To put in another word, it is wise for us to seize the moment and spare no efforts to finish the current task.On the one hand, actions play a key role in the course of achieving goals. As a consequence, it is imperative that we should take prompt actions to accomplish a future aim.

One of my proudest moments in my role as universities and science minister was being able to go some way to redress this injustice last month, by unveiling the new Mars rover named after this brilliant British scientist.Today, on International Women Women’’s Day, it is only right that we recognise the important work of female scientists like Franklin and seek to honour her memory by inspiring more women and girls to follow in her footsteps.More than 60 years after Franklin ’s death, we are (28) ______ living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon of our society –not least in science, innovation, higher education and research.universities UK universities are are world leaders when it comes to advancing and (29) ______ gender equality.

From new materials to cut down on plastics pollution to special devices to improve posture and comfort for wheelchair users, these women are at the forefront of creating the new technology for tomorrow.This is significant progress, but access to higher education is only half of theequation.

2020年7月英语六级真题及参考答案
2020年7月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】ListeningCONEVERSATION 1-Tonight，we have a very special guest，Mrs.An a Sanchez is a three time Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge. Mrs.Sanchez，thankyou for joining us.-Thankyou 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. l argue that in thepast 20 years we have had the best athletes the world has everseen. 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 bodies have not changed in thousands of years，what has changed is the scientific knowledge. This has allowed athletes to push the limits of whatwas previously thought possible.-That's interesting. Please tell us more about these perceivedlimits.-The world has seen sports records being broken. That could onlybe broken with the aid of technology，whether this be the speedof a tennis serve or the fastest time in 100 meter dash or 200meter swimming race.-Is there any concern that technology is giving some athletes an unfair 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.What do we learn about Anna Sanchez?2.What is the woman's book mainly about?3.What has changed in the past thousands of years?4.What is the man's concern about the use of technology in sports competitions?CONE VERSATION 2-I've worked in international trade all my life. My father did so to before me .So l guess you could say it runs in the family.-What products have you worked with?-Allsorts，really. I've imported textiles，machinery，toys，solar panels，all kinds of things. Over the years，trends in demand come and go. So what needs to be very flexible to succeed in this indus-try?-l see.What goods are you trading now?-I now import furniture from China into Italy and foods from Italyinto China.l even use the same container.It's a very efficient wayof conducting trade.-The same container.You mean you owna40footcargo container?-Yeah，that's right.I have a warehouse in Genoa，Italy，and another in Shanghai.I source midcentury 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 of furniture，things like pasta，cheese，wine，chocolate.And Is end all that to my warehouse in China in the same freight container l usefor the furniture.-Sol presume you sell both lines of products wholesale in each re- spective country?-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.I've made great business contacts overtime.-How many times do you ship?-l did 12 shipments last year，18 this year，and I hope to 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 five to eight are based on the conversation you havejust heard.5.What does the woman think is required to be successful in the international trade?6.What does the woman say is special about her way of doing change?7.What does the woman have in both Italy and China?8.What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more profitable?ListeningLECTURE 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 im-portant to women than to men.Asked to consider the ingredientsof close friendship，women rated these qualities above all others. Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity in in- terests，selected by 77 percent of men，and responsiveness in a crisis，chosen by 61 percent of male respondents.Mental stimula- tion，ranked third in popularity by men as well as women，was the only area of overlap.Among men，only 28 percent named open nessa san important quality；caring was picked by just 23per- cent.It is evident by their selections that when women speak ofclose friendships，they are referring to emotional factors，while men emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend's company.Thatis，when a man speaks of“a friend”he is likely to be talking about someone he does things with-a teammate，a fellow hobbyist，a drinking buddy.These activities are the fabric of the friendship；itis a“doing”relationsh ip in which similarity in interests is the key bond.This factor was a consideration of less than 11 percent of women.Women opt for a warm，emotional atmosphere where communi- cation flows freely；activity is mere stly，men，as we have seen，have serious questions about eachother's loyalty. Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on respon- siveness in a crisisSomeone l 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 indi cated that“being there when needed was taken for granted.”Asfor 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 friendship，men are plagued in almost equal 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 findQuestion 16 to 18.Based on the recording you have just heard16.What quality do men value most concerning friendship accord- ing to a questionnaire response?17.What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?18.What may threaten a friendship for both men and women? LECTURE 2Recording to the partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs and the scattered bones of about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado.At what is now the Dinosaur National Monu- ment.Many of the best specimens maybe seen today at museumsof natural history in the largest cities of the United States and Canada.This dinosaur pit is the largest and best preserved depos-it of dinosaurs known today.Many people get the idea from the massive bones and the pitbull that some disaster，such as a vol ca nic 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 an i- mals were thought to have died together，the skeletons were usu- ally complete and often all the bones were in their proper places. Rounded pieces of fossil bones have been found here.These frag ments got their smooth round shape，though，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 inthis deposit，the bones occur throughout a zone of sandstone about 12feet thick.The mixture of swamp dwellers and dryland types also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from dif- ferent places.The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard，not aplace where they died.Most of the remains probably floated downon eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallows and- bar.Some of them may have come from faraway dryland areas tothe west.Perhaps they drowned trying to cross a small stream or washed 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 re-cedes and leaves them stranded on a bar or shore where they liehalf buried in the sand until they decay.Early travelers on theM issour iRiver reported that shores and bars were often lined withthe decaying bodies of Buffalo that had died during spring floods. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard 19.Where can many of the best dinosaur specimens be found in NorthAmerica?20.What occurs to many people when they see the massive bonesin the pit wall?21.What does the speaker suggest about the large number of di-no saur bones found in the pet?LECTURE 3I would like particularly to talkabout the need to develop a newstyle of aging in our own society.Young people in this countryhave been accused of not caring for their parents the way theywould have in the old country.And this is true.But it is also truethat old people have been influenced by an American ideal of in- dependence and autonomy.So we live alone，perhaps on theverge of starvation in time without friends.But we are indepen- dent.This standard American style has been forced on everyethnic group，although there are many groups for whom the ideal is not practical.It is a poor ideal in pursuing it does a great deal of harm.This ideal of independence also contains a tremendousamount of unselfishness.In talking to today's young mothers.Ihave asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be.l 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 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 thinkthe 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.All peoples nursing homes.Eventhe 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 emphasis on independence and autonomy.We've isolated old people and we've cutoff the chil- dren 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 behaves opec u- liar ly and why their grandparents say the things they do. Questions 22 to 25 based on recording you have just heard.22.What of young Americans being accused of?23 What does the speaker say about old people in the United States?24.What is astonishing to the young mothers interviewed by the speaker?25.What does the speaker say old people try their best to do?答案Listening1.A She is a great athlete解析：同义替换Olympic Champion=athlete2.D How technology has helped athlete to scale new heights.解析：视听一致+同义替换push humans to their edge of physical abili- ty=scale new heights.3.B Our scientific knowledge.解析：视听一致4.CIt may give an unfair advantage to some athletes.解析：视听一致5.B Flexibility解析：视听一致6.D Using the same container back and forth.解析：视听一致7.A Warehouses.解析：视听一致8.C Lower import duties.解析：视听一致+同义替换import duties=customs duties9.A It helps employees to reduce their stress.解析：视听一致(乱序全篇有stress reducing=reduce their stress)10.D Humor can help workers excel at routine tasks解析：视听一致11.B Take the boss doll apart as long as they reassemble it.解析：视听一致+同义替换put...back in place=reassemble it 12.A The recent finding of a changed gene in obese mice.解析：视听一致+同义替换the latest discovery=recent finding 13.DIt renders mice unable to sense when to stop eating.解析：视听一致+同义替换can't tell=unable to sense14.C People are born with a tendency to have a certain weight. 解析：视听一致15.B The abundant provision of rich foods解析：视听一致16.A Similarity in interests.解析：视听一致17.D Emotional factors.解析：视听一致(问女生，要通过问题判断)18.C Feelings of betrayal解析：视听一致(问男女共同点，要通过问题判断)19.DAt museums of natural history in large cities解析：视听一致(要通过问题判断)20.B Some natural disaster killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in the area.解析：视听一致21.A The floated down an eastward of flowing river.解析：视听一致22.C Failing to care for parents in the traditional way.解析：视听一致+同义替换(not caring=failing to care，in an old coun try=in the traditional way)23.D The have a sense of independence and autonomy.解析：视听一致24.B There have been extended families in most parts of theworld.解析：视听一致+同义替换(three or four-generation family=extended families)25.B Avoid being a burden to their children解析：视听一致+同义替换(not=avoid)Reading【1】选词填空26.G grabbed27.B declaration28.Ms take29.K overwhelming30.C deteriorating31.F eroding32.E disaster33.D determined34.0 urgent35.A capacity段落匹配36.C Historically，children didn't receive...37.JIna set of experiments...38.F Part of the motivation...39.A Until a few decades ago...40.G To prove that infants know more...41.E Today，avery different picture...42.M There'sno consensus...43.HInst aed of engaging babies...44.B Much of the subsequent research...45.L Despite these obvious advances...仔细阅读46.B They hold a different view on stress from the popular one.47.D They apply extreme tactics.48.A They help him combat stress from work.49.DIt does not help buildup one's tolerance.50.C Its effect varies considerably from person to person.51.B Hunting may also be a solution to the problem caused byhunting.52.CIt leads to ecological imbalance.53.A Overpopulation is not an issue for most hunted animals.54.A When it benefits animals and their ecosystem.55.C Coordinated efforts of hunters and environmentalists.Translation【1】《三国演义》(The Romance of the Three Kingdoms) 是中国一部著名的历史小说，写于十四世纪。

参考范文The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Consequently,people are getting more opportunities to speak or meet another language but their own mother tongue with the development of the economy.Undoubtedly,an app of translation is crucial for people who cannot handle the language perfectly.But the viewpoints are split one whether this kind of apps are wholly a good thing.Where there is a light,there is a shadow.Some people argue that a translation app will bridge them with the native speakers adequately no matter who will be a traveler or a businessman.It will pose a huge threat for people who can not understand what they say.Fortunately, everyone will interact richly with the apps like this.On the other hand,some people think that the translations app cannot fully create and convey the feelings on the authentic language.As a result,it will bring more misunderstandings.Besides,the opponents take thepoint of view that people will be more over-reliant on the mobile-phones and Internet.Form where I stand,I would take the the translation on this kind of apps as a reference rather than a kind of dependence.The most effective and beneficial way to express yourself and communicate with a foreigner is to improve one’s ability to exert this unfamiliar language.As an old saying goes is Practice makes perfect.范文参考译文：在经济飞速发展的当下，人们有越来越多的机会使用外语。

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 talking about someone he does things with-a teammate, a fellow hobbyist, a drinking buddy. These activitiesare the fabric of the friendship; it is a "doing"relationship in which similarity in interests is the key bond. This factor was a consideration ofless than 11 percent of Women.Women opt for a warm, emotional atmosphere where communi-cation 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 respon-siveness 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 interviews this was confirmed numerous times as woman after woman indi-cated 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, whilecompetition and betrayal are the main thorns to female friendship, men are plagued in almost equal 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.What quality do men value most concerning friendship accord-ing to a questionnaire response?17. What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?18.What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?LECTURE2Recording to the partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs and the scattered bones of about 300more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado. At what is now the Dinosaur National Monu-ment. Many of the best specimens may be seen today at museums of natural history in the largest cities of the United States and Canada. This dinosaur pit is the largest and best preserved depos-it of dinosaurs known today. Many people get the idea from the massive bones and the pit bull that some disaster, such as a volca. nic 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 ani-mals were thought to have died together, the skeletons were usu-ally complete and often all the bones were in their proper places. Rounded pieces of fossil bones have been found here. These frag-ments got their smooth round shape, though, rolling along the stream bottom.In a mass killing, the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottomtogether 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 land types 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 down oneastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sand-bar. Some of them may have come from far away dry land areas to the west. Perhaps they drowned trying to cross a small stream or 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, castling, deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float downstream until the flood re-cedes and 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. Where can many of the best dinosaur specimens be found in North America?20.What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?21. What does the speaker suggest about the large number of di-nosaur bones found in the pet?LECTURE3I would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a new style of aging in our own society. Young people in thiscountry have been accused of not caring for their parents the way they would have in the old country. And this is true. But itis also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of in-dependence and autonomy. So we live alone, perhaps on the verge of starvation in time without friends. But we are indepen-dent. 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 pooridealin 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 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 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. All peoples 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 emphasis on independence and autonomy.We've isolated old people and we've cut off the chil-dren from their grandparents.One of the reasons we have as bad a generationgap 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 pecu-liarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.

There is a special life stage that our generation goes through. It is the transition
period, during which we move from teenage to adolescence. We learn who we are and
what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are saddled with a lot
of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.
My parents have already expressed feelings of anxiety over my future with
academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind
graduation in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to acquaint myself
with the word , they seemed so shocked. That idea sounded foreign and to them was
equivalent to lack of ambition.
Apart from that, my mother has expressed to me that she is worried that I am not
searching for a boyfriend. I indicated this stupid idea of marrying out of college since
it does not suit me one bit. Woman today can get what they want out of life without a
man, even children, as it becomes more acceptable for woman to adopt children.
I personally want to stay in school as long as I can reinforce my academic work,
possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after,begin
to think about shifting to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or
less “ready” for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me.
