2015年6月大学英语CET-6考试真题及答案详解卷一 (2)
2015年6月大学英语CET-6考试真题及答案详解卷一Writing：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”"Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it."参考范文：In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge acquired every day into reality has intrigued numerous people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”Apparently, this saying aims to deliver the message that if we truly want to master the knowledge we learn, we ought not to stop practicing it.第一段三句话，用核心词引入+带出引言+引言的目的There are several reasons accountable for this statement. To begin with, human being are forgetful beings; therefore, only when we use knowledge, make mistakes, and try to use it again will we be able to remember it by our heart. Moreover, knowledge has become growingly complicated and we can seldom genuinely grasp the essence of it if we do not practice it and ponder it over again and again. For instance, there used to be simple diseases, such as the cold and measles, and a doctor might have the knowledge to treat all the common ones. However, with our living environment becoming ever increasingly harsher, the diseases have evolved into weird, irremediable, and unpredictable ones. Therefore, the medication has been divided into numerous branches, and doctors of each one have to practice for years only in order to cure the diseases belonging to the similar sort.第二段，解释引言。
中心句+两个原因+举例。
举例应用对比法。
Practicing, to sum up, is of greatest importance for those who are determined to learn knowledge well. Not only does it assist people to remember knowledge better, but we are able to catch up with the speed of the evolotion of knowledege. As a student, I hope that the young can focus more attention on practicing what they learn than on remembering it blindly so that the knowledge will become our real treasure and make our life more splendid.第三段，总结该引言的合理+两个理由+展望未来。

But you must admit the market here is limited.M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feel we can compete with the best of them.M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge high prices.W: Exactly.M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off.W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack.

Conversation 2W: What does the term “alternative energy source”mean?M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a much faster rate that it is being produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’ll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?15. What does the man think we should do now?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

2015年6月英语四级真题答案及解析(卷一)
2015年6月大学英语六级考试真题(一)答案与详解Part ⅠWriting审题思路这是一篇四级考试中常见的议论文。
此次通过漫画所呈现出的话题phone (手机）是考生日常生活中熟悉的话题，因此写起来并不难。
考生应该将重点放在第二段阐述手机与日常学习的关系上。
联系实际分析可知二者关系为:手机为日常学习带来了便利条件，但不能完全取代校园学习。
写作提纲一、提出观点：提出观点:手机在学习中虽然重要但并非必不可少(play an important but not indispensable role)二、论证观点：1、学生自身应具有很好的知识储备(have a good command of)2、我们的个人知识（personal knowledge)促进了手机的发展三、总结观点：l、过度依赖手机弊大于利（over-dependence on phones does more harm than good)2、要平衡好手机与知识学习的关系（balance the relationship between phones and study)范文点评全文翻译手机在学习中的作用漫画生动地描述了一个小学生问他的母亲，既然他的手机已经无所不知，为什么还要去上学。
这幅漫画揭示了这样一个现象:一些学生高度依赖手机,而忽视了个人学习的重要性。
然而，我认为，手机在学生们的学习中虽然重要但并非必不可少。
1毫无疑问，手机给我们带来了很多便利，但是在学习过程中，我们不应该过度依赖手机。
首先,我们自身应该具有很好的知识储备以应对没有手机在手边时的各种情况。
其次，正是我们的个人知识促进了手机的发展。
如果没有学校的基础教育，就没有手机的问世。
总而言之，过度依赖手机弊大于利。
因此，我们应该合理地平衡手机与学习的关系。
只有这样我们才能够从学习过程中获得最大的收益。

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read forthe second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you havejust heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check whatyou have written.When most people think of the word “education”, they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casting, the teachers ____26___ stuff “education.”But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not27__ the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the 28 __ of what is in the mind.“The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the29____ Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him.”And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, “I know, learn from me.” He said, rather, “Look into your own selves and find the 30____ of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle （点燃）to a31____.”In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of 32___, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really “knows” geometry—because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.So many of the discussions and 33___about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they34 ___ what should “go into” the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done.The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don’t have a chance to learn anything,” was clearly expressing his 35____ with the sausage casing view of education.Part III Reading Comprehension （40 minutes）Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.Innovation, the elixir（灵丹妙药）of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were 36 aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has 37 many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising 38 . Although innovation kills some jobs, it createsnew and better ones, as a more 39 society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was 40 on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not rendered 41 , but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has 42 , but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its 43 . Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology’s 44 will feel like a tornado （旋风）, hitting the rich world first, but 45 sweeping through poorer countries too.

Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph morethan once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by markingthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why the Mona Lisa Stands OutA）Have you ever fallen for a novel and been amazed not to find it on lists of great books? Or walked around a sculpture renowned as a classic, struggling to see what the fuss is about? If so, you’ve probably pondered the question a psychologist, James Cutt ing, asked himself: how does a work of art come to be considered great?B）The intuitive answer is that some works of art are just great: of intrinsically superior quality. The paintings that win prime spots in galleries, get taught in classes and reproduced in books are the ones that have proved their artistic value over time. If you can’t see they’re superior, that’s your problem. It’s an intimidating neat explanation. But some social scientists have been asking awkward questions of it, raising the possibility that artistic canons （名作目录）are little more than fossilized historical accidents.C）Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological mechanism known as the “mere-exposure effect” played a role in deciding which paintings rise to the top of the cultural league. Cutting designed an experiment to test his hunch （直觉）. Over a lecture course he regularly showed undergraduates works of impressionism for two seconds at a time. Some of the paintings were canonical, included in art-history books. Others were lesser known but of comparable quality. These were exposed four times as often. Afterwards, the students preferred them to the canonical works, while a control group of students liked the canonical ones best.Cutting’s students had grow n to like those paintings more simply because they had seen them more.D）Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as to how canons are formed. He points out that the most reproduced works of impressionism today tend to have been bought by five or six wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century. The preferences of these men bestowed （给予）prestige on certain works, which made the works more likely to be hung in galleries and printed in collections. The fame passed down the years, gaining momentum from mere exposure as it did so. The more people were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more they liked it, the more it appeared in books, on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile, academics and critics created sophisticated justifications for its preeminence （卓越）. After all, it’s not just the masses who tend to rate what they see more often more highly. As contemporary artists like Warhol and Damien Hirst have grasped, critics’ praise is deeply entwined （交织）with publicity. “Scholars”, Cutting argues, “are no different from the public in the effects of mere exposure.”E）The process described by Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls “cumulative advantage”: once a thing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still.A few years ago, Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to study the dynamics of social networks, had a similar experience to Cutting’s in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the “Mona Lisa” in its climate-controlled bulletproof box at the Louvre, he came away puzzled: why was it considered so superior to the three other Leonardos in the previous chamber, to which nobody seemed to be paying the slightest attention?F）When Watts looked into the history of “the greatest painting of all time”, he discovered that, for most of its life, the “Mona Lisa” remained in relative obscurity. In the 1850s, Leonardo da Vinci was considered no match for giants of Renaissance art like Titian and Raphael, whose works were worth almost ten times as much as the “Mona Lisa”. It was only in the 20th century that Leonardo’s portrait of his patron’s wife rocketed to the number-one spot. What propelled it there wasn’t a scholarly re-evaluation, but a theft.G）In 1911 a maintenance worker at the Louvre walked out of the museum with the “Mona Lisa” hidden under his smock （工作服）. Parisians were shocked at the theft of a painting to which, until then, they had paid little attention. When the museum reopened, people queued to see the gap where the “Mona Lisa” had once hung in a way they had never done for the painting itself. From then on, the “Mona Lisa” came to represent Western culture itself.H）Although many have tried, it does seem improbable that the painting’s unique status can be attributed entirely to the quality of its brushstrokes. It has been said that the subject’s eyes follow the viewer around the room. But as the painting’s biographer, Donald Sassoon, dryly notes, “In reality the effect can be obtained from any portrait.” Duncan Watts proposes that the “Mona Lisa” is merely an extreme example of a general rule. Paintings, poems and pop songs are buoyed （使浮起）or sunk by random events or preferences that turn into waves of influence, passing down the generations.I）“Saying that cultural objects have value,” Brian Eno once wrote, “is like saying that telephones have conversations.” Nearly all the cultural objects we consume arrive wrapped in inherited opinion; our preferences are always, to some extent, som eone else’s. Visitors to the “Mona Lisa” know they are about to visit the greatest work of art ever and come away appropriately impressed—or let down. An audience at a performance of “Hamlet” know it is regarded as a work of genius, so that is what they mostly see. Watts even calls the preeminence of Shakespeare a“historical accident”.J）Although the rigid high-low distinction fell apart in the 1960s, we still use culture as a badge of identity. Today’s fashion for eclecticism （折衷主义）—“I love Bach, Abba and Jay Z”—is, Shamus Khan, a Columbia University psychologist, argues, a new way for the middle class to distinguish themselves from what they perceive to be the narrow tastes of those beneath them in the social hierarchy.K）The intrinsic quality of a work of art is starting to seem like its least important attribute. But perhaps it’s more significant than our social scientists allow. First of all, a work needs a certain quality to be eligible to be swept to the top of the pile. The “Mona Lisa” may not be a worthy world champion, but it was in the Louvre in the first place, and not by accident. Secondly, some stuff is simply better than other stuff. Read “Hamlet” after reading even the greatest of Shakespeare’s contemporaries, and the difference may strike you as unarguable.L）A study in the British Journal of Aesthetics suggests that the exposure effect doesn’t work the same way on everything, and points to a different conclusion about how canons are formed. The social scientists are right to say that we should be a little skeptical of greatness, and that we should always look in the next room. Great art and mediocrity （平庸）can get confused, even by experts. But that’s why we need to see, and read, as much as we can. The more we’re exposed to the good and the bad, the better we are at telling the difference. The eclecticists have it.46. According to Duncan Watts, the superiority of the “Mona Lisa” to Leonardo’s other works resulted from the cumulative advantage.47. Some social scientists have raised doubts about the intrinsic value of certain works of art.48. It is often random events or preferences that determine the fate of a piece of art.49. In his experiment, Cutting found that his subjects liked lesser known works better than canonical works because of more exposure.50. The author thinks the greatness of an art work still lies in its intrinsic value.51. It is true of critics as well as ordinary people that the popularity of artistic works is closely associated with publicity.52. We need to expose ourselves to more art and literature in order to tell the superior from the inferior.53. A study of the history of the greatest paintings suggests even a great work of art could experience years of neglect.54. Culture is still used as a mark to distinguish one social class from another.55. Opinions about and preferences for cultural objects are often inheritable.Section CDirections: 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）. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.When the right perso n is holding the right job at the right moment, that person’s influence is greatly expanded. That is the position in which Janet Yellen, who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank （Fed）in January, now finds herself. If you believe, as many do, that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our day, then it is nostretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now.Throughout the 2008 financial crisis and the recession and recovery that followed, central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort, holding up the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying. Yellen, previously a Fed vice chair, was one of the principal architects of the Fed’s $3.8trillion money dump. A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labor markets, Yellen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime （次级债）meltdown. Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and most unconventional monetary program in history without derailing the fragile recovery.The good news is that Yellen, 67, is particularly well suited to meet these challenges. She has a keen understanding of financial markets, an appreciation for their imperfections and a strong belief that human suffering was more related to unemployment than anything else.Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation. But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly divided between the well-off and the long-term unemployed, more people worry about the opposite, deflation （通货紧缩）that would aggravate the economy’s problems.Either way, the incoming Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly ending the stimulus. It must be steady enough to deflate bubbles （去泡沫）and bring markets back down to earth but not so quick that it creates another credit crisis.Unlike many past Fed leaders, Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry’s argument that it should be left alone to regulate itself. She knows all along the Fed has been too slack on regulation of finance.Yellen is likely to address the issue right after she pushes unemployment below 6%, stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive and robust. As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says, “She’s smart as a whip, deeply logical, willing to argue but also a good listener. She can persuade without creating hostility.” All those traits will be useful as the global economy’s new power player takes on its most annoying problems.56. What do many people think is the biggest problem facing Janet Yellen?A）Lack of money.B）Subprime crisis.C）Unemployment.D）Social instability.57. What did Yellen help the Fed do to tackle the 2008 financial crisis?A）Take effective measures to curb inflation.B）Deflate the bubbles in the American economy.C）Formulate policies to help financial institutions.D）Pour money into the market through asset buying.58. What is a greater concern of the general public?A）Recession. C）Inequality.B）Deflation. D）Income.59. What is Yellen likely to do in her position as the Fed chief?A）Develop a new monetary program.B）Restore public confidence.C）Tighten financial regulation.D）Reform the credit system.60. How does Alan Blinder portray Yellen?A）She possesses strong persuasive power.B）She has confidence in what she is doing.C）She is one of the world’s greatest economists.D）She is the most powerful Fed chief in history.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Air pollution is deteriorating in many places around the world. The fact that public parks in cities become crowded as soon as the sun shines proves that people long to breathe in green, open spaces. They do not all know what they are seeking but they flock there, nevertheless. And, in these surroundings, they are generally both peaceful and peaceable. It is rare to see people fighting in a garden. Perhaps struggle unfolds first, not at an economic or social level, but over the appropriation of air, essential to life itself. If human beings can breathe and share air, they don’t need to struggle with one another.Unfortunately, in our western tradition, neither materialist nor idealist theoreticians give enough consideration to this basic condition for life. As for politicians, despite proposing curbs on environmental pollution, they have not yet called for it to be made a crime. Wealthy countries are even allowed to pollute if they pay for it.But is our life worth anything other than money? The plant world shows us in silence what faithfulness to life consists of. It also helps us to a new beginning, urging us to care for our breath, not only at a vital but also at a spiritual level. The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is that which exists between ourselves and the plant world. Often described as “the lungs of the planet”, the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen. But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit. If we lack the air necessary for a healthy life, it is because we have filled it with chemicals and undercut the ability of plants to regenerate it. As we know, rapid deforestation combined with the massive burning of fossil fuels is an explosive recipe for an irreversible disaster.The fight over the appropriation of resources will lead the entire planet to hell unless humans learn to share life, both with each other and with plants. This task is simultaneously ethical and political because it can be discharged only when each takes it upon herself or himself and only when it is accomplished together with others. The lesson taught by plants is that sharing life expands and enhances the sphere of the living, while dividing life into so-called natural or human resources diminishes it. We must come to view the air, the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the preservation of life and growth, rather than a web of quantifiable objects or productive potentialities at our disposal. Perhaps then we would finally begin to live, rather than being concerned with bare survival.61. What does the author assume might be the primary reason that people would struggle with each other?A）To get their share of clean air.B）To pursue a comfortable life.C）To gain a higher social status.D）To seek economic benefits.62. What does the author accuse western politicians of?A）Depriving common people of the right to clean air.B）Giving priority to theory rather than practical action.C）Offering preferential treatment to wealthy countries.D）Failing to pass laws to curb environmental pollution.63. What does the author try to draw our closest attention to?A）The massive burning of fossil fuels.B）Our relationship to the plant world.C）The capacity of plants to renew polluted air.D）Large-scale deforestation across the world.64. How can human beings accomplish the goal of protecting the plant according to the author?A）By showing respect for plants.B）By preserving all forms of life.C）By tapping all natural resources.D）By pooling their efforts together.65. What does the author suggest we do in order not just to survive?A）Expand the sphere of living.B）Develop nature’s potentials.C）Share life with nature.D）Allocate the resources.Part IV Translation （30 minutes）Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2015年6月英语六级考试真题及答案详解卷一Writing：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”"Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it."参考范文：In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge acquired every day into reality has intrigued numerous people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”Apparently, this saying aims to deliver the message that if we truly want to master the knowledge we learn, we ought not to stop practicing it.第一段三句话，用核心词引入+带出引言+引言的目的There are several reasons accountable for this statement. To begin with, human being are forgetful beings; therefore, only when we use knowledge, make mistakes, and try to use it again will we be able to remember it by our heart. Moreover, knowledge has become growingly complicated and we can seldom genuinely grasp the essence of it if we do not practice it and ponder it over again and again. For instance, there used to be simple diseases, such as the cold and measles, and a doctor might have the knowledge to treat all the common ones. However, with our living environment becoming ever increasingly harsher, the diseases have evolved into weird, irremediable, and unpredictable ones. Therefore, the medication has been divided into numerous branches, and doctors of each one have to practice for years only in order to cure the diseases belonging to the similar sort.第二段，解释引言。
