(范文一）

Profound implication can be seen from this sentence that the mutual trust has been more and more widespread.Just as a saying goes, the trust is the bridge to connect with the outside world.Based on what I have learned and gained form life and study, the trust between teachers and students is advocated and beneficial for us to achieve and keep it.

In the contemporary world, it has become a trend to ignore the importance of trusting others. To begin with, building the trust between teachers and students will exert a tremendous effect on efficiently coping with problems and conflicts such as listening to teachers’ advice and giving a positive response. For instance, when we trust teachers who take efforts to help us , we can have the enthusiasm to work hard instead of hating studies. To specifically, building the trust enables to construct a harmonious relationship in order to get successful in various fields. Last but not least, as students, once we find it hard to have a happy attitude towards to studying and life,we should realize the necessities and communicate with teachers as much as possible.

In a word, building the trust is more indispensable than before.Only in this way, can we gain others’ understanding and trust and seek for solutions to change circumstances and make a difference.

(范文二）沈阳王长喜四六级教学部评析

“Let students become the angels of love and learning” is a dream that teachers and parents intend to achieve. So how to create a good learning environment for students is of great importance. Building respect and trust is the bridges to communicate the emotions of teachers and students.

To begin with， students can feel the love of teachers. When students think that teachers love him and value him， they want to close to teachers and they can truly love teachers. The teacher-student relationship will definitely be more harmonious.

Besides，building trust will facilitate the sharing of sentiment and ideas among teachers and students， sharing of knowledge resources and insights， and will help enrich the teaching content and obtain new discoveries.

Thus，building trust can narrow the distance between students and teachers， which is helpful for teachers’ teaching and good for students’ cultivation.

Conversation1

长对话1 　

M: What’s all that? Are you going to make a salad?

W: No, I’m going to make a gazpacho. 　

M: What’s that?

W: Gazpacho is a cold soup from Spain. It’s mostly vegetables. I guess you can call it a liquid salad.

M: Cold soup? Sounds weird. 　

W: It’s delicious. Trust me! I tried it for the first time during my summer vacation in Spain. You see, in the south of Spain, it gets very hot and summer, up to 42 degrees Celsius, so a cold gazpacho is very refreshing. The main ingredients are tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, olive oil and stale bread. 　

M: Stale bread? Surely you mean bread for dipping into the soup. W: No. bread is crushed and blended in, like everything else. It adds texture and thickness to the soup.

M: um…and is it healthy?

W: Sure. As I said earlier, it’s mostly vegetables. You can also add different things if you like such as half-boiled eggs or cured ham.

M: Cured ham? What’s that? 　

W: That’s another Spanish delicacy. Have you never heard of it? It’s quite famous. 　

M: No. Is it good too?

W: Oh, yeah, definitely. It’s amazing. It’s a little dry and salty. And it is very expensive because it comes from a special type of pig that only eats a special type of food. The ham is covered in salt to dry and preserve it, and left hung for up to two years. It has a very distinct favor.

M: um, sounds interesting. Where can I find some? 　

W: It used to be difficult to get Spanish produce here, but it's now a lot more common. Most large supermarket chains have cured ham in little packets. But in Spain, you can buy a whole leg. M: A whole pig leg? Why would anybody want so much ham? W: In Spain, many people buy a whole leg for special group events such as Christmas. They cut it themselves into very thin slices with a long flat knife. 　

Q1 What do we learn about gazpacho? 　

Q2 For what purpose is stale bread mixed into gazpacho? Q3 Why does the woman think gazpacho is healthy? 　

Q4 what does the women say about cured ham?

1. A. It is a Spanish soup

2. C. To make it thicker.

3. B. It is mainly made of vegetables.

4. D. It comes from a special kind of pig.

M: Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.

W: Hi, yes. What kind of wine would you like?

M: I don’t know. Sorry, I don’t know much about wine. 　

W: That’s no problem at all. What’s the occasion and how much would you like to spend?

M: It’s for my boss. It’s his birthday. I know he likes wine but I don’t know what type. I also did not want anything too expensive. Maybe middle range. How much would you say is a middle range bottle of a wine approximately?

W: Well, it varies greatly. Our lowest prices are around 60 dollars a bottle but those are table wines. They are not very special and I would not suggest them as a gift. On the other hand, our most expensive bottles are over a hundred and fifty dollars. If you are looking for something priced in the middle, I would say anything between 30 dollars and 60 dollars would make a decent

gift. How does that sound?

M: um, yeah. I guess something in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good. Which type would you recommend? 　

W: I would say the safest option is always a red wine. They are generally more popular than whites and can usually be paired with food more easily. Our specialty here are Italian wines and these tend to be fruity with medium acidity. This one here is a Chianti which is perhaps Italy's most famous type of red wine. Alternatively, you may wish to try and surprise your boss with something less common such as this Zinfandel. The grapes are originally native to Croatia, but this winery is in eastern Italy. And it has more spicy and peppery flavor. So, to summarize, the Chianti is more classical and Zinfandel more exciting. Both are similarly priced, and just under 40 dollars. 　

M: I'll go with Chianti then, thanks.

Q5 What does the woman think of table wines?

Q6 What is the price range of wine the man will consider? Q7 Why does the woman recommend red wines?

Q8 What do we learn about the wine the man finally bought?

5. C. They do not make decent gifts.

6. D. $30-$40

7.A. They go well with different kinds of food.

8. C. It is Italy’s most famous type of red wine.

Passage 1

Many people enjoy secret codes. The harder the code, the more some people will try to figure it out. In wartime, codes are especially important. They help army send news about battles and the sizes of enemy forces. Neither side wants its codes broken by the other. One very important code was never broken. It was used during World War II by the Americans. It was a spoken code never written down. And it was developed and used by Navajo Indians. They were called “the Navajo code talkers” the Navajos created the code in their own language. Navajo is hard to learn. Only a few people know it. So it was pretty certain that the enemy would not be able to understand the cold talkers. In addition, the talkers used code words. They called a submarine an iron fish and a small bomb thrown by hand a potato. If they wanted to spell something, they used code words for letters of the alphabet. For instance, the letter A was ant or apple or eggs. The code talkers worked mostly in the islands in the Pacific. One or two would be assigned to a group of soldiers. They would send messages by field telephone to the code talker in the next group. And he would relay the information to his commander. The code talkers played an important part in several battles. They helped troops coordinate their movements and attacks. After the war, the US government honored them for what they had accomplished. Theirs was the most successful wartime code ever used.

Passage2

　If you are young and thinking about your career. You want to know where you can make a living. Well, it’s going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge-intensive jobs in the next twenty years. Particularly, in the two largest sectors of labor force with professional skills. One is teaching and the other healthcare. You have so many applications and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of healthcare and education sectors would be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost. Now, where will the new jobs be found? Well, the one extra economy can’t be easily duplicated by even smart technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector. That is, you can’t really get a robot to do a great massage or physically therapy. Or you can’t get the kind of personal attention your need with regard to therapy or any other personal services. They could be very high and personal services. Therapists do charge a lot of money. I think there’s no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care people would like if they could afford it. But the real question in the future is how come people afford these things if they don’t have money because they can’t get a job that pays enough. That’s why I wrote this book which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes to what we used to consider

high income work.

Lecture 1

American researchers have discovered the world's oldest paved road, a 4,600-year-old highway. it linked a stone pit in the Egyptian desert to waterways that carried blocks to monument sites along the Nile. The eight-mile road is at least 500 years older than any previously discovered road. It is the only paved road discovered in ancient Egypt, said geologist Thomas Bown of the U.S. Geological Survey. He reported the discovery Friday, "The road probably doesn't rank with the pyramids as a construction feat, but it is a major engineering achievement," said his colleague, geologist James Harrell of the University of Toledo. "Not only is the road earlier than we thought possible, we didn't even think they built roads." The researchers also made a discovery in the stone pit at the northern end of the road: the first evidence that the Egyptians used rock saws. "This is the oldest example of saws being used for cutting stone," said Bown’s colleague, James Hoffmeier of Wheaton College in Illinois,"That's two technologies we didn't know they had," Harrell said. "And we don't know why they were both abandoned." The road was discovered in the Faiyum Depression, about 45 miles southwest of Cairo. Short segments of the road had been observed by earlier explorers, Bown said, but they failed to realize its significance or follow up on their observations. Bown and his colleagues stumbled across it while they were doing geological mapping in the region. The road was clearly built to provide services for the newly discovered stone pit. Bown and Harrell have found the camp that housed workers at the stone pit. The road appears today to go nowhere, ending in the middle of the desert. When it was built, its terminal was a dock on the shore of Lake Moeris, which had an elevation of about 66 feet above sea level, the same as the dock. Lake Moeris received its water from the annual floods of the Nile. At the time of the floods, the river and lake were at the same level and connected through a gap in the hills near the modern villages of el-Lahun and Hawara. Harrell and Bown believe that blocks were loaded onto barges during the dry season, then floated over to the Nile during the floods to be shipped off to the monument

sites at Giza and Saqqara.

Lecture 3

Recording 3 　

　Ronald and Louis married for 2 decades consider themselves a happy couple but in the early years of their marriage both were disturbed by persistent arguments that seemed to fade away without ever being truly resolved. They uncovered clues towards what was going wrong by researching a fascinating subject: How birth order affects not only your personality but also how compatible you are with your mate. Ronald and Louis are only children, and "onlys" grow up accustomed to be the apple of parents’ eyes. Match two “onlys”, and you have partners who subconsciously expect each other to continue fulfilling this expectation, while neither has much experience in the giving end. Here is a list of common birth order characteristics, and some thoughts on the best and worst, marriage would match for each. The oldest tends to be self-assured, responsible, a high-achiever and relatively serious and reserved. He may be slow to make friends, perhaps contained with only one companion. The best matches are with a youngest, an only or a mate raised in a large family. The worst match is with another oldest, since the two will be too sovereign to share a household comfortably. The youngest child of the family thrives on attention, and tends to be out-going, adventurous, optimistic, creative and less ambitious than others in the family. He may lack self-discipline, and have difficulty making decisions on his own. A youngest brother of brothers, often unpredictable and romantic, will match best with an oldest sister of brothers. The youngest sister of brothers is best matched with an oldest brother of sisters who will happily indulge these traits. The middle child is influenced by many variables; However, "middles" are less likely to take initiative, and more anxious and self-critical than others. "Middles" often successfully marry other "middles", since both are strong untacked, not so strong on aggressiveness, and tend to crave affection. The only child is often most comfortable when alone. But since an only tends to be a well-adjusted individual, she’ll eventually learn to relate to any chosen spouse. The male only child expects his wife to make life easier without getting much in return. He is sometimes best matched with a younger sister of brothers. The female only child who tends to be slightly more flexible is well matched with an older man who will indulge her tendency to test his love. Her worst match? Another only. Of

course.

Passage 1

At some 2300 miles in length， the Mississippi is the longest river in the United States. At some 1000 miles， the Mackenzie is the longest river in Canada. But these waterways seem mute in comparison to the world’s two longest rivers --- the Nile and the Amazon. The Nile， which begins in central Africa and flows over 4100 miles north into the Mediterranean. Host to one of the world’s great ancient civilizations along its shores， Calm and peaceful for most of the year， the Nile used to flood annually. Their by creating， irrigating and caring new top soil to the nearby farmland on which ancient Egypt depended for a livelihood. As a means of transportation， the river carried various vessels up and down its length. A journey through the unconstructed part of this waterway today would pass by the splendid valley of the kings with tombs of many of these ancient monarchs， having stood for over 3000 years. Great civilizations and intensive settlements are hardly associated with the Amazon. Yet this 4000 mile-long south American river carries about 20% of the world’s fresh water， more than the Mississippi， Nile and the Mackenzie combined. Other statistics are equally astonishing. the Amazon is so wide at some points that from its center neither shore can be seen. Each second the Amazon pours some 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic. There， at it’s mouth stands one island larger than Switzland.Most important of all, the Amazon irrigates the

Return across it， I found myself feeling my timer with endless work meetings in social events. Russian along as busy as it be. Then， one day， （14） I came across a book， called in praise of slowness and realized that being busy is not only detrimental， but also has the danger of turning life into endless race. So I started practicing various practical steps， mentioned by the author of the book， and began to revolt against every idea of being too busy. It doesn’t mean that to do lists no longer exist， （15） but I become more aware of the important of slowing down and making sure that I enjoy the daily activities as I care about.

Lecture 1

Government’s private groups and indivisuals spend billions of dollars a year trying to route out non-native organisms that are considered dangerous to ecosystems and to prevent the introduction of new intruders.（16）But a number of scientists question the assumption that the presence of alien species can never be acceptable in a natural ecosystem.They say that portraying introduced species as inherently bad is an unscientific approach. （17）“Distinctions between exotic and native species are artificial”， said Dr. Michael Rosenspeek， a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona.“Because they depend on pegging a date and calling the plans on animals that show up after the date， exotic.”Ecosystems free of species to find as exotic are by default consider the most natural.“You can’t roll back the clock and remove all the exotics or fix habitats，” Dr. Rosenspeek said， “Both native and exotic species can become invasive，and so they all have to be monitored and controlled when they begin to get out of the hand ”At its core， the debate is about how to manage the world’s remaining natural ecosystems and how and how much to restore other habitats.Species that invade a territory can harm ecosystems， agriculture and human health.They can threaten some native species or even destroy and replace others.Next habitat loss， these evasive species represents the greatest threat to bio-diversity worldwide， many ecologists say.Ecologists generally define an alien species as one that people accidentally or deliberately carried to its new location.Across the American continents， exotic species are those introduced after the first European contact.That date rounded of to 15 AD， represents what ecologist considered to have been a major shift in the spread of species including crops and life stock as they began to migrate with humans from continent to continent.（18）“Only a small percentage of alien species calls problems in their new habitats，”said Don Smith， professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Univiersity of Tenacy.“Of the 7000 alien species in the United States， out of a total of 150 species， only about 10% are invasive，” he pointed out， “The other 90% have fit into their environments and are considered naturalized. ”　“Yet appearances can deceive， ”ecologiest caution， “and many these exotics may be considered acceptable only because no one has documented their harmful affects.What is more， non native species can appear harmless then turn invasive.”

16. What assumption about introduced species is challenged by a number of scientists？

16. C) They pose a threat to the local ecosystem.

卷二：

When Elon Musk says that his new priority is using artificial intelligence to build domestic robots, we should look forward to the day in admiration. Mr. Musk is a guy who gets things done. The founder of two tech companies, Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and 26 humans to live on other planets. This sounds like so much hot air, but the near $13 billion fortune this entrepreneur has 27 comes from practical achievements rather than hypothetical ones. A lot of clever people are 28 about artificial intelligence, fearing that robots will one day become so 29 that they’ll murder all of us. These fears are mostly 30 : as with hysteria about genetic modification, we humans are generally wise enough to manage these problems with speed and care. And just think of how wonderful it would be if you had a live-in robot. It could, 31 , be like having a babysitter and a nurse rolled into one--or, if that required 32 intelligence beyond the power of Mr. Musk’s imagined machine, at least someone to chop the carrots, wash the car and mow the lawn. Once purchased and trained, this would allow the 33 user to save money and time, freeing up 34 space in our busy lives to read a good book. That is why we welcome Mr. Musk’s latest 35 , and wish him well. As long as robots add to the sum of human happiness, reduce suffering, and create time to read world-class journalism, we should be their fans. Especially since journalism

is one job robots will never do.

A) amassed B)casual C)emotional D)enabling E)eventually F)exaggerated G)extravagant H)generously I)misleading J)precious K)reward L)smart M)sphere N)terrified O)venture

26. enabling

解析：根据上下文语法结构，此处必须是动词现在分词的形式，而misleading意思不对，因此选enabling, enable somebody to do something, 意为“可以使某人做某事”.

27. A. amassed

解析：根据上下文语法结构，在has后面的这个单词，应该是动词的过去分词形式，而exaggerated意思不对，因此选amassed, amass是“积累”之意.

28. N.terrified

解析：本空所在句表明一些人对于机器人的态度，在逗号后面有fearing, 表示害怕，所以这里的意思应该和后面的意思保持一致，所以用terrified, be terrified about表示对某事有恐惧.

29. L. smart

解析：本空在so之后，应该填形容词，根据上下文的意思，是说一些人害怕机器人变得太聪明，所以只能选smart.

30. F. exaggerated

解析：本空之后的意思主要是说人们有能力控制机器人，所以这种恐惧是“过于渲染的，夸张的”，根据本空所要填的词性和上下文意思，我们只能选择exaggerated.

31. E. eventually

解析：根据上下文，本空只能填副词，而generously的意思并不符合上下文意思，所以选择eventually, 表示“终究”.

32. C. emotional

解析：本空在名词intelligence之前，为形容词，而选项中其他形容词都不符合句子意思，只有emotional intelligence符合.

33. B. casual

解析：本空在名词user前，因此只能填形容词，terrified, smart, emotional已经选过，剩下的形容词casual在这里正好合适.

34. J. Precious

解析：本空在space前，需要填形容词，根据上下文意思，这句话想表达的含义是“机器人可以帮忙碌的人们节省时间，为人们提供宝贵的空间”，因此选“precious”.

35. O. venture

解析：根据本句意思，我们欢迎埃伦马斯克的什么，这里需要填一个名词.这个名词就是马斯克对机器人使用的商业尝试，而venture是“商业冒险”，符合题意，因此选venture.

很多同学拿到选词填空的时候，按照以往的经验，第一个步骤是把每个词汇进行通读，通读完以后，第一件事是要知道这些单词什么意思，还有知道词性.但是在考场上，把所有的词汇先写意思再写词性，密密麻麻放在一个框里给人的感觉非常的不爽，后面的题做的时候必然感觉不好.还有很多同学对这些单词进行分析的时候及发现一件事，很多同学有的叫不准，比如A（campaign）是一个六级词汇，翻译为运动的意思，但是有的同学突然在考场上卡住了，再看BCD的时候信心不足.除此之外大家在浏览的过程中，你会发现整个框当中有很多动词发生了一些变化，比如说像F选项，很多选项都出现了这样的情况.当动词发生变形的时候，要么是动词，要么变成了形容词，在这样的情况下，填到横线中必然压力很大.文章必须要简单进行分类，因为外国人写文章的时候，题材相对比较统一，如果发现了一篇文章当中比如说出现了写作，这里出现了考察作者的生活，一般还出现了女生的话，我们叫做人文文章中的性别歧视.性别歧视在六级当中出现的次数比较多.如果出现这种情况，整个文章充满了黑暗的色彩，但是女生要怎么做呢？女生要奋起直追，要赶上男生.很多同学做的时候，比如26题的时候不知道怎么填空，26题说the woman …… for writing，这个词本身同学们就有一个压力，但是后面出现了but却是非常清晰的，就是大伙儿都认可的事，什么事情呢？他说这个女人怎么样，关键要先判断词性.

所以总结一个非常重要的一点，以后大家做选词填空的时候，作题的顺序适当地做一些小变化.第一件事迅速地扫描选项，然后把词性归类.扫描完以后，大概知道整个词当中有名词、动词，可能还有复词等等，然后在框的边上先把所有的框架列好，然后再分析，然后再填上刚才列的框架当中.下面一个小步骤，以段落为中心，大体的扫描，也就说把这个段落简单地进行分析，进行通读.举例来说，我们看32小题，前面说的是，他发起了一个名字，这个名词想干什么呢，要一个全国性的假期，这个假期要干什么呢？他说在celebrating the festivals，那就是让家庭聚在一起.在这里本身有庆祝，庆祝什么样的节日呢，于是同学们在找的过程中，可以知道32题填的必然是形容词.于是可以发现，在这里要填N了.大家会看到，这个全国性的假期，是刚刚发起的.如果你填了traditional的话，这个假期之前就有的，所以不通读的话产生的就是这样的效果.这个就是选词填空，一定要记住，先做好了铺垫然后再作题，这个效果会非常好.

Section B

Directions： In this section， you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the question by marking the corresponding

letter on Answer Sheet 2.

Peer Pressure Has a Positive Side

A. Parents of teenagers often view their children‘s friends with something like suspicion. They worry that the adolescent peer group has the power to push its members into behavior that is foolish and even dangerous. Such wariness is well founded： statistics show， for example， that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of a fatal crash than an adolescent driving alone or with an adult.

B. In a 2005 study， psychologist Laurence Steinberg of Temple University and his co-author， psychologist Margo Gardner， then at Temple， divided 306 people into three age groups： young adolescents， with a mean age of 14； older adolescents， with a mean age of 19； and adults， aged 24 and older. Subjects played a computerized driving game in which the player must avoid crashing into a wall that materializes， without warning， on the roadway. Steinberg and Gardner randomly assigned some participants to play alone or with two

same-age peers looking on.

C. Older adolescents scored about 50 percent higher on an index of risky driving when their peers were in the room—and the driving of early adolescents was fully twice as reckless when other young teens were around. In contrast， adults behaved in similar ways regardless of whether they were on their own or observed by others. “The presence of peers makes adolescents and youth， but not adults， more likely to take risks，” Steinberg

and Gardner concluded.

D. Yet in the years following the publication of this study， Steinberg began to believe that this interpretation did not capture the whole picture. As he and other researchers examined the question of why teens were more apt to take risks in the company of other teenagers， they came to suspect that a crowd‘s influence need not always be negative. Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teen brain’s keen sensitivity to the presence of friends and leverage it to improve education.

E. In a 2011 study， Steinberg and his colleagues turned to functional MRI （磁共振） to investigate how the presence of peers affects the activity in the adolescent brain. They scanned the brains of 40 teens and adults who were playing a virtual driving game designed to test whether players would brake at a yellow light or speed on through the crossroad.

F. The brains of teenagers， but not adults， showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers than when alone. In other words， rewards are more intense for teens when they are with peers， which motivates them to pursue higher-risk experiences that might bring a big payoff （such as the thrill of just making the light before it turns red）. But Steinberg suspected this tendency could also have its advantages. In his latest experiment， published online in August， Steinberg and his colleagues used a computerized version of a card game called the Iowa Gambling Task to investigate how the presence of peers affects the way young people gather and apply information.

G. The results： Teens who played the Iowa Gambling Task under the eyes of fellow adolescents engaged in more exploratory behavior， learned faster from both positive and negative outcomes， and achieved better performance on the task than those who played in solitude. “What our study suggests is that teenagers learn more quickly and more effectively when their peers are present than when they‘re on their own，” Steinberg says. And this finding could have important implications for how we think about educating adolescents.

H. Matthew D. Lieberman， a social cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California， Los Angeles， and author of the 2013 book Social： Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect， suspects that the human brain is especially adept at learning socially salient information. He points to a classic 2004 study in which psychologists at Dartmouth College and Harvard University used functional MRI to track brain activity in 17 young men as they listened to descriptions of people while concentrating on either socially relevant cues （for example， trying to form an impression of a person based on the description） or more socially neutral information （such as noting the order of details in the description）. The descriptions were the same in each condition， but people could better remember these statements when given a social motivation.

I. The study also found that when subjects thought about and later recalled descriptions in terms of their informational content， regions associated with factual memory， such as the medial temporal lobe， became active. But thinking about or remembering descriptions in terms of their social meaning activated the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex—part of the brain‘s social network—even as traditional memory regions registered low levels of activity. More recently， as he reported in a 2012 review， Lieberman has discovered that this region may be part of a distinct network involved in socially motivated learning and memory. Such findings， he says， suggest that “this network can be called on to process and store the kind of information taught in school—potentially giving students access to a range of

untapped mental powers.”

J. If humans are generally geared to recall details about one another， this pattern is probably even more powerful among teenagers who are hyperattentive to social minutiae： who is in， who is out， who likes whom， who is mad at whom. Their penchant for social drama is not—or not only—a way of distracting themselves from their schoolwork or of driving adults crazy. It is actually a neurological（神经的） sensitivity， initiated by hormonal changes. Evolutionarily speaking， people in this age group are at a stage in which they can prepare to find a mate and start their own family while separating from parents and striking out on their own. To do this successfully， their brain prompts them to think and even obsess about others.

K. Yet our schools focus primarily on students as individual entities. What would happen if educators instead took advantage of the fact that teens are powerfully compelled to think in social terms？ In Social， Lieberman lays out a number of ways to do so. History and English could be presented through the lens of the psychological drives of the people involved. One could therefore present Napoleon in terms of his desire to impress or Churchill in terms of his lonely melancholy Less inherently interpersonal subjects， such as math， could acquire a social aspect through team problem solving and peer tu.toring. Research shows that when we absorb information in order to teach it to someone else， we learn it more accurately and deeply， perhaps in part because we are engaging our social

cognition.

L. And although anxious parents may not welcome the notion， educators could turn adolescent recklessness to academic ends. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity，” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore， a cognitive neuroscientist at University College London， in a review published last year. Yet， she noted， many young people are especially risk averse at school—afraid that one low test score or mediocre grade could cost them a spot at a selective university. We should assure such students that risk， and even peer pressure， can be a good thing—as long as it happens in the classroom and not the car.

36. It is thought probable that the human brain is particularly good at picking-up socially important information.

37. It can be concluded from experiment that the presence of peers increases risk-taking by adolescents and youth.

38. Students should be told that risk XXX classroom can be

something positive.

39. The XXX a mate and getting married accounts for adolescents’ greater attention to social interactions.

40. According to Steinberg， the presence of peers increases the speed and effectiveness of teenagers’ leaning.

41. Teenagers’ parents are often concerned XXX negative peer influence.

42. Activating the XXX network involved in socially motivated learning and memory may XXX tap XXX mental powers.

43. The presence of peer intensifies the feeling of rewards in teens’ brains.

44. When we absorb information for the purpose of imparting it to ethers， we do so with greater secretary and depth.

45. Some experts are suggesting that we turn peer influence to good use in education.

第二套：

In the real world, nobody cares that you went to an Ivy League

school.

A) As a high school junior, everything in my life revolved around getting into the right college. I diligently attended my SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement test preparation courses. I juggled（尽力应付）cross-country and track schedules, newspaper staff, and my church's youth group and drama team. I didn't drink, party, or even do much dating. The right college, I thought, was one with prestige, one with a name. It didn't have to be the Ivy League, but

it needed to be “top school.”

B) Looking back now, nine years later, I can't remember exactly what it was about these universities that made them seem so much better. Was it a curriculum that appeared more rigorous, perhaps? Or an alumni network that I hoped would open doors down the line? Maybe. “I do think there are advantages to schools with more recognition,” notes Marybeth Gasman, a professor of higher education at the University of Pennsylvania. “I don't necessarily

think that's a reason to go to one.”

C) In reflection, my firm belief in the power of the brand was naive, not to mention a bit snobby. I quickly passed over state schools and southern schools, believing their curriculums to be automatically inferior to northeastern or western counterparts. Instead, I dreamed of living in New York City and my parents obliged me with a visit to New York University's (NYU) campus. During the tour, tuition fees were discussed. (NYU is consistently ranked one of the country's most expensive schools, with room and board costs totaling upwards of $64,000 a year.) Up until then, I hadn't truly realized just how expensive an education can be. Over the next few months, I realized not only could I not afford my dream school, I couldn't even afford the ones where I'd been accepted. City University of New York (CUNY), Rutgers University, and Indiana University were out of reach as were Mississippi State and the University of Alabama, where I would have to pay out-of-state fees. Further complicating my college search was a flourishing stack career—I wanted to keep running but my times weren't quite fast enough to secure a scholarship.

D) And so, at 11pm on the night of Georgia State University's (GSU) midnight deadline, I applied online. Rated No.466 overall on Forbes' Lists Top Colleges, No. 183 in Research Universities, and No. 108 in the South, I can't say it was my top choice. Still, the track coach had offered me a walk-on spot, and I actually found the urban Atlanta campus a decent consolation prize after New York City.

E) While it may have been practical, it wasn't prestigious, But here's the thing: I loved my “lower-tier” (低层次的) university. (I use the term “low-tier” cautiously, because GSU is a well-regarded research institution that attracts high quality professors and faculty from all over the country.) We are taught to believe that only by going to the best schools and getting the best grades can we escape the rat race and build a better future. But what if lower-tier colleges and universities were the ticket to escaping the rat race? After all, where else can you leave school with a decent degree—but without a lifetime of debt?

F) My school didn't come pre-packaged like the more popular options, so we were left to take care of ourselves, figuring out city life and trying to complete degree programs that no one was championing for us to succeed in. What I'm saying is, I loved my university because it taught us all to be resourceful and we could make what we wanted out of it.

G) I was lucky enough to have my tuition covered by a lottery-funded scholarship called HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally). When I started college, the HOPE scholarship was funded by the state of Georgia and offered to graduating high school seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Living costs and books I paid for with money earned during high school, supplemented by a small college fund my deceased grandfather left for me and a modest savings account my parents created when I was born.

H) So what about all that name recognition? Sure, many of my colleagues and competitors have more glamorous alma maters（母校）than I do. As a journalist, I have competed against NYU, Columbia, and Northeastern graduates for jobs. And yet, not a single interviewer has ever asked me about my educational background. In fact, almost every interview I've ever had was due to a connection—one that I've gained through pure determination, not a school brand.

I) According to The Boston Globe, students who earned their bachelor's in 2012 have an average monthly loan payment of $312, which is one-third more than those who graduated in 2004. Ultimately, that's the thing universities don't want to admit. Private universities are money-making institutions. If you can afford to buy prestige, that's your choice. For the rest of us, however, our hearty lower-tiered universities are just fine, thank you.

J) Wealthy universities talk up the benefits their name will give graduates; namely, strong alumni networks, star faculty, and a résumé boost. But you needn't attend an Ivy League school to reap those rewards. Ludacris and the former CEO of Bank of America Ken Lewis are alumni of my college, as well as VICE's first female editor-in-chief, Ellis Jones. Successful people tend to be successful no matter where they go to school. And lower-tier schools can have alumni networks just as strong as their big name counterparts. In fact, lower-tier school alumni networks are arguably stronger, because fellow alumni recognize that you didn't necessarily have an easy path to follow. They might be more willing to offer career help, because your less famous school denotes that, like them., you are also full of energy and perseverance.

K) The Washington Post reported on a recent study by Princeton economists, in which college graduates, who applied to the most selective schools in the 12th grade were compared to those who applied to slightly less selective schools. They found that students with more potential earned more as adults, and the reverse held true as well, no matter where they went to school.

L) Likewise, star faculty is not always found where you'd expect. Big name schools are not necessarily the best places for professors; plus, many professors split teaching time between multiple colleges and/or universities. This means, for instance, a CUNY student could reasonably expect to receive the same quality of instruction from a prestigious professor as they would if they were enrolled in the same class at NYU.

M) It's possible that some hiring managers may be drawn to candidates with a particular educational résumé, but it's no guarantee. According to a 2012 survey described in The Atlantic, college reputation ranked lowest in relative importance of attributes in evaluating graduates for hire, beaten out by top factors like internships, employment during college, college major, volunteer experience, and extracurriculars.

N) Maybe students who choose less prestigious universities are bound to succeed because they are determined to. I tend to think so. In any case, if I could do it again, I'd still make the same choice. Today I'm debt-free, resourceful—and I understand that even the shiniest packaging can't predict what you'll find on the inside.

Section C

Direction： There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choice and our marked A），B），C） and D）.You should decide on the best choice and nark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

The Ebro Delta， in Spain， famous as a battleground during the Spanish Civil War， is now the setting for a different contest， one that is pitting rice farmers against two enemies： the rice-eating giant apple snail， and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.

Located on the Mediterranean just two hours south of Barcelona， the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year， making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these freshwater marshes， however， rising salinity （盐分） is hampering rice production. At the same time， this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail， an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to harness

one foe against the other.

The battle is currently being waged on land， in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice” are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish

and Italian dishes.

“The project has two sides，” says Xavier Serrat， Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona. “The short-term fight against the snail， and a mid- to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project

greater urgency.”

Originally from South America， the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Tecnologies， a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums （水族馆）， but failed to prevent their escape. For now， the giant apple snail’s foothold in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory， says Serrat. “The question is not if it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe， but when.”

Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of saline-tolerant rice they’ve concocted. In 2018， farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice-growing regions—along the Po in Italy， and France’s Rhône. A season in the field will help determine which， if any， of the varieties

are ready for commercialization.

As an EU-funded effort， the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt-resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that incorporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome （基因组）.

翻译2

过去，拥有一辆私家车对大部分中国人而言是件奢侈的事.如今，私家车在中国随处可见.汽车成了人们生活中不可或缺的一部分，他们不仅开车上下班，还经常驾车出游.有些城市的汽车增长速度过快，以至于交通拥堵和停车位不足的问题日益严峻，这些城市的市政府不得不出台新规，限制上路汽车的数量.由于空气污染日益严重，现在越来越多的人选择购买新能源汽车，中国政府也采取了一些措施，支持新能源汽车的发展.

In the past， having a private car was a luxury for most Chinese people.Today，private cars are everywhere in China. Cars have become an indispensable part of people’ lives. Not only do they drive to work， they often travel by car. In some cities， the growth of cars is so fast that the problem of traffic jams and lack of parking space is becoming more and more serious. The governments of these cities have to issue new rules to limit the number of cars on the road. As air pollution has become increasingly serious， more and more people are now choosing to purchase new energy vehicles. The Chinese government has also taken some measures to support the development of new energy vehicles.

文章中涉及到的有三大知识点：修饰后置、多动句和无主句.我们先看修饰后置，“过去，拥有一辆私家车对大部分中国人而言是件奢侈的事”，我们应该先调整语序，语序调整为，“拥有私家车是件奢侈的事，对于大多数的中国人而言”，所以应该的翻译应该是：In the past， owning a private car was a luxurious thing for most Chinese people.“奢侈”luxurious这个词有同学不会，如果大家不会可以用简单的词替代，比如是一个昂贵的事expensive，或者是不可能的事情impossible.另外一个需要注意的点就是用一个介词把需要修饰的部分放到后面，“对于大多数的中国人而言”，一定要加一个介词， for most Chinese people.下一个句子“有些城市的汽车增长速度过快，以至于交通拥堵和停车位不足的问题日益严峻”，多少同学看到“严峻”这个词就闹心，说老师这个词我怎么可能会写，你用会写吗？你应该先调整语序.交通拥堵和停车位不足的问题，核心是问题，所以交通拥堵和停车位不足应该修饰这个问题，因此应该把交通拥堵和停车位不足放到问题的后面，the problems of….“增长速度过快”，我们可以说…increasing so fast.“以至于”so…that，这个短语同学应该要掌握.“交通拥堵”，“交通”能说traffic，拥堵jam不知道怎么说，没关系，可以直接写traffic，and“停车位不足”，insufficient parking spaces，“停车”不会写，可以换成stopping the car，所以单词不一定需要很精确.“日益严峻”，越来越严峻，more and more serious就行了.所以完整的翻译应该是Cars in some cities are increasing so fast that the problems of traffic jam and insufficient parking spaces are becoming more and more serious.第二个考察的是多动句.这篇文章一共一百多个字，考察了两个多动句.“这些城市的市政府不得不出台新规，限制上路汽车的数量”，先把语序调整好，“出台”不会写，简单点用开始begin或start也可以；“新规”，“新”会写new，“规”又不会了，rules也可以使用，实在不行，就用法律low这个词代替.政府干了两个事，一个是出台新规，一个是限制.出台新规的目的是限制上路汽车的数量，所以加一个to就可以了.然后再看中国政府也采取了一些措施，支持新能源的汽车的发展，这里先说新能源的发展，再说支持.采取措施的目的不就是为了支持吗，加一个to又可以了.这是最简单的多动句的情况.一般情况下表示目的的来、去、以、为了，在这里，加一个“来”在句子里试试，或者加一个去，加一个以，加一个为了.中国政府采取一个措施，来支持，是不是通顺？去支持，是不是通顺？以支持，是不是通顺？为了支持，一样很通顺.第三个考察的点是无主句.“如今，私家车在中国随处可见”，这个句中，私家车是被人们在中国看见，Now， private cars can be seen everywhere in China.这里要讲一下单词不会的难题，“他们不仅开车上下班，还经常驾车出游”，“上班”不会怎么表达地道，简单说成go to work就行了，同理，“下班”，可以写go home也可以，其实不写也可以，你开车上班不就自然开车上下班了.

　自行车曾经是中国城乡最主要的交通工具，中国一度被称为“自行车王国”.如今，随着城市交通拥挤和空气污染日益严重，骑自行车又开始流行起来.近来，中国企业家将移动互联网技术与传统自行车结合在一起，发明了一种成为共享单车的商业模式.共享单车的出现使骑车出行更加方便，人们仅需用一部手机就可以随时使用共享单车.为了鼓励人们骑车出行，很多城市修建了自行车道.现在，越来越多的中国人也喜

欢通过汽车健身.

参考译文：

Bicycles were once the most important means of transportation in China‘s urban and rural areas， and China was once called the “kingdom of the bicycle“.Nowadays， with the increasingly serious urban traffic congestion and air pollution， cycling has become popular again.Recently， Chinese entrepreneurs have combined mobile Internet technology with traditional bicycles and invented a business model known as shared bikes.The emergence of shared bikes makes cycling more convenient. People are able to use shared bikes at any time with only a mobile phone.In order to encourage people to go cycling， many cities have built bicycle lanes.Now， more and more Chinese people also like to work out by cycling.
