2020年7月大学英语六级cet6考试真题及答案六级作文主题：The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today对明天做好的准备就是今天做到最好。

听力真题原文：恐龙遗址恐龙遗址The partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs and scattered bones of about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado at what is now the dinosaur natural monument. Menu of the best specimens may be seen today at museums of natural history in the largest cities in the United States and Canada. This dinosaur pit is the largest and best-preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today. Many people get the idea from the massive bones in the pit wall that some disaster such as a volcanic explosion or a sudden flood killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in this area. This could have happened but it probably did not. The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bones and the thickness of the deposit. In other deposits where the animals were thought to have died together， the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in the proper places， rounded pieces of fossil bone have been found here. These fragments got their smooth round shape by rolling along the stream bottom. In a mass killing， the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this deposit， the bones occur throughout a zone of sand stone about 12 feet thick. The mixture of swamp dwellers and dryland types also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from different places. The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard， not a place where they died. Most of the remains probably floated down on eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sandbar. Some of them may have come from far away dryland areas to the west， perhaps they drowned trying to cross the small stream or were washed away during floods. Some of the swamp dwellers may have got stuck in the very sandbar that became their grave， others may have floated for miles before being stranded， even today similar events take place. When floods come in the spring， sheep， cattle and deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float down-stream until the flood recedes and leaves them stranded on the bar or shore where they lie， half buried in sand until they decay. Early travelers on the Missouri river reported that shores and bars often lined with the decaying bodies of buffalo that have died during spring floods /XQuestion 19： Where can many of the best dinosaur s specimens be found in North America?Question 20： What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?Question 21： What does the speaker suggest about the large number of dinosaur bones in the pit?听力篇章原文：基因遗传Passage 2Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of the changed gene in obese life. The news was made by Rockefeller University geneticist Jeffery Friedman. The researchers believe this gene influences development of a hormone that tells the organism how fat or full it is. Those was the changed gene may not sense when they have eaten enough or if they have sufficient fatty tissue. And thus，you can't tell when to stop eating.The researchers also reported finding a gene nearly identical to the mouse obesity gene in humans. The operation of this gene in humans has not yet been demonstrated. however. Still， professionals like University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum， reacted enthusiastically：”This research indicate that people really are born with the tendency to have a certain weight just as they are to have a particular skin color or height”.Actually， behavioral geneticists believe that less than half of total weight variation is programmed in the genes， while height is almost entirely genetic determined. Whatever role genes play，Americans are getting fatter. A survey by the Center for Disease Control found obesity has increased greatly over the last ten years. Such rapid change underlines the role of environmental factors like the abundance of rich foods in Americans' overeating. The Center for Disease Control has also found that teens are far less physically active than they were even a decade ago. Accepting that weight is predetermined can relieve guilt for overweight people. But people’s belief that they cannot control their weight can itself contribute to obesity.Q12： What does the speaker say has aroused public interest?Q13： What do we learn about the changed gene?Q14： What does the University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum say? Q15： What accounts for Americans' obesity according to a survey by the Center of Disease Control?听力真题原文：友谊Recording 1Qualities of a relationship such as openness， compassion and mental stimulation are of concern to most of us regardless of sex， but - judging from the questionnaire response， they are more important to women than to men. Asked to consider the ingredients of close friendship， women rated these qualities above all others. Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity in interests， selected by seventy-seven percent of men， and responsiveness in a crisis， chosen by sixty-one percent of male respondents. Mental stimulation， ranked third in popularity by men as well as women， was the only area of over-lap. Among men， only twenty-eight percent named openness as an important quality; caring was picked by just twenty -three percent.It is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships， they are referring to emotional factors， while men emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend's company. That is，when a man speaks of 'a friend'， he is likely to be taking about someone he does things with - a teammate，a fellow hobbyist， a drinking buddy. These activities are the fabric of the friendship; it is a 'doing' relationship in which similarity in interests is the key bond. This factor was a consideration of less than eleven percent of women. Women opt for a warm， emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely; activity is mere background.Lastly， men， as we have seen， have serious questions about each other's loyalty. Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis - 'someone I can call on for help.' Women， as their testimonies indicate， are generally more secure with each other and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly. In follow-up interviews this was confirmed numerous times as woman after woman indicated that 'being there when needed was taken for granted.'As for the hazards of friendship， more than a few relationships have been shattered because of cutthroat competition and feelings of betrayal. This applies to both men and women， but unequally. In comparison， nearly twice as many men complained about these issues as women. Further， while competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female relationship， men are plagued in almost equalamounts by two additional issues： lack of friendship and a fear of appearing unmanly. Obviously，for a man， a good friend is hard to find.Question 16： What quality do men value most concerning friendship according to a questionnaire response?Question 17： What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?Question 18： What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?听力真题原文：家庭关系Recording 3主题：家庭关系I would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a new style of aging in our new society.Young people in this country have been accused of not caring for their parents， the way they would have in the old country. And this is true， but it is also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of independence and autonomy. So， we live alone， perhaps on the verge of starvation， in time without friends， but we are independent. This standard American style has been forced on every ethnic group， although there are many groups for whom the ideal is not practical. It is a poor ideal and pursuing it does a great deal of harm.This ideal of independence also contains a tremendous amount of unselfishness. In talking to today's young mothers， I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be. I hear devoted， loving mother say that when they are through raising their children， they have no intention of becoming grandmothers. They were astonished to hear that in most of the world throughout most of its history， families have been three- or four-generation families， living under the same roof. We have over-emphasized the small family unit - father， mother， small children. We think it is wonderful if Grandma and Grandpa， if they're still alive， can live alone.We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way. And the only thing we can do for our daughter-in-law is to see as little of her as possible. Old people's nursing homes， even the best run， are filled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit. So， in the end，older people have to devote all their energies to 'not being a burden.'Were beginning to see what a tremendous price we've paid for our emphasis on independence and autonomy. We've isolated old people and we've cut off the children from their grandparents. One of the reasons we have as bad a generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out. Young people are being deprived of the thing they need most - perspective， to know why their parents behave so peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.Q22 What have young Americans been accused of?Q23 What does the speaker say about old people in the United States?Q24 What is astonishing to the young mothers interviewed by the speaker?O25 What does the speaker say older people tried their best to do?听力真题原文：幽默”Too many people view their jobs as a five-day prison from which they are paroled6every Friday ，”says Joel Goodman ， founder of The Humor Project ， a humor-consulting group in Saratoga Springs， New York. Humor unlocks the office prison because it lets adults bring some of their childlike spirit to the job.According to Howard Pallio， professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee，Knoxville ， an office with humor breaks is an office with satisfied and productiveemployees. Pollio conducted the study that proved humor can help workers excel at routine production tasks. Employees perform better when they have fun .In large corporations with a hierarchy of power， there is often no outlet for stress，“Every company needs underground ways of poking fun at the organization，”says Lynn N Mark ， the speaker on workplace humor for St . Mary's Health Center inSt. Louis . 7Kodak's Rochester New York branch discovered a way for its 20 000 employees to uncork their bottled-up resentments . Their 1 000 square foot ”Humor Room”features a “toy store”. ”Among the room's many stress-reducing gadgets， the main attraction is a boss doll with detachable arms and legs. Employees can take the doll apart， as long as they put its arms and legs back in place.Sandy Cohen， owner of a graphic print-production business， created ”The QuoteBoard” to document the bizarre phrases people say when under strictdeadlines. ”When you’re under stress， you say stupid things，”says Cohen，“now we just look at each other and say that’s one for the Quote Board!”9. What does the passage say about humor in the workplace?10. What does the study by Howard Pollio show?11. What can Kodak's employees do in the Humor Room?六级听力长对话真题：体育Conversation 1M： Tonight， we have a very special guest. Mrs. Anna Sanchez is a three-time Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge. Mrs. Sanchez， thank you for joining us.W： Thank you for having me.M： Let's start with your book. What does the title ”To the Edge” mean? What are you referring to?W： The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of their physical abilities. I argue that in the past 20 years， we have had the best athletes the world has ever seen.M： But is this a fair comparison? How do you know how， say， a football player from 50 years ago would compare to one today?W： Well. You are right. That comparison would be perhaps impossible to make. But the point is more about our knowledge today of human biochemistry， nutrition and mechanics. I believe that while our bodies have not changed in thousands of years， what has changed is the scientific knowledge. This has allowed athletes to push the limits of what was previously thought possible.M： That's interesting. Please tell us more about these perceived limits.W： The world is seeing sports records being broken that could only be broken with the aid of technology. Whether this be the speed of a tennis serve or the fastest time in a hundred-meter dash or a two-hundred-meter swimming race.M： Is there any concern that technology is giving some athletes an unfair advantage over others?W： That is an interesting question and one that has to be considered very carefully. Skis， for example， went from being made of wood to a metal alloy， which allows for better control and faster speed. There is no stopping technological progress but， as I said， each situation should be considered carefully on a case-by-case basis.Questions 1-4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1： What do we learn about Anna Sanchez?Question 2： What is the woman's book mainly about?Question 3： What has changed in the past thousands ofyears?Question 4： What is the man's concern about the use of technology in sports competitions?六级听力长对话真题原文：国际贸易Conversation 2W： l've worked in international trade all my life. My father did so too before me. So， I guess you could say it rounds in the family.M： What products have you worked with?W： All sorts， really. l've imported textiles， machinery， toys， solar panels， all kinds of things over the years. Trends and mind come and go， so one needs to be very flexible to succeed in this industry.73M： I see. What goods are you trading now?W： I now import furniture from China into Italy. And foods from Italy into China. I even use the same container. It's a very efficient way of conducting trade.M： The same container? You mean you own a 40-foot cargo container?W： Yeah， that's right. I have a warehouse in Genova， Italy and another in Shanghai. I source mid-century modern furniture from different factories in China. It's very good value for money. I collect it all in my warehouse and then dispatch it to my other warehouse in Italy. Over there I do the same， but with Italian foods instead of furniture. Things like pasta， cheese， wine， chocolates，and I send all that to my warehouse in China in the same free container I use for the fumiture.M： So， I presume you sell both lines of products wholesale in each respective country. W： Of course， I possess a network of clients and partners in both countries. That's the main benefit of having done this for so long. l've made great business contacts over time.M： How many times do you ship?W： I did 12 shipments last year， 18 this year， and I hope it'll grow to around 25 next year. That's both ways， there and back again. Demand for authentic Italian food in China is growing rapidly，and similarly， sales of affordable yet stylish wooden furniture are also increasing in Italy. Furniture is marginally more profitable， mostly because it enjoys lower customs duties.Questions 5-8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Questions 5： What does the woman think is required to be successful in international trade?Question 6： What does the woman say is special about her way of doing trade?Question 7： What does the woman have in both Italy and China?Question 8： What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more profitable?英语六级听力答案：友谊听力答案：长对话2(国际贸易)英语六级听力答案：长对话1(体育)听力篇章答案：幽默英语六级听力答案：恐龙遗址听力篇章答案：基因遗传六级听力答案：家庭关系翻译真题：三国演义《三国演义》写于14世纪，是中国著名的历史小说。

20207月英语六级真题及答案

2020年7月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】作文第一套Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.参考译文：In this rapidly developing society，what we persue has never been more abundant than ever before. We care about the food safety，the money we can earn，the health of the people around us and the apperence of us，namely beauty. Talking about beauty，ideas may differ from person to person. Among all the elements of beauty that modern people attach importance to，I reckon that beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.Looking around，we may find many facts which can relect the value in the saying. Take Lihong as an example，she is not the traditionally typical youngster who would be considered beautiful. However，she keeps doing good routinely and insists in helping those in need. When mentioned，Lihong is always the exemplary model praised by everybody. To many acquaintances of hers，they think she is one of the most beautiful girls they' ve ever met. In the case of Lihong，beauty of the soul is more essentially valued than that of her appearence.To conclude，it is not the fashionable hairstyle，not the ex- pensive clothes we wear，but beauty of our soul that deter- mines how people see us. This reminds us agian of the value that beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.选词填空第一套26.L. realms27.C.heavily28.H. mastering29.B. fatigue30.E. hospitalized31.J. obsessed32.F. labeled33.N. ruin34.K. potential35.A. contrary信息匹配第一套How Telemedicine Is Transforming Healthcare36.D段落第一句None of this is to say that telemedicine37.H段落第一句Many health plans and employers have rushed38.E段落第一句What’smore，foralltherapidgrowth39.B段落第一句Doctors are Linking up with40.K段落第一句Who pays for the services?41.0段落第一句Todate，17stateshavejoined pass42.G段落第一句Do patients trade quality for convenience?43.F段落第一句Some critics also question whether44.1段落第一句But critics worry that such45.N段落第一句Is the state-by-state regulatory system仔细阅读第一套46-50 (Sleeplessness)46.C They are deeply impressed by Danielle Steel’s dailywork schedule.47.A She could serve as an example of industriousness.48.

Many people get the idea from the massive bones in the pit wall that some disaster such as a volcanic explosion or a sudden flood killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in this area. This could have happened but it probably did not. The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bones and the thickness of the deposit. In other deposits where the animals were thought to have died together， the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in the proper places， rounded pieces of fossil bone have been found here. These fragments got their smooth round shape by rolling along the stream bottom. In a mass killing， the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this deposit， the bones occur throughout a zone of sand stone about 12 feet thick. The mixture of swamp dwellers and dryland types also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from different places. The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard， not a place where they died. Most of the remains probably floated down on eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sandbar. Some of them may have come from far away dryland areas to the west， perhaps they drowned trying to cross the small stream or were washed away during floods. Some of the swamp dwellers may have got stuck in the very sandbar that became their grave， others may have floated for miles before being stranded， even today similar events take place. When floods come in the spring， sheep， cattle and deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float down-stream until the flood recedes and leaves them stranded on the bar or shore where they lie， half buried in sand until they decay. Early travelers on the Missouri river reported that shores and bars often lined with the decaying bodies of buffalo that have died during spring floods /XQuestion 19： Where can many of the best dinosaur s specimens be found in North America?Question 20： What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?Question 21： What does the speaker suggest about the large number of dinosaur bones in the pit?听力篇章原文：基因遗传Passage 2Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of the changed gene in obese life. The news was made by Rockefeller University geneticist Jeffery Friedman. The researchers believe this gene influences development of a hormone that tells the organism how fat or full it is. Those was the changed gene may not sense when they have eaten enough or if they have sufficient fatty tissue. And thus，you can't tell when to stop eating.The researchers also reported finding a gene nearly identical to the mouse obesity gene in humans. The operation of this gene in humans has not yet been demonstrated. however. Still， professionals like University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum， reacted enthusiastically：”This research indicate that people really are born with the tendency to have a certain weight just as they are to have a particular skin color or height”.Actually， behavioral geneticists believe that less than half of total weight variation is programmed in the genes， while height is almost entirely genetic determined. Whatever role genes play，Americans are getting fatter. A survey by the Center for Disease Control found obesity has increased greatly over the last ten years. Such rapid change underlines the role of environmental factors like the abundance of rich foods in Americans' overeating. The Center for Disease Control has also found that teens are far less physically active than they were even a decade ago. Accepting that weight is predetermined can relieve guilt for overweight people. But people’s belief that they cannot control their weight can itself contribute to obesity.Q12： What does the speaker say has aroused public interest?Q13： What do we learn about the changed gene?Q14： What does the University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum say? Q15： What accounts for Americans' obesity according to a survey by the Center of Disease Control?听力真题原文：友谊Recording 1Qualities of a relationship such as openness， compassion and mental stimulation are of concern to most of us regardless of sex， but - judging from the questionnaire response， they are more important to women than to men. Asked to consider the ingredients of close friendship， women rated these qualities above all others. Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity in interests， selected by seventy-seven percent of men， and responsiveness in a crisis， chosen by sixty-one percent of male respondents. Mental stimulation， ranked third in popularity by men as well as women， was the only area of over-lap. Among men， only twenty-eight percent named openness as an important quality; caring was picked by just twenty -three percent.It is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships， they are referring to emotional factors， while men emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend's company. That is，when a man speaks of 'a friend'， he is likely to be taking about someone he does things with - a teammate，a fellow hobbyist， a drinking buddy. These activities are the fabric of the friendship; it is a 'doing' relationship in which similarity in interests is the key bond. This factor was a consideration of less than eleven percent of women. Women opt for a warm， emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely; activity is mere background.Lastly， men， as we have seen， have serious questions about each other's loyalty. Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis - 'someone I can call on for help.' Women， as their testimonies indicate， are generally more secure with each other and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly. In follow-up interviews this was confirmed numerous times as woman after woman indicated that 'being there when needed was taken for granted.'As for the hazards of friendship， more than a few relationships have been shattered because of cutthroat competition and feelings of betrayal. This applies to both men and women， but unequally. In comparison， nearly twice as many men complained about these issues as women. Further， while competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female relationship， men are plagued in almost equalamounts by two additional issues： lack of friendship and a fear of appearing unmanly. Obviously，for a man， a good friend is hard to find.Question 16： What quality do men value most concerning friendship according to a questionnaire response?Question 17： What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?Question 18： What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?听力真题原文：家庭关系Recording 3主题：家庭关系I would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a new style of aging in our new society.Young people in this country have been accused of not caring for their parents， the way they would have in the old country. And this is true， but it is also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of independence and autonomy. So， we live alone， perhaps on the verge of starvation， in time without friends， but we are independent. This standard American style has been forced on every ethnic group， although there are many groups for whom the ideal is not practical. It is a poor ideal and pursuing it does a great deal of harm.This ideal of independence also contains a tremendous amount of unselfishness. In talking to today's young mothers， I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be. I hear devoted， loving mother say that when they are through raising their children， they have no intention of becoming grandmothers. They were astonished to hear that in most of the world throughout most of its history， families have been three- or four-generation families， living under the same roof. We have over-emphasized the small family unit - father， mother， small children. We think it is wonderful if Grandma and Grandpa， if they're still alive， can live alone.We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way. And the only thing we can do for our daughter-in-law is to see as little of her as possible. Old people's nursing homes， even the best run， are filled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit. So， in the end，older people have to devote all their energies to 'not being a burden.'Were beginning to see what a tremendous price we've paid for our emphasis on independence and autonomy. We've isolated old people and we've cut off the children from their grandparents. One of the reasons we have as bad a generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out. Young people are being deprived of the thing they need most - perspective， to know why their parents behave so peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.Q22 What have young Americans been accused of?Q23 What does the speaker say about old people in the United States?Q24 What is astonishing to the young mothers interviewed by the speaker?O25 What does the speaker say older people tried their best to do?听力真题原文：幽默”Too many people view their jobs as a five-day prison from which they are paroled6every Friday ，”says Joel Goodman ， founder of The Humor Project ， a humor-consulting group in Saratoga Springs， New York.

2020年7月大学英语六级考试真题汇总

Part I Writing (30 minutes) 【试题】Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”You should write at least 150words but no more than 200words.【参考范文】While we all desire to lead an ideal lifestyle some day, most of us tend to do no more than create a blueprint for, or even daydream about, it. Some may excuse themselves by claiming they are not ready to get started. Actually, they have yet to realize the truth of that saying: The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.Tomorrow is utterly unpredictable, whereas only today can be under control. This undisputed fact implies that attaining any goal requires us to seize the day and live it to the fullest. If we want to, for example, improve our physical fitness, just begin by going jogging this evening, rather than waste time making workout plans for the following weeks. It does not mean planning is of little value. The point is that many people are prone to an illusory sense of satisfaction during this process, hindering them from taking immediate action.It is very tough indeed overcoming our inertia. But only by acting now and working hard can we move a step closer to success. Those who put off until tomorrow what really matters to them will end up achieving nothing.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) （暂缺干扰项）Section AConversation One【听力原文】M: Tonight, we have a very special guest.

Many of the best specimens may be seen today at museums of natural history in the larger cities of the United States and Canada. This dinosaur pit is the largest and best preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today.Many people get the idea from the mass of bones in the pit wall that some disaster such as a volcanic explosion or a sudden flood killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in this area. This could have happened but it probably did not.The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bones and the thickness of the deposit. In other deposits where the animals were thought to have died together, the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in their proper places. Rounded pieces of fossil bone have been found here. These fragments got their smooth round shape by rolling along the stream bottom. In a mass killing, the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this deposit, the bones occur throughout a zone of sandstone about 12 feet thick.

When floods come in the spring, sheep, cattle and deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float downstream until the flood recedes and leaves them stranded on a bar or shore where they lie, half buried in the sand, until they decay. Early travelers on the Missouri river reported that shores and bars were often lined with the decaying bodies of buffalo that had died during spring floods.【题目】Q19: Where can many of the best dinosaur specimens be found in North America?Q20: What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?Q21: What does the speaker suggest about the large number of dinosaur bones found in the pit? 【参考答案】19.

A) capacitySection B（暂缺部分段落、试题）Children understand far more about other minds than long believedA) Until a few decades ago, scholars believed that young children know very little, if anything,about what others are thinking. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, who is credited with founding the scientific study of children’s thinki ng, was convinced that preschool children cannot consider what goes on in the minds of others. The interviews and experiments he conducted with kids in the middle of the 20th century suggested that they were trapped in their subjective viewpoints, incapable of imagining what others think, feel or believe. To him, young children seemed oblivious to the fact that different people might hold distinct viewpoints or perspectives on the world, or even that their own perspectives shift over time.B) Much of the subsequent research on early childhood thinking was highly influenced by Piaget’sideas. Scholars sought to refine his theory and empirically confirm his views. But it became increasingly clear that Piaget was missing something. He seemed to have gravely underestimated the intellectual powers of very young kids – before they can make themselvesunderstood by speech or even intentional action. Researchers began to devise ever more ingenious ways of figuring out what goes on in the minds of babies, and the resulting picture of their abilities is becoming more and more nuanced…C) Historically, children didn’t receive much respect for their mental powers. Piaget not onlybelieved that children were “egocentric” in the sense that they were unable to differenti ate between their own viewpoint and that of others; he was also convinced that their thinking was characterized by systematic errors and confusions…D) …E) Today, a very different picture of children’s mental development emerges. Psychologistscontinu ally reveal new insights into the depth of young children’s knowledge of the world, including their understanding of other minds. Recent studies suggest that even infants are sensitive to others’ perspectives and beliefs.F) Part of the motivation to rev ise some of Piaget’s conclusions stemmed from an ideological shiftabout the origin of human knowledge that occurred in the second half of the 20th century. It became increasingly unpopular to assume that a basic understanding of the world can be built ent irely from experience…G) To prove that infants know more in this realm than had been acknowledged, researchersneeded to come up with innovative ways of showing it. A big part of why we now recognize so much more of kids’ intellectual capacities is the development of much more sensitive research tools than Piaget had at his disposal.H) Instead of engaging babies in dialog or having them execute complex motor tasks, the newermethods capitalize on behaviors that have a firm place in infants’ natural be havior repertoire: looking, listening, sucking, making facial expressions, gestures and simple manual actions.The idea of focusing on these “small behaviors” is that they give kids the chance to demonstrate their knowledge implicitly and spontaneously –without having to respond to questions or instructions. For example, children might look longer at an event that they did not expect to happen, or they might show facial expressions indicating that they have empathy with another…I) …J) In a set of exp eriments…K) …L) Despite these obvious advances in the study of young children’s thinking, it would be a grave mistake to dismiss the careful and systematic analyses compiled by Piaget and others before the new tests dominated the scene. Doing so would be like throwing out the baby with thebathwater, because the original methods revealed essential facts about how children think –facts that the new, “minimalist” methods cannot uncover.M) There’s no consensus in today’s community about how much we can infer from a look, a grimace or a hand gesture. These behaviors clearly indicate a curiosity about what goes on in the mind of others, and probably a set of early intuitions coupled with a willingness to learn more. They pave the way to richer and more explicit forms of understanding of the minds of other.

2020年7月大学英语六级cet6考试真题及答案六级作文主题：The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today对明天做好的准备就是今天做到最好。

听力真题原文：恐龙遗址恐龙遗址The partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs and scattered bones of about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado at what is now the dinosaur natural monument. Menu of the best specimens may be seen today at museums of natural history in the largest cities in the United States and Canada. This dinosaur pit is the largest and best-preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today. Many people get the idea from the massive bones in the pit wall that some disaster such as a volcanic explosion or a sudden flood killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in this area. This could have happened but it probably did not. The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bones and the thickness of the deposit. In other deposits where the animals were thought to have died together， the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in the proper places， rounded pieces of fossil bone have been found here. These fragments got their smooth round shape by rolling along the stream bottom. In a mass killing， the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this deposit， the bones occur throughout a zone of sand stone about 12 feet thick. The mixture of swamp dwellers and dryland types also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from different places. The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard， not a place where they died. Most of the remains probably floated down on eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sandbar. Some of them may have come from far away dryland areas to the west， perhaps they drowned trying to cross the small stream or were washed away during floods. Some of the swamp dwellers may have got stuck in the very sandbar that became their grave， others may have floated for miles before being stranded， even today similar events take place. When floods come in the spring， sheep， cattle and deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float down-stream until the flood recedes and leaves them stranded on the bar or shore where they lie， half buried in sand until they decay. Early travelers on the Missouri river reported that shores and bars often lined with the decaying bodies of buffalo that have died during spring floods /XQuestion 19： Where can many of the best dinosaur s specimens be found in North America?Question 20： What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?Question 21： What does the speaker suggest about the large number of dinosaur bones in the pit?听力篇章原文：基因遗传Passage 2Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of the changed gene in obese life. The news was made by Rockefeller University geneticist Jeffery Friedman. The researchers believe this gene influences development of a hormone that tells the organism how fat or full it is. Those was the changed gene may not sense when they have eaten enough or if they have sufficient fatty tissue. And thus，you can't tell when to stop eating.The researchers also reported finding a gene nearly identical to the mouse obesity gene in humans. The operation of this gene in humans has not yet been demonstrated. however. Still， professionals like University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum， reacted enthusiastically：”This research indicate that people really are born with the tendency to have a certain weight just as they are to have a particular skin color or height”.Actually， behavioral geneticists believe that less than half of total weight variation is programmed in the genes， while height is almost entirely genetic determined. Whatever role genes play，Americans are getting fatter. A survey by the Center for Disease Control found obesity has increased greatly over the last ten years. Such rapid change underlines the role of environmental factors like the abundance of rich foods in Americans' overeating. The Center for Disease Control has also found that teens are far less physically active than they were even a decade ago. Accepting that weight is predetermined can relieve guilt for overweight people. But people’s belief that they cannot control their weight can itself contribute to obesity.Q12： What does the speaker say has aroused public interest?Q13： What do we learn about the changed gene?Q14： What does the University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum say? Q15： What accounts for Americans' obesity according to a survey by the Center of Disease Control?听力真题原文：友谊Recording 1Qualities of a relationship such as openness， compassion and mental stimulation are of concern to most of us regardless of sex， but - judging from the questionnaire response， they are more important to women than to men. Asked to consider the ingredients of close friendship， women rated these qualities above all others. Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity in interests， selected by seventy-seven percent of men， and responsiveness in a crisis， chosen by sixty-one percent of male respondents. Mental stimulation， ranked third in popularity by men as well as women， was the only area of over-lap. Among men， only twenty-eight percent named openness as an important quality; caring was picked by just twenty -three percent.It is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships， they are referring to emotional factors， while men emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend's company. That is，when a man speaks of 'a friend'， he is likely to be taking about someone he does things with - a teammate，a fellow hobbyist， a drinking buddy. These activities are the fabric of the friendship; it is a 'doing' relationship in which similarity in interests is the key bond. This factor was a consideration of less than eleven percent of women. Women opt for a warm， emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely; activity is mere background.Lastly， men， as we have seen， have serious questions about each other's loyalty. Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis - 'someone I can call on for help.' Women， as their testimonies indicate， are generally more secure with each other and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly. In follow-up interviews this was confirmed numerous times as woman after woman indicated that 'being there when needed was taken for granted.'As for the hazards of friendship， more than a few relationships have been shattered because of cutthroat competition and feelings of betrayal. This applies to both men and women， but unequally. In comparison， nearly twice as many men complained about these issues as women. Further， while competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female relationship， men are plagued in almost equalamounts by two additional issues： lack of friendship and a fear of appearing unmanly. Obviously，for a man， a good friend is hard to find.Question 16： What quality do men value most concerning friendship according to a questionnaire response?Question 17： What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?Question 18： What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?听力真题原文：家庭关系Recording 3主题：家庭关系I would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a new style of aging in our new society.Young people in this country have been accused of not caring for their parents， the way they would have in the old country. And this is true， but it is also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of independence and autonomy. So， we live alone， perhaps on the verge of starvation， in time without friends， but we are independent. This standard American style has been forced on every ethnic group， although there are many groups for whom the ideal is not practical. It is a poor ideal and pursuing it does a great deal of harm.This ideal of independence also contains a tremendous amount of unselfishness. In talking to today's young mothers， I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be. I hear devoted， loving mother say that when they are through raising their children， they have no intention of becoming grandmothers. They were astonished to hear that in most of the world throughout most of its history， families have been three- or four-generation families， living under the same roof. We have over-emphasized the small family unit - father， mother， small children. We think it is wonderful if Grandma and Grandpa， if they're still alive， can live alone.We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way. And the only thing we can do for our daughter-in-law is to see as little of her as possible. Old people's nursing homes， even the best run， are filled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit. So， in the end，older people have to devote all their energies to 'not being a burden.'Were beginning to see what a tremendous price we've paid for our emphasis on independence and autonomy. We've isolated old people and we've cut off the children from their grandparents. One of the reasons we have as bad a generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out. Young people are being deprived of the thing they need most - perspective， to know why their parents behave so peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.Q22 What have young Americans been accused of?Q23 What does the speaker say about old people in the United States?Q24 What is astonishing to the young mothers interviewed by the speaker?O25 What does the speaker say older people tried their best to do?听力真题原文：幽默”Too many people view their jobs as a five-day prison from which they are paroled6every Friday ，”says Joel Goodman ， founder of The Humor Project ， a humor-consulting group in Saratoga Springs， New York. Humor unlocks the office prison because it lets adults bring some of their childlike spirit to the job.According to Howard Pallio， professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee，Knoxville ， an office with humor breaks is an office with satisfied and productiveemployees. Pollio conducted the study that proved humor can help workers excel at routine production tasks. Employees perform better when they have fun .In large corporations with a hierarchy of power， there is often no outlet for stress，“Every company needs underground ways of poking fun at the organization，”says Lynn N Mark ， the speaker on workplace humor for St . Mary's Health Center inSt. Louis . 7Kodak's Rochester New York branch discovered a way for its 20 000 employees to uncork their bottled-up resentments . Their 1 000 square foot ”Humor Room”features a “toy store”. ”Among the room's many stress-reducing gadgets， the main attraction is a boss doll with detachable arms and legs. Employees can take the doll apart， as long as they put its arms and legs back in place.Sandy Cohen， owner of a graphic print-production business， created ”The QuoteBoard” to document the bizarre phrases people say when under strictdeadlines. ”When you’re under stress， you say stupid things，”says Cohen，“now we just look at each other and say that’s one for the Quote Board!”9.

Mrs. Anna Sanchez is a three-time Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge. Mrs. Sanchez， thank you for joining us.W： Thank you for having me.M： Let's start with your book. What does the title ”To the Edge” mean? What are you referring to?W： The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of their physical abilities. I argue that in the past 20 years， we have had the best athletes the world has ever seen.M： But is this a fair comparison? How do you know how， say， a football player from 50 years ago would compare to one today?W： Well. You are right. That comparison would be perhaps impossible to make. But the point is more about our knowledge today of human biochemistry， nutrition and mechanics. I believe that while our bodies have not changed in thousands of years， what has changed is the scientific knowledge. This has allowed athletes to push the limits of what was previously thought possible.M： That's interesting. Please tell us more about these perceived limits.W： The world is seeing sports records being broken that could only be broken with the aid of technology. Whether this be the speed of a tennis serve or the fastest time in a hundred-meter dash or a two-hundred-meter swimming race.M： Is there any concern that technology is giving some athletes an unfair advantage over others?W： That is an interesting question and one that has to be considered very carefully. Skis， for example， went from being made of wood to a metal alloy， which allows for better control and faster speed. There is no stopping technological progress but， as I said， each situation should be considered carefully on a case-by-case basis.Questions 1-4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1： What do we learn about Anna Sanchez?Question 2： What is the woman's book mainly about?Question 3： What has changed in the past thousands ofyears?Question 4： What is the man's concern about the use of technology in sports competitions?六级听力长对话真题原文：国际贸易Conversation 2W： l've worked in international trade all my life.

I have a warehouse in Genova， Italy and another in Shanghai. I source mid-century modern furniture from different factories in China. It's very good value for money. I collect it all in my warehouse and then dispatch it to my other warehouse in Italy. Over there I do the same， but with Italian foods instead of furniture. Things like pasta， cheese， wine， chocolates，and I send all that to my warehouse in China in the same free container I use for the fumiture.M： So， I presume you sell both lines of products wholesale in each respective country. W： Of course， I possess a network of clients and partners in both countries.

2020年7月大学英语六级考试真题汇总

Part I Writing (30 minutes) 【试题】Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”You should write at least 150words but no more than 200words.【参考范文】While we all desire to lead an ideal lifestyle some day, most of us tend to do no more than create a blueprint for, or even daydream about, it. Some may excuse themselves by claiming they are not ready to get started. Actually, they have yet to realize the truth of that saying: The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.Tomorrow is utterly unpredictable, whereas only today can be under control. This undisputed fact implies that attaining any goal requires us to seize the day and live it to the fullest. If we want to, for example, improve our physical fitness, just begin by going jogging this evening, rather than waste time making workout plans for the following weeks. It does not mean planning is of little value. The point is that many people are prone to an illusory sense of satisfaction during this process, hindering them from taking immediate action.It is very tough indeed overcoming our inertia. But only by acting now and working hard can we move a step closer to success. Those who put off until tomorrow what really matters to them will end up achieving nothing.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) （暂缺干扰项）Section AConversation One【听力原文】M: Tonight, we have a very special guest.

In talking to today’s young mothers, I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be. I hear devoted, loving mothers say that when they are through raising their children, they have no intention of becoming grandmothers. They are astonished to hear that in most of the world throughout most of its history, families have been three- or four-generation families, living under the same roof. We have over-emphasized the small family unit—father, mother, small children. We think it is wonderful if Grandma and Grandpa, if they’re still alive, can live alone.We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way and the only thing we can do for our daughter-in-law is to see as little of her as possible. Old people’s nursing homes, even the best run, are filled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit. So in the end, older people have to devote all their energies to “not being a burden”.We are beginning to see what a tremendous price we’ve paid for our emphasis on independence and autonomy. We have isolated old people and we’ve cut off the children from their grandparents. One of the reasons we have as bad a generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out. Young people are being deprived of the thing they needmost—perspective, to know why their parents behave so peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.【题目】Question 22: What have young Americans been accused of?Question 23: What does the speaker say about old people in the United States?Question 24: What is astonishing to the young mothers interviewed by the speaker?Question 25: What does the speaker say older people try their best to do?【参考答案】22.

F) eroding32. E) disaster33. D) determined34. O) urgent35. A) capacitySection B（暂缺部分段落、试题）Children understand far more about other minds than long believedA) Until a few decades ago, scholars believed that young children know very little, if anything,about what others are thinking. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, who is credited with founding the scientific study of children’s thinki ng, was convinced that preschool children cannot consider what goes on in the minds of others. The interviews and experiments he conducted with kids in the middle of the 20th century suggested that they were trapped in their subjective viewpoints, incapable of imagining what others think, feel or believe. To him, young children seemed oblivious to the fact that different people might hold distinct viewpoints or perspectives on the world, or even that their own perspectives shift over time.B) Much of the subsequent research on early childhood thinking was highly influenced by Piaget’sideas. Scholars sought to refine his theory and empirically confirm his views. But it became increasingly clear that Piaget was missing something. He seemed to have gravely underestimated the intellectual powers of very young kids – before they can make themselvesunderstood by speech or even intentional action. Researchers began to devise ever more ingenious ways of figuring out what goes on in the minds of babies, and the resulting picture of their abilities is becoming more and more nuanced…C) Historically, children didn’t receive much respect for their mental powers. Piaget not onlybelieved that children were “egocentric” in the sense that they were unable to differenti ate between their own viewpoint and that of others; he was also convinced that their thinking was characterized by systematic errors and confusions…D) …E) Today, a very different picture of children’s mental development emerges. Psychologistscontinu ally reveal new insights into the depth of young children’s knowledge of the world, including their understanding of other minds. Recent studies suggest that even infants are sensitive to others’ perspectives and beliefs.F) Part of the motivation to rev ise some of Piaget’s conclusions stemmed from an ideological shiftabout the origin of human knowledge that occurred in the second half of the 20th century. It became increasingly unpopular to assume that a basic understanding of the world can be built ent irely from experience…G) To prove that infants know more in this realm than had been acknowledged, researchersneeded to come up with innovative ways of showing it. A big part of why we now recognize so much more of kids’ intellectual capacities is the development of much more sensitive research tools than Piaget had at his disposal.H) Instead of engaging babies in dialog or having them execute complex motor tasks, the newermethods capitalize on behaviors that have a firm place in infants’ natural be havior repertoire: looking, listening, sucking, making facial expressions, gestures and simple manual actions.The idea of focusing on these “small behaviors” is that they give kids the chance to demonstrate their knowledge implicitly and spontaneously –without having to respond to questions or instructions. For example, children might look longer at an event that they did not expect to happen, or they might show facial expressions indicating that they have empathy with another…I) …J) In a set of exp eriments…K) …L) Despite these obvious advances in the study of young children’s thinking, it would be a grave mistake to dismiss the careful and systematic analyses compiled by Piaget and others before the new tests dominated the scene. Doing so would be like throwing out the baby with thebathwater, because the original methods revealed essential facts about how children think –facts that the new, “minimalist” methods cannot uncover.M) There’s no consensus in today’s community about how much we can infer from a look, a grimace or a hand gesture. These behaviors clearly indicate a curiosity about what goes on in the mind of others, and probably a set of early intuitions coupled with a willingness to learn more. They pave the way to richer and more explicit forms of understanding of the minds of other. But they can in no way replace the child’s growing ability to articulate and refine her understanding of how people behave and why36. Piaget believed that small children…37.

2020 年7 月六级英语考试真题及答案汇总ListeningCONEVERSATION 1-Tonight, we have a very special guest, Mrs. Ana Sanchez is a threetime Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge.Mrs, Sanchez, thank you for joining us.-Thank you for having me.- Let’s start with your book. What does the title to the Edge mean?What are you referring to? -The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of their physical abilities. I argue that in the past 20 years we have had the best athletes the world has ever seen. But is this a fair comparison?How do you know how, say, a football player from 50 years ago would compare to one today?-Well, you are right.-That comparison would be perhaps impossible to make. But thepoint is more about our knowledge today of human biochemistry,nutrition and mechanics. I believe that while our b odies have notchanged in thousands of years, what has changed is the scientificknowledge. This has allowed athletes to push the limits of whatwas previously thought possible.-That’s interesting. Please tell us more about these perceived limits.-The world has seen sports records being broken. That could only be broken with the aid of technology, whether this be the speedof a tennis serve or the fastest time in 100 meter dash or 200 meter swimming race.-ls there any concern that technology is giving some athletes anunfair advantage over others?-That is an interesting question and one that has to be considered very carefully. Skis ,for example, went from being made of wood to a metal alloy, which allows for better control and faster speed.There is no stopping technological progress. But as I said, each sit-uation should be considered carefully on a case by case basis.Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.W h a t do w e l e a r n a bou t A nn a S a n c h e z?2.W h a t i s t h e w o m a n&a po s;s boo k m a i n l y a bou t?3.W h a t h a s c h a n g e d i n t h e p a s t t hou s a nd s o f y e a r s?4.W h a t i s t h e m a n&a po s;s c on c e r n a bou t t h e u s e o f t e c hno l o g y i n s po r t s c o m p e t i t i on s? CONEVERSATION 2-l’ve worked in international trade all my life. My father did so tobefore me. So I guess you could say it runs in the f amily.-What products have you worked with?-All sorts, really. l've imported textiles, machinery, toys, solar panels, all kinds of things.Over the years, trends in demand comeand go. So what needs to be very flexible to succeed in this indus-try?-I s ee. W h at good s ar e y o u tra d i n g n o w?-I n o w i m po rt f u r n i t u r e f r o m C h i n a i n t o I ta l y a n d f ood s f r o m I ta l y i n t o C h i n a.I e v e n u s e t h e same container. It’s a very efficient wayof conducting trade.-The same container. You mean you own a 40 foot cargo container?-Yeah, that’s right. I have a warehouse in Genoa, Italy, and another in Shanghai. I source mid century modern furniture from different factories in China. It’s a very good value for money, I collect it allin my warehouse and then dispatch it to my other warehouse inItaly over there. I do the same, but with Italian foods instead offurniture, things like pasta, cheese, wine, chocolate. And I send allthat to my warehouse in China in the same freight container I usefor the furniture. -So I presume you sell both lines of products wholesale in each re-spective country?-Of course, I possess a network of clients and partners in bothcountries. That’s the main benefit of having done this for So long.I’ve made great business contacts over time.-How many times do you ship?-I d i d12s h i p m e n t s l a s t y e ar,18t h i s y e ar,a n d I h op e t o g r o w t o ar o un d25n e x t y e ar.T h at’s both ways. There and back again.Demand for authentic Italian food in China is growing rapidly. And similarly, sales of affordable, yet stylish wooden furniture are also increasing in Italy. Furniture is marginally more profitable, mostlybecause it enjoys lower customs duties. Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you havejust heard.5.W h a t do e s t h e w o m a n t h i n k i s r e qu i r e d t o b e s u cc e ss f u l i n t h e i n t e r n a t i on a l t r a d e?6.W h a t do e s t h e w o m a n s a y i s s p e c i a l a bou t h e r w a y o f do i n g c h a n g e?7.W h a t do e s t h e w o m a n h a v e i n bo t h I t a l y a nd C h i n a?8.W h a t do e s t h e w o m a n s a y m a k e s f u r n i t u r e m a r g i n a ll y m o r eListeningLELECTURE 1Qualities of a relationship such as openness, compassion and mental stimulation are of concern to most of us regardless of sex,but-judging from the questionnaire response-they are more important to women than to men. Asked to consider the ingredients of close friendship, women rated these qualities above all others. Men assigned a lower priorityto them in favor of similarity in interests, selected by 77 percent of men, and responsivenes in a crisis, chosen by 61 percent of male respondents. Mental stimulation, ranked third in popularity by men as well as women, was the only area of overlap. Among men, only 28 percent named open-ness as an importan quality; caring was picked by just 23 per-cent. It is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships, they are referring to emotional factors, whilemen emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend’s company. That is, when a man speaks of "a friend" he is likely to be talking about someone he does thingswith- a teammate, a fellow hobbyist, adrinking buddy. These activities are the fabric of the friendship;itis a "doing" relationship in which similarity in interests is the keybond. This factor was a consideration of less than 11 percent of women.Women opt for a warm, emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely; activity is mere background. Lastly, men, aswe have seen, have serious questions about each other’s loyalty.Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis. Someone I can call on for help, Women, as their testimonies indi-cate, are generally more secure with each other and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly. In follow-up interviewsthis was confirmed numerous times as woman after woman indicated that "being there when needed was taken for granted." As for the hazards of friendship, more than a few relationships havebeen shattered because of cutthroat competition and feelings of betrayal. This applies to both men and women, but unequally. Incomparison, nearly twice as many men complained about theseissues as women. Further, while competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female friendship, men are plagued in almostequal amounts by two additional issues, lack of frankness and a fear of appearing unmanly. Obviously, for a man, a good friend-ship is hard to find.Question 16 to 18. Based on the recording you have just heard16.W h a t qu a li t y do m e n v a l u e m o s t c on c e r n i n g f r i e nd s h i p a cc o r d i n g t o a qu e s t i onn a i r e response?17.W h a t do w o m e n r e f e r t o w h e n s p e a k i n g o f c l o s e f r i e nd s h i p s?18.W h a t m a y t h r e a t e n a f r i e nd s h i p f o r bo t h m e n a nd w o m e n?LECTURE 2Recording to the partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs andthe scattered bones of about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado. At what is now theDinosaur National Monu-ment. Many of the best specimens may be seen today at museumsof natural history in the largest cities of the United States and Canada. This dinosaur pit isthe largest and best preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today. Many people get the idea from themassive bones and the pit bull that some disaster, such as a volcanic explosion or a sudden flood, killed a whole herd of dinosaursin this area. This could have happened, but it probably did not.The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bonesand the thickness of the deposit.In other deposits where the ani-mals were thought to have died together, the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in their proper places.Rounded pieces of fossil bones have been found here. These fragments got their smooth round shape, though, rolling along thestream bottom.In a mass killing, the bones would have been lefton the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this deposit, the bones occur throughout a zone of sandstone about 12 feet thick. The mixture of swamp dwellers and dry landtypes also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from dif-ferent places. The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard, not a place where they died. Most of the remains probably floated downon eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sandbar. Some of them may have come from far away dry land areas tothe west. Perhaps they drowned trying to cross a small stream orwashed away during floods. Some of the swamp dwellers mayhave got stuck in the very sandbar that became their grave.Others may have floated for miles before being stranded. Even today, similar events take place when floods come in the spring.Sheep, castling, deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float downstream until the flood recedesand leaves them stranded on a bar or shore where they lie half buried in the sand until they decay. Early travelers on the Mis-souri River reported that shores and bars were often lined with the decaying bodies of Buffalo that had died during spring floods.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.19.W h e r e c a n m a n y o f t h e b e s t d i no s a u r s p e c i m e n s b e f ound i n N o r t h A m e r i c a?20.W h a t o cc u r s t o m a n y p e op l e w h e n t h e y s ee t h e m a ss i v e bon e s i n t h e p i t w a ll?21.W h a t do e s t h e s p e a k e r s u gg e s t a bou t t h e l a r g e nu m b e r o f d i-no s a u r bon e s f ound i n t h e p e t?LECTURE 3I would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a newstyle of aging in our own society. Young people in this country have been accused of not caring for their parents the way they would have in the old country.And this is true. But it is also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of independence and autonomy. So we live alone, perhaps on theverge of starvation in time without friends. But we are independent. This standard American style has been forced on every ethnic group, although there are many groups for whom the idealis not practical. It is a poor ideal in pursuing it do es a great deal ofharm. This ideal of independence also contains a tremendous amount of unselfishness. In talking to today’s young mothers. I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they aregoing to be. I hear devoted, loving mothers say that when they are through raising their children, they have no intention of becoming grandmothers. They were astonished to hear that in most of the world, throughout most of its history, families have been three orfour generation families living under the same roof. We have over-emphasized the small family unit, father, mother, small children.We think it is wonderful if grandma and grandpa, if they’re stillalive, can live alone. We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way. And the only thing we can do for our daughter in law is to see as lttle of her as possible.All peoples nursing homes. Eventhe best run are flled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit. So in the end, older people have to devote all their energies to not being a burden. We are beginning to see what atremendous price we’ve paid for emphasis on independence andautonomy. We’ve isolated old people and we’ve cut off the children from their grandparents. One of the reasons we have as bada generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out. Young people are being deprived of the thing theyneed most perspective to know why their parents behave So peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.
