匹配题：71 15min

阅读理解：142 20min

翻译题：106.5 20min

< br>四六级考试分为六大部分，分别是作文、听力、十五选十、匹配题、阅读理解、翻译题。笔者认为考试时应
该按照一定的答题顺序以及时间分配才能够做到有条不紊的答题，接下来就分享下笔者的时间及答题顺序 安
排：

1) 作文： 30min
2) 听力： 30min
3) 匹配题: 20min
4) 阅读理解: 15min+15min

6) 十五选十: 10min(快速写完，如果时间不够可以放弃)

笔者认为考试时带一块手表是非常有必要 的，因为它能够让你很方便的知道自己的答题顺序以及进度，按照
如上时间安排，一题题的在各自规定的 时间答完。还有就是在平时的练习当中要有意识的按如上时间和答题
步骤安排练习，这样不管你的英语水 平如何，至少能够不紧不慢的把所有的题目答完，能够稳住心态，不至
于手忙脚乱的。
注：答题过程中，遇到难以抉择的选项，思索一会儿难以确定时，不要恋战，可以选择你猜测的选项，并在< br>题号边注上标记。当时间有剩时 ，应该检查匹配题以及阅读理解部分注过标记的部分，快速扫视原文，找 出
答案（你所选的答案，原文一定有对应的句子可以印证它所选的是不是答案，这个靠猜是不靠谱的）


1H 时间固定
40-50min 可调节
二、听力策略
听力：1、视听一致+同义替换+高频词汇（用相近的词或句子替换的一般为答案）
2、首尾呼应（前面听到说什么，结尾又说了一遍，那么赶紧看选项有没这项）
3、转折强调 （语气突然转变，比如but,或者强调某件事很不可思议。。。
4、第二方的回答

5、语意模糊，不精确（很少出现语意很确定的答案，一般正确答案都是拐弯抹角出来的，需要推
测）

Passage One
Questions 16 to 19 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
What does the speaker say characterizes American campuses?
16. A)The
cozy communal life.

B)The cultural diversity.
C)Innovative academic programs.
D)Imperative school buildings. 【答案】A
What does Brown University president Vartan Gregorian say about students' daily life?
17. A)It is very beneficial to their academic progress.
听长对话的时候，只需要盯着每个题
B)It helps them soak up the surrounding culture.
目的四个选项 最后三个词看，然后注
意听，听力是否念出出和最后三个或
者两个词一模一样的，比如16题，
D)It ensures their physical and mental heal. 【答案】C
原文出现cozy communal life,可能你
In what way is the Uni States unrivaled according to the speaker?
听不懂communal,但是至少你应该
18. A)It offers the most challenging academic programs.
能听到什么 cozy…..life 吧，一看A
B)It has the worlds best-known military academics.
选项有这个，赶紧勾选，依此类推，
C)It provides numerous options for students.
最后等选完，听力开始问问题的时
D)It draws faculty from all around the world. 【答案】C
候，就可以把答案搬到答题卡上了，
What does the speaker say about universities in Europe and Japan?
不需要管题目问的是什么，因为即便
19. A)They try to give students opportunities for experiment.
你听懂问什么，也很难知道选哪个，
B)They are responsible merely to their Ministry of education.
对吧？ 与瞎蒙相比，这方法更可
C)They strive to develop every student’s academic potential.
靠
D)They ensure that all students get roughly equal attention. 【答案】B

原文：
Many foreign students are attrac not only to the academic programs at a particular U.S. college but also to the large
r community, which affords the chance to soak up the surrounding culture. Few foreign universities put much emp
C)It is as important as
their learning experience
.
hasis on the
cozy communal life
that characterizes American campuses from clubs and sports teams to stud
ent publications and drama societies. “The campus and the American university have ome identical in people’s min
ds,” says Brown University President Vartan Gregorian. “In America it is assumed that a student’s daily life is
as i
mportant as his learning experience.” 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。


三、十五选十


先扫视每段的第一句话，大致了解文章所要表达的意思，接 下来，快速对15个选项进行词义以及属性识别，

注上标记：

名词n 3个名词正确答案+1个名词干扰答案

动词v、ate 3个动词正确答案+1个动词干扰答案

形容词a 、-able、tive、sive、ous 3个形容词正确答案+2个形容词干扰答案

副词ad 、ly、sion、tion、ity 1个副词正确答案+1个副词干扰答案

1、冠词(a,an,the)+形容词+介词+n 为固定搭配

动 词正确答案+1个动词干扰答案、3个形容词正确答案+2个形容词干扰答案、1个副词正确答案+1个副词干< br>扰答案。我们所要做的是区分出15个选项每个的意思以及属性，先将容易确认为正确答案的先填上，然后 根
据词性一个个的进行排除。举例：15个词一般会有4个名词，其中有一个是干扰项，也就是说你最后 的答案
如果出现超出3个词的词性为名词，一般这里面肯定会有错误，应进行检查。
当然，笔者认为这道题是四六级中难度最高且不容易拿分的一道题，对于基础不好的同学，选择最后做
放 弃，或者一开始就快速蒙题，是比较明智的选择，毕竟每道题只有3.55分的分值，而且能做对4道+就已经很厉害了，然而这才多少分，为何不多花时间解决7.1分道分和14.2分 道 的题目呢？

注：正确答案应满足语法要求和词性要求，句子通顺



四、阅读理解
（56Nothing succeeds in business books like the study of success. The current business-book boom was l
aunched in 1982 by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman with “In Search of Excellence”. It has been kept going ev
er since by a succession of gurus and would-be gurus who promise to distil the essence of excellence into three
(or five or seven) simple rules.
“The Three Rules” is a self-conscious contribution to this type; it even includes a bibliography of “success st
udies”. Messrs Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed work for a consultancy, Deloitte, that is determined to turn itself int
o more of a thought-leader and less a corporate repairman. They employ all the tricks of the success genre. Th
ey insist that their conclusions are “measurable and actionable”-guide to behavior rather than analysis for its o
wn sake.（57
） Success authors usually serve up vivid stories about how exceptional business- people stamped their pers
onalities on a company or rescued it from a life-threatening crisis. （58）
Messrs Raynor and Ahmed are happier chewing the numbers: they provide detailed appendices on “calculating
the elements of advantage” and “detailed analysis”.
3

The authors spent five years studying the behaviour of their 344 “exceptional companies”, only to co
me up at first with nothing. Every hunchled to a blind alley and every hypothesis to a dead end. It was only whe
n they shifted their attention from how companies behave to how they think that they began to make sense of
their voluminous material.
Management is all about making difficult tradeoffs in conditions that are always uncertain and ever- chan
ging.
（59 But exceptional companies approach these trade-offs with two simple rules in mind, sometimes consciou
sly, sometimes unconsciously. First: better before cheaper. Companies are more likely to succeed in the long ru
n if they compete on quality or performance than on price. Second: revenue before cost. Companies have mor
e to gain in the long run from driving up revenue than by driving down costs.
Most success studies suffer from two faults. There is “the halo (光
环) effect”, whereby good performance leads commentators to attribute all manner of virtues to anything an
d everything the company does. These virtues then suddenly become vices when the company fails. Messrs Ra
ynor and Ahmed work hard to avoid these mistakes by studying large bodies of data over several decades. （6
0But they end up embracing a different error: stating the obvious. Most businesspeople will not be surprised t
o learn that it is better to find a profitable niche and focus on boosting your revenues than to compete on price
and cut your way to success. The difficult question is how to find that profitable niche and protect it. There, Th
e Three Rules is less useful.

[A]For at least the last decade, the happiness craze has been building. In the last three months alone, ov
er 1,000 books on happiness were released on Amazon, including Happy Money, Happy-People-Pills For Al
l, and, for those just starting out, Happiness for Beginners.
[B]One of the consistent claims of books like these is that happiness is associated with all sorts of go
od life outcomes, including - most promisingly - good health. Many studies have noted the connection bet
ween a happy mind and a healthy body - the happier you are, the better health outcomes we seem to have.
In a meta-analysis (overview) of 150 studies on this topic, researchers put it like this: “Inductions of well-
being lead to healthy functioning, and inductions of ill-being lead to compromised health.”
[C]But a new study, just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) c
hallenges the rosy picture. Happiness may not be as good for the body as researchers thought. It might eve
n be bad.
[D]Of course, it’s important to first define happiness. A few months ago, I wrote a piece called “Ther
e’s More to Life Than Being Happy” about a psychology study that dug into what happiness really means
to people. It specifically explored the difference between a meaningful life and a happy life. 46
[E]It seems strange that there would be a difference at all. But the researchers, who looked at a large
sample of people over a month-long period, found that happiness is associated with selfish “taking” behavi
or and that having a sense of meaning in life is associated with selfless “giving” behavior.
[F]without meaning characterizes a relatively shallow, self- absorbed or even selfish life, in
which things go well, needs and desire are easily satisfied, and difficult or taxing entanglements are avoide
d,the authors of the study wrote. anything, pure happiness is linked to not helping others in need.” W
hile being happy is about feeling good, meaning is derived from contributing to others or to society in a b
igger way. As Roy Baumeister, one of the researchers, told me, what we do as human beings is to
5

take care of others and contribute to others. This makes life meaningful but it does not necessarily make
us happy.”
[G]The new PNAS study also sheds light on the difference between meaning and happiness, but on th
e biological level. Barbara Fredrickson, a psychological researcher who specializes in positive emotions at t
he University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Steve Cole, a genetics and psychiatric researcher at UCL
A, examined the self-reported levels of happiness and meaning in 80 research subjects.
[H]Happiness was defined, as in the earlier study, by feeling good. The researchers measured happiness
by asking subjects questions like “How often did you feel happy?” “How often did you feel interested in
life?” and “How often did you feel satisfied?” The more strongly people endorsed these measures of “hedo
nic well-being,” or pleasure, the higher they scored on happiness.
[I]Meaning was defined as an orientation to something bigger than the self. They measured meaning b
y asking questions like “How often did you feel that your life has a sense of direction or meaning to it?”,
“How often did you feel that you had something to contribute to society?”, and “How often did you feel
that you belonged to a community social group?” The more people endorsed these measures of “eudaimoni
c well-being” - or, simply put, virtue - the more meaning they felt in life.
[J]After noting the sense of meaning and happiness that each subject had, Fredrickson and Cole, with t
heir research colleagues, looked at the ways certain genes expressed themselves in each of the participants.
Like neuroscientists who use fMRI scanning to determine how regions in the brain respond to different sti
muli, Cole and Fredrickson are interested in how the body, at the genetic level, responds to feelings of hap
piness and meaning.
[K]Cole’s past work has linked various kinds of chronic adversity to a particular gene expression patte
rn. When people feel lonely, are grieving the loss of a loved one, or are struggling to make ends meet, th
eir bodies go into threat mode. This triggers the activation of a stress-related gene pattern that has two feat
6

ures: an increase in the activity of prion flammatory genes and a decrease in the activity of genes involved
in anti-viral responses.
[L]Cole and Fredrickson found that people who are happy but have little to no sense of meaning in th
eir lives - proverbially, simply here for the party - have the same gene expression patterns as people who
are responding to and enduring chronic adversity. That is, the bodies of these happy people are preparing t
hem for bacterial threats by activating the pro-inflammatory response. Chronic inflammation is, of course, as
sociated with major illnesses like heart disease and various cancers.
[M]“Empty positive emotions” - like the kind people experience during manic episodes or artificially in
duced euphoria from alcohol and drugs - ”are about as good for you for as adversity,” says Fredrickson.
[N]It’s important to understand that for many people, a sense of meaning and happiness in life overlap;
many people score jointly high (or jointly low) on the happiness and meaning measures in the study. But
for many others, there is a dissonance - they feel that they are low on happiness and high on meaning or
that their lives are very high in happiness, but low in meaning. This last group, which has the gene expre
ssion pattern associated with adversity, formed a whopping 75 percent of study participants. Only one quart
er of the study participants had what the researchers call “eudaimonic predominance” - that is, their sense
of meaning outpaced their feelings of happiness.
[O]This is too bad given the more beneficial gene expression pattern associated with meaningfulness. P
eople whose levels of happiness and meaning line up, and people who have a strong sense of meaning but
are not necessarily happy, showed a deactivation of the adversity stress response. Their bodies were not pr
eparing them for the bacterial infections that we get when we are alone or in trouble, but for the viral inf
ections we get when surrounded by a lot of other people.
[P]Fredrickson’s past research, described in her two books, Positivity and Love 2.0, has mapped the be
nefits of positive emotions in individuals. She has found that positive emotions broaden a person’s perspecti
7

ve and buffers people against adversity. So it was surprising to her that hedonistic well-being, which is ass
ociated with positive emotions and pleasure, did so badly in this study compared with eudaimonic well-bein
