely important to the destiny of humankind.D)It was an achievement of multi-disciplinary collaboration.48.What did Hawking say was a welcome change in AI research?A)The shift of research focus from the past to the future.B)The shift of research from theory to implementation.C)The greater emphasis on the negative impact of AI.D)The increasing awareness of mankind’s past stupidity.49.What concerns did Hawking raise about AI?A)It may exceed human intelligence sooner or later.B)It may ultimately over-amplify the human mind.C)Super-intelligence may cause its own destruction.50.What do we learn about some entrepreneurs from the technology industry?A)They are much influenced by the academic community.B)They are most likely to benefit from AI development.C)They share the same concerns about AI as academics.D)They believe they can keep AI under human control.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach$30billion by next year,and startups(初创公司)want in on the action.What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products.So Brookdale,the country’s largest owner of retirement communities,has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days,show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.That’s what brought Dayle Rodriguez,28,all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance,California.Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startup’s product,SentabTV,enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control.“It’s nothing new,it’s nothing too complicated and it’s natural because lots of people have TV remotes,”says Rodriguez.But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room.Instead,Rodriguez solicits residents’advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon.Playing cards was on the agenda,as well as learning to play mahjong(麻将).Rodriguez says it’s important that residents here don’t feel like he’s selling them something.“I’ve had more feedback in a passive approach,”he says.“Playing pool,playing cards,having dinner,having lunch,”all work better“than going through a survey of questions.When they get to know me and to trust me,knowing for sure I’m not selling them something—there’ll be more honest feedback from them.”Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale’s1,100senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themselves.Mary Lou Busch,93,agreed to try the Sentab system.She tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her.“I have the computer and FaceTime,which I talk with my family on,”she explains.She also has an iPad and a smartphone.“So I do pretty much everything I need to do.”To be fair,if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more technophobic(害怕技术的)seniors,he might have ended up in the wrong Brookdale community.This one is located in the heart of Southern California’s aerospace corridor.Many residents have backgrounds in engineering,business and academic circles.But Rodriguez says he's still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community:“People are more tech-proficient than we thought.”And besides,where else would he learn to play mahjong?51.What does the passage say about the startups?A)They never lose time in upgrading products for seniors.B)They want to have a share of the seniors’goods market.C)They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.D)They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.52.Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to______.A)have an interview with potential customersC)collect residents’feedback on their productsD)show senior residents how to use IT products53.What do we know about SentabTV?A)It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.B)It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.C)It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.D)It is a communication system via TV instead of a computer.54.What does Rodriguez say is important in promoting products?A)Winning trust from prospective customers.B)Knowing the likes and dislikes of customers.C)Demonstrating their superiority on the spot.D)Responding promptly to customer feedback.55.What do we learn about the seniors in the Brookdale community?A)Most of them are interested in using the Sentab.B)They are quite at ease with high-tech products.C)They have much in common with seniors elsewhere.D)Most of them enjoy a longer life than average people.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.中国幅员辽阔，人口众多，很多地方人们都说自己的方言。

2019年6月大学英语六级真题及答案(文都版)

2019年6月大学英语六级真题及答案（文都版）What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?正确答案B). It might be a blessing or disaster in the making.解题思路：定位第一段第一句话前半部分“either the best，or the worst thing...”，这就是他的想法，选项B中blessing or a disaster 正是对这句话的同义转述，所以是正确选项。

其他关于AI的选项都是对一部分看法，而不是整体看法，所以排除。

47. What did Hawking say about the creation of the LCFI?正确答案C). It was extremely important to the destiny of mankind.解题思路：定位第一段第一句话后半部分，也就and后面的句子，就是对于这个LCFI建立所做的评论“crucial to the future of our civilization and our species.”。

选项C中的extremely important正是对crucial 的同义重述；destiny of mankind 对应原文civilization and our species。

所以选项C是正确答案。

48. What did Hawking say was a welcome change in AI research?正确答案A). The shift of research focus from the past to the future.解题思路：定位文章第二段最后一句，找到welcome change 这两个词，可以发现整句话的说的是不再研究历史，而是开始研究智能的未来，对应C 选项中，的past是原文history的同义转述，所以正确答案是A。

For years, nutritionists have recommended that pasta be kept to a 26 , to cut calories, prevent fat build-up and stop blood sugar 27 up.The low-carbohydrate food movement gave birth to such diets as the Atkins, Paleo and Keto, w垃ch advised swapping foods like bread, pasta and potatoes for vegetables, fish and meat. More recently the trend of swapping spaghetti for vegetables has been 28 by clean-eating experts.But now a 29 review and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers found that not only does pasta not cause weight gain, but three meals a week can help people drop more than half a kilogram over four months. The reviewers found that pasta had been unfairly demonized (妖魔化）because it had been 30 in with other, more fat-promoting carbohydrates."The study found that pasta�dn't 31 to weight gain or increase in body fat," said l e ad au-thor Dr John Sievenpiper. "In 32 the evidence, we can now say with some confidence that pas扫does not have an 33 effect on body weight outcomes when it is consumed as part of a healthy dietary pattern." In fact, analysis actually showed a small weight loss. So 34 to concen1s, perhaps pasta can be part of a healthy diet.Those involved in the 35 trials on average ate 3.3 servings of pasta a week西tead of other carbohydrates, one serving equaling around half a cup.

Mall s are emptying. The d epressing stories ju stk e e p coining. Reading the ean血gs announce1nents of lar ge retail stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, an d际get is about as uplift i l1g as a totrr of叨intensive care unit. The internet is apparently ta ki ngdo\\111 yet another il1dustiy. B忧ck and nior t ar stores (实体店）seem to be going the way of the yellowpages. S ure e nough, the Ce11.Sus B m·eau j ust released d a ta s h owin g that online retail sales surg e d15.2 percent between the fu-st qua1ter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.[B]But before you dmnp all of yom·retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. L oo ki ngonly at that 15.2 percent "surge" would be misleading. It was an increase t hat was on a small baseof 6.9 percent. Even when a血y number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.[C]More than 20 yea1"S after the internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us thatb百ck and mo1tar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the frrst quarter of 2016. Theirdata show that 01让y0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginningof 2015 and 2016.[D]So, despite all the talk about drone (无人机）deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executivesexpressing ar议ety over cons�ers going online, and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming thatAmazon has a "huge antitrust problem," the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Ofcourse, the closed stores, depressed executives, and·sinking stocks suggest othenvise. What's thereal story?[E] Many firn15 operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble. The retail industry is getting "reinvented," as we describe in our new book Matchmakers. It's standing in the path of what Schumpetercalled a gale (大风）of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and asit has reached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of Macy'sput it recently, "We're frankly scratching our heads."[F]But it's not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the bubble, brick and mortarretail·was one of those industries the internet was going to·kill—and qttickly. The dot. c on1 bustdiscredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, conventional retailers'confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales. And then thegale hit.[ G]It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn't a simple battle to the death between bricks and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasingu s e o f a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they sea:r·c h, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new technologies to inno_vate just about everything stores do fron1 managing inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.[H]More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on yotff doorstep, Apple's n1assively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon's small steps in the san1e曲ection ar·e whatshould keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to n1ention the large ntunber of creative newretailers, like Bonobos, that are blencting online and offline experiences in creative ways.[I]Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and it's also not happening on what used to be called"Internet Time." Some internet-driven chai1ges have happened quickly, of course. Craigslist qtticklyovertook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But 1uany widelyanticipated changes weren't quick, and some haven't really started. With the benefit of hindsight·(后见之明），it loo k s like the i n t e rn e t w i l l t ransfonn the e con om y at s omethi ng like th e pace of otherg r eat iI1v enti ons like e lec t ric i ty.

Even five ye釭s ago 1nost p e op l e f a ced a choice. S i t at your co m puter1 probab l y at home or at tl1e office, se扣，ch and browse, and buy.

Even when a retailer gets a cust omer to walk in the store, she can eas ily see if tl1ere's a better d e al onlme or at ai1other store nearby.[L]So far, tl1e n1呴晌g1nany匝ge re t a i lers have done in response to all this is to open o咄ne stores, so people ,;v诅con1e to them directl y rather than to Amazon and i岱smaller online rivals. Many ar e ha血g the san1e problem that newspapers have had. Even if they get online traffic, th e y struggle to n1ake enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline.[M]A few seem to be making tllis work. Among large traditional retailers, W a lmart recently reported the best resul朽，leading its stock price to surge, while Macy's, Target, and Nordstrom's dropped. Yet \�T almaii:'s year-over-y ear online sales only grew 7 percent, leading i区CEO to lament (哀叹），"Growth here is too slow." Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazon filed the one-click patent, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions. A recent study gr aded more than 600 internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and pay. Almost half of the sites didn't get a passing grade and only 18 percent got an A or B.[N]The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data. Unfortunately, part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable. Our deep look into those data and their preparation revealed serious problems. It seems likely that Census simply m达cl郘sifies a large chunk of online sales. It is certain小at小e Census procedures, which lump the online sales of ma j or traditional retailers like Walmart with "non-store retailers" like food trucks, can mask m aj or changes in individual retail categories. The bureau could easily present their data in more useful ways, but they have chosen not to.[O]Despite the turmoil, brick and mortar won't disappear any rune soon. The big questions are which, if any, of the lar g e traditional retailers will still be on the scene m a decade or two because they haYe successfully reinvented themselves, which new players will operate busy stores on Main汕eemaybe even in shop p ing malls, and how小e shopping and bu yin g experience will have ch邸g ed in each retail catego ry. Investors shouldn't write off brick and mortar. Whether小ey shottld bet on the traditional players who皿1those stores now is another matter.36.Although online retailing h郘existed for some twenty years, nearly half of tl1e皿e1net retailers stillfail to receive satisfactory feedback from consumers, according to a recent stuvey.37.Innovative retailers integrate internet teclmotogies with conventional re皿血g to create nevretail models.38.Despite what the Census data suggest, the valu e of'physical ret a il's stocks has been巾opping.39.Internet-driven changes in the retail indust11r didn't take place as quicldy as·widely皿icipated.40.Statistics indicate that brick and mo1iar sales still n1ade up the lion's share of the retail busil1ess.panies that successfully combine online and offline busmess 1nodels n1ay prove to be a big concem for traditional retailers.42.Brick and 1no1tar retailer s'f a i th in their busin ess was stre n g th e n e d w h e n t he do t.c om bubb le burst.43.Despite the tren1endou s c h a l l e n g es f r onl o咖e re扫iling,tra di tio n al ret ai l ing w i l l b e h ere t o st ay forq田te son1e t ilne.44.With tl1e rise o f o咄ne conunerce, physical re t a i l stores a re l i l<ely t o s可fer the sam e fate邸the yellow pages.45.The ,:\ride use of sn1art p hones has made i t 1nore cornplex for traditional retailers to reinvent t h eirbusiness.Section CDirections: Tliere m·e 2 passages in this se t ion Each passag e is foll o w e d by some question s or unfinished Sta勋nents.F01、each of them there are four choices m a rk e d AJ, BJ, CJ and D).

" We spend a great deal of time s tu d yin g histo ry," Hawking said, "which, let's face it, is mostly the history of stupidity. So it's a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence."W血e the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI, raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a w诅of its own, he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring. "The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge," he said. "We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI. Perhaps with the tools of this new technological revolution, we will be able to undo some of the damage done to the natural world by the last one—industrialisation. And surely we will aim to finally eradicate disease and poverty. And every aspect of our lives w山be transformed In sho比success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation."Huw Price, the centre's ac�demic director and the Bertrand Russell professor of philosophy at Can1-bridge University, where Hawking is also an academic, said that the centre came about partially as a result of the university's Centre for Existential Risk. That institute examined a wider range of potential problems for humanity, while the LCFI has a narrow focus.AI pioneer Margaret Boden, professor of cognitive science at the University of Sussex, praised the progress of such discussions. 心,recently as 2009, she said, the topic wasn't taken se1iously, even am ong AI researchers. "AI .is hugely exciting," she said, "but it has limitations, which present grave dange1'S given uncritical use."The academic community is not alone in warning about the potential dangers of AI as well as the potential benefits. A number of pioneers from the technology industry, most famolIBly the en杠epren画Elon Musk, have also expressed their concerns about the damage that a super-intelligent AI coltld do to hmnanity.46.What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?A)It would be vital to the progress of human civilisation.B)It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.C)It might present chaJlenges as well as o pportunities.D)It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.47.Wl1at did Hawldng say about the creation of the LC FI?A)It would acce ler ate the prog ress of AI resea rch.B)It wou l d 111扛k a s tep fo1--w扛d in the AI indus try.C)It ,,v as ex廿en1e l y ilnpo印nt to the destiny of hurnanl<lnd.D)It ,,v as扣1acl lieve1nent of 111咄i-d i s ciplinary collaboration.48.Wl1at did Ha,vl血g say was a wel cmn e change it1 AI research?A)Tl1e sl血of rese釭ch focus frmn the past to the future.B)The sl血of research fron1 the o i"J to ilnplernentation.C)T11e greater e1nphasis on the negative ilnpact of AI.D)The increasing awareness of 111扣曲nd's p匈stupidity.49."i11at concen1s did Hawl<lng raise about AI?A)It n1ay exceed htun邸血elligence sooner or later.B)It 1nay ulti1nately over-ainplify the luunan m皿C)Super-血elligence1nay cause its own destruction.D)Super沁telligence1nay eventually r面n mankind.50.What do we le血1about son1e entrepreneurs from the technology industry?A)Tl1ey are much influenced by the academic community.B)They are n1ost likely to benefit fron1 AI development.C)They share the same concerns about AI as academics.D)They believe they can keep AI under human control.Pa ssage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups (初创公司）want in on the action. What they sometiines lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the country's largest owner of retirement communities, has been inviting a few select en订epreneurs just to move in for a few days, show off their products and hear�r hat th e-residents have to say.That's what brought Dayle Rodriguez, 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez _is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sen组b.The startup's product, SentabTV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable "ith computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a ren1ote control."It's nothing new, it's nothing too complicated and it's natural because lots of people have TV remotes," says Rodriguez.But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room. Instead, Ro中超uez solicits residents'advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afte1noon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong (麻将）．R o driguez says it's important that residents here don't feel like he's selling them son1etl血g.·'I've had more feedback in a passive approach," he says. "P lay i ng pool, play i ng cards, having dinner, having lunch," al l work better "than going through a sur vey of questions. When they get to即ow n1e and to t1--i1st me, 血o咖g for sure I'm not selling them something—there'll be 1nore honest feedback f r o1n then1."Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to m ove into one of Brookdale's 1,100 senior living con1-munities. Other new products in the program have inclu d e d a kind of f1tll-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress the1nselves.Mary Lou Busch, 93, agreed to try the Sentab sys t e m. She tells Rodrigue z that it might be good for someone, but not for her."I have the comput er and FaceTir ne, which I talk wi t h m y family o n," she ex呻lains.She also has an iPad and a s martphone.

2019年6月英语六级真题及答案(第1套)Part ⅠWriting (30 minutes)Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of team spirit and communication in the workplace. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【答案】Outstanding leaders always give top priority to team building. They know a cohesive team composed of great communicators plays an irreplaceable role in enhancing the operational efficiency and productivity of an enterprise. Just as they say, many hands make light work.Team members will only become highly motivated to fulfill their own duties when they stand united in the pursuit of a common goal and communicate smoothly. Moreover, mutual respect, support and encouragement in a team helps foster a sense of belonging, maintain harmony in the workplace and thus improve job satisfaction. Consider the tech giant Alibaba, whose huge success, as its CEO Jack Ma acknowledges, benefits considerably from joint efforts and efficient coordination among both clerks and departments, driving the corporation to handle arduous tasks, confront tough challenges and even pull through severe crises.In short, team spirit and effective communication are conducive to employee and business performance alike. Any leader who has an ambition to run a successful business, therefore, must create a corporate culture that emphasizes teamwork and communication skills.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Best Retailers Combine Bricks and Clicks[A] Retail profits are falling sharply. Stores are closing. Malls are emptying. The depressing stories just keep coming. Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit. The Internet is apparently taking down yet another industry. Brick and mortar stores （实体店）seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, the Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.[B] But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. Looking only at that 15.2 percent “surge” would be misleading. It was an increase that was on a small base of 6.9 percent. Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.[C] More than 20 years after the Internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016. Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015 and 2016.[D] So, despite all the talk about drone（无人机）deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing anxiety over consumers going online, and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a “huge antitrust problem,”the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Of course, the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. What’s the real story?[E] Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble. The retail industry is getting reinvented, as we describe in our new book Matchmakers. It’s standing in the path of what Schumpeter called a gale（大风）of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of Macy’s put it recently, “We’re frankly scratching our heads.”[F] But it’s not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the bubble, brick-and-mortar retail was one of those industries the Internet was going to kill-and quickly. The bust discredited most predictions of that sort. And in the years that followed, conventional retailers’ confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.[G] It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn’t a simple battle to the death between bricks and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array ofInternet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.[H] More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep, Apple’s massively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon’s small steps in the same direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to mention the large number of creative new retailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.[I] Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and it’s also not happening on what used to be called “Internet Time.” Some Internet-driven changes have happened quickly, of course. Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely anticipated changes weren’t quick, and some haven’t really started. With the benefit of hindsight （后见之明），it looks like the Internet will transform the economy at something like the pace of other great inventions like electricity. B2B commerce, for example, didn’t move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that doesn't mean it won’t do so over the next few decades.[J] But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though it hasn’t been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online and therefore don’t need to go to as many stores to find what they want. There’s a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds, which is one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.[K] The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new level of complexity to the process of retail reinvention. Even five years ago most people faced a choice. Sit at your computer, probably at home or at the office, search and browse, and buy. Or head out to the mall, or Main Street, look and shop, and buy. Now, just about everyone has a smartphone, connected to the Internet almost everywhere almost all the time. Even when a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store, she can easily see if there’s a better deal online or at another store nearby.[L] So far, the main thing many large retailers have done in response to all this is to open online stores, so people will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller online rivals. Many are having the same problem that newspapers have had. Even if they get online traffic, they struggle to make enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline.[M] A few seem to be making this work. Among large traditional retailers, Walmart recently reported the best results, leading its stock price to surge, while Macy’s, Target, and Nordstrom’s dropped. Yet Walmart’s year-over-year online sales only grew 7 percent, leading its CEO to lament （哀叹），“Growth here is too slow.”Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazon filed the one-click patent, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions. A recentstudy graded more than 600 Internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and pay. Almost half of the sites didn’t get a passing grade and only 18 percent got an A or B.[N] The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data. Unfortunately, part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable. Our deep look into those data and their preparation revealed serious problems. It seems likely that Census simply misclassifies a large chunk of online sales. It is certain that the Census procedures, which lump the online sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart in with “non-store retailers” like food trucks, can mask major changes in individual retail categories. The bureau could easily present their data in more useful ways, but they have chosen not to.[O] Despite the turmoil, brick and mortar won’t disappear any time soon. The big questions are which, if any, of the large traditional retailers will still be on the scene in a decade or two because they have successfully reinvented themselves, which new players will operate busy stores on Main Streets and maybe even in shopping malls, and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in each retail category. Investors shouldn't write off brick and mortar. Whether they should bet on the traditional players who run those stores now is another matter.36. Although online retailing has existed for some twenty years, nearly half of the Internet retailers still fail to receive satisfactory feedback from consumers, according to a recent survey.【答案】M37. Innovative retailers integrate Internet technologies with conventional retailing to create new retail models.【答案】G38. Despite what the Census data suggest, the value of physical retail’s stocks has been dropping.【答案】D39. Internet-driven changes in the retail industry didn't take place as quickly as widely anticipated.【答案】I40. Statistics indicate that brick and mortar sales still made up the lion’s share of the retail business.【答案】C41. Companies that successfully combine online and offline business models may prove to be a big concern for traditional retailers.【答案】H42. Brick and mortar retailers’ faith in their business was strengthened when the bubble burst.【答案】F43. Despite the tremendous challenges from online retailing, traditional retailing will be here to stay for quite some time.【答案】O44. With the rise of online commerce, physical retail stores are likely to suffer the same fate as the yellow pages.【答案】A45. The wide use of smartphones has made it more complex for traditional retailers to reinvent their business.【答案】KSection CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”, and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the future of intelligence as “crucial to the future of our civilization and our species".Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI) at Cambridge University, a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of the open-ended questions raised by the rapid pace of development in AI research. “We spend a great deal of time studying history," Hawking said, ''which, let’s face it, is mostly the history of stupidity. So it’s a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence."While the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI, raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a will of its own, he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring. “ The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge,” he said. “We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI. Perhaps with the tools of this new technological revolution, we will be able to undo some of the damage done to the natural world by the last one—industrialisation. And surely we will aim to finally eradicatedisease and poverty. And every aspect of our lives will be transformed. In short, success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation."Huw Price, the centre’s academic director and the Bertrand Russell professor of philosophy at Cambridge University, where Hawking is also an academic, said that the centre came about partially as a result of the university’s Centre for Existential Risk. That institute examined a wider range of potential problems for humanity, while the LCFI has a narrow focus.AI pioneer Margaret Boden, professor of cognitive science at the University of Sussex, praised the progress of such discussions. As recently as 2009, she said, the topic wasn’t taken seriously, even among AI researchers. “AI is hugely exciting," she said, ''but it has limitations, which present grave dangers given uncritical use.”The academic community is not alone in warning about the potential dangers of AI as well as the potential benefits. A number of pioneers from the technology industry, most famously the entrepreneur Elon Musk, have also expressed their concerns about the damage that a super-intelligent AI could do to humanity.46. What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?A) It would be vital to the progress of human civilisation.B) It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.C) It might present challenges as well as opportunities.D) It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.【答案】B47. What did Hawking say about the creation of the LCFI?A) It would accelerate the progress of AI research.B) It would mark a step forward in the AI industry.C) It was extremely important to the destiny of humankind.D) It was an achievement of multi-disciplinary collaboration.【答案】C48. What did Hawking say was a welcome change in AI research?A) The shift of research focus from the past to the future.B) The shift of research from theory to implementation.C) The greater emphasis on the negative impact of AI.D) The increasing awareness of mankind’s past stupidity.【答案】A49. What concerns did Hawking raise about AI?A) It may exceed human intelligence sooner or later.B) It may ultimately over-amplify the human mind.C) Super-intelligence may cause its own destruction.D) Super-intelligence may eventually ruin mankind.【答案】D50. What do we learn about some entrepreneurs from the technology industry?A) They are much influenced by the academic community.B) They are most likely to benefit from AI development.C) They share the same concerns about AI as academics.D) They believe they can keep AI under human control.【答案】CPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $ 30 billion by next year, and startups （初创公司）want in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the country’s largest owner of retirement communities, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days, show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.That’s what brought Dayle Rodriguez, 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startup’s product, SentabTV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control.“It’s nothing new, it’s nothing too complicated and it’s natural because lots of people have TV remotes,” says Rodriguez.But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room. Instead, Rodriguez solicits residents’ advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong （麻将）.Rodriguez says it’s important that residents here don’t feel like he’s selling them something. “I’ve had more feedback in a passive approach,” he says. “Playing pool, playing cards, having dinner, having lunch,” all work better “than going through a survey of questions. When they get to know me and to trust me, knowingfor sure I’m not selling them something—there’ll be more honest feedback from them.”Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale’s 1,100 senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themselves.Mary Lou Busch, 93, agreed to try the Sentab system. She tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her.“I have the computer and FaceTime, which I talk with my family on,” she explains. She also has an iPad and a smartphone. “So I do pretty much everything I need to do.”To be fair, if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more technophobic （害怕技术的） seniors, he might have ended up in the wrong Brookdale community. This one is located in the heart of Southern California’s aerospace corridor. Many residents have backgrounds in engineering, business and academic circles.But Rodriguez says he’s still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: “People are more tech-proficient than we thought.”And besides, where else would he learn to play mahjong?51. What does the passage say about the startups?A) They never lose time in upgrading products for seniors.B) They want to have a share of the seniors’ goods market.C) They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.D) They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.【答案】B52. Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to_______ .A) have an interview with potential customersB) conduct a survey of retirement communitiesC) collect residents’ feedback on their productsD) show senior residents how to use IT products【答案】C53. What do we know about SentabTV?A) It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.B) It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.C) It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.。

2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题答案与详解（第二套）Part I Writing (30 minutes) 【参考范文】How to deal with the complicated interpersonal relationships always remains a major worry for most of us. Wise words or books that aim to teach us to tackle this daunting issue are, almost without exception, putting stress on mutual understanding and respect, the significance of which seems self-evident.Mutual understanding requires us to put ourselves in each other's place and be forgiving of others5 difficulties. By doing so, we will become more easy-going and accessible, and thus more likely to avoid unnecessary conflicts and frictions with others, a common trigger for a failed relationship. Mutual respect—for privacy, lifestyles, hobbies, professions, opinions and the like— helps create a friendly atmosphere that encourages us to share and exchange our ideas openly without the fear of feeling offended.To sum up, this principle of socializing is certainly a prerequisite for healthy and stable interpersonal relationships. Neglect of it will lead us to end up being estranged from, or even hostile to, each other.【范文译文】如何处理复杂的人际关系始终是我们大多数人的一大烦恼。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain 26 , people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.Sometimes we see things as human because we are 27 . In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute 28 to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can 29 loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been 30 in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to the researchers, the participants' phones 31 substituted for real friends.At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own “beliefs and 32 .”So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are 33 with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferredthem—especially in 34 situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with gills (护栅) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The purchasers saw this 35 as increasing a car's friendliness.A) alleviate I) desiresB) apparently J) excludedC) arrogant K) featureD) associated L) lonelyE) circumstances M) separateF) competitive N) spectacularlyG) conceded O) warrantH) consciousnessSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.[A] Though he didn’t come from a farming family, from a young age Tim Joseph was fascinated by the idea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he got hooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea that all energy and wealth comes from the sun really intrigued him He thought the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, the higher the profit to the farmer.[B] Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2009, he and his wife Laura launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in northern New York. He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand forgrass-fed products currently exceeds supply. Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25-30% annual growth rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir (发酵乳饮品) on the other hand, have in the last year increased by over 38%. This is in comparison with a drop of just under 1% in the total yogurt and kefir market according to natural and organic marketresearch company SPINS. Joseph’s top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasn’t going to suffice[C] His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma Lea farm in New York. The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convent from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during the last two years.[D] All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it began with no end in sight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics. Grass-fed milk can fetch up to 2.5 times the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed. These practices include grazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland’s natural seed bunk, and fertil ized by the cows’ own fertilizer[E] Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement. Grazing herds stimulate microbial (微生物的) activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.[F] In the grass fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Going grass-fed is a safe refuge, a way for family-scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to the point where financially, what they’re doing is not working. That’s when they call Maple Hill. If the farm is well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin. Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thousands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management. Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer’s milk at a guaranteed bas e price, plus quality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butter fat and other solids.[G] While Maple Hill's conversion program is unusually hands on and comprehensive, it’s just one of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing t he way America farms. Joseph calls sharing his knowledge network through peer-to-peer learning a core piece of the company’s culture. Last summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate John Smith launched Big Picture Beef, a network of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from 125 producers this year. Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage of farm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, he’s received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers.[H] Smith says he’ll provide services ranging from formal seminars to on-farm workshops on holistic (整体的) management, to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline for farmers who are converting. In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and a calf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union.[1] Though advocates portray grass fed products as a win-win situation for all, they do have downsides. Price, for one, is an issue. Joseph says his products are priced10-20% above organic versions, but depending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers could pay a premium of 30-50% or more for grass-fed. As for the meat, Smith says his grass-fed hamburger will be priced20-25% over the conventional alternative. But a look at the prices on online grocer Fresh Direct suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35-60%，[J] And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed. For both beef and dairy production it requires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland. Grass-fed beef production tends to be more labor-intensive as well. But Smith counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government corn subsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human heath and animal welfare, grass-fed is the more cost-effective model. “The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapest meat,” he says.[K] Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based protein bars. Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be endurance athletes; now they’re advocates of grass-fed meat. Soon after launching EPIC’S mo st successful product - the Bison Bacon Cranberry Bar - Collins and Forrest found they’d exhausted their sources for bison (北美野牛) raised exclusively on pasture. When they started researching the supply chain, they learned that only 2-3% of all bison is actually grass-fed. The rest is feed-lot confined and fed grain and corn. [L] But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had the resources they needed to expand their supply chain. So the company teamed up withWisconsin-based rancher Northstar Bison. EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of $2.5 million worth of young bison that will be raised according to its grass-fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price. The message to young people who might not otherwise be able to afford to break into the business is,“You can purchase this $3 million piece of land here, because I’m guaranteeing you today you'll have 1,000 bison on it.’ We’re bringing new blood into the old, conventional farming ecosystem, which is really cool to see,” Collins explains.36. Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milk prices of the global market.37. Over the years, Tim Joseph’s partners have helped many dairy farmers to switch to grass-fed.38. One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken into consideration when we assess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39. Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when they saw its advantage in terms of profits.40. Tim Joseph’s grass-fed program is only one example of how American farming practice is changing.41. Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energy and wealth to mankind.42. One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually more expensive than conventional ones.43. Grass fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44. When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed products fell short of demand.45. A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison met was scarce.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 markedA）, 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.Schools are not just a microcosm(缩影) of society: they mediate it too. The best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside-- at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. This is ambitious in any circumstances. and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright(直接地).Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in Borneo, a sports tour to Barbados-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. Parents are being asked for thousands of pounds. Though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange them do. Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can’t afford breakfast. The Child Poverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. The discrepancy is startlingly apparent. Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising French on a language exchange can fire c hildren’s passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life’s possibilities. Educational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores inA-level tests. In this globalised age, there is a good case for international travel. and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday. Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures. some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be truly life-changing. They should be applauded. Methods such as whole-school fundraising. with the proceeds(收益) pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuel community spirit.But ￡3,000 trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over ￡30,000. Such initiatives close doors for many pupils. Some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips. Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind.The Department for Education’s guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs. However, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips. which are becoming increasinglycommon. Schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed. But the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged.46. What does the author say best schools should do?A) Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B) Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C) Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D) Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.47. What does the author think about school field trips?A) They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B)They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C) They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D) They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.48. What does the author suggest can help build community spirit?A) Events aiming to improve community services.B) Activities that help to fuel students’ ingenuity.C) Events that require mutual understanding.D) Activities involving all students on campus.49. What do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field trips?A) They want their children to participate even though they don’t see much benefit.B) They don’t want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C) They don’t want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite the cost.D)They want their children to experience adventures but they don’t want them to run risks,50. What is the author’s expectat ion of schools?A) Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B) Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C) Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D) Giving poor students preferential treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine(未受污染的) waters around the Antarctic could see king penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to a new study. The study’s report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world’s last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds.Co-author Céline Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, w arned:“If there’re no actions aimed at haling or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human- induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may son disappear.” The findings come amid growing concern ov er the future of the Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill (磷虾) population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But today’s report is the starkest warning yet of the potentially devastating impact of climate change and human exploitation on the Antarctic’s delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: “Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins - 1.1 million breeding pairs - will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100.” King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Front - an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a hugeabundance of marine life - is being pushed further south, This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer. And as the distance between their breeding grounds and their food grows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said:“The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems." Penguins are sensitive indicators of changes in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine ecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.51. What will happen by 2100, according to a new study?A)King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B)Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52. What do we learn from the findings of a separate study?A)Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B)Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C)Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D)Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53. What does the passage say about king penguins?A) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54. What happens when sea levels rise in the Antarctic?A) Many baby king penguins can’t have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C) Whales will invade king penguins’ breeding grounds.D) Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55. What do we learn about the Southern Ocean?A)The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B)Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C)It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D)Only a few of its islands can serve as huge breeding grounds for king penguins.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

York.He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand forgrass-fed products currently exceeds supply.Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25-30% annual growth rate.Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir (发酵乳饮品) on the other hand, have in the last year increased by over 38%.This is in comparison with a drop of just under 1% in the total yogurt and kefir market according to natural and organic market research company SPINS.Joseph’s top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasn’t going to suffice[C] His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma Lea farm in New York.The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed.In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convent from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain.Since 2010, the couple has helped 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during the last two years.[D] All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it began with no end in sight.Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert.But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics.Grass-fed milk can fetch up to 2.5 times the price of conventional milk.Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins.By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed.These practices include grazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland’s natural seed bunk, and fertilized by the cows’own fertilizer[E] Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement.Grazing herds stimulate microbial (微生物的) activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon.And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.[F] In the grass fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market.The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus.Going grass-fed is a safe refuge, a way forfamily-scale farms to stay ually a farmer will get to the point where financially, what they’re doing is not working.That’s when they call Maple Hill.If the farm is well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin.Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thousands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management.Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer’s milk at a guaranteed base price, plus quality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butter fat and other solids.[G] While Maple Hill's conversion program is unusually hands on and comprehensive, it’s just one of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms.Joseph calls sharing his knowledge network through peer-to-peer learning a core piece of the company’s st summer, Massachusettsgrass-fed beef advocate John Smith launched Big Picture Beef, a network of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from 125 producers this year.Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage of farm members.Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, he’s received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers.[H] Smith says he’ll provide services ranging from formal seminars to on-farm workshops on holistic (整体的) management, to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline for farmers who are converting.In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and a calf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union.[1] Though advocates portray grass fed products as a win-win situation for all, they do have downsides.Price, for one, is an issue.Joseph says his products are priced10-20% above organic versions, but depending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers could pay a premium of 30-50% or more for grass-fed.As for the meat, Smith says his grass-fed hamburger will be priced20-25% over the conventional alternative.But a look at the prices on online grocer Fresh Direct suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35-60%,[J] And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed.For both beef and dairy production it requires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland.Grass-fed beef production tends to be more labor-intensive as well.But Smith counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government corn subsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human heath and animal welfare, grass-fed is the more cost-effective model.“The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapest meat,”he says.[K] Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based protein bars.Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be endurance athletes; now they’re advocates of grass-fed meat.Soon after launching EPIC’S most successful product - the Bison Bacon Cranberry Bar - Collins and Forrest found they’d exhausted their sources for bison (北美野牛) raised exclusively on pasture.When they started researching the supply chain, they learned that only 2-3% of all bison is actually grass-fed.The rest is feed-lot confined and fed grain and corn.[L] But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had the resources they needed to expand their supply chain.So the company teamed up with Wisconsin-based rancher Northstar Bison.EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of $2.5 million worth of young bison that will be raised according to its grass-fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price.The message to young people who might not otherwise be able to afford to break into the business is,“You can purchase this $3 million piece of land here, because I’m guaranteeing you today you'll have 1,000 bison on it.’We’re bringing new blood into the old, conventional farming ecosystem, which is really cool to see,”Collins explains.36.Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milk prices of the global market.37.Over the years, Tim Joseph’s partners have helped many dairy farmers to switch to grass-fed.38.One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken into consideration when we assess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39.Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when they saw its advantage in terms of profits.40.Tim Joseph’s grass-fed program is only one example of how American farming practice is changing.41.Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energy and wealth to mankind.42.One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually more expensive than conventional ones.43.Grass fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44.When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed products fell short of demand.45.A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison met was scarce.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A）, B）, C）and D）.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Schools are not just a microcosm(缩影) of society: they mediate it too.The best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside-- at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons.This is ambitious in any circumstances.and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright(直接地).Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in Borneo, a sports tour to Barbados-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools.Parents are being asked for thousands of pounds.Though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange them do.Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can’t afford breakfast.The Child Poverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line.The discrepancy is startlingly apparent.Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising French on a language exchange can fire children’s passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life’s cational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores in A-level tests.In this globalised age, there is a good case for international travel.and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday.Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures.some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be trulylife-changing.They should be applauded.Methods such as whole-schoolfundraising.with the proceeds(收益) pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuel community spirit.But ￡3,000 trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over ￡30,000.Such initiatives close doors for many pupils.Some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips.Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind.The Department for Education’s guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs.However, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips.which are becoming increasingly common.Schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed.But the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged.46.What does the author say best schools should do?A) Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B) Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C) Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D) Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.47.What does the author think about school field trips?A) They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B)They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C) They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D) They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.48.What does the author suggest can help build community spirit?A) Events aiming to improve community services.B) Activities that help to fuel students’ ingenuity.C) Events that require mutual understanding.D) Activities involving all students on campus.49.What do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field trips?A) They want their children to participate even though they don’t see much benefit.B) They don’t want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C) They don’t want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite the cost.D)They want their children to experience adventures but they don’t want them to run risks,50.What is the author’s expectation of schools?A) Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B) Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C) Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D) Giving poor students preferential treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine(未受污染的) waters around the Antarctic could see king penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to a new study.The study’s report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world’s last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds. Co-author Céline Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, warned:“If there’re no actions aimed at haling or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human- induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays thesame, the species may son disappear.”The findings come amid growing concern over the future of the Antarctic.Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill (磷虾) population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins.But today’s report is the starkest warning yet of the potentially devastating impact of climate change and human exploitation on the Antarctic’s delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: “Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins - 1.1 million breeding pairs - will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100.”King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea.As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Front - an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a huge abundance of marine life - is being pushed further south, This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer.And as the distance between their breeding grounds and their food grows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said:“The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic.Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems." Penguins are sensitive indicators of changes in marine ecosystems.As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine ecosystems.The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce.Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.51.What will happen by 2100, according to a new study?A)King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B)Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52.What do we learn from the findings of a separate study?A)Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B)Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C)Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D)Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53.What does the passage say about king penguins?A) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54.What happens when sea levels rise in the Antarctic?A) Many baby king penguins can’t have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C) Whales will invade king penguins’ breeding grounds.D) Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55.What do we learn about the Southern Ocean?A)The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B)Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C)It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D)Only a few of its islands can serve as huge breeding grounds for king penguins.Part Ⅳ Translation (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.荷花是中国的名花之一, 深受人们喜爱。

2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案（第1套）Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.It’s not difficult for us to come up with sev eral possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.【参考范文译文】俗话说，知识能改变命运。

年六级翻译真题与参考解析

年六级翻译真题与参考解析2019年六级翻译真题如下：For centuries, parents have been telling their children to "eat their greens," and for good reason. Dark, leafy green vegetables such as kale, spinach, and broccoli are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, and they offer a host of health benefits.One important group of nutrients found in green vegetables is antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm our bodies and contribute to disease. Green vegetables are particularly high in antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene.In addition to antioxidants, green vegetables are also a great source of fiber. Fiber is essential for good digestion and can help prevent constipation. It also promotes feelings of fullness, which can help with weight management. Eating a diet rich in fiber has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.Furthermore, green vegetables are low in calories and fat, making them an excellent choice for those watching their weight. They are also cholesterol-free and high in water content, which can help keep our bodies hydrated and our skin looking healthy.When choosing green vegetables, it is important to opt for fresh, organic produce when possible. Organic vegetables are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can be harmful to both our health and the environment. Locally grown vegetables are also a good choice, asthey are fresher and have a smaller carbon footprint compared to those that are transported long distances.To incorporate more green vegetables into your diet, consider adding them to salads, stir-fries, and soups. They can also be used as a topping for sandwiches or blended into smoothies for a nutrient-packed boost.In conclusion, green vegetables are not only delicious but also offer numerous health benefits. From their high antioxidant content to their fiber and water content, they are a powerhouse of nutrients. By incorporatingmore greens into our diets, we can improve our overall health and well-being.参考解析：在几个世纪以来，父母一直告诫孩子们要“多吃绿叶蔬菜”，理由充分。

要知道，从一种语言文字向另一种语言文字转换，有时能够找到一种语言文字在另一种语言文字中的对等词，不过要想全部依赖对等词的转换来达到翻译的目的是几乎不可能的。

不同语言文字所持有的习惯决定了必须根据其中一种语言文字的习惯来适当地增词（或减词）达到多语言交际的目的。

如果机械地按照字面意义直译，不但不能表达原文的思想，精神与形象，而且还会使译文前后矛盾，闹出笑话。

试想，如把“七擒孟获”机械译成to catch /capture Meng Huo for 7 times，不同文化背景的外国读者就很难真正理解这个典故的内涵。

例1 听到你平安的消息，非常高兴！译文： I was very glad on hearing that you were in safety！（增补主语）例2 勤能补拙译文： It is diligence that makes up for the deficiency. （增补强调句里的it）例3 对不起，打扰一下！译文：Excuse me for interrupting you！（增补作宾语的代词you）除了在翻译时要注意即时增补语法功能词之外，有时还需要增补与汉语文化内涵相关的信息。

如：“三个臭皮匠，抵个诸葛亮”理应译文：Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhu Geliang, the master mind. 译文里the master mind就是个增补注释性表达。
