20112011 年年 6 6 月大学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版月大学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版 PartPart I I WritingWriting Certificate craze Recently the phenomenon of certificate craze has become a big concern of the public It is also a new craze in the university which seems like a routine activity on campus for certificates do play a vital role when students look for a decent job Admittedly there are different purposes behind this phenomenon Some people aim at certificates because of the employment pressure With the admission expansion of colleges a great many graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market So it is the certificates that can make them more competitive However some others consider all the diploma and certificates important standards by which a person s ability can be measured They spare no effort to get the certificates for the sole purpose of proving that they are qualified in a certain field Moreover there are those who just want to enrich their life by preparing for the certificates because they really enjoy their progress From my point of view we should be more rational when it comes to certificates since certificates do not necessarily prove one s ability Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time To conclude we should focus on improving our ability but not merely getting a certificate 文章点评 文章点评 本次六级作文探讨的是考生比较熟悉的话题 高校 考证书热 本次试题延续了以往的考试风格 关注点 仍然放在与学生息息相关的话题上 从选题角度来说 考生还是比较好把握的 需要注意的是由于第二部分 可能需要列出多点原因 考生在该部分需要注意论述 的条理性 此外 在保证句法通顺的前提下 尽可能 做到表达的多样化 首先 在考生拿到题目的时候 应该先认真审题 心 里大致对接下来文章的安排有一个底 提起证书热的 话 很多考生都会联想到就业压力 学校给予的压力 以及学生自身的需求 因此 全文可做如下安排 第一段 考生可以整体阐述一下该话题 陈述下目前 存在的考证热现象 第二段 考生可以对考证热背后存在的各种各样的目 的进行拓展 比如说由于日益严重的就业压力 以及 有的学校时不时给学生灌输的压力 或者是学生自身 从身边感受到的一些压力 都可能导致考证热的产生 第三段要求考生对于该现象给出自己的理解 考生应 在这里持一种客观的态度 因为考证本身并不是一种 错误 但是考生应当注意从题目 考证热 出发 重点放 在 热 字上 对这一现象做出最理性的评述 综合来讲 本篇文章观点明确 思路清晰 在第二段 给出的例证具有代表性 此外 文章中有用到不少的 亮点词汇 唯一比较遗憾的是 由于时间和篇幅的限 制 论证的展开还未完全挖掘出来 但在如此有限的 条件下 可以称得上佳作了 外教版外教版 The job market today is increasingly sophisticated requiring workers to have specialized knowledge in their fields As a result becoming certified is a trend among today s job seeking youth More and more people students especially look at obtaining certification as a means to getting a better job and therefore enjoying brighter future There are as many certificates as there are fields of study Lawyers will take the LSAT business majors will take the GMAT to further their study in the US and those who study a foreign language like English might take the TOEFL TOEIC or any number of English certification exams Is this necessary Or is the certification craze just a trend that will eventually pass I myself have obtained two different certifications one in Japanese N2 and another in teaching English as a foreign language TEFL Both of these certifications have been beneficial in getting good jobs Therefore it is my opinion that trend or not the results of becoming certified are real and can be invaluable in opening up future opportunities 文章点评文章点评 1 逻辑结构上 本文大体也是按照 提出问题 考证热 的现象 分析问题 背后的动力 和 解决问题 个 人的观点 的结构展开 2 本文的亮点非常多 用语非常地道 用英语思维催 动出来的英语文章 才是真正的极品 相比用中式思 维催动出来的英语文章 这篇文章是很美味的 强烈 建议大家背诵下来 大家记得 天龙八部 吗 鸠摩

of minority students 解析 全文讲的是少数民族学生的毕业率变低的问题 这也是作者对于美国高等教育所担心的一个问题 关 键词在 low graduation rate 其他的 proportion conflict 和 academic performance 都没 有涉及 故选 B 2 D its increased enrollment of minority students 解析 答案在整篇文章第一句话 Bowdoin College 的 校长引以为豪的是扩招了很多少数民族学生 而不是 学校排名 文化遗产继承 C 选项高毕业率与原文不 符 故选 D 3 B The rising generation will be less well educated than the previous one 解析 答案定位在第四段 原文内容是 there is the risk that the rising generation will be less well educated than the previous one 而 D 选项说美国将 会失去其在高等教育方面的竞争优势 这一点原味并 未提及 原文只是说美国的低毕业率问题 4 C Fifiteen percent 解析 答案在原文第四段最后一句话 only 15 of African Americans did so as well 5 B they recruit the best students 解析 尽管 C 选项和 D 选项是私立高校的措施 但哈 佛 耶鲁等名校白种人和黑种人毕业率没有差别的原 因却在于他们在选拨方面做的出色 根据原文 But may have more to do with their ability to select the best students 可知本题答案选 B 6 A Universities are to blame 解析 根据原文第 6 段 some critics blame affirmative action But a bigger problem may be that 定位到 本段最后 Amy Wilkins 的话 可知答案选 A 某些高校 只是为了追求金钱 不顾学生毕业 应该受到批评 7 B

re a little behind Could you come back in a few minutes Q What does the woman mean 答案 C She has not got the man s copies ready 解析 本题考的是文化场景 出现了 copy 等词 还是 比较基础的 原文中男生想出示收据来拿复印材料 然后女生说 we re a little behind 我们动作稍落后 意思就是还没复印好 12 W I hope you re not too put out with me for the delay I have to stop by friends home to pick up a book on my way here M Well that s not a big deal But you might at least phone if you know you re going to keep someone waiting Q What do we learn about the woman from the conversation 答案 B She was late for the appointment 解析 生活类场景题 注意对 be put out with sb 对 生气 的理解 文中女生首先对自己的迟 到表示歉意并解释原因 男生说不是大问题 但是你 至少得打个电话给我 因此 我们知道女生迟到了 13 W Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student union isn t he M Well that guy won t be able to win the election unless he gets some majority vote from women students And I m not sure about that Q What does the man mean 答案 C It won t be easy for Mark to win the election 解析 对话属于学习类场景 出现了 majority student union 和 candidate 等相关词汇 考点在于对话中的肯 定与否定类 即前面一个人提出观点 后面一个人采 取 取非 的态度 文中第一人说 Mark 是学生会主席的 不二人选 而第二人则说除非 Mark 获得了大多数女生 的选票 否则是赢不了的 因此还不能确定 14 M Sorry to have kept you waiting Madam I ve located your luggage It was left behind in Paris and won t arrive until later this evening W Oh I can t believe this Have it deliver to my hotel then I guess Q What happened to the woman s luggage 答案 A It failed to arrive at its destination in time 解析 考短对话常考场景 旅游场景 其中 hotel luggage 等单词可帮助学生直接定位 第一个人 估 计是工作人员 对旅客道歉说行李被落在巴黎了 要 到深夜才能送到 旅客说这让让她难以置信 然后要 求就把行李送到宾馆 由此可知 女士的行李还没有 到达目的地 15 W I don t think we have enough information for our presentation but we have to give it tomorrow There doesn t seem to be much we can do about it M Yeah at this point we ll have to make do with what we ve got Q What does the man suggest they do 答案 A Just make use of whatever information is available 解析 关键词 presentation 为校园场景 考点为第二 人建议题 at this point we ll have to do 明确表示 建议 将建议后的内容听出来就可以了 这里 we ll have to make do with what we ve got 意思是 我们要 善加利用手上已有的东西 16 M I am taking this great course Psychology of Language it s really interesting Since you are a psychology major you should sign up for it W Actually I tried to do that but they told me I have to take language studies first Q What do we learn from the conversation 答案 D The woman isn t qualified to take the course the man mentioned 解析 关键词 course 为校园场景 16 题为典型的第 二人 but 转折后出考题 音频中出现的 psychology 其 实不需要知道意思 前面已经有 course 来解释了 这 和六级一贯的难词前后有对其的解释的原则一致 并 且 psychology 是六级学生应该掌握的词汇 文中男 生向女生推荐语言心理学这门课 女生说她有尝试报 名 但是在参加课程前得先进行语言学习 因此推出 女生还没有资格参加该课程 17 W Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate No wonder they don t get along M Well maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said There are two sides to every story you know Q What does the man imply about Larry and his roommate 答案 A They are both to blame 解析 17 题为租房与住房类 出现了诸如 roommate get along 等词汇 并且第二人用 maybe 给出建议 作为考点 女生首先提到 Larry 对室友的说 话态度不好 然后男生提到有可能他的室友讲了些什 么 Larry 才会有如此反应 每件事都是有两面性的 因此双方可能都有责任 18 M We don t have the resources to stop those people from buying us out unless a miracle happens This may be the end of us W I still have hope we can get help from the bank After all we don t need that much money Q What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation 答案 A They are in desperate need of financial assistance 解析 18 题为商务话题 关键词 resources 考题类 型为观点态度类 答案出现在第二人 woman 回答处 出现不绝对模凌两可的词汇给出观点态度 此为本题 考点 第一人话中讲到 buy sb out 表示收购 对于这 个词不认知问题不大 后面给出了提示 表明发生了 问题 而第二人给出了建议 具体而言 第一人说情 况很不乐观 第二人说还有希望 能向银行求助 由 此可知 他们的经济状况不佳 急需帮助 ConversationConversation OneOne 听力原文听力原文 Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard W You know I ve often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom We are to feel sorry for them M Actually Laura I think we laugh because we are glad it didn t happen to us But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self important making a fool of themselves W Yes and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped you know deaf or short sighted things like that After all it s not really funny to be like that M Oh I think that s because we re embarrassed We don t know how to cope with the situation Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we may get like that so we laugh M What about the custard pie routine W What do you mean custard pie routine M You know all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person s face W That never makes me laugh much because you can guess what s going to happen But a lot of people still find it laughable It must because of the sort of the thing we d all love to do once in a while and never quiet have the courage to M I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated She said it relieved her feelings W It must have come a bit expensive M Not really She took care never to throw her best china 19 C We derive some humorous satisfaction from their misfortune 解析 从 But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self important making a fool of themselves 一句中 可知 我们会嘲笑他人的不幸 是因为我们可以从中得到一 种幽默的满足 derive from 意为得到 取得 make a fool of 意为愚弄 出洋相 所以正确答案是 C 20 C They don t know how to cope with the situation 解析 人们之所以会嘲笑胖子或身体有残缺的人 是 因为人们不知该如何处理那样的情况 文中有句有真 相 We don t know how to cope with the situation 所 以正确答案是 C 21 A They themselves would like to do it but don t dare to 解析 custard pie 意为 牛奶饼 题目问的是 为什 么人们看到有人往老板脸上扔牛奶饼 会觉得很有趣 对话中也几乎是原封不动地给出了答案 那是因为我 们也想做却不敢做 would like to do 是 love to do 的 同义替换词 dare to do 又是 have courage to do 的 同义替换词 22 C To relieve her feelings 解析 relieve feelings 意为缓和情绪 对话中提到 She said it relieved her feelings 这位男生的阿姨自己 亲口表示 当她被激怒时 会朝别人扔茶杯 来缓和 自己的情绪 而不是如选项 A 所说 to irritate them 激怒别人 所以正确答案是 C 这篇对话探讨的是心理问题 有些小抽象 但是大家 千万不要被这阵势吓到了 只要事先阅读过一遍题目 听对话时定位准确 找到关键词 很多问题便迎刃而 解啦 四个问题都是按照文章的顺序提问的 第一个 和最后一个问题如大家所料 在对话的开头和结尾部 分 所以开头和结尾仍是要严防死守之处 除此以外 同义替换词依然是重点考察项目 如 would like to do dare to do 这篇长对话虽然很多答案能从对话中 可以直接找到相对应的原句 但是在做听力时 还是 要仔细聆听 定位关键句 否则漏掉一句 做起题目 来可能就会比较吃力了 ConversationConversation TwoTwo 听力原文听力原文 W Your name Sanjay Kumar is that correct M Yes madam W You claim you are traveling on a scholarship from Delhi University M That s right W Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage Do you admit that M Yes but W According to the statement you made you had never seen the hand gun before it was found in your bag Do you still maintain that M But it s true I swear it W Mmm you do realize Mr Kumar that to bring a hand gun into Hong Kong without proper authorization is a serious offense M But I didn t bring it I I mean I didn t know anything about it It wasn t there when I left Delhi My bags were searched It was part of the airport security check W Maybe so but someone managed to get that hand gun onto the aircraft or it couldn t have been there M Someone but not me W Tell me where was your personal bag during the flight M I had it down by my feet between me and the man in the next seat M He was the only person who could have opened my bag while I was asleep It must have been him W I see Have you any idea who this man was M He told me his name Alfred Foster He was very friendly after I woke up that is He hadn t spoken before W Alfred Foster we can check that on the passenger list M He said he had a car coming to meet him He offered me a lift W Oh Why should he do that M So he can get his handgun back that s why Please find him Madam Questions 23 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard 23 D Bringing a handgun into Hong Kong 解析 suspect 的意思是怀疑 题目问 Sanjay Kumar 被怀疑什么 对话的开头 女警察便说到 Now it seems that a hand gun was found in your luggage 也就是说在 Sanjay Kumar 的包里发现了 一把手枪 由此可得出选项 D 24 D He is suspected of having slipped something into Kumar s bag 解析 从对话中 我们了解到 Sanjay Kumar 并没有 携带枪支 而是坐在他身边的 Alfred Foster 栽赃嫁祸 趁 Sanjay Kumar 睡着时 将手枪放进他的包里 slip 有暗中塞入的意思 对应选项 D 25 B Find Alfred Foster 解析 对话的最后一句已给出了答案 Please find him Madam Sanjay Kumar 请求警察能够找到 Alfred Foster 这是一篇审讯对话 在最近三年的六级长对话听力中 还没有涉及 但是审讯对话并不难 我们可以从两人 的语气 称呼中得出 如 Sanjay Kumar 称那位女士 为 madam 女士的口气也比较硬 如用了 Do you admit that tell me 等语句 这篇长对话既考察了对大 意的理解 也考察了对细节的把握 其中 24 题 更像 是一道推理题 对话中并没有明确指出 Alfred Foster 把手枪塞入了 Sanjay Kumar 的包内 但我们可以从 Sanjay Kumar 的回答中推理出相应的结论 23 25 题对细节的考察在对话中可以直接找到出处 总的来 说 第二篇长对话还是比较简单的 SectionSection B B PassagePassage OneOne 听力原文听力原文 Everyone is looking for a good investment these days And with stocks currencies and

women in this country haven t been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes For instance even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas At office meetings and in group discussions they might speak up more often express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues
