2013 年 6 月大学英语六级考试阅读真题及答案
Section A
Direction ： In this section, there is a short passage
with 5 questions or incomplete stamens. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the
statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your
answer on Answer Sheet 2.
Question 47 to 51 are based on the following passage
Highly proficient musicianship is hard won. Although
’s it ’s often assumed musical ability us inherited, there
abundant evidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems 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 different to me from the other children —special, ”Michael ’s mother said of him. She may not have realized that treating her son as
special may have been part of the reason be became like that.
All in all, if you want to bring up a Mozart or Bach,
the key factor is how hard you are prepared to crack the whip. Thankfully, most of us will probably settle for a bit of fun
on the recorder and some ill-executed pieces of music-on
the piano from our children.

Section B
Directions ：There are 2 passages 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 Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 52 to 56 are based pm the following passage.
In 2011, many shoppers chose to avoid the frantic crowds
and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their
computer. Sales at online retailers gained by more than 15%, making it the biggest season ever. But people are also
returning those purchases at record rates, up 8% from last year.
What went wrong? Is the lingering shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept extravagant indulgences? Or that people shop more impulsively—and therefore make bad decisions—when online? Both arguments are plausible. However, there is a third factor：a question of touch. We can love the look but, in an online environment, we
cannot feel the quality of a texture, the shape of the fit,
the fall of a fold or, for that matter, the weight of an
earring. And physically interacting with an object makes you
more committed to your purchase.
When my most recent book Brandwashed was released, I teamed up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment
about the difference between the online and offline shopping experience. I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to
promote my book in two different ways. The first was a fairly
hands-off approach. Whenever a customer would inquire about
my book, the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and
point to it. Out of 20 such requests, six customers proceeded
with the purchase.
The second option also involved going over to the shelf
but, this time, removing the book and them subtly holding onto
it for just an extra moment before placing it in the
cust omer’s hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book, 13 ended up buying it. Just physically passing the book
showed a big difference in sales. Why? We feel something
similar to a sense of ownership when we hold things in our hand. That ’s why we establi sh or reestablish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake. In this case, having to then let go of the book after holding it might generate a subtle sense of loss, and motivate us to make the purchase even more.
A recent study also revealed the power of touch, in this case when it came to conventional mail. A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered in
a letter, as opposed to receiving the same message online.
Brain imaging showed that, on touching the paper, the
emotional center of the brain was activated, thus forming a stronger bond. The study also indicated that once touch
becomes part of the process, it could translate into a sense
of possession.
This sense of ownership is simply not part of
the equation in the online shopping experience.

Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Apparently everyone knows that global warming only makes climate more extreme. A hot, dry summer has triggered another flood of such claims. And, while many interests are at work,
one of the players that benefits the most from this story are
the media ： the notion of “extreme ” climate simply makes for more compelling news.
Consider Paul Krugman writing breathlessly in the New York Times about the “rising incidence of extreme events, ” He claims that global warming caused the current drought in America’s Midwest, and that supposedly record-high corn
prices could cause a global food crisis.
But the United Nations climate panel’s latest assessment tells us precisely the opposite. For“North America there is medium confidence that there has an overall
sli ght tendency toward less dryness” Moreover, there is no way that Krugman could have identified this drought as being caused by global warming without a time machine; Climate
models estimate that such detection will be possible by 2048,
at the earliest.
And, fortunately, this year’s drought appears unlikely to cause a food crisis, as global rice and wheat supplies
retain plentiful. Moreover, Krugman overlooks inflation：Prices have increased six-fold since 1969. so, while com
futures(期货) did set a record of about S8 per bushel(葡式耳)in late July, the inflation-adjusted price of corn was
higher throughout most of the 1970s, reaching 516 in1974.
Finally, Krugman conveniently forgets that concerns
about global warming are the main reason that corn prices
have skyrocketed since 2005. Nowadays 40 percent of corn
grown in the United States is used to produce ethanol(乙醇),which does absolutely nothing for the climate, but
certainly distorts the price of corn —at the expense of many of the world ’s poorest people.
Bill Mickbben similarly worries in The Guardian about the Midwest drought and corn prices. He confidently tells us that
raging wildfires from New Mexico and Colorado to Siberia are “exactly ” what the early stages of global warming look like.
In fact, the latest overview of global wildfire
suggests that fire intensity has declined over the past 70
years and is now close to its preindustrial level.
When well-meaning campaigners want us to pay
attention to global warming, they often end up pitching beyond
the facts. And, while this may seem justified by a noble goal,
such “policy by people ” tactics rarely work, and often backfire.
Remember how, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Al Gore claimed that we were in store for ever more destructive hurricanes? Since then, hurricane incidence has dropped off
the charts. Exaggerated claims merely fuel public distrust and disengagement.
That is unfortunate, because global warming is a real problem, and we do need to address it.

57.In what way do the media benefit from extreme weather?
A)They can attract people’s attention to their reports.
B)They can choose from a greater variety of topics.
C)They can make themselves better known.
D)They can give voice to different views.
58. What is the author ’s comment on Krugman’s claim about the current drought in America ’s Midwest?
A)A time machine is needed to testify to its truth.
B)It is based on an erroneous climate model.
C)It will eventually get proof in 2048.
D)There is no way to prove its validity.
59.What is the chief reason for the rise in corn
prices according to the author?
A)Demand for food has been rising in the developing countries.
B)A considerable portion of corn is used to produce green fuel.
C)Climate change has caused corn yields to drop markedly.
D)Inflation rates have been skyrocketing since the 1970s.
60.What does the author say about global wildfire incidence over the past 70 years?
A)It has got worse with the rise in extreme weathers.
B)It signals the early stages of global warming.
C)It has dropped greatly.
D)It is related to drought.
61.What does the author think of the exaggerated claims in the media about global warming?
A)They are strategies to raise public awareness.
B)They do a disservice to addressing the problem.

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
2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题(三)
2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析（第三套完整版） Part I Writing (30 minutes) 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. 【参考范文】 Whether to Attend College at Home or Abroad? Currently, with studying abroad gains mounting popularity among people, there is a heated debate about whether to attend college at home or abroad. Opinions on this topic vary from person to person. Some see more benefits in studying at home while others claim that studying abroad is a more ideal choice as it?s more challenging. Personally, I am a strong favorer of the latter view. Listed below are the reasons for my advice. First of all, attending college abroad provides an opportunity to broaden one?s experience and mind. You can acquire cross-cultural experiences and gain new perspectives on your chosen field of study. In addition, studying abroad helps you to polish your social skills; you can make friends with different people with different background. Thirdly, overseas studying is conducive to the formation of an independent, autonomous and tenacious personality, which will ultimately benefit the achievement of our life goals. Just as an old saying goes: “It is better to travel thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” Then studying abroad can not only enable us to reap in our books, but also in our trips. And this is why attending college abroad is a preferable selection for me.

2019年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案：Passage One答案及解析
2019年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案：Passage One答案及解析 Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”, and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the fut ure of intelligence as “crucial to the future of our civilization and our species.” Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI) at Cambridge University, a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of the open-ended questions raised by the rapid pace of development in AI research. “We spend a great deal of time studying history,” Hawking said, “which, let’s face it, is mostly the history of stupidity. So it’s a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence.” While the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI, raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a will of its own, he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring. “The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge,” he said. “We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI.

英语六级阅读真题
英语六级阅读真题 1.1990年 A．Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the “Second Industrial Revolution”. Labour?s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards. To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignment. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It is possible, however, that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working time. 21. Though labour worries about the effect of automation, it does not doubt that ________. A) automation will eventually prevent unemployment B) automation will help workers acquire new skills C) automation will eventually benefit the workers no less that the employers D) automation is a trend which cannot be stopped 22. The idea of the “improvement factor” (Line 6, Para. 3) probably implies that ________. A) wages should be paid on the basis of length of service B) the benefit of increased production and lower costs should be shared by workers C) supplementary unemployment benefit plans should be promoted

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,
