How can it be just okay when last week you were thrilled about the place and kept posting photos of it online?W: (1) Well, last week when I moved in, the apartment seemed cozy, just the right size for one person. But now it just seems tiny, shabby and solitary.M: Ah, that’s the problem. You miss your roommates from university, don’t you?W:(2) I’m going to sound like an idiot, because I used to complain to you all the time about how crowded our dormitory room was, and about all the things they did to irritate me, like watching movies late at night without headphones, or talking loudly early in the morning. But now I miss them terribly. M: Of course, you do. That’s perfectly normal. (3) When I got my first place, I remember thinking I couldn’t wait to live by myself and get away from my juvenile roommates and all their annoying habits. But then I began missing them and feeling lonely and thinking that our dormitory was like paradise. Even though there were six of us guys in one small room.W: I thought it was just me who felt like that.M:Look, you lived at home with us, and then you had three roommates, and this is your first time living alone, so it’s hard. But your first apartment is a milestone in your life. And you should celebrate it. Tell me about the apartment.W: Actually, it’s not bad. In fact, it’s pretty adorable now that I have decorated it and it has everything I need. I have a kitchen to cook in and a bathroom all to myself, and then another room with my bed at one end and a sofa, a small table and chairs at the other end.M: That does sound adorable, and (4) I can’t wait to see it. And neither can mom and dad.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1. What was the woman’s first impression of the apartment? 答案: B)Q2. Why does the woman say she’s going to sound like an idiot? 答案: B)Q3. What do we learn about the man when he left the dormitory to live on his own? 答案: C)Q4. What does the man say he can’t wait to do? 答案: A)Conversation TwoW: Welcome to our program book talk. (5) Our guest today is Frank Jones, a critic of our education system and the author of a new book, How to Reform Our Universities.M: Hello, Susan.W: Frank, you support radically changing universities in America.M:Yes. (6) I believe that the purpose of higher education is to prepare young people to enter the workforce and that our current system fails to do this. We’re allocating too many resources to disciplines that don’t match the needs of employers.W:I think your attitude to education is a bit cynical, Frank. Surely the purpose of university is to prepare young people to participate fully in civic life rather than just to find well paid jobs.M: Susan, many young graduates struggle to find any job, let alone a good one. The job market is grim, particularly for students who study the arts.W:I agree that it isn’t easy for young people to find work, but you propose closing down all departments that aren’t directly related to science and technology. Is that really the solution?M: You’re overstating my point. (7) My argument is that we need to use more of our budget on areas like science and engineering. To do that, we need to take money from subjects like literature and music.W: (8) But the arts have value. They’re an important part of our culture. Studying literature or music or sculpture might not result in a job in that area, but it helps young people to think about the world in a deeper way, which makes them better citizens and makes for a better society.M: l agree that the arts are valuable to society, but it’s naive to think that not only the most talented, but all students should study them at university level. The odds are very competitive, and most graduates will end up with a great deal of debt obtaining a degree that has little value on the job market. Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5. What do we learn from the conversation about the man? 答案: D)Q6. What does the man believe is the problem with the current American system of higher education? 答案: C)Q7. How should the education budget be allocated according to the man? 答案: A)Q8. What does the woman say the arts can do? 答案: D)Passage One(9) Do you ever have the annoying feeling that you don’t have time to really think anymore? You’re not alone. A variety of factors have conspired to rob us of time for reflection about ourselves and our lives. Today our preoccupied minds are rarely silent. The average person receives hundreds of texts and voice messages a day. And holidays for many of us are action packed weeks more likely full of family activities than opportunities for tranquility and contemplation.(10) Regular reflection, however, underlies all great professionals. It’s a prerequisite for you to recharge your mental batteries, see things in a new light and tap into your creativity. Almost all of the great advisors that I have studied have found ways to get away from it all and contemplate their life and work. Some researchers in the field of creativity, in fact, believe that insight occurs during the reflection and relaxation that follows a period of intense activity. Schedule your time for reflection about your work, or a particular project you’re engaged in.I usually block out half an hour. Don’t answer the phone. Push your papers to the side. Sketch, make lists, draw mind maps of ideas that come to you. At the end, write down any emerging ideas.When you’re alone, stop worrying and think. A lot of our downtime is spent worrying about troublesome things in our lives or fantasizing about how we’d like our lives to be. (11) Revisit things during moments of relaxation after a period of intense work. This is when we are the most creative. Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q9. What do we learn about the feeling that one doesn’t have time to think anymore? 答案: A)Q10. What trait do all great professionals share? 答案: B)Q11. What do some researchers believe is conducive to creative ideas? 答案: D)Passage Two(12) Even before Colorado was a state, it had post offices. The first opened in 1859 in a settlement founded by migrants searching for gold. Life could be unpredictable out west. Gold failed to appear，drought ruined farmers, and settlers clashed with Native Americans.On the settlement’s location, now stands a sprawling university campus. Amid all the changes, one feature remained constant: the postal service. The maps tracing America’s westward expansion are telling. In 1864 there were few postal branches on land controlled by Native Americans, which still accounted for most of the West. Over the next 25 years, post offices grew quickly. Colonization of the West could be regarded as a result of big government rather than pioneers. (13) As federal subsidies and land grants tempted people into the deserts and plains, the post kept them connected.In the mid-19th century, the Post Office Department was far from a centralized bureaucracy. To keep up with migration patterns, postal services were added to existing businesses. (14) The federal government commissioned private wagons to carry the mail. Short-term contracts were granted to local businessmen to act as postmasters. These partnerships enabled the mail to quickly follow migrants, helping knit together remote parts of the country.Mr. Blevins, a digital historian, wrote a book on the history of the US postal service. (15) He used data science to analyze historical trends. Most strikingly, he built an accompanying website complete with interactive maps. They show readers how, within a generation, the postal service helped colonize a continent. These online interactive maps illustrate the formative power of snail mail.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q12. What does the passage say about Colorado before it became a state? 答案: C)Q13. How did the postal service contribute to America’s westward expansion? 答案: D)Q14. What did the federal government do to meet the increasing demand for the postal service in the West? 答案: B)Q15. What did Mr. Blevins do to study the history of the US postal service? 答案: C)Recording OneIn last week’s lecture, we discussed reasons why people forget things. This week, we will discuss a surprising reason why we might remember some things: anxiety. Think about something as simple as buying a coffee. That may not seem like an experience that would make a deep impression on your memory. But anxiety could change that. (16) In fact, a new study suggests that people with higher anxiety levels might remember certain information better than people with lower anxiety levels. That’s because higher levels of anxiety may make people more susceptible to negative feelings. Putting them in a more negative state of mind, that in turn, may make them able to better remember some events. Let’s take a closer look at that new study now. (17) In the study, the researchers started by giving 80 undergraduate students an anxiety test. The test measured the participants’anxiety levels over the proceeding two weeks.Then, to test memory, the participants were shown a series of neutral words one at a time. Some of the words were printed onto photos of negative scenes, meaning images that could affect their emotions negatively, such as a photo of a car accident, or a cemetery. The rest of the words were printed onto photos of neutral scenes, such as a photo of a lake or trees. Neutral words included words like table or desk that don’t elicit emotion.Later, the participants were asked to think back to the words they were shown earlier, which caused them to reenter either a negative or neutral mindset. The participants were then presented with another set of neutral words, and their memory of these new words was tested.The researchers found that the new words presented to people in a negative mindset were better remembered by people with higher levels of anxiety than those with lower levels of anxiety.In other words, when highly anxious individuals took in otherwise emotionally neutral information that was presented to them, it became colored by their negative mindset, making them remember the information better. But these same effects were not seen in people with low levels of anxiety.(18) Previous studies have found that extreme levels of anxiety such as those experienced by people diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can be quite detrimental to memory and cognitive performance. But the highly anxious people in this study represent individuals who are managing their anxiety and for whom anxiety is not a serious problem.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q16. What does the speaker say the new study suggests? 答案: A)Q17. What did researchers do first in the new study? 答案: C)Q18. What do we learn from previous studies about anxiety? 答案: B)Recording TwoOver the past 20 years, the internet has gradually become a dominant feature of our lives. It has changed how we communicate with each other. And it has definitely transformed the way we do business with each other. Marketing has also changed in a number of ways.For instance, in the past, consumers had to call a phone number and patiently wait on hold in order to get the information they wanted. (19) Today, they want the information immediately. They’ll go to the company’s social media page and post comments and questions, expecting to receive an immediate response. If they don’t get their questions answered soon, they’ll move on to another company that will answer them quickly.Marketing departments today need to follow technological development. For example, this year’s smartphone is smarter than last year’s; self-driving cars are now on the road. Marketers have to do research on which technologies are coming into being. Otherwise, they risk being left behind in the virtual dust.Marketing has also changed due to the importance of video. People don’t just want to read text; they want to watch things happening. Companies now have to explore how they can use video on a consistent basis to share information about their businesses. Fortunately, it’s extremely easy to shoot something these days. All you need is a smartphone.But what’s the result of all this? Shorter attention spans. We are n’t the same people that we were 20 years ago. Not only have we grown accustomed to getting the information we want instantaneously, our attention spans are much shorter. If something doesn’t capture our attention within a few seconds, we’re on to the next piece of content. (20) Marketers need to figure out ways to speak directly to the customer’s emotions, and they need to figure out how to do that as quickly as possible. Once people are emotionally engaged, they’ll stick with you.If marketing has changed this much in the past 20 years, imagine what the next 20 years will bring. In a recent survey, only nine percent of marketers could say with confidence that their marketing efforts were actually working. Their confidence is being shaken because the rules of the game change every year. That’s why (21) it’s important for marketers to pay attention to the latest technologicaldevelopments and consider collaborating with technological innovators. That way, they’ll be moving at the same pace as the tech industry.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q19. What does the speaker say about today’s consumers? 答案: D)Q20. How do marketers capture consumers’ attention as quickly as possible? 答案: C)Q21. What does the speaker suggest marketers do to meet future challenges? 答案: B)Recording ThreeYou might be surprised to learn that (22) the benefits of friendships extend beyond people’s social life and into their work, which is interesting when considering the extent to which people sacrifice friendships, or at least the time they spend with friends because of the extended hours they’re devoting to work. Just last week, I was remarking to a colleague that I’m content with only one social engagement per week. But according to recent research, that’s evidently not enough.(23) In an initial study of more than 700 respondents, scholars from an American university analyzed the impact that friends, as opposed to family, have on self-esteem and well-being. Friends came out substantially on top. That’s because to be someone’s mate is a voluntary act, unlike family who people rarely get to choose. The researchers found that when people choose to cultivate and maintain supportive friendships with an individual, it means that the person is valued and worthy of their limited time. Such sentiments of value and worthiness boost our self-esteem.The second study comprised more than 300 participants. It proved that the better we feel about ourselves, the more likely we will perform our job confidently and competently. (24) This follow-up study found that non-work friends even improved people’s job satisfaction. They have as much of an impact on how much they love their jobs, as do the friends they have at work, despite not actually being at our place of work. These types of friends tend to be our preferred outlet for venting about work-related matters. This is an avenue that may not be available at the office.So even though friendships can be easy to neglect when confronted by pressures at work, or even pressures at home, neglecting our friends can turn out to be harmful and counterproductive. That’s why when determining how to create a better work life balance, we need to consider not only how to balance work and family demands, but also how to cultivate and sustain supportive friendships. It’s for this reason that (25) managers should never discriminate when it comes to requests from employees for flexible work arrangements. It’s irrelevant whether their need for a desired schedule is due to, say, parenting responsibilities, or a craving to hang out with their best mate. What matters is the opportunity to engage in a nourishing activity outside of work. That will definitely have a follow-on effect at work. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q22. What does the speaker say is interesting? 答案: D)Q23. What did researchers from an American university analyze in their initial study? 答案: A)Q24. What did the second study find about non-work friends? 答案: D)Q25.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark thecorresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the. centre. You maynot use any of the words in the bank more than once.The tree people in the Lord of the Rings— the Ents — can get around by walking. But for real trees, it’s harder to uproot. Because they're literally rooted into the ground, they are unable to leave and go 26.When a tree first starts growing in a certain area, it’s likely that the 27 envelope — the temperature, humidity, rainfall patterns and so on — suits it. Otherwise, it would be unable to grow from a seedling. But as it 28 ，these conditions may change and the area around itmay no longer be suitable for its 29 .When that happens, many trees like walnuts, oaks and pines, rely 30 on so-called “scatter hoarders，’’ such as birds, to move their seeds to new localities. Many birds like to store food for the winter, which they 31 retrieve.When the birds forget td retrieve their food — and they do sometimes — a seedling has a chance to grow. The bird Clark’s nutcracker, for example, hides up to 100,000 seeds per year, up to 30 kilometers away from the seed source, and has a very close symbiotic(共生的)relationship with several pine species, most 32 the whitebark pine.As trees outgrow their ideal 33 in the face of climate change，these flying ecosystem engineers could be a big help in 34 trees. It’s a solution for us — getting birds to do the work is cheap and effective —and it could give 35 oaks and pines the option to truly “make like a tree and leave.”"vSection BDirections：In this section，you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a Letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 •The American Workplace Is Broken. Here’s How We Can Start Fixing It.A)Americans are working longer and harder hours than ever before. 83% of workers say they're stressedabout their jobs, nearly 50% say work-related stress is interfering with their sleep, and 60% use their smartphones to check in with work outside of normal working hours； No wonder only 13% of employees worldwide feel engaged in their occupation.B)Glimmers(少许)of hope, however, are beginning to emerge in this bruising environment: Americansare becoming aware of the toll their jobs take on them, and employers are exploring ways to alleviate the harmful effects of stress and overwork. Yet much more work remains to be done. To call str ess an epidemic isn’t exaggeration. The 83% of American employees who are stressed about their jobs — up from 73% just a year before — say that poor compensation and an unreasonable workload are their number-one sources of stress. And if you suspected that the workplace had gotten more stressful than it was just a few decades ago, you're right. Stress levels increased 18% for women and 24% for men from 1983 to 2009. Stress is also starting earlier in life, with some data suggesting that today's teens are even more stressed than ^dults.C)Stress is taking a significant toll on our health, and the collective public health cost may be enormous.Occupational stress increases the risk of heart attack and diabetes, accelerates the aging process, decreases longevity, and contributes to depression and anxiety, among numerous other negative health outcomes. Overall, stress-related health problems account for up to 90% of hospital visits, many of them preventable. Your job is “literally killing you，” as The Washington Post put it. It’s also hurting our relationships. Working parents say they feel stressed, tired, rushed and short on quality time with their children, friends and partners.D)Seven in 10 workers say they struggle to maintain work-life balance. As technology (and with it,work emails) seeps(渗入)into every aspect of our lives, work-life balance has become an almost meaningless term. Add a rapidly changing economy and an uncertain future to this 24/7 connectivity, and you’ve got a recipe for overwork, according to Phyllis Moen. “There’s rising work demand coupled with the insecurity of mergers, takeovers, downsizing and other factors，’’ Moen said.“Part of the work-life issue has to talk about uncertainty about the future.”E） These factors have converged to create an increasingly impossible situation with many employeesoverworking to the point of burnout. It’s not only unsustainable for workers, but also for the companies that employ them. Science has shown a clear correlation between high stress levels in workers and absenteeism（旷工），reduced productivity, disengagement and high turnover. Too many workplace policies effectively prohibit employees from developing a healthy work-life balance by barring them from taking time off，even when they need it most.F）T he U. S. trails far behind every wealthy nation and many developing ones that have family- friendly work policies including paid parental leave, paid sick days and breast-feeding support,according toa 2007 study. The U. S. is also the only advanced economy that does not guarantee workers paidvacation time, and it’s one of only two countries in the world that does not offer guaranteed paid maternity leave. But even when employees are given paid time off, workplace norms and expectations that pressure them to overwork often prevent them from taking it. Fulltime employees who do have paid vacation days only use half of them on average.G） Our modern workplaces also operate based on outdated time constraints. The practice of clocking in for an eight-hour workday is a leftover from the days of the Industrial Revolution, as reflected in the then-popular saying, “Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest.”H）W e’ve held on to this workday structure — but thanks to our digital devices, many employees never really clock out. Today, the average American spends 8.8 hours at work daily, and the majority of working professionals spend additional hours checking in with work during evenings, weekends and even vacations. The problem isn’t the technolog y itself, but that the technology is being used to create more flexibility for the employer rather than the employee. In a competitive work environment, employers are able to use technology to demand more from their employees rather than motivating workers with flexibility that benefits them.I）In a study published last year, psychologists coined the term “workplace telepressure M to describe an employee’s urge to immediately respond to emails and engage in obsessive thoughts about returning an email to one’s boss, colleagues or clients. The researchers found that telepressure is a major cause of stress at work, which over time contributes to physical and mental burnout. Of the 300 employees participating in the study, those who experienced high levels of telepressure were more likely to agree with statements assessing burnout, like “I’ve no energy for going to work in the morning，’’ and to report feeling fatigued and unfocused. Telepressure was also correlated with sleeping poorly and missing work.J) Harvard Business School professor Leslie Perlow explains that when people feel the pressure to be always “on,” they find ways to acco mmodate that pressure, including altering their schedules, work habits and interactions with family and friends. Perlow calls this vicious cycle the “cycle of responsiveness”：Once bosses and colleagues experience an employee’s increased responsiveness, th ey increase their demands on the employee’s time. And because a failure to accept these increased demands indicates a lack of commitment to one’s work，the employee complies.K) To address skyrocketing employee stress levels, many companies have implemente d workplace wellness programs, partnering with health care providers that have created programs to promoteemployee health and well-being. Some research does suggest that these programs hold promise. A study of employees at health insurance provider Aetna revealed that roughly one quarter of those taking in-office yoga and mindfulness classes reported a 28% reduction in their stress levels and a 20% improvement in sleep quality. These less-stressed workers gained an average of 62 minutes per week of productivity. While yoga and meditation (静思)are scientifically proven to reduce stress levels, these programs do little to target the root causes of burnout and disengagement. The conditions creating the stress are long hours, unrealistic demands and deadlines, a nd work-life conflict.L)Moen and her colleagues may have found the solution. In a 2011 study, she investigated the effects of implementing a Results Only Work Environment (ROWE) on the productivity and well-being of employees at Best Buy's corporate headquarters.M) For the study, 325 employees spent six months taking part in ROWE, while a control group of 334 employees continued with their normal workflow. The ROWE participants were allowed to freely determine when, where and how they worked — the only thing that mattered was that they got the job done. The results were striking. After six months, the employees who participated in ROWE reported reduced work-family conflict and a better sense of control of their time, and they were getting a full hour of extra sleep each night. The employees were less likely to leave their jobs, resulting in reduced turnover. It’s important to note that the increased flexibility didn’t encourage them to work around the clock. “They didn’t work anywhere and all the time — they were better able to manage their work,” Moen said. “Flexibility and control is key，’’ she continued.36.Workplace norms pressure employees to overwork, deterring them from taking paid time off.37.The overwhelming majority of employees attribute their stress mainly to low pay and an excessiveworkload.38.According to Moen, flexibility gives employees better control over their work and time.2016 — 12六级试题(第3套)第7页(共22页)39.Flexibility resulting from the use of digital devices benefits employers instead of employees.40.Research finds that if employees suffer from high stress, they will be less motivated, less productiveand more likely to quit.41.In-office wellness programs may help reduce stress levels, but they are hardly an ultimate solutionto the problem.42.Health problems caused by stress in the workplace result in huge public health expenses.43.If employees respond quickly to their job assignments, the employer is likely to demand more fromthem.44.With technology everywhere in our life, it has become virtually imposs ible for most workers to keepa balance between work and life.45.In America today, even teenagers suffer from stress, and their problem is even more serious thangrown-ups’.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A ) , B ),C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Dr. Donald Sadoway at MIT started his own battery company with the hope of changing the world’s energy future. It’s a dramatic endorsement for a technology most people think about only when their smart phone goes dark. But Sadoway isn’t alone in trumpeting energy storage as a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future.Scientists and engineers have long believed in the promise of batteries to change the world. Advanced batteries are moving out of specialized markets and creeping into the mainstream, signaling a tipping point for forward-looking technolpgies such as electric cars and rooftop solar panels.The ubiquitous (无所不在的)battery has already come a long way, of course. For belter or worse, batteries make possible our mobile-first lifestyles, our screen culture, our increasingly globalized world. Still, as impressive as all this is, it may be trivial compared with what comes next. Having already enabled a communications revolution, the battery is now poised to transform just about everything else.The wireless age is expanding to include not just our phones, tablets, and laptops, but also our cars, homes, and even whole communities. In emerging economies, rural communitie s are bypassing the wires and wooden poles that spread power. Instead, some in Africa and Asia are seeing their first lightbulbs illuminated by the power of sunlight stored in batteries.Today, energy storage is a $ 33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year. By the end of the decade, it’s expected to be worth over $50 billion and generate 160 gigawatt-hours, enough to attract the attention of major companies that might not otherwise be interested in a decidedly pedestrian technology. Even utility companies, which have long viewed batteries and alternative forms of energy as a threat, are learning to embrace the technologies as enabling rather than disrupting.Today's battery breakthroughs come as the world looks to expand modern energy access to the billion or so people without it, while also cutting back on fuels that warm the planet. Those simultaneous challenges appear less overwhelming with increasingly better answers to a centuries-old question： how to make power portable.To be sure, the battery still has a long way to go before the nightly recharge completely repla ces the weekly trip to the gas station. A battery-powered world comes with its own risks, too. What happens to the centralized electric grid, which took decades and billions of dollars to build, as more and more people become “prosumers，” who produce and c onsume their own energy onsite?No one knows which — if any — battery technology will ultimately dominate, but one thing remains dear. The future of energy is in how we store it.46.What does Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage?A)It involves the application of sophisticated technology.B)It is the direction energy development should follow.C)It will prove to be a profitable business.D)It is a technology benefiting everyone.47.What is most likely to happen when advanced batteries become widely used?A)Mobile-first lifestyles will become popular.B)The globalization process will be accelerated.C)Communications will take more diverse forms.D)The world will undergo revolutionary changes.48.In some rural communities of emerging economies, people have begun to _______ •A)find digital devices simply indispensable.B)communicate primarily by mobile phone.C)light their homes with stored solar energy.D)distribute power with wires and wooden poles.49.Utility companies have begun to realize that battery technologies______ .J A) benefit their business. C) promote innovation.B)transmit power faster. D) encourage competition.50.What does the author imply about the centralized electric grid?A)It might become a thing of the past.B)It might turn out to be a “prosumer”.C）It will be easier to operate and maintain.D）It will have to be completely transformed.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.More than 100 years ago, American sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois was concerned that race was being used as a biological explanation for what he understood to be social and cultural differences between different populations of people. He spoke out against the idea of “white” and “black” as distinct groups, claiming that these distinctions ignored the scope of human diversity.Science would favor Du Bois. Today, the mainstream belief among scientists is that race is a social construct without biological meaning. In an article published in the journal Science，four scholars say racial categories need to be phased out.14Essentially, I could not agree more with the authors,” said Svante Paabo, a biologist and director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. In one example that demonstrated genetic differences were not fixed along racial lines, the full genomes（基因组）of James Watson and Craig Venter, two famous American scientists of European ancestry, were compared to that of a Korean scientist, Seong-Jin Kim. It turned out that Watson and Venter shared fewer variations in their genetic sequences than they each shared with Kim.Michael Yudell, a professor of public health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, said that modern genetics research is operating in a paradox： on the one hand, race is understood to be a useful tool to illuminate human genetic diversity, but on the other hand, race is also understood to be a poorly defined marker of that diversity.Assumptions about genetic differences between people of different races could be particularly dangerous in a medical setting. “If you make clinical predictions based on some body’s race, you’re going to be wrong a good chunk of the time,” Yudell told Live Science. In the paper, he and his colleagues used the example of cystic fibrosis, which is underdiagnosed in people of African ancestry because it is thought of as a “white” disease.So what other variables could be used if the racial concept is thrown out? Yudell said scientists need to get more specific with their language, perhaps using terms like “ancestry” or “population” that might more precisely reflect the relationship between humans and their genes, on both the individual and population level. The researchers also acknowledged that there are a few areas where race as a construct might still be useful in scientific research： as a political and social, but not biological, variable.“While we argue phasing out racial terminology（术语）in the biological sciences）we also acknowledge that using race as a political or social category to study racism, although filled with lots of challenges, remains necessary given our need to understand how structural inequities and discrimination produce health disparities（差异）between groups.” Yudell said.51.Du Bo is was opposed to the use of race as ____ .A) a basis for explaining human genetic diversity.B)an aid to understanding different populations.C)an explanation for social and cultural differences.D) a term to describe individual human characteristics.52.The study by Svante Paabo served as an example to show .A)modern genetics research is likely to fuel racial conflicts.B)race is a poorly defined marker of human genetic diversity.C)race as a biological term can explain human genetic diversity.D)genetics research should consider social and cultural variables.53.The example of the disease cystic fibrosis underdiagnosed in people of African ancestrydemonstrates that ____ .A)it is absolutely necessary to put race aside in making diagnosis.B)it is important to include social variables in genetics research.C)racial categories for genetic diversity could lead to wrong clinical predictions.D)discrimination against black people may cause negligence in clinical treatment.54.What is Yudell’s suggestion to scientists?A)They be more precise with the language they use.B)They refrain from using politically sensitive terms.C)They throw out irrelevant concepts in their research.D)They examine all possible variables in their research.55.What can be inferred from Yudell’s remark in the last paragraph?A)Clinging to racism prolongs inequity and discrimination.B)Physiological disparities are quite striking among races.C)Doing away with racial discrimination is challenging.D)Racial terms are still useful in certain fields of study.Part IV Translation （30 minutes）Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2014年12月英语六级考试作文范文：学历求职(1)【真题范文】In the modern society, with competition becomes increasingly fierce, to find a job is too difficult for the young generation. Academic qualification, as a job a stepping-stone, is an essential factor during the job hunting.Some people think that the highly educated must be able to find a good job, because education can prove that a person has a good capacity. Therefore, it is commonly believe that a job seeker with a master degree must be easier to find a promising job than a undergraduate. However, now the company interviewers generally prefer to required a even higher academic qualification, like a doctor degree. Otherwise, the applicants, even though he or she has tremendous potential, will be refused relentlessly.As far as I am concerned, education should not be the single standard in an interview. As for the companies, it is not necessarily a good principle as well. Now the whole community often talk about working ability and efficiency. For example, some people may have high academic qualification, but actually his ability is very limited. So both the individual and the community ought to change their attitude on academic qualification. We should realize that it is the operational capability and service ability which can help you to find a good job.【范文译文】在现代社会，随着竞争越来越激烈，找工作对于年轻人来说异常困难。

2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题答案(第一套)
【作文及范文】Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.参考答案Nowadays, there has been a heated discussion as to a better choice between attending college at home and abroad. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is a better choice to study in domestic colleges, but others consider it better to study abroad. I totally agree with the latter idea for the reasons presented below. To begin with, it harms the society in that the greater the competition is, the higher the recruitment requirements will become. Therefore, with experiences of studying abroad, graduates will become more competitive in job hunting. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the students themselves to study abroad. Without the choice to pursue overseas study, many great scholars today would never have achieved such great success. From my perspective, it is crucial that the government should encourage people to pursue overseas study. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of attending college abroad. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.【听力】1. A) He would feel insulted.2.

New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues (独白) in are actually morelikely to stay on task, remain ___26___ better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to ___27___ mental pictures helps people function quicker.In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty ___28___ and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were ___29___ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips ___30___ . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that ___31___ the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve ___32___ matured is not a great sign of ___33___The two professors hope to refute that idea, ___34___ that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list.

Especially because education is strongly linked to earnings Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum. but not necessarily others[E] "Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children's long-term social, emotional and cognitive development." said Sean F.Reardon. professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University -And because those influence educational success and later earnings. early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow" The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children. which can leave children less prepared for school and work. which leads to lower earnings[F] American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92 percent of parents say they are doing a goodjob at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently Middle-class and higher-income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, a University of Pennsylvania sociologist whose goundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book "Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life " They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.[G] Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play They are taught to be compliant and deferential to adults There are benefits to both approaches Working-class children are happier, more independent, whine less and are closer with family members, Ms Lareau found Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and en route to the middle class, whileworking-class children tend to struggle Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, reau said[H] "Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely," she said "Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt it "[I] Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events Extracurricular activities epitomize the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of l,807 parents Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84 percent say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64 percent have done volunteer work and 62 percent have taken lessons in music, dance or art Of families earning less than $30,000,59 percent of children have done sports, 37 percent have volunteered and 41 percent have taken arts classes[J] Especially in affluent families, children start young Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduateparents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth oflow-income,less-educated parents. Nonetheless, 20 percent of well-off parents say their children's schedules are toohectic, compared with 8 percent of poorer parents.[K] Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school Seventy-one percent of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33 percent of those with a high school diploma or less, Pew found White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8 percent of those with a postgraduate degree say they often spank their children, compared with 22 percent of those with a high school degree or less[L] The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents' attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children's grades as long as they work hard But 50 percent of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39 percent of wealthier parents[M] Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child's education Parents who are white, wealthy or college-educated say too much involvement can be bad Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances High-earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children While bullying is parents: greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents They are more worried about their children being depressed or anxious[N] In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children,participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children's education[O] Children were not always raised so differently The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30 percent t0 40 percent larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr Reardon's research People used to live near people of different income levels;neighborhoods are now more segregated by income More than a quarter of children live insingle-parent households - a historic high, according to Pew - and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents Meanwhile, growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-class wage[P] Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink In the past decade, even as income inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to children and going to libraries, have narrowed36. Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.37.

Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report Science as an Open Enterprise that scientists need to shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as pricate preserve " Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information, and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared digitally in ways that were not possible before To match the growing demand, services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products online and enable other researchers to discover and cite themAlthough exhortations to share data often concentrate on the moral advantages of sharing, the practice is not purely altruistic Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits.including more connections with colleagues,improvedvisibility and increased citations The most successful sharers - those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often - get noticed, and their work gets used For example, one of the most popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world; it has been downloaded 5,700 times. Co-author Amy Zanne, a biologist at George Washington University in Washington DC, thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass, to foresters looking for information on different grades of' timber "I would much prefer to have my data used by the maximum number of people to ask their own questions," she says "It's important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results Publishing data and code allows your science to be reproducible "46 What do many researchers generally accept?A It is imperative to protest scientist' patentsB Repositories are essential to scientitle researchC Open data sharing is most important to medical scienceD.Open data sharing is conducive to scientific advancement47 What is the attitude of most researchers towards making their own data public?A OpposedB AmbiguousC LiberalD Neutral48 According to the passage, what might hinder open data sharing"A The fear of massive copyingB The lack of a research cultureC.The belief that resacrch is private intellectual propertyD.

例题：W: Right, well, in the studio this morning, for our interview spotis Peter Wilson 【人名，重要】. Peter works for Green Peace 【特殊表达，文章主题词】. So, Peter, welcome。
M: Thanks a lot. It's good to be here。
W: Great! Now, Peter, perhaps you can tell us something about GreenPeace and your job there.【寒暄，为了迷惑考生，此处进入正题】M: Sure. Well, I'll start by telling you roughly what Green Peace is all about. I actually work in London for the Green Peace organization(人物职业，22题考点1). We've been going for a fewdecades and we're a non-violent, non-political organization. We're involved in anti-nuclear activity, conservation and protection of animals and protection and support of our eco-system. I'm the action organizer and arrange any protests。

问答关系。
)M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea。
(针对问题harass的具体回答，24题考点3) We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance as possible。

做题的时候一定要和短文一样对题目的出题位置有明确的把握，位置感很重要。
一般而言，对话时，开头的客套以及问候与结尾的道别结束语很少出题，而对话中段往往才是重点。
从重点划线部分我们发现长对话和短文题目做题有着惊人的相似!问答式的考点(一问一答中Question针对问题发问，回答是正确答案考点)，分层次的考察(Top-Down Level)，建议请求的运用。
特别明显的是对话的开头部分一直在纠缠Green Peace如何以及Peter怎么样，所以只考察了一道题目，第二道题目直到对话的中部才出现，因为两个人直到那时才从Green Peace的基本介绍转到Peter的工作和日常事务这个话题上来。
此外，这则对话还秉承了passage的一个重要的考察方式，就是在对话的开头部分一定会出题目。
这一点的考察利用的是考生往往很难在一个段落刚开始的时候集中注意力，所以这时候考察的题目难度就显得很高。
另外，24题的考法是长对话中最典型的一种，就是针对动作行为进行发问，考点在于考生需要听明白人物发出的动作是什么，原文的动词harass和选项的harass是一摸一样，属于最简单的考法，而且原文重复两次，因此考生对此即便是不知道harass是什么意思也能选对。
25题的考法是一贯的长对话结尾题，往往以态度判断和结论作为考察对象，此题选项均为态度词，很容易判断，另外，注意到选项呈现“三负一正”的格局，因此答案是显然的。
