(20分)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.”In fact, you are not short of money but Your friend is in debt and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which the lie is told.1、According to the passage, a “white lie” seems to be a lie CA、that other people believeB、that other people don’t believeC、told in order to avoid offending someoneD、told in order to take advantage of someone2、Research suggests that women AA、are better at telling less serious lies than men areB、generally lie far more than men doC、lie at parties more often than men doD、often make promises they intend to break3、Researchers find that when a person tells lies CA、his blood pressure increases measurablyB、he looks very seriousC、he tends to make some small changes in his behaviorD、he uses his unconscious mind4、One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is that BA、they wish they were somewhere elseB、the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lyingC、they want to cover their mouthsD、they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies5、The tone of this passage tells us that the writer DA、hates to lieB、enjoys lyingC、often tells a lieD、tries to analyze lyingPassage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answerbook. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.6、According to the passage, which of the following is the best way for children to learn thingA、Listening to skilled people’s advice.B、Asking older people many questions.C、Making mistakes and having them corrected.D、Doing what other people do.7. The writer think teachers should NOT C .A、give children correct answersB、allow children to make mistakesC、point out children’s mistakes to themD、let children mark their own work8. According to the writer, teachers in school should A .A、allow children to learn from each otherB、point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC、correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD、give children more book knowledge9. According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are B .A、different from learning other skillsB、the same as learning other skillsC、more important than other skillsD、not really important skills10. The title of this passage could probably be D .A、Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB、Let Us Make Children LearnC、Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD、Let Children Learn By ThemselvesPassage 3Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburghset themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The techniqu e of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery.”A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others.Along the way, pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hardworking, overweight male genius.1. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it ___C__.A. was difficult to collectB. came in a variety of formsC. was difficult to get rid ofD. tended to be absorbed by physical objects2. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus?A. The heat is supplied by human bodies only.B.The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heatemitting objects.C. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel.D. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heatemitting objects, and conventional fuel.3.The phrase “even in winter” (in line 8) most nearly means ___C__.A. if the winter is especially warmB. during all of the year except the winterC. in the winter as well as in other seasonsD. during the evenings in the winter4. The phrase “heat recovery” refers to a __D___.A. method of concealing the source of heatB. special form of air conditioningC. supplementary hot water systemD. way of reclaiming and re-using heat5. According to the passage which of the following would produce the LEAST amount of heat?A. A fat female who studies hard.B. A thin female who does not study.C. A fat male who does not study.D. A thin male who studies hard.Passage 4Heredity(遗传) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to aLarge extent how much light we get when summer arrives and light-colored people go to the beaches,some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a difficult ability to tan,but the difference do not appear until the conditions are right . An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun.Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a shin so pale that the veins (血管) showed was considered a mark of great beauty.During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fieldsand went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines made their skins pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel so sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sun-lamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions(涂剂)that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out ofa bottle for a few cents.6、Besides genes, our skin color has much to do with ____D_____.A. exerciseB. weightC. foodD. sunshine7、When summer comes and the light-colored people go to the beaches, __D__.A. all of them will tan darklyB. few of them will tan darklyC. many of them will not tan at allD. some of them will not tan at all8、Centuries ago in Europe, it was considered of great beauty to have __A__.A. pale skinB. light-colored skinC. dark-colored skinD. a suntan9、During the Industrial Revolution people began to like to have a tan because it was a sign of___C___.A. good healthB. great strengthC. wealthD. youth10、Pills and lotions have been invented in Western Europe and North America ___D___.A. to protect people from sunburnB. to make people look wealthyC. to smooth people’s skinD. to help people to have a quick tan六.Translate the following sentences into English.(15分)1、他不但擅长画画、唱歌也很棒。
小型学校不断上升的今年的名单中排名前100位高中表明,今天,那些拥有更少的学生都在蓬勃发展。
五十年前,他们在教育改革的最新的事情:大、现代、郊区中学的学生数在数以千计。
随着婴儿潮一代(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人)是高中时代,大学校所承诺的经济效率。
一个更大的选择的课程,当然,更好的球队。
几年以后,我们是否理解这个涉及权衡:创建过多的官僚机构(官僚机构),困难的锻造教师和学生之间的个人关系。
SAT成绩在1963年开始下降;今天,平均30%的学生没有完成高中四年,这个数字上升到50%的贫困地区。
虽然强调教学更高、测试驱动的标准制定“不让一个孩子掉队导致明显更好的性能在小学(和一些中间)学校,高中出于各种原因似乎没有取得什么进展。
大小不是一切,但它是很重要的,过去的十年已经取得了明显的逆倾向于规模较小的学校。
这是由于,在某种程度上,比尔和梅林达•盖茨基金会已经投资18亿美元在美国高中,帮助打开大约1000小型学校大多数的大约400个孩子每个平均入学率只有150每级,大约500多是在绘图板上。
全国各地的地区已经开始注意,连同市长在城市像纽约,芝加哥和圣地亚哥。
运动包括独立的特许公立学校,如第一基础在图森,只有120,今年该校18毕业生。
它包含了地区认可的磁铁学校,如天才的学校有198名学生,科学和工程磁铁,w ith383,共享一个构建在达拉斯,以及城市学校在布法罗纽约荣誉诞生于为学生志愿者晚上研讨会。
和它包括选择学校与学生选择彩票(抽签),如h b Woodlaw n 在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿市。
和最明显的的是,有这种现象的大型城市和郊区的高中有分成更小的单位的几百,一般住在相同的理由是曾经拥有过成千上万的学生游行至所有相同的乐队。
山谷高中在圣马特奥市,就是其中之一,No.423-among排名前2%的国家在《新闻周刊》的年度排名,美国的顶级高中。
小型学校的成功是明显的清单。
十年前,当第一个新闻周刊列表基于大学水平的测试参与发表,只有三个顶级的100所学校毕业类小于100学生。
大学英语六级考试4套翻译(2012.6-2010.12快速阅读、短句问答)+4套作文(2012.6-2010.12真题补充范文、相似预测范文)4套翻译2012年6月六级点评【快速阅读全文翻译】三年制解决方案( ) 纽约州北部一所小型的文科大学哈特威克学院为那些有所准备的学生提供了这样的计划:在三年而不是四年的时间内获得学士学位,节约约 ,000美金,即一年的学费和杂费。
(其他) 许多创新性的大学也给渴望节约时间和金钱的学生们提供了同样的计划。
这对于(美国这样) 全球最好的高等教育体系来说既是机会也是警示。
美国几乎拥有全球所有最好的大学。
中国的一项调查显示,全球排名前 0的大学中美国占 个,全球排名前 0的大学中美国占 个。
美国能够创造全球 %的财富,这要得益于它的竞争力优势,而我们的研究型大学正是发展这一优势的关键。
00 年,全球最聪明的学生中有 , 0 个人去了美国的大学。
不过,美国的高等教育中也存在危机。
美国的大学需要在市场中竞争。
学生们可以在 ,000所公立、私立、非盈利、盈利或者宗教性质的学校中选择自己接受的大学教育。
而且,联邦政府 0亿的大学研究拨款也几乎都是按照大学竞争力分配的。
然而,很多大学还在固步自封。
例如,从美国独立战争之前到现在,学年一直都是从第一年秋天到第二年春天,没怎么变化,那时美国是一个农业国,夏季学生们会把书本扔在一旁去田间劳作。
( ) 现在,夏天没必要放长假了。
乔治•华盛顿大学前任校长Stephen Trachtenberg估计,一年中,一个大学中教学设备用于教学的时间只有半年多一点。
他曾写道“教学设备即使不用,学校仍要支付维护设备的费用,这就造成大学运营成本的增高”。
在学术部门里,职位终身制加上年龄歧视,使得教员流动很困难,而教员流动对于大学的与时俱进十分重要。
( ) 终身职位体系非但没有保护言论、鼓励多样化和创新思维,反而压制了它们——年轻教授必须赢得有终身职位的同事的肯定才能获得终身职位,导致了思想单一,甚至有时还抑制了思想的自由传播。

The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Chares V. By the seventeenth century it had ceased to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. (1) It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed carriages. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King’s letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corrupt deeds of the government. V oltaire the famous French writer spent a year there in 1717_1718, and another l2 days in 1726. For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, the ―Conquerors of the Bastille‖ found only seven prisoners inside. None the less, the Bastille was hated by the people. (2) It was a symbol of the King's complete power.1. The Bastille had been a prison______ D ___________.A. since the time of Charles VB. since 1370C. before the seventeenth centuryD. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu2. According to the passage, which of the following is not true? AA. Anyone, who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in the Bastille.B.

According to the passage, which of the following statement is true? CA. All prisoners in the Bastille suffered life imprisonment.B. Over the years the number of Prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more.C. The King could put people in, or let them go out, as he wanted.D. At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people.5. The main purpose of this passage is to ____ D __________.A. tell a storyB. tell about interesting charactersC. show the inner working of the BastilleD. try to prove a pointPassage twoMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Danver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Messouri for Christ mas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Okiahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register, I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple that I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the wa y into the city, and when I get out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?‖ I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment; so when I got home; I wrote them a note to say thanks, I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you‖- two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.6.The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City___ A __A. to visit a friendB. to see his parentsC.to pay or the cash registerD.to have more gas for his car7.The words ―took off‖ in Paragraph 2 mean―____B___ ‖ .A. turned offB. moved offC. put upD. set up8.What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?

Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ effort to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. ―In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,‖ Lewis says, ―and the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.‖The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. ―Middle children are invisible,‖ says Lewis. ―When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.‖ There is, however, one thing that stops a ll conversation and prevents anyone from having attention. ―When the TV is on,‖ Lewis says, ―dinner is a non-event.‖16.The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ___ C _____.A.show the relationship between parents and childrenB.teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC.report on the findings of a studyD.give information about family problems17.Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ____ B _______.A.they are busy serving food to their childrenB.they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC.they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD.they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family18.By saying “Middle children are invisible”in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children ___ B ___.A.have to help their parents to serve dinnerB.get the least attention from the familyC.are often kept away from the dinner tableD.find it hard to keep up with other children19.Lewis’research provides an answer to the question _____ D ____.A.why TV is important in family lifeB.why parents should keep good orderC.why children in small families seem to be quieterD.why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life20.Which of the following statements would the writer agree to? CA.It is important to have the right food for children.B.It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C.Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D.Elder children should help the younger ones at dinnerPassage fiveYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stunt girls too.21. Stuntmen are those who ___ C ___.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives22. Stuntmen earn their living by __ B ____.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains23. When a stuntman falls from a high building, __ D ____.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right24. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance? BA. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.25. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman? AA. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.三.完型填空Passage oneA land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply—all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. _1__ they were not enough.
