2014年6月大学英语六级考试真题(三)答案与详解

Part ⅠWriting

1、审题:这是一篇议论文【考频:★★★】。本次作文的主题是考生比较熟悉的“不要以貌取人”，理解起来难度不大。现实生活中，很多人都不可避免地以貌取人，关注长相而不是个人能力，这种做法是不明智的。

2、列提纲：

3.语言: 运用过渡词及富有逻辑性的词语为文章增色

Don’tJudge People by Their Appearance

Although many people acknowledge the old saying that \"Never judge people by their appearance’’, they still fall into the trap of “good appearance” easily. In my opinion, for a person, abilities are far more important than the appearance.

Firstly,although good appearance can help make an impression, it is always abilities that really matter. Secondly,peopled good appearance is natural, while abilities have to be gained through self- improvement and years of hard work, which speak more of peopled true selves. Last but not least, good appearance fades while abilities can be improved over time. Eventually, it is abilities that help people succeed, so it is safe to say that abilities will always bring more to life than good appearance.

In conclusion, it is unwise to judge people by their appearance and it is always abilities that count in the long run. As college students, we should spend more efforts developing our abilities.

听力原文：

The new year always brings with it a cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll that dreamy film in our heads just because it’s the beginning of a new year. But we are serious about making changes. We just make some half-hearted resolution and it evaporates after a week or two. The experience makes us feel less successful and leads us to discount our ability to change in the future. It’s not that change is -impossible but that it won’t last unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation. We have to make our intentions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will carry us to our goal. Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie. And you know there’s a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out you’ve just shot 132 calories. You say to yourself, “What the hell!” and polish off（飞快地吃完) the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of self, you begin to discount the goal. You may think—“Well, dieting wasn’t that important to me and I won’t make it anyhow. ’’ So you abandon the goal and return to your bad habits.

Americans suffer from an overdose of work. Regardless of who they are or what they do, Americans spend more time at work than at any time n since World War II.

Today,it exceeds every country but Japan where industrial employees log 2 155 hours a year compared with 1951 in the US and 1603 in the former West Germany. Between 1969 and 1989, employed Americans added an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules. The workweek has remained at about 40 hours, But people are working more weeks each year. Specifically, pay-time-off holidays, vacations, sick leave shrank by 50% in the 1980s, As corporations have experienced stiff（严酷的）competition and slower growth in productivity, they have pressed employees to work longer. Cost-cutting lay-offs in the 1980s reduced the professional and managerial ranks, leaving fewer people to get the job done. In lower paid occupations where wages have been reduced, workers have added hours in overtime or extra jobs to preserve their living standards. The government estimates that more than seven million people hold a second job. For the first time, large numbers of people say they want to cut back(削减)onworkinghours evenifitmeansearning less money. But most employers are unwilling to let them do so. The government, which has stepped back from its traditional role as a regulator of work time, should take steps to make shorter hours possible.

36、N)。动词辨析题。空格前为spend more time,后为the grandkids,所以此处需要填人动词的-ing形式，构成spend time doing sth.结构。备选项中符合条件的有illustrating和spoiling,能与空格后的grandkids构成合理搭配的只有spoiling,意为“花更多的时间去溺爱孙辈”，故答案为spoiling“溺爱”。

37、K)。副词辨析题。空格位于动词have之后，名词短语different ideas之前，且句子结构完整，据此判断此处应填人修饰different的副词，或是与different并列修饰ideas的形容词。本句提到，丈夫和妻子对这个问题可能持有不同的看法，备选项中只有radically能修饰different且符合句意，故radically“根本地”为答案。

38、C)。动词辨析题。空格位于found的宾语从句中，在该宾语从句中，41 percent of the 500 couples为主语,it surveyed是定语从句修饰500 couples,宾语从句缺少谓语，所以空格处应填人动词，且能与介词on构成搭配。由第二段首句可知，最大的分歧在于夫妻们如何设想他们晚年的生活方式。空格所在句是对该句的进一步说明，因此，空格处应填入表示“分歧”意义的词。结合备选项，确定答案为disagree“不同意，有分歧”。

39、O)。动词辨析题。空格位于but连接的并列句中，空格前是主语men,空格后是宾语the age,由此推断空格处应填入动词作谓语。根据句意可知，第一个分句与第二个分句构成转折关系，而第一个分句提到妻子一般能正确 判断丈夫的退休年龄，由此可知丈夫应该与妻子相反，也就是说丈夫不能正确判断妻子的退休年龄，故答案为 underestimate “低估”。

40、I)。形容词辨析题。由空格前面的more可推知空格处应填人形容词或副词原形与more—起构成比较级,而且该空格又位于be动词之后，与slightly more—起作表语:，所以此处应填人形容词。根据句意可知，该句主要是将丈夫与妻子对生活水平的态度进行对比，故答案为optimistic“乐观的”。

41、M)。副词辨析题。根据空格后的or可知，空格处填人的单词应与together词性相同、意思相反，故答案为separately “单独地”。

42、A)。动词辨析题。空格位于主语They之后，宾语从句之前，由此推断空格处应填入动词作谓语。由空格所在部分的句意可知，他们 他们的想法一致，后半部分的but表明事实并非如此，只是他们自己“认为”，故答案为assume“认为，假设”。

43、L)。名词辨析题。空格位于the之后，is之前,故空格处应填人名词作句子的主语。由but可知前后两个分句的句意相反，第一个分句提到夫妻双方自认为他们的想法一致，即假设，所以第二个分句应该是描述事实，故答案为reality“事实”。

44、E)。形容词辨析题。空格位于不定冠词a和名词短语retirement date之间，由此推断空格处应填人形容词、动词的分词形式或名词修饰retirement date。空格所在句句意为:常常是 退休日期成了退休规划的催化剂，备选项中，只有forthcoming“即将到来的”符合句意，故为答案。

45、J)。名词辨析题。空格位于动名词短语之中，由空格前面的an early-retirement可以推断，空格处应填人可数名词单数形式。备选项中，符合条件的只有formula和package。此处填入package“一套建议”符合句意，意为“遭到解雇或者接受提前退休建议可以迫使你开始行动”。
