2014英语六级翻译新题型冲刺
2014年12月英语六级改革翻译新题型复习方法
英语六级改革翻译新题型复习方法说到四六级考试新题型——段落翻译题，大家可能会皱起眉头，的确，翻译题是有些许难度，可是大家千万不要望而却步，只要掌握了一定的复习方法，翻译题目其实也是可以拿高分的，下面便是小编为大家准备的英语六级改革后翻译题目的备考建议，快来看看吧。
翻译部分，原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。
翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。
四级长度为140-160个汉字，六级长度为180-200个汉字。
翻译部分所需的能力比较全面综合，所以无疑可以说是四六级中最难的题型，最易丢分。
在国内各种考试中，翻译也是拉开考生分数档的一个题型。
而段落汉译英最难的莫过于词语和句型的对等翻译，虽然不及翻译考试难，但对于广大没有专门学习翻译的考生来讲，亦可谓难题一个。
备考建议：这部分的重点依然是词汇，我这里指的是较为特殊的翻译类词汇，主要是一些和中国节日、历史事件、经济文化、旅游活动、社会发展等相关的词汇。
这些词汇的来源我个人推荐如下两种：1、上海市中高级口译系列之翻译教程。
(四级买中级，六级买高级，网上可购)。
2、每周至少精读一份China daily的报纸或者每天阅读其网站。
这份报纸的大部分内容确实超越了多数考生目前的实力，但是一些涉及到日常社会生活的词语，却是值得学习的。
大家每天看看网站中头条新闻，配合相关中文新闻的背景，就可以学到很多表达。
另外推荐一个中国日报网站下的一个小栏目：language tips，有大量简单实用的双语文章。
与此同时，大家平时注意选购一些难度不大的翻译书籍，注意积累一些中英文的相关表达。
若是还有闲暇时间(其实是有的，大学生活怎一个闲字了得？) ，平时不妨多浏览一些英语学习网站如沪江、可可之类的，或是每天看看英语新闻杂志的网站，如VOA，CNN，BBC，CRI，TIMES，NEWSWEEK等等，养成了看英语，听英语，甚至说英语的习惯，英语便不再是种负担或是你所认为没用的技能，相反，它会成为你生活中的一种乐趣，考试不过是顺带的事情。

中国文化之饮茶The Chinese people, in their drinking of tea, place much significance on the act of "savoring." "Savoring tea" is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but also how people take delight in their reverie and in tea-drinking itself. Snatching a bit of leisure from a busy schedule, making a kettle of strong tea, securing a serene space, and serving and drinking tea by yourself can help banish fatigue and frustration, improve your thinking ability and inspire you with enthusiasm. You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to appreciate the subtle allure of tea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up into a sublime aesthetic realm. Buildings, gardens, ornaments and tea sets are the elements that form the ambience for savoring tea. A tranquil, refreshing, comfortable and neat locale is certainly desirable for drinking tea. Chinese gardens are well known in the world and beautiful Chinese landscapes are too numerous to count. Teahouses tucked away in gardens and nestled beside the natural beauty of mountains and rivers are enchanting places of repose for people to rest and recreate themselves.China is a country with a time-honored civilization and a land of ceremony and decorum. Whenever guests visit, it is necessary to make and serve tea to them. Before serving tea, you may ask them for their preferences as to what kind of tea they fancy and serve them the tea in the most appropriate teacups. In the course of serving tea, the host should take careful note of how much water is remaining in the cups and in the kettle. Usually, if the tea is made in a teacup, boiling water should be added after half of the cup has been consumed; and thus the cup is kept filled so that the tea retains the same bouquet and remains pleasantly warm throughout the entire course of tea-drinking. Snacks, sweets and other dishes may be served at tea time to complement the fragrance of the tea and to allay one's hunger.参考译文：中国人饮茶，注重一个"品"字。

Many members of the elite Russell Group are among those facing 28 , with Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Southampton being particularly 29 . Data from the Government's Higher Education Funding Council for England suggests some newer universities such as Bedfordshire and East London are expecting to lose around one-in-eight places. The cuts are being 30 following the introduction of new rules that effectively 31 universities charging more than 7,500 in student fees from this autumn. It means large numbers of places are being 32 towards cheap further education colleges. Ministers are also lifting controls on the number of bright students gaining at least two A grades and a B at Alevel that universities can recruit 33 an inevitable scramble towards a small number of top institutions. The funding council's chief executive denied the loss of student places would tip any institution into significant financial trouble. But Prof Michael Farthing, vice-chancellor of Sussex University and chairman of the 1994 Group, which represents many small research institutions, said the figures show that many excellent students will be denied places at their first choice universities. "The number of students universities are allowed to recruit has been cut across the sector, with 20,000 places 34 o institutions with lower than average fees, "he said. "Far from giving the best universities freedom to 35 more students, this represents a push to a cut-price education." 第26空答案为（ ）。

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.47、根据以下内容回答47-56题Protecting Student Privacy in the Data AgeA．In Kentucky, parents, educators and policy makers can track how many students from a high school go to college, and once they are there, how many require remedial classes (补习班) ．Massachusetts is one of several states with an early warning indicator system, which notifies school officials when students appear to be at risk for dropping out of high school．And in Georgia, teachers can easily access years of test scores, class, grades and attendance rates for any student．B．Student data advocates argue that used correctly data，including student attendance, test scores and demographics (人口统计) , can enrich education．Teachers can better personalize instruction for students, principals can view the academic records of students who move across school districts and parents can determine whether a child is on track for college, to name just a few examples．C．But that promise comes with threats to students" privacy．Parents have expressed concerns that if teachers have easy access to students' entire academic histories, they might write off those with poor records, or that student information might fall into the hands of sexual predators (侵害者) ．Those concerns have led to heated debates about how much data schools should be collecting, how it should be stored and who should have access to it．D．Over the past year, the Common Core State Standards have also triggered discussions about student data, although the standards do not call for the federal government to collect data．"There's no denying that education technology has the potential to transform learning if it's used wisely," said Joni Lupovitz, vice president of policy at Common Sense Media, which this fall launched a campaign to raise awareness about student privacy issues．"What we're working to ensure is that as educators, parents and student embrace more and more education technology, (and)balance the equation by focusing on student privacy to help ensure that we're creating an atmosphere where kids can learn and be engaged and thrive without putting their personal information at risk．"Relying on a 1970s LawE．Until recently, most states weighing privacy questions relied on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) , a 1974 law intended to protect student education records, But in recent years, the U．S．Department of Education has made regulatory changes to the law, creating many exceptions．For example, education records now may be shared with outside contractors, such as private companies that track grades or attendance on behalf of school systems．The changes have prompted some states to examine whether they should play a stronger role in protecting student data．F．Paige Kowalski, director of state policy and advocacy for the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit that advocates for the effective use of data to improve student achievement, said states are starting to realize they need more sophisticated and comprehensive policies, regulations and practices around student privacy, and that they can't just rely on FERPA．G．"All states have privacy laws on the books, but a lot of them are old," Kowalski said．"A lot of them just don't have modern policies that were written acknowledging that data is even at the state level, let alone stored electronically and because of technology is able to move．" Kowalski added that states' privacy policies might refer to outdated information practices, such as checking out paper documents, while failing to discuss modern needs like encryption (加密)．H．Most school districts rely on cloud computing--meaning data are stored on servers that can be accessed through the Internet--for everything from cafeteria payments to attendance records．But a recent study by the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School concluded that most cloud-based services are "poorly understood, nontransparent and weakly governed" by schools．Most school districts fail to inform parents that they are using cloud-based services, and many contracts with web-based vendors (供应商) fail to address privacy issues, the study found．Keeping Parents in the DarkI．The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit research group in Washington, D．C．, filed a lawsuit in February 2012 against the U．S．Department of Education challenging its FERPA changes, but a federal court dismissed the lawsuit for lack of standing．J．Khaliah Barnes, the center's administrative law counsel, said many schools and states are doing a poor job of informing parents of the issues that can arise with technology．She said school districts should tell parents about the kinds of information they collect, to whom that information is disclosed and for what purposes．Parents should also have the right to opt out of disclosing certain types of information, she said, and should be informed how to access and change incorrect information．K．Barnes said schools are using new technology to collect information that goes far beyond attendance records and test scores．Schools have used palm scanners to help students speed through cafeteria lines, and GPS or microchip (微芯片) technology to tell schools when students get on the right school buses or arrive at school, for example．L．One state leading the conversation on student data privacy is Oklahoma, which in June adopted the Student Data Accessibility, Transparency and Accountability Act establishing rules for the collection and transfer of student data by the state．"It was designed as a system of safeguards to protect student privacy," said state representative David Brumbaugh, a Republican, who sponsored the legislation．"It stops the release of confidential (机密的)data to organizations outside of Oklahoma without written consent of parents or guardians．"M．The law prohibits the state from releasing any student-level data without state approval, which means the education department can release only data that is aggregated and cannot be tied to any individual student．"To my knowledge, we're the only state that doesn't release student-level data," said Kim Richey, general counsel for the Oklahoma Department of Education．N．Brumbaugh said he's heard from lawmakers around the country interested in proposing similar legislation for their states．The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council has also proposed model legislation similar to the Oklahoma bill．O．Other states also have taken action on student data privacy this year: In New York, where a handful of bills related to student data privacy have been introduced in the legislature, the Senate Education Committee held a series of public hearings (听证会) on topics including student privacy around a planned data collection system．Last week, state senator John Flanagan called" for a one-year delay in the launch of the data collection system．The Long Island Republicanurged lawmakers to strengthen protections for data on the statewide data portal (门户网站) and set civil and criminal penalties for violations．Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, a Republican, signed an executive order in May prohibiting the state from collecting or sharing personally identifiable data on students and prohibiting student data from being collected for the development of commercial products or services．In October, the Alabama State Board of Education adopted a new policy on student data that allows the state to share student data with the federal government only in aggregate．The policy also calls on school districts to adopt their own policies on the collection and sharing of student data．Republican Gov．Terry Branstad of Iowa signed an executive order in October reaffirming that student data should be collected in accordance with state and federal privacy laws and that only aggregate student data would be provided to the federal government．A study indicated that the way schools handle cloud-based services is quite unsatisfactory．48、The changes made to FERPA suggest that now student data may be exposed to a wider circle．49、Some states follow Oklahoma and have taken some measures to deal with student data privacy．50、Some states' laws or policies on privacy are based on past practices and thus can't meet the present situations．51、New technology enables schools to expand the scope of information they collect．52、Now states become aware that FERPA alone cannot be effective in protecting student data．53、Oklahoma's bill on student data privacy has made a nationwide impact．54、Parents worry that certain information may be at risk of being altered or deleted by those who can access student data．55、Parents should have the right to know more and make decisions about the collection and use of student data．56、The proper use of student data can improve the teaching since teachers can learn more about individual differences between students．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 on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.57、Questions57-66are based on the ．following passage．A recent study discovered that after surviving a heart attack, women have a slightly higher risk than men of dying in the next 30 days．The finding, researchers say, likely reflects the differences in the type of heart failure women experience, as well as the severity of the condition．(When the severity of the heart attack was taken into consideration, the mortality rates were more comparable between men and women)．The study examined medical records for more than 136,000 patients who had suffered from acute coronary syndromes (ACS急性冠状动脉综合症) ．They found that, in the month after first suffering ACS, the mortality rate among men was 5．3%, compared with 9．6% in women．Under the umbrella term ACS there are multiple conditions--including heart attack caused by either completely or partially blocked blood supply, and what doctors refer to as "unstable angina (心绞痛) ," or when slowly decreasing blood and oxygen supply causes tightness in the chest, often a precursor (前兆) to the more severe types of heart attack．In this study, a heart attack caused by completely or nearly completely blocked blood supply was more likely to result in death after 30 days for women, compared with men．But for slightly less severe incidents, in which blood flow was partially or temporarily blocked, or in cases of unstable angina, women had lower mortality rates in the following 30 days than men did．The differences, which incorporate both sex and type of ACS, suggest to researchers that physicians should take gender into consideration when assessing patients, and deciding on the best course of treatment or prevention．Women, who in the study tended to be older than men when they suffered heart attack, were also more likely to have concurrent complications (并发症) such as diabetes (糖尿病) or hypertension (高血压) ．And whereas men were more likely to have narrowed coronary arteries (冠状动脉）, which was less frequently the case among women．After a more severe incident, the fact that women had a greater risk for death suggested to doctors that it might be due to the subsequent reduction in blood flow．On the other hand, that they got along better than men after the less severe forms of ACS--partial blockage or unstable angina--was likely a result of the generally less severe blockages seen in women, as compared to men．Heart disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women, and though, overall women's health outcomes continue to be slightly worse than men's, they are improving．And, researchers hope, with more studies illuminating the way in which heart disease uniquely impacts women and men, new gender- specific treatment methods may be the way of the future．What does the study indicate about acute coronary syndromes (ACS) ?A．It can have different impact on women and men．B．It can be regarded as the leading cause of death among these patients．C．It can lead to more severe types of heart attack．D．It can cause more deaths among men in the next 30 days．58、According to the study, more women's deaths are likely to occur in a month when the heart attack is caused byA．temporary blockageB．tightness in the chestC．unstable anginaD．complete blockage59、Among these ACS patients, women were more likely toA．have more severe forms of ACSB．be younger than menC．have other diseasesD．have narrowed coronary arteries60、What is the possible reason for women's lower death risk in case of less severe ACS? A．The blood supply decreased subsequently．B．They usually had less severe blockages than men．C．New treatment methods were adopted.D．They are less likely to have diabetes or hypertension．61、What is the main purpose of the study?A．To improve overall women's health outcomes．B．To call for ACS solutions based on gender differences．C．To find the best course of treatment or prevention of ACS．D．To decrease the mortality rate in 30 days after the heart attack．62、Questions62-71are based on the following passage．Meat eaters in developed countries will have to eat a lot less meat, cutting consumption by 50%, to avoid the worst consequences of future climate change, new research warns．The fertilizers used in farming are responsible for a significant share of the warming that causes climate change．A study published in Environmental Research Letters warns that drastic changes in food production and at the dinner table are needed by 2050 in order to prevent disastrous global warming．It's probably the most difficult challenge in dealing with climate change: how to reduce emissions from food production while still producing enough to feed a global population projected to reach 9 billion by the middle of this century．The findings, by Eric Davidson, director of the Woods Hole Research Centre in Massachusetts, saythe developed world will have to cut fertilizer use by 50% and persuade consumers in the developed world to stop eating so much meat．Davidson concedes it's a hard sell．"I think there are huge challenges in convincing people in the west to reduce portion sizes or the frequency of eating meat．That is part of our culture right now," he said．Researchers have been paying closer attention in the past few years to the impact of agriculture on climate change, and the parallel problem of growing enough food for an expanding population．Some scientists are at work growing artificial meat which would avoid the fertilizers and manure (粪肥)responsible for climate change．Nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮) , released by fertilizers and animal manure, is the most potent of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change．The UN's climate body has called for deep cuts to those emissions．Growing feed crops, for cattle and pigs, produces more of those emissions than food crops that go directly into the human food chain．Eating less meat would reduce demand for fertilizers as well as reduce the amount of manure produced．Davidson also suggests changes in current farming practice．For example, such as growing winter ground cover crops would help absorb nitrogen (氮) and prevent its release into the atmosphere．In reaching his conclusion, Davidson draws on figures from the Food and Agricultural Organization suggesting the world population will reach 8．9 billion by 2050．Meat consumption is also projected to increase sharply to 89kg per person a year in rich countries．Such a trajectory (发展轨迹)would put the world on course to more severe consequences of climate change．Davidson is not suggesting people give up meat entirely．"The solution isn't that everyone needs to become a vegetarian．Simply reducing portion sizes and frequency would go a long way," he said．So would switching from beef and pork, which have a high carbon footprint (碳排放量), to chicken or fish．What is the hardest task in coping with the future climate change?A．To persuade people to reduce portion sizes or the frequency of eating meat．B．To balance between food production and emissions of greenhouse gases．C．To produce enough food for an expanding global population．D．To change the current farming practice．63、Which of the following statements is NOT a suggestion made by Davidson? A．Decrease the use of fertilizers．B．Cut the meat consumption．C．Plant winter ground cover crops．D．Grow artificial meat．64、We can infer that one benefit of eating less meat is that it can reduceA．the planting of food crops。

Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section AIt was 10 years ago, on a warm July night, that a newborn lamb took her first breath in a small shed in Scotland. From the outside, she looked no different from thousands of other sheep born on 36 farms. But Dolly, as the world soon came to realize, was no 37 lamb. She was cloned from a single cell of an adult female sheep, 38 long-held scientific dogma that had declared such a thing biologically impossible.A decade later, scientists are starting to come to grips with just how different Dolly was. Dozens of animals have been cloned since that first lamb—mice, cats, cows and, most recently, a dog—and it’s becoming 39 clear that they are all, in one way or another, defective.It’s 40 to think of clones as perfect c arbon copies of the original. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees of genetic 41. That may come as a shock to people who have paid thousands of dollars to clone a pet cat only to discover that the baby cat looks and behaves 42 like their beloved pet—with a different- color coat of fur, perhaps, or a 43 different attitude toward its human hosts.And these are just the obvious differences. Not only are clones 44 from the original template（模板）by time, but they are also the product of an unnatural molecular mechanism that turns out not to be very good at making 45 copies. In fact, the process can embed small flaws in the genes of clones that scientists are only now discovering.A) abstractB) completelyC) desertedD) duplicationE) everythingF) identicalG) increasinglyH) miniatureI) nothingJ) ordinaryK) overturningL) separatedM) surroundingN) systematicallyO) temptingSection BShould Single-Sex Education Be Eliminated?[A] Why is a neuroscientist here debating single-sex schooling? Honestly, I had no fixed ideas on the topic when I started researching it for my book, Pink Brain, Blue Brain. But any discussion of gender differences in children inevitably leads to this debate, so I felt compelled to dive into the research data on single-sex schooling. I read every study I could, weighed the existing evidence, and ultimately concluded that single-¬sex education is not the answer to gender gaps in achievement—or the best way forward for today’s young people. After my book was published, I me t several developmental and cognitive psychologists whose work was addressing gender and education from different angles, and we published a peer-reviewed Education Forum piece in Science magazine with the provocative title, “The Pseudoscience ofSingle-Se x Education.”[B] We showed that three lines of research used to justify single-sex schooling—educational, neuroscience, and social psychology—all fail to support its alleged benefits, and so the widely-held view that gender separation is somehow better for boys, girls, or both is nothing more than a myth.The Research on Academic Outcomes[C] First, we reviewed the extensive educational research that has compared academic outcomes in students attending single-sex versus coeducational schools. The overwhelming conclusion when you put this enormous literature together is that there is no clear academic advantage of sitting in all-female or all-male classes, in spite of much popular belief to the contrary. I base this conclusion not on any individual study, but on large- scale and systematic reviews of thousands of studies conducted in every major English-speaking country.[D] Of course, there’re many excellent single-sex schools out there, but as these careful research reviews have demonstrated, it’s not their single-sex composition that makes them excellent. It’s all the other advantages that are typically packed into such schools, such as financial resources, quality of the faculty, and pro-¬academic culture, along with the family background and pre-selected ability of the students themselves that determine their outcomes.[E] A case in point is the study by Linda Sax at UCLA, who used data from a large national survey of college freshmen to evaluate the effect of single-sex versus coeducational high schools. Commissioned by the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools, the raw findings look pretty good for the funders—higher SAT scores and a stronger academic orientation among women who had attended all girls' high schools (men weren’t studied). However, once the researchers controlled for both student and school attributes—measures such as family income, parents’ education, and school resources—most of these effects were erased or diminished.[F] When it comes to boys in particular, the data show that single-sex education is distinctly unhelpful for them. Among the minority of studies that have reported advantages of single-sex schooling, virtually all of them were studies of girls. There’re no rigorous studies in the United States that find single-sex schooling is better for boys, and in fact, a separate line of research by economists has shown both boys and girls exhibit greater cognitive growth over the school year based on the “dose” of girls in a classroom. In fact, boys benefit even more than girls from having larger numbers of female classmates. So single-sex schooling is really not the answer to the current “boy crisis” in education.Brain and Cognitive Development[G] The second line of research often used to justify single-sex education falls squarely within my area of expertise: brain and cognitive development. It's been more than a decade now since the “brain sex movement” began infiltrating（渗入）our schools, and there are literally hundreds of schools caught up in the fad（新潮）. Public schools in Wisconsin, Indiana, Florida and many other states now proudly declare on their websites that they separate boys and girls because “research solidly indicates that boys and girls learn differently,” due to “hard-wired” differences in their brains, eyes, ears, autonomic nervous systems, and more.[H] All of these statements can be traced to just a few would-be neuroscientists, especially physician Leonard Sax and therapist Michael Gurian. Each gives lectures, runs conferences, and does a lot of professional development on so-called“gender-specific learning.” I analyzed their various claims about sex differences in hearing, vision, language, math, stress responses, and “learning styles” in my book and a long peer-reviewed paper. Other neuroscientists and psychologists have similarly exposed their work. In short, the mechanisms by which our brains learn language, math, physics, and every other subject don’t differ between boys and girls. Of course, learning does vary a lot between individual students, but research reliably shows that this variance is far greater within populations of boys or girls than between the two sexes.[I] The equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution prohibits separation of students by sex in public education that’s based on precisely this kind of “overbroad generalizations about the different talents, capacities, or preferences of males and females.” And the reason it is prohibited is because it leads far too easily to stereotyping and sex discrimination.Social Developmental Psychology[J] That brings me to the third area of research which fails to support single-sex schooling and indeed suggests the practice is actually harmful: social-developmental psychology.[K] It’s a well-proven finding in social psychology that segregation promotes stereotyping and prejudice, whereas intergroup contact reduces them—and the results are the same whether you divide groups by race, age, gender, body mass index, sexual orientation, or any other category. What’s more, children are especially vulnerable to this kind of bias, because they are dependent on adults for learning which social categories are important and why we divide people into different groups.[L] You don’t have to look far to find evidence of stereotyping and sex discrimination in single-sex schools. There was the failed single-sex experiment in California, where six school districts used generous state grants to set up separate boys' and girls' academies in the late 1990s. Once boys and girls were segregated, teachers resorted to traditional gender stereotypes to run their classes, and within just three years, five of the six districts had gone back to coeducation.[M] At the same time, researchers are increasingly discovering benefits of gender interaction in youth. A large British study found that children with other-sex older siblings（兄弟姐妹）exhibit less stereotypical play than children with same-sex older siblings, such as girls who like sports and building toys and boys who like art and dramatic play. Another study of high school social networks found less bullying and aggression the higher the density of mixed-sex friendships within a given adolescent network. Then there is the finding we cited in our Science paper of higher divorce and depression rates among a large group of British men who attended single-sex schools as teenagers, which might be explained by the lack of opportunity to learn about relationships during their formative years.[N] Whether in nursery school, high school, or the business world, gender segregation narrows our perceptions of each other, facilitating stereotyping and sexist attitudes. It’s very simple: the more we structure children and adolescents’ environment around gender distinctions and separation, the more they will use these categories as the primary basis for understanding themselves and others.[O] Gender is an important issue in education. There are gaps in reading, writing, and science achievement that should be narrower. There are gaps in career choice that should be narrower—if we really want to maximize human potential and American economic growth. But stereotyping boys and girls and separating them in the name of fictitious（虚构的）brain differences is never going to close these gaps.46. Hundreds of schools separate boys from girls in class on the alleged brain and cognitive differences.47. A review of extensive educational research shows no obvious academic advantage of single-sex schooling.48. The author did not have any fixed ideas on single-sex education when she began her research on the subject.49. Research found men who attended single-sex schools in their teens were more likely to suffer from depression.50. Studies in social psychology have shown segregation in school education hasa negative impact on children.51. Reviews of research indicate there are more differences in brain and cognitive development within the same sex than between different sexes.52. The findings of the national survey of college freshmen about the impact of single-sex schooling fail to take into account student and school attributes.53. It wasn’t long before most of the school districts that experimented with single-sex education abandoned the practice.54. Boys from coeducational classes demonstrate greater cognitive abilities according to the economists' research.55. As careful research reviews show, academic excellence in some single-sex schools is attributed to other factors than single-sex education.Section CPassage OneInternational governments' inaction concerning sustainable development is clearly worrying but the proactive（主动出击的）approaches of some leading-edge companies are encouraging. Toyota, Wal-Mart, DuPont, M&S and General Electric have made tackling environmental wastes a key economic driver.DuPont committed itself to a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the 10 years prior to 2010. By 2007, DuPont was saving $2.2 billion a year through energy efficiency, the same as its total declared profits that year. General Electricaims to reduce the energy intensity of its operations by 50% by 2015. They have invested heavily in projects designed to change the way of using and conserving energy.Companies like Toyota and Wal-Mart are not committing to environmental goals out of the goodness of their hearts. The reason for their actions is a simple yet powerful realisation that the environmental and economic footprints fit well together. When M&S launched its “Plan A” sustainability programme in 2007, it was believed that it would cost over £200 million in the first five years. However, the initiative had generated £105 million by 2011/12.When we prevent physical waste, increase energy efficiency or improve resource productivity, we save money, improve profitability and enhance competitiveness. In fact, there are often huge “quick win” opportunities, thanks to years of neglect.However, there is a considerable gap between leading-edge companies and the rest of the pack. There are far too many companies still delaying creating a lean and green business system, arguing that it will cost money or require sizable capital investments. They remain stuck in the “environment is cost” mentality. Being environmentally friendly does not have to cost money. In fact, going beyond compliance saves cost at the same time that it generates cash, provided that management adopts the new lean and green model.Lean means doing more with less. Nonetheless, in most companies, economic and environmental continuous improvement is viewed as being in conflict with each other. This is one of the biggest opportunities missed across most industries. The size of the opportunity is enormous. The 3% Report recently published by World Wildlife Fund and CDP shows that the economic prize for curbing carbon emissions in the US economy is $780 billion between now and 2020. It suggests that one of the biggest levers for delivering this opportunity is “increased efficiency through management and behavioural change”—in other words, lean and green management.Some 50 studies show that companies that commit to such aspirational goals as zero waste, zero harmful emissions, and zero use of non-renewable resources are financially outperforming their competitors. Conversely, it was found that climate disruption is already costing $1.2 trillion annually, cutting global GDP by 1.6%. Unaddressed, this will double by 2030.56. What does the author say about some leading-edge companies?A) They operate in accordance with government policies.B) They take initiatives in handling environmental wastes.C) They are key drivers in their nations，economic growth.D) They are major contributors to environmental problems.57. What motivates Toyota and Wal-Mart to make commitments to environmental protection?A) The goodness of their hearts. B) A strong sense of responsibility.C) The desire to generate profits. D) Pressure from environmentalists.58. Why are so many companies reluctant to create an environment-friendly business system?A) They are bent on making quick money. B) They do not have the capital for the investment.C) They believe building such a system is too costly. D) They lack the incentive to change business practices.59. What is said about the lean and green model of business?A) It helps businesses to save and gain at the same time.B) It is affordable only for a few leading-edge companies.C) It is likely to start a new round of intense competition.D) It will take a long time for all companies to embrace it.60. What is the finding of the studies about companies committed to environmental goals?A) They have greatly enhanced their sense of social responsibility.B) They do much better than their counterparts in terms of revenues.C) They have abandoned all the outdated equipment and technology.D) They make greater contributions to human progress than their rivals.Passage TwoIf you asked me to describe the rising philosophy of the day, I'd say it is data-ism. We now have the ability to gather huge amounts of data. This ability seems to carry with it certain cultural assumptions—that everything that can be measured should be measured; that data is a transparent and reliable lens that allows us to filter out emotionalism and ideology; that data will help us do remarkable things—like foretell the fixture.Over the next year, I’m hoping to get a better grip on some of the questions raised by the data revolution: In what situations should we rely on intuitive pattern recognition and in which situations should we ignore intuition and follow the data?What kinds of events are predictable using statistical analysis and what sorts of events are not?I confess I enter this in a skeptical frame of mind, believing that we tend to get carried away in our desire to reduce everything to the quantifiable. But at the outset let me celebrate two things data does really well.First, it's really good at exposing when our intuitive view of reality is wrong. For example, nearly every person who runs for political office has an intuitive sense that they can powerfully influence their odds of winning the election if they can just raise and spend more money. But this is largely wrong.After the 2006 election, Sean Trende constructed a graph comparing the incumbent（在任者的）campaign spending advantages with their eventual margins of victory. There was barely any relationship between more spending and a bigger victory.Likewise, many teachers have an intuitive sense that different students have different learning styles: some are verbal and some are visual; some are linear, some are holistic（整体的）.Teachers imagine they will improve outcomes if they tailor their presentations to each student. But there’s no evidence to support this either.Second, data can illuminate patterns of behavior we haven’t yet noticed. For example, I've always assumed people who frequently use words like “I,” “me,” and “mine” are probably more self-centered than people who don't. But as James Pennebaker of the University of Texas notes in his book, The Secret Life of Pronouns, when people are feeling confident, they are focused on the task at hand, not on themselves. High-status, confident people use fewer “I” words, not more.Our brains often don’t notice subtle verbal patterns, but Pennebaker’s computers can. Younger writers use more negative and past-tense words than older writers who use more positive and future-tense words.In sum, the data revolution is giving us wonderful ways to understand the present and the past. Will it transform our ability to predict and make decisions about the future? We’ll see.61. What do data-ists assume they can do?A) Transform people’s cultural identity. B) Change the way future events unfold.C) Get a firm grip on the most important issues. D) Eliminate emotional and ideological bias.62. What do people running for political office think they can do?A) Use data analysis to predict the election result. B) Win the election if they can raise enough funds.C) Manipulate public opinion with favorable data. D) Increase the chances of winning by foul means.63. Why do many teachers favor the idea of tailoring their presentations to different students?A) They think students prefer flexible teaching methods.B) They will be able to try different approaches.C) They believe students，learning styles vary.D) They can accommodate students with special needs.64. What does James Pennebaker reveal in The Secret Life of Pronouns?A) The importance of using pronouns properly.B ) Repeated use of first-person pronouns by self-centered people.C) Frequent use of pronouns and future tense by young people.D) A pattern in confident people’s use of pronouns.65. Why is the author skeptical of the data revolution?A) Data may not be easily accessible. B) Errors may occur with large data samples.C) Data cannot always do what we imagine it can. D) Some data may turn out to be outdated.Translation (30 minutes)中国将努力确保到2015年就业者接受过平均13.3年的教育。
