2019年12月大学英语六级考试真题及答案（第一套）
Part Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the
importance of having a sense of community responsibility. You should write at least
150 words but no more than 200 words.
【参考范文】
There is no doubt that community responsibility plays an indispensable role
in personal development, for instance, in the workplace.
There are several factors accounting for this perspective and the following are
the most typical ones. First and foremost, a strong sense of community responsibility
is helpful to develop harmonious interpersonal relationships. As we all know, we
are very likely to spend more time with our colleagues than our families after
entering the workplace. Therefore, the sound working atmosphere and interpersonal
relationships among employees are crucial to both physical and mental pleasure. In
addition, community responsibility can improve efficiency. In the fast-paced
modern society, time is money and efficiency holds the key to saving time. As the
saying goes, two heads are better than one. So great importance should be attached
to the cultivation of the sense of community responsibility and we will eventually
benefit from it.
From what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that the sense
of community responsibility is a kind of good personal quality, which deserves our
attention.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required
to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following
the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each
choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter
for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not
use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone,
then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even
without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as
bizarre as it sounds, under certain 26 , people regularly ascribe human traits to
everyday objects.
Sometimes we see things as human because we are 27 . In one experiment, people
who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute 28 to
various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can 29 loneliness. When college
students were reminded of a time they had been 30 in a social setting, they
compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given
tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities.
According to the researchers, the participants' phones 31 substituted for real
friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study
found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more
their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report
that it had its own “beliefs and 32 .”
So how do people assign traits to an object In part, we rely on looks. On humans,
wide faces are 33 with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and
watches with wide faces as more dominant- looking than narrow-faced ones, and
preferred them—especially in 34 situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany
found that cars with
gills
(护栅) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The
purchasers saw this 35 as increasing a car's friendliness.
A) alleviate I) desires
B) apparently J) excluded
C) arrogant K) feature
D) associated L) lonely
E) circumstances M) separate
F) competitive N) spectacularly
G) conceded O) warrant
H) consciousness

Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements
attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.
Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a
paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the
questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
[A] Though he didn’t come from a farming family, from a young age Tim Joseph
was fascinated by the idea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman
Grass Farmer and Graze, he got hooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea
that all energy and wealth comes from the sun really intrigued him He thought the
shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, the higher the profit to
the farmer.
[B] Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2009, he and his wife Laura
launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in northern
New York. He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed
products currently exceeds supply. Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25-30% annual growth
rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir (发酵乳饮品) on the other hand, have in
the last year increased by over 38%. This is in comparison with a drop of just under
1% in the total yogurt and kefir market according to natural and organic market
research company SPINS. Joseph’s top priority became getting his hands on enough
grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasn’t going
to suffice
[C] His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma
Lea farm in New York. The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition
to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in
the area convent from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to
enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped 125 small dairy
farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during
the last two years.
[D] All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it
began with no end in sight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain
mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually
not that hard, when you look at the economics. Grass-fed milk can fetch up to times
the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy
farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening
their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management
practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed. These
practices include grazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland’s natural
seed bunk, and fertilized by the cows’ own fertilizer
[E] Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal
welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass- fed animals live longer out of
confinement. Grazing herds stimulate microbial (微生物的) activity in the soil,
helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been
shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.
[F] In the grass fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly
fluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market. The unpredictability
of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand
can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Going grass-fed is a safe refuge,
a way for family- scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to the point
where financially, what they’re doing is not working. That’s when they call Maple
