注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。
Tests may be the most unpopular part of academic life.Students hate them because they pro-duce fear and(26)about being evaluated,and a focus on grades instead of learning for learning’s sake.
But tests are also valuable.A well-constructed test(27)what you know and what you still need to learn.Tests help you see how your performance(28)that of others.And know-ing that you’ll test on(29)material is certainly likely to(30)you to learn the ma-terial more thoroughly.
However,there’s another reason you might dislike tests:You may assume that tests have the power to(31)your worth as a person.If you do badly on a test,you may be tempted to be-lieve that you’ve received some(32)information about yourself from the professor,infor-mation that says you’re a failure in some significant way.
This is a dangerous—and wrong-headed—assumption.If you do badly on a test,it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or stupid.Or that you’ll never do better again,and that your life is (33).If you don’t do well on a test,you’re the same person you were before you took the test—no better,no worse.You just did badly on a test.That’s it.
(34),tests are not a measure of your value as an individual—they are a measure only of how well and how much you studied.Tests are tools;they are indirect and(35) measures of what we know.

2014.6ment.They know they need to save,but how much?And what exactly are they saving for —to spend more time 36the grandkids,go travelling,or start another career?It turns out that husbands and wives may have 37different ideas about the subject.
The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years.Fidelity In-vestments Inc.found 41percent of the 500couples it surveyed 38on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement.Wives are generally right regarding their husbands ’retirement age,but men 39the age their wives will be when they stop working.And husbands are slightly more 40about their standard of living than wives are.
Busy juggling (穷于应付)careers and families,most couples don ’t take the time to sit down,41or together,and think about what they would like to do 5,10,or 20years from now.They 42they are on the same page,but the 43is they have avoided even talking about it.
If you are self-employed or in a job that doesn ’t have a standard retirement age,you may be more apt to delay thinking about these issues.It is often a 44retirement date that provides the cat 鄄alyst (催化剂)to start planning.Getting laid off or accepting an early-retirement 45can force your hand.But don ’t wait until you get a severance (遣散费)check to begin planning.

What If Middle -Class Jobs Disappear?
A )The most recent recession in the United States began in December of 2007and ended in June of 2009,according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.However,two years after the of-ficial end of the recession,few Americans would say that economic troubles are behind us.The unemployment rate,in particular,remains above 9%.Some labour market indicators,such as the proportion of long-term unemployed,are worse now than for any post-war recession.
6—
B)There are two widely circulated narratives to explain what’s going on.The Keynesian narrative
is that there has been a major drop in aggregate demand.According to this narrative,the slump can be largely cured by using monetary and fiscal(财政的)stimulus.The main anti-Keynesian narrative is that businesses are suffering from uncertainty and over-regulation.According to this narrative,the slump can be cured by having the government commit to and follow a more hands-off approach.
C)I want to suggest a third interpretation.Without ruling out a role for aggregate demand or for the
regulatory environment,I wish to suggest that structural change is an important factor in the cur-rent rate of high unemployment.The economy is in a state of transition,in which the mid-dle-class jobs that emerged after World War II have begun to decline.As Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee put it in a recent e-book Race Against the Machine:“The root of our problems is not that we’re in a great recession,or a great stagnation(停滞),but rather that we are in the early throes(阵痛)of a great restructuring.”
D)In fact,I believe that the Great Depression of the1930s can also be interpreted in part as an eco-
nomic transition.The impact of the internal combustionengine(内燃机)and the small electric motor on farming and manufacturing reduced the value of uneducated labourers.Instead,by the 1950s,a middle class of largely clerical(从事文秘工作的)workers was the most significant part of the labour force.Between1930and1950,the United States economy underwent a Great Transition.Demand fell for human effort such as lifting,squeezing,and hammering.Demand in-creased for workers who could read and follow directions.The evolutionary process eventually changed us from a nation of labourers to a nation of clerks.
E)The proportion of employment classified as“clerical workers”grew from5.2%in1910to a peak
of19.3percent in1980.(However,by2000this proportion had edged down to17.4%.)Over-all,workers classified as clerical workers,technical workers,managers,officials exceeded50% of the labour force by2000.Corresponding declines took place in the manual occupations.
Workers classified as labourers,other than farm hands or miners,peaked at11.4%of the labour force in1920but were barely6%by1950and less than4%by2000.Farmers and farm labourers fell from33%of the labour force in1910to less than15%by1950and only1.2%in2000.
F)The introduction of the tractor and improvements in the factory rapidly reduced the demand for
uneducated workers.By the1930s,a marginal farm hand could not produce enough to justify his employment.Sharecropping,never much better than a subsistence occupation,was no longer vi鄄able(可行的).Meanwhile,machines were replacing manufacturing occupations like cigar
7—
六级2014.6
rolling and glass blowing for light bulbs.
G)The structural-transition interpretation of the unemployment problem of the1930s would be that
the demand for uneducated workers in the United States had fallen,but the supply remained high.The high school graduation rate was only8.8%in1912and still just29%in1931.By 1950,it had reached59%.With a new generation of workers who had completed high school, the mismatch between skills and jobs had been greatly reduced.
H)What took place after the Second World War was not the revival of a1920s economy,with its
small farming units,urban manufacturing,and plurality of labourers.Instead,the1950s saw the creation of a new suburban economy,with a plurality of white-collar workers.With an expanded transportation and communications infrastructure(基础设施),businesses needed telephone op-erators,shipping clerks,and similar occupations.If you could read,follow simple instructions, and settle into a routine,you could find a job in the post-war economy.
I)The trend away from manual labour has continued.Even within the manufacturing sector,the
share of production and non-supervisory workers in manufacturing employment went from over 85%just after the Second World War to less than70%in more recent years.To put this another way,the proportion of white-collar work in manufacturing has doubled over the past50years.
On the factory floor itself,work has become less physically demanding.Instead,it requires more cognitive skills and the ability to understand and carry out well-defined procedures.
J)As noted earlier,the proportion of clerical workers in the economy peaked in1980.By that date, computers and advanced communications equipment had already begun to affect telephone oper-ations and banking.The rise of the personal computer and the Internet has widened the impact of these technologies to include nearly every business and industry.
K)The economy today differs from that of a generation ago.Mortgage and consumer loan under?writers(风险评估人)have been replaced by credit scoring.Record stores have been replaced by music downloads.Book stores are closing,while sales of books on electronic readers have in-creased.Data entry has been moved off shore.Routine customer support also has been out?sourced(外包)overseas.
L)These trends serve to limit the availability of well-defined jobs.If a job can be characterized by a precise set of instructions,then that job is a candidate to be automated or outsourced to modestly educated workers in developing countries.The result is what David Autor calls the polarization of the American job market.
M)Using the latest Census Bureau data,Matthew Slaughter found that from2000to2010the real
8—
六级2014.6
earnings of college graduates(with no advanced degree)fell by more in percentage terms than the earnings of high school graduates.In fact,over this period the only education category to show an increase in earnings was those with advanced degrees.
N)The outlook for mid-skill jobs would not appear to be https://www.doczj.com/doc/4413391043.html,munication technology and computer intelligence continue to improve,putting more occupations at risk.For example,many people earn a living as drivers,including trucks and taxicabs.However,the age of driver-less ve-hicles appears to be moving closer.Another example is in the field of education.In the fall of 2011,an experiment with an online course in artificial intelligence conducted by two Stanford professors drew tens of thousands of registrants(报名者).This increases the student-teacher ra-tio by a factor of close to a thousand.Imagine the number of teaching jobs that might be elimi-nated if this could be done for math,economics,chemistry,and so on.
O)It’s important to bear in mind that when we offer a structural interpretation of unemployment,a “loss of jobs”means an increase in productivity.Traditionally,economists have argued that pro-ductivity increases are a good thing,even though they may cause unemployment for some work-ers in the short run.In the long run,the economy does not run out of jobs.Rather,new jobs e-merge as old jobs disappear.The story we tell is that average well-being rises,and the more that people are able to adapt,the more widespread the improvement becomes.

Directions:There are2passages 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 Sheet2with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions56to60are based on the following passage.
“Deep reading”—as opposed to the often superficial reading we do on the Web—is an endan-gered practice,one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art.Its disappearance would jeopardize the intellectual and emotional development of gener-ations growing up online,as well as the preservation of a critical part of our culture:the novels,po-ems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains,quite literally, have been trained to apprehend them.
Recent research in cognitive science and psychology has demonstrated that deep reading—slow,immersive,rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity—is a distinctive experi-ence,different in kind from the mere decoding of words.Although deep reading does not,strictly speaking,require a conventional book,the built-in limits of the printed page are uniquely helpful to the deep reading experience.A book’s lack of hyperlinks(超链接),for example,frees the reader from making decisions—Should I click on this link or not?—allowing her to remain fully immersed in the narrative.
That immersion is supported by the way the brain handles language rich in detail,indirect refer-ence and figures of speech:by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if the scene were unfolding in real life.The emotional situations and moral dilemmas that are the stuff of literature are also vigorous exercise for the brain,propelling us inside the heads of fictional characters and even,studies suggest,increasing our real-life capacity for em鄄pathy(认同).
None of this is likely to happen when we’re browsing through a website.Although we call the activity by the same name,the deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are very different,both in the experience they produce and in the capacities they develop.A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less engaging and less satisfying,even for the“digital natives”for whom it is so https://www.doczj.com/doc/4413391043.html,st month,for example,Britain’s National Lit-

Passage Two
Questions61to65are based on the following passage.
Many current discussions of immigration issues talk about immigrants in general,as if they were abstract people in an abstract world.But the concrete differences between immigrants from dif-ferent countries affect whether their coming here is good or bad for the American people.
The very thought of formulating immigration laws from the standpoint of what is best for the American people seems to have been forgotten by many who focus on how to solve the problems of illegal immigrants.
It is hard to look for“the ideal outcome”on immigration in the abstract.Economics Professor Milton Friedman once said,“The best is the enemy of the good,”which to me meant that attempts to achieve an unattainable ideal can prevent us from reaching good outcomes that are possible in prac-tice.
Too much of our current immigration controversy is conducted in terms of abstract ideals,such as“We are a nation of immigrants.”Of course we are a nation of immigrants.But we are also a na-tion of people who wear shoes.Does it follow that we should admit anybody who wears shoes?
The immigrants of today are very different in many ways from those who arrived here a hun-dred years ago.Moreover,the society in which they arrive is different.To me,it is better to build a wall around the welfare state than the country.
But the welfare state is already here—and,far from having a wall built around it,the welfare state is expanding in all directions.We do not have a choice between the welfare state and open bor-ders.Anything we try to do as regards immigration laws has to be done in the context of a huge wel-fare state that is already a major,inescapable fact of life.
Among other facts of life utterly ignored by many advocates of de facto amnesty(事实上的大赦)is that the free international movement of people is different from free international trade in goods.
Buying cars or cameras from other countries is not the same as admitting people from those countries or any other countries.Unlike inanimate objects,people have cultures and not all cultures are compatible with the culture in this country that has produced such benefits for the American peo-ple for so long.
Not only the United States,but the Western world in general,has been discovering the hard way that admitting people with incompatible cultures is an irreversible decision with incalculable consequences.If we do not see that after recent terrorist attacks on the streets of Boston and London,

“Comprehensive immigration reform”means doing everything all together in a rush,without time to look before we leap,and basing ourselves on abstract notions about abstract people.

A)They all hope to gain citizenship and enjoy the welfare.
B)They come to America with different dreams and purposes.
C)Their background may determine whether they benefit the American people.
D)Their cultures affect the extent to which they will achieve success in America.
62.What does the author try to say by citing Milton Friedman’s remark?

B)Ideal outcomes could be produced only by comprehensive immigration reform.
C)As for immigration,good results cannot be achieved without good intentions.
D)The proper solution of immigration issues is an ideal of the American public.

(1)Under the circumstance of information explo-sion,we can never fail to be exposed to get informed of something.(2)Believing the saying that to see is to believe,people are likely to fall into the trap.(3)However, I insist on the viewpoint that it is wise to think twice before drawing conclusions.The reason that I hold this opinion lies in the following two aspects.
(4)To begin with,conclusions we draw from seeing or hearing are usually not reliable.Take an example of begging to illustrate this point.(5)Usually, when people encounter those beggars wearing ragged clothes and shoes,they probably tend to assume that it is poverty that reduces them to begging for a living. However,it turns out that many of them pretend to be broken so as to gain sympathy and alms from passers-by. In addition,nothing in the world is stable and unchangeable.What we have concluded might be proper in a particular period but it will not last forever.

M:They gave me some information at the district office and I took notes.It appears there are five secondary schools in Enderby—three state schools and two private.
W:I don’t know if we want private schools,do we?
M:I don’t think so,but we’ll look at them anyway.There’re Saint Mary’s,that’s a catholic school for girls and Carlton Abbey—that’s a very old boys’boarding school,founded in1672.
W:Are all the state schools co-educational?
M:Yes,it seems so.
W:I think little Keith is very good with his hands.We ought to send him to a school with good vocational training—carpentry,electronics—that sort of thing.
M:In that case,we are best off at Enderby Comprehensive.I gather they have excellent workshops and instructors.

写作 作文范文：Greed or Greet? The earth has nurtured generations of human beings, offering us with every resource to survive and prosper. Nowadays, with the explosion of population and boom of economy, human’s rel entless exploitation of natural resources has caused crisis of exhaustion of energy and resources. The remark “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” gives out a warning for us all. The ecosystem has remained balanced until man becomes obsessed with their ambition to conquer Nature and they are blinded by greed. On one hand, they are so economy-oriented that they ignore the protection of environment. Increasing pollution not only causes serious problems such as global warming but also could threaten to end human life on our planet. On the other hand, man exploits and abuses non-renewable energy and resources for the sake of developing economy. If man insists on extracting natural resources recklessly, it will be too dreadful to face the consequence. Let us remember that only when we shake off greed and heal the earth can we build a better home for ourselves and our future generations. 【快速阅读】 美国工业制造 1-7 DADAAAB 8 higher 9 the immigrants 10 doing more themselves 听力 11.

Into the Unknown The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope? Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable. For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare.
2013年6月英语六级真题及答案（文都版） Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Question 47 to 51 are based on the following passage often assumed musical Highly proficient musicianship is hard won. Although it’s evidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems ability us inherited, there’s abundant that at birth virtually everyone has perfect pitch, the reasons that one child is better than another are motivation and practice. Highly musical children were sung to more as infants and more encouraged to join in song games as kids than less musical ones, long before any musical ability could have been evident. Studies of classical musicians prove that the best ones practiced considerably more from childhood onwards than ordinary orchestral players, and this is because their parents were at them to put in the hours from a very young age. The same was true of children selected for entry to specialist music schools, compared with those who were rejected. The chosen children had parents who had very actively supervised music lessons and daily practice from young ages, giving up substantial periods of leisure time to take the children to lessons and concerts. The singer Michael Jackson’s story, although unusually brutal and extreme, is illumination when considering musical prodigy(天才). Accounts suggest that he was subjected to cruel beatings and emotional torture ,and that he was humiliated (羞辱) constantly by his father, What sets Jackson’s family apart is that his father used his reign of terror to train his children as musicians and dancers. On top of his extra ability Michael also had more drive. This may have been the result of being the closest of his brothers and sisters to his mother. “He seemed other said of him. She different to me from the other children —special,”Michael’s m may not have realized that treating her son as special may have been part of the reason be became like that.

Academic qualification, as a job a stepping-stone, is a n essential factor during the job hunting. Some people think that the highly educated must be able to find a good job, because education can prove that a person has a good capacity. Therefore, it is commonly believe
that a job seeker with a master degree must be easier to find a promising job than a un dergraduate. However, now the company interviewers generally prefer to required a even h igher academic qualification, like a doctor degree. Otherwise, the applicants, even though h e or she has tremendous potential, will be refused relentlessly. As far as I am concerned, education should not be the single standard in an interview. As for the companies, it is not necessarily a good principle as well. Now the whole comm unity often talk about working ability and efficiency. For example, some people may have high academic qualification, but actually his ability is very limited. So both the individual a nd the community ought to change their attitude on academic qualification.

Conversation One M: And now, for the latter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste. W: That’s right, John. This week, the Italian government passed legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food waste in the country. Q1:New laws have been put into place that will make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate and sell foods to those who are in need. M: Yes, in an addition to this, businesses will now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste. W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, Q2:the European parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste. M: In France, Q3:the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations. W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United Sates, up to 40% of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, Q4:one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government. M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a

2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析（第一套完整版） Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 Whether to Attend a Vocational College or a University? It’s an undisputable truth that virtually all high school graduates will encounter the choices between a vocational college and a university. And when it comes to this question, students’ ideas are not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to choose and what to be taken into consideration, my advices are as follow. In the first place, we should be conscious of the fact that both of the two choices have its own superiorities. For instance, a vocational college specializes in cultivating human resources with practical capabilities; while a university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in different fields. Then it does follow that high school graduates should have a clear picture of themselves. That is to say, they should know their merits and demerits and their choices must give play to their strengths whilst circumvent weaknesses. In addition, interest is the best teacher and it’s also the premise of learning on one’s own initiative. Thus interest must be taken into account because it can not only decide how far one can reach academically and professionally but also how happy and fulfilled one will be. In brief, all above just goes to show that there really is no one-size-fits-all answer for the question. The key lies in a clear cognition, accurate self-positioning and the interest of oneself. Only then can every one find a right path that works best for us. Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.
