之月大学英语六级级2012年12月大学英语六全真预测试题三及答案解析主编：汤敏2010年12月大学英语六级全真预测试题三及答案解析一、阅读理解第1题：Racket,din clamor,noise.Whatever you want to call it,unwanted sound is America's most widespread nuisance.But noise is more than just a nuisance.It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health.Day and night,at home,at work,and at play,noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress.No one is immune to this stress.Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it,the ear,in fact,never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme tension,as to a strange sound in the night.The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building up inside us.Indeed,because irritability is so apparent,legislators have made public annoyance the basis of many noise abatement(消除)programs.The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention.Nevertheless,when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise,we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us,some of which may be damaging to our health.Of the many health hazards related to noise,hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals.The other hazards are harder to pin down.For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection.The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases.Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have serious consequences for those already ill in mind or body.Noise affects us throughout our lives.For example,there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise.During infancy and childhood,youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest.why,then,is there not greater alarm about these dangers?Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not vet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world.It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.1.The phrase"immune to"(Line3,Para.1)are used to mean________.[A]unaffected by[B]hurt by[C]unlikely to be seen by[D]unknown by2.The author's attitude toward noise would best be described as________.[A]unrealistic[B]traditional[C]concerned[D]hysterical3.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?[A]Noise is a major problem;most people recognize its importance.[B]Although noise can be annoying,it is not a major problem.[C]Noise is a major problem and has not yet been recognized as such.[D]Noise is a major problem about which nothing can be done.4.The author condemns noise essentially because it________.[A]is against the law[B]can make some people irritable[C]is a nuisance[D]is a danger to people's health5.The author would probably consider research about the effects noise has on people to be ________.[A]unimportant[B]impossible[C]a waste of money[D]essential1小题>、【正确答案】：A2小题>、【正确答案】：C3小题>、【正确答案】：C4小题>、【正确答案】：D5小题>、【正确答案】：D【参考解析】：1.A语义题。

From the moment we enter 1 as small children, and as we progress through primary and secondary education, we are laying the foundation for the life ahead of us. We must2 ourselves to work hard so that we can pass exams and gain the qualifications we will need to3 a good job. We must also acquire 4 life skills so that we can fit in and work with those around us. And of course health education helps us to understand how we can stay 5 and healthy.For most people, this process ends when they are in their mid-to-late teens. For others, however, it is the beginning of a(n)6 of learning. After they finish school, many progress to 7 education where they will learn more useful skills such as computer literacy or basic business management. Others will enroll in a program of 8 education at a university where, with hard work, they will have the opportunity to graduate after three or four years with a well-earned degree. After that, they may work for a while before 9 to study for a higher degree—an M.A., for example, or a PhD. And if they live a long way from a college or university, they might follow a correspondence course using mail and the Internet. In fact, it is 10 due to the proliferation of computers that many people, who have not been near a school for many years, have started to study again and can proudly class themselves as mature students.[A] changing [I] discipline[B] secure [J] fit[C] longer [K] opting[D] kindergarten [L] school[E] higher [M] valuable[F] lifetime [N] heavily[G] deepen [O] further[H] largely【参考答案】：DIBMJFOEKH二、阅读理解第2题：The Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday that it is trying to track down as many as 386 piglets that may have been genetically engineered and wrongfully sold into the U.S. food supply.The focus of the FDA investigation is on pigs raised by researchers at the University ofIllinois in Urbana Champaign. They engineered the animals with two genes: one is a cow gene that increases milk production in the sow; the other, a synthetic gene, makes the milk easier for piglets to digest. The goal was to raise bigger pigs faster.There has been no evidence that either genetically altered plants or animals actually trigger human illness, but critics warn that potential side effects remain unknown. University officials say their tests showed the piglets were not born with the altered genes, but FDA rules require even the offspring of genetically engineered animals to be destroyed so they won't get into the food supply.The FDA, in a quickly arranged news conference on Wednesday prompted by inquiries by USA TODAY, said the University of Illinois would face possible sanctions and fines for selling the piglets to a livestock broker, who in turn sold them to processing plants.Both the FDA and the university say the pigs that entered the market do not pose a risk to consumers. But the investigation follows action by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in December to fine a Texas company that contaminated 500,000 bushels of soybeans with corn that had been genetically altered to produce a vaccine for pigs.Critics see such cases as evidence of the need for more government oversight of a burgeoning(新兴的)area of scientific research. "This is a small incident, but it's incidents like this that could destroy consumer confidence and export confidence," says Stephanie Childs of the Grocery Manufacturers of America. "We already have Europe shaky on biotech. The countries to which we export are going to look at this."The University of Illinois says it tested the DNA of every piglet eight times to make sure that the animal hadn't inherited the genetic engineering of its mother. Those piglets that did were put back into the study. Those that didn't were sold to the pig broker. "Any pig that was tested negative for the genes since 1999 has been sent off to market," says Charles Zukoski, vice chancellor for research.But FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford says that under the terms of the university's agreement with the FDA, the researchers were forbidden to remove the piglets without FDA approval. "The University of Illinois failed to check with FDA to see whether or not the animals could be sold on the open market. And they were not to be used under any circumstance for food."The FDA is responsible for regulating and overseeing transgenic animals because such genetic manipulation is considered an unapproved animal drug.1. The 386 piglets wrongfully sold into food supply are from ________.[A] Europe [B] an American research organization[C] a meat processing plant [D] an animal farm2. The purpose of the transgenic engineering research is to ________.[A] get pigs of larger size in a shorter time[B] make sows produce more milk[C] make cows produce more milk[D] make pigs grow more lean meat3. The 4th paragraph shows that the University of Illinois ________.[A] was criticized by the FDA[B] is in great trouble[C] is required by the FDA to call back the sold piglets[D] may have to pay the penalty4. The FDA declares that the wrongfully sold piglets ________.[A] may have side effects on consumers [B] may be harmful to consumers[C] are safe to consumers [D] may cause human illness5. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.[A] all the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering[B] part of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering[C] none of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering[D] half of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering1小题>、【正确答案】：B2小题>、【正确答案】：A3小题>、【正确答案】：D4小题>、【正确答案】：C5小题>、【正确答案】：B【参考解析】：1.B 推断题。

2010年12月大学英语六级考试模拟题四

2010年12月英语六级考试预测试题及答案四Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Salary or Interest. Y ou should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 如今的大学毕业生面临的职业选择：兴趣重要还是工资重要2. 你的观点3. 结论Salary or InterestPart 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 1-4, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 5-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.April Fools' Special: History's HoaxesHappy April Fools' Day. To mark the occasion, National Geographic News has compiled a list of some of the more memorable hoaxes in recent history. They are the lies, darned(可恨的) lies, and whoppers(弥天大谎)that have been perpetrated on the gullible(易受骗的)and unsuspecting to fulfill that age-old desire held by some to put the joke on others.Internet HoaxesThe Internet has given birth to a proliferation(增殖)of hoaxes. E-mail inboxes are bombarded on an almost daily basis with messages warning of terrible computer viruses that cause users to delete benign(良性)chunks of data from their hard drives, or of credit card scams that entice the naive to give all their personal information, including passwords and bank account details, to identity thieves. Other e-mails give rise to wry(歪曲的)chuckles, which is where this list begins.Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide(一氧化二氢)City officials in Aliso Viejo, California, were so concerned about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide that they scheduled a vote last month on whether to ban foam(泡沫)cups from city-sponsored events after they learned the chemical was used in foam-cup production.Officials called off the vote after learning that dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific term for water."It's embarrassing," city manager David J. Norman told the Associated Press. "We had a paralegal(律师助手)who did bad research."Indeed, the paralegal had fallen victim to an official-looking Web site touting the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. An e-mail originally authored in 1990 by Eric Lechner, then a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, claimed that dihydrogen monoxide "is used as an industrial solvent and coolant, and is used in the production of Styrofoam(聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料)."Other dangers pranksters(爱开玩笑的人)associated with the chemical included accelerated corrosion and rusting, severe burns, and death from inhalation.V ersions of the e-mail continue to circulate today, and several Web sites, including that of theCoalition to Ban DHMO, warn, tongue-in-cheek, of water's dangers.Alabama Changes V alue of PiThe April 1998 newsletter put out by New Mexicans for science and Reason contains an article titled "Alabama Legislature Lays Siege to Pi". It was penned by April Holiday of the Associmated Press (sic) and told the story of how the Alabama state legislature voted to change the value of the mathematical constant Pi from 3.14159 to the round number of 3.The ersatz(假的)news story was written by Los Alamos National Laboratory physicist Mark Boslough to parody(滑稽地模仿)legislative and school board attacks on the teaching of evolution in New Mexico.At Boslough's suggestion, Dave Thomas, the president of New Mexicans for science and Reason, posted the article in its entirety to the Internet newsgroup Talk. Origins on April 1. (The newsgroup hosts a lively debate on creation vs. evolution.) Later that evening Thomas posted a full confession to the hoax. He thought he had put all rumors to bed.But to Thomas's surprise, however, several newsgroup readers forwarded the article to friends and posted it on other newsgroups.When Thomas checked in on the story a few weeks later, he was surprised to learn that it had spread like wildfire. The telltale signs of the article's satirical intent, such as the April 1 date and misspelled "Associmated Press" dateline, had been replaced or deleted.Alabama legislators were bombarded with calls protesting the law. The legislators explained that the news was a hoax. There was not and never had been such a law.TV and Newspaper HoaxesBefore the advent of the Internet, and even today, traditional media outlets such as newspapers, radio, and television, have sometimes hoaxed their audiences. The deceptions run the gamut from purported natural disasters to wishful news.Swiss Spaghetti (意大利式细面条) HarvestAlex Boese, curator of the Museum of Hoaxes, a regularly updated Web site that also appeared in book form in November 2002, said one of his favorite hoaxes remains one perpetrated by the British Broadcasting Company.On April 1, 1957, the BBC aired a report on the television news show Panorama about the bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland.Viewers watched Swiss farmers pull pasta off spaghetti trees as the show's anchor, Richard Dimbleby, attributed the bountiful harvest to the mild winter and the disappearance of the spaghetti weevil.The broadcaster detailed the ins and outs of the life of the spaghetti farmer and anticipated questions about how spaghetti grows on trees. Thousands of people believed the report and called the BBC to inquire about growing their own spaghetti trees, to which the BBC replied, "Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.""It was a great satirical effect about British society," Boese said. "British society really was like that at that time. The British have a tendency to be a bit insulated(绝缘的) and do not know that much about the rest of Europe."Taco Liberty BellOn April 1, 1996, readers in five major U.S. cities opened their newspapers to learn from a full page announcement that the Taco Bell Corporation had purchased the Liberty Bell from the U.S. government. The announcement reported that the company was relocating the historic bellfrom Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Irvine, California. The move, the corporation said in the advertisement, was part of an "effort to help the national debt".Hundreds of other newspapers and television shows ran stories related to the press release on the matter put out by Taco Bell's public relations firm, PainePR. Outraged citizens called the Liberty Bell National Historic Park in Philadelphia to express their disgust. A few hours later the public relations firm released another press announcement stating that the stunt was a hoax.White House press secretary Mike McCurry got into the act when he remarked that the government would also be "selling the Lincoln Memorial to Ford Motor Company and renaming it the Lincoln-Mercury Memorial".Crop CirclesStrange, circular formations began to appear in the fields of southern England in the mid-1970s, bringing busloads of curious onlookers, media representatives, and believers in the paranormal out to the countryside for a look.A sometimes vitriolic(讽刺的)debate on their origins has since ensued(跟着发生), and the curious formations have spread around the world, becoming more and more elaborate as the years go by.Some people consider the crop formations to be the greatest works of modern art to emerge from the 20th century, while others are convinced they are signs of extraterrestrial communications or landing sites of UFOs.The debate rages even today, although in 1991 Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, two elderly men from Wiltshire County, came forward and claimed responsibility for the crop circles that appeared there over the preceding 20 years. The pair made the circles by pushing down nearly ripe crops with a wooden plank suspended from a rope.Moon Landing—a Hoax?Ever since NASA sent astronauts to the moon between 1969 and 1972, skeptics have questioned whether the Apollo missions were real or simply a ploy to one-up(领先)the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The debate resurfaced and reached crescendo levels in February 2001, when For television aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?Guests on the show argued that NASA did not have the technology to land on the moon. Anxious to win the space race, NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios, they said. The conspiracy theorists pointed out that the pictures transmitted from the moon do not include stars and that the flag the Americans planted on the moon is waving, even though there is though to be no breeze on the moon.NASA quickly refuted these claims in a series of press releases, stating that any photographer would know it is difficult to capture something very bright and very dim on the same piece of film. Since the photographers wanted to capture the astronauts striding across the lunar surface in their sunlit space suits, the background stars were too faint to see.As for the flag, NASA said that the astronauts were turning it back and forth to get in firmly planted in the lunar soil, which made it wave.1. Some people have the age-old desire to put the joke on others.2. According to the passage, the only form of Internet hoaxes is e-mail hoax.3. Dihydrogen monoxide is a very dangerous chemical, which is often used as an industrial solvent.4. Dihydrogen monoxide can accelerate corrosion and rusting, and cause sever burns andeven death from inhalation.5. The reason why the ersatz news that Alabama changed the value of Pi spread wildly was that ________ forwarded the article to friends and posted it on other newsgroups.6. Traditional media outlets such as ________ may still hoax their audiences nowadays.7. According to Boese, many people believed the report of Swiss spaghetti harvest because the British did not know ________.8. According to a hoax announcement, the Taco Bell Corporation bough the Liberty Bell and moved it to Irvine to help ________.9. The crop circles were thought to be the greatest works of modern art, the signs of ________ or landing sites of UFOs.10. Some people thought that NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios partially because the pictures transmitted from the moon do not include ________.Part III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Wild ducks and other migratory(迁移的) birds could be important carriers of deadly bird flu, researchers say. Even so, the infectious-disease experts say there is no solid basis for killing wild birds to protect poultry and minimize the risk of human infection.The European team investigating the global spread of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza(禽流感)says certain duck species may be infecting wild bird populations. Geese and wading birds are also possible vectors(带菌者)of the virus, the team says.The team's study was led by Björn Olsen of Umea University in Sweden. Olsen runs Europe's largest wild-bird flu monitoring program.Studies have shown that influenza viruses in lake water, generally passed via bird feces(粪), can stay infectious for up to 30 days. The migration or feeding behavior of dabbling ducks could at least partially explain the spread of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, the researchers add.This group of duck species includes mallards, teal, pintails, and others that feed at or near the surface, where viruses in water are most likely to be picked up. Perhaps as a result, dabblers have the highest known rates of avian influenza infection, the study says. For instance, nearly 13 percent of mallards tested positive for bird flu. Other species tested include the American black duck (18.1 percent), blue-winged teal (11.5 percent), and northern pintail (11.2 percent).However, bird flu viruses appear to exist in ducks in a low-pathogenic form, meaning infection doesn't usually lead to severe illness and death."Dabbling ducks are for sure the prime hosts for low pathogenic viruses," said study co-author Ron Fouchier, a virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands. "But the big question is, how much of our knowledge about these viruses can we translate to high-pathogenic viruses such as the H5N1 strain of bird flu?"In poultry avian viruses can mutate(变异)into more virulent influenza strains, including H5N1. If this mutated virus then finds its way back into wild populations, the birds could then spread the disease through migration.Some scientists have argued that wild birds infected with HN51 would be too ill to migrate. Swans, for instance, appear to be particularly vulnerable to the strain. "Swans apparently drop dead quite easily, but they are unlikely to be the vector because they are not going to fly very far if they are dead," Fouchier said.But the study team says that some birds that have been purposely infected for the sake of research show that wild birds can survive H5N1. "For some reason H5N1 has adapted so it no longer kills dabbling ducks," Fouchier said. This means the ducks may be able to spread the virus over a wide area.The study team says migratory geese may also be vectors, because they often graze in huge flocks, a practice that could encourage transmission.Migrating ducks, the researchers add, "could provide an intercontinental bridge" for bird flu to North America, which has not yet had any known cases of H5N1.47. According to the author, what may be the possible carriers of bird flu?48. The main sources of influenza viruses in lake water are ________, which may stay infectious for up to 30 days.49. By saying "bird flu viruses appear to exist in ducks in a low-pathogenic form" (Para. 6), the author suggests that infection ________.50. On what condition can the birds spread the influenza through migration?51. According to the study team, ________ is a practice that can encourage transmission of the bird flu.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human inter-living, long enough to set back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.V oices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets on the issue of nuclear energy. "Give it back," say some of the voices, "It doesn't really work, we've tried it and it doesn't work. Go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man."The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance of nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, and matters of absolute certainty-Newtonian mechanics, for example-have slipped through our fingers; and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, and ambiguities. Some of the laws of physics are amended every few years; some are canceled outright; some undergo revised versionsof legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear: the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today's imagining.It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.52. What CANNOT be inferred from the first paragraph?[A] Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.[B] For three hundred years there have been people holding a hostile attitude toward science.[C] Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously.[D] Some people think three hundred years is not long enough to set back for critical appraisal of scientific method.53. The principle discovery in this century shows ________.[A] man has overthrown Newton's laws of physics[B] man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzles[C] man has lost many scientific discoveries[D] man has given up some of the once accepted theories54. Now scientists have found in the past few years ________.[A] the exposure of DNA to the public is unnecessary[B] the tiny cell in DNA is a neat little machine[C] man knows nothing about DNA[D] man has much to learn about DNA55. The writer's main purpose in writing the passage is to say that ________.[A] science is just at its beginning[B] science has greatly improved man's life[C] science has made profound progress[D] science has done too little to human beings56. The writer's attitude towards science is ________.[A] critical [B] approving [C] neutral [D] regretfulPassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Here amid the steel and concrete canyons, green grass grows. A hawthorn tree(山楂树) stands in new soil, and freshly dug plants bend in the wind.But Chicago City Hall here seems an unlikely spot for a garden of any variety—especially 20,000 square feet of gardens—on its roof.As one of a handful of similar projects around the country, the garden is part of a $1.5 million demonstration projected by the city to reduce its "urban heat islands", said William Abolt, thecommissioner of the Department of Environment.Heat islands-dark surfaces in the city, like rooftops-soak up heat. The retention can bake a building, making it stubborn to cooling.The roof of City Hall, a 90-year-old gray stone landmark on LaSalle Street in the heart of downtown, has been known to reach temperature substantially hotter than the actual temperature on the street below.The garden will provide greenery and shade. "And that," said the city officials, "will save the city dollars on those blistering summer days." The project savings from cooling is about $4,000 a year on a new roof whose life span is about 50 percent longer than that of a traditional roof.The sprawling open-air rooftop garden is being carefully built on a multi-tiered bed of special soil, polystyrene, egg-carton-shaped cones and "waterproof membrane" mall to keep the roof from leaking, or caving under the normal combined weight of soil, rain and plant life.The design calls for soil depths of 4 inches to 18 inches. When the last plants and seedlings are buried and the last bit of compost is laid, the garden will have circular brick stepping-stones winding up to hills."The primary focus of what we want to do was to establish this laboratory on the top of City Hall to get people involved and understanding their impact on the environment and how the little things can make an impact on the quality of life", Mr. Abolt said, adding that the plants also help to clear the air.Rooftop gardens, in places where concrete jungles have erased plants and trees, are not new, not even in Chicago. Arms of greenery dangling over terraces or sprouting from rooftops, common in Europe, are becoming more so in the United States as people become increasingly conscious about the environment.Richard M. Daley, who urged the environmental department to look into the project after noticing rooftop gardens in Hamburg, Germany a few years ago, has praised the garden as the first of its kind on a public building in the country.It will hold thousands of plants in more than 150 species-wild onion and butterfly weed, sky-blue aster and buffalo grass-to provide data on what species adapt best. Small plants requiring shallow soil depths were chiefly selected.57. The rooftop garden project ________.[A] is common and popular in the country[B] is a demonstration project and costs the city government 1.5 million dollars[C] will make the ordinary cooling down of the city in summer unnecessary[D] aims at getting people involved and understanding their impact on the environment58. What can we learn about the City Hall?[A] It was built ninety years ago and is the most outstanding feature in the center of the city.[B] It is originally proper to build a garden on the top of the City Hall.[C] The temperature on its top is a little bit lower than that on the street below.[D] It is the first building in America to have a garden on it.59. Which of the following statements is TRUE?[A] Every year, Chicago spends about $ 4,000 on cooling the city.[B] The design of the garden on the City Hall specially takes into consideration the weight the roof can stand.[C] The Mayor urged the environmental department to look into rooftop gardens in Hamburg。

大学六级模拟16Part Ⅰ WritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay, entitled Playing Truant. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 现有大学里逃课现象很严重2.你认为产生这种现象的原因是什么3. 怎么才能杜绝这一现象Playing Truant__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________这道题您没有回答答案:[范文]Playing TruantThe current decade has witnessed the prevalence of playing truant on campus. Specifically, it is not surprising to see some schoolboys playing computer games in internet-caféduring class time. Apart from that, it is not uncommon that schoolgirls go shopping regardless of their courses. Clearly, this issue is pressing for our serious consideration.The reasons for skipping class are various, such as the colorful activities of campus, forgetting the time, playing computer games, sleeping and so on. But the chief one, in my viewpoint, is that we think college life is to play and enjoy instead of learning. After three years of hard work in senior high school, many students assume that they can finally relax in college and do not need to study hard any more. Thus they don't take college courses seriously and play truant very frequently.It is no doubt that playing truant is bad for college students. There is an urgent need to stop this kind of phenomenon. On one hand, the school, both the administrators and teachers should prevent students from playing truant. On the other hand, more importantly, we college students should realize its bad effects and start from ourselves to stop playing truant on campus.[解析]本次写作试题要求对“大学逃课现象”展开分析讨论。

文都英语六级：2010年12月大学英语六级全真预测试题二答案解析

⽂都英语六级：2010年12⽉⼤学英语六级全真预测试题⼆答案解析Part I Writing 【话题分析】⼤学⽣消费是⽬前家长及教育界⽐较关注的问题，它所反应的不仅仅是花钱这⼀表⾯现象，⽽是隐藏在这⼀现象之后的⼤学⽣的价值观、⾦钱观等思想层⾯的问题。

【范⽂解析】 Nowadays the campus students seem to have no idea of how money comes from, and not to care about their expenditure. They buy whatever they like for themselves, also for their friends, paying no attention to how much these things cost。

Some people say that it is not a problem for college students to spend much. After all, the society is progressing and the life is being enriched. With the living standard being raised, it is reasonable to improve the expenditure of students. There is nothing to blame。

For me, it is not just a habit of spending more money; it is a reflection of students' outlook on money and value. The students get money from their parents so easily that they have no idea of earning money with their hard work and effort, thus developing an awareness that they want to get things but are unwilling to work hard for their goal. Definitely, that is harmful. The campus students can improve their lives, but with the money earned by themselves。

2010年12月英语六级翻译预测模拟试题2010年12月英语六级翻译模拟训练(七)1.The number of the students in this city has _____ (增加了6倍) in comparison with 2001.2. _____ (有些大一新生打定主意) to pursue a master’s degree after undergraduate studies.3. _____ (不管任务多么艰巨), we must fulfill it in time.4.He had understood nothing, _____ (也没尝试着去) understand.5. _____ (随着时间的流逝), they forgot their bitter sufferings.参考答案:1. increased 6 times2. Some freshmen make up their minds3. No matter how hard the task is However hard the task is No matter how hard the task may be However hard the task may be4.nor did he try to5.With the passage of time2010年12月英语六级翻译模拟训练(九)1.The club __________ （采用一套新的制度）concerning its membership.2.My parents are ________ （不同意）our picnic plan.3.The swimmer caught in the whirlpool__________ （挣扎着避免溺水 . ）4.The carpet was __________ （固定在地板上）with tacks.5. （ 2 天了都没有走出沙漠，又没有水喝）__________he was unquenchable. 参考答案及解析:1.dopted a new set of rules对“采用”英语表述的考察，明显这里应该使用adopt （vt. 采用, 收养）；注意：adopt 与adapt （vt. 使适应, 改编）的区别！2.averse to对于“不同意”的表述十分多，有简单的：against ；复杂的：averse to ；由于前面是be 动词，很多沪友用动词ing 形式表示－父母正在不同意我们的计划？我认为这里是叙述一个事实，不应该用动词3.struggled to keep from drowning struggle/avoid/drowning 大家都能比较好地运用起来，这里存在一个时态问题，struggle 的时态应该由caught in the whirlpool 推导出来是过去式，所以不应该用is struggling4. fastened to the floor这题错误较高，大家大部分使用了fix 来表示固定，但fix 表示“固定”的搭配应该是fix to （或使用fasten to ）大家可能见到后面是floor 就一味地想到使用on ，结果答案就变成了fixed on the floor5. Having been in the desert without water for two days这题是难度相对比较大的。

其实是一种意译，“两天都没有走出沙漠，没有水”要注意时态、否定式、还有一个累赘的状语，如何安排句子？但是如果换个角度来表达－两天都在沙漠里面没有水，既能表现原句的意思，表达起来又自然，何乐而不为呢？2010年12月英语六级翻译模拟训练(十一)1.That theory must go hand in hand with practice is a principle_______（这是我们应当牢记的一条原则)）2. ________ （除了以身作则）, there ’ s no better way to teach children.3. The more things a man is ashamed of, ________ （他就越受人尊敬） .4.True wisdom consists not only in seeing what is before your eyes,________ （而且在于预见将来的事情） .5.Not until people can completely trust you ________ （你才能对他们产生积极的影响） .参考答案及解析:1.we should always keep in mind “牢记”－keep in mind/learn byheart/remember firmly等等，注意是“应当”，使用should而非must，一个简单的单词会改变原意哦！2. Apart from setting a good example这题很多人空下来了，我相信当他们看到答案的时候，应该会有种恍然大悟的感觉吧？其实空下来是最失策的做法，倘若你使用意译，反而能拿点分。

首先来看“ 除了”－besides、except、apart from是考生最常用的，而在这里使用apart from最合适。

besides用做除了以外=except for如:What has he done, besides reading the paper? 除了看报,他还做了什么?不过这个词更常见是用做副词如:Besides, I want you to promise me one thing.此外,我要你答应我一件事。

except与except for有时可以通用，不过，一般情况下，except for可置于句首，而except则不能。

以身作则：set oneself an example to others3. the more respectable he is主要考察the more…the more句型。

而后基本上大家都能用respect的各种形式来表述了。

4. but also in foreseeing what is to come含有句型not only…but also,然后是对称问题，前面是consisits in seeing后面肯定是in doing sth.再者是“预见”－foresee和predict经常可以互换，这样的题目注意踩点翻译，才是拿分的硬道理。

5.will you be able to positively influence them 又见not until置句首，毫不犹豫就要用倒装了！Not until引出主从复合句，主句倒装，从句不倒装。

那么谓语是什么呢？应该是will，句子意思是“当……才能”，那么就是当主句提的条件成熟后才会发生的事情，应该用将来时。

搞清谓语，我们就要将谓语前置（因为是半倒装），另外一个点就是“对他们产生积极影响”可以是have a positive effect/influence on them,注意这里一定是搭配on。

另外，impact一样是固定搭配on的，have an impact on.2010年12月英语六级翻译模拟训练(十三)1. People _______________（往往会发胖）after giving up cigarettes because they turn to snacks as a substitute.2. The frightened child _______________（紧紧抓住母亲的手臂）.3. If we want to ________________（提前一个月完成这项工程的话），we have to hurry with it.4. When he succeeded in finishing his design，the technician_______________（似乎忘乎所以了）.5. He is the sort of person ________________（你永远琢磨不透他讲的话）. 答案解析：1. tend to put on weight解析：本句意为：很多人在戒烟后往往会发胖，因为他们会吃零食取而代之。

"往往会发胖"表示一种趋势、发展方向，英文里要用tend这个词。

有关用法是：tend to do（取向于做某事）；have the tendency to do（有做某事的趋势）。

"发胖"即put on weight 或gain flesh.注意，overweight这个词往往带有贬义色彩，指重量超过正常、必要或被允许的限度的，要慎用。

2. grips his mother’s arm解析：在英语里，grip表示"紧紧抓住某人"，已经包含了"紧紧地"含义，因此不需要译成grip one’s arm tightly，但是可以说catch one’s arm tightly，考生一定要注意英汉表达差异。

grip也可以引申为"吸引住（注意力、兴趣等）"，如：The story gripped our attention.（这个故事吸引了我们的注意力。

）3. complete the project a month ahead of time解析：我们知道，if条件句通常表示假设情况，要用虚拟语气。

但是，如果if条件句里的假设状况在现实中有可能会实现的话，提出的假设并不与现在、过去或将来事实想违背，那么，就不需要遵循虚拟语气原则，if条件句用一般时态即可。

本题还考查了"提前某段时间"的英文表达"时间＋ahead of time"。

4. seemed to let himself go解析：本题考查习语"忘乎所以"的英译。

Let oneself go表示尽情或尽兴、情不自禁、忘乎所以。

如：Now that you come for dancing，you should let yourselves go.（既然你们来跳舞，就应该玩得尽兴。

）5. whose words you never can make out解析：本句要从全句含义来把握。

这句话实际是说：他是你永远琢磨不透他所讲的话的那种人。

句子需填入部分是对先行词the sort of person的修饰。
