英语二级六套题答案

Keys to Model Test (6)

Band Two

Part I. Writing

Actions Speak Louder than Words

There is a famous saying, “Actions speak louder than words”, which means you should take actions rather than just talk it to others. If you want to be successful, you should put your belief or theory to practice and prove that it is right and valuable.

A case in point is the dream of a child. All people have an ideal since childhood, but many of them never realize it because they never carry it out. On the contrary, those who make repeated efforts to implement it are most likely to turn the childhood dream into reality.

When it comes to education, it is also the case. Only by speaking honestly and behaving appropriately themselves can teachers and parents hope students to regard them as models and learn from them.

From what has been discussed above, we should understand the meaning of “Actions speak louder than words” more clearly. On the one hand, you can talk to others about your plans, beliefs and feelings. On the other hand, no plans or beliefs are significant until you put them to practice. The best way is to keep silent and let your actions speak for themselves.

Section B

Key: 26-30 BCCCB 31-35 ACBAB Passage One

The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.

4

The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power in the family. Studies show that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life.

But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandparents, and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone.

Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time job, and they have not much free time.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What is the main family structure in the past?

答案为B。文章一开始就提到，过去的家庭是一种extended family，即grandparents, parents and children lived together.

27. What disadvantage does the nuclear family offer women?

答案为C。家庭结构的变化给家庭主妇带来优点的同时，也带来了一些缺点。即家里不再像以前那样有那么多人帮她们做家务和照料孩子了。 28. Which of the following is TRUE?

答案为C。家庭的变化有两个方面：从结构方面，和从家庭主妇的作用方面。家庭主妇在享有一定的自由和权利的同时，她们现在是既工作又做家务。家庭结构的变化给家庭主妇带来优点的同时，也带来了一些缺点。 29. What is not provided for married women in nuclear families?

答案为C。家庭主妇的地位有所提高，但也走向了社会，所以自由的时间不是很多。

Passage Two

On the fourth Thursday of November, every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our blessings.

Legend has it that the first English settlers in Massachusetts ( A state in the Northeast of the United States ) started the custom. According to the story, the Pilgrims—as they were called—gave thanks for having survived the terrible winter of 1621 and for having harvested their first summer crop. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a large feast to share in the bounties of the land.
