2014年6月大学英语六级考试真题答案详解第三套

PartIWriting(30minutes)作文范文：把全部鸡蛋放到一个篮子里是不明智的

riskswithaplanB.

【点评】

题解："把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里是不明智的。"本题难度中上，讨论风险与机会的关系，以及减少风险的方法，较抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段简单阐述话题含义。主体部分重点论述"把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里"可能带来的风险。由于话题较抽象，

此处可用具体的事例论述，

证明在有一定风险的情况下，

人们不应该将所有的希望都集中在同一个解决方案中，

而是应该有备用方案，

以减少风险。结论部分重述主题。

Questions16to19arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

文章解析：本文是一篇地理科学类文章，有点难度，关键是对一些专有名词的把握。文章开始先指出全球变暖带来最主要的威

胁是极地冰盖的融化，并给出了相应的事实和数据加以证明。接着更多例子表明南极洲的冰盖在过去的

年间至少坍塌过一次。相关高等学府的学者和科学家也相继用实验证明南极洲西部曾是一片汪洋。最后引用

HermanEngleheart的话，再次提醒我们，西南极洲大冰原很可能再次融化消失。

其实按常理来说，如果听力文章比较有难度的话，题目的难度相对应会降低。所以大家在遇到此类题型时不必惊慌。提取关键

信息、边听边记笔记，运用好背景知识等就能把题目做出来。平时也要注意扩大阅读范围，增长见识。关于环境保护和全球变暖之

类的文章屡见不鲜，要求考生在这方面要引起足够的重视。
