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?

　　A)It is built on the findings of a new study.

　　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!

　　The traditional hospitality of China requires that the banquet contains various dishes that the guests could not finish. The typical menu of Chinese banquet includes a set of cold dishes,which means that we can begin eating now, with the hot food followed, such as meat, chicken, ducks and vegetables. Whole fish is considered essential in most banquets, unless all kinds of seafood have been served. Chinese like to combine the western specialty with traditional Chinese dishes, so it is very common to see a lot of steak on the table. Despite the fact that, traditionally, Chinese don’t like to eat any raw cooking dishes, salads have also been popular. There are at least a kind of soup at the dinner, which can be served either at first or at last. Dessert and fruit are the sign that the dinner is come to the end.

　　2015年6月六级翻译原文(中国城市化)：

　　2011年是中国城市化(urbanization)进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。在未来20年里，预计有3.5亿农村人口将移居城市。如此规模的城市发展对城市交通来说既是挑战，也是机遇。中国政府一直提倡“以人为本”的发展理念，强调人们以公交而不是私家车出行。它还号召建设“资源节约和环境友好型”社会。有了这个明确的目标，中国城市就可以更好地规划其发展，并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。

　　2015年6月六级翻译参考答案(文都教育)：

　　The 2011 is a historic moment in Chinese urbanization process, when the urban population surpassed the rural population for the first time. During the next 20 years, it is estimated that about 350 million rural population will move to cities. Such large-scale of urbanization is both a challenge and an opportunity to the urban traffic. The Chinese government has always been advocating “people-oriented” developing concept, emphasizing that people should travel by buses instead of by private cars. It also calls for the construction of “resource saving and environment friendly” society. With this explicit goal, China can have a better-planned urbanization process, and therefore divert more investment to the development of safe, clean and economical transportation system.
