What do the speakers agree to do?Long conversation2长对话二W: What does the term alternative energy source mean?M: When you think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum or fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground of which there is a limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things, wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.W: Is the threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. We are using what is available at a much faster rate than it has been produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the amounts of petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025 the amount of petroleum we use will reach a peak then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point, but it willbecome very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: Therere two very clear reasons to do so. One is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually, so the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped in the ground for a long time, which leads to some long term negative effects like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?15. What does the man think we should do now?短文一Passage OneKaren Smith is a buyer for a department store in New York. Department store buyers purchase the goods that their stores sell. They not only have to know what is fashionable at the moment, but also have to guess what will become fashionable next season or next year.Most buyers work for just one department in a store, but the goods that Karen finds may be displayed and sold in several different sections of the store. Her job involves buying handicrafts from all over the world.Last year, she made a trip to Morocco, and returned with rugs, pots, dishes, and pans. The year before, she visited Mexico, and brought back hand-made table cloths, mirrors with frames of tin, and paper flowers. The paper flowers are bright and colorful, so they were used to decorate the whole store. This year, Karen is traveling in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Many of the countries that Karen visits have government offices that promote handicrafts. They officials are glad to cooperate with her, by showing her the products that are available.Karen especially likes to visit markets and small towns and villages whenever she can arrange for it. Shes always looking for interesting and unusual items. Karen thinks she has the best job she could have found. She loves all the traveling that she has to do,because she often visits markets and small out-of-the-way places. She sees much more of the country she visits than an ordinary tourists would.

The area city council woman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline. The neighborhood faced many problems. Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There were charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. Mark read from the charts, “Police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%”. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the council woman. It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big”, he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I can do would make a difference here.”As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag, and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted, and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boys arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with mom,” he said. Then he picked up the stray groceries while and the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks,” she said, “Youve got great timing.” “Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the poster near his seat in the bus. Small acts of kindness add up. Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe thats a good place to start.”19. What did Mark think he should start doing?20. What was being discussed when Mark arrived at the neighborhood meeting?21. What did Mark think of the communitys problems?22. Why did Mark smile on his ride home?Passage TwoMark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.

Into this empty casting, the teachers are supposed to stuff “education.”But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the drawing-out of what is in the mind.“The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him.”And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, “I know, learn from me.” He said, rather, “Look into your own selves and find the spark of the truth that God has put into every heart and that only you can kindle to a flame.”In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of schooling, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really “knows” geometry because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should “go into” the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done.The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I dont have a chance to learn anything,” was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the sausage casing view of education.翻译真题中国传统的待客之道要求饭菜丰富多样，让客人吃不完。中国宴席上典型的菜单包括开席的一套凉菜及其后的热菜，例如肉类、鸡鸭、蔬菜等。大多数宴席上，全鱼被认为是必不可少的，除非已经上过各式海鲜。如今，中国人喜欢把西方特色菜与传统中式菜肴融于一席，因此牛排上桌也不少见。沙拉也已流行起来，尽管传统上中国人一般不吃任何未经烹饪的菜肴。宴席通常至少有一道汤，可以最先上或最后上桌。甜点和水果通常标志宴席的结束。写作答案Practice is the Key to KnowledgeNowadays almost every person has a clear notion about the importance of knowledge, with which we can make great difference to our world. However, the contribution of practice should also be awarded.Practice is considered significant because it can turn abstract ideas into tangible results. Only through practice can we truly develop our own understanding about the essence of the new knowledge, or else the treasure of knowledge would still be words printed on papers. Moreover, the vilification of new theories requires us to focus more on the practical side, which helps people to learn better compared with the mechanical way of reading and memorizing. In addition, practice makes people acquire information in an active way, thus more innovative thoughts are likely to be generated in the process and then applied to make our future life more exciting.As far as I am concerned, practice is essential for people to understand, to review and to optimize the information we receive. It is practice that produces enjoyable life and makes knowledge truly valuable.本题由谚语 “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” 引出话题，探讨知识、实践之间的关系，突出知识的必要性和实践的关键性。话题与往年出现的正确学习方式、知识的实际效用和实践带来的优势都有关联，和大学生目前的学习生活联系紧密。本题难度适中，考生对此普遍有话可说。正如我们在考前押题中所讲，建议考生针对此话题采取三段式写作。三段式：第一段：简要点明本篇文章的两个重点：知识(Nowadays almost every person has a clear notion about the importance of knowledge) 和实践(the contribution of practice should also be awarded.)，其中，先铺垫知识重要性，接着用however转折引出需要重点论述的后者，过渡到下文的具体论述。第二段：确立观点，具体论述：原因一：实践能把抽象理论变成具体成果 (it can turn abstract ideas into tangible results.)+ 具体说明(only through)+ 反面说明(or else);原因二：实践可以把新旧知识串联融合(moreover,. connects what we already knew before);原因三：实践能让人产生基于知识的新想法(In addition,more innovative thoughts are likely to be generated)第三段：As far as I am concerned 总结全文，强调句重申观点。以上为英语六级作文点评，大家要挖掘实践与认知的关系，深入浅出，写出一篇表达清晰、无语法错误的文章。希望大家总结经验，下次考得更高!听力答案短对话答案1.

A) The ability to predict fashion trend.17. D) Purchasing handicrafts from all over the world.18. B) She is doing what she enjoys doing.短文1 点评【总评】本篇短文主要讲述作为百货商店买手的Karen Smith环游世界采购商品的个人经历。文章为总分结构。第16题，答案出现在文章的开头部分，They not only have to know what is fashionable at the moment, but also have to guess what will become fashionable next season or next year. 告诉我们，买手们不但要熟知当下的流行，并且能够预测下一季或是明天的流行趋势。句中反复出现选项中的fashion一次，根据所听即所得原则，本题应选择A. The ability to predict fashion trend.第17题，同样考察同学们的对于细节的把握，根据文中的，Her job involves buying handicrafts from all over the world. 以及之后所例举的国家地名等，可以知道，Karen的工作内容与选项D Purchasing handicrafts from all over the world.相吻合。第18题，问到为何Karen认为她拥有世上最棒的工作。根据文中所提到的，Karen喜欢所有她的旅行经历，我们可以知道这里应该选择B. She is doing what she enjoys doing.本文在听题过程中，只需要抓住概括性的话语即可，所举的事例都可以忽略。难度并不高。短文2答案19. B) Get involved in his community.20. A) Deterioration in the quality of life.21. D) They are too big for individual efforts.22. C) He had done a small deed of kindness.短文2 点评【总评】本篇短文为叙述文章，讲述主人公Mark在社区的个人经历。第19题，答案出现在文章的开头部分，Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. 句中出现选项中关键词community。选项B. Get involved in his community为原文内容的同义替换。第20题，答案紧随其后，The area city council woman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline. 这里的the quality of life生活质量是选项中的关键词，同时，on the decline在选项中被同义替换为deterioration。第21题，关于Mark对于社区问题的看法，文中相对应的原文为It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big”, he thought. 因此在Mark看来这些问题对于个人而言太大了，是理所不能及的，因此应该选择D. They are too big for individual efforts.第22题，提问在回家的路上Mark为何笑了，可以通过对路上发生的事情进行概括，因为他从小善开始做起。在人物个人经历的文章中，我们可以从人物本身的活动与想法语言中得到关键信息。本篇难度适中。短文3答案23. B) Pressure and disease.24. A) It experienced a series of misfortunes.25. C) They could do nothing to help him.短文
