阅读理解及翻译原文：For hundreds of millions of years, turtles (海龟) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟) down to the water’s edge lest they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. A formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected to protect their prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct.But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Oceana. The figures prompted Oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from “threatened” to “endangered”—meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “The threat is from commercial fishing,” says Griffin. Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and long line fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles.Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龙) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.1. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.A．human activities have changed the way turtles surviveB．efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying outC．government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles’extinctionD．marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles’reproduction2. What does the author mean by “Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness”(Line 1, Para. 2)?A．Nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles.B．Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities.C．The course of nature will not be changed by human interference.D．The turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection.3.What constitutes a major threat to the survival of turtles according to Elizabeth Griffin?A．Their inadequate food supply.B．Unregulated commercial fishing.C．Their lower reproductively ability.D．Contamination of sea water4. How does global warming affect the survival of turtles?A．It threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs.B．The changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch.C．The rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow.D．It takes them longer to adapt to the high beach temperature.5. The last sentence of the passage is meant to ________.A．persuade human beings to show more affection for turtlesB．stress that even the most ugly species should be protectedC．call for effective measures to ensure sea turtles’survivalD．warn our descendants about the extinction of species译文：在数亿年前的时间里，海龟一直在挣扎着离开大海到海滩上产卵，很久以前有有自然纪录片来庆祝他们,或GPS卫星和海洋生物学家来跟踪他们，又或者志愿者们用手把幼龟放在海边以避免它们受到光线的影响迷失方向而爬向汽车旅馆的停车场。

2009年6月全国大学英语四级考试真题和答1

2009年6月全国大学英语四级考试真题和答1Dinformation given in the passage.How Do You See DiversityAs a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company. During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was Opt the candida te’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those inauthority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make. “During my Mindsets coaching session, I wastaught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate teethes began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to say in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”‘Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias,” he recalls. “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.” In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“I had a management position open in toy department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. lied I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the manwas the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to he home with her children and not travel.” Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-Intentioned but incorrect thinking tha t limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce. “I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation. I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allots them to make an informed decision.” Dale credits the workshop, “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. Fie recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments waswhen I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year. In my ignorance, I assumed he had his dates wrong’, as the first of Janua ry had just passed. When I advised him of this, I gave him a tong talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.“He patiently waited, then when I was done, he said he would like Chinese New Year off, not the Western New Year. He explained politely that in his culture the new year did not begin January first, and that Chinese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up. But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture.“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with toyemployees, rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all,” Doug admits. “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”A Better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales. “Most of my customers speak English as a second language. One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service. As a result, Oct customer base has increased.”Once we start to see people as individuals, and discard the stereotypes, we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. Diversity isabout coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities. It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity.When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from Oct past, from the media, peers, family, friends, etc., toe begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed (有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values. We need to van) ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

W: I forgot to tell you that Fred called last night to borrow your sleeping bag.M: Oh, I saw him at the gym this morning, but he didn’t say anything. So he must have asked somebody else.Q: What does the man imply?12. W: These summer days are getting to be more than I can take. It was even too hot to go to thepool yesterday.M: Hang in there. According to the weather report we should have some relief by the end of the week.Q: What does the man mean?13. W: Well, tonight we have Professor Brown in our studio to talk about the famous oil painting of Queen Victoria. Good evening, professor.M: Good evening, madam, my pleasure to be here tonight.Q: What is the woman doing?14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldn’t know by looking at them that I water them every week.W: Maybe they don’t like direct sunlight. I had the same problem with some of my plants. And a little shade helps them immensely.Q: What does the woman imply?15. M: I’m really exhausted, Mary. But I don’t want to miss the Hollywood movie that comes on at 11.W: If I were you, I’d skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow. And anyway I’ve heard it’s not as exciting as advertised.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?16. M: Those modern sculptures over there are really weird. Don’t you think so?W：Well, I couldn’t stand them either at first. But now I’ve come to like modern art, particularly those sculptures carved by Italian artists.Q: What does the woman mean?17. M: I’m really glad our club decided to raise money for the children’s hospital. And most of the people we phoned seemed happy to contribute.W: Yeah! I agree. Now that we’ve gone through all the numbers on our list, I guess we can call it a day.Q: What do we learn about the speakers?18. M: Have you heard of Professor Smith? I’m thinking of taking an advanced engineering course with him. What do you think?W: Yeah! You really should. He’s published dozens of books so far, once been recomm ended as a textbook for postgraduates.Q: What does the woman imply?长对话Long conversation oneW: You’re the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover?M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don’t cover international stories. We don’t cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill.W: How do you choose the topic? Do you choose one because it’s what the public wants to know about or because it’s what you feel the public ought to know about?M: I think it’s a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn’t seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied.W: How do you know that you’ve got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time?M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that.Q19-2119. What kind of topics does Public Eye cover?20. How does Public Eye choose its topics?21. What factor plays an important role in running a successful program?Passage 1Getting behind the wheel of a car can be an exciting new step in a teen’s life. But along with that excitement comes a new responsibility---understanding the need for common sense and maturity to avoid accidents. In an effort to spread awareness to teens across the nation, the Allstate Foundation sponsored a Keep-The-Drive Summit at Sunset Station on January 23rd. Students from Kennedy and Alamo Heights High schools participated in the summit which was held here for the first time. The goal of the year-long effort is to educate teens on the rules of safe driving and the severe consequences that can result if those rules are not followed, and then have them communicate that information to their peers. The students watched videos that told them about the numbers of teenage driving injuries and deaths. They listen to the videos as students from other cities share their stories of how thei r reckless driving affected not only their lives but also those of their passengers. “We are trying to create awareness in high schools across the countries,” said Westerman, an Allstate representative, “we focus on changing how teens think behind the wheel.” According to the presentation, more teens die in automobile crashes in the United States each year than from drugs, violence, smoking and suicide. An average of 16 teens die every day in motor vehicle crashes and nearly forty percent of those are caused by speeding. Texas is the state with the most teen driving deaths according to the presentation. Students agreed that the statistics were amazing and made them think twice about how they drive.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the question you have just heard.Q26. For what purpose did the Allstate Foundation sponsor the Keep-The-Drive Summit?Q27. What causes the greatest number of deaths among American teens according to the presentation?Q28. What can we conclude about the Keep-The-Drive Summit?Passage 2Dr. Allen Hersh designs smells for businesses. He says that it doesn’t take a whole lot of smell to affect you. Store owners can lure you to the candy aisle, even if you don’t realize your are smelling candy. This idea scares a lot of people. Groups that protect the rights of shoppers are upset. They say the stores are using a kind of brainwashing which they call “smell-washing”. “It’s prettydishonest,” says Mark Silbergeld. He runs an organization that checks out products for consumers. The s cientists hired to design the scents disagree. “There’s soft background music. There’s special lighting. There’re all sorts of bells being used,” says Dr. Hersh, “why not smells?” “One reason why not,” says Silbergeld, “is that some people are allergic to certain scents pumped into products or stores.” But there is a whole other side to this debate, “do the smells really work?” So far, there is little proof one way or the other. But Dr. Hersh has run some interesting experiments. In one of Hersh’s experimen ts, 31 volunteers were led into a shoe store that smells slightly like flowers. Later, another group shopped in the same store, but with no flower odor. Dr. Hersh found that 84% of the shoppers were more likely to buy the shoes in the flower-scented room, but Hersh found out something even stranger. “Whether the volunteers like the flower scent or not didn’t matter,” Hersh says, “Some reported that they hated the smell, but they still were more likely to buy the shoes in the scented room.”Questions 29 t o 31 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.Q29. Why are some people against the use of smells to attract customers?Q30. What is Dr. Hersh’s attitude to the use of smells for business?Q31. What did Hersh’s experiment show?Passage 3This is Ray McCarthy with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. A passenger train carrying hundreds of workers home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with hundreds more injured. Emergency and rescue services rushed to the scene. But our reporter says it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard.And finally, the motoring organizations have issued a warning to drivers following the recent fallsof snow in many parts of the country. Although the falls may be slight, they say extra care is needed.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q32: What accident happened recently in Japan?Q33: What do the reports say about the recent accident in Japan?Q34: Why did people have to leave the London store last night?Q35: What did motoring organizations advise drivers to do?English is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe English is acquired as the mother tongue; in others it is used as a second language. Some nations use English as their official language, performing the function of administration; in others it is used as an international language for business, commerce and industry.What factors and forces have led to the spread of English? Why is English now considered to be so prestigious that, across the globe, individuals and societies feel disadvantaged if they do not have competence in this language? How has English changed through 1,500 years? These are some of the questions that you investigate when you study English.You also examine the immense variability of English and come to understand how it is used as a symbol of both individual identity and social connection. You develop in-depth knowledge of the intricate structure of the language. Why do some non-native speakers of English claim that it is a difficult language to learn, while infants born into English-speaking communities acquire their language before they learn to use forks and knives? At the university of Sussex, you are introduced to the nature and grammar of English in all its aspects. This involves the study of sound structures, the formation of words, the sequencing of words and the construction of meaning, as well as examination of the theories explaining these aspects of English usage. You are encouraged to develop your own individual responses to various practical and theoretical issues, which are raised by studying how speakers and writers employ English for a wide variety of purposes.听力复合式听写答案36. derived37. immense38. convenient39. accuracy40. largely41. instant42. recalls43. texture。

2009年6月全国大学英语六级考试真题和答案

2009年6月全国大学英语六级考试真题和答案On the Importance of a Name有人认为名字（名称）不重要；有人认为非常重要；你认为呢？On the Importance of a NameA name is the representation of a person or an entity. It plays an important role in social recognition, just as the old saying goes: a thing is the entity of a name. However, people have diverse opinions on the importance of a name. Some people say that name is important, while the others maintain the other way round. But I think name is of great importance because it is the symbol that distinguishes one thing or person from the others.We cannot deny the importance of a name, be it for a person or a thing. In the world today, no one can live without identification because they must get social recognition, and name is the symbol of the identification. Once a person or a thing gets social recognition, people will remember their names, and they will get further improvement. Besides, a good name will bring people some nice association. A person with a special name may be easily accepted by a group or a community because of the deep impression the name leaves.As for companies or products, a name is also vitally important. Years ago, a computer company spent millions of dollars for the name “Acer”. Since then, the company caught the attention of potential customers and became one of giants in the field. However, another company was facing bankruptcy, for the name of its product implies unfavorable meaning thus cannot be sold out. Can we say that name is not important?A name may affect the whole life of a person, and a name may also influence the future of a company and its products. Therefore, we must treat names carefully.快速阅读：1. B) enjoyed having the independence2. A) hinders their healthy growth3. D) somewhat mixed responses4. A) promote sensible promoting5.

TranslationPart I Writing (30 minutes)1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled On the Importance of a Name. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.1. 有人说名字或名称很重要；2. 也有人觉得名字或名称无关紧要；3. 我认为……。

On the Importance of a Name________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _______________正确答案：On the Importance of a Name When asked about which symbol can represent one’s identity, I believe the first answer occurring to most people should be their names. There is no denying the fact that it is a controversial topic whether names are important or not. Some hold the positive view. When choosing names for themselves or for their children, people generally enrich the names with special implied meanings, expecting that the names could reflect something more favorable. They believe a name reveals one’s emotion, will and ambition, and symbolizes one’s image, qualities and tastes. An elegant name which fits a person can imply psychological guidance, give him self-confidence, contribute to his success and accompany him for the whole life. As a result, they make painstaking efforts to choose outstanding names, wishing for success, good luck and more wealth. Despite that, others have voiced a different opinion that names are not as vital as they are supposed to be. A name is a word or phrase that man uses to denote and identify a specific person, place or thing. As an important identity of a person in society, a name carries no other social functions. So, there is no inexorable correlation between the sign and “the signified”. Personally, I admit that names do influence us in different ways, but any overestimation of their effects on us, as many people put it, is just a fatalist. No matter what differences names make to our life and career, their symbolic function can never be changed. As a matter of fact, names themselves by no means lead to success or professional achievements in one’s life.解析：开头段：引入话题，名字是否重要是一个有争议的话题。
