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。
61.What does the author try to draw attention to?
A)Food riots and hunger in the world. C)The decline of the grain yield growth.
B)News headlines in the leading media. D)The food supply in populous countries.
62.Why does the author mention India and China in particular?
A)Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.
B)Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.
C)Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.
D)Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.
63.What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?
A)They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.
B)They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.
C)They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.
D)They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.
64.What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the coming decades?
A)The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.
B)The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.
C)The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.
D)The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.
65.How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?

B)It is based on a doubtful assumption.
C)It is backed by strong evidence.
D)It is open to further discussion.

【2015年6月六级选词填空重点词汇汇总】
prosperity n. 繁荣，成功
displaced adj. 无家可归的，被取代的
responsive adj. 响应的;应答的;回答的
sentiment n. 感情;情绪;情操
shrunk v. 收缩
swept v. 扫除
withdrawn n. 取出，撤退
productive adj. 能生产的，富有成效的
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：在工业革命中，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。这句话讲的是工业革命中，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革命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革命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!

长对话
Conversation 1
W: Jack, sit down and listen. This is important. we’ ll have to tackle the problems of the exporting step by step. And the first move is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now.
M: Why don’t we just concentrate on expending here at home?
W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But you must admit the market here is limited.
M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.
W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feel we can compete with the best of them.
M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge high prices.
W: Exactly.
M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off.
W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.
M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?
W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not?
M: There will be a lot of problems.
W: Nothing we can’t handle.
M: Um… I’m not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with the feasibility study.
W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you be on my side.

10. Why does the man think it’s safe to focus on the home market?
11. What is the man’s concern about selling bikes abroad?
12. What do the speakers agree to do?
Conversation 2
W: What does the term “alternative energy source” mean?
M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground, of which there was a
limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.
W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?
M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a much faster rate that it is being produced
over time. The real controversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’ll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.
W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?
M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and greenhouse effect.
13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?
14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?
15. What does the man think we should do now?

Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!” she said. “You’ve got great timing!” Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the poster near his seat in the bus. “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’ s a good place to start.”

Passage Three
An distressing childhood can lead to heart disease. What about current stresses? Longer workouts, threats of layoffs, collapsing pension funds. A study last year on the lancer examine more than 11,000 heart attack suffers from 52 countries. It found that in the year before their heart attacks. Patients had been under significantly more strains than some 30,000 healthy control subjects. Those strains came from work, family, financial troubles, depression in other causes. "Each of these factors individually was associated with increased risk," says Doctor Salim Yussef, Professor of medicine and candidates McMaster University and senior investigator on the study. Together, they accounted for 30% to overall heart attack risk. But people respond differently to high-pressure work situations, whether it produces hard problems seems to depend on whether you have a sensitive control over life or live at the mercy of circumstances and superiors. That was experiences of John Connell, a rock food Illinois laboratory manager, who suffered his first heart attack in 1996 at the age of 56. In the 2 years before, his mother and 2 of his children had suffered serious illnesses, and his job had been changed in a re-organization. "My life seemed completely out of control," he says, "I had no idea where I would end up." He ended up in hospital due to a block in his artery. 2 months later, he had a triple by-pass surgery. The second heart attack when he was 58, left his doctor shaking his head. "There's nothing more we can do for you," doctors told him.
Question 23 What does the passage mainly discuss?
Question 24 What do we learn about JC's family?
Question 25 What did JC's doctors tell him when he had a second heart attack? Section C
When most people think of the word “education,” they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers are supposed to stuff “education”. But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago , is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person ,but ratherwww.shanpow.com_2015年6月六级真题听力。
eliciting knowledge from him. It is the drawing out of what is in the mind. “The most
important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside him”. So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are futile and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should “go into “ the
student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. A college student who once said to me , after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don’t have a chance to learn anything,” was briefly expressing his
dissatisfaction with the sausage-casing view of education.
