【篇二:2016年6月英语六级真题及答案】
p class=txt>part Ⅰ writing
【答案】
版本一
it is held by some people that knowledge is power, especially scientific and technological knowledge. science and technology are the motive power of the social development, which constitute a primary productive force. the use of robots is the produce of development of science and technology.
people’s views on the use of robots vary from person to person. some hold that human life cannot continue without the use of robots. for many years, human society has developed with the use of science and technology. so the life with the use of robots we are living now is more efficient than that of our fore fathers. they go on to point out that the use of robots has brought about many changes in people‘s life. for example, through the use of robots can improve the work efficiency and avoid dangerous events happening in our life in that we can require robots to do some works with danger instead of human beings.
science and technology of robots are the crystallization of human wisdom. it brought a glorious past to humanity, also will bring bright future to mankind.
版本二
the progression of technology is inevitable and undeniable, which makes the intelligent machine—robots an important part in our life. with the popularity of robots, what will happen to our work and life?
from point of my view, in the near future our work in industry will be operated by robots, which will raise productivity and cut cost of manpower. our cooking, washing and cleaning in our daily life will be completed by robot servers, which will liberate us from trivial housework, and give us more time to do things we like.
however, there is still much real challenge if robots become the mainstream of society. first, the less-skilled people will be out of work as a result of wide application of robots in industry. second, we will get fatter and fatter because of robot doing housework instead of us.
based on the above imagination, we can easily acknowledge that robot is a double-edged sword. we should draw on the advantages and avoid disadvantages, and make it bring maximum benefits to human beings.

of course, youthful idealism is often courageous, and no one likes to give up dreams. perhaps, taken_____(32)out of context, piagets statement seems harsh. what he was_____(33), however, is the way reality can modify idealistic views. some people refer to such modification as maturity. piaget argued that attaining and
accepting a vocation is one of the best ways modify idealized views and to mature.as careers and vocations become less available during times of_____(34), adolescents may be especially hard hit. such difficult economic times may leave many adolescents _____(35)about their roles in society. for this reason, community interventions and government job programs that offer summer and vacation work are not only economically____(36)but also help to stimulate the adolescents sense of worth.

section b
can societies be rich and green?
[a]if our economies are to flourish, if global poverty is to be eliminated and if well-being of the worlds people enhanced-not just in this generation but in succeeding generations-we must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends. that statement comes not, as you might imagine, from a stereotypical tree-hugging, save-the-world greenie(环保主义者), but from gordon brown, a politician with a reputation for rigour, thoroughness and above all, caution.
[b]a surprising thing for the man who runs one of the worlds most powerful economies to say? perhaps; though in the run-up to the five-year review of the millennium(千年的)goals, he is far from alone. the roots of his speech, given in march at the roundtable meeting of environment and energy ministers from the g20 group of nations, stretch back to 1972, and the united nations conference on the human environment in stockholm.
[c]the protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughtout the world, read the final declaration from this gathering, the first of a sequence which would lead to the rio de janerio earth summit in 1992 and the world development summit in johannesburg three years ago.
[d]hunt through the reports prepared by un agencies and development groups-many for conferences such as this years millennium goals review-and you will find that the linkage between environmental protection and economic progress is a common thread.
[e]managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them,
according to the millennium ecosystem assessment. but finding hard evidence to support the thesis is not so easy. thoughts turn first to some sort of global statistic, some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic and environmental terms and show a relationship between the two.
[f]if such an indicator exists, it is well hidden. and on reflection, this is not surprising; the single word environment has so many dimensions, and there are so many other factors affecting wealth-such as the oil deposits-that teasing out a simple economy-environment relationship would be almost impossible.
[g]the millennium ecosystem assessment, a vast four-year global study which reported its initial conclusions earlier this year, found reasons to believe that managing ecosystem sustainably-working with nature rather than against it-might be less profitable in the short term, but certainly brings long-term rewards.
[h]and the world resources institute (wri) in its world resources 2005 report, issued at the end of august, produced several such examples from africa and asia; it also demonstrated that environmental degradation affects the poor more than the rich, as poorer people derive a much higher proportion of their income directly from the natural resources around them.
[i]but there are also many examples of growing wealth by trashing the environment, in rich and poor parts of the world alike, whether through uegulated mineral extraction, drastic water use for agriculture, slash-and-burn farming, or fossil-fuel-guzzling(大量消耗)transport. of course, such growth may not persist in the long term-which is what mr. brown and the stockholm declaration were both attempting to point out. perhaps the best example of boom growth and bust decline is the grand bank fishery. for almost five centuries a very large supply of cod(鳕鱼)provided abundant raw material for an industry which at its peak employed about 40000 people, sustaining entire communities in newfoundland.
then, abruptly, the cod population collapsed. there were no longer enough fish in the sea for the stock to maintain itself, let alone an industry. more than a decade later, there was no sign of the ecosystem rebuilding itself. it had, apparently, been fished out of existence; and the once mighty newfoundland fleet now gropes about frantically for crab on the sea floor.
[j]there is a view that modern humans are inevitably sowing the seeds of a global grand banks-style disaster. the idea is that we are taking more out of what you might call the planets environmental bank balance than it can sustain; we are living beyond our ecological means. one recent study attempted to calculate the extent of
this ecological goods and services-the implication being that at some point the debt will be called in, and all those services-the things which the planet does for us for free-will grind to a halt.
[k]whether this is right, and if so where and when the ecological axe will fell, is hard to determine with any precision-which is why governments and financial institutions are only beginning to bring such risks into their economic calculations. it is also the reason why development agencies are not united in their view of environmental issues; while some, like the wri, maintain the environmental progress needs to go hand-in-hand with economic development, others argue that the priorty is to build a thriving economy, and then use the wealth created to tackle environmental degradation.
[l]this view assumes that rich societies will invest in environmental care. but is this right? do things get better or worse as we get richer? here the stockholm declaration is ambiguous. in the developing countries, it says, most of the environmental problems are caused by underdevelopment. so it is saying that economic development should make for a cleaner world? not necessary; in the industrialised countries, environmental problems are generally related to industrialisation and technological development, it continues. in other words, poor and rich both over-exploit the natural world, but for different reasons. its simply not true that economic growth will surely make our world cleaner.
[m]clearly, richer societies are able to provide environmental improvements which lie well beyond the reach of poorer communities. citizens of wealthy nations demand national parks, clean rivers, clean air and poison-free food. they also, however, use for more natural resources-fuel, water (all those baths and golf courses) and building materials.
[n]a case can be made that rich nations export environmental problems, the most graphic example being climate change. as a countrys wealth grows, so do its greenhouse gas emissions. the figures available will not be completely accurate. measuring emissions is not a precise science, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding land use; not all nations have released up-to-date data, and in any case, emissions from some sectors such as aviation are not included in national statistics. but the data is exact enough for a clear trend to be easily discernible. as countries become richer, they produce more greenhouse gases; and the impact of those gases will fall primary in poor parts of the world.
[o]wealth is not, of course, the only factor involved. the average norwegian is

passage two
questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.
some of the world’s most significant problems never hit headlines.one example comes from agriculture. food riots and hunger make news. but the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. this is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops.a new study by the university of minnesota and mcgill university in montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.
the authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat corn and soybeans(大豆). they find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that tood place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
there are two worrying features of the slowdown. one is that it has been particularly sharp in the world’s most populous(人口多的) countries, india and china. their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. that self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.
second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. this is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. the authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”
the report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the food and agriculture organisation has argued.
instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughted up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to forest or wilderness. this could happen. the trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.
注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

今年的选词填空题仍旧是大家所熟悉的小短文的形式,题材也是大家熟悉的社会生活类文章,主要讲的是创新带来的各种影响。命题者考查的角度主要分为以下几个方面:
⑴固定搭配
36.in the industrial revolution, hand weavers were ____aside by the mechanical loom.
这个句子考查的就是词组的固定搭配了,这句话的含义是:在工业中,手织布工被纺织机_____.在后面这句话中,hand weavers是主语,were ____aside是谓语动词,而且是表示被动的。所以填在横线处的词,既要是一个表示被动的词,又要和aside构成词组,且符合句子的含义。swept是sweep的过去式,sweep aside表示“把...移到一边”的含义。这句话讲的是工业中,机器生产代替工场手工业,把手织布工取代,放到一边的事情,所以swept是正确选项。
⑵上下文语境
37.over the past years, the digital revolution has _____ many of the mid-skilled jobs that supported 20th-century middle class life.typist, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.
这一段话主要讲述了数字化代替了许多生产线上工人的工作。从这个语境可以看出,前面的一句话和后面是承接的关系,因为并无转折。在后面一句话中谈到,打字员、订票员和其他的生产线上的工人,都和手织布工一样被取代了。由于两句话之间是承接、并列
的关系,那么前面肯定也是说数字化取代了一些人的工作。所以,此处空格处缺的是一个动词,和has一起构成谓语动词,且表示“取代”的含义,在所有的已知词汇中,只有displaced符合条件。
从上面的分析我们可以看出,备考大学英语六级不仅仅是背词汇那么简单,在做题的时候除了必要的词汇之外,我们还要有扎实的语法基本功,同时要学会融会贯通,灵活运用上下文的各种线索来帮助解题。只要平时一步一个脚印的稳扎稳打,文都英语老师相信,你们一定可以获得这场战争的胜利!
