Part III Reading Comprehension(40minutes) Section A

Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage

through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.

Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on with a single line

through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions26to35are based on the following passage.

Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves.New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues(独白)in are actually more likely to stay on task,remain26better and show improved perception capabilities.Not bad,really,for some extra muttering.

According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley,the act of using verbal clues to27 mental pictures helps people function quicker.

In one experiment,they showed pictures of various objects to twenty28and asked them to find just one of those,a banana.Half were29to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips30.Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t,the researchers say.In other experiments,Lupyan and Swignley found that31the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace,but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.

Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn,although doing so when you’ve32matured is not a great sign of33.The two professors hope to refute that idea,34that just as when kids walk themselves through a process,adults can benefit

from using language not just to communicate,but also to help“augment thinking”.

Of course,you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and,whatever you do,keep the information you share simple,like a grocery list.At any35,there’s still such a thing as too much information.

A)Apparently

B)Arrogance

C)Brilliance

D)Claiming

E)Dedicated

F)Focused

G)Incur

H)Instructed I)Obscurely J)Sealed K)spectators L)Trigger M)Uttering N)Volume O)Volunteers

Section B

Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.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

Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently

[A]The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.

[B]Well-off families are ruled by calendars,with children enrolled in ballet,soccer and after-school programs,according to a new Pew Research Center survey.There are usually two parents,who spend a lot

of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.

[C]In poor families,meanwhile,children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren’t great for raising children,and their parents worry about them getting shot,beaten up or in trouble with the law.

[D]The class differences in child rearing are growing—a symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences.Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions,especially because education is strongly linked to earnings.Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum(阶层),but not necessarily others.

[E]“Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children’s long-term social,emotional

and cognitive development,”said Sean Reardon,professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University.“And because those influence educational success and later earnings,early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow.”The cycle continues:Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children,which can leave children less prepared for school and work,which leads to lower earnings.

[F]American parents want similar things for their children,the Pew report and past research have found:for them to be healthy and happy,honest and ethical,caring and compassionate.There is no best parenting style or philosophy,researchers say,and across income groups,92%of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children.Yet they are doing it quite differently.Middle-class and higher-income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation,says Annette Lareau,whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods:Class,Race and Family Life.They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities,and teach children to question authority figures and navigate eliteinstitutions.

[G]Working-class parents,meanwhile,believe their children will naturally thrive,and give them far greater independence and time for free play.They are taught to be compliant and respectful to adults.There are benefits to both approaches.Working-class children are happier,more independent,complain less and are closer with family members,https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c1757176.html,reau found.Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems.Yet later on,the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class,while working-class children tend to struggle.Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces,https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c1757176.html,reau said.

[H]“Do all parents want the most success for their children?Absolutely,”she said.“Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions?Probably they do.Will parents

be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity?No,I really doubtit.”

[I]Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool,and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events.Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey,which was of a nationally representative sample of1,807parents.Of families earning more than$75,000a year, 84%say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year,64%have done volunteer work and62%have taken lessons in music,dance or art.Of families earning less than$30,000,59%of children have done sports,37%have volunteered and41%have taken artsclasses.

[J]Especially in affluent families,children start young.Nearly half of high-earning,college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were5,compared with one-fifth of low-income, less-educated parents.Nonetheless,20%of well-off parents say their children’s schedules are too hectic, compared with8%of poorer parents.

[K]Another example is reading aloud,which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school.71%of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with33%of those with a high school diploma or less.White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily,as are married parents.Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care,while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members.Discipline techniques vary by education level:8%of those with a postgraduate degree say they often beat their children,compared with22%of those with a high school degree or less.

[L]The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties.Interestingly,parents’attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility.Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children’s grades as long as they work hard.But50%of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree,compared with39%of wealthier parents.

[M]Less-educated parents,and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child’s education.Parents who are white,wealthy or college-educated say too much involvement can be bad.Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances. High-earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children. While bullying is parents’greatest concern over all,nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot,compared with one-fifth of high-income parents.They are more worried about their children being depressed or anxious.

[N]In the Pew survey,middle-class families earning between$30,000and$75,000a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children,participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children’s education.

[O]Children were not always raised so differently.The achievement gap between children from high-and low-income families is30-40%larger among children born in2001than those born25years earlier, according to Mr.Reardon’s research.People used to live near people of different income levels; neighborhoods are now more segregated by income.More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households—a historic high,according to Pew一and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents.Meanwhile,growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-classwage.

[P]Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink.In the past decade,even as income inequality has grown,some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting,like reading to children and going to libraries,have narrowed.

[Q]Public policies aimed at young children have helped,including public preschool programs and reading initiatives.Addressing differences in the earliest years,it seems,could reduce inequality in the next generation.

36.Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.

37.American parents,whether rich or poor,have similar expectations of their children despite different ways of parenting.

38.While rich parents are more concerned with their children’s psychological well-being,poor parents are more worried about their children’s safety.

39.The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality.

40.Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both haveadvantages.

41.Higher-income families and working-class families now tend to live in different neighborhoods.

42.Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c1757176.html,reau doesn’t believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children’s development.

44.Wealthy parents are concerned about their children’s mental health and busyschedules.

45.Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in thepast ten years.

Section C

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 with

a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions46to50are based on the following passage.

Tennessee’s technical and community colleges will not outsource(外包)management of their facilities to a private company,a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.

In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system,outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal analysis showed that each campus’spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified by the state.Morgan said those findings—which included data from the system’s13community colleges,27technical colleges and six universities—were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.

“While these numbers are still being validated by the state,we feel any adjustments they might suggest will be immaterial,”Morgan wrote to the presidents.“System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis,raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsourcing initiative.”

Worker’s advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan,saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits.Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souring plan, which has not been finalized.

Morgan notified the Haslam administration of his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week.That letter,which includes several concerns Morgan has with the plan,was originally obtained by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.

In an email statement from the state’s Office of Customer Focused Government,which is examining the possibility of outsourcing,spokeswoman Michelle R.Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents.Data on management expenses at the college system and in other state departments will be part of a“business justification”the state will use as officials deliberate the specifics of an outsourcing plan.

“The state’s facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of February,”Martin said.“At this time there is nothing to take action on since the analysis has yet to be completed.”

Morgan’s comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out against one of Haslam’s plans for higher education in Tennessee.Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor’s proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them.In his resignation letter,Morgan called the reorganization“unworkable”.

A)deprive colleges of the right to manage theirfacilities

B)make workers less motivated in performing duties

C)render a number of campus workers jobless

B)The outsourcing plan will be implemented.

C)The state officials are confident about the outsourcing plan.

Passage Two

Questions51to55are based on the following passage.

Beginning in the late sixteenth century,it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice,Florence,and above all,Rome,as the culmination(终极)of their classical education.Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour,a practice which introduced Englishmen,Germans,Scandinavians,and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next300years.Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period,possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentlemen scientists,authors,antique experts,and patrons of the arts.

The Grand Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough grounding in Greek and Latin literature as well as some leisure time,some means,and some interest in art.The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long residence in Rome.Most Grand Tourists,however,stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions,accompanied by a teacher or guardian,and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure to great masterpieces.

London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists,and Paris a compulsory destination;many traveled to the Netherlands,some to Switzerland and Germany,and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece,or Turkey.The essential place to visit,however,was Italy.The British traveler Charles Thompson spoke for many Grand Tourists when in1744he described himself as“being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history,a country which once gave laws to the world,and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting,contains the noblest productions of sculpture and architecture,and is filled with cabinets of rarities,and collections of all kinds of historical relics”.Within Italy,the great focus was Rome,whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist.Panini’s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represent the sights most prized,including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins,fountains,and churches.Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century,Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections,and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections.In England,where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit,noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative(唤起回忆的)ruins of Rome to their own country houses

and gardens.

51.What is said about the Grand Tour?

A)It was fashionable among young people of the time.

B)It was unaffordable for ordinary people.

C)It produced some famous European artists.

D)It made a compulsory part of college education.

52.What did Grand Tourists have in common?

A)They had much geographic knowledge.

B)They were courageous and venturesome.

C)They were versed in literature and interested in art.

D)They had enough travel and outdoor-life experience.

53.How did Grand Tourists benefit from their travel?

A)They found inspiration in the world’s greatest masterpieces.

B)They got a better understanding of early human civilization.

C)They developed an interest in the origin of modem art forms.

D)They gained some knowledge of classical art andarchitecture.

54.Why did many Grand Tourists visit the private collections?

A)They could buy unique souvenirs there to take back home.

B)Europe hardly had any museums before the19th century.

C)They found the antiques there more valuable.

D)Private collections were of greater variety.

55.How did the Grand Tour influence the architecture in England?

A)There appeared more and more Roman-style buildings.

B)Many aristocrats began to move into Roman-style villas.

C)Aristocrats,country houses all had Roman-style gardens.

D)Italian architects were hired to design houses and gardens.

2018年英语六级考试试题及答案

2018年英语六级考试试题及答案 PartⅠWriting 1.【题干】For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building trust between business and consumers. You can cite examples to illustrate your views. 150-200 words. 【答案】Without a doubt, a mutually-trusted relation between businesses and consumers is important for the two parties. First of all, though business is objective, cooperation is relatively subjective. Only when a consumer believe in what a businessman is selling, he or she could decide to buy something from the man. In reality, I have seen too many consumers purchase or refuse one commodity only because they like or dislike the salesman who they meet, especially when they are in a bad mood. Secondly, when one businessman consider that a customer trusts him, he would feel honored and satisfied thereby giving more preference to the customer. Naturally, when one businessman offers the best quality goods and the best prices to a customer, the customer has no excuse to refuse the businessman. Once such relation informed, both the two parties gain profit from it Hence, both businesses and consumers should work together to form a reciprocal relation. PartⅢReading Section A

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. Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more is known about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied. International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports. Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATO summits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensions and health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year. The media, including this newspaper, are giving the subject extensive coverage. Whether all that attention has translated into sufficient action is another question. Governments in rich countries now accept that their pension and health-care promises will soon become unaffordable, and many of them have embarked on reforms, but so far only timidly. That is not surprising: politicians with an eye on the next election will hardly rush

2017年6月英语六级真题及答案(部分)

2017年6月英语六级真题 作文一:国内国外上大学 Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 参考答案 Nowadays, there has been a heated discussion as to a better choice between attending college at home and abroad. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is a better choice to study in domestic colleges, but others consider it better to study abroad. I totally agree with the latter idea for the reasons presented below. To begin with, it harms the society in that the greater the competition is, the higher the recruitment requirements will become. Therefore, with experiences of studying abroad, graduates will become more competitive in job hunting. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the students themselves to study abroad. Without the choice to pursue overseas study, many great scholars today would never have achieved such great success. From my perspective, it is crucial that the government should encourage people to pursue overseas study. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of attending college abroad. Only in this way can we achieve greater success. 作文二:文科还是理科 Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to major in humanities or science, 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: Living in a world which is full of changes and challenges,we are confronted with new problems every single day. Of all the issues, one might concern the high school graduates the most, and it is if there are two options: to major in science or humanities. As for me, I prefer the latter. Why,you may wonder, should I prefer to major in humanities. The reasons responsible for it can be listed as follows . Among the most important reasons cited by people is that to major in humanities,directly or indirectly,can not only enrich our basic knowledge about the diversified culture but also sharpen one’s insight in daily routine,which is of great importance in one’s growth. What’s more, to study humanities can give us an independent personality and a deeper vision towards the world, if it were not for those two attributes, how could we achieve great goals in this dog-eat-dog world. Above all, in such a society where emphasis,more often than not,is laid on the depth of one’s thought, to choose humanities as one’s major, must be the best way .

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,
