2015年6月大学英语六级考试真题第一套听力演讲部分文字稿
2015年6月大学英语六级考试真题第一套听力演讲部分文字稿Section CNow listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great honor to introduce our speaker for today's lecture, Dr. David Robinson. Dr. Robinson, professor of human resource at Northwestern University, has written numerous articles and books on the issue about how to give a good presentation in front of many people; it is not enough to just express your own opinions but also make your audience absorbed and involved.Dr. Robinson: Thank you for that introduction. I feel honored to give a speech here. It's common: You are in the middle of your presentation when you realize that your audience is not listening to you. You can't hold their attention. Someone is not listening; someone else is talking with his friend, and there are even a few people who are sleeping. At the end of your presentation, you feel pretty bad about your performance. You can't understand: You offered many interesting ideas, but they were bored. You trained for that presentation every day in the past few weeks. You are pretty sure that your speech was great. How is it possible that people weren't listening to you? You feel confused and a little frustrated. Probably you don't know one thing. . . The problem wasn't you; the problem was your presentation. Most of the presenters don't make good slides. Be honest: How many boring, flat, black and white presentations have you seen on the screen over the last few years? If you take a look at Slide Share, you'll notice that most of the presentations there are boring. Not one,not two, not half. . . most of the presentations! The fault isn't of the presenters: No one taught them how to make a great presentation; no one taught them that their slides are as important as their speech. The only way to make people listen to you is to grab their attention with a phenomenal presentation. If your slides show a lot of text, they will bore people. People are lazy; they don't want to read while you are speaking. They don't need to read what you are saying them. If your slides are black and white, they'll appear uninteresting. If your slides show confused data and/or text, people won't pay attention. People want to learn while they get entertained. Some boring slides won't entertain them. Making a great presentation is pretty easy if you know how to do it. Images can be very powerful. They are probably the most important part of the presentation. Through the right images, you can evoke emotions in your audience. Think about how effective funny images are. Another example is shocking images: they have a great impact (but don't exaggerate!). One thing that you should avoid with images is to insert clip art. They are horrible. When you see a clip art on a presentation, you instantly perceive it as unprofessional. Use your images to cover the whole slide. Smaller images can work well if you use them well, but avoid them if you don't know how to put them in an excellent way. Use similar images. If your images seem to come from a related source, your presentation will get a more professional and better look. Thank you all! Hope today's lecture will help you!16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Robinson's articles and books?17. What does the speaker say about presentations nowadays?18. What do people expect except for learning from a presentation?19. What is the most important part of a presentation?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.Hello, everyone. Today, I'd like to talk about motivation. Motivation is something that many of us lack every now and then. It doesn't matter if you want to get a promotion or make a guy fall inlove with you, and don't expect others to help you. In order to reach your goal, you should never stop motivating yourself. Self-motivation is crucial in every aspect of life. It helps you start things and not leave them midway. If you feel like you need a motivation boost, here are some of the best tips to try: If you want to be good at something, you should push yourself to do that step by step. Your friends and family may support you and give you advice but they'll never do anything for your success. If you want to become the best cook in your country or even in the world, you should try and cook all day long without fearing mistakes. Mistakes actually help us become successful and assertive. The more mistakes you make, the more experience you get. You're in charge of yourself and no one can provide you with what you want. Although money doesn't buy happiness, you should start thinking about your prosperity now when you are young. Perhaps you don't have your own family now, so you have enough time to start a career and work hard to become successful. Think about it the next time you feel a lack of self-motivation. We often count on our parents, friends and coworkers, and blame them when something goes wrong. However, you are the only one who is responsible for your lifeand success. There's no one to count on but yourself- it's the harsh truth of life. Learn to take charge of your success and your life in general so that you don't waste your time waiting for someone's help. Life reflects ourselves and our deeds. Will you have a slim body if you don't do anything about it? Will you see the world if you're constantly sitting at home? Of course not. If you stay motionless, your life stays motionless as well. Change yourself and your life will also change. Life is always ready to help but only when we ask for help. But words don't work out in this case, only deeds do. The next step to self-motivation is to dream about the final result you'll get. Not only will you earn more money when you get promoted, but also become more confident and proud of yourself. Your partner can make you happier, but not happy. Learn to love yourself, be happy, work hard and enjoy the final result of your efforts. Thanks for listening!20. How can self-motivation help us?21. What does the speaker say about making mistakes?22. What is the harsh truth of life mentioned by the speaker?[22:04.01]Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.Hi, everyone! The old saying goes, “You're only as young as you feel.” But we live in a tough world. How can we possibly keep a youthful outlook on life when we have bills to pay, mouths to feed, and a roof to keep over our heads? While it's true that we'll certainly never be able to relive the carefree days of our childhood, we can live our lives to their fullest potential, and in doing so stay as fresh and invigorated as we were when we were young. Keeping good company will keep you socially happy and healthy throughout your life. On the other hand, nothing will drag you down more than socializing with people who hold youback from your full potential. Ironically, surrounding yourself with people who are intent on moving forward in life will keep you energized and make you feel as if you're always in your prime. It's when you find yourself surrounded by toxic friends who live in the past that you realize you're not getting any younger, and you'll start to feel as if the best days of your life have passed you by. Saying someone is “old-fashioned” is just a nice way of saying they are behind the times. If you get into the mindset that you're “too old” to learn something- like how to use Windows 10 or an iPhone- you'll certainly feel that you're past your prime. We live in a world in which education and knowledge is literally at our fingertips, and it's never been easier to pick up a new skill or hobby. Make it ahabit to learn something new every day, and you'll continue feeling sharp and ready to take on the world. Soon enough, you'll be showing your children tips and tricks on the iPhone 6! When we were kids, we jumped in puddles, rolled down hills, and ate snowflakes falling from the sky. I'm not saying you, as a grown adult, should do these things habitually. But you should never overlook the small things in life. Celebrate your good hair days. Feel victorious when you hit every green light on the way home from work. Actively look for things to enjoy in your life; no matter how much may be going wrong, there will always be something to smile about if you look hard enough. Hope you enjoy today's lecture. Thanks for listening!23. Why does the speaker say it is not easy to keep a youthful outlook on life?24. When will we realize that we are old according to the speaker?25. What does the speaker suggest people do at the end ofthe talk?。

2015年6月全国英语六级考试真题及答案(卷1)(3)
2015年6月全国英语六级考试真题及答案(卷1)(3)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. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on ,Answer Street 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank 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 digitalrevolution 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 creates new and better ones, as a more 39 society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred yearsago 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. No government is prepared for it.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Graduating them is another matter.Barry Mills, the president of Bowdoin College, was justifiably proud of Bowdoin's efforts to recruit minority students. Since 2003 the small, elite liberal arts school in Brunswick, Maine, has boosted the proportion of so-called under-represented minority students in entering freshman classes from 8% to 13%. "It is our responsibility to reach out and attract students to come to our kinds of places," he told a NEWSWEEK reporter. But Bowdoin has not done quite as well when it comes to actually graduating minorities. While 9 out of 10 white students routinely get their diplomas within six years, only 7 out of 10 black students made it to graduation day in several recent classes."If you look at who enters college, it now looks like America," says Hilary Pennington, director of postsecondary programs for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has closely studied enrollment patterns in higher education. "But if you look at who walks across the stage for a diploma, it's still largely the white, upper-income population."The United States once had the highest graduation rate of any nation. Now it stands 10th. For the first time in American history, there is the risk that the rising generation will be less well educated than the previous one. The graduation rate among 25- to 34-year-olds is no better than the rate for the 55- to 64-year-olds who were going to college more than 30 years ago. Studies show that more and more poor and non-white students want to graduate from college – but their graduation rates fall far short of their dreams. The graduation rates for blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans lag far behind the graduation rates for whites and Asians. As the minority population grows in the United States, low college graduation rates become a threat to national prosperity.The problem is pronounced at public universities. In 2007 the University of Wisconsin-Madison – one of the top five or so prestigious public universities – graduated 81% of its white students within six years, but only 56% of its blacks. At less-selective state schools, the numbers get worse. During the same time frame, the University of Northern Iowa graduated 67% of its white students, but only 39% of its blacks. Community colleges have low graduation rates generally – but rock-bottom rates for minorities. A recent review of California community colleges found that while a third of the Asian students picked up their degrees, only 15% ofAfrican-Americans did so as well.Private colleges and universities generally do better, partly because they offer smaller classes and more personal attention. But when it comes to a significant graduation gap, Bowdoin has company. Nearby Colby College logged an 18-point difference between white and black graduates in 2007 and 25 points in 2006. Middlebury College in Vermont, another top school, had a 19-point gap in 2007 and a22-point gap in 2006. The most selective private schools – Harvard, Yale, and Princeton – show almost no gap between black and white graduation rates. But that may have more to do with their ability to select the best students. According to data gathered by Harvard Law School professor Lain Gainer, the most selective schools are more likely to choose blacks who have at least one immigrant parent from Africa or the Caribbean than black students who are descendants of American slaves."Higher education has been able to duck this issue for years, particularly the more selective schools, by saying the responsibility is on the individual student," says Pennington of the Gates Foundation. "If they fail, it's their fault." Some critics blame affirmative action –students admitted with lower test scores and grades from shaky high schools often struggle at elite schools. But a bigger problem may be that poor high schools often send their students to colleges for which they are "under matched": they could get into more elite, richer schools, but instead go to community colleges and low-rated state schools that lack the resources to help them. Some schools out for profit cynically increase tuitions and count on student loans and federal aid to foot the bill – knowing full well that the students won't make it. "The school keeps the money, but the kid leaves with loads of debt and no degree and no ability to get a better job. Colleges are not holding up their end," says Amy Wilkins of the Education Trust.A college education is getting ever more expensive. Since 1982 tuitions have been rising at roughly twice the rate of inflation. In 2008 the net cost of attending a four-year public university – after financial aid – equaled 28% of median (中间的)family income, while afour-year private university cost 76% of median family income. More and more scholarships are based on merit, not need. Poorer students are not always the best-informed consumers. Often they wind up deeply in debt or simply unable to pay after a year or two and must drop out.There once was a time when universities took pride in their dropout rates. Professors would begin the year by saying, "Look to the right and look to the left. One of you is not going to be here by the end of the year." But such a Darwinian spirit is beginning to give way as at least a few colleges face up to the graduation gap. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the gap has been roughly halved over the last three years. The university has poured resources into peer counseling to help students from inner-city schools adjust to the rigor (严格要求)and faster pace of a university classroom –and also to help minority students overcome the stereotype that they are less qualified. Wisconsin has a "laser like focus" on building up student skills in the first three months, according to vice provost (教务长)Damon Williams.State and federal governments could sharpen that focus everywhere by broadly publishing minority graduation rates. For years private colleges such as Princeton and MIT have had success bringing minorities onto campus in the summer before freshman year to give them some prepare Tory courses. The newer trend is to start recruiting poor and non-white students as early as the seventh grade, using innovative tools to identify kids with sophisticated verbal skills. Such programs can be expensive, of course, but cheap compared with the millions already invested in scholarships and grants for kids who have little chance to graduate without special support.With effort and money, the graduation gap can be closed. Washington and Lee is a small, selective school in Lexington, Va. Its student body is less than 5% black and less than 2% Latino. While the school usually graduated about 90% of its whites, the graduation rate of its blacks and Latinos had dipped to 63% by 2007. "We went through a dramatic shift," says Dawn Watkins, the vice president for student affairs. The school aggressively pushed mentoring (辅导) of minorities by other students and "partnering" with parents at a special pre-enrollment session. The school had its first-ever black homecoming. Last spring the school graduated the same proportion of minorities as it did whites. If the United States wants to keep up in the global economic race, it will have to pay systematic attention to graduating minorities, not just enrolling them.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。
