以下是對2012年6月大學(xué)英語六級考試的閱讀和完形部分的簡要評析，希望對大家備考英語六級有所參考借鑒。

快速閱讀

選材：
本次六級考試的快速閱讀文章標題為：The Three-year Solution，從標題上看基本沒有太值得關(guān)注的信息，但是此標題確實可以引起讀者的興趣，到底是怎么樣的一個三個解決方案。通過閱讀文章會發(fā)現(xiàn)，本篇文章主要是講一些大學(xué)開始采用三年學(xué)制來替代四年學(xué)制，全文從各方面分析了三年學(xué)制的利弊。本文是選自美國的新聞周刊（Newsweek）2008年5月的一篇文章，從選材方面來說，這依然沿用了六級的熱門選材范圍中的高等教育類，中規(guī)中矩。

命題：
此次快速閱讀的十道考題都非常合乎以往考試中的快速閱讀的命題特點，大部分題目都可以在原文中比較清晰地定位，并且可以利用原文信息，進行少量的同義替換對應(yīng)到選項，在句子填空方面的三道題也不需要對原文信息進行改寫，直接抄寫原文信息即可。值得一提的是第2，4，9題。
2. By quoting Stephen Trachtenberg the author wants to say that__________.
A. American universities are resistant to change
B. the summer vacation contributes to student growth
C. college facilities could be put to more effective use
D. the costs of running a university are soaring

根據(jù)題干信息可以定位到原文第二段的這句：
Former George Washington University president Stephen J. Trachtenberg estimates that a typical college uses its facilities for academic purposes a little more than half the calendar year.
而要解決本題，需要對此句作一點理解，此句的重點是講大學(xué)的Facilities（設(shè)備，器材）只能為學(xué)術(shù)目的使用半年多一點的時間，那也就是說這些設(shè)備還有更多的使用的可能。于是此題應(yīng)該將C. college facilities could be put to more effective use作為最佳答案。此題的難點在于定位完成后，需要對本句的信息做一個轉(zhuǎn)換，也就是把原文中講到時間的內(nèi)容轉(zhuǎn)化成更有效使用。在快速閱讀中，這對考生是個挑戰(zhàn)。

4. What is said about the new three-year degree program at Hartwick?
A. Its students have to earn more credits each year.
B. Non-credit courses are eliminated altogether.
C. Its faculty members teach more hours a week.
D. Some summer courses are offered free of charge.

根據(jù)題干信息可以定位到原文第八段第一句：
For all of these reasons, some colleges like Hartwick are rethinking the old way of doing things and questioning decades-old assumptions about what a college degree means.

但是很遺憾，在這句中，我們無法找到四個選項與原文相對應(yīng)的信息。這也是正是本題的難點所在，于是只能選擇擴大定位的范圍，繼續(xù)尋找原文中的支持信息，最終將在下一段，也就是全文第九段的第二句：By eliminating that extra year, three-year degree students save 25 percent in costs. Instead of taking 30 credits a year, these students take 40. 找到答案。也就是說Hartwick的學(xué)生要拿更多的學(xué)分。對應(yīng)到選項：A. Its students have to earn more credits each year.

本題是整個快速閱讀中最難的一題，難點1：定位范圍太大，整個用到八、九兩段; 2信息轉(zhuǎn)換，原文給的是數(shù)字信息，30和40，選項是文字描述。但好的一面是這也本篇唯一的難題，其它題目均相對較容易。另外本題也給未來的考生一點啟示：個別的六級快速閱讀題也有難題，考場上要大處著眼，碰到這樣的題可以先選擇跳過，待其它題目解決后再回頭解決難題。

9. Universities are increasingly aware that they must adapt to a rapidly changing world in order to __________.
根據(jù)題干信息，本題定位到原文的第十六段，即倒數(shù)第二段：Whether they experiment with three-year degrees, offer year-round classes, challenge the tenure system—or all of the above—universities are slowly realizing that to stay competitive and relevant they must adapt to a rapidly changing world.

題目問的是目的，而原文句中也用了可以表示目的的不定式，故答案抄寫自原文stay competitive and relevant即可，難度較小。需要注意的是在定位的時候，要看明白increasingly aware，和原文的slowly realizing也是一種替換。

簡答題：
本次簡答題文章是環(huán)保類題材，主題很明確：減少二氧化碳的排放，即減排，算是一個老生常談的話題，所以對于考生來說，看懂是很輕松的，但作答起來也需要大家嚴重注意格式，因為大家一定可以把意思表達清楚，但細節(jié)的語法要求可能會成為廣大考生失分的主要原因。以第47和48題為例：

47. What are suggested as renewable and less-polluting energy alternatives?

本題定位到第一段的第二句：But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.

從這里我們可以看出答案應(yīng)該是風(fēng)能和太陽能。但是作答時要注意答案應(yīng)該是以句子的形式出現(xiàn)，即首字母要大寫。所以建議答案為：Clean technologies like wind and solar。

48. What does the author say is a forward thinking strategy concerning the reduction of CO2 emissions?

本題定位到第三段的第三句：That forward thinking strategy is gaining support.但是這句開頭的That又提示出了答案應(yīng)該來自于它之前的文字，最終可以找到第三段的第一句：That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2,which the IPCC says could prove provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions thought needed to reduce global warming.那么本題應(yīng)該作答：Capturing and storing CO2。還是和上題一樣，注意，首字母要大寫。

深度閱讀：

第一篇文章講設(shè)定目標也有消極作用，第二篇文章講中國和印度的發(fā)展能歐美的啟示。從文章選材來說，完全符合六級文章選材以往的風(fēng)格，一篇社科類，一篇政經(jīng)類，六級選材就是這樣，要么讓大家都看得懂，要么就是都看不懂。

從命題角度看，本次深度閱讀整體難度與往年也基本相當(dāng)，題目定位比較明顯，大部分題干中都包含專有名詞，這無形中降低了定位的難度，因為專有名詞在文章中極為顯眼。而選項對應(yīng)程度也整體較高，如：

52. What message does the author try to convey about goal-setting?
A. Its negative effects have long been neglected.
B. The goals increase people’s work efficiency.
C. Its role has been largely underestimated.
D. The goals most people set are unrealistic

對應(yīng)原文第二段：
What’s far less understood by scientists, however, are the potentially harmful effects of goal-setting.?直接對應(yīng)到選項：A. Its negative effects have long been neglected.

又如：
59. What stopped the American economy from collapsing in 2007?
A. Self-regulatory repair mechanisms of the free market.
B. Cooperation between the government and businesses.
C. Abandonment of big government by the public.
D. Effective measures adopted by the government.

對應(yīng)原文第三段第三句：Of course, when the markets came crashing down in 2007, it was decisive government intervention that saved the day.

直接對應(yīng)選項：D. Effective measures adopted by the government.

以上兩題只要考生可以準確定位，一定可以輕松找到答案。

當(dāng)然也有相對較難理解的題目，如：
54. How did Sears’ goal-setting affect its employees?
A. They were obliged to work more hours to increase their sales.
B. They competed with one another to attract more customers.
C. They resorted to unethical practice to meet their sales quota.
D. They improved their customer service on a company wide basis.

根據(jù)題干可以定位到原文第七段第二句：Such was the case, Schweitzer says, in the early 1990s when Sears imposed a sales quota on its auto repair staff.

而定位句沒有講到對雇員的影響，故擴大范圍看它的下一句：It prompted employees to overcharge for work and to complete unnecessary repairs on a companywide basis.本句中給出的說法是：它促使雇員們過量工作，并在公司范圍內(nèi)完成了不必要的修復(fù)工作。原文用詞是unnecessary（不必要的），于是選項中最為恰當(dāng)?shù)氖荂. They resorted to unethical practice to meet their sales quota。這個替換對于小部分考生來說是比較難的，因為不認識unethical（不道德的），其實這個詞在文章前面給出了中文提示。所以提醒未來的考生朋友，閱讀題文章中給出的中文提示，一定要必須要高度重視，因為這個一定是有用的，不然出題人就不用費盡提示了。

完形填空

本次完形填空選材比較新穎，聽音樂對大腦的好處。選自《科學(xué)美國人》雜志，文章的原名是：Hearing the Music, Honing the Mind。聽音樂，磨思緒。算是出題人給考生的一點輕松，在最后解決完形的同時，也能增長見識。

在命題方面，本次完形分別考查了7道動詞題，5道名詞題，2道形容詞題，1道副詞題，2道介詞題和3道連詞題。這樣的配比非常符合往年的出題比例。介詞和連詞共5題是每年四六級完形的標準設(shè)計，算是相對容易的題目。動詞題一定要占到絕對多數(shù)，因為動詞的考查更全面，更能反映出考生的實際英語運用能力。

本次命題所選擇考查的單詞難度較低，如62題：notice, notion, note, notification; 67題：subtle, elementary, sensitive, original; 69題：effort, impulse, object, attention; 74題：subjects, models, causes, lessons; 77題：trouble, transform, distract, disclose; 79題：proceed, process, prefer, predict等等?；径际菤v年四六級的?？荚~匯，希望各位未來的考生能高度重視歷年真題，把考過的詞做到萬無一失，那實際考試的分數(shù)肯定是高分。

其實在實際考試，完形部分最大的難度不是題目會與不會的問題，往往是時間問題，很多考生容易出現(xiàn)時間不夠的情況，建議大家在平時的備考過程中，每次做題都限時做，深度閱讀就限定在12分鐘左右，而完形就限定在8到10分鐘。每次限定好時間，習(xí)慣這樣的時間安排，在真正考試時肯定不會慌亂，而且每道題都會有充分的時間思考解題，成績必然也會穩(wěn)步上升。

最后的幾天六級備考，希望大家好好抓緊時間，拒絕裸考。
