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)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
作文： 30min
听力： 30min
匹配题: 20min
阅读理解: 15min+15min
翻译题: 20min
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）


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

C)It is as important as
their learning experience
.
原文：
Many foreign students are attrac not only to the academic programs at a particular U.S. college b
ut also to the larger community, which affords the chance to soak up the surrounding culture. Fe
w foreign universities put much emphasis on the
cozy communal life
that characterizes A
merican campuses from clubs and sports teams to student publications and drama societies. “T
he campus and the American university have ome identical in people’s minds,” says Brown Univer
sity President Vartan Gregorian. “In America it is assumed that a student’s daily life is
as impo
rtant 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< br>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
2、一个完整句子+______+名词介词的结构时，逗号后面是伴随状语，应当填动词 ing3、
3、或者ed形式（独立主格结构原则动词ing）
4、形容词：athethe mostmore+ adj +名词
5、副词：主语+谓语+宾语（表达完整）+副词
主语+____+谓语 横线处常填副词


解释：十 五选十的题目，有15个选项，而这15个选项里包含了3个名词正确答案+1个名
词干扰答案、3个动 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 launched in 1982 by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman with “In Search of E
xcellence”. It has been kept going ever since by a succession of gurus and would-be gurus wh

o 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 bibliogr
aphy of “success studies”. Messrs Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed work for a consultancy, Deloit
te, that is determined to turn itself into more of a thought-leader and less a corporate repair
man. They employ all the tricks of the success genre. They insist that their conclusions are “
measurable and actionable”-guide to behavior rather than analysis for its own sake.（57
） Success authors usually serve up vivid stories about how exceptional business-people s
tamped their personalities on a company or rescued it from a life-threatening crisis. （58）
Messrs Raynor and Ahmed are happier chewing the numbers: they provide detailed appendi
ces on “calculating the elements of advantage” and “detailed analysis”.
The authors spent five years studying the behaviour of their 344 “exceptional compa
nies”, only to come up at first with nothing. Every hunchled to a blind alley and every hypot
hesis to a dead end. It was only when they shifted their attention from how companies beha
ve 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 uncer
tain and ever-changing.
（59 But exceptional companies approach these trade-offs with two simple rules in mind, so
metimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. First: better before cheaper. Companies are
more likely to succeed in the long run if they compete on quality or performance than on pri
ce. Second: revenue before cost. Companies have more 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 virt
ues to anything and everything the company does. These virtues then suddenly become vice
s when the company fails. Messrs Raynor and Ahmed work hard to avoid these mistakes by s
tudying large bodies of data over several decades. （60But they end up embracing a differe
nt error: stating the obvious. Most businesspeople will not be surprised to learn that it is bet
ter 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 pr
otect it. There, The Three Rules is less useful.

五、匹配题
[A]For at least the last decade, the happiness craze has been building. In the last three
months alone, over 1,000 books on happiness were released on Amazon, including Happy
Money, Happy-People-Pills For All, and, for those just starting out, Happiness for Beginne
rs.
[B]One of the consistent claims of books like these is that happiness is associated wi
th all sorts of good life outcomes, including - most promisingly - good health. Many stud
ies have noted the connection between a happy mind and a healthy body - the happier yo
u 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 S
ciences (PNAS) challenges the rosy picture. Happiness may not be as good for the body
as researchers thought. It might even be bad.
[D]Of course, it’s important to first define happiness. A few months ago, I wrote a p
iece called “There’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 betwee
n a meaningful life and a happy life. 46
[E]It seems strange that there would be a difference at all. But the researchers, who l
ooked at a large sample of people over a month-long period, found that happiness is asso
ciated with selfish “taking” behavior and that having a sense of meaning in life is associa
ted with selfless “giving” behavior.
[F]without meaning characterizes a relatively shallow, self-absorbed or eve
n selfish life, in which things go well, needs and desire are easily satisfied, and difficult
or taxing entanglements are avoided,the authors of the study wrote. anything, pure h
appiness is linked to not helping others in need.” While being happy is about feeling goo
d, meaning is derived from contributing to others or to society in a bigger way. As Roy
Baumeister, one of the researchers, told me, what we do as human beings is to ta
ke care of others and contribute to others. This makes life meaningful but it does not nec
essarily make us happy.”
[G]The new PNAS study also sheds light on the difference between meaning and hap
piness, but on the biological level. Barbara Fredrickson, a psychological researcher who sp
ecializes in positive emotions at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Steve
Cole, a genetics and psychiatric researcher at UCLA, 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 m
easured happiness by asking subjects questions like “How often did you feel happy?” “Ho
w often did you feel interested in life?” and “How often did you feel satisfied?” The mor

e strongly people endorsed these measures of “hedonic well- being,” or pleasure, the higher
they scored on happiness.
[I]Meaning was defined as an orientation to something bigger than the self. They me
asured meaning by asking questions like “How often did you feel that your life has a sen
se of direction or meaning to it?”, “How often did you feel that you had something to co
ntribute to society?”, and “How often did you feel that you belonged to a community soc
ial group?” The more people endorsed these measures of “eudaimonic well-being” - or, si
mply 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 their research colleagues, looked at the ways certain genes expressed the
mselves in each of the participants. Like neuroscientists who use fMRI scanning to determ
ine how regions in the brain respond to different stimuli, Cole and Fredrickson are interes
ted in how the body, at the genetic level, responds to feelings of happiness and meaning.
[K]Cole’s past work has linked various kinds of chronic adversity to a particular gene
expression pattern. When people feel lonely, are grieving the loss of a loved one, or are
struggling to make ends meet, their bodies go into threat mode. This triggers the activati
on of a stress-related gene pattern that has two features: an increase in the activity of pri
on flammatory genes and a decrease in the activity of genes involved in anti-viral respons
es.
[L]Cole and Fredrickson found that people who are happy but have little to no sense
of meaning in their 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 them for bacterial threats by activating

the pro-inflammatory response. Chronic inflammation is, of course, associated with major i
llnesses like heart disease and various cancers.
[M]“Empty positive emotions” - like the kind people experience during manic episode
s or artificially induced 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 happin
ess 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 tha
t they are low on happiness and high on meaning or that their lives are very high in hap
piness, but low in meaning. This last group, which has the gene expression pattern associ
ated with adversity, formed a whopping 75 percent of study participants. Only one quarter
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. People whose levels of happiness and meaning line up, and people who h
ave a strong sense of meaning but are not necessarily happy, showed a deactivation of th
e adversity stress response. Their bodies were not preparing them for the bacterial infectio
ns that we get when we are alone or in trouble, but for the viral infections 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, h
as mapped the benefits of positive emotions in individuals. She has found that positive e
motions broaden a person’s perspective and buffers people against adversity. So it was sur

prising to her that hedonistic well-being, which is associated with positive emotions and pl
easure, did so badly in this study compared with eudaimonic well- being.
[Q]“It’s not the amount of hedonic happiness that’s a problem,” Fredrickson tells me,
“It’s that it’s not matched by eudaimonic well-being. It’s great when both are in step. B
ut if you have more hedonic well-being than would be expected, that’s when this [gene]
pattern that’s akin to adversity emerged.”
[R]The terms hedonism and eudemonism bring to mind the great philosophical debate,
which has shaped Western civilization for over 2,000 years, about the nature of the good
life. Does happiness lie in feeling good, as hedonists think, or in doing and being good,
as Aristotle and his intellectual descendants, the virtue ethicists, think? From the evidence
of this study, it seems that feeling good is not enough. People need meaning to thrive. I
n the words of Carl Jung, “The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than
the greatest of things without it.” Jung’s wisdom certainly seems to apply to our bodies,
if not also to our hearts and our minds.
