2008年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案
2008年6月21日大学英语六级真题及答案Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No, you’re not an investor in o ne of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8.The once all-powerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar.The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It’s also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy-from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami-for which the weak dollar is most excellent news.Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico-as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can’t afford to join the merrymaking.The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports, which thanks in part to the weak dollar, soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For first five months of 2007, the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006.If you own shares in large American corporations, you’re a winner in the weak-dollar gamble. Last week Coca-Cola’s stick bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke’s beverage business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonald’s and IBM.American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up- slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

2008年6月大学英语六级考试真题详解（A卷）Part ⅠWriting范文：Will E-books Replace Traditional Books?Recent decades have seen the rapid development of information technology. As a result, many electric inventions, including E-books, have found their way into our everyday life and have gained increasing popularity among common people.It’s no wonder that some people hold the idea that E-books will replace traditional books sooner or later because E-books have various advantages over the traditional ones. To start with, all the E-books can be downloaded from the internet directly, most of which are free of charge, while the traditional books in bookstores are much more expensive. What’s more, E-books can be stored more easily in our computers and are more convenient for people to carry around. Last but not the least, reading E-books has become a fashion in our life, which is particularly appealing to our young people.As far as I am concerned, nowadays traditional books are still the leading means of reading. ⑾However, with the further development of information technology and with the popularity of computer and internet, E-books will surely take the place of traditional books in the near future.Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.

.D) 2.B) 3.A) 4.C) 5.C) 6.A ) 7.D) 8.artificial intelligence 9.weapons 10.religion 听⼒听写 I am interested in criminal justice system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done if we are to survive as a country. I certainly don't know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get complicated in a hurry when you get into them. But I wonder something could be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I am concerned about is our practice of putting offenders in jail who haven't harmed anyone. Why not work out some system whereby they can pay back the debts they owe society instead of incuring another debt by going to prison and of course coming under the influence of hardened criminals. I am also concerned about the short prison sentences people are serving for serious crimes. of course one alternative to this is to restore capital punishment. but I am not sure I would be for that. I am not sure it's right to take an eye for an eye. The alternative to capital punishment is longer sentences. But they would certainly cost the tax payers much money. I also think we must do something about the insanity plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person's life intentionally is insane. However, that does not mean that person isn't guilty of the crime, or that he shouldn't pay society the debt he owes. It's said of course that the person may have to spend the rest of his life or a large part of it in prison for acts that he committed while not in full control of his mind. 听⼒听写答案 36. survive 37. complicated 38. offenders 39. whereby 40. incurring 41. influence 42. serving 43. restore 44.

Wherever we go, we can see them, such as in the libraries, in the classroom as well as on the Internet. Just some experts predicted in a rectent TV interview, e-books would possibly dominate the reading the next few decades. Some people claim that the e-books will substitute the traditional ones. For one thing, the e-books can not only bring them great amount of convenience, but also free them from going to the bookstores to selecting traditional books. For another, e-books save them lots of space as well as money. They can just put them in computers and take them whiletraveling. However, traditional books are too heavy and bulk for us to carry. From my perspective, I firmly believe the e-books can not replace the traditional books totally. They will unquestionably co-exist for a long period. Although the e-books offer us lots of favorable consequences, the traditional books can provide us opportunities to take note on them and to be easy for collection. Therefore, the e-books and the traditional books are preferable to different people, and both of them can bring us benefits.。

Already on academic probation after stumbling through a shaky sophomore year while battling a severe disease, he was about to fail the political science for missing two exams. Another F could mean suspension, which would put at risk the college degree he'd always counted on. He couldn't take that chance. Instead, he took a different one.Thanks to a part-time job in the university's information-technology department, the young man - aborn-and-bred Midwesterner who loved reading and played trumpet in his high school band - had access to his professor's online grade book. With a few quick keystrokes, he was able to give himself passing scores for the tests he hadn't taken. He wasn't clever enough, though, to cover his tracks. He was soon caught and suspended - and has been racked (折磨) with guiltever since."There is no excuse or justification for my actions," he wrote to the university's Honor Council in the wake of the spring 2005 episode. (He prefers to remain anonymous.) The reason for his violation, he added, was simple: "I did what I did out of panic."While this student and his professors say the incident resulted from a momentary lapse in judgment, the sad fact is that, in a broader sense, it's hardly an isolated act. There's plenty to suggest that academic cheating is epidemic in the country's high schools and colleges. Consider a few examples: nine business students at the University of Maryland caught receiving text messaged answers on their cell phones during an accounting exam; a Texas teen criminally charged for selling stolen test answers - allegedly swiped via a keystroke-decoding device affixed to a teacher's computer - to fellow students; seven Kansas State students in one class accused of plagiarizing papers off the Internet.Beyond the anecdotes, experts point to a stream of data - much of it from students themselves - that indicates cheating is rampant. A report last June by Rutgers University professor Donald McCabe for The Center for Academic Integrity showed70 percent of students at 60 colleges admitting to some cheating within the previous year; one in four admitted to engaging in serious cheating (copying from another student, using concealed notes, or helping someone else cheat). McCabe's high school findings were similarly grim: Of 18,000 high school students surveyed across the country over the past four years, 70 percent of those in public schools admitted to at least one case of serious test cheating; about six in ten admitted to some form of plagiarism. Just under half of all private school students acknowledged similar lapses.Unit 1 A recent Gallup survey reinforced those findings. Polling one group of 13to 17year olds in 2003 and another in 2004, Gallup reported that 65 percent cited "a great deal" or a "fair amount" of cheating in their schools. About half said they'd cheated on a test themselves at some point. Also in 2004, the Josephson Institute of Ethics - a Los Angeles nonprofit aimed at boosting personal and organizational ethics - released the result of a survey of 24,763 high school students: 62 percent admitted cheating on exams.Cheating isn't new. As long as there have been rules, there have been people intent on breaking them. What's alarming now, says Institute founder Michael Josephson, is howwidespread and rampant the practice has become."People who cheated were in the minority, and they kept it a secret, even from their friends," he says. "Now they are the majority, and they are bold about it. Today, if you ask kids about cheating, you will get such cavalier (骑士) attitudes that the statistics are almost secondary."Kansas State professor Phil Anderson agrees: "Many of our students have the attitude of 'I'll do whatever I have to do to get ahead. It's endemic (普遍的)."Success at Any CostJosephson, Anderson and others concerned with the issue say two factors are behind the erosion in ethics. First, advances in technology - chiefly the Internet and portable digital devices - have made cheating easier. A bigger factor, though, is the way bad behavior across society - ballplayers popping steroids, business executives cooking corporate books, journalists fabricating quotes, even teachers faking test scores to make schools look good - signals that nothing is out of bounds when success is at stake.Says David Callahan, author of The Cheating Culture: "It's the normalization of cheating. Everybody's doing it. And if you don't, you feel like achump."The pressure to succeed that drives some to cheat starts early, says Tomas Rua, a senior at Friends Seminary, a New York City private school."Everything that you do and work for is to maximize your potential," he says. "And many people feel driven to use any recourse that they can to get that grade. There is a lot of hysteria about college, and you start hearing about it in the middle school."Emily Broerman, a senior at North High School in Evansville, Indiana, echoes Rua's comments: "I would say that I see cheating every day. You see a lot of 'Succeed at any cost."Daniel, a student at Turlock High School in California's Central Valley, certainly takes that attitude: "If I want to get the better grade, I'm going to cheat to get it. No question. Anyway, in the real world you do whatever you have to do to get a better job."Daniel says that, like many of his friends, he's lifted material from the Internet and passed it off as his own, received test answers via text messages, and even brought old-fashioned crib sheets in to exams."I have cheated since the seventh grade," he claims. "I am competitive, so I'm always trying to find a better way ofcheating."Turlock principal Dana Trevethan says Daniel's comments capture the brazen (厚颜无耻的) attitude of some students. "He's a good kid, but he's competitive," she says. "And cutthroat should be his middle name."An Honest EffortIt's not all grim. Some schools have banned cell phones, cameras and other gadgets during school hours. Honor codes have been reinvigorated. And teachers are using technology to turn the tables on cheaters.A number of institutions now rely on , a website that lets teachers check students written work for signs of plagiarism (剽窃). John Barrie, the site's founder, says the company gets more than 50,000 papers per day. About one third aren't original.Perhaps most encouraging is the way some kids are taking a stand against cheaters. Megan Schisser, a senior at Robinson Secondary School, is one of them. Last spring, after studying intensely for an advanced history final, she was pleased when she got an A. Unfortunately, some students in her class had copied down the questions and sent them to friends who were to take the test later. So everyone had to retake the exam. Thistime, Megan got a B. She and some friends were so upset, they decided to do something. "Our purpose was to say that there are those of us who are doing the best we can, and we're not cheating," she says. "And it is okay not to cheat."The group formed an honor council, and in November introduced a series of school's closed-circuit TV show. Using the Twisted Sister hit "We're Not Gonna Take It" as their theme, the spots discuss the importance of honor and end with a simple tagline, "Robinson Honor Council: Saving Robinson One Cheater At A Time."It's a message that could play in classrooms across the country.1. The young man from Midwest gave himself passing scores by revising information data.2. It is widely found in America's high schools and colleges that students cheat to get high scores.3. A report last June by professor McCabe showed 30 percent of students at 60 colleges acting honestly in their exam.4. David Callahan says that students who do not cheat in the exam are good.5.
