Conversation One

M: Guess what? The worst food I've ever had was in France.

W: Really? That's odd. I thought the French were all good cooks.

M: Yes. That's right. I suppose it's really like anywhere else, though. You know, some places are good. Some bad. But it's really all our own fault.

W: What do you mean?

M: Well, it was the first time I'd been to France. This was years ago when I was at school. I went there with my parents' friends, from my father's school. They'd hired a coach to take them to Switzerland.

W: A school trip?

M: Right. Most of them had never been abroad before. We'd crossed the English Channel at night, and we set off through France, and breakfast time arrived, and the coach driver had arranged for us to stop at this little café. There we all were, tired and hungry, and then we made the great discovery.

W: What was that?

M: Bacon and eggs.

W: Fantastic! The real English breakfast.

M: Yes. Anyway, we didn't know any better— so we had it, and ugh...!

W: What was it like? Disgusting?

M: Oh, it was incredible! They just got a bowl and put some fat in it. And then they put some bacon in the fat, broke an egg over the top and put the whole lot in the oven for about ten minutes.

W: In the oven! You're joking. You can't cook bacon and eggs in the oven!

M: Well. They must have done it that way. It was hot, but it wasn't cooked. There was just this egg floating about in gallons of fat and raw bacon.

W: Did you actually eat it?

M: No! Nobody did. They all wanted to turn round and go home. You know, back to teabags and fish and chips. You can't blame them really. Anyway, the next night we were all given another foreign speciality.

W: What was that?

M: Snails. That really finished them off. Lovely holiday that was!

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Question 1. What did the woman think of the French?

Question 2. Who did the man travel with on his first trip to Switzerland?

Question 3. What does the man say about the breakfast at the little French café?

Question 4. What did the man think of his holiday in France?

Conversation Two

M: You say your shop has been doing well. Could you give me some idea of what “doing well” means in facts and figures?

W: Well, “doing well” means averaging £1,200 or more a week for about 7 years, making almost a quarter of a million pounds. And “doing well” means your earnings are rising. Last year, we did slightly over 50,000 and this year, we hope to do more than 60,000. So, that's good if we continue to rise.

M: Now, that's gross earnings, I assume. What about your expenses?

W: Yes, that's gross. The expenses, of course, go up steadily. And since we've moved to this new shop, the expenses have increased greatly, because it's a much bigger shop. So I couldn't say exactly what our expenses are. They are something in the region of six or seven thousand pounds a year, which is not high. Commercially speaking, it's fairly low, and we try to keep our expenses as low as we can.

M: And your prices are much lower than the same goods in shops round about. How do the local shopkeepers feel about having a shop doing so well in their midst?

W: Perhaps a lot of them don't realize how well we are doing, because we don't make a point of publicizing. That was a lesson we learned very early on. We were very friendly with all local shopkeepers and we happened to mention to a local shopkeeper how much we had made that week. He was very unhappy and never as friendly again. So we make a point of never publicizing the amount of money we make. But we are on very good terms with all the shops. None of them have ever complained that we are putting them out of business or anything like that. I think it's a nice friendly relationship. Maybe if they did know what we made, perhaps they wouldn't be so friendly.

Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Question 5. What are the speakers mainly talking about?

Question 6. What does the woman say her shop tries to do?

Question 7. What do we learn about the goods sold at the woman's shop?

Question 8. Why doesn't the woman want to make known their earnings anymore?

Passage One

Birds are famous for carrying things around.

Some, like homing pigeons, can be trained to deliver messages and

packages.

Other birds unknowingly carry seeds that cling to them for the ride.

Canadian scientists have found a worrisome, new example of the power that birds have to spread stuff around.

Way up north in the Canadian Arctic, seabirds are picking up dangerous chemicals in the ocean and delivering them to ponds near where the birds live.

Some 10,000 pairs of the birds, called fulmars, a kind of Arctic seabird, make their nests on Devon Island, north of the Arctic Circle.

The fulmars travel some 400 kilometers over the sea to find food.

When they return home, their droppings end up all around their nesting sites, including in nearby ponds.

Previously, scientists noticed pollutants arriving in the Arctic with the wind.

Salmon also carry dangerous chemicals as the fish migrate between rivers and the sea.

The bodies of fish and other meat-eaters can build up high levels of the chemicals.

To test the polluting power of fulmars, researchers collected samples of deposit from 11 ponds on Devon Island.

In ponds closest to the colony, the results showed there were far more pollutants than in ponds less affected by the birds.

The pollutants in the ponds appear to come from fish that fulmars eat when they're out on the ocean.

People who live, hunt, or fish near bird colonies need to be careful, the researchers say.

The birds don't mean to cause harm, but the chemicals they carry can cause major problems.

Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 9. What have Canadian scientists found about some seabirds?

Question 10. What does the speaker say about the seabirds called fulmars?

Question 11. What did scientists previously notice about pollutants in the Arctic?

Question 12. What does the speaker warn about at the end of the talk?

Passage Two

In recent years, the death rate among American centenarians— people who have lived to age 100 or older— has decreased, dropping 14 percent for women and 20 percent for men from 2008 to 2014.

The leading causes of death in this age group are also changing.

In 2000, the top five causes of death for centenarians were heart disease, stroke, flu, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

But by 2014, the death rate from Alzheimer's disease for this age group had more than doubled— increasing from 3.8 percent to 8.5 percent— making the progressive brain disease the second leading cause of death for centenarians.

One reason for the rise in deaths from Alzheimer's disease in this group may be that developing this condition remains possible even after people beat the odds of dying from other diseases such as cancer.

People physically fit enough to survive over 100 years ultimately give in to diseases such as Alzheimer's which affects the mind and cognitive function.

In other words, it appears that their minds give out before their bodies do.

On the other hand, the death rate from flu dropped from 7.4 percent in 2000 to 4.1 percent in 2014.

That pushed flu from the third leading cause of death to the fifth.

Overall, the total number of centenarians is going up.

In 2014, there were 72,197 centenarians, compared to 50,281 in 2000.

But because this population is getting larger, the number of deaths in this group is also increasing— 18,434 centenarians died in 2000, whereas 25,914 died in 2014.

Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 13. What does the speaker say about the risk of dying for American centenarians in recent years?

Question 14. What does the speaker say about Alzheimer's disease?

Question 15. What is characteristic of people who live up to 100 years and beyond?

Recording One

Okay. So let's get started.

And to start things off I think what we need to do is consider a definition.

I'm going to define what love is but then most of the experiments I'm going to talk about are really focused more on attraction than love.

And I'm going to pick a definition from a former colleague, Robert Sternberg, who is now the dean at Tufts University but was here on our faculty at Yale for nearly thirty years.

And he has a theory of love that argues that it's made up of three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment, or what is sometimes called

decision commitment.

And these are relatively straightforward.

He argued that you don't have love if you don't have all three of these elements.

Intimacy is the feeling of closeness, of connectedness with someone, of bonding.

Operationally, you could think of intimacy as you share secrets, you share information with this person that you don't share with anybody else.

Okay. That's really what intimacy is, the bond that comes from sharing information that isn't shared with other people.

The second element is passion.

Passion is the drive that leads to romance.

You can think of it as physical attraction.

And Sternberg argues that this is a required component of a love relationship.

The third element of love in Sternberg's theory is what he calls decision commitment, the decision that one is in a love relationship, the willingness to label it as such, and a commitment to maintain that relationship at least for some period of time.

Sternberg would argue it's not love if you don't call it love and if you don't have some desire to maintain the relationship.

So if you have all three of these, intimacy, passion and commitment, in Sternberg's theory you have love.

Now what's interesting about the theory is what do you have if you only have one out of three or two out of three.

What do you have and how is it different if you have a different two out of three?

What's interesting about this kind of theorizing is it gives rise to many different combinations that can be quite interesting when you break them down and start to look them carefully.

So what I've done is I've taken Sternberg's three elements of love, intimacy, passion and commitment, and I've listed out the different kinds of relationships you would have if you had zero, one, two or three out of the three elements.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.

Question 16. What does the speaker say about most of the experiments mentioned in his talk?

Question 17. What does Robert Sternberg argue about love?

Question 18. What question does the speaker think is interesting about Sternberg's three elements of love?

Hi! I am Elizabeth Hoffler, Master of Social Work.

I am a social worker, a lobbyist, and a special assistant to the executive director at the National Association of Social Workers.

Today we are going to be talking about becoming a social worker.

Social work is the helping profession.

Its primary mission is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic needs of all people, with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty.

We often deal with complex human needs.

Social work is different from other professions, because we focus on the person and environment.

We deal with the external factors that impact a person's situation and outlook.

And we create opportunity for assessment and intervention, to help clients and communities cope effectively with their reality and change that reality when necessary.

In thousands of ways social workers help other people, people from every age, every background, across the country.

Wherever needed, social workers come to help.

The most well-known aspect of the profession is that of a social safety net.

We help guide people to critical resources and counsel them on life-changing decisions.

There are more than 600,000 professional social workers in the country, and we all either have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, or a PhD in Social Work.

There are more clinically trained social workers than clinically trained psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses combined.

Throughout this series you will learn more about the profession, the necessary steps to get a social work degree, the rich history of social work, and the many ways that social workers help others.

Later in this series, you will hear from Stacy Collins and Mel Wilson, fellow social workers at the National Association of Social Workers.

Stacy is going to walk you through the step-by-step process of becoming a social worker, and Mel will tell you about the range of options you have once you get your social work degree, as well as the high standards of responsibility he social workers must adhere to.

The National Association of Social Workers represents nearly 145,000 social workers across the country.

Our mission is to promote, protect, and advance the social work profession.

We hope you enjoy this series about how you can make a difference by becoming a social worker.

Next, we are going to talk about choosing social work.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.

Question 19. What does the speaker mainly talk about?

Question 20. What do social workers mainly do?

Question 21. What do professional social workers have in common, according to the speaker?

Question 22. What is Mel Wilson going to talk about in the series?

Recording Three

Today, I'd like to talk about what happens when celebrity role models get behind healthy habits, but at the same time, promote junk food.

Currently, there's mounting criticism of Michelle Obama's “Let's Move!”campaign, which fights childhood obesity by encouraging youngsters to become more physically active, and has signed on singer Beyoncé and basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, both of whom also endorse sodas, which are a major contributor to the obesity epidemic.

Now there's a lot more evidence of how powerful a celebrity— especially a professional athlete— can be in influencing children's behavior.

In a report published by the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, researchers studied 100 professional athletes and their endorsement contracts.

The team focused on athletes since they are theoretically the best role models for active, healthy lifestyles for children.

After sorting the deals by category, they determined that among the 512 brands associated with the athletes, most involved sporting goods, followed closely by food and beverage brands.

Sports drinks, which are often high in sugar and calories made up most of the food and drink deals, with soft drinks and fast food filling out the remainder.

Of the 46 beverages endorsed by professional athletes, 93% relied exclusively on sugar for all of their calories.

It's no surprise that high-profile athletes can influence children's eating behaviors, but the scientists were able to quantify how prevalent these endorsements are in the children's environment.

Advertisements featuring professional athletes and their endorsed products tend to get impressive exposure on TV, radio, in print and online.

And in 2010, the researchers reported that children ages 12 to 17 saw more athlete-endorsed food and beverage brand commercials than adults.

One reason any campaign wants a popular celebrity spokesperson is because kids are attracted to them no matter what they are doing.

We can't expect kids to turn off that admiration when the same person is selling sugar.

At best, kids might be confused.

At worst, they'll think the messages about soda are the same as the messages about water, but those two beverages aren't the same.

If children are turning to athletes as role models, it's in their best interest if their idols are consistent.

Consistent messaging of positive behaviors will show healthier lifestyles for kids to follow.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.

Question 23. What is the aim of Michelle Obama's campaign?

Question 24. What does research find about advertisements featuring professional athletes?

Question 25. What does the speaker think kids' idols should do?

对话一

男:你猜怎么着?我吃过的最难吃的食物是在法国吃的。

女:真的?奇怪了。我以为法国人都是好厨师呢。

男:是的,没错。不过,我想这真的像其他任何地方一样。你知道的,有些地方赞,有些地方差。但这确实是我们的问题。

女:什么意思?

男:记得我第一次去法国是几年前还在上学的时候。我和我父母的朋友们一起去的,从我父亲的学校出发。他们雇了一辆长途汽车带他们去瑞士。

女:是学校旅行?

男:是的。他们其中的大部分人从未出过国。晚上我们穿过英吉利海峡,我们出发穿过法国时早餐时间到了,教练司机安排我们停在这个小咖啡馆。我们都很疲惫饥饿,然后我们有了

女:是什么?

男:培根和鸡蛋。

女:太棒啦!真正的英式早餐。

男:是的,不管怎样,我们也不知道还有什么更好的——因此我们吃了,结果呃...!

女:怎么样?恶心?

男:是难以想象!他们只是拿了一个碗,把肥肉放了进去。然后他们把一些培根放在肥肉里,打个鸡蛋在顶上,把整个东西放在烤箱里约十分钟。

女:放在烤箱里!你在开玩笑吧。培根和鸡蛋可不能放在烤箱里烤的!

男:他们一定就是这么做的。它很烫,但是却没熟。鸡蛋在大量肥肉和生培根里流淌。女:你真的吃了吗?

男:没有!没人吃了。他们都想转身回家。你懂的,茶包和鱼,还有薯条。其实你也不能怪他们。不管怎样,第二晚我们都放弃了另一种外国特产。

女:是什么?

男:蜗牛。那真是彻底把他们打败了。这假期真是有够赞的!

对话二

男:你说你的商店经营不错。你能跟我说说“经营不错”所指的事实和数据吗?

女:“经营不错”意味着大致7年内平均每周收入1200英镑或更多,几乎达到了25万英镑。“经营不错”意味着你的盈利在增长。去年,我们稍稍超出5万,今年我们希望超过6万。因此,如果我们继续增长就很好。

男:我猜目前这是毛收入。你们的开支怎样呢?

女:是的,是毛利。开支当然也是稳步增加了。因此我们搬到了这个新店,开支就增加了很多,因为这是个大得多的店。因此我无法确切说出我们的开支。大概是在一年6千到7千之间,并不高。从商业角度来说,这个数字相当低,我们尽量把费用尽可能的降低了。

男:你的价格比商店里的同种商品低很多。当地的店主如何看待他们之中有一家商店做的这么好?

女:也许他们中的很多没有意识到我们做的有多好,因为我们不重视宣传。这是我们很早就学到的教训。我们对所有当地的店主非常友好,我们恰好跟一个当地的店主提到那周赚了多少。他非常不开心,再也不友好了。所以我们特别注意从不公布我们所赚取的金额。但是我们和所有的商店都相处很好。他们中没有一个人曾经抱怨说我们把他们挤出市场或者其它此类言论。我认为这是一个很好友好的关系。如果他们知道我们做了什么,也许他们就不会那

鸟类以搬运东西而闻名。

有些像信鸽一样,可以接受培训以传递消息和包裹。

其它鸟类在不知不觉中携带了粘附着它们的种子。

加拿大科学家发现了一个令人担忧的事实,即鸟类所拥有的传播的力量的新例子。

在加拿大北极的北部,海鸟正在海洋中拾起危险化学品,并将其运送到靠近鸟类生活地的池塘。

北极圈北部的德文岛上有一万只鸟在此筑巢,它们被称为管鼻藿,一种北极海鸟。

这些管鼻藿在海上穿越约四百公里去寻找食物。

当他们回家时,他们的粪便会围绕着他们的筑巢地点,包括附近的池塘。

以前,科学家注意到有随着风抵达北极的污染物。

随着鱼类在海洋之间的迁徙,三文鱼也会携带危险化学品。

鱼类和其他肉食者的尸体可以积累高含量的化学物质。

为了测试污染物的污染力,研究人员从德文岛的11个池塘收集了沉积物样本。

在最靠近栖息地的池塘中,结果显示污染物远远高于不受鸟类影响的池塘。

池塘中的污染物似乎来自管鼻藿在海洋里吃的鱼类。

研究人员说,在禽鸟群附近生活,狩猎或捕鱼的人需要小心。

鸟类不意味着会造成伤害,但它们携带的化学物质可能会导致重大问题。

问题9到12基于你刚刚听到的段落。

近年来,美国百岁老人(百岁及以上的人)的死亡率下降了,从2008年到2014年,女性下降了14%,男性下降了20%。

这个年龄段的主要死亡原因也在变化。

2000年,百岁老人的五大死因是心脏病,中风,流感,癌症和阿尔茨海默症。

但到2014年,这一年龄段的阿尔茨海默症死亡率已经从3.8%增加到了8.5%,使得渐近脑疾病成为百岁老人死亡的第二大原因。

在这个组中阿尔茨海默症死亡人数上升的一个原因可能是即使在人们罹患其他疾病如癌症的可能性之后,发展到这种病症也是可能的。

活过100岁的身体足够健康的人,最终会因阿尔茨海默病等疾病导致影响心理和认知功能。换句话说,似乎他们的心智比身体先失灵。

另一方面,流感的死亡率则从2000年的7.4%下降到2014年的4.1%。

这将流感从第三大死因推向了第五大。

总的来说,百岁老人的总数正在上升。

2014年,有72197名百岁老人,而2000年有50281人。

但由于这个群体越来越大,本组死亡的人数也在增长- 18,434名百岁老人在2000年去世,而在2014年去世的25914人。

问题13到15基于你刚刚听到的段落。

问题13.演讲者对近年来美国百岁老人死亡的风险有甚么看法?

问题14.演讲者对阿尔茨海默氏症有什么看法?

问题15.百岁及以上老人的特征是什么?

好的,我们开始吧。

开始我们需要做的是思考一个定义。

我要定义什么是爱,但是我将要讨论的大多数实验真的更多地专注于吸引力而不是爱。

而我将从前同事罗伯特·斯登伯格那里选出一个定义,罗伯特·斯特伯格现在是塔夫茨大学的院长,担任耶鲁大学教职员工近三十年。

他有一个爱的理论,认为它由三个部分组成:亲密,激情和承诺,或有时被称为决策承诺。这些都比较简单。

他认为,如果你这三个元素都没有的话,你就没有爱。

亲密是亲密的感觉,与某人的联系,羁绊的感觉。

在操作上,你可以在分享秘密时考虑亲密关系,你与这个人分享不会与其他人分享的信息。好的。这才是真正的亲密,纽带来源于分享不与别人分享的信息。

第二个元素是激情。

激情是浪漫的驱动力。

你可以把它看作身体吸引力。

而斯特伯格认为,这是爱情的必要组成部分。

斯特伯格理论中爱的第三个要素就是他所谓的决策承诺,是身处爱情的决定,这个决定的意愿,以及至少在一段时间内保持这种关系的承诺。

斯登伯格认为,如果你不称之为爱,不愿意维持关系,那就不是爱。

所以,如果你有这三个,亲密,激情和承诺,在斯登伯格的理论你有爱。

现在,理论有趣的地方在于如果你只有三个其中的一个或是两个的话你拥有什么。

你拥有什么并且如果你有三个中的两个会有什么区别呢?

这种理论有趣的是,它会产生许多不同的组合,当你将其拆开开始仔细查看时,可能会非常有趣。

所以我采取了斯登伯格的爱的三个要素,亲密,激情和承诺,我已经列出了你会有的不同种类的关系——三要素中的0个,1个,2个或者3个。

问题16到18基于你刚刚听到的录音。

问题16.演讲者对讲话中提到的大多数实验有什么看法?

问题17.罗伯特·斯特伯格对爱有什么看法?

问题18.演讲者认为对斯登伯格三大要素的什么问题有趣?

社会工作是帮助性职业。

其主要任务是增强人的福祉,帮助满足所有人的基本需要,特别注重弱势、受压迫和生活贫困的人。

我们经常处理复杂的人类需求。

社会工作与其他专业不同,因为我们专注于人与环境。

我们处理影响一个人的情况和前景的外部因素。

我们为评估和干预创造了机会,帮助客户和社区有效应对现实,在必要时改变现实。

社会工作者以数千种方式帮助其他人——各个时代,各个背景,全国各地的人们。

有需要的时候,社会工作者就会来帮忙。

该行业最为人所知的一个方面是社会安全网。

我们帮助引导人们掌握关键性资源,并向他们提供有关改变生活的决定。

全国有60多万名专业社会工作者,我们都有本科学历,硕士学位或社会工作博士学位。

临床训练有素的社会工作者比临床训练精神科医生、心理学家和精神科护士更多。

今天,我想谈一谈名人榜样支持健康习惯,但同时推广垃圾食品会发生什么。

目前,很多人批评米歇尔·奥巴马的“让我们走!”运动,该运动通过鼓励儿童身体变得更加活跃来抵制儿童肥胖,并且已经签下了歌手碧昂丝和篮球员沙奎尔·奥尼尔,他们都为苏打水——肥胖症的主要贡献者做广告。

现在有更多的证据表明一个名人,特别是一个职业运动员,可以影响孩子的行为。

研究人员在耶鲁大学路德食品政策和肥胖中心发布的一份报告中研究了100名专业运动员及其广告合同。

团队专注于运动员,因为他们在理论上是儿童活跃、健康生活方式的最佳榜样。

在按类别分类之后,他们确定在与运动员相关的512个品牌中,大多数涉及运动用品,紧随其后的是食品和饮料品牌。

高糖和卡路里的运动饮料通常占据了大部分食品和饮料的份额,软饮料和快餐填补了剩余。在专业运动员认可的46种饮料中,93%完全依赖糖来摄取全部热量。

高调的运动员可以影响儿童的饮食习惯并不奇怪,但科学家们能够量化这些代言人在儿童环境中的流行程度。

专业运动员及其认可产品的广告往往会在电视,收音机,印刷品和网络上曝光。

而在2010年,研究人员报告说,12至17岁的儿童看到的运动员认可的食品和饮料品牌广告比成年人更多。

任何活动都想要一个受欢迎的名人来担任发言人的一个原因是,无论他们在做什么孩子都会被他们吸引。

当同一个人卖糖时,我们不能指望孩子们停止这种钦佩。

最好的情况是孩子们可能会感到困惑。

最糟糕的是,他们会认为关于苏打水的信息与关于水的消息相同,但是这两种饮料是不一样的。

如果孩子们将运动员当作榜样,那么如果他们的偶像是始终如一的,那对儿童来说就是最有利的。

积极行为的一致信息会给孩子们展示更健康的生活方式以便追随。

问题23至25基于你刚刚听到的录音。

问题23.米歇尔奥巴马运动的目标是什么?

问题24.研究发现了专业运动员广告的什么?

问题25.演讲者认为孩子的偶像应该怎么做?

And then they put some bacon in the fat, broke an egg over the top and put the whole lot in the oven for about ten minutes. W: In the oven! You're joking. You can't cook bacon and eggs in the oven! M:Well. They must have done it that way. It was hot, but it wasn't cooked. There was just this egg floating about in gallons of fat and raw bacon. W: Did you actually eat it? M: No! Nobody did. They all wanted to turn round and go home. You know, back to teabags and fish and chips. You can't blame them really. Anyway, the next night we were all given another foreign speciality. W: What was that? M: Snails. That really finished them off. Lovely holiday that was! Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. Question 1.

2016年12月CET6大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析【官方完整版】 Part I 写作Writing (30 minutes) Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation. We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination. In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off. 【参考译文】 众所周知创新意味着有创造力,独一无二和不同。事实上,今天我们已经很难想想一个没有创新的21世纪。 我们应该重视创新首先是因为创新精神可以让一个人完善自身,这样他才能具备见他人所未见的能力,未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步,才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外,我们也应该重视创新在经济发展方面的作用。在这个多变的时代,创新对于经济增长就像水对于鱼一样重要。换言之,如果我们以任何可能的形式无视创新的重要性,我们将遭受非常巨大的损失。 为了鼓励创新,应该采取一些且行之有效的措施。例如,大众传媒应该大力宣传创新精神的重要性,并且鼓励公众养成创新的意识。此外,对于那些想法设法进行创新的人要给予丰厚的奖励。虽然还有很长的路要走,但是我坚信大家共同付出的努力会得到回报。

2019年6月大学英语六级翻译练习题:城市化进程

2019年6月大学英语六级翻译练习题:城市化进程2019年6月大学英语六级翻译练习题库 英语六级翻译练习题:城市化进程 中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。一些经济学家指出,在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得很多人的生活水平有所提升,也为人们提供更多的就业机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙,住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。 参考译文 China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people,and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.

The Chinese people treat their offspring with love, kindness and strictness, embodying a strong sense of moral responsibility. The tradition of respecting the old and taking care of the young has been carried forward in modern times. At present, the old and the young in China have their own legal holidays—Elders’ Day and Children’s Day. Besides, the government has issued specific laws to protect women and children; and some laws also stipulate in explicit terms that Chinese citizens have obligations to support parents and rear children. 要点点拨: 1.四大文明古国:four ancient civilizations 2.尊老爱幼:respect the old and care for the young 3.道德责任感:a sense of moral responsibility 4.发扬:carry forward 5.法定节日:legal holiday 6.赡养父母、抚养子女:support parents and rear children Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

But it is gradually disappearing in the process of economic

development in China. It is said that this folk drt was formed in the Song Dynasty; at that time it wan called opera candy. The Sugar Figure Blowing Art uses sugar as its basic material, and the artists have their own ways to boil sugar and blow it into various figures. Artists heat up sugar to proper temperature, then pull some syrup and knead it to a ball. Then they make different shapes by using different skills and paint bright colors on the figures. This art is really a combination of hand, eye, heart, breath, and the timing of temperature skill.If there is one skill you couldn’t perform well, the whole procedure will be a failure. 1.历史悠久:可译为have a long history. 2.戏剧糖果:可译为opera candy. 3.以糖作为基本材料:可译为uses sugar as its basicmaterial。 以上就是文都四六级考试网小编为各位考生总结的英语六级翻译训练,希望各位考生多多练习,争取在2016年12月的英语四六级考试中取得好成绩。
