They say that blood is thicker than water，that our relatives are more important to us than others. Everyone was so kind to the old lady on her birthday. Surely her daughter would make an even bigger effort to please he？
The Present
It was the old lady‘s birthday.
She got up early to be ready for the post. From the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the street，and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters on the rare occasions when anything came.
Today she was sure the would be something. Myra wouldn’t forget her mother ‘s birthday，even if she seldom wrote at other times. Of course Myra was busy. Her husband had been made Mayor，and Myra herself had got a medal for her work the aged.
The old lady was proud of Myra，but Enid was the daughter she loved. Enid had never married，but had seemed content to live with her mother，and teach in a primary school round the corner.
One evening，however，Enid said，“I’ve arranged for Mrs. Morrison to look after you for a few days，Mother. Tomorrow I have to go into hospital——just a minor operation，I‘ll soon be home.”
In the morning she went，but never came back——she died on the operating table. Myra came to the funeral，and in her efficient way arranged for Mrs. Morrison to come in and light the fire and give the old lady her breakfast.
Two years ago that was，and since then Myra had been to see her mother three times，but her husband never.
The old lady was eight today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps——perhaps Myra might come. After all，eighty was a special birthday，another decade lined or endured just as you chose to look at it.
Even if Myra did not come，she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited——like a child. She would enjoy her day.
Yesterday Mrs. Morrison had given the flat an extra clean，and today she had
brought a card and a bunch of marigolds when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake，and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. The little boy，Johnnie，had been up with a packet of mints，and said he wouldn’t go out to play until the post had come.
“I guess you‘ll get lots and lots of presents，”he said，“I did last were when I was six.”
What would she like？ A pair of slippers perhaps. Or a new cardigan. A cardigan would be lovely. Blue’s such a pretty colour. Jim had always liked her in blue. Or a table lamp. Or a book，a travel book，with pictures，or a little clock，with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window，watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
Then clatter，clatter up the stairs. Johnnie knocked at her door.
“Granny，granny，”he shouted，“I‘ve got your post.”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were unsealed cards from old friends. The fourth was sealed，in Myra’s writing. The old lady felt a pang of disappointment.
“No parcel，Johnnie？”
“No，granny.”
Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post. That was it. It would come later by parcel post. She must be patient.
Almost reluctantly she tore the envelope open. Folded in the card was a piece of paper. Written on the card was a message under the printed Happy Birthday ——Buy yourself something nice with the cheque，Myra and Harold.
The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady stooped to pick it up. Her present，her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

2005-2012历年英语六级作文真题及范文
2005 年-2012 年六级作文真题及范文 2012 年6 月英语六级作文题 题目：The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication 要求：commenting on "Dad：Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad" The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication In contemporary society, our life is filled with a variety of anecdotes or stories, and the following is no exception: "Dad：Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad." Funny as it seems, this conversation can be naturally associated with the impacts of Internet on our life: In an era of Internet, the time for interpersonal communication is impaired by online chats or blogs. Apparently, the impacts of the Internet on interpersonal communication are diverse. For one thing, as a vital invention, Internet brings great convenience to our communication, eliminates the barrier of distance, and helps humans to keep in touch wherever and whenever. For another, it is Internet that does not enables family members, friends or classmates to communicate more in a face-to-face way. One case in point is that youngsters may spend hours chatting with acquaintances through QQ or MSN, but rarely do they talk with other face to face. Unfortunately, it we let this trend to continue as it is, the interpersonal relationship will, definitely, become alienated. To my understanding, it is advisable for people to communicate more with their families, friends and acquaintances in real life instead of merely through the Internet. Do bear in mind: Internet is just a tool. 2011 年12 月英语六级作文题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln s famous remark, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend, the first four sharpening the axe."

[外语类试卷]大学英语六级改革适用(阅读)模拟试卷22.doc
[外语类试卷]大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷22 Section B 0 Graying Population Stays in the Pink A)Elderly people are growing healthier, happier and more independent, say American scientists. The results of a 14-year study to be announced later this month reveal that the diseases associated with old age are afflicting fewer and fewer people and when they do strike, it is much later in life. B)In the last 14 years, the National Long-term Health Care Survey has gathered data on the health and lifestyles of more than 20,000 men and women over 65. Researchers, now analysing the results of data gathered in 1994, say arthritis, high blood pressure and circulation problems—the major medical complaints in this age group are troubling a smaller proportion every year. And the data confirms that the rate at which these diseases are declining continues to accelerate. Other diseases of old age— dementia, stroke, arteriosclerosis and emphysema—are also troubling fewer and fewer people. C)"It really raises the question of what should he considered normal ageing", says Kenneth Manton, a demographer from Duke University in North Carolina. He says the problems doctors accepted as normal in a 65-year-old in 1982 are often not appearing until people are 70 or 75. D)Clearly, certain diseases are beating a retreat in the face of medical advances. But there may be other contributing factors. Improvements in childhood nutrition in the first quarter of the twentieth century, for example, gave today's elderly people a better start in life than their predecessors. E)On the downside, the data also reveals failures in public health that have caused surges in some illnesses. An increase in some cancers and bronchitis may reflect changing smoking habits and poorer air quality, say the researchers. "These may be subtle influences", says Manton, "but our subjects have been exposed to worse and worse pollution for over 60 years. It' s not surprising we see some effect". F)One interesting correlation Manton uncovered is that better-educated people are likely to live longer. For example, 65-year-old women with fewer than eight years of schooling are expected, on average, to live to 82. Those who continued their education live an extra seven years. Although some of this can be attributed to a higher income, Manton believes it is mainly because educated people seek more medical attention. G)The survey also assessed how independent people over 65 were, and again found a striking trend. Almost 80% of those in the 1994 survey could complete everyday activities ranging from eating and dressing unaided to complex tasks such as cooking and managing their finances.

英语快速阅读：英语六级考试中的如何提高阅读效率
英语快速阅读：英语六级考试中的如何提高阅读效率在继“出国考托福需要的三种快速阅读（按住ctrl键，鼠标点击可做具体了解）技巧”和“出国考雅思需要快速阅读”等英语快速阅读文章外，精英特速读记忆训练网再推出“英语六级考试中的如何提高阅读效率”以供大家作英语快速阅读技巧及训练的参考。 大学英语六级考试大纲（2006年修订版）明确指出：快速阅读部分采用1~2篇较长篇幅的文章或多篇短文，总长度约为1200词。要求考生运用略读（skimming）和查读（scanning）的技能从篇章中获取信息。略读考核考生通过快速阅读获取文章主旨大意或中心思想的能力，阅读速度约为每分钟120词；查读考核学生利用各种提示，如数字、大写单词、段首或句首词等，快速查找特定信息的能力。 其中“每分钟120词”的“高速度”通常会让大多数考生感到无从下手。其实不必如此，下面介绍三招来实现快速阅读真正的又快又好！ 第一招：明确试题特点，做到有的放矢 从近几年的真题来看，快速阅读理解部分采用的题型有是非判断题、句子填空题和选择题等。 1. 是非判断题 是非判断题要求我们根据原文信息判断题目中各个句子的描述是“对（Yes）”、“错（No）”还是“未提及（Not Given）”。判断的原则是确定题干与原文语句之间的关系，基本标准是：如果题干与原文意思一致，就是“对（Y）”； 如果题干与原文意思不一致，就是“错（N）”； 如果题干与原文既不一致也不矛盾，则说明原文对题干表述的事物不曾提及，或未作判断，即为“未提及（NG）”。 2. 句子填空题 句子填空题主要通过改变原文句子结构，或者变换其中的连接词，或缺省其中的某个句子成分，让考生补充所需内容。这类题目要先分析所缺的部分，是一个词、短语、还是从句等，是名词性、动词性还是形容词性等，填的时候要“对症下药”；最后分析原文相关语句，尽量用原文词语填空，但要做到简练，以保证所填内容的准确性。 3. 选择题 选择题是快速阅读的一个备选题型，四个选项就意味着关键词出现的高频率，也相对降低了解题难度。快速阅读的选择题一般很少有需要推理或综合判断的题目，只需根据题干的关键词定位到文中相关语句，答案即一目了然。 第二招：掌握阅读方法，以求成竹在胸 快速阅读题目考查的阅读方法是略读（skimming）和查读（scanning），强调的是考生在实践语言环境中查询有效信息的能力，其中略读（skimming）的重点在于快速了解文章的中心思想，查读（scanning）的重点在于有目标地找出文中某些特定的信息。
英语六级阅读临战策略
距离大学英语六级考试还有不足一个月的时间，笔者给临战的考生朋友们一些建议。希望能通过本文帮大家梳理一个头绪，在最后的备战中尽量做到有的放矢，弹无虚发。 一、快速阅读。 大学六级中的第一道阅读题目是快速阅读，很多考生朋友都向笔者反映：快速阅读怎么做啊？拿到题目是先看文章还是先看题目啊？怎么我总是做不完题啊？有什么方法可以提高阅读速度啊？等等等等……这几个问题相信也是大家最关心的，那接下来，笔者将从六级快速阅读的命题特征，做题步骤，解题方法几个角度来谈谈如何攻克快速阅读。 1.六级快速阅读的命题特征。 六级快速阅读的文章篇幅约为1200单词，通常是略多一些的，整个题目的给定时间为15分钟。文章之后是十道题目，这十题可以会出现两种组合：一种为4道是非判断题(也就是大家所熟悉的Y/N/NG题)加上6道句子填空题(也可称补全句子)；另一种为7道选择题加上3道句子填空题。 至于考试最终会以哪种形式出题，在考纲中是没有明确说明的，从改革之后的几次实考情况来看，06年12月六级开始使用新题型，到09年6月的六级考试中，第一种题目组合形式考了两次，分别是06年12月和07年6月；第二种题目组合形式考了之后的四次。大家可以从以上的信息中来分配自己对于每种题型的复习时间。 2.六级快速阅读的做题步骤。 由于整个快速阅读部分总体时间为15分钟，如果不进行合理的规划，这样的时间是绝对不够用的。很多考生朋友会问到底应该以一种什么样的顺序来做题？我们先来了解一下在考试大纲中的说法： “要求考生运用略读和查读的技能从篇章中获取信息。略读考核学生通过快速阅读获取文章主旨大意或中心思想的能力，阅读速度约为每分钟120词。查读考核学生利用各种提示，如数字、大字单词、段首或句首词等，快速查找特定信息的能力。” 从考纲中我们发现，这里有三个重点信息：略读、查读、速度为120词/分钟。从这三点上我们基本上可以确实整体的步骤了，那就是选定信息+回到文章查找信息+对比解题。而且我们应该是看一题，做一题。这就是所谓的略读、查读。其实这正是我们平时所使用的从题干中找关键词，回文章定位的办法。快速阅读其实就是考定位。 而另外一个信息，阅读速度问题，表面上看到这个120词/分钟，很考生都望而却步，这绝对是一个无法企及的速度，但笔者提醒大家看它前面的文字，这样读的目的是为了获取文章主旨大意，而不是精细分析，于是结合大家以往所掌握的英语阅读知识应该知道，在英语中主旨的位置往往是相对固定的，想要把握1200个单词的文章的主旨根本不需要全文阅读，只需要看几个位置就可以了，如标题、首段、小标题。所以说这里的阅读速度应该更确切的讲是平均速度。

Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and chat it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy.

2011年12月英语六级作文范文 The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type The Way to Success "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comes our question, what is the way to success? A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success. Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody. Without efforts, no one can succeed. To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success. Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way. 【作文解析】 本次六级考试作文题为The way to success，与本次四级考试作文Nothing succeeds without a strong will遥相呼应，大同小异，都是在讨论成功这一话题。 此次六级考试作文的话题依然是老生常谈，即通往成功的道路，相信很多考生对此并不陌生，背过范文的同学写起来肯定也是得心应手。 该范文段落结构清晰，阐释说理也足以让人信服，是一篇不错的作文。 开篇作者通过引用爱迪生关于天才的一句名言来引出问题，吸引读者注意，引起读者的思考。紧随其后，作者就开门见山地亮出了自己的观点：只有坚强的意志和不懈的努力才能打开成功的大门。 第二段，作者同样以一个问题来引领全段，引发思考。然后通过对比不成功和最终成功的人的不同表现，来阐释坚强的意志对获得成功的重要作用。 第三段，作者进一步阐释“仅有坚强的意志，没有实在的努力，也能成功吗？”同样是先发问，然后举了爱迪生的事例，来证明答案是否定的。举名人的例子，而非个人的实例来作为文章的论据才更

1.Why Integrity Matters What Is Integrity? The key to integrity is consistency- not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each and every day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical (道德上的) standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse (缺失) of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus integrity must be one of our most important goals. Risky Business We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision, making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules a about plagiarism (剽窃) may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct, Ignorance is not a defense. "But Everybody Does It" Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it." "I'm not hurting anyone", or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm look at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I’m just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions and avoid excuses, if we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making - and that leads to bad decisions. To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public and anyone could be watching over yore shoulder. If you'd rather hide your actions, that's an indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself. Evaluating Risks To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immolate benefits and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious and may include a "O" on a test or assignment, an "F" in the class, suspension (暂令停学) or dismissal from school and a ruined reputation. In fact, when you break a role or law, you lose control over your life and give others the power to impose punishment that you have no control over. This is an extremely vulnerable (脆弱的) position. There may be some matters of life and death or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category. Getting Away with it - Or Not Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, which deprives (剥夺) him her of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-respect and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Cheating Hurts Other, Too Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have an intense cumulative (累积的) effect. Cheating can spread like a disease. Recent statistics suggest 30％or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat I can't compete with those who do") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of goof teaching is seeing students learn. But a cheater says. "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach, all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the university and harm those who worked hard for their degree.
