2017年12月英语六级考试真题答案（第二套）Part I Writing范文"Seek to understand others,and you will be understood"The enlightenment of this saying is not lost in our era but unwilling to understand others seems prevalent. The implication of this message is that people can understand each other as long as they try to do this first;there are,in fact,many who get understood by others because they manage to understand others first.There are several factors to be taken into account when we agree on“seek to understand others,and will be understood”:One reason is that trying to understand others can show your kindness to others.Other people would be thankful,so it is easier for them to accept your ideas.On the other hand,it will let you think what other people think so that you can get to know them better.Therefore,your ideas would have a greater chance to be understood.When we seek to understand others,we elevate the goodwill and team-work spirit.There is a stimulative effect that kicks in when people share this spirit.By seeking to understand others,we boost opportunity for fulfilling understanding between each other.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ALong Conversation11.【答案】C.They

Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream –I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course “Fashion Media & Promotion.46.我的梦想一直是在时尚和出版之间的领域工作。

2018年12月大学英语六级真题解析(仔细阅读卷二)
2018年12月份大学英语六级仔细阅读译文及详细解析（卷二）Section CPassage One全文翻译及命题分析也许是时候让农场主们歇歇脚了，因为机器人正被用来监测庄稼生长、拔除杂草，甚至放牧。
商业种植面积及其广袤，需要数千工时来耕作。
澳大利亚最偏远的苏坡杰克·唐斯（Suplejack Downs）牛场就是一个典型的例子。
它位于北部地区，绵延4000平方公里，距离最近的主要城市艾丽丝泉（Alice Springs）逾13个小时车程。
这些大规模农场极度偏远，往往无人照料，每年只能监测一两次，这意味着如果牲畜生病或需要援助，农场主可能需要很长时间才能发现。
然而，机器人正前来救援。
机器人目前正在威尔士进行为期两年的试验，该试验将训练“农场机器人”放牧，监测牲畜的健康，并确保有足够的牧场供它们放牧。
这些机器人配备了许多传感器来识别环境、牛群以及食物的状况，使用热传感器和视觉传感器来探测体温的变化。
悉尼大学的萨拉·苏卡黎(Salah Sukarieh)将在新南威尔士州中部的几个农场进行试验，他说：“你还可以用颜色、质地和形状传感器检测地面上的牧草质量。
”在试验期间，将对机器人的算法和技术性细节进行微调，使其更适合生病的牲畜，并确保它能够安全地绕过树木、淤泥、沼泽和丘陵等潜在障碍区。
苏卡黎说:“我们希望改善牲畜的健康品质，并让农场主更容易维护牲畜在广阔的草场上信步由缰的壮观景象。
”机器人并不局限于放牧和监控牲畜，他们还被用来统计单果数量，检查农作物，甚至拔除杂草。
许多机器人配备有高科技传感器和复杂的学习算法，以避免它们在与人类并肩工作时伤害人类。
机器人还知晓最高效、最安全的通行方式，使工程师和农场主能够分析和更好地优化机器人的属性和任务，并提供现场直播，实时反馈农场上正在发生的事情。
当然，农业工人担心其岗位被取代。
然而，由于劳动力空缺的不断加剧，大规模生产难以维持，正是农场主们在力推技术进步。

2017年12月六级部分真题参考答案(完整版)Part Ⅰ WritingBe Generous with Your HelpWhen it comes to the topic of help, we are frequently told that,"Help others, and you will be helped when you are in need. '' Simple as the sa ying is, it implies the importance of helping others in need. What I learn from the remark, in short words, is that helping others is helping yourself. Examples can easily be found to make this point clearer. The story of the ant and the dove is a case in point. An ant slipped into the river when drinking alo ng the river. A dove heard his cries for help and threw him a leaf, which helpe d the ant float back to the bank. After a few days, a hunter was raising his g un to the dove as she was building her nest. Seeing this, the ant ran quickly t o bite the hunter's leg. The dove heard the hunter's scream and flew away. All in all, this example indicates that when we offer our help to others, we are leaving a way open for the future. Helping others is a virtue, and we should take some measures to carry forward this virtue and do others a favor. Only in this way can we build a loving and harmonious society.Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension说明：由于2017年12月六级考试全国共考了2套听力，本套真题听力与前2套内容完全一样，只是顺序不一样。

Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.You may have heard that Coca-Cola once contained an ingredient capable of sparking particular devotion in consumers: cocaine. The “ coca” in the name referred the extracts of coca leaf that the drinks originator, chemist John Pemberton, mixed with his sugary syrup（姜汁）.At the time, coca leaf extract mixed with wi ne was a com mon tonic（滋补品），and Pembert on ' s sweet brew was a way to get around locallaws prohibiting the sale of alcohol. But the other half of the name represents another ingredient, less infamous（名声不好的）,perhaps, but also strangely potent: the kolanut.In West Africa, people have long chewed kola nuts as stimulants, because they contain caffeine that also occurs naturally in tea, coffee, and chocolate. They also have heart stimulants.Historian Paul Lovejoy relates that the cultivation of kola nuts in West Africa is hundreds of years old. The leafy, spreading trees were planted on graves and as part of traditional rituals. Even though the nuts, which need to stay moist, can be somewhat delicate to transport, traders carried them hundreds of miles throughout the forests and grasslands.Europeans did not know of them until the 1500s, when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of what is now Sierra Leone. And while the Portuguese took part in the trade, ferrying nuts down the coast along with other goods, by 1620, when English explorer Richard Jobson made his way up the Gambia, the nuts were still peculiar to his eyes.By the late 19th century, kola nuts were being shipped by the tonne to Europe and the US. Many made their way into medicines, intended as a kind of energy boost. One such popular medicinal drink was Vin Mariani, a French product consisting of coca extract mixed with red wine. It was created by a French chemist, Angelo Mariani, in 1863. So when Pemberton created his drink,it representedan ongoing trend. When cocaine eventually fell from grace as a beverage ingredient, kola-extract colas became popular.The first year it was available, Coca-Cola averaged nine servings a day across all the Atlanta soda fountains where it was sold. As it grew more popular, the company sold rights to bottle the soda, so it could travel easily. Today about 1.9 billion Cokes are purchased daily. It' s become so iconic that attempts to change its taste in 1985 sweetening it in a move projected to boost sales —proved disastrous, with widespread anger from consumers. -“CoClaocCalassic ,”returned to store shelves just three months after the “New Coke” was released.These days, the Coca-Cola recipe is a closely guarded secret. But it' s said to no longer contain kola nut extract, relying instead on artificial imitations to achieve the flavour.你可能听说可口可乐曾经含有一种能够使消费者“死忠”的成分：可卡因名中的“ coca”指的是古柯叶的提取物，该饮料的创始人化学家约翰•彭伯顿用它与含糖的姜汁混合在一起。
当时，古柯叶提取物与葡萄酒混合是常见的滋补品，而当地法律禁止出售含酒精饮料，彭伯顿的甜饮则避开了该法律。
“cola ”代表另一种成分——可乐果：尽管名声不太好，但非常给力。
在西非，人们长期以来一直嚼着可乐果作为兴奋剂，因为它们含有咖啡因。
咖啡因在茶、咖啡和巧克力中也天然存在。
它们也有心脏兴奋剂。
历史学家保罗•洛夫乔伊指出，西非的可乐果种植已有数百年的历史。
枝繁叶茂的可乐果树被种植在坟墓上，作为传统仪式的一部分。
尽管可乐果需要保持湿润，在运输上需要谨慎处理，但是贸易商却带着它们穿越森林和草原，运送了数百英里。
直到十六世纪，葡萄牙船只抵达现在的塞拉利昂海岸时，欧洲人才知道它们。
尽管葡萄牙人也加入了可乐果贸易，将可乐果和其他货物一起装船运输，但1620 年英国探险家理查德•乔布森前往冈比亚看到可乐果时，仍觉得它奇怪。
到十九世纪后期，可乐果才被大量运往欧洲和美国。
很多可乐果入了药，把它做能量增强剂。
当时有一种受欢迎的药用饮料叫马里亚尼葡萄酒，是一种法国产的古柯提取物与红葡萄酒的混合。
该产品由法国化学家安杰洛•马里亚尼于1863年创建。
所以当彭伯顿创造了他的饮料，代表着不断发展的趋势。
可卡因作为饮料配料最终“失宠”时，可乐果提取物变得受欢迎起来。
第一年，可口可乐在所有亚特兰大的冷饮小卖部的销量只有平均九份每天。
随着它越来越受欢迎，该公司开始销售瓶装苏打水，所以它更便于随身携带。
现在每天的销量高达约十九亿瓶。
可口可乐俨然已成为一种标志，以至于1985年改变其的口味的尝试被证明是灾难性的：原以为使其变得更甜可以促进销售，不料引起了消费者普遍愤慨。
“经典可口可乐”在“新可乐”发布后的三个月后重新回到货架上。
直到现在，可口可乐的配方仍是一个严格保守的秘密。
据说它不再含有古柯提取物，而是依靠人造的仿制品来达到相同的口味。
46. What do we lear n about chemist Joh n Pembert on?A) He used a stra ngely pote nt in gredie nt in a food suppleme nt.B) He created a drink containing alcohol without breaking law.C) He became no torious because of the coca drink he developed.D) He risked break ing local law to make a drink with coca leaves.【答案详解】答案是A o由第一自然段最后一句“ But the other half of the name represents another ingredient ，less infamous, perhaps, but also strangely potent: the kola nut ”我们可以得知“ cola ”代表另一种成分----------------------------------------------- 可乐果：尽管名声不太好，但非常给力。
很多同学首先就把A排除，理由是可口可乐不属于食品(food )的范畴。
食品定义是“可供人类食用或饮用的物质”，饮料当然也属于广义的食品。
做阅读理解，几个选项一定要仔细比较、揣摩。
【干扰分析】B、D选项具有很大的迷惑性。
C选项很容易排除。
由第一自然段第三句“ Pemberton's sweet brew wasa way to get around local laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol ”我们可以得知：当地法律禁止出售含酒精饮料，彭伯顿的甜饮则避开了该法律。
