大學(xué)英語六級(jí)考試試卷參考解析
Part I Writing (略，附補(bǔ)充作文)
1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Nature or Nurture. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
1. 有些人認(rèn)為遺傳因素起決定作用
2. 也有人認(rèn)為環(huán)境影響作用更大
3. 你的觀點(diǎn)

Today the way we consider human psychology and mental development is heavily determined by the genetic sciences. We now understand the importance of inherited characteristics more than ever before. Yet we are still unable to decide whether an individual’s personality and development are more influenced by genetic factors (nature) or by the environment (nurture).
Research, relating to identical twins, has highlighted how significant inherited characteristics can be for an individual’s life. But whether these characteristics are able to develop within the personality of an individual surely depends on whether the circumstances allow such a development. It seems that the experiences we have in life are so unpredictable and so powerful, that they can boost or over-ride other influences, and there seems to be plenty of research findings to confirm this.
My own view is that there is no one major influence in a person’s life. Instead, the traits we inherit from our parents and the situation and experiences that we encounter in life are constantly interacting. It is the interaction of the two that shapes a person’s personality and dictates how that personality develops. If this were not true, we would be able to predict the behavior and character of a person from the moment they were born. In conclusion, I do not think that either nature or nurture is the major influence on a person, but that both have powerful effects.

2. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a speech in support of the 2008 Olympic Games in the name of the student union. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 奧運(yùn)會(huì)即將于明年在北京
2. 舉行奧運(yùn)會(huì)的重大意義
3. 我們應(yīng)該為奧運(yùn)做些什么

Dear Friends, Fellow classmates,
The exciting moment, I am convinced, must remain vivid in our mind, when Beijing, the Capital of China, was proclaimed the final winner to host the Olympic Games in 2008 by Chairman of the International Olympic Committee. Time flies, and the new Olympics is coming very soon!
Olympic Games, held every four years, boast a long history and offer rare opportunities for different nations to get together, which are far more than sports contests participated by professional athletes. Through Olympics, new world records are set, resilient sportsmanship is highlighted, sport-related industries spring up and international goodwill and exchange get greatly enhanced.
As college students, we ought to contribute our share to the imminent Olympic Games with responsibility of citizenship as well as focused knowledge. For instance, it is advisable to give voluntary lectures to popularize Olympic knowledge and environmental awareness in some residential areas. And we are looking forward to your suggestions and participation!
Student Union

3.  N (Para 5, “The newspapers produced by the WSPU, first Votes for Women and later The Suffragette, played a vital role in this communication.

Part III Listening Comprehension(略)

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Passage 1
52. B 細(xì)節(jié)題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在第一段。
【解  析】 有一個(gè)智者說，好人不能挺身而出，壞人就會(huì)取得勝利，故B項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 在文章開頭找到這位智者的話以后，加以理解即可。

53. C 細(xì)節(jié)題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在最后一段。
【解  析】 最后一段直接提到“犯罪的人應(yīng)該為其犯罪行為承擔(dān)責(zé)任”。故只有C項(xiàng)符合題意。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 ① A項(xiàng)所說的“社會(huì)應(yīng)為其承擔(dān)責(zé)任”是C項(xiàng)的對(duì)立面，也是文章在第八、九段中駁斥的觀點(diǎn)。②對(duì)本題和第31題而言，只要抓住文章話題（accountability），就可以直接求解。

54. A 細(xì)節(jié)題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在第六、七段。
【解  析】 從第六、七段的比較來看：較之小鎮(zhèn)的人們，城市人缺乏自律（discipline）和原則（standard）。故A項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 事實(shí)上，只要理解inner restraints（這里相當(dāng)于self-discipline），即可求解；此外作者把小城鎮(zhèn)和大城市進(jìn)行比較時(shí)，是從道德觀念的角度展開的，由此也可以輕松排除C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)。

55. A 綜合題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在第七、八段。
【解  析】 讓作者感到難以置信的是，大城市里的人顯得格外“寬容”，總是為犯錯(cuò)誤的人找借口，比如生活環(huán)境差，學(xué)校、教堂沒有盡到教導(dǎo)的職責(zé)，等等。但在作者看來，應(yīng)該在犯錯(cuò)的人自己身上找原因。故A項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 ①B項(xiàng)單獨(dú)看符合原文意思，但與題干作者表示sorry（遺憾）的態(tài)度矛盾，屬于“文不對(duì)題”的選項(xiàng)。②C、D項(xiàng)皆與原文意思相矛盾。

56. D 綜合題
【定  位】 考查對(duì)文章主旨的把握。
【解  析】 這個(gè)題目考的是accountability貫穿于文章始終，作者列舉正、反兩面的例子，批駁了當(dāng)今的錯(cuò)誤觀念。身為警察，他提倡人人都應(yīng)加強(qiáng)自律，為自身行為負(fù)責(zé)。故D項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 縱覽全文，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，accountability是一個(gè)關(guān)鍵字，抓住它就可以把握這類關(guān)于文章主旨的題目的題解。

Passage 2
57. C 綜合題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在于理解第一段中比喻的寓意。
【解  析】 作者將人比作機(jī)器上潤滑良好的小齒輪，第一段的后兩句圍繞這個(gè)比喻做出解釋。人作為小齒輪，在社會(huì)上通過高薪、通風(fēng)良好的廠房、管弦器樂、心理學(xué)家和“人際關(guān)系”專家的幫助保持潤滑。然而，人類已經(jīng)變得無能為力，厭煩工作，成了現(xiàn)行社會(huì)制度下的經(jīng)濟(jì)傀儡。C項(xiàng)認(rèn)為，盡管運(yùn)作良好，但人對(duì)社會(huì)而言微不足道，符合原文。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 ①A項(xiàng)與C項(xiàng)的意思恰恰相反。B項(xiàng)中的in complete harmony與人們厭煩工作，不全身心投入工作的事實(shí)相悖。D項(xiàng)更是無稽之談。②考生在判斷選項(xiàng)時(shí)，必須注意選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞。A項(xiàng)中的necessary和negligible，B項(xiàng)中的in complete harmony，C項(xiàng)中的unimportant，以及D項(xiàng)中的humble和especially，我們都要重視。有些選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞將情況描述得過于絕對(duì)化，通常該選項(xiàng)可以立即排除。

58. D 細(xì)節(jié)題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在于理解第二段。
【解  析】 從第二段可知，員工之所以感到焦慮，不僅因?yàn)榭赡苁�業(yè)，也因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)谏�活中不曾作為有�?dú)立的感情和智力、富有創(chuàng)造力的人去體會(huì)生活中的快樂。可見，員工失去其個(gè)性和獨(dú)立性是焦慮的真正原因。D項(xiàng)正確。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 A項(xiàng)與B項(xiàng)只是表面原因。C項(xiàng)與原文完全不符。

59. D 綜合題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在于理解文章主題。
【解  析】 員工為可能失業(yè)而擔(dān)憂，社會(huì)上層人士始終處于高度激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中，生活在提升與貶職的壓力下。人們需要通過競(jìng)爭(zhēng)以證明自己的價(jià)值。競(jìng)爭(zhēng)引發(fā)焦慮和壓力，最終導(dǎo)致生活不快樂并誘發(fā)疾病。可見，只有遠(yuǎn)離競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，才能真正感受到生活的快樂。D項(xiàng)正確。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 A項(xiàng)和B項(xiàng)明顯與文章第二、三段內(nèi)容相悖。C項(xiàng)認(rèn)為，證明自己比同事優(yōu)秀的人能感受到生活的快樂。然而，一時(shí)半刻的勝利掩蓋不了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)永遠(yuǎn)存在的事實(shí)。一個(gè)人無法通過一兩次競(jìng)爭(zhēng)證明自己一定比周圍所有同事優(yōu)秀。既然他無法逃脫競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的惡性循環(huán)，又豈能感受生活的快樂？

60. C 細(xì)節(jié)題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在于理解最后一段。
【解  析】 在最后一段中，作者提出應(yīng)當(dāng)將官僚管理的工業(yè)制度改造成人道主義的工業(yè)制度，讓生產(chǎn)和消費(fèi)由對(duì)人類控制的角色，轉(zhuǎn)變成充分發(fā)展人及其自身能力的手段。因此，C項(xiàng)正確。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 作者在最后一段開頭就否定了退回到工業(yè)化以前的生產(chǎn)方式。A項(xiàng)不正確。B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)的觀點(diǎn)在原文中也未提到。

61. B 綜合題
【定  位】 考點(diǎn)在于理解全文主題。
【解  析】 從文章主題可知，作者對(duì)現(xiàn)存工業(yè)制度非常不滿。B項(xiàng)正確。
【點(diǎn)  評(píng)】 ①作者在這篇文章中表態(tài)明確，因此，贊成、懷疑和容忍都不是正確選項(xiàng)。
 ②解答關(guān)于作者態(tài)度的題目，要從全文的結(jié)構(gòu)入手，關(guān)注作者在闡述其觀點(diǎn)時(shí)，其用詞帶有何種褒貶意味。本文第一段中economic puppets已明顯表達(dá)出作者的不滿情緒。
