2013年6月CET6 真题（第二套）快速阅读+听力原文+阅读理解Part IA smile is the shortest distance between two peoplePart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Welcome,Freshmen. Have an iPod.Taking a step that many professors may view as a bit counterproductive, some colleges and universities are doling out Apple iPhones and Internet-capable iPods to their students.The always-on Internet devices raise some novel possibilities, like tracking where students gather together. With far less controversy, colleges could send messages about canceled classes, delayed buses, campus crises or just the cafeteria menu.While schools emphasize its usefulness —online research in class and instant polling of students, for example — a big part of the attraction is, undoubtedly, that the iPhone is cool and a hit with students. Being equipped with one of the most recent cutting-edge IT products could just help a college or university foster a cutting-edge reputation.Apple stands to win as well, hooking more young consumers with decades of technology pur-chases ahead of them. The lone losers, some fear, could be professors.Students already have laptops and cell phones, of course, but the newest devices can take class distractions to a new level. They practically beg a user to ignore the long-suffering professor strug-gling to pass on accumulated wisdom from the front of the room — a prospect that teachers find most irritating and students view as, well, inevitable.“When it gets a little boring, I might pull it out,” acknowledged Naomi Pugh, a first-year student at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Term., referring to her new iPod Touch, which can connect to the Internet over a campus wireless network. She speculated that professors might try even harder to make classes interesting if they were to compete with the devices.Experts see a movement toward the use of mobile technology in education, though they say it isin its infancy as professors try to come up with useful applications. Providing powerful hand-held devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of technology in higher education.-director of re-search “We think this is the way the future is going to work,” said Kyle Dickson, co and the mobile learning initiative at Abilene Christian University in Texas, which has bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for students entering this fall.Although plenty of students take their laptops to class, they don’t take them everywhere and would prefer something lighter. Abilene Christian settled on the devices after surveying students and finding that they did not like hauling around their laptops, but that most of them always carried a cell phone, Dr. Dickson said.It is not clear how many colleges and universities plan to give out iPhones and iPods this fall; officials at Apple were unwilling to talk about the subject and said that they would not leak any institution’s plans.“We can’t announce other people’s news,”said Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPod and iPhone marketing at Apple. He also said that he could not discuss discounts to universities for bulkpurchases.At least four institutions — the University of Maryland, Oklahoma Christian University, AbileneChristian and Freed-Hardeman — have announced that they will give the devices to some or allof their students this fall.Other universities are exploring their options. Stanford University has hired a student-runcom-pany to design applications like a campus map and directory for the iPhone. It is consideringwhether to issue iPhones but not sure it, snecessary, noting that more than 700 iPhones wereregistered on the university’s network last year.At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, iPhones might already have been everywhere, ifAT&T, the wireless carrier offering the iPhone in the United States, had a more reliable network,said Andrew Yu, mobile devices platform project manager at M.I.T.“We would have probably gone ahead with this, maybe just getting a thousand iPhones and givingthem out,” Mr. Yusaid.The University of Maryland at College Park is proceeding cautiously, giving the iPhone or iPodTouch to 150 students, said Jeffrey Huskamp, vice president and chief information officer at theuniversity. “We don’t think that we have all the answers,” Mr. Huskamp said. By observing how students use the gadgets, he said, “We’re trying to get answers from the students.”At each college, the students who choose to get an iPhone must pay for mobile phone service.Those service contracts include unlimited data use. Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devicescan connect to the Internet through campus wireless networks. With the iPhone, those networksmay provide faster connections and longer battery life than AT&T’s d ata network. Many cellphones allow users to surf the Web, but only some newer ones are capable of wireless connectionto the local area computer network.University officials say that they have no plans to track their students (and Apple said it would notbe possible unless students give their permission). They say that they are drawn to the prospect oflearning applications outside the classroom, though such lesson plans have yet to surface.“My c olleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computerresearch dealing with the combination of real-world a nd virtual reality),” said Christopher Dede,professor in learning technologies at Harvard University. “Alien Contact,”　for example, is anexer-cise developed for middle-school students who use hand-held devices that can determinetheir location. As they walk around a playground or other area, text, video or audio pops up atvarious points to help them try to figure out why aliens were in the schoolyard.“You can imagine similar kinds of interactive activities along historical lines,” like folloimportant that we do research, so that weFreedom Trail in Boston, Professor Dede said. “It’sknow how well something like this works.”The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that students are less likely tonot someone who’s anti-technology, but I,mparticipate in class if they are multi-tasking. “I’malways worried that technology becomes an end in and of itself, and it replaces teaching or itsaid Ellen Millender, associate professor of classics at Reed Coll ege inreplaces analysis,,’　Portland, Ore. (She added that she hoped to buy an iPhone for herself once prices fall.)Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law School for about 40 years, announced this week— in a detailed, footnoted memorandum —that he would ban laptop computers from his class oncontract law.“I would ban that too if I knew the students were using it in class,” Professor Summers said iPhone, after the device and its capabilities were explained to him. “What we want to encour-in these students is an active intellectual experience, in which they develop the wide range ofcomplex reasoning abilities required of good lawyers.”The experience at Duke University may ease some concerns. A few years ago, Duke began givingiPods to students with the idea that they might use them to record lectures (these older modelscould not access the Internet).“We had assumed that the biggest focus of these devices would be consuming the content,”Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at Duke.But that is not all that the students did. They began using the iPods to create their ownmaking audio recordings of themselves and presenting them. The students turned what could havebeen a passive interaction into an active one, Ms. Futhey said.1.

InteractionPart III Listening ComprehensionSection A 短对话11.W: What's wrong with your phone, Gary? I tried to call you all night yesterday.M: I'm sorry. No one's able to get through yesterday. My telephone was disconnected by the phone company.Q: What does the woman ask the man about?12.W: I finally found a really nice apartment that's within my price range.M: Congratulations! Affordable housing is rare in this city. I've been looking for a suitable place since I got here six months ago.Q: What does the man mean?13.M: I got this in my mailbox today, but I don't know what it is. Do you have any idea?W: Oh, that's your number for the new photocopier. It acquires an access code. Everyone got one. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14.W: Jane told me that you'll be leaving at soon. Is it true?M: Yeah, my wife's maternity leave is close to an end. And since she wants to go back to work,I've decided to take a year off to raise the baby.Q: What does the man mean?15M: We'll never find a parking space here. What about dropping you at thesouth gate and I'll find parking somewhere else.W: Well, OK. It looks like everyone in town came to the mall today.Q: What does the woman mean?16W: When will the computers be back online?M: Probably not until tomorrow. The problem is more complicated than I thought.Q: What does the man mean?17M: Did you catch Professor Smith on TV last night?W: I almost missed it, but my mother just happened to be watching at home and gave me a call. Q: What does the woman imply?18M: May I get this prescription refilled?W: I'm sorry, sir, but we can't give you a refill on that. You'll have to get a new prescription.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Conversation OneW: Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia.M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are they hoping to get from us?W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don’t know if they might settle for us.M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in tongue for as much money as they think theygive.M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?W: It seems so.M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What we get out of it?W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum of money,but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we askfor our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertisingspace in it.M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.W: I know. But why don’t we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves on conditionthat on the front cover there's something like This program is presented with the compliments ofNorland Electronics, and free advertising of course.ack to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Then weM: Good idea. Well, let’s get bcan see if we are interested or not.Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What do we learn about the South Theater Company?20.

After last week's announcement that PhilCollins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counselingstars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, anexpert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voiceproblems?M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about where theywork. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting theirvoices after a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, forexample, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result inthe bruising of the vocal cords.W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice problems?M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-available on the continent and they are useful if a singer has problems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if they are taken regularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. They have difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, singing in smoky places.W: So, what would you advise the singers to do?M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down after.Questions 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does last week's announcement say about rock star, Phil Collins?23. What does Paul Philips say about aspirin?24. What does Paul Philips say about young pop singers?25. What are the speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question will confront New Yorkers in February asthe city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown.The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems.Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required.A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to drive it. Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to newly users. Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is theU.S. subsidiary of a German company. This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do we learn about the robot parking in the U.S. so far?27. What advantage does robotic parking have according to the developers?28. What does the attendant do in the automated garage?29. What does the company say about the parking rate?Passage 2A recent study shows that meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicles. So how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, always gas limed methane, which is the second most common green house gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that methane is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane that released into the atmosphere comingfrom farm animals. Another way in which meat production affects the environment is through theuse of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef. While 20 gallons of water are need to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland use to for raising cows can produce 250 pounds of beef. One acre of farmland use to for crop production can produce 1,500 pounds of tomatoes. Many people now say the benefits of switching to vegetariandiet which excludes meat and fish. Not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital rolein protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totallystrict vegetarian diet. They believe such a diet which includes no products from animal sourcescan be deficient in many of the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Today many people have come to realize that help the environment and for the human race to survive, more ofus will need to become vegetarian.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you've just heard.30. What does the recent study show?31. What do some nutritionists say about the strict vegetarian diet?32. What does the speaker think more people need to do?Passage 3Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearly nine million Americans alone suffer from the illness. Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between the alcohol addict and social drinker. The difference occurs when someone needs to drink. And this need gets in the way of his health or behavior. Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertness. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and other parts of the body. The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobile accidents. Another problem is that the victim often denies being an alcohol addic t and won’t get help. Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centers help patients cope. Without the assistance, the victim can destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose his employment, home or loved ones.All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. There is no standard for a person with alcoholism. Victims range in age, race, sex and background. Some groups of people are morevulnerable to the illness. People from broken homes and North American Indians are two examples. People from broken homes often lack stable lives. Indians likewise had the traditionallife taken from them by white settlers who often encourage them to consume alcohol to prevent them from fighting back. The problem has now been passed on. Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. With proper assistance, victims can put their lives together one day.Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33. What is the problem of the victims about alcoholism according to the speaker?Q34. Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?Q35. What does the speaker seem to believe about those affected by alcoholism?复合式听写Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself. If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfather who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of yourself-image are bought to light — the roles of grandparent, widower and conscientious citizen.But self-image is more than how you picture yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three types of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation. Conformation occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you are.You believe you have leadership abilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work team. On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treat you in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself definition. Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election. He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise— Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept. The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occurs when others fail to respond to your notion of self by responding neutrally. A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encouraging remarks. Rather than relying on how others classify you, consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best refection of yourself-image.Part IV Reading ComprehensionSection AQuestions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Oil is the substance that lubricates the world's economy. Because so many of our modern technologies and services depend on oil, nations, corporations, and institutions that control the trade in oil exercise extraordinary power. The “energy crisis” of 1973-1974 in the United States demonstrated how the price of oil can affect U.S. government policies and the energy-using habitsof the nation.By 1973, domestic U.S. sources of oil. were peaking, and the nation was importing more of its oil,depending on a constant flow from abroad to keep cars on the road and machines running. In addition, at that time a greater percentage of homes and electrical plants were run on petroleumthan today. Then, in 1973，the predominantly Arab nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) resolved to stop selling oil to the United States. The move was prompted by OPEC’s d esire to raise prices by restricting supply and by its opposition to U.S.support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli Yom Kippur War. The embargo (禁运) created panic in theWest and caused oil prices to shoot up. Short-term oil shortages drove American consumers towait in long lines at gas pumps.In response to the embargo, the U.S. government enforced a series of policies designed to reducereliance on foreign oil. These included developing additional domestic sources (such as those on North Slope), resuming extraction at sites that had been shut down because of costAlaska’sinefficiency, capping the price that domestic producers could charge for oil, and beginning toimport oil from a greater diversity of nations. The government also established a stockpile (贮存)of oil as a short-term buffer (缓冲) against future shortages. Stored underground in large saltcaves in Louisiana, this stockpile is called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and currently containsover 600 million barrels of oil, roughly equivalent to one month’s supply.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

The man in focus is Norman Borlaug, the Father of the 'Green Revolution', who died on September 12, 2009 at age 95. Norman Borlaug spent most of his 60 working years in the farmlands of Mexico, South Asia and later in Africa, fighting world hunger, and saving by some estimates up to a billion lives in the process. An achievement, fit for a Nobel Peace Prize.Early Years"I'm a product of the great depression" is how Borlaug described himself. A great-grandson of Norwegian immigrants to the United States, Borlaug was born in 1914 and grew up on a small farm in the northeastern corner of Iowa in a town called Cresco. His family had a 40-hectare (公顷) farm on which they grew wheat, maize (玉米) and hay and raised pigs and cattle. Norman spent most of his time from age 7-17 on the farm, even as he attended a one-room, one-teacher school at New Oregon in Howard County.Borlaug didn't have money to go to college. But through a Great Depression era programme, known as the National Youth Administration, Borlaug was able to enroll in the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis to study forestry. He excelled in studies and received his Ph.D. in plant pathology (病理学) and genetics in 1942. From 1942 to 1944, Borlaug was employed as a microbiologist at DuPont in Wilmington. However, following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, Borlaug tried to join the military, but was rejected under wartime labour regulations.In MexicoIn 1944, many experts warned of mass starvation in developing nations where populations were expanding faster than crop production. Borlaug began work at a Rockefeller Foundation-funded project in Mexico to increase wheat production by developing higher-yielding varieties of the crop. It involved research in genetics, plant breeding, plant pathology, entomology (昆虫学) ,agronomy (农艺学) , soil science, and cereal technology. The goal of the project was to boost wheat production in Mexico, which at the time was importing a large portion of its grain. Borlaug said that his first couple of years in Mexico were difficult. He lacked trained scientists and equipment. Native farmers were hostile towards the wheat programme because of serious crop losses from 1939 to 1941 due to stem rust.Wheat varieties that Borlaug worked with had tall, thin stalks. While taller wheat competed better for sunlight, they had a tendency to collapse under the weight of extra grain - a trait called lodging. To overcome this, Borlaug worked on breeding wheat with shorter and stronger stalks, which could hold on larger seed heads. Borlaug's new semi-dwarf, disease-resistant varieties, called Pitic 62 and Penjamo 62, changed the potential yield of Mexican wheat dramatically. By 1963 wheat production in Mexico stood six times more than that of 1944.Green Revolution in IndiaDuring the 1960s, South Asia experienced severe drought condition and India had been importing wheat on a large scale from the United States. Borlaug came to India in 1963 along with Dr. Robert Anderson to duplicate his Mexican success in the sub-continent. The experiments began with planting a few of the high-yielding variety strains in the fields of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute at Pusa in New Delhi, under the supervision of Dr. M. S. Swaminathan. These strains were subsequently planted in test plots at Ludhiana, Pantnagar, Kanpur, Pune and Indore. The results were promising, but large-scale success, however, was not instant. Cultural opposition to new agricultural techniques initially prevented Borlaug from going ahead with planting of new wheat strains in India. By 1965, when the drought situation turned alarming, the Government took the lead and allowed wheat revolution to move forward. By employing agricultural techniques he developed in Mexico, Borlaug was able to nearly double South Asian wheat harvests between 1965 and 1970.India subsequently made a huge commitment to Mexican wheat, importing some 18000 tonnes of seed. By 1968, it was clear that the Indian wheat harvest was nothing short of revolutionary. It was so productive that there was a shortage of labour to harvest it, of bull carts to haul it to the threshing floor (打谷场) , of jute (麻黄) bags to store it. Local governments in some areas were forced to shut down schools temporarily to use them as store houses.United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) observed that in 40 years between 1961 and 2001, "India more than doubled its population, from 452 million to more than 1 billion. At the same time, it nearly tripled its grain production from 87 million tonnes to 231 million tonnes. It accomplished this feat while increasing cultivated grain acreage (土地面积) a mere 8 percent." It was in India that Norman Borlaug's work was described as the 'Green Revolution.'In AfricaAfrica suffered widespread hunger and starvation through the 70s and 80s. Food and aid poured in from most developed countries into the continent, but thanks to the absence of efficient distribution system, the hungry remained empty-stomach. The then Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa wondered why the methods used in Mexico and India were not extended to Africa. He called up Norman Borlaug. now leading a semi-retired life, for help. He managed to convince Borlaug to help with his new effort and subsequently founded the Sasakawa Africa Association. Borlaug later recalled, "but after I saw the terrible circumstances there, I said, 'Let's just start growing'".The success in Africa was not as spectacular as it was in India or Mexico. Those elements thatallowed Borlaug's projects to succeed, such as well-organized economies and transportation and irrigation systems, were severely lacking throughout Africa. Because of this, Borlaug's initial projects were restricted to developed regions of the continent. Nevertheless, yields of maize, sorghum (高粱) and wheat doubled between 1983 and 1985.Nobel PrizeFor his contributions to the world food supply, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Norwegian officials notified his wife in Mexico City at 4:00 a. m., but Borlaug had already left for the test fields in the Toluca valley, about 65 km west of Mexico City. A chauffeur (司机) took her to the fields to inform her husband. In his acceptance speech, Borlaug said, "the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Yet, 50 percent of the world population goes hungry."Green Revolution vs EnvironmentalistsBorlaug’s advocacy of intensive high-yield agriculture came under severe criticism from environmentalists in recent years. His work faced environmental and socio-economic criticisms, including charges that his methods have created dependence on monoculture crops, unsustainable farming practices, heavy indebtedness among subsistence farmers, and high levels of cancer among those who work with agriculture chemicals. There are also concerns about the long-term sustainability of fanning practices encouraged by the Green Revolution in both the developed and the developing world. In India, the Green Revolution is blamed for the destruction of Indian crop diversity, drought vulnerability, dependence on agro-chemicals that poison soils but reap large-scale benefits mostly to the American multi-national corporations. What these critics overwhelmingly advocate is a global movement towards "organic" or "sustainable" farming practices that avoid using chemicals and high technology in favour of natural fertilizers, cultivation and pest-control programmes.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre. Now let’s begin with the 8 short conversations.11. W: I was shocked to hear of your wife’s illness. Is she going to be all right?M: At first, the doctors weren’t sure, but she’s really improved. She’ll be home next week.Q: What do we learn about the man’s wif e from the conversation?12. M: Excuse me. Can I get a ticket for a sleeping compartment on this train?W: Y es, there are four left. The price is 60 pounds per person including a continental breakfast.Q: What is the man doing?13. M: Janet, here’s the book I borrowed from you, but I’m so sorry that I can’t find its jacket.W: It doesn’t matter. Anyway, you are one of the few people who actually return books to me.Q: What does the woman imply?14. M: Lisa, have you been to the new supermarket yet?W: Y es, and no. I went there last Saturday for their grand opening sale, but I drove around the parking lot for nearly an hour, looking for a space before I finally gave up and came home.Q: What does the woman mean?15. W: Y ou’ve been sitting at the computer for hours. Let’s take a coffee break, shall we?M: I wish I could. Y ou know, I’m up to my neck in work. I’ve got to finish this report. I don’t want to miss the deadline.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: What do you think of this gallery space? They offered to let me exhibit some of my paintingshere.W: Are you kidding? Any art student I know would die to have an exhibition here.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?17. W: Garry, my assistant is in hospital now. Is there anyone in your department can give me a hand fora few days?M: I think so. I’ll ask around and get back to you.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?18. W: Did you read the article in the paper about the mayor’s speech of the economic form?M: Sure I did, but I think they twis ted the meaning of what he said. It’s not the first time for them to do so.Q: What does the man say about the paper’s article?长对话Now you’ll hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Oh, hello, John. Are you using your dictating machine this morning? I’ve got a long report I must dictate. Could I borrow your machine?M: Of course. But can you spare me a second? It’s the message you sent to me about delivery delay on the control desks. What’s gone wrong?W: Everything, John. We have to get the steel sheets we need for these desks from new suppliers, while, the suppliers have got some trouble or other. They say they will be a bit later for the delivery.M: But they can’t be. These control desks are a special order. They are wanted for one of the big computer companies. It’s a very important contract.W: When did it promise the delivery?M: On Thursday next week. And there’s a penalty clause. We stand to lose 10 percent of our price for each week of overdue delivery.W: Oh, these penalty clauses. Why did you sales people accept them?M: We have to accept them; otherwise, we don’t get the contracts.W: Well, let’s get on to the Buying Department. I already heard about the delay yesterday because we kept the production line clear to handle the speci al sheets. It’s a dreadful nuisance. M: It will be more than a nuisance. If we don’t meet on the delivery date, it will cost us a lot of money.W: Keep calm, John. We can perhaps claim compensation from the steel suppliers for failure to deliver on time. Then we will settle the penalty clause.M: Well, if we can. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Why did the woman send the message to the man?320. What does the woman say about the new suppliers?21. How did the man get the contract?22. What does the woman suggest they do?Conversation TwoM: Kathy, chaos theory seems to be a branch of physics or mathematics. Y ou are an economist, so how does it influence your work?W: Well, in several ways. I’m responsible for financial development programmes in many parts of the world, so forecasting long range trends and making predictions on the basis of present evidence is what I do. Chaos theory was developed by scientists trying to explain the movement of the planets and the changes in environmental conditions. Both of these things are also about making long term predictions on the basis of present evidence.M: Are many economists involved in this field?W: An increasing number. In the 1990s, many economists began to look at chaos theory as a way of providing models for forecasting.M: What kind of “models” are we talking about here?W: Well, that’s a good question, because the basic idea of chaos theory is that there aren’t any “models” as such—there aren’t guaranteed forms, but rather patterns of change in development.M: Doesn’t that mean that forecasting is impossible?W: No, but it certainly makes it more of a challenge. Mandelbrot, who did the experiment with stock exchange prices, for example, noted that although the outcomes were variable, therewere in fact certain constancy. What we have to do is make sure we know what these are andtake into account all the possible variables.M: But do economics and finance work in the same way as weather conditions or the movement of planets?W: Well, no, of course not. There are certain underlying similarities. But we have to leave them for the other time.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What is the woman’s profession?24. What was chaos theory supposed to do when it was first formulated?25. What are the speakers mainly talking about?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). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OnePeople write to ask me if there’s correlation between academic intelligence and emotional intelligence. My answer is no. Y ou can have a high IQ and a high EQ, which, of course is a winning combination, or be high in one and low in the other. The best study was done at Bell Labs in New Jersey, a very high IQ place. They do research in development for the communications industry. In the division of electronics engineers, who were designing equipment so advanced that they work in teams of up to5150, co-workers and managers were asked to nominate the standouts. The stars are in priority and effectiveness. They came up with 10 or 15 names, and that group of stars was compared with everyone else. It turned out there was no difference in IQ, no difference in academic qualifications, no difference in years on the job. The only difference was emotional intelligence. The stars were people who knew how to get along. He knew how to motivate themselves, usually the kind of people you like to hang out with. When these people run up against to a technical problem, to which they have to turn to someone else for an answer, they e-mail and get the answer right away, because they built up networks of people before they needed them. The other people would e-mail and wait up to two weeks for an answer. So you can see, how being good in the interpersonal realm actually was a direct benefit, even for effectively pursuing a technical task.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What does the speaker say about Bell Labs?27. What categorizes the stars nominated at Bell Labs?28. What does the speaker say contributes to effectively pursuing a technical task?Passage TwoHere’s the biography of John Muir. It is John Muir’s own writing to bring readers a life story of this remarkable man who did so much to raise the American awareness of the environmental issue. As America’s first environmentalist, John Muir lives his life for ever dairying for undertaking new adventures. He spent most of his days outdoors and had deep love for the wild lands. In the book, we meet John Muir to use fearless climbing the roof of his house. He captures birds only to let them go when he realizes the cruelty involved. He becomes an inventor and sells his inventions in order to attendthe university. As a young man, he began walking over tens of thousands miles during his lifetime, to the south to Florida, the west to California and north to Alaska, where readers are taking a long and particularly hair-raising adventure on a large mass of floating ice. Muir’s learning in observation throughout his life let him devote his last years to preserving the natural environment. His writing and speaking raised awareness of the importance of conservation and helped bring about our national park system. Readers may feel they know John Muir after reading his story and may catch his passion for preserving the richness of our land. The other portrait of Muir’s life has tested many for what means to be lifelong learners and to use that learning to inform and bring about change.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What kind of book is the speaker introducing?30. What do we learn about John Muir when he was young?31. What did John Muir intend to do through writing and speaking?Passage ThreeDisaster movies often portrait catastrophes that destroy, or at least threaten to destroy earth's entire population. In fact, a virus emerged in the 1970s that could've been just that fatal. Named after a river that passes through the Congo, the Ebola virus originally manifested itself in the interior of Africa in 1976. Two strains of the disease of almost identical symptoms affected humans—Ebola-Zaire and Ebola-Sudan. The Sudan version was deadly enough, killing 15% of those who were affected. However, Zaire with its 90% mortality rate was even worse. The origins, though not the cause of Ebola-Sudan can be traced back to a single individual in a Sudanese town. Ebola-Zaire seemed to interrupt in over 50 villages simultaneously. Both strains quickly invaded local hospitals when needle sharing and other7unhealthy practices ensured the rapid spreading of the infection by bringing people into contact with contaminated body fluids. If the virus had been capable of spreading through the air, or if one infected person had unknowingly entered a large population center, Ebola might have become a worldwide epidemic. However, soon after these fierce outbreaks, the virus died out, at least temporarily. Ebola was so deadly and killed so quickly that within a short period of time, there was no one around to infect. Hospital workers in at least one case deserted their workplace in panic, thus, halting administering of potentially unclean disease spreading injections, but Ebola has not disappeared. With no known vaccination or cure available, it seems only a matter of time until another epidemic erupts. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is Ebola virus named after?33. What do we learn about Ebola-Zaire and Ebola-Sudan?34. How do people get infected with the disease according to the speaker?35. What does the speaker believe?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. Now listen to the passage.The ideal companion machine would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in an agreeable manner. Those qualities that make interaction with other peopleenjoyable would be simulated as closely as possible, and the machine would appear to be charming, stimulating, and easygoing. Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant and unassuming, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own. The machine would convey presence. We have all seen how a computer’s use of personal names often fascinates people and needs them to treat the machine as if it were almost human. Such features are easily written into the software. By introducing a degree of forcefulness and humor, the machine could be presented as a vivid and unique character. Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it simulated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. Now the passage will be read again.

2013年6月大学英语六级考试真题(三)答案与详解Part ⅠWritingThe Impact of the Information ExplosionAs is known to us all, we are now living in the age of “information explosion”. That is, we are surrounded by much information. It is true that information explosion brings convenience to our life, but it also leads to the distraction of our attention.Just as the famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.” .For example, there are so many advertisements on the Internet that we are easily distracted by the irrelevant information of the target website. In addition, the information itself is of various kinds, either healthy or violent. The bad information may even arouse violent crimes.Therefore, it is high time we adopted proper methods to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information. For one thing, we can make a list of key words about what we will search on the Internet. For another, we can set a time limit for the search of the target information. Thus, the search is more effective and time is saved greatly at the same time.PartⅢReading ComprehensionSection A答案详解：36、H)。

2013年06月英语六级真题和答案

2013年6月英语六级真题及答案Part I Writing2013年6月六级作文范文一It is not exaggerating to say that habits determine how much a person can achieve. This is due to the magical power that habits have. It can redouble the effort of our daily behavior.Take this for example: if you recite one word every day, you will add 365 words to your vocabulary by one year, and 700 words by two years, and 1400 words before graduation which is by far beyond the curricular of CET-6. While if you spend two hours on playing computer games—which is far less than how much time is spent in reality for college students— you will probably get addicted to it and fail your study. This phenomenon can be easily found in the college that it is high time for us to be aware of the importance of habits. We should cultivate good habits and get rid of the bad habits such as staying up late, being addicted to games, consuming extravagantly, etc as soon as possible.Rome was not built in one day. We can accumulate a great fortune by the tiny efforts we made every day. From now on say good bye to the bad habits and stick to the good ones, we will enjoy a profitable return in the future.2013年6月六级作文范文二Good habit result…Good habits are a valuable thing and a bridge reaching desirable results. Evidently, good habits include teamwork, optimistic attitude, confidence and so on. It is well known that teamwork always leaves us less mean-spirited and more inclusive. Again, optimistic attitude and confidence can encourage us to never give up and find silver linings in desperate situations.Why should we actively cultivate good habits? For one thing, good habits can jump our trains of thought onto correct tracks, in turn, we can bypass the wrong path. For another thing, persisting what we are good at and doing even more of it creates excellence. This is where developing good habits comes in.As a result, we should take some effective steps to cultivate our good habits. For instance, we can frequently inform young people that opportunities for errors abound, so we must develop good habits to cope with them. To sum up, we cannot deny it that good habits do carry a positive connotation.Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (25 minutes)暂缺Part III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

2013年6月六级考试第一套真题答案解析(卷一)

2013年6月大学英语六级考试答案与详解（卷一）Part ⅠWriting1、审题:本篇是评论性的话题作文。

“微笑”是常谈不衰的话题，它本应是人们最自然、最常见的表情，而现代都市人大都为生活、工作、学业、子女等种种事务日复一日地劳碌奔波，背负着越来越大的压力，那种最真诚、最自然、最质朴的微笑正渐渐从人们的脸上消失。

在科技发达的现代社会，人与人之间在空间上的距离更近了，但在心灵上却越走越远。

本篇要求评论“微笑可以拉近两个人的距离”这句话并为文，而在更深层次上，出题人似乎是想借这个题目引发人们的思考，让人们通过“微笑”消除彼此之间的冷漠、仇恨、冲突，搭建良好的交流沟通和亲近的桥梁，因此这一题目开放性强，考生可发挥的空间很大。

此外，题目Drections中指出考生可以援引事例来证明观点，这为考生行文提供了一个思路，即：先陈述微笑的作用，然后援引事例予以证明，并对事例简单评述以点题，最后提出个人看法。

此外，考生也可先指出微笑可以缩短人与人之间距离的几个方面，然后指出微笑所代表的深层含义(人与人之间的信任支持、关怀友爱、宽容悲悯等真挚情感），最后再作出总结。

2、写作思路：第一段：引用特蕾莎修女的名言，指出微笑能缩短人与人之间的距离，并从三个方面体现：消融冷漠或敌意；赋予力量；拉近友情。

第二段：从不同角度举例证明微笑能缩短人与人之间的距离：绝望中抚慰心灵；陌生环境中与人亲近，获得帮助；困境中，获得力量。

第三段：总结前面所述，给出个人看法：微笑让我们受益匪浅，笑口常开促进人与人的交流，促进社会的和谐。

A Smile Can Shorten the Distance Between PeopleMother Teresa once said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”Human beings are said to be one of the few species in this planet who can express sincere sentiments through a smile. And it is a smile that melts the indifference or hostility between people, that gives power to those who are at the edge of despair, and that brings friends close to each other. In a word, it is a smile that continuously shortens the distance between people.A smile, with its strong power, brings out its miraculous glamour in different ways. When you are in the situation of despair, a smile from others will console your hurting heart. When you get into an unfamiliar circumstance, a smile will make the people around you feel comfortable and help you willingly. When you get into trouble, a smile from friends will give you power to stand up. Where there is no smile, there is no happiness of life.Seen from the discussion above, a smile benefits us very much. Le t’s keep smiling so that better communication between people can be achieved and a more harmonious society can be built.PartⅡListening Comprehension1.听力原文：W: I was shocked to hear of your wife’s illness.

you believe you are. _______ in your self-image are the _______
in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other _______
