lessons from a Feminist Paradise

[A]On the surface,Sweden appears to be a feminist paradise.Look at any global survey of gender equality and Sweden will be near the top.Family-friendly policies are its norm-with 16 months of paid parental leave,special protections for part-time workers,and state-subsidized preschools where,according to a government website,"gender-awareness education is increasingly common."due to an unfficial quota system,women hold 45 percent of positions in the swedish parliament.they have enjoyed the protection of government agencies with titles like the Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality and the Secretariat of Gender Research.So why are American women so far ahead of their Swedish counterparts in breaking through the glass ceiling?

[B]in a 2012 report,the World Economic Forum found that when it comes to closing the gender gap in"econmic participation and opportunity,"the United States is ahead of not only Sweden but also Finland,Denmark,the Netherlands,Iceland,Germany,and the United Kingdom.Sweden's rank in the report can largely be explained by its political quota system.Though the United States has fewer women in the workorce(68 percent compared to Sweden's 77 percent).American women who choose to be employed are far more likely to work full-time and to hold high-level jobs as manangers or professionals.They also own more businesses,lauch more start-ups(新创办的企业),and more often work in traditionally male fields.As for breaking through the glass ceiling in business,American women are well in the lead.

[C]what explains the American advantage?How can it be that societies like Sweden,where gender equality is vigorously pusued and engorced,have fewer female managers,executives,professionals,and business owners than eh laissez-faire(自由放任的)united states?A new study by clrnell economists Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn gives an explanation.

[D]Generous parental leave policies and readily available part-time options have unintended consequences:instead of strengthening women's attachment to the workplace,they appear to weaken it.In addition to a 16-month leave,a swedish parent has the right to work six hours a day (for a reduced salary)until his or her child is eight years old.Mothers are far more likely than fathers to take advantage of this law,But extended leaves and part-time employment are known to be harmful to careers—for both genders. And with women a second factor comes into play:most seem to enjoy the flexible-time arrangement(once known as the “mommytrack”)and never find their way back to full-time or high-level employment.In sum:generous family-friendly policies do keep more women in the labor market,but they also tend to diminisb their careers.

[E] According to Blau and Kahn,Swedish-style paternal(父亲的)leave policies and flexibletime arrangements pose a second threat to woman’s progress:they make employers cautious about hiring woman for full-time positions at all.Offering ajob to a man is the safer bet.He is far less likely to take a year of parental leave and then return on a reduced work schedule for the next eight years.

[F]I became aware of the triale of career-focused European woman a few years ago when I met a post-doctoral student from Germany who was then a visiting fellow at Johns Hopkins. She was astonished by the professional possibilities afforded to young American woman. Her best hope in Germany was a govermment job—prospects for woman in the private sector were dim.”In Germany “ she told me,”we have all the benefits,”but employers don’t’ wan to hire us.”

[G] Swedish economists Magnus Henrekson and Mikael Stenkula addressed the following question in their 2009 study:why are there so few female top executives in the European egalitarian(平等主义的)welfare states?Their answer:”Broad-based welfare-state policies hinder women’s representation in elite competitive positions.”

[H] It is tempting to declare the Swedish policies regressive(退步的)and hail the American system as superior.But that would be shortsighted.The Swedes can certainly take a lesson from the United States and look for ways to clear a path for their ambitious female careerists. But most woman are not committsd careerists.When the Pew Research Center recently asked American parents to identify their”ideal”life arrangement,47 percent of mothers said they would prefer to work park-time and 20percent said they would prefer not to work at all.Fathers answered differrntly:75 percent preferred full-time work.Some version of the Swedish system might work well for a majority of American parents,but the United States is unlikely to fully embrace the Swedish model. Still,we can learn from their experience.

[I]Despite its failure to shatter the glass ceiling,Sweden has one of the most powerful and innovative economies in the world.In its 2011-2012survey,the World Economic Forum ranked Sweden as the “rockstar of the recovery”in the Washington Post,also leads the world in life satisfaction and happiness. It is a society well worth studying,and its efforts to conquer the gender gap impart a vital lesson—though not the lesson the Swedes had in mind。

[J] Sweden has gone farther than any other nation on earth to integrate the sexes and to offer women the same opportunities and freedoms as men.For decades,these descendants of the Vikings have been trying to show the world that the right mix of enlinghtened policy.consciousness raising, and non-sexist child rearingwould close the gender divide once and for all.Yet the divide persists.

[K] A 2012 press release from Statistics Sweden bears the title “Gender Equality in Sweden Treading(踩）Water”and notes:

1、The total income from employment for all ages is lower for women than for men.

2、One in three employed women and one in ten employed men work part-time.

3、Women's working time is influenced by the number and age of theirchildren, but men′s working time is not affected by these factors.

4、Of all employees，only 13 percent of the women and 12 percent of the men have occupations with an even distribution of the sexes.

[L] Confronted with such facts, some Swedish activists and legislators are demanding more ex-treme and far-reaching measures, such as replacing male and female pronouns with a neutral alternative and monitoring children more closely to correct them when they gravitahta(被吸引) toward gendered play. When it came to light last year that mothers, far more than fathers, chose to stay home from work to care for their sick kids. Ulf Kristersson. minister of social security, quickly commissioned a study to determine the causcs of and possiiblce cures for this disturbing stale of affairs.

[M]Swcdish family policies, by accommodating women's preferences efleetively, are reduting the number of women in elite competitive positions. The Swedes will find this paradoxical and try to find solutions. Let us hope these do not include banning gender pronouns, policing children′s play, implementing more gender quotas, or treating women′s special attachment to home and family as a social injustice. Most mothers do not aspire to (向往) elite, competitive full-time positions: the Swedish policies have given them the freedom and opportunity to live the lives they prefer. Americans should look past the gender rhetoric and consider what these Scandina-vians have achieved. On their way to creating a feminist paradise, the Swedes have uninten-tionally created a haven (避风港） for normal mortals.

Section C

Directions: 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 One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Texting has long been bemoaned (哀叹）as the downfall of the written word,””penmanship for illiter,”as one critic called it. To which the proper response is LOL.

Texting properly isn′t writing at all. It′s a “spoken” language that is getting richer and more complex by the year.

First,some historical perspective. Writing was only invented 5,500 years ago. whereas Ianguage probably traces

back at least 80.000 years. Thus talking came first; writing is just a craft that came along later. As such, the first writing was based on the way people talk，with short sentences.

However, while talking is largely subconscious and rapid, writing is deliberate and slow, Over time,writers took advantage of this and started cratting long-winded sentences such as this one:The whole engagement lasted above 12 hours, till the gradual retreat of the Per trsians was changed into a disorderly flight, of which the shameful example was given by the principal leaders and……”

No one talks like that casually — or should. But it is natural to desire to do so for special occasions. In the old days, we didn’t much write like talking because there was no mechanism to reproduce the speed of conversation. But texting and instant messaging do — and a revolution has begun. It involves the crude mechanics of writing, but in its economy, spontaneity and even vulgaritv. texting is actually a new kind of talking, with its own kind of grammar and conventions.

Take LOL. It doesn’t actually mean “laughing out loud” in a literal sense anymore. LOL has evolved into something much subtler and sophisticated and is used even when nothing is remotely amusing. Jocelyn texts “Where have you been?”and Annabelle texts back ，LOL at the library studying for two hours.”LOL signals basic empath)’（同感)between tcxters. easing tension and creating a sense of equality. Instead of having a literal meaning, it docs something - conveying an attitude — just like the -cd ending conveys past tense rather than “meaning.，anything. LOL. of all things, is grammar.

Of course no one thinks about that consciously. But then most of communication operates without being noticed. Over time, the meaning of a word or an expression drifts meat used to mean any kind of food, silly used to mean, believe it or not，blessed.

Civilization, then，is fine 一 people banging away on their smartphones are fluently using a code separate from the one they use in actual writing, and there is no evidence that texting is ruining composition skills. Worldwide people speak differently from the w ay they write, and texting -quick, casual and only intended to be read once — is actually a way of talking with your fingers.

C) It is a trendy way to communicate

Passage Two

Questions 61to 65are based on the following passage.

it's possible to admire oprah winfrey and still wish Harvard hadn't awarded her an honorary doctor of law degree and the commencement(毕业典礼)speaker spot at yesterday's graduation.There's no question Oprah's achievements place her in the temple of American success stories. Talent,charm,and an exceptional work ethic have rarely hurled anyone of world's most successful entertainment icons and the first African-American female billionaire. Honorary degrees are often conferred on non-academic leaders in the arts,business,and politics.Harvard's list in recent years has included Kofi fi Annan,Bill Gates,Meryl Streep,and David Souter.But Oprah's list in recent years has included Kofi Annan,Bill Gates,Mery1 Streep,and david souter.But Oprah's particular brand of celebrity is not a good fit for the values of a university whose motto（座右铭）,Veritas,means truth.Oprah's passionate advocacy extends,unfortunately,to a hearty embrace of fake science.Most notoriously,Oprah's validation of jenny McCarthy's claim that vaccines cause autism(自闭症)has no doubt contributed to much harm through the foolish avoidance of vaccines.

Famous people arc entitled to a few failings, like the rest of us. and the choice of commencement speakers often reflects a balance of insututional pnonties and aspirations. Judging from our conversations with many students. Oprah was a widely popular choice.

But this vote of confidence in Oprah sends a troubling message at precisely the time when American univereities need to do more to advance the cause of reason. As former Dean of Harvard College. Harry Lewis, noted in a blog post about his objections. “It seems vcrv odd for Harvard to honor such a high profile popularizer of the irrational…… at a time when political and religious nonsense so jeopardize the rule of reason in this allegedly enlightened democracy and around the world.”

As America′s oldest and most visible university. Harvard has a spccial opportunity to convey its respcct for science not only through its research and teaching programs but also in its public affirmation of evidence-based inquiry.

Unfortunately，many American universities seem awfully busy protecting their brand name and not nearly busy enough protecting the pursuit of knowledge. A recent article in The Harvard Crimson noted the shocking growth of Harvard′s public relations arm in the last five years and it questioned whether a focus on risk management and avoiding controversywas really the best outward-looking face of this great institution.

As American research universities begin to resemble profit centers and entertainment complexes, it’s easy to lose sight of their primary mission; to produce and spread knowledge.This mission depends on traditions of rational discourse and vigorous defense of the scientific method.Oprah Winfrey’s honoray doctorate was a step in the wrong

direction.

61.what do we learn about Oprah Winfrey from the passage?

A)She was a distinguished graduate of H arvard School of LaW.

B)She worked her way to success in the entertainment industry.

C)She used to abuse her children when she was a young mother.

D)She achieved her fame through persistent advocacy of fake science.

62.Why does the author deem it inappropriate for Harvard to confer an honorary degree on Oprah winfrey?

A) She did not specialize in the study of law.

B)She was known as a supporter of fake science.

C)She was an icon of the entertainment industry

D)She had not distinguished herself academically.

63.How did Harry Lewis react to Harvard’s decision in his blong post ?

A)He was strongly against it.

B)He considered it unpopular.

C)He thought it would help enhance Harvard’s reputation.

D)He thought it represented the will of the Harvard community.

64.What is the author’s regret about many American universities?

A)They show inadequate respect for evidence-based inquiry

B)They fall short of expectations in teaching and research

C)They attach too much importance to public relations

D)They are tolerant of political and religious nonsense

65.What does the author think a prestigious university like H arvard should focus on?

A)Cultivation of student creativity

B)Liberation of the human mind

C)Liberation of the human mind

D)Pursuit of knowledge and truth

2014年6月大学英语六级答案解析（233网校）

作文整体解析：

跟去年12月份的六级相比，作文难度依然保持不变。这次六级作文的题目则中规中矩，同去年题材相似，都是引语论述题，这也是课堂上给各位学员重点强调的未来一段时间大学英语六级作文的命题方向，就是想办法拜托作文模板，考查考生的逻辑思辨和分析能力，进而考出考生真正的英语语言应用能力。比如“Why is it unwise to jump into conclusions upon seeing or hearing?”很像辩论赛的题目，“是眼见为实还是眼见为虚”，结合社会现实和英语谚语“seeing is believing”，要透露出的信息其实就是“seeing is not believing”，扩展开来就是要通过大脑去分析。如最近火热的文章和马伊利，表面上看起来是真爱，但是结果却令人叹息。所以得到文章结论。同理的还有“It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket.”。而“It is unwise to judge a person by appearance.不要以貌取人”。其实不管怎样出题，快速形成自己的观点，联系社会现实和考生自己总是其中不变的规律和大学四六级针对在校大学生的考试特点。

参考作文1：

why it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance.

There is a Chinese saying goes like this: men cannot be judged by their looks. I cannot agree with this point of view any more.

On the one hand, though a charming appearance will leave a good impression on others, one’s look can seldom reflects his or her qualities, capacities and ethics. We cannot say those who are good-looking are more capable and more cultivated than those who are average-looking or ugly-looking. There are so many people who do not have good appearances have made great achievements for the progress of mankind, such as Stephen William Hawking who are even crippled. On the other hand, our appearances are decided by our genes, which are inborn, while our qualities can be cultivated as we grow. We can enrich our minds by learning, but which cannot be reflected on the appearances. To summarize, judging people by appearance is unwise. Therefore I suggest that we should focus on one’s inner world rather than their appearance.

参考作文1：

As old people always put it, "Never judge a book by its cover." However, in most cases, we judge a person just by external appearances. For example, sometimes when we walk down the street at night, we choose to avoid people who are acting tough and loud. In this way we tend to make wrong decisions, because judging someone by appearance can be deceptive.

In dairy life, we try to stay away from people who are called the "bad guy" because they dress a certain way. But we may miss an opportunity to make a good friend, because judgments based on external appearances prevent us from getting to really know a person. If we take the time to get to know the person, we might become friends.

Therefore, in my opinion, judging people just by appearance is superficial and often unfair. After all, we don't know what circumstances the person might be facing or who the person really is. Please embrace everyone you meet and not judge him just by appearances.

参考作文2：

Why is it unwise to jump into conclusions upon seeing or hearing?

Living in an age when the adolescents are lack of the necessary guidance and supervision, we can never fail to figure out the fact that teenagers are become especially self-conscious. Under this circumstance, the youngsters are more likely to believe in what they have listened or seen instead of thinking twice before drawing their conclusions, which is pathetically and undoubtedly considered controversial or even unreasonable.

The reasons why I insist on the viewpoint that we should never directly and irresponsibly come to conclusions only by listening or seeing mainly lie in the following two aspects. To begin with, it is a invariable law to every existence in the world that nothing will stay still even for just one second.So are the things happening around us. What we see or listen may be just some particular period of the development of things, which proves unstable and changeable. In addition, the perspectives we conclude just through seeing or listening are usually one-sided. Drawing conclusions rashly is not objective enough to make our statements persuasive.

To sum up, it is unwise for us to define any thing as what we assume or imagine at first sight. Only by our serious thinking and accurate analyzing can we come up with more rational and reasonable conclusions.

参考作文3：

It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket.

As a common saying goes，“It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket. ”Placing all eggs in one basket means focus all our attention on one thing and fix all our hope on one thing. However, It is wrong and reasonless.

Why placing all eggs in one basket is wrong ? Placing all eggs in one basket tends to reduce the odds of success. By focusing on one thing , people will surely improve their efficiency and proficiency. However, they will also overlook other resources and possibilities，thus，the likelihood of success will be lower. Take Jack, one of my best friends, as a case in point: he started to hunt for jobs in his senior year. Compared with other students who chose different kinds of jobs, he aimed at state-owned firms alone. Unfortunately, getting a decent job in state-owned firms is really hard for him. At last, when others got a job, he was still on the way to his interviews. suppose he choose jobs in a wider range and “place all eggs in different baskets”， he could have gotten a job much easier.Putting all eggs in one basket in unwise, a truth which is applicable to many situations.

As a college student，we should endeavor to master more skills, accumulate different experience and make friends with diverse people.

其实，这种题型考查的内容无论如何变化，考生解题的思路和基本步骤仍然是不变的，即从文章整体意义把握、所填词项词性分析、所填词项语义分析和上下文逻辑语义分析等主要三个方面考虑。

文章从投资者避免投资风险和稳定投资收益话题切入，讨论了如何在美国实现这样的投资行为和投资结果。

本篇文章围绕债券展开。首段通过举例指出了国债的好处。但即使有好处，对于初次购买债券的投资者来说，还是会有两个问题困扰着他们。第一个问题为是否必须在到期日前都持有债券？那答案其实是否定的，并且作者通过正反两个例子指出了债券价值通常与当下市场利率成相反的波动趋势，因为投资债券其实也存在风险，那这也就带来了第二个问题：如何评定风险。作者在文末指出其实债券的市场风险越大，利率也越大。投资者只有在潜在回报非常高的前提下才会投资风险很大的债

券。

本文话题或许对于有些考生来说有些陌生，但是正如前面所述，通过做题初期对选项的词性分类，以及答题过程中对空格处词性的预判，想要做对题目应该也不是件难事儿。

此类题目重点考察考生的信息识别和判断能力，关键是段落关键词、关键信息的再现、段落大意的总结等方式。大家还是按照课堂所教授的方式，先看文章的大小标题获取文章大意，但不要先看文章，直接带问题去搜寻段落，一次最多带着2-3个选项去定位答案，这样更有针对性，也更有效果。

【点评】

瑞典是一个男女平等意识非常强的国家，这篇文章对这种平等政策带来的问题，展开了讨论。

瑞典特殊的政治配额制度让女性在政坛占据一定的位置，但是在职场上，瑞典高职位女性的数量却少于美国。而原因在于瑞典16个月的带薪产假及允许兼职的政策，会造成女性的职业生涯出现一段停滞期。也正是这样的原因，让很多企业在雇佣全职女性员工的时候，保持谨慎。

尽管有这样的问题存在，瑞典仍是全球最具活力和创新力的经济体之一，民众的幸福指数非常高。瑞典在消除性别歧视上做了很多努力，但是歧视依然是存在的。面对这种情况，瑞典的立法机构也在采取一系列的措施。

作者提出，不希望瑞典通过以下的方式解决问题，比如禁用具有性别意义的称呼，加强女性在政坛配额，以及把女性对家庭的依恋也当做是一种性别歧视，因为实际上，大多数的妈妈不想成为精英，而瑞典现行的政策给了她们过自己想过的生活的机会。

Passage One

【解析】

这是一篇关于手机短信的议论文。改编自Time的一篇题为Is Texting Killing the English Language?的文章。文章提到手机短信因文字缩写、话语庸俗而受到批评。作者则认为短信更接近于一种“口”语，并随着时间的推移而变得更加丰富多彩。作者接着对文字和话语进行了历史的展望，话语先于文字产生。手机短信作为一种新的说话方式出现，形成了自己的语法和规则。作者以LOL，meat和silly为例，指出话语的含义会随时间推移产生变化。作者认为短信不会破坏人们的写作技能，而是口头交流的一种新形式。

文章本身话题和语言难度不高，题目设置也比较简单，通过关键词定位到相应段落和句子，结合选项排除法还是比较容易选出正确答案的。

Passage Two

【解析】

本文来自Time上一篇文章，题为“Viewpoint: Oprah as Harvard's Commencement Speaker Is an Endorsement of Phony Science”。文章从作者反对哈佛大学授予奥普拉?温弗瑞荣誉法律博士及作为毕业典礼演讲者展开，剖析现在美国大学的一些弊端。虽然荣誉学位会授予给一些非专业的领导者，但是奥普拉并不适合，她崇尚伪科学，与哈佛大学的座右铭——真理相悖。进而引出现在很多美国大学过于注重公共关系和品牌形象，忽略了追求知识的保护。随着美国研究型大学开始仿照盈利机构和娱乐中心的做法，他们很容易忽视大学的主要使命，即产生和传播知识。其实就是在呼吁美国著名大学，如哈佛大学，应该集中精力在追求知识和真理上。

文章有一定难度，涉及一些难词难句。题目考查细节题和推理题，需准确把握定位句的意思。

【答案】

61 B. She worked her way to success in the entertainment industry.

翻译（中译英）考试既是最难的，又是最灵活的。事实上，传统的押题在改革后的翻译题型中的作用不是特别明显，因为涉及中国的信息量过于复杂。上次第一次考新题型的翻译题，主要面向的是中国的传统文化，我们上课成功压中两题。而这次考试则转向了时事考查，变化是非常明显的。这次考题所考查的分别是“中国热词”、“中国科学院”和“北京治污”这三个主题，尤其是“中国热词”和“北京治污”是时下中国社会最热门的话题，其实“中国科学院”的内容也很有时代感，但对考生而言感觉会更难。

通过本次考题，考生更要明确我们在课堂上强调的，翻译更靠大家平时的积累，扩大阅读面，关注时事，最主要的是在打好英语应用的基础上，多学多练基础的汉译英的翻译技巧。

翻译一：

北京计划未来三年投资7，600亿元治理污染，从减少PM2.5排放入手，这一新公布的计划旨在减少四种主要污染源，包括500多万俩机动车的尾气（exhaust）排放、周边地区燃煤、来自北方的沙尘暴和本地的建筑灰尘。另有850亿元用于新建或升级城市垃圾处理和污水（sewage）处理设施，加上300亿元投资未来三年的植树造林（forestation）

市政府还计划建造一批水循环利用工厂，并制止违章建筑，以改善环境。另外，将更严厉地处罚违反限排规定的行为。

【参考译文】

Beijing is going to invest 760 billion yuan in next three years to control pollution, beginning with cutting down the emission of PM 2.5 . This newly announced project aims to reduce four major sources of pollution, including exhaust from 5000 thousand motor vehicles, coal-burning in surrounding areas, sandstorms from the north and local construction dust. Another 85 billion yuan is used to build or upgrade the facilities of disposing garbage and sewage of the city. In addition, 30 billion to support afforestation programs in next three years.

The municipal government also plans to construct some plants to use cycle water, banning illegal constructions to modify the environment. Furthermore, Beijing will punish those who violate the rules of emission-reduction more severely.

翻译二：

最近，中国科学院（Chinese A cademy of Sciences ）出版了关于其最新科学发现与未来一年展望的年度系列报告。系列报告包括三部分：科学发展报告、高技术发展报告、中国可持续发展战略报告。第一份报告包含中国科学家的最新发现，诸如新粒子研究与H7N9病毒研究的突破，该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的突破。该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的热门领域。如3D打印和人造器官研究。第三份报告呼吁加强顶层设计，以消除工业升级中的结构性障碍，并促进节能减排。

注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

【参考译文】

Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report about its latest scientific findings and the prospect of the next year. The report consists of three parts: science development, more advanced technology development and the sustainable strategy of China. The first one includes the latest findings of Chinese scientists, such as the research of new particle and the breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus. Furthermore, it highlights some problems we need to focus in next few years. The second one announces some heated fields in applied science. For example, the 3-dimension print and the study of human organs. The third one suggests people enhance the top design in order to get rid of the structural obstacles in industrial upgrading and to promote the energy-saving and emission-reduction.

翻译三：

中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪（tuhao）和大妈（dama）都是老词，但是已获取了新的意义。

土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或者喜欢炫耀财富的人，也就是说，土豪有钱，但没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但现在特指不久前金价下跌时大量购买黄精的中国妇女。

土豪和大妈可能会被人收入新版牛津（Oxford）英语词典，至今已有约120个中文词被加进了牛津英语词典，成为了英语语言的一部分。

【参考译文】

The Chinese heated words usually reflect social changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they get different meanings now.

The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords who oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spending money without limits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarded as a special word to call those Chinese women who rushed to purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharply not long ago.

Tuhao and dama may be included in the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to it, becoming a part of English language.
