2013年6月六级作文范文一
It is not exaggerating to
say that habits determine how much a person can
achieve. This is due to the magical
power that
habits have. It can redouble the effort of our
daily behavior.
Take this for example: if you
recite one word every day, you will add 365 words
to your vocabulary by one year,
and 700 words
by two years, and 1400 words before graduation
which is by far beyond the curricular of CET-6.
While if you spend two hours on playing
computer games—which is far less than how much
time is spent in
reality for college students—
you will probably get addicted to it and fail your
study. This
phenomenon can be easily found in
the college that it is high time for us to be
aware of the importance of habits.
We should
cultivate good habits and get rid of the bad
habits such as staying up late, being addicted to
games,
consuming extravagantly, etc as soon as
possible.
Rome was not built in one day. We
can accumulate a great fortune by the tiny efforts
we made every day. From
now on say good bye to
the bad habits and stick to the good ones, we will
enjoy a profitable return in the future.

Good habit result…
Good
habits are a valuable thing and a bridge reaching
desirable results. Evidently, good habits include
teamwork,
optimistic attitude, confidence and
so on. It is well known that teamwork always
leaves us less mean-spirited and
more
inclusive. Again, optimistic attitude and
confidence can encourage us to never give up and
find silver
linings in desperate situations.
Why should we actively cultivate good habits?
For one thing, good habits can jump our trains of
thought onto
correct tracks, in turn, we can
bypass the wrong path. For another thing,
persisting what we are
good at and doing even
more of it creates excellence. This is where
developing good habits comes in.
As a result,
we should take some effective steps to cultivate
our good habits. For instance, we can frequently
inform young people that opportunities for
errors abound, so we must develop good habits to
cope with them. To
sum up, we cannot deny it
that good habits do carry a positive connotation.

Part ⅣReading Comprehension
(Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section
A
Direction: In this section, there is a
short passage with 5 questions or incomplete
stamens. Read the passage
carefully. Then
answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words. Please write your
answer on Answer Sheet 2.
Question 47
to 51 are based on the following passage
Highly proficient musicianship is hard won.
Although it’s often assumed musical ability us
inherited, there’s
abundant evidence that this
isn’t the case. While it seems that at birth
virtually everyone has perfect pitch, the
reasons that one child is better than another
are motivation and practice.
Highly
musical children were sung to more as infants and
more encouraged to join in song games as kids than
less musical ones, long before any musical
ability could have been evident. Studies of
classical musicians prove
that the best ones
practiced considerably more from childhood onwards
than ordinary orchestral players, and this
is
because their parents were at them to put in the
hours from a very young age.
The same was
true of children selected for entry to specialist
music schools, compared with those who were
rejected. The chosen children had parents who
had very actively supervised music lessons and
daily practice from
young ages, giving up
substantial periods of leisure time to take the
children to lessons and concerts.
The
singer Michael Jackson’s story, although unusually
brutal and extreme, is illumination when
considering
musical prodigy(天才). Accounts
suggest that he was subjected to cruel beatings
and emotional torture ,and that
he was
humiliated (羞辱) constantly by his father, What
sets Jackson’s family apart is that his father
used his
reign of terror to train his children
as musicians and dancers.
On top
of his extra ability Michael also had more drive.
This may have been the result of being the closest
of his
brothers and sisters to his mother. “He
seemed different to me from the other children
—special,”Michael’s
mother said of him. She
may not have realized that treating her son as
special may have been part of the reason be
became like that.
All in all, if you
want to bring up a Mozart or Bach, the key factor
is how hard you are prepared to crack the whip.
Thankfully, most of us will probably settle
for a bit of fun on the recorder and some ill-
executed pieces of
music-on the piano from our
children.

47.

has much to do with their ___.
48. In
order to develop the musical ability of their
children, many parents will accompany them during

practice sacrificing a lot of then own
___.
49. Because of their father’s
pressure and strict training, Michael Jackson and
some of his brothers and sisters
eventually
became ___.
50. Michael’s extra drive for
music was partly due to the fact that he was ___
by his mother.
51. To bring up a great
musician like Mozart or Bach, willingness to be
strict with your child is ___.
Section B
Directions:There are 2 passages in this
section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished
statements. For each
of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)
and D). You should decide on the best
choice
and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet
2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 52 to 56 are
based pm the following passage.
In 2011,
many shoppers chose to avoid the frantic crowds
and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of
their
computer. Sales at online retailers
gained by more than 15%, making it the biggest
season ever. But people are
also returning
those purchases at record rates, up 8% from last
year.
What went wrong? Is the lingering
shadow of the global financial crisis making it
harder to accept extravagant
indulgences? Or
that people shop more impulsively—and therefore
make bad decisions—when online? Both
arguments
are plausible. However, there is a third factor: a
question of touch. We can love the look but, in an
online environment, we cannot feel the quality
of a texture, the shape of the fit, the fall of a
fold or, for that matter,
the weight of an
earring. And physically interacting with an object
makes you more committed to your purchase.
When my most recent book Brandwashed was
released, I teamed up with a local bookstore to
conduct an
experiment about the difference
between the online and offline shopping
experience. I carefully instructed a
group of
volunteers to promote my book in two different
ways. The first was a fairly hands-off approach.
Whenever a customer would inquire about my
book, the volunteer would take them over to the
shelf and point to
it. Out of 20 such
requests, six customers proceeded with the
purchase.
The second option also involved
going over to the shelf but, this time, removing
the book and them subtly
holding onto it for
just an extra moment before placing it in the
customer’s hands. Of the 20 people who were
handed the book, 13 ended up buying it. Just
physically passing the book showed a big
difference in sales. Why?
We feel something
similar to a sense of ownership when we hold
things in our hand. That’s why we establish or
reestablish connection by greeting strangers
and friends with a handshake. In this case, having
to then let go of
the book after holding it
might generate a subtle sense of loss, and
motivate us to make the purchase even more.
A recent study also revealed the
power of touch, in this case when it came to
conventional mail. A deeper and
longer-lasting
impression of a message was formed when delivered
in a letter, as opposed to receiving the same
message online. Brain imaging showed that, on
touching the paper, the emotional center of the
brain was
activated, thus forming a stronger
bond. The study also indicated that once touch
becomes part of the process, it
could
translate into a sense of possession.
This sense of ownership is simply not part of
the equation in the online shopping experience.

A) It is more comfortable and
convenient.
B) It saves them a lot of money
and time.

and bargains.
D) It gives them more time to
think about their purchase.
53. Why do
more customers return their purchases bought
online?
A) They regretted indulging in costly
items in the recession.
B) They changed their
mind by the time the goods were delivered.
C)
They had no chance to touch them when shopping
online.
D) They later found the quality of
goods below their expectations.
54. What
is the purpose of author’s experiment?
A) To
test his hypothesis about online shopping.
B) To find out people’s reaction to his recent
book.
C) To find ways to increase the sale of
his new book.
D) To try different approaches
to sales promotion.
55. How might people
feel after letting go of something they held?
A) A sense of disappointment C) A
subtle loss of interest
B) More motivated to
own it. D) Less sensitive to its texture.
56. What does train imaging in a recent
study reveal?
A) Conventional letters contain
subtle messages.
B) A lack of touch is the
chief obstacle to e-commerce.
C) Email lacks
the potential to activate the brain.
D)
Physical touch helps form a sense of possession.
Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61
are based on the following passage.
Apparently everyone knows that global warming
only makes climate more extreme. A hot, dry summer
has
triggered another flood of such claims.
And, while many interests are at work, one of the
players that benefits the
most from this story
are the media: the notion of “extreme” climate
simply makes for more compelling news.
Consider Paul Krugman writing breathlessly in
the New York Times about the “rising incidence of
extreme
events,” He claims that global warming
caused the current drought in America’s Midwest,
and that supposedly
record-high corn prices
could cause a global food crisis.
But the
United Nations climate panel’s latest assessment
tells us precisely the opposite. For “North
America there
is medium confidence that there
has an overall slight tendency toward less
dryness” Moreover, there is no way
that
Krugman could have identified this drought as
being caused by global warming without a time
machine;
Climate models estimate that such
detection will be possible by 2048, at the
earliest.
And, fortunately, this
year’s drought appears unlikely to cause a food
crisis, as global rice and wheat supplies
retain plentiful. Moreover, Krugman overlooks
inflation: Prices have increased six-fold since
1969. so, while com
futures(期货) did set a
record of about S8 per bushel(葡式耳)in late July,
the inflation-adjusted price of corn was
higher throughout most of the 1970s, reaching
516 in1974.
Finally, Krugman conveniently
forgets that concerns about global warming are the
main reason that corn prices
have skyrocketed
since 2005. Nowadays 40 percent of corn grown in
the United States is used to produce
ethanol
（乙醇）,which does absolutely nothing for
the climate, but certainly distorts the price of
corn—at the expense of
many of the world’s
poorest people.
Bill Mickbben similarly
worries in The Guardian about the Midwest drought
and corn prices. He confidently tells
us that
raging wildfires from New Mexico and Colorado to
Siberia are “exactly” what the early stages of
global
warming look like.
In fact,
the latest overview of global wildfire suggests
that fire intensity has declined over the past 70
years and is
now close to its preindustrial
level.
When well-meaning campaigners want
us to pay attention to global warming, they often
end up pitching beyond
the facts. And, while
this may seem justified by a noble goal, such
“policy by people” tactics rarely work, and
often backfire.
Remember how, in the
wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Al Gore claimed
that we were in store for ever more
destructive hurricanes? Since then, hurricane
incidence has dropped off the charts. Exaggerated
claims merely
fuel public distrust and
disengagement.
That is unfortunate,
because global warming is a real problem, and we
do need to address it.

D) They can give

D) There is no way to prove its validity.

extreme weathers.

stages of global warming.

greatly.

disservice to addressing the problem.

aggravate public distrust about science.

Part Ⅴ Cloze
The continuous
presentation of scary stories about global warming
in the popular media makes us unnecessarily
frightened. Even worse, it __62__ our kids.
Al Gore famously __63__ how a sea-level
rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood
Florida, New York,
Holland, and Shanghai,
__64__the United Nations says that such a thing
will not even happen, __65__ that sea
levels
will rise 20 times less than that.
When
__66__ with these exaggerations, some of us say
that they are for a good cause, and surely __67__
is no
harm done if the result is that we focus
even more on tackling climate change.
This __68__ is astonishingly wrong. Such
exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying __69__
about global
warming means that we worry less
about other things, where we could do so much more
good. We focus, __70 __,
on global warming's
impact on malaria (疟疾)-which will put slightly
more people at __71__ in 100 years -
instead
of tackling the half a billion people __72__from
malaria today with prevention and treatment
policies that
are much cheaper and
dramatically more effective than carbon reduction
would be.
__73__ also wears out the
public's willingness to tackle global warming. If
the planet is __74__, people wonder,
why do
anything? A record 54% of American voters now
believe the news media make global warming appear
worse than it really is. A __75__ of people
now believe – incorrectly – that global warming is
not even caused by
humans.
But the
__76__ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the
unnecessary alarm that it causes – particularly
__77__
children. An article in The Washington
Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about
the possibility of mass
animal __78__ from
global warming.
The newspaper also
reported that parents are __79__ 忧
心忡忡) with
dying polar bears. They might be better off
educating them and letting them know that,
contrary
__80__ common belief, the global
polar bear population has doubled and perhaps even
quadrupled (成为四倍)
over the past half- century,
to about 22,000. __81__ diminishing - and
eventually disappearing - summer Arctic
ice,
polar bears will not become extinct.
