1第二段重点从公司和消费者两方面论述产生过度包装的原因。公司方面是为了吸引顾客，刺激消费，赢取更多的利润；消费者方面是认为包装越精美，质量越好这种错误的消费意识。 接下来作者表明自己的看法，认为过度包装会导致很多问题：稀缺资源的流失；水，能源的过度消耗以及产生不必要的垃圾场等。 最后一段作者针对原因提出了一些解决方案。第一方面，建立法律规章制度来约束企业的过度包装行为。第二方面，必须让消费者认识到过度包装不等同于高质量，并提倡包装物的回收利用。 本文条理清晰，论述充分，语言使用规范得当，如：tonamebutafew，thefirstreasonisthat…，ontheotherhand，inmypointofview，tosolvetheproblem，first，inaddition等。 1.D)providinggoodeducationforbabyboomers.2.D)Students’performancedeclined.3.D)Theyaremostlysmallinsize.4.D)Somelargeschoolshavesplitupintosmallerones.5.C)theircollege-leveltestparticipation.6.B)Theirschoolperformancewasgettingworse.7.A)maintaincloserrelationshipswiththeirteachers.8.Simplicity9.differentmeasures10.toughsubjects短对话 11. M:Asyoucanseefromthedrawings,thekitchenhasonedoorintothediningroom,anotherintothefamilyroomandathirdtotheoutside. W:Thedoorintothefamilyroomisn’tbigenough.Coulditbemadewider? Q:Whatarethespeakersdoing? 【答案】D)Discussingahousingplan. 【解析】此题为简单的推理题。从drawing，kitchen等关键词可知，两人正在看房间的图纸，并讨论希望familyroom能够再大点。 12. M:I’mthinkingaboutwheretogoforabitetonight.Anysuggestions,Barbara?

8【解析】 这篇文章谈论的是校园盗窃。从校园相关话题的角度而言，复合式听写的内容非常贴近生活，是考生所熟悉的。具体听写内容，单词仍然以一句话的主干内容为主，即名词和动词；而句子听写的长度和停顿间隔仍与往年一致，即18词左右，且每句间隔1-2句。所以，复合式听写难度与往年持平。但是考生们应考和平时听写时，都需要特别注意细节，如名词复数的变化，emergency的复数emergencies；难词的拼写calculator（计算器）、theft（盗窃）。 47.E.domestic48.C.communities49.O.survive50.H.gather51.M.serves52.N.surroundings53.J.recession54.K.reported55.I.households56.F.financially【解析】这篇文章选自Time杂志，讲述的是美国采取了一系列的食品援助行动为低收入者提供食物，经济萧条让越来越多的人陷入温饱危机，其中甚至包括有工作的人。文章思路比较清晰，理解起来并不难。选项中也没有易混淆的干扰项，考生只要把握文章的主线，注意通过词性排除选项，很容易得出答案。57.Intheinitialstage,thecurrenteconomiccrisisislikelyto_______.A.tearmanytroubledfamiliesapartB.bringaboutadropinthedivorcerateC.causealotofconflictsinthefamilyD.contributetoenduringfamilyties58.IntheGreatDepressionmanyunhappycoupleschosetosticktogetherbecause_______A.startinganewfamilywouldbehardB.theywantedtobetterprotecttheirkidsC.livingseparatelywouldbetoocostlyD.theyexpectedthingswouldturnbetter59.Inadditiontojoblosses,whatstandsinthewayofunhappycouplesgettingadivorce?A.Asenseofinsecurity.B.Mountingfamilydebts.C.Difficultyingettingaloan.D.Fallinghousingprices.

12本篇范文在句式上，长短搭配，形式多变。从句、非谓语动词等多种表达方式，值得借鉴。同时，用词同样注意多样化，对网络相关词汇的多种表达（web,cyber,instantmessage,videoconference等），考生同样应在平时注意归类、积累。 作文高分版 TheImpactoftheInternetonInterpersonalCommunication TodayIsawaninterestingcartoon,inwhichafatheraskedhisdaughteraboutherschoolperformanceoftheday,andthedaughterrepliedthathecouldgotoherblogtocheckit.Thissmallcartoonindicatesabigchangeinourlife,especiallythewaypeoplecommunicate. Internetenablespeopletobreakthoughthelimitationsofdistance,strengtheningsocialnetwork.Unlikepostoffices,Internetservicewithitsconveniencehelpspeopleengageandconverserealtimewiththeirparents,soulmates,friendsthoughemails,IRC,microbloganytime,anywherewithanetworkterminal,withoutsufferingthelongandpainfulwaitforareply. Besides,suchonlinecommunitiesasTwitter,Facebookarewellunderwayandbecomingthemostdominatingplatformsforon-linesocialactivities.Thesecommunitiesoffergreatopportunitiesforustofollowandinteractwiththosewelikeandeventhosecelebrities.Itisalsoaplatformforustoshareandupdateinformationofeachother,andlearntheoutsideworld. Internettodayandtomorrowisavirtualspacewherewelive,wherewelearn,wherewespeak,andwherewecommunicate. 【解析】 今年的六级作文依旧延续了四六级的传统，考查“现象类”话题，要求根据漫画，发表对于“Theimpactoftheinternetoninterpersonalcommunication”的观点。近年的六级作文题目，已经不再局限于传统的议论文考察模式，即要求考生给出非此即彼或既此既彼的观点、而是偏向于启发考生自己去思考，结合自己的生活经历以及对事物的理解，对话题中的现象进行深入的探讨，给出事实支撑。

14本文属于教育类文章。 文章开头以Hartwick学院为例，指出许多有创新意识的大学都将学制由四年改为三年的现象。在承认美国具有全世界最好的大学，这些学校吸引了众多聪明的学生后，作者话锋一转，指出美国高等教育存在的一些问题，包括：学校学年的一成不变，设备资源的闲置浪费，终身职位以及反年龄歧视法造成的教务人员冗余以及对自由思想的压制，学生承担不起高额的学费等等。 之后，作者指出正是由于以上的这些问题，许多学校才会进行学制改革并且描述了Hartwick,JudsonCollege等学校在缩短学制后课程方面的一些改革和做法。随后作者指出缩短学制的一些弊端：学生缺少时间进行思考，缺少时间参加课外活动或者出国留学，威胁学校的核心课程体系等。 最后，作者指出实行三年制学制对大多数学校来说都不是易事。但是要比让议会提供资金帮助，让立法人员要求更多的政府帮助，或是要求学生支付更高的学费来得容易。 本次快速阅读题目难度适中，基本上都是细节辨认题，考生做题的时候可根据题干的关键词：人名，学校名等进行快速定位，仔细判断。需要注意的是，考生在做本篇快速阅读的时候最好快速通读一下全文，把握一下文章的大致结构，会更有利于解答问题。PartIIIListeningComprehension(35minutes) SectionA Directions:Inthissection,youwillhear8shortconversationsand2longconversations.Attheendofeachconversation,oneormorequestionswillbeaskedaboutwhatwassaid.Boththeconversationandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Aftereachquestiontherewillbeapause.Duringthepause,youmustreadthefourchoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD),anddecidewhichisthebestanswer.ThenmarkthecorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet2withasinglelinethroughthecentre. 11.W:DidyouhearthatAnnaneedstostayinbedfor4weeks?M:Yeah.Sheinjuredherspineinafallandadoctortoldhertolieflatonherbackforamonthsoitcanmend.Q:Whatcanwelearnfromtheconversation?【答案】A)TheinjurywillconfineAnnatobedforquiteawhile.

2681.D）or 【解析】本文出自2010年11月ScientificAmericanMagazine.文章主要阐述倾听音乐对于大脑有好处，可以提高人的学习能力。因而作者呼吁，学校不应取消音乐课。虽然文章为科技文，且开头出现了许多专业术语，但内容并不生僻。所以，同学们千万不要被开头一长串的专业术语吓倒，保持良好心态，不要放弃。完形填空考查重点还在于对上下文的理解；动词与介词的搭配；形似词、同义词词义、用法的辨析，如62题中考查note,notice,notion,notification之间的差异，词形相似，但意思截然不同。同学在平时背诵单词时，一定要多加总结归纳。 PartVITranslation(5minutes) Directions:CompletethesentencesbytranslatingintoEnglishtheChinesegiveninbrackets.PleasewriteyourtranslationonAnswerSheet2.82.Ithinkthatthemealiswell worth$80withoutadiscount (没有折扣的情况下值80美元).【点评】wellworth，“值”，后跟动名词或名词；discount折扣。 83. Facingthefiercecompetitionfromothercompanies (面对来自其他公司的激烈竞争),theautomobilemanufacturerisconsideringlaunchingapromotioncampaign.【点评】横线处要填的是一个非谓语从句，根据句意可知前后主语都是theautomobilemanufacturer，因此用现在分词形式。 84.Asfarashobbiesareconcerned,Janeandhersister nearlyhavenothingincommon/hardlyhaveanythingincommon (几乎没有什么共同之处).【点评】havesomethingincommon有共同点，注意表示否定时副词的使用。 85.Onlyaftermanyfailures haveIrealizedthatIcannotsucceedwithluckmerely (我才认识到仅凭运气是不能成功的).【点评】本题考查only位于句首的倒装。这里强调的是过去的事情对现在造成的影响“不能成功”，因此应用现在完成时态。 86.Butforthesurvivalinstinctwhichnearlyallcreatureshave, morespecieswouldhavebeenextinctfromtheearth (更多的物种就可能已经在地球上灭绝了).【点评】butfor，“要不是，如果没有”，这里考查虚拟语气，后面应该用would+havedone的形式，强调这种非真实的虚拟对将来可能发生的情况的影响。
