2014年6月大學英語六級考試真題答案詳解第三套

PartIWriting(30minutes)作文范文：把全部雞蛋放到一個籃子里是不明智的

riskswithaplanB.

【點評】

題解："把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子里是不明智的。"本題難度中上，討論風險與機會的關系，以及減少風險的方法，較抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段簡單闡述話題含義。主體部分重點論述"把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子里"可能帶來的風險。由于話題較抽象，

此處可用具體的事例論述，

證明在有一定風險的情況下，

人們不應該將所有的希望都集中在同一個解決方案中，

而是應該有備用方案，

以減少風險。結論部分重述主題。

Questions16to19arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

文章解析：本文是一篇地理科學類文章，有點難度，關鍵是對一些專有名詞的把握。文章開始先指出全球變暖帶來最主要的威

脅是極地冰蓋的融化，并給出了相應的事實和數據加以證明。接著更多例子表明南極洲的冰蓋在過去的

年間至少坍塌過一次。相關高等學府的學者和科學家也相繼用實驗證明南極洲西部曾是一片汪洋。最后引用

HermanEngleheart的話，再次提醒我們，西南極洲大冰原很可能再次融化消失。

其實按常理來說，如果聽力文章比較有難度的話，題目的難度相對應會降低。所以大家在遇到此類題型時不必驚慌。提取關鍵

信息、邊聽邊記筆記，運用好背景知識等就能把題目做出來。平時也要注意擴大閱讀范圍，增長見識。關于環境保護和全球變暖之

類的文章屢見不鮮，要求考生在這方面要引起足夠的重視。
