自2006年1月开始，参加大学英语教学改革试点的学生已经试行采用改革后的六级考试，并于2007年1月全面实施改革后的六级考试。
改革后的六级考试在考试内容形式、计分方法和成绩发放方面与旧的六级考试有了明显的改变。
一、六级考试题型的变化
在试卷构成上，六级考试的改革主要体现在以下方面：
（1）听力理解部分的分值比例从原来的20%提高至35%；增加了长对话听力理解测试，复合式听写由原来的备选题型改为必考题型。
（2）阅读理解部分增加了快速阅读技能测试。
（3）词汇和语法知识不再单独列为考项，而融入了其他各部分试题中进行考核。
（4）增加了句子层面的汉译英测试。
（5）增加了构建型试题的比例，减少了多项选择题的比例。
二、六级考试新题型包含的内容
1．试卷构成
大学英语六级考试由四个部分构成：即听力理解、阅读理解、改错或完型填空、写作和翻译。
六级考试各部分测试内容、题型和所占比例如下表所示：
2．题型分解
大学英语六级考试各部分所考核的内容、题型、答题方式如下所示。
1）听力理解
听力理解部分测试学生获取口头信息的能力。录音材料用标准的英式或美式英语朗读，语速约为每分钟150词。听力部分分值比例为35%，其中对话占15%，短文占20%。考试时间35分钟。
对话部分（Listening Conversations）包括短对话和长对话，均采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。短对话约有7～8段，每段为一轮对话和一个问题；长对话有两段，每段为7～10轮对话和3～4个问题；对话部分共15题。每段对话均朗读一遍，每个问题后留有13秒的答题时间。
短文部分包括多项选择题型的短文理解（Listening Passages）和复合式听写（Compound Dictation）。多项选择题型的短文有3篇，每篇长度为200～260词，朗读一遍，每篇3～4题，共10题，每个问题后留有13秒的答题时间。复合式听写测试考生在不同层面上（从词汇到语篇层面）的听力理解能力。这部分测试采用一篇240～260词的短文，删去若干个单词和句子，全文朗读3遍。要求考生根据听到的内容填写所缺信息，所缺单词必须用原词填写，所缺句子信息既可按原文填写，也可用自己的语言表述。
2）阅读理解
阅读理解部分包括仔细阅读（Reading in Depth）和快速阅读（Skimming and Scanning），测试学生通过阅读获取书面信息的能力；所占分值比例为35%，其中仔细阅读部分25%，快速阅读部分10%。考试时间40分钟。
仔细阅读部分要求考生阅读三篇短文。两篇为多项选择题的短文理解测试，每篇长度为400～450词。一篇为选词填空（Banked Cloze）或简答题（Short Answer Questions）。选词填空篇章长度为250～300词，简答题篇章长度为400～450词。仔细阅读部分测试考生在不同层面上的阅读理解能力，包括理解主旨大意和重要细节、综合分析、推测判
断以及根据上下文推测词义等。多项选择题型的短文后有若干个问题，考生根据对文章的理解，从每题的4个选项中选择最佳答案。选词填空测试考生对篇章语境中的词汇理解和运用能力。要求考生阅读一篇删去若干词汇的短文，然后从所给的选项中选择正确的词汇填空，使短文复原。简答题的篇章后有若干个问题，要求考生根据对文章的理解用最简短的表述（少于10个词）回答问题或完成句子。
快速阅读部分采用1～2篇较长篇幅的文章或多篇短文，总长度约为1200词。要求考生运用略读和查读的技能从篇章中获取信息。略读考核学生通过快速阅读获取文章主旨大意或中心思想的能力，阅读速度约每分钟120词。查读考核学生利用各种提示，如数字、大写单词、段首或句首词等，快速查找特定信息的能力。快速阅读理解部分采用的题型有是非判断、句子填空、完成句子等。
3）改错或完型填空
六级考试的第三部分是在完型填空（Cloze）和改错（Error Correction）这两种形式中选择一种，分值比例为10%，考试时间15分钟。这两种形式的考试都是测试考生在各个层面上的语言理解能力和综合运用能力。
改错（Error Correction）共10题，每题1分。在一篇长度约250～280词的短文中有10行标有题号，标有题号的行有一个错误（不包括拼写或标点错误），可以更改、增加或删除某个单词或词组，使得短文意思正确，结构完整。
完型填空（Cloze）为一篇长度为250～300词的短文，其中有20个空白，空白处所删去的词既有实词也有虚词，每个空白为一题，每题有四个选择项。要求考生选择一个最佳答案，使短文的意思和结构恢复完整。
4）写作和翻译
写作（Writing）和翻译（Translation）部分测试学生用英语进行书面表达的能力，所占分值比例为20%，其中写作15%，翻译5%，考试时间35分钟。
写作选用考生所熟悉的题材。考生根据规定的题目和所提供的提纲、情景、图片或图表等，写出一篇不少于150词的短文。写作要求是思想表达准确、意义连贯、无严重语法错误。考试时间30分钟。
翻译部分为汉译英，共5个句子，一句一题，句长为15～30词。句中的一部分已用英文给出，要求考生根据全句意思将汉语部分译成英语。考试时间5分钟。翻译须符合英语的语法结构和表达习惯，要求用词准确。
三、计分方法
自2005年6月考试起，六级考试成绩采用满分为710分的计分体制，不设及格线；成绩报道方式由考试合格证书改为成绩报告单，每次考试后，考试委员会向总分在220分及以上的考生发放成绩报告单，报告其总分和各部分的单项分。考试委员会同时向参
加考试的各个院校提供该校考生的成绩（总分和各部分单项分）和有关该校的各种统计数据。
试点阶段六级考试单项分的报道共分为4个部分：听力（35%）、阅读（35%）、完型填空（10%）、作文和翻译（20%）。各单项报道分的满分分别为：听力249分，阅读249分，完型填空或改错70分，作文142分。各单项分相加之和为710分（总分）。
2013年12月大学英语四六级改革新题型翻译专练（附答案）（强烈推荐） 翻译题 1. 澳门，南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠，以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌，更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子，吸引着全世界的目光。自古以来，澳门就是中国的领土，中华儿女世世代代在这里繁衍生息。 早在80年代，世纪伟人邓小平就提出了"一国两制"的伟大构想。1997年7月1日，中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。今年，澳门又将彻底结束外国管治，回到祖国怀抱，这是中华民族的又一件历史盛事，它标志着中国人民向着祖国统一的伟大目标又迈出了重大的步。澳门的明天一定会更好美好。 2．和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪，人类经历了两次世界大战，生灵涂炭，经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战结束以来，世界经济能够快速增长，主要得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。 我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则，充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商，以和平方式解决国际争端。 我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员，以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全，做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办，坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作，推进国际关系民主化。 3.如果说我确实有所成就的话，那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。遇到挫折时，你可以暂时把问题放一放，一味纠结不仅无济于事，有时反倒使情况更糟。先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番；再回头看待问题，你或许会感到柳暗花明。这样做后，别忘了多加反省：“为什么这个方法会奏效？下次能不能做得更好呢？”看你定的是什么目标，这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己，最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。 4.关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说 5.在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。然而，富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。当你对一切都富有同情心时，你会发挥自己最大潜力。你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量 参考答案与解析 1.参考翻译及详解 澳门，南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠，以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌，更以1999年12月20日这个
2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析（第一套） 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. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation 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. Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 1. A) He would feel insulted. B) He would feel very sad. C) He would be embarrassed. D) He would be disappointed. 【答案】A 【解析】题目问如果男士在二手书店中发现了自己写的书，那么男士会感觉怎样。男士说到：如果他在二手书店发现了自己的书，他会认为这是种侮辱。因此选A。 2. A) They are worthy of a prize. B) They are of little value. C) They make good reading. D) They need improvement. 【答案】B 【解析】题目问男士的妻子认为他的书怎么样。男士说到：他最新的一本书是在2004年写的，当时在写的时候给他妻子看了一小部分。妻子认为他写的内容是垃圾。这表明他的妻子认为他写的书毫无价值。因此选B。 3. A) He seldom writes a book straight through. B) He writes several books simultaneously. C) He draws on his real-life experiences. D) He often turns to his wife for help. 【答案】A

With the rapid development of China’s economy in the 21th century, both public and private schools
in America are scrambling to add Mandarin to their curricula of foreign languages or expanding Chinese language programs already in place. By some estimates, as many as 50 000 children nationwide are taking Mandarin in American schools. To develop Chinese-language programs has met some difficulties. A shortage of professionally trained teachers with certificates has made it difficult for some schools to join the competition. When schools need to employ teachers, they often recruit them from China directly, which is a hidden trouble for culture clash.

六级阅读各题型有的放矢-简答及选词填空 在新六级的考试大纲中明确写出简答题和选词填空是或考题型，即每次考试考哪一道题都是不确定的，但是从改革之后的几次考察情况来看，大家或者也能感觉到哪一道题会重要些，从2006年12月开始实行新的题型，六次考试全都都考了简答题。但我们还是对两种题型做同样的分析。 简答题 考试大纲中，关于简答题的介绍如下： 简答题的篇幅长度约为400－450词，篇章后面有若干个问题，要求考生根据对文章的理解简洁地（少于10个词）回答问题或完成句子。 通常来说，简答题在一篇文章之后有五道题，这五题中问答和完成句子的数量是不确定的，有时多问题，有时多完成句子。那经过对历年真题的分析，我们发现此题的话题与传统阅读部分是非常相似的，基本上在交通、大众传媒、文化、网络这几个话题上，相对来说比传统阅读还要少一些。文章的难度相对较低，尤其是长难句的数量也有所减少。 此题难度较低，原因在于绝大多数题目都是细节题的考法，而此处不需要对原文信息进行同义替换，可直接抄写原文信息，故此题只需要进行定位即可。考生朋友把握三条原则，此题可解。 1）答案与问法一致原则。 做此题时，首先看题干，划关键词，同时还要对问法做出标记，根据问法的不同，考生的回答也应该有所不同，如2009年6月20日真题的第47，48两道题： 2）照抄原文原则 定位后，可以通过对比原文与题干，找出丢失信息，直接从原文中抄写即可，尽量不要对原文信息做改写，或调整，必要的时候也只是同一个单词的词性的变化。请看下面例题： 48. By promoting “body activism,” University of Texas psychologists aim to prevent ________. 利用划线的两处名词，可以在原文中找到如下的句子：What is surprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texas have come up with to keep girls from developing eating disorders. Their main weapon against super skinny (role) models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed “body activism.”
