The ranking standards also vary. These lists have great influence on students. They are even being the only scale to evaluate the colleges and universities. People hold different views toward this phenomenon. Some believe that these lists help the students a lot, especially for those who will choose their university. While some other protest vigorously. In their points, the list is really ridiculous and harmful. In my view, the university ranking may have its own reference values, but its disadvantages overweigh its values. For those universitystudentstobe, they are supposed to choose the school according to his or her own situation, but not the socalled Ranking List. What‘s more, how about the university students? How do they feel about themselves when they see the ranking? The list may bee some intangible shackles for them if their own school ranks poorly. In a nutshell, there is no easy method to rank these universities, but the Ranking, only helps students ignore the essentials, namely, their niynine percent perspiration. 此次六級作文的自由度很大，看似給出了提綱，實際上具體 的觀點全靠個人發(fā)揮。第一段需要點明大學排名這個現(xiàn)象，第二段需要鋪陳不同人的觀點，第三段要陳述自己的觀點。 大學排名這個題目，實際上涉及到了對了大學的理解，對于大學排名標準的理解，以及對于大學排名的目的的理解。而這件事更加離不開中國具體的國情，新中國 50 年代人至今受教育的情況， 90 后擇校的情況，目前大學的情況，考生發(fā)揮的空間可以縱橫數(shù)十年的教育史，并且可以深入探討教育的本質。 當然，對于大多數(shù)考生來說，湊滿 150 個字萬歲！那么，模板又可以派上用場了。 模板一 people have different views on—— 2. Some people perfer,—— 3. Others tend to, —— to me, I agree with / to —— (1)開門見山直入主體，表明對某事人們的不同看法。 (2)表明一部分人的看法。 (3)另一部分的看法。 (4)作者的看法 我們這里放出來的這篇文章，語言流暢，觀點清晰，多處表述有閃光點。 Reading Comprehension（ Skimming and Scanning） 1． A not be sustained in the long term 解析：關鍵字 1994 對應第一段第三行，題干中 unsustainable 即選項 A 中 sustained 的反義表達方式。選擇A。 2． B Intergenerational conflicts will intensify. 解析：從書名定位到原文第二段， heading for the rock, the cleaner, 都暗示了兩代人之間的問題，最后的 warfare 則一目了然地指出了該矛盾。 3． D politicians are afraid of losing votes in the next election 解析：首先需要理解題目意圖，即為何養(yǎng)老機制改革遲遲不能進行，然后定位到文章第四段，其實只要從段落中 politician 這一關鍵字就能選定 D 選項。 4． A allow people to work longer 解析：從題干中 the most effective method 找到第五段第三句原話，直接選擇 A 選項。 5． D younger workers are readily available 解析：題目中 employer 為關鍵字，找到第六段，該段看似沒有 直接提到為什么雇主不愿意雇傭 old workers，但從其不斷分析新涌現(xiàn)出來的勞動力替代者，可以總結的出 D 選項，即年輕勞動力的供給已足以滿足企業(yè)需求。 6． B large numbers of immigrants from overseas 解析：這道題間接考察了學生變換思維的能力， Japan 在文中一時難以找到，但其所代表的發(fā)達國家群體developed countries 卻出現(xiàn)在了第七段，而該段恰恰揭示了發(fā)達國家靠移民勞動力尋求養(yǎng)老機制危機一時的緩解的舉措。 7． B They find it hard to balance career and family. 解析： promise 關鍵字找到第九段，關鍵字出現(xiàn)的句子前一句就是 B 選項。 8． be innovative and take risks than younger ones 解析：題目中 old societies 關鍵字對應到倒數(shù)第六段第三行，題目中的 less inclined 正好與原文中的 more strongly disinclined 形成對照，所以答案只需摘錄之后的原文即可，即 take risks than younger ones. 9． mostly have families 解析：題目中關鍵字 intergenerational warfare 對應到原文倒數(shù)第五段。第二句直接對第一句做出了解釋，摘錄即可。 1
