2014年6月大學英語六級考試真題(三)答案與詳解
Part ⅠWriting
1、審題:這是一篇議論文【考頻:★★★】。本次作文的主題是考生比較熟悉的“不要以貌取人”,理解起來難度不大。現實生活中,很多人都不可避免地以貌取人,關注長相而不是個人能力,這種做法是不明智的。
2、列提綱:

3.語言: 運用過渡詞及富有邏輯性的詞語為文章增色
Don’tJudge People by Their Appearance
Although many people acknowledge the old saying that \"Never judge people by their appearance’’, they still fall into the trap of “good appearance” easily. In my opinion, for a person, abilities are far more important than the appearance.
Firstly,although good appearance can help make an impression, it is always abilities that really matter. Secondly,peopled good appearance is natural, while abilities have to be gained through self- improvement and years of hard work, which speak more of peopled true selves. Last but not least, good appearance fades while abilities can be improved over time. Eventually, it is abilities that help people succeed, so it is safe to say that abilities will always bring more to life than good appearance.
In conclusion, it is unwise to judge people by their appearance and it is always abilities that count in the long run. As college students, we should spend more efforts developing our abilities.

The new year always brings with it a cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll that dreamy film in our heads just because it’s the beginning of a new year. But we are serious about making changes. We just make some half-hearted resolution and it evaporates after a week or two. The experience makes us feel less successful and leads us to discount our ability to change in the future. It’s not that change is -impossible but that it won’t last unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation. We have to make our intentions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will carry us to our goal. Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie. And you know there’s a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out you’ve just shot 132 calories. You say to yourself, “What the hell!” and polish off(飛快地吃完) the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of self, you begin to discount the goal. You may think—“Well, dieting wasn’t that important to me and I won’t make it anyhow. ’’ So you abandon the goal and return to your bad habits.

Americans suffer from an overdose of work. Regardless of who they are or what they do, Americans spend more time at work than at any time n since World War II.

Today,it exceeds every country but Japan where industrial employees log 2 155 hours a year compared with 1951 in the US and 1603 in the former West Germany. Between 1969 and 1989, employed Americans added an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules. The workweek has remained at about 40 hours, But people are working more weeks each year. Specifically, pay-time-off holidays, vacations, sick leave shrank by 50% in the 1980s, As corporations have experienced stiff(嚴酷的)competition and slower growth in productivity, they have pressed employees to work longer. Cost-cutting lay-offs in the 1980s reduced the professional and managerial ranks, leaving fewer people to get the job done. In lower paid occupations where wages have been reduced, workers have added hours in overtime or extra jobs to preserve their living standards. The government estimates that more than seven million people hold a second job. For the first time, large numbers of people say they want to cut back(削減)onworkinghours evenifitmeansearning less money. But most employers are unwilling to let them do so. The government, which has stepped back from its traditional role as a regulator of work time, should take steps to make shorter hours possible.

Section A
答案詳解:
36、N)。動詞辨析題。空格前為spend more time,后為the grandkids,所以此處需要填人動詞的-ing形式,構成spend time doing sth.結構。備選項中符合條件的有illustrating和spoiling,能與空格后的grandkids構成合理搭配的只有spoiling,意為“花更多的時間去溺愛孫輩”,故答案為spoiling“溺愛”。
37、K)。副詞辨析題。空格位于動詞have之后,名詞短語different ideas之前,且句子結構完整,據此判斷此處應填人修飾different的副詞,或是與different并列修飾ideas的形容詞。本句提到,丈夫和妻子對這個問題可能持有不同的看法,備選項中只有radically能修飾different且符合句意,故radically“根本地”為答案。
38、C)。動詞辨析題。空格位于found的賓語從句中,在該賓語從句中,41 percent of the 500 couples為主語,it surveyed是定語從句修飾500 couples,賓語從句缺少謂語,所以空格處應填人動詞,且能與介詞on構成搭配。由第二段首句可知,最大的分歧在于夫妻們如何設想他們晚年的生活方式。空格所在句是對該句的進一步說明,因此,空格處應填入表示“分歧”意義的詞。結合備選項,確定答案為disagree“不同意,有分歧”。
39、O)。動詞辨析題。空格位于but連接的并列句中,空格前是主語men,空格后是賓語the age,由此推斷空格處應填入動詞作謂語。根據句意可知,第一個分句與第二個分句構成轉折關系,而第一個分句提到妻子一般能正確 判斷丈夫的退休年齡,由此可知丈夫應該與妻子相反,也就是說丈夫不能正確判斷妻子的退休年齡,故答案為 underestimate “低估”。
40、I)。形容詞辨析題。由空格前面的more可推知空格處應填人形容詞或副詞原形與more—起構成比較級,而且該空格又位于be動詞之后,與slightly more—起作表語:,所以此處應填人形容詞。根據句意可知,該句主要是將丈夫與妻子對生活水平的態度進行對比,故答案為optimistic“樂觀的”。
41、M)。副詞辨析題。根據空格后的or可知,空格處填人的單詞應與together詞性相同、意思相反,故答案為separately “單獨地”。
42、A)。動詞辨析題。空格位于主語They之后,賓語從句之前,由此推斷空格處應填入動詞作謂語。由空格所在部分的句意可知,他們 他們的想法一致,后半部分的but表明事實并非如此,只是他們自己“認為”,故答案為assume“認為,假設”。
43、L)。名詞辨析題。空格位于the之后,is之前,故空格處應填人名詞作句子的主語。由but可知前后兩個分句的句意相反,第一個分句提到夫妻雙方自認為他們的想法一致,即假設,所以第二個分句應該是描述事實,故答案為reality“事實”。
44、E)。形容詞辨析題。空格位于不定冠詞a和名詞短語retirement date之間,由此推斷空格處應填人形容詞、動詞的分詞形式或名詞修飾retirement date。空格所在句句意為:常常是 退休日期成了退休規劃的催化劑,備選項中,只有forthcoming“即將到來的”符合句意,故為答案。
45、J)。名詞辨析題。空格位于動名詞短語之中,由空格前面的an early-retirement可以推斷,空格處應填人可數名詞單數形式。備選項中,符合條件的只有formula和package。此處填入package“一套建議”符合句意,意為“遭到解雇或者接受提前退休建議可以迫使你開始行動”。
