You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionAs a famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.【点评】本次作文主题围绕“信息爆炸给大众带来的困扰”，难度较小。最近几年六级作文题都是紧扣时代特征，实用性较强，不会导致考生无话可说、无理可讲。本题型还是按照三段式，第一段可从题中的谚语着手，引出论点。第二段主要辩证论点“信息爆炸反而给大众带来的注意力转移、无法集中等”，可以举出生活化的实例。第三段给出问题的解决方法。注意在写作过程中要有理有据、条理清晰即可。2013年12月大学英语六级考试短对话1. 答案：D) Their hard work has resulted in a big success.2. 答案：B) Join a package tour to Mexico.3. 答案：B) In case some problem should occur.4. 答案：C) The man can try out the facilities before he becomes a member.5. 答案：A) He is not fit to study science.6. 答案：C) Pay for part of the picnic food.7. 答案：A) A labor dispute at a bus company.8. 答案：D) The payment for an order.本次六级短对话难度变化不大，考查的话题还是我们以前考试中经常提及的日常生活，工作以及学习方面，例如，对话1、2、4、6、7和日常生活话题有关（演出、度假、办卡，野餐，新闻）；对话3、8涉及商务工作；对话5则为校园生活话题（考试）。短对话主要考查学生对事实细节信息的抓取和隐含意义的推理判断，大部分题目答案是可以通过听力原文直接得到的。其中一些主要短语需要注意：pay off“得到好的结果；取得成功”；give sb a free pass“开恩”；try out“尝试；试用”；cut out“切断；停止”；lay off“解雇”等，理解好这些短语对整篇短文听力内容的把握很有帮助，往往一个短对话的关键点就在一个单词或者短语上，所以考生平时还是需要多多积累一些词汇和短语。六级听力长对话原文1】W: OK, thats it.

I have found something.M: Good. Ive got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.W: Certainly. Hutton Dennis, born Darlington, 1836, died New York, 1920.M: Yes, got that.W: Inventer and physicist, the son of a farmworker. He was admitted to the University of London at the age of 15.M: Yes.W: He graduated at 17 with the first class degree in physics and mathematics. All right?M: Yes, all right.W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of 18. It was a method of refrigeration which rolls from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of mathematics at the University of Manchester at 24, where he remained for twelve years. During that time, he married one of his students, Natasha WilloughbyM: Yes, go on.W: Later working together in London, they laid the foundations of modern physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime, Hutton patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?M: Yes, when did he go to America?W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still he was a good age.M: Yes, I suppose so. Well, thanks.Question 12: What do we learn about Dennis Hutton when he was 15?Question 13: What did Dennis Hutton do at the age of 24?Question 14: For what were Dennis Hutton and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time?Question 15: Why did Dennis Hutton go to New York?In America, white tailed deer are more numerous than ever before, so abundant in fact that theyve become a suburban nuisance and a health hazard.Why cant the herd be thinned the old-fashioned way? The small community of North Haven on Long Island is home to some six hundred to seven hundred deer. The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimum population at 60. The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens and shrubs are protected by high fences.Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of the road that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of the bodies. Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases. On the occasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure court orders against the hunts. And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots and pans to alert the deer. Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved into confrontations.The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem. Some communities have even discussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix. That means wolves in the suburbs of New York. It is almost too wonderful not to try it. The wolves would kill deer of course. They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburban dwellers have in mind.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heardQ16. What do we learn about white-tailed deer in North Haven?Q17. Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans?Q18. What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix?19. A She is a tourist guide.20. C It was used by the family to hold dinner parties.21. B It is very big, with only six slim legs.22. D They are uncomfortable to sit in for long.【点评】这是一篇导游词，介绍名人故居的一个房间。对房间的作用，风格，陈设等做了详细的讲解。没有太难的生词，只要抓住以上几个角度，题目就不难做出了。除了第一题，其他三题都是事实细节题， 21、22题可能乍一看，很难推测出考点，这时可以注意文中详细讲解的部分，导游对oval table, chairs做了非常详细的介绍，即为考点。2013年12月大学英语六级考试听力短文3答案23.

Legislation and court decisions have made it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity.Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards, and many require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receiving instruction in state approved curriculum.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient than mass public education. Moreover they site several advantages: alleviation of school overcrowding, strengthen family relationships, lower dropout rates, the facts that students are allowed to learn at their own rate, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, and reduced discipline problems.Critics of the home schooling movement content that it creates as many problems as it solves. They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can provide such educational advantages. Some parents who withdraw their children from the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children. Typically, parents have fewer technological resources at their disposal than do schools. However, the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way inferior to more highly structured classroom education.26.

The tradition of celebrating Mid-Autumn festival became popular throughout China in the early Tang dynasty. The lunar August 15 is a day for people worshiping the moon. On this day, under the dazzling bright moon, families reunite and enjoy the moons beauty. In 2006, Mid-Autumn festival was listed as one of Chinas cultural heritage, and in 2008, it was classified as a public holiday. Moon cakes, as indispensable delicious food of the festival, were gifts people sent to families and friends during the festival and usually eaten on family gatherings.
