1 此次六级考试作文的话题依然是老生常谈,即通往成功的道路,相信很多考生对此并不陌生,背过范文的同学写起来肯定也是得心应手。 该范文段落结构清晰,阐释说理也足以让人信服,是一篇不错的作文。 开篇作者通过引用爱迪生关于天才的一句名言来引出问题,吸引读者注意,引起读者的思考。紧随其后,作者就开门见山地亮出了自己的观点:只有坚强的意志和不懈的努力才能打开成功的大门。 第二段,作者同样以一个问题来引领全段,引发思考。然后通过对比不成功和最终成功的人的不同表现,来阐释坚强的意志对获得成功的重要作用。 第三段,作者进一步阐释“仅有坚强的意志,没有实在的努力,也能成功吗?”同样是先发问,然后举了爱迪生的事例,来证明答案是否定的。举名人的例子,而非个人的实例来作为文章的论据才更有说服力,这也是这篇作文的高明之处。 最后一段,作者先以第一句话进行了总结,然后为了加强作文结尾的力度,作者还对名言“Wherethereisawill,thereisway”进行了改编,换成了自己的观点,为我所用,这也是本篇范文的一个两点之处。注意,写作文时对名言进行恰当地改编,不仅能体现幽默创新的一面,同样也体现了作者不错的文字驾驭技巧,考官也是很欢迎这样的文章的。 【标准版】 TheWaytoSuccess Successissomethingeveryonelooksfor,longsforanddiesfor.Buthaveyoueverconsideredwhatsuccessis?Somemayholdthatsuccessmeansonehasbeautifullife,likeprettyhouse,coolcarsandgreatpower.It’sindeedonewaytodefinesuccess.Buttome,successisdoingsomethingonereallyfeelslikedoing.

Althoughit’snevereasytosucceed,progressingwiththestrongwillanddiligencetowardstherightdirection,you’llbetheone! 【作文解析】 这是一篇议论文。作者首先提出问题”whatissuccess?”,但并没有在这个问题上着更多的笔墨,而是直接引出了自己的观点:successisdoingsomethingonereallyfeelslikedoing.算是立意较为新颖的地方。随后在第二段对这种成功背后的三种必要条件做出了阐述。整体看,行文流畅,用语规范地道。 本篇亮点: 1.排比词组或句子的运用: Successissomethingeveryonelooksfor,longsforanddiesfor. …namely,knowingwhereyourinterestreallyliesin,possessingthestrongwilltopursueyourinterestandhavingthediligencetorealizeyourdream. 2.bearinmind 3.liein 4.strongwilltopursueyourinterest
3 本文有待提高之处: 1.文中人称有些混乱。有些使用第二人称代指读者,有些又以第三人称指代,建议统一。 2.结构上,一般情况下我们建议考生使用典型的“三段式”,即,提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。该作者基本上遵循了这个原则,但第三段更多的却是重复了第二段的中心思想,并没有起到很好的总结作用。如果第三段,作者可以与第一段的“成功定义”相呼应,例如:即使没有这些身外之物,但心灵上的满足,梦想的实现,才是我心中成功的本质。 整体看,文章在语言表达和立意上还不错。但在文章结构上有些松散,有待提高。PartIIReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning) 1.Googleclaimsitsplanfortheworld’sbiggestonlinelibraryis_____ A.tosaveout-of-printbooksinlibraries.

12 这是一篇采访一名专为左撇子们提供产品的供应商的文章。文中分别谈到了创业理念的来源、产业如何创始、产业日前发展状况以及这家产品供应商所面对的行业现状。具体细节为:创业理念开始于一名名叫Gruby的退休印刷工,他本人是一名左撇子,所以想到找生产商帮他实现自己所想的专门为左撇子设计产品的理念。而这家供应商目前面对的行业现状为:市面上已有的左撇子产品比最初创业之时,增加了许多;但销售渠道来源主要是网络订单。而这些,并不对这家供应商公司构成竞争威胁,因为他们在伦敦有门店和网络销售的双重渠道。因此他们是这种左撇子产品的最大供应商。 本篇文章为考查细节信息抓取能力题。难度较大主要因为考生可能对产品制造加工行业涉及到的manufacture、stock、mail-orderoutlet、supplier等专业术语不太熟悉,而形成困扰。但考生只要能听出这是一篇采访类型的文章,每次都能听到女士(采访者)的问题非常简短,应该立即警惕答案应该是针对男士(被访者)的回答提问。而女士(采访者)的问题中本身就已经暗示出接下来的回答中的关键词。如:女士问的“Andwhat’stherangeofyourstock?”一句中,stock即为关键信息词。因此,这篇文章同时也提醒考生平时应该注意商务用语和商业常识方面的积累。 Q19:Whatkindofbusinessdoesthemanengagedin? 【答案】 Q20:Whatdoesthemansayabouthisstockofproducts? 【答案】 Q21:Whatdoesthemansayaboutotherpeopleinhislineofbusiness? 【答案】 ConversationTwo

14 【材料评析】 这篇对话是围绕一次商业活动的推广是否延期和如何收费的讨论。对话中,女士否决了延期四周这个提议。理由是这次的活动已经错过了两个重要的商业活动事件,而且也没有在重要杂志上打广告。而男士则坚持要求延期,并表示:活动被耽搁的原因是女士所在公司没有及时给出对广告的修改。而男士认为是女士所在公司提交细节修改建议太晚而导致耽搁。女士坚持无需延期,且不应延期,而应定为活动失败。因此,女士向男士的公司提出降低收费或者明年免费为她们公司做活动的要求。最后,男士提出延期四周并给出20%的降价。可惜女士仍然要求更低的40%的降价和下一期的免费活动推广。而男士提出还需再议。显然,他对此提议并不表示赞同。 这篇文章总体不难,考查文章大意。而文章本身围绕是否延期和如何收费这个中心讨论点展开,没有较生僻的词汇。但值得注意的是,考生需要通过对话推知谈话者的身份,并对说话者的语气和话外音所包含的内容有所把握。另外,这是一篇在真实的商务谈判场景中会经常出现的状况。考生注意平时对商业和商务常识方面的知识积累,会对把握整个听力对话的大意很有帮助。22:Whatdowelearnabouttheman’scompany? 【答案】 23:Whywasthecampaigndelayedaccordingtotheman? 【答案】 24:Whatdoesthewomanproposeasasolutiontotheproblem? 【答案】 25:Whatdoesthemansuggesttheydoattheendoftheconversation?

16 同是一个实验室里面老鼠,如果是为了人类实验做贡献,就是人们眼中的好老鼠;而一旦老鼠从实验室里面跑出来,携带病菌危害到了人类健康,那么这些逃跑掉的老鼠就成为了人们眼中的坏老鼠。人类会使用那些捕鼠夹子来消灭坏老鼠,但是对待好老鼠的时候态度截然不同,比如作者儿子的宠物老鼠死掉了,他们家甚至给它办了一场葬礼。 作者的观点就是:如果我们对一样事物贴上了标签,那么在道德层面上,我们内心会根据标签的不同作出不同的反应。并不是事物本身有任何好与不好,只是人类自作主张给各个事物贴上了不同的标签。 Questions: 26Whatdoesthepassagesayaboutmostofthemiceusedforexperiments? 【答案】D)Theysacrificetheirlivesforthebenefitofhumans. 27Whydidtheso-calledbadmicehavetobecapturedanddestroyed? 【答案】C)Theymayaffecttheresultsofexperiments. 28Whenaremicekilledwithoutpriorapproval? 【答案】C)Whentheybecomeescapees. 29,WhydoesthespeakersaywhattheHerzau’sdidathomeisironical? 【答案】A)Whileholdingaburialceremonyforapetmouse,theywerekillingpestmice.

22Drucker总结的一句话:管理是将事情做对,领导是做对的事情。意即在PeterDrucker看来,优秀的领导人需要擅长做对的事情。以上都是先前存在的对商务领导才能的一些看法。 随后第二段,作者就将话题一转,指出StephenCovey在其畅销书中提出的观点开始引起人们反思先前对领导才能的理解。StephenCovey指出先前的领导才能都是以人的性格和个性为中心,而他则倡导领导人必须了解实现高效的普遍原则,并且强调了领导人要想在工作中有杰出表现,先实现良好的自我管理是至关重要的。在此基础上,作者水到渠成地指出,要达到业务目标,必须要对自己的目标和重视的东西有清楚的认识。最后,作者总结出,商务领导才能就是要将首要的事情放在首要位置,这就暗示着在领导他人之前,你要先对自己的价值观、能力和优势有清楚的认识,并且要让自己在别人看来是值得信任的。换句话说,优秀的商务领导要十分了解自己,并且要能赢得他人的信任。 SectionB PassageOne 【答案】 52. 53.AItindicatesthateconomicactivitiesintheUShaveincreased. 54.CProducersofagriculturalgoodsandrawmaterials 55.CPeople’sreluctancetospend 56.BToincreasetheirmarketshareoverseas. 【解析】
23 本文选自国外网站www.slate.com上面的一篇文章,主标题为“TradeIstheNewPlastics”,副标题为YoungAmericansneedtolearntosellandbuyoverseas.讲的是关于美国贸易方面的问题,属于阅读题常考的经济方面的话题范围。 从难度上来讲,本文不算是一篇很难的阅读题,涉及到的陌生词和比较偏的单词并不是太多。但是考生在做题的时候,还是要保持谨慎。 在答题的时候,大家还是按照以往的做题方式,先通过题目中的关键词到原文中定位。在定位的时候,可以略读,但要抓住重要信息点。此外,but等转折词之后会是经常考到的考点,因此,53题则通过“Butthere’sanotherwayoflookingatthetradedata.Overthepasttwoyears,thefiguresonimportsandexportsseemnottosignaladouble-diprecession。。。butaneconomicexpansion.”这一句的信息点选出答案。 54题则定位到“Therisingtideoftradeisalsogoodnewsforpeoplewhoworkintrade-sensitivebusinesses,especiallythosethatproducecommoditiesforwhichglobaldemandsetstheprice—agriculturalgoods,mining,metals,oil.” 55题,考生要特别注意,不可因为“OnegreatchallengefortheU.S.economyisslackdomesticconsumerdemand.”这一句中有slack一词,就错误的选择了D。其实正确答案是C选项。 56.题考查作者的建议,主要是扩大市场份额。因此答案选B。 PassageTwo 【答案】 57.A.theystillhaveaplaceamongtheworldleaders. 58.B.Itdoesnotreflectthedifferencesamonguniversities.
24 59.A.concentrationofresourcesinalimitednumberofuniversities. 60.A.Fullyutilizetheirresearchtobenefitallsectorsofsociety. 61.C.Bypromotingtheefficiencyoftechnologytransferagencies. 【解析】 这是一篇议论文。文章开头就提供了一个背景,即英国的大学在将知识转化成产品和服务的能力方面不断的遭受着批评。第二段提到了UKNationalStemCellNetwork,即英国国家干细胞网络,发出了这样的警告:如果没有资金和立法支持的话,英国将在干细胞研究方面失去领军地位。第三段,作者针对这个批评,提出了相反的看法,并以最近的一个研究数据作支撑:对比澳洲,加拿大,美国和英国的高校及研究所,英国在商业化活动的指标上还是处于领先地位的。第四段作者从国家政策层面来分析,认为过去十年的政策介入也对英国大学的表现产生了积极的影响。第五段讲述,研究资金的偏态分布不仅仅是英国独有的,其他经济体也存在这样的问题。在英国,不到25%的大学却拥有75%的研究资金。但同时,这些大学也是培养博士生最多的,产生的科学著作、专利和授权收入最多的机构。可见,这种将资源集中的政策造就了研究型和商业型相结合的优秀的大学。第六段,作者提到这些研究型高校的核心目标就是将研究成果利益最大化。接着在第七、八两段里,讲述了这些高校能够为英国经济的复苏做些什么,即加快技术转换和研究院教育水平。PartVCloze TheTruthAboutPlastic ByBRYANWALSHThursday,July10,2008(Timemagazine) Ifyouknowwheretofindagoodplastic-freeshampoo,canyoutellJeanneHaegele?LastSeptember,the28-year-oldChicagoresident62.resolvedtocutplasticsoutofherlife.The

26Haegele吗?接着引出去年9月,这位28岁的芝加哥居民决心不在日常生活中使用塑料制品。resolvetodosth.决定做某事,recover和from搭配,重新获得…;remove…form移开,免除…;retreat撤退,退却,均不符合题意。 63.本题缺少一个连接词构成介词+宾语形式,根据句意判断,这里是常见塑料制品化学物质对可能会对人体产生的影响,应用what。 64.该题比较简单,根据上下文不难推断,这里是指塑料垃圾也会对环境产生危害。 65.这里考查固定搭配。hopon跳上…。 66.根据前文,她跳上自行车去百货商店寻找不含塑料的商品。consistofsth.组成…;induce诱导,引起;compose构成,组成,与要表达的意义相反。 67.根据文章和常识可推断出,不含塑料成分的商品很少,因此她几乎买不到不含塑料的制品。此外,句末的anything也提示前面要用一个否定含义的词语,因此选barely。 68.和上句的bought对应,这里应该填purchase,“她没买到…,她确实买到了….”;pursue继续,从事,追赶;preserve保存,保护,维护;prescribe开药方。 69.考查onlyto结构。她买到了罐装的食品和盒装牛奶,却发现外包装也是含有塑料树脂的。onlyto结果是,不料竟会,表转折。 70.考查短语意义。belinedwith给某物安衬里;做内衬;这里指罐装食品和盒装牛奶的包装内层是塑料树脂。 71.考查固定搭配。onone’swayto…在…的途中。 72.考查固定短语意义。endupin以…告终;以…结束,尤指经历了一长段路程或过程。这里指垃圾2700万垃圾都被填埋在垃圾填埋场里。
27 73.词义辨析。这里举例说明20世纪60年代,塑料制品在美国人的日常生活中屡见不鲜,食品和水都采用塑料包装。wrap包,缠绕;adopt采取,接受;adapt使适应,改变;trap诱捕,使陷入困境。 74.根据上下文意义,这里需要填写一个说明塑料制品的性质的副词。依次代入各选项,infinitely是可无限再利用,符合题意。 75.跟上题一样,这里需要填入形容词说明塑料制品的性质。父母们担忧塑料制品有毒性,因此选toxic。 76.本题有一定难度,词义辨析。家长们担忧塑料制品有毒,会从家庭用品进入孩子们的血液循环,household比family更地道合适。 77.考查考生对上下文关系的理解。这里说Haegele不是唯一一个摈弃塑料制品的人,后半句递进,说明她甚至不是第一个写博客记录这种努力的人。 78.根据上题的阐释,Haegele的行为只是一种努力,不是出于勤奋,也不是娱乐,也并没有取得一定的成就。因此选endeavor。 79.考查固定搭配。根据全文意义可推断,塑料制品在我们的生活中如此普遍,要做到不使用塑料制品绝非易事,farfrom…远非…。 80.考查so…that固定搭配。本题为送分题,不做过多解释。 81.考查固定短语搭配。comeintocontactwith接触到。
28 总之,今年六级的完型填空,涉及4处名词,1处介词,7处动词,1处形容词和5处连词,2个副词。有一定难度,第76题较难,其余部分只要在句子内部或者句子之间进行上下文逻辑比对或语法搭配,即可完成。词义辨析和短语搭配考查较多,因此,考生要特别注意六词汇的积累、掌握和运用。PartVITranslation 1.Youshouldn'thaverunacrosstheroadwithoutlooking,youwouldhavebeenknockeddownbyacar.(也许会被车撞到) 解析:本题考察虚拟语气。句子是与过去事实相反,因此用wouldhave+过去分词,表虚拟语气。 2Bynomeans doesheregardedhimselfasanexpert,(他把自己当成专家)althoughheknowsalotaboutthefield. 解析:本题考察倒装和词组regardsb.assth.(把…当作…)。介词短语bynomeans置于句首,构成部分倒装,因此把助动词does提前。 3Hedoesn'tappreciatethesacrificehisfriendshavemadeforhim,however,hetakesitforgranted.(把他们所做的视作理所应当) 解析:本题考察词组takesth.forgranted(把…当作理所当然)。同时,考生要注意句子后半句前是一个逗号,要加上一个连词and或者加上however。 4Janettoldmethatshewouldratherhermothernothaveinterferedwithhermarriage.(不干涉她的婚姻) 解析:本题考察wouldratherhavedonesth,表示过去事件,句子中told提示是过去发生的事,因此用wouldhaveinterferedwith。
29 5Tokeepupwiththeexpandingfrontiersofscholarship.EdwardWilsonfoundhimself alwayssearchingforinformationontheinternet.(经常上网查信息) 解析:本题考察了感官动词find+宾语+现在分词(作宾补),现在分词表主动。因此这里用searching。
