There are various ways for a student to pay his tuition and fees. To begin with, if the student is quite excellent in his studies, he can apply for scholarship. Secondly, especially in China, he can always depend on his parents for all kinds of expenditure, including living allowances. Then, he can choose to turn to the bank for a loan to pay his way through university, which he can repay after graduation. If he finds all the above not desirable, he still had another road to take-to do a part-time job and work his way through. In my case, I am fortunate enough to be born into a well-to-do family and have no difficulty having my parents pay for all my fees. But as a college student, I dislike a totally dependent existence, so I am working part-time as a newspaper-boy to help support myself. And I am also studying hard, hoping to win some scholarship or awards one day so that I can be wholly self-reliant and independent. 听力原文 Section A 1. M: I hope I wont oversleep.

Or I might get a job as a waitress somewhere till I made enough money to buy a plane ticket to return home. Q: What are they talking about? Section B Passage 1 Most people know what a hot dog is. Its a sausage in a roll. But do you know why its called a hot dog? Well, the long red sausage which goes into a hotdog is called a Frankfurter. It got its name from the German town Frankfurt. The sausages were very popular, but hot frankfurters were difficult to sell in crowds. One man, Harry Stevens, had the job of feeding the crowds in baseball games. He had an idea. Why not put the frankfurters in long, hot bread rolls? This made them easy to sell. The “red hot” had a hot and attractive taste and became very popular. But in 1903, an American cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the frankfurter so a frankfurter in a roll soon became known as a “hot dog”. It was a joke, but some people really thought the sausages contained dog meat. For a while, sales of hotdogs failed, but not for long. 11. What is a frankfurter? 12. What was Harry Stevens job? 13. Why did sales of hot dogs decrease for some time? Passage 2 We all scream for water when thirsty, but do you know in very hot, dry weather, plants also make faint soundsas if they are crying out for help? You see, in a plants stem there are hundreds of “water pipes” that bring water and minerals from the soil all the way up to the leaves. As the ground turns dry, it becomes harder and harder for the plants to do this. In severe droughts, plants have to fight to pull out any water available. Scientist Robert winter has found out that when it is really bad their water pipes snap from the tension like rubber bands. When that happens, the whole plant vibrates a little. The snapping pipes make noises ten thousand times more quiet than a whisper. Robert knows that healthy, well-watered plants are quiet. He also knows that many insects prefer attacking dry plants rather than healthy plants. How do the insects know which are healthy plants and which are not? Robert thinks that the insects may listen for the plants that cry and then they may buzz in to kill. To test his theory, Robert is using a device that can imitate plant cries. He attaches it to a quiet, healthy plant so the plant sounds thirsty. Then he watches insects to see if they attack more often than usual. If he is right, scientists could use the insects ability against them. They could build traps that imitate crying plants. So when the insects buzz in to eat, they wont buzz out. 14. What do plants do when they are thirsty? 15. What plants do many insects tend to attack? 16. What could scientists do if Roberts theory proves to be true? Passage 3 People enjoy taking trips, but what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directlyby visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris, and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picturea real-lifeone of the French people. He learns about their attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty and history. What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? he might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person, but seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway, but the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside will be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contraststhe straight vertical lines of the tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in. 17. Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage? 18. What do we learn from the passage about Paris? 19. What impression will a tourist get of Hong Kong? 20. What does the passage tell us about travelling? 2000年 6月全国大学英语六级考试答案 Part I Listening Comprehension 1. D 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 16. A 17. A 18.

A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). We have all taken, and are thus familiar with, English tests of many kinds, but so far most of them are written ones. Have you any idea of what a spoken English test will be like, and is it necessary to go to all the trouble to hold or take such a test? People differ in their answers. Many people will think it necessary. They know that although they have taken dozens, even hundreds, of English tests ever since they started learning it and many even have got surprisingly high marks, few of them can express themselves freely in spoken English, and if people cant speak a word of it, whats the sense of learning it and what do those high marks mean?Theyre none but deaf-and-mutes before the native speakers. Furthermore, with so many college graduates and undergraduates having mutes before the native speakers. Furthermore, with so many college graduates and undergraduates having passed CET4 and CET6, a test of spoken English is a further way to tell the excellent from the not so excellent. Finally, it is viewed as a new challenge to those who “live and learn”. There are, however, also people who think differently. Besides the pains in preparation for such a new kind of test, there is also the uncertainty about the reliability and objectivity of the marking system, which may depend mainly on human (and thus subjective) scoring instead of on machine scoring, as in the case of a standardized objective test such as CET4 and CET6. At the prospect of this optional test, I feel encouraged and regard it as a welcome challenge and another opportunity to improve my language ability and career potentials. I am determined to practice my oral English more often, and if I am qualified for such a test, I will not hesitate a moment to apply for it. 答案详解 Part I Listening Comprehension 1. 答案为 D 本题测试点: 要点归纳及句意推论。“check brakes and tires”，“enough money”及“Im sure its going to be a wonderful trip”等都与“trip”有 关。 2. 答案为 B 本题测试点: 同义转换: a little forgetful = a poor memory. 3. 答案为 D 本题测试点: 省略句“But it does”在上下文 中的完整意义是“But the book does include answers to the questions.”,需对对话双方话语理解，概括。 4. 答案为 C 本题测试点: 特殊省略问句 How about.的功 能意念: 通常是一种建议。 5. 答案为 B 本题测试点: until 句型及要点是归纳: I contacted this office, but. 6. 答案为 A 本题测试点: 短语 make difference 及修辞问 句“What difference does it make?”的功能意念: = I makes no difference = There is no difference. 7. 答案为 C 本题测试点: (工作)地点判断，关键词: “sports page”，“editorials”等。 8. 答案为 C 本题测试点: 信息归纳: “The man ran into (= met by chance) a friend (make) yesterday in the streets.”“Mark hasnt got any phones or letters from the woman.”“The woman has been busy in the past 2 months.”选为本题答案所需的信息。 9. 答案为 D 本题测试点: 虚拟语气的功能意念: 题中 If I were you, Id.表示一种婉转的建议。skip the movie,因 为“we both have to get up early tomorrow”“the movie isnt necessarily exciting” 10. 答案为 B 本题测试点: 关键要点辨认: We can check out as many books as we need but cant check out any reference books. Part II Reading Comprehension 本文是一篇论述 20世纪二、三十年代美国农业所面临的困境 及美国政府采取的种种措施帮助农业摆脱困境的说明文，全 文三段，第一段为背景辅垫: 美国农业面临的困境及其原因 和对农民的灾难性后果；第二、三段为主体，美国政府振兴 农业的措施，尤以第三段为重点，三十年代罗斯福总统执政 后采取的通过立法手段恢复农业经济的两个阶段的措施，前 一阶段通过 AAA法案直接减少耕地面积，并给农民有偿补助； 第二阶段在 AAA被最高法院认定为违宪后通过一系列殊途同 归的基于耕地保养原则的削减耕地、洪涝挽救措施。 21. 答案为 B 本题属要点归纳题，问及引起美国农产品需求 量走下坡路的原因，答案当在第一段第一句: 句中“as”即 是这因果关系的关键词。A 只是使这一现象加重的原因， C、D 则明显与短文内容相悖。 22. 答案为 C 要点定位理解题。根据题意，本题答案必须从 第二段确定政府采取直接干预农业供求矛盾，原则以为农民 提供更大的经济稳定性，也即预防农民破产。选项 B属第三 段内容，A 和 D明显有悖文章内容。 23. 答案为 D 本题也属要点归纳题。答案在短文第三段第三、 四句，选项 B、C 均属政府行为，而非鼓励农民自己运河做的 事。D 与短文要点相运河甚远，self-sufficient 只在第一 段提到。 24. 答案为 D 本题也属要点归纳题。根据题意，确定答案在 第三段第五句(no the grounds that.)部分，再可结合该 段倒数第二句，从另一角度论证答案 D的合理性。A 中 scarcity of farm products 在上一句，不属本题要点范围， B、C 明显不合理。 25. 答案为 D 要点归纳定位题。根据 new laws,可确定本题 问题指向第三段第二个层次。归纳该层次要点再结合 24题答 案，即可明确答案为 D.选项 B虽也似乎正确，但与本文主题 关系较疏远，故不选。 本文为一篇关于人工智能研究开发的说明文。第一段通过五 十年代人工智能先驱们的预言与当今现实脱节这一事实提出 人工智能研究开发所面临的问题，第二段前 2句论及这一问 题的症结: try to separate the most abstract levels of thought and duplicate them with logical programs.从第 三句开始进入全文的核心: 崭新的人工智能研究设想: 把人 工智能的研究与天然智能的进化、人脑生物细胞蛋白质、人 脑的神经系统研究结合起来。第三段论述了电脑生物物理 学家 Conrad对自己这方面研究的评论、发现、启示和设想。 最后一段为对这一全新的人工智能研究开发方法的评论与总 结，其中自然隐含着作者的观点与态度。 26. 答案为 D 要点归纳题。根据题意确定答案在第一段第二、 三句。注意选项 A中“are capable of reliably recognizing.”与短文中“struggle to reliably recognize.”(努力、竭力、试图)是不一致的，故不能选； 更多的考生可能会误选 C, 但在效能(performance)上，当 天电脑与 50年代的电脑相距是非常大的；本文探讨的是人 工智能，而非电脑的一般效能，故选题时要紧扣短文主题。 27. 答案为 B 要点推论题。人工智能研究开发为什么会开辟 一条全新的途径，一定是研究中碰到了难以逾越的障碍，这 就是传统研究方法上的误区，也即第二段之第一、二句。 28. 答案为 C 要点推论题。根据题意确定答案在第三段根据 Conrad对自己研究的评述(says)，研究中的发现(examples)， 假设(believe)与断言(claim)，可归纳推断他们是在天然智 能如何发展这一方面的研究中做了巨大的努力。 29. 答案为 B 作者观点态度推论题。如前所述，文章最后一 段为作者对人工智能研究新方法的总结，其中隐含着作者的 观点，另外短文第二段最后一句中“promising”、 “surely”、第三段第一句中“a huge step in the right direction.”等都流露了作者的态度一作者对新的人工智 能研究运动是非常肯定的。选项 A中的“will soon die out”，C 中的“like a game rather than”及 D中 “nobody is sure”等均含否定意念，不能作为答案。 30. 答案为 D 词语理解题。阅读中词语的理解也不能脱离短 文主题: game 一词有游戏、竞赛方法规则、策略、计谋、方 针对行动步骤等多种释义，D 是短语的简单改写，不可能作 为答案，B 重点在获奖也与短文内容相运河甚远，也应排除。 容易混淆的是选项 C, 只是 C侧重研究领域，即范围，而本 文主题讨论研究方法即途径。 本文为一篇论及(美国)私人轿车环境影响的说明文，第一段 提出了问题的严惩性与迫切性尤其对于美国；第二、三段 论及决策者及汽车工业面临的四大选择及对它们可行性的评 价，作者基本肯定了其中的第四个方案，即引入电气汽车(寻 找污染较短的绿色驱动系统)。 31. 答案为 B 要点归纳题第一段落主题。选项 A、C 和 D 均仅涉及问题的某个方面，只有 B代表了私人轿车继续增长 的真正后果。 32. 答案为 C 要点推论题。根据第一段最后一句“It is unlikely. that other nations will accept a large and growing U.S. contribution to global climatic change”，再结合上文论及轿车问题和“face. political cost”等细节，可推知答案。 33. 答案为 C 要点定位题。根据题干中的“solution”可确 定答案在第二段，又根据“best”可进一步确定答案在该段 第二句“. is the only sustainable (可持续) option”。 34. 答案为 B 要点正误判断题。要点判断各选项涉及内容可 能在短文的任何地方，但正确答案通常仍应与主题一致。A 之因果关系与短文内容(第二段倒数第二句)不一致；C 与短 文内容(第二段最后一句及第一、二句)相矛盾；D 也非短文 最后一句之本意。 本文是关于 Reebok鞋业公司营销策略的一篇说明文。第一段 概述(通过管理层之口)其公司产品的目标市场；第二段论及 其对高档消费人群这一块零售市场的营销策略；第三段论及 营销策略的另一方面精选批发商；最后一段谈市场预测及 营销决策。 36. 答案为 A 要点推论题。题干中的“managerial personnel”即为第一段的 executives, 因此可知本题答案 在第一段且为该段之主题: 目标市为多大，高层领导们当然 不希望自己的产品仅供应一些雅皮士，再由下文之 “childrens shoes for the under-18 set and walking for older customers”更可知其目标消费是多高层次的。容 易错选的选项 B侧重公司的生产策略，故不妥。 37. 答案为 D 句意理解及要点暗示题。题干引号中那部分在 第二段，答案当然应在第二段，而该段主要论及高档消费群 体的零售网只在精品专卖屋、体育用品专卖店及大百货商 场销售。 38. 答案为 A 要点归纳题。根据题干中“limit the number of distributions”确定答案在第三段该段论及即使产品供 不应求时，也要对批发商有所选择，而过运河一段时间对批 发商数量的限制主要是“out of necessity”(迫不得已)， 因为需求量出乎意料地超过了供应能力。 39. 答案为 C 要点理解定位题。题干中的“although”与短 文第三段倒数第二句之“but”相呼应，答案即为该句的复述。 40. 答案为 D 要点推论题。Nike (耐克)一词确定答案位置 在最后一段，市场预测与决策。Nike 公司正是由于当时错误 地判断了健身鞋流行的强度而导致了老产品(running shoes) 的积压而不得不打折销售一这是市场预测不准确所导致的。 Part II Vocabulary 41. 译文对许多病人来说，医院的正规护理是一种最合适、 最有益的护理方式。答案为 B 本题测试形容词语义理解，其 中 A和 C又有近形干扰。A) pertinent 相关的(=relevant)； B) appropriate 合适的，恰当的；C) persistent 坚持不懈 的，作用持久的；D) acute 尖锐的、敏锐的；剧烈的(疼痛)。 42. 译文在妇女大规模进入劳动大军所引起的变化中，发 生在妇女自己身上的变化绝不是不重要的。 答案为 A 本题 测试，形容词与名词的语义搭配。A)大规模的，大量的；B) 量方面的(与 qualitative 相对)；C) surplus 过剩的；D) formidable可怕的，令人生畏的。 43. 译文 史密斯先生在有人暗示他犯了错误时变得非常生 气。答案为 D 本题测试: 形容词语义理解。A) ingenious 机灵的；B) empirical 经验主义的，凭经验办事的；C) objective客观的(与 subject 相对)；D) indignant 生气的， 愤怒的。 44. 译文谣言四起，它传播恐惧、破坏声誉、把平静的环 境搅得鸡犬不宁。答案为 A 本题测试: 形容词上下文语义理 解，答案与句中 calm一词呼应。A) turbulent 动荡的，混 乱的；B) tragic 悲剧的，悲惨的；C) vulnerable 脆弱的， 易受影响的；D) suspicious 疑神疑鬼的。 45. 译文生与死这一永恒的周期循环是科学家和哲学都感 举的课题。答案为 D 本题测试: 形容词语义及与名词的语义 搭配。A) incompatible 不兼容的，不共戴天的；B) exceeding超越的，极度的(exceed);
