Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sen-tences with the information given in the passage.Welcome,Freshmen. Have an iPod.Taking a step that many professors may view as a bit counterproductive, some colleges and universities are doling out Apple iPhones and Internet-capable iPods to their students.(1)The always-on Internet devices raise some novel possibilities, like tracking where students gather together. With far less controversy, colleges could send messages about canceled classes, delayed buses, campus crises or just the cafeteria menu.While schools emphasize its usefulness -online research in class and instant polling of students, for example - a big part of the attraction is, undoubtedly, that the iPhone is cool and a hit with students. Being equipped with one of the most recent cutting-edge IT products could just help a college or university foster a cutting-edge reputation.Apple stands to win as well, hooking more young consumers with decades of technology purchases ahead of them. The lone losers, some fear, could be professors.(3)Students already have laptops and cell phones, of course, but the newest devices can take class distractions to a new level. They practically beg a user to ignore the long-suffering professor struggling to pass on accumulated wisdom from the front of the room - a prospect that teachers find most irritating and students view as, well, inevitable."When it gets a little boring, I might pull it out," acknowledged Naomi Pugh, a first-year student at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Term., referring to her new iPod Touch, which can connect to the Internet over a campus wireless network.(4)She speculated that professors might try even harder to make classes interesting if they were to compete with the devices.(5)Experts see a movement toward the use of mobile technology in education, though they say it is in its infancy as professors try to come up with useful applications. Providing powerful hand?held devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of technology in higher education."We think this is the way the future is going to work," said Kyle Dickson, co-director of re?search and the mobile learning initiative at Abilene Christian University in Texas, which has bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for students entering this fall.Although plenty of students take their laptops to class, they don't take them everywhere and would prefer something lighter. Abilene Christian settled on the devices after surveying students and finding that they did not like hauling around their laptops, but that most of them always carried a cell phone, Dr. Dickson said.It is not clear how many colleges and universities plan to give out iPhones and iPods this fall; officials at Apple were unwilling to talk about the subject and said that they would not leak any institution's plans."We can't announce other people's news,"said Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPod and iPhone marketing at Apple. He also said that he could not discuss discounts to universities for bulk purchases.At least four institutions - the University of Maryland, Oklahoma Christian University, Abilene Christian and Freed-Hardeman - have announced that they will give the devices to some or all of their students this fall.Other universities are exploring their options. Stanford University has hired a student-run company to design applications like a campus map and directory for the iPhone. It is considering whether to issue iPhones but not sure it, necessary, noting that more than 700 iPhones were registered on the university's network last year.At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, iPhones might already have been everywhere, if AT&T, the wireless carrier offering the iPhone in the United States, had a more reliable network, said Andrew Yu, mobile devices platform project manager at M.I.T."We would have probably gone ahead with this, maybe just getting a thousand iPhones and giving them out," Mr. Yu said.(6)The University of Maryland at College Park is proceeding cautiously, giving the iPhone or iPod Touch to 150 students, said Jeffrey Huskamp, vice president and chief information officer at the university. "We don't think that we have all the answers," Mr. Huskamp said. By observing how students use the gadgets, he said, "We're trying to get answers from the students."At each college, the students who choose to get an iPhone must pay for mobile phone service. Those service contracts include unlimited data use. Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devices can connect to the Internet through campus wireless networks. With the iPhone, those networks may provide faster connections and longer battery life than AT&T's data network. Many cell phones allow users to surf the Web, but only some newer ones are capable of wireless connection to the local area computer network.University officials say that they have no plans to track their students (and Apple said it would not be possible unless students give their permission).(7) They say that they are drawn to the prospect of learning applications outside the classroom, though such lesson plans have yet to surface."My colleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computer research dealing with the combination of real-world and virtual reality)," said Christopher Dede, professor in learning technologies at Harvard University. "Alien Contact," for example, is an exercise developed for middle-school students who use hand-held devices that can determine their location. As they walk around a playground or other area, text, video or audio pops up at various points to help them try to figure out why aliens were in the schoolyard."You can imagine similar kinds of interactive activities along historical lines," like following the Freedom Trail in Boston, Professor Dede said. "It's important that we do research, so that we know how well something like this works."The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that students are less likely to participate in class if they are multi-tasking. (8)"I'm not someone who's anti-technology, but I,m always worried that technology becomes an end in and of itself, and it replaces teaching or it replaces analysis,,' said Ellen Millender, associate professor of classics at Reed College in Portland, Ore. (She added that she hoped to buy an iPhone for herself once prices fall.)Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law School for about 40 years, announced this week - in a detailed, footnoted memorandum -that he would ban laptop computers from his class on contract law."I would ban that too if I knew the students were using it in class," Professor Summers said of the iPhone, after the device and its capabilities were explained to him. (9)"What we want to encourage in these students is an active intellectual experience, in which they develop the wide range of complex reasoning abilities required of good lawyers."The experience at Duke University may ease some concerns. A few years ago, Duke began giving iPods to students with the idea that they might use them to record lectures (these older models could not access the Internet)."We had assumed that the biggest focus of these devices would be consuming the content," said Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at Duke.But that is not all that the students did. They began using the iPods to create their own "content," making audio recordings of themselves and presenting them. (10)The students turned what could have been a passive interaction into an active one, Ms. Futhey said.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

You can have a high I Qand a high EQ, which, of course, is awinningcombination, or be high inone and low in the other. The best study was done atBellLabs in New Jers ey, a very high IQ place. They do research intodevelopment for thecomm unications industry. In a division of electronicengineers, who were design ing equipment so advanced that they work in teams ofup to 150, co-work ers and managers were asked to nominate the standouts thestars in produ ctivity and effectiveness. They came up with 10 or15 names, andthat gro up of stars was compared with everyone else. It turned out there wasnodif ference in IQ, no difference in academic qualifications, no difference iny ears on the job.The only difference was emotional intelligence. The stars were people who knew how to getalong, who knew how to motivate the mselves,usually the kind of people you like to hang outwith. When these people ran upagainst a technical problem, to which they'd have to turn to someone else foran answer, they'd e-mail and get an answer right away, b ecause they built upanetwork of people before they needed them. The oth er people would e-mail andwait up to twoweeks for an answer. So you ca n see how being good in theinterpersonal realm actually was adirect bene fit, even for effectivelypursuing a technical task.Questions 26 to 28 are based onthe passage you have just heard.26.

He becomes an inventor and sells hisinventions in order toattend the university. As a young man, he began walking over tens ofthousandsof m iles during his lifetime, through the south to Florida, the west toCalifornia andnorth to Alaska, where readers are taken a long and particularlyhair-r aising adventure on alarge mass of floating ice. Muir's learning inobserv ation throughout his life led him to devote hislast years to preservingthe n atural environment.

The other's portra yal of Muir'slife is a testimony to whatit means to be lifelong learners an d to use thatlearning to inform and bring about change.Questions 29 to 31 are based onthe passage you have just heard.29. What kind of book is thespeaker introducing?30. What do we learn about JohnMuir when he was young?31. What did John Muir intend todo through writing and speaking?Passage ThreeDisaster movies often portraycatastrophes that destroy, or at least thre aten to destroyearth's entirepopulation. In fact, a virus emerged in the 19 70s that could've been just d after a river that passes throug h the Congo, the Ebola virusoriginally manifested itself inthe interior of Africa in 1976. Two strains ofthe disease, with almost identical symptom s,affected humans—Ebola-Zaire andEbola-Sudan. The Sudan version wa s deadly enough, killing50% of those itinfected. However, Zaire, with its 90% mortality rate, was even worse.Theorigins, though not the cause of Ebola-Sudan, can be traced back to a singleindividual in aSudanese town. Ebola-Zaire seemed to erupt in over 50 villagessimultaneously. Both str ainsquickly invaded local hospitals when needlesharing and other unheal thy practices ensured therapid spreading of theinfection by bringing peop le into contact with contaminated body fluids.If thevirus had been capab le of spreading through the air, or if one infected personhadunknowingly entered a large population center, Ebola might have become aworldwide epidemic. However, soon after these fierce outbreaks, the virus diedout,at least temporarily.Ebola was so deadly and killed so quickly thatwithin a short period of time, there was no onearound to infect. Hospitalworkers in at least one case deserted their workplace in panic, thushaltingthe ad ministering of potentially unclean disease spreading injections, butEbola has notdisappeared. With no known vaccination or cure available, itsee ms only a matter of time untilanother epidemic erupts.Questions 32 to 35 are based onthe passage you have just heard.32. What is Ebola virus namedafter?33. What do we learn aboutEbola-Zaire and Ebola-Sudan?34. How do people get infectedwith the disease according to the speak er?35. What does the speaker believe?听力填空The ideal companion machinewould not onlylook, feel, and sound friend ly but would also beprogrammed tobehave in an agreeable manner.Those qualities that make interaction withotherpeople enjoyable would be sim ulated as closelyas possible, and the machinewould appear to be charmin g stimulating, and easygoing.

In its first encounterit might be somewhat hesitant and unassuming, but as itcame to know the userit would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style.

2013年6月英语六级第二套答案
2013年6月英语六级答案第二套作文范文高分版：Keep Our Hearts StrongAs the proverb goes, constant drops wear out the stone. Good habits help pave our way to success. However, during the cultivation of good habits we are frequently bewildered and baffled by temptations from the world around us. Only when we are alert and determined enough to resist these temptations can we take a right and unswerving road to success。
In our daily life, it is essential for us to be self-disciplined. A healthy lifestyle, which may consist of regular exercise and balanced diet, is what most people are pursuing in contemporary society. Yet many people cannot resist the coziness of staying in and temptation of tasty but fatty food, thus giving up half way cultivating healthy habits and getting decreasingly robust. In addition, our progress in academic performance depends on good habits. We must restrain ourselves from endless entertainment. Otherwise, distracted and indulged, we can never maintain a good learning habit, let alone achieve academic excellence。
