Do Not Put Everything on a Single Venture
As an English saying goes, “Do not put all your eggs in one basket. ” What it reveals is that it is unwise to be totally dependent on one resource.
This proverb is applicable in our daily life. To begin with, having a plan B can reduce the risk of unexpected and disastrous results especially when it comes to important events. For example, if you want the admission to college, you should fill in application forms of several colleges apart from the one you desire. In this way, there is a big chance for you to be admitted. What is more, paying attention to all the aspects at the same time contributes to a more balanced life. If a student only focuses on sports or other extracurricular activities and neglects his school study, he is more likely to lag behind in terms of academic performance.
Therefore, it is unadvisable to put everything on a single venture. Having a backup plan, though costly sometimes, could save a lot of headaches and even be a lifesaver.

First, the port area has been completely modernized and relocated. And the airport has also been extended. So the basic facilities are good.
M: Right. So, are we in a position to choose one of these cities?
W: Well，let’s not rush into anything. I think it would be a bad idea to assume we’re going to choose a city. It might be better to think about one of the smaller towns.
M： Smaller places. Yes. So, should we get details on the possible places?
W: Yes. We could do that. But we need, I think, first, to check a few things, for example, tax benefits, grants and anything like that, for locating to a smaller place, not one of the main cities. Then we could make a better decision. M: Yes. I agree. You’ve talked about the improved transport links in Bilbao. What about the links to the smaller towns? If it’s a mountainous or hilly region，it could take an hour or more for a truck to reach a main road. So I think we need to look specifically at the train and road links for smaller towns.

听力原文：
In a study of older people with sisters and brothers, psychologist Debra Gold of the Duke Center for the study of aging and human development found that about 20% said they were either hostile or indifferent toward their sisters and brothers. Reasons for this ranged from inheritance disputes to hostility between spouses. But, many of those who had poor relationships felt guilty. Although most people admitted to some lingering rivalry, it was rarely strong enough to end the relationship. Only four out of the 55 people interviewed had completely broken with their sisters and brothers and only one of the four felt comfortable with the break. As sisters and brothers advance into old age, closeness increases and rivalry diminishes，explains Victor Chichiarelli, a psychologist at Purdue University. Most of the elderly people he interviewed said they had supportive and friendly dealings and got along well or very well with their sisters and brothers. Only 4% got along poorly. Gold found that as people age, they often become more involved with and interested in their sisters and brothers. 53% of those she interviewed said that contact with their sisters and brothers increase in late adulthood. With family and career obligations reduced, many said they had more time for each other. Others said that they felt it was time to heal wounds. A man who had recently reconciled with his brother told Gold there’s something that lets older people put aside the bad deeds of the past and focus a little on what we need now, especially when it5s sisters and brothers. 答案详解：

听力原文：
Monarch butterflies, the large orange and black insects, are a common summer sight in the northern United States and Canada. They brighten parks and gardens as they fly among the flowers. What makes monarch butterflies particularly interesting is that they migrate —all the way to California or Mexico and back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this. Every year in the late summer, monarchs begin their migration to the south. Those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana- Mississippi region. Then they fly across the Gulf of Mexico into Texas .Once in Mexico , they establish themselves in one of about 15 sites in a mountain forest. Each site provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so numerous that they often cover entire trees. When spring comes, they begin their long journey north. The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round trip journey every year. And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine months. So one flying north might lay eggs in Louisiana and then die. The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky; the eggs of the next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan. The last generation of the season about the fourth will make the journey back to Mexico and restart the cycle. Scientists learn about monarch butterflies’ migration by capturing and placing identifying tags on the insects. By recapturing a tagged monarch and noting where it came from, the next scientist can figure out things like butterfly’s age and its routing.

【预测】四个选项均为人们某一类行为的变化，听录音时应注意人们行为变化的原因以确认其与题目所问
People nowadays seem to have the sense that their -time has become more limited, that compared to earlier generations, we spend more and more time working and have less and less free time to engage in leisure pursuits. But this premise turns out to be an illusion. The most comprehensive data from major time use surveys suggest that, if anything, Americans today have more free time than earlier generations. The number of hours we work has not changed much, but we spend less time now on home tasks. So we have a greater amount of time for leisure than in decades past. So why do we feel like time is so scarce? One problem is that our time has become more valuable and as time becomes worth more money, we feel like we have less of it. Workers who bill or get paid by the hour, think lawyers and fast-food workers, report focusing more on pursuing more money than those who get paid at salary and the effect happens fast. In one experiment, people were told to play the role of consultants and bill their time at either nine dollars an hour or ninety dollars an hour. When people billed their time for ninety dollars an hour they reported feeling far more pressed for time. Thinking about our time as money changes our behavior as well. In one study,people who were instructed to think about money before entering a cafe spent less time chatting with the other patrons and more time working. Those who were thinking about their time did the reverse, spending time socializing instead of working.

39、L)。名词辨析题。空格位于介词on和数词two之后，且空格后括号中用来补充说明的内容与时间有关，据此推断空格处应该填人与时间有关的名词。结合句意，为了回答这个重要的问题，受试者们分别在实验开展五天之 后和六周之后这两个____被召洄实验室，故答案为occasions“时刻，时候”。
40、K)。名词辨析题。空格位于不定冠词a和形容词direct之后，而且空格后为介词of引导的从句，据此推断空格处应该填么名词。本句前半部分提到受试者在牙疾诊断片上留下的红色污点，后半部分提到他们护理牙齿的程度。根据常识可知，进行医疗检查就是为了发现存在的疾病或者出现的问题，因此牙疾诊断片上留下的红色 污点能够为医生的诊断提供信息或参考，由此确定答案为indication“迹象，标示”。
41、D)。形容词辨析题。空格前面有并列连词and, and前为形容词比较级greater,因此and后面应该也是形容词比较级;空格前已经给出more,据此推断空格处为形容词原形。下一句提到了关注口腔卫生的一个具体事例—刷牙，故确定答案为concrete“具体的”。
42、J)。动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格前为句子的主语，句子的谓语动词为brushed,据此推断空格处所填词和to high-fear warnings共同充当后置定语，修饰主语the subjects。根据文意，此处的受试者就是指第一段提到的看到多幅可怕图片的受试者。exposed有“接触，体验”的意思，与看到图片意思一致，因此确定为本题的答案。
43、C)。副词辨析题。空格位于动弇短语brushed their teeth之后，且空格前还有比较级的标志词more,据此推断空格处应该填人副词。根据上一句的信息可知，高恐惧诉求的确能够让受试者在口腔卫生方面产生更大的、更具 体的变化。那么，具体到刷牙上，高恐惧诉求的受试者应该会更谨慎，故确定答案为cautiously“慎重地，谨慎地”。备选词里还有另一个副词carefully，其意思侧重于指一般言行上的谨慎小心；而cautiously常指为了避 免危险或犯错误而对自己说的话或做的事十分小心。本文中高恐惧诉求组的受试者对可怕的图片心有余悸， 为了避免患上同样的疾病，会非常谨慎，因此cautiously更适合作为本题的答案。
44、I)。形容词辨析题。空格位于be given之后，名词guidelines之前，据此推断空格处应该填人形容词。由句思可知，要想成为一种行之有效的说服手段，提供的信息不能让人感到过于恐惧，而且应该给人们提供指导以帮助他们减少产生恐惧的原因，结合备选项，确定答案为eligible“合格的，有资格的”。
45、E)。名词辨析题。空格位于定冠词the之后，of引导的介词短语之前，据此推断空格处应该填入名词。结合上一句，要想成为一种行之有效的说服手段，就必须做到两点，否则人们就可能会否认这些信息或否认信息传播者的_ ，结合备选项，确定答案为credibility“可信度，可靠性”。

【精析】同义转述题。由题干中的Tenants和 more room for storage定位到M)段第五、六句。 该段内容都是在引用Haggerty所说的话，她是 Common Ground这一机构的创始人，她所讲述的也是关于Common Ground目前的情况。定位句提到，当被问到住在Common Ground居住区的住户们最想要什么时，Haggerty的回答是“人们总是希望存储空间能再大一些”，题干中的 want more room for storage 是对定位句中的 want more storage space的同义转述，故答案为M)。 47、Homes Campaign provides first-hand proof that the homeless are not what they were once believed to be.

2014年6月大学英语六级答案与详解(二)
样，定位句指出，“十万安家行动”却给出了第一手的经验，说明事实并非如此。也就是说，我们以往对无家可归的人的看法是错误的。题干中的first-hand proof对应定位句中的first-hand experience,题干中的 not what they were once believed to be 与定位句中的 that is really not the case 意思一致，题干是对定位句的归纳总结，故答案为D)。 48、Common Ground’s residences are well-managed and by and large peaceful. L)。【译文】Common Ground的居住区管理良好，总体来看，十分平静。
【精析】细节归纳题。由题干中的well-managed 定位到L)段首句。定位句中的properties指的是 K)段中提到的 Common Ground’s large residences，与题干的主语对应。定位句提到，无家可归的人入住后，问题并不多，接下来的几句指出，在过去的10年间，住户间发生争执的事件仅有几起。涂鸦和破坏的现象很少。人员流动的数量几乎可以忽略不计。由此可知，那里的生活十分平和安宁。题干是对本段内容的归纳总结，故答案为L)。 49、Housing the homeless is only the first step to solving all their problems.

Section C
Passage One 答案详解：
56、D)。推理判断题【考频: ★★★】。由选项中的“in the cloud”,everyday behavior和hinder定位到第一段。由定位段第一句可知，作者认为，技术具有两面性，能让人变得更聪明，也能让人变得更愚蠢。因此作者主张制订一套行为准则来引导日常行为，确保技术能够不断提高而非妨碍人的思维发展过程。由此可知，作者担心技术可能会阻碍人思维能力的发展。故本题答案为D)。
57、D)。推理判断题【考频: ★★★】。由题干中的the view of educators和advocate digital literacy定位到第二段第一工句。第一句提到，教育界中有一个越来越强大的群体正在支持“数字素养”；第二句用In their view明确引出他们的观点:技能可以击败知识，培养“数字素养”比单纯地学习内容更为重要，现在所有信息都可以通过Google等搜索引擎进行搜索，因此不值得去记忆。D)“使孩子们摆脱记忆事实的负担”与定位句中的“不值得 去记忆”意思相符，因此答案为D)。
58、B)。推理判断题【考频:★★★】。由题干中的evidence from cognitive science定位到第三段。由定位段第一句可知，来自认知科学的证据对“技能可以不依靠事实性知识而独立存在”的看法提出了质疑。最后一句又明确地指出，批判性思维过程与储存在大脑长期记忆中的事实性知识紧密交织在一起。换句话说，批判性思维是建立在事实性知识基础之上的，因此答案为B)。 59、C)。事实细节题【考频:★★★】。由题干中的making evaluations定位到第四段第二句和最后一句。第二句提到，现在的学生，也就是未来的工作人员，需要创新、合作和评估；最后一句指出了进行评估的关键:必须将新信息与已经掌握的知识进行比较。C)“将新信息和已经积累的知识联系起来”与第四段最后一句意思相符，因此答案为C)。
60、D)。主旨大意题【考频: ★☆☆】。文章开篇指出，技术有可能让我们变得更愚蠢;接着介绍了支持“数字素养”的人的观点—技能比知识更重要;在树立这个靶子之后，作者对这种观点进行了反驳，指出技能必须依靠事实性知识而存在，而且批判性思维过程也与事实性知识紧密交织在一起，从而强调了事实性知识的重要性;文章最后指出在数字世界里思维必须掌握基本的事实性知识，还要充分利用大脑的精细记忆。综上可知，作者撰写此文的目的是质疑过分强调“数字素养”的观点，因此答案为D)。

Passage Two
答案详解：
61、B)。事实细节题【考频:★★★】。由题干中的Paragraph 1定位到文章首段。由首段第二句可知，虽然加利福尼亚州和得克萨斯州是美国西部的双生轴心，但是两州却有很大差别。第三、四句具体阐述两州的差别:在20世 纪的大部分时间里，加利福尼亚州一直引领两大轴心的科技和时尚潮流;而得克萨斯州则落在后面。由此不难看击，加利福尼亚州在很多方面都要优于得克萨斯州。故答案为B)。
62、C)。推理判断题【考频: ★★★】。由选项中的debts, budgets和$26 billion定位到第二段。定位段提到，有证据表明，加利福尼亚州正处在恐慌之中，并介绍了产生恐慌的具体原因,包括给债权人打欠条、预算支出和收人的缺口巨大、信用等级遭到下调等，这些都是严重的金融危机的表现。由此可以推断出加利福尼亚州当前面临着严重的金融危机，故答案为C)。
63、A)。事实细节题【考频:★★★】。由题干中的Texas different from California定位到第三段第三句。由定位句可知，得克萨斯州显然实行了一种与加利福尼亚州截然不同的模式—以小政府为基础的模式，由此可见，得克 萨斯州与加利福尼亚州的不同之处在于实行小政府模式，故答案为A)。
64、C)。事实细节题【考频: ★★★】。由题干中的problem和选项中的Hispanic, education和knowledge economy定位到第四段第二、三句。第四段第二句提到，得克萨斯州自身仍然存在很多问题，第三句具体介绍存在的问题:该州在教育方面投人不足;西班牙裔的得克萨斯州人缺乏足够的技能，难以满足知识经济的需求。也就是说，得克萨斯州面临的一大问题是该州的教育难以满足知识经济的需要。故答案为C)。
65、A)。推理判断题【考频:★★★】。由题干中的American politics定位到末段。文章最后一句提到，世界上没有完美的政府模式，并以美国为例进行说明，美国让50个公共政策实验室相互竞争，从而探索出最好的治理模式。 由此可以推断,美国的50个州都有各自不同的治理模式，故答案为A)。
PartⅣ Translation
中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如,土豪（tuhao)和大妈（dama)都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人。也就是说，土豪有钱，但没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但现在特指不久前金价下跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版牛津(Oxford)英语词典。至今已有约120个中文词被加进了牛津英语词典,成了英语语言的一部分。
Chinese hot words, some of which are increasingly popular with foreign media，usually reflect social changes and culture. For instance, tuhao and dama are old words, but they have acquired new meanings.
In the past, the word tuhao referred to village landlords who oppressed peasants and servants, but now it is used to describe people who spend money unwisely or like to show off their wealth. In other words, tuhaos are wealthy but don’t have good taste. The word dama is used to call middle-aged women, but now it especially refers to Chinese women who bought large amounts of gold when the price of gold fell not long ago.
The words tuhao and dama may be included in the next edition of Oxford English Dictionary. Until now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to the dictionary, becoming a part of the English language.

2014年6月大学英语六级答案与详解(二)
难点注释：
1、第一句中，“反映”可以翻译成reflect或者mirror。“有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行”可以处理为非限制性定语从句。
2、第三句中，“欺压”可以翻译为oppressed,或者转译为短语were mean to。“花钱如流水”可译为spend money unwisely 或者 money bums a hole in one’s pocket。“炫耀”用 show off 表达比较正式。
3、第四句中的“也就是说”可用短语In other words或That is to say来表达。句中的“品位”实际上是“鉴赏力，欣赏力” 的意思，可以译成taste。
4、第五句中，“金价下跌”可以翻译为the price of gold fell，或者将fell换成dropped或decreased。 5、第七句中的“已有”表示该句应该用现在完成时。“成了英语语言的一部分”在翻译时可以处理成现在分词短语作状语的形式，使文章句式多样化。
