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 questions by marking the corresponding letter on answer sheet 2.

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 better off than the average us citizen, but contributes about half as much to climate change. but could norway keep its standard of living and yet cut its emissions to moroccan or even ethiopian levels? that question, repeated across a dozen environmental issues and across our diverse planet, is what will ultimately determine whether the human race is living beyond its ecological means as it pursues economic revival.

【篇三：2016年12月英语六级真题答案】

directions: directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.you are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

【参考范文】

it is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. in fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.

we should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. what’s more, we ought to attach

importance to the role

played by innovation in economic advancement. put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. to sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.in order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. for example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and

encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. though there is a long way ahead to go, i am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.

【参考译文】

众所周知创新意味着有创造力，独一无二和不同。事实上，今天我们已经很难想想一个没有创新的21世纪。

我们应该重视创新首先是因为创新精神可以让一个人完善自身，这样他才能具备见他人所未见的能力，未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步，才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外，我们也应该重视创新在经济发展方面的作用。在这个多变的时代，创新对于经济增长就像水对于鱼一样重要。换言之，如果我们以任何可能的形式无视创新的重要性，我们将遭受非常巨大的损失。

为了鼓励创新，应该采取一些且行之有效的措施。例如，大众传媒应该大力宣传创新精神

的重要性，并且鼓励公众养成创新的意识。此外，对于那些想法设法进行创新的人要给予丰厚的奖励。虽然还有很长的路要走，但是我坚信大家共同付出的努力会得到回报。 part ii listening comprehension (30 minutes)

section a conversation

conversation 1气候变化和全球经济发展

w: professor henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do, where you work and your main area of research?

m: well the center for climate research where i work links the science of climate change to issues around economics and policy.

some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all of the associated risks.

w: and how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening that its really something we need to be worried about.

m: well most of the science of climate change particularly that to do with global warming is simply fact.

but other aspects of the science are less certain or at least more disputed.

and so were really talking about risk what the economics tells us is that its

probably cheaper to avoid climate change to avoid the risk than it has to deal with the likely consequences.

w: so what are we doing? what can we do about it?

m: well i would argue that we need to develop the science specifically to understand the likely impacts of climate change in different contexts.

as i said we need to understand the best ways of avoiding climate change and this will involve a huge transition to low carbon energy systems and the transition is a tremendous priority.

and for this to happen, we may need action on a global scale from a political perspective.

we need to understand the terms on which major countries like china and the usa might sign up to a global agreement because at the moment we dont have that consensus.

w: right.

m: and we also need to plan ahead so that were in a position to deal with the likely levels of climate change which are already inevitable and even more so to for the levels that are likely if we dont get those global agreements.

q1. what does professor h say about his main area of research?

a it tries to predict the possible trends of global climate change.

b it studies the impact of global climate change on people’s lives.

c it links the science of climate change to economic and policy issues.

d it focuses on the efforts countries can make to deal with global warning.

[答案]c

q2. what does professor h say about climate change?

a it will take a long time before a consensus is reached on its impact.

b it would be more costly to deal with its consequences than to avoid it.

c it is the most pressing issue confronting all countries.

d it is bound to cause endless disputes among nations.

[答案]b

q3. what does professor h say is a top priority in combating climate change?

a the transition to low-carbon energy systems.

b the cooperation among world major powers.

c the signing of a global agreement.

d the raising of people’s awareness.

[答案]a

q4. what does professor h advise us to do to better deal with climate change?

a carry out more research on it.

b cut down energy consumption.

c plan well in advance.

d adopt new technology.

[答案]c

conversation 2（成功的要素）

w: i have many business english students. when i teach the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. and its interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.

m: right.

w: luck is important to success. but since youve seen that fantastic video on the ted talks website by richard st. john, he doesnt mention luck at all.

m: well, im a firm believer that people can make their own luck. i mean what people regard as luck, you can actually create, to a degree.

w: sure. i think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.

m: yes. very good point.

w: seizing the opportunities. but was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?

m: yes. actually there was. something very impressive to me as many people think that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be successful. and in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not about having some natural talent. its all about practice, practice, practice.

w: definitely yeah. natural talent helps in some way but at the end of the day you really do need to work hard and get really really good at what you do.

m: sure.

w: i thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so

important and that people who really love what they do. of course youre going to want to work harder and put the time and effort into it. and the funny thing is that if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes automatically.

q5. what are the speakers mainly talking about?

a) when luck plays a role.

b) what determines success.

c) whether practice makes perfect.

d) how important natural talent is.

[答案】[b]

q6. what is the woman’s view of luck?

a) it knocks at your door only once in a while.

b) it is something that no one can possibly create.

c) it comes naturally out of one’s self-confidence.

d) it means being good at seizing opportunities.

[答案】[d]

q7. what is the chief point the ted talks video makes?

luck rarely contributes to a person’s success.

b) one must have natural talent to be successful.

c) one should always be ready to seize opportunities.

d) practice is essential to becoming good at something.

[答案】[d]

q8. what does the woman think is the funny thing in the ted talks video?

a) putting time and effort into fun things is profitable.

b) people who love what they do care little about money.

c) being passionate about work can make one wealthy.

d) people in need of money work hard automatically.

[答案】[c]

section b passage

passage 1（美国恶魔塔的形成原因以及关于它的印第安传说）

devil’s tower, the first national monument in america, could almost be mistaken for the stump of an enormous tree. its sheer rock sides sweep up from a broad base until they cut off abruptly at the flat summit. rising more than 1,000 feet in the middle of the gently rolling plains of wyoming, the massive column of rock, looks as though it was dropped down into this location from a different time and place.

in a sense, it was, devil’s tower is a relic of the past. when the melt rock of the earth’s core forced its way to the surface to form the throat of a volcano, as the centuries passed, the rock cooled and hardened, shrinking and cracking into long columns, born in fire and fury. devil’s tower was then shaped by the slow, gentle work of wind and water. the outer layers of the volcano were worn away until the hard core stood completely exposed.

it is small wonder that an indian legend described devil’s tower as being formed by supernatural powers. the legend says that when seven girls were attacked by bears, they took refuge on top of a small rock, and they appealed to

the rock god for help. the god caused the rock to grow and to lift the girls far above the ground, while it sides were

scored by the claws of the angry bears. even today, says the legend, the girls can be seen above the towering rock. as seven shining stars in the night sky.

what does the devil’s tower look like?

a) the stump of a giant tree.

b) a huge piece of rock.

c) the peak of a mountain.

d) a tall chimney.

[答案】[a]

what cause the volcano’s outer layers to wear away?

a) human activity.

b) wind and water.
