Doing Shopping Online
With the development of the Internet, shopping is no longer a tiring thing. Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like, and the purchase is done. You don't even have to step out of the room. It seems all easy and quick.
However, people's opinions vary on this trend. Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving. With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient. Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.
In my opinion, the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts. In the meantime, we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist, so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying. In addition, we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.
文章点评：
这是一篇“中等偏上”的学生作文。 本文先对网购热潮进行简介，引出全篇；接着对网络购物的正反两方面进行对比；最后提出自己的看法结束全篇。整体看思路清晰，逻辑严密，行文流畅，用语较为地道。
下面说一下这篇文章的有待提高之处：
1. 文章结构上，能看得出该同学试图采用议论文的“三段式”（提出问题、分析问题、解决问题）。 但是，以“With the development of the Internet”为开首语，有些落入俗套，有硬套模板的嫌疑。稍加注意，应该能写出更好的句子。
2. 微观语言点方面，有些语句稍显啰嗦，比如With plentiful selection options… 简化成With plentiful selections… 更好，意思没有丝毫减损，表达力反而增强许多。

Nowadays, can we find a person who has not experienced online shopping? Definitely not. Online shopping is coming into fashion in most of cities due to the rapid development of internet technology.
Online shopping is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumer, it can save some time for people who don’t have much spare time. Just click the mouse, they can get whatever they want while staying at home. For the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don’t have much circulating funds. They don’t have to rent a house and spend money on employees compared with the traditional trade mode. However, there are still some defects in online shopping. First, face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose the fun of bargain.
It is undeniable that shopping on the internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It’s of great urgency that we need to regulate the relative laws in accordance with the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of being treated.
点评：本次四级作文探讨的是最近的热点话题之一——互联网网 购。目前网购的风靡程度是众所周知，因此，考生对于该话题还是比较熟悉的。但是，比较特殊的是，题干所列出的要求的是考生从一个客观的角度来阐述该话题， 而不是简单陈述自己的意见。所以，考生应当审清楚题，在写作时不仅仅要列出网购的优点，还必须给出相应的缺点。
按照四级作文的要求，考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题；
第 二段考生应当从正反两方面来论述网购，分别铺陈其优缺点；关于优点，网购的优点很多，考生可择其最突出显著的方面来阐述，比如说网购可以节省很多时间；网 购可以节省很多成本开支等；其次，缺点方面考生可以把重心放在诚信方面；为了不至于跟优点相比，缺点方面太轻，考生可以考虑稍微提一下其他缺点，比如说与 传统购物相比，网购少去了很多砍价的乐趣；
第三点要求考生对于第二段列出的缺点给出自己的建议。此处我们可以根据第二段列出的缺点方面给出相应的防范应对措施。
整篇作文话题比较好展开，难度不大，只要考生审好题，列出相应点，相信作文不会是难题。

Online shopping has been a boon to many industries and companies looking to expand their markets. Also, it's convenient for shoppers who are too busy to leave the house. However, in some cases nothing can replace a true face to face shopping experience.
Internet shopping is convenient for the mothers who spend all day doing house chores and for the fathers who work a full-time job. On the other hand, there are limits to shopping online, for example: guessing the correct size of clothing on a computer screen can be very frustrating.
For the busy mother and father, online shopping is a very useful and convenient tool. But, there are instances, like clothes shopping, where nothing beats the real thing.
点评：
作者在第一段描述了网购作为一种时尚给大家的生活带来了便利，然后话锋一转，说网购仍然取代不了面对面的购物交流。
第二段主要还是从正反两方面分析了网购的优势和不足，以此描述大家对网购的不同反应。
第三段作者表明了自己的观点，对网购的便利和不足之处都做了描述。
综合来讲，本篇文章观点明确，结构清晰，语言表达地道，有不少闪光词汇，但是，内容深度上来讲还有些欠缺，另外，最后一部分表达个人观点，和第二段稍有重复。考生需要注意观点的清晰，不宜模棱两可。

Part III Listening Comprehension

Section A
11.
M: I left 20 pages here to copy. Here is the receipt.
W: I'm sorry, sir. But we're a little behind. Could you come back in a few minutes?
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：C. She has not got the man's copies ready.
解析：本题考的是文化场景，出现了copy 等词，还是比较基础的。原文中男生想出示收据来拿复印材料，然后女生说“ we're a little behind. ”（我们动作稍落后）意思就是还没复印好。
12.
W: I hope you're not too put out with me for the delay. I have to stop by friends' home to pick up a book on my way here.
M: Well, that's not a big deal. But you might at least phone if you know you're going to keep someone waiting.
Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?
答案：B. She was late for the appointment.
解析：生活类场景题。注意对"be put out with sb"（对……生气）的理解；文中女生首先对自己的迟到表示歉意并解释原因；男生说不是大问题，但是你至少得打个电话给我。因此，我们知道女生迟到了。
13.
W: Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student union, isn't he?
M: Well, that guy won't be able to win the election unless he gets some majority vote from women students. And I'm not sure about that.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案：C. It won't be easy for Mark to win the election.
解析：对话属于学习类场景，出现了majority , student union,和 candidate等相关词汇。考点在于对话中的肯定与否定类，即前面一个人提出观点，后面一个人采取‘取非’的态度；文中第一人说Mark是学生会主席的不二人选，而第二人则说除非Mark获得了大多数女生的选票，否则是赢不了的，因此还不能确定。
14.
M: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam. I've located your luggage.It was left behind in Paris and won't arrive until later this evening.
W: Oh, I can't believe this. Have it deliver to my hotel then , I guess.
Q: What happened to the woman's luggage?

答案：A. It failed to arrive at its destination in time.
解析：考短对话常考场景，旅游场景，其中hotel , luggage 等单词可帮助学生直接定位；第一个人（估计是工作人员）对旅客道歉说行李被落在巴黎了，要到深夜才能送到。旅客说这让让她难以置信，然后要求就把行李送到宾馆。由此可知，女士的行李还没有到达目的地。
15.
W: I don't think we have enough information for our presentation, but we have to give it tomorrow. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it.
M: Yeah, at this point we 'll have to make do with what we've got.
Q: What does the man suggest they do?
答案：A. Just make use of whatever information is available.
解析：关键词presentation, 为校园场景。考点为第二人建议题，"at this point, we’ll have to do…"明确表示建议，将建议后的内容听出来就可以了。这里“we 'll have to make do with what we've got.”意思是“我们要善加利用手上已有的东西”。
16.
M: I am taking this great course-Psychology of Language, it's really interesting. Since you are a psychology major, you should sign up for it.
W: Actually I tried to do that, but they told me I have to take language studies first.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案：D. The woman isn’t qualified to take the course the man mentioned.
解析：关键词course，为校园场景。16题为典型的第二人but转折后出考题，音频中出现的psychology其实不需要知道意思，前面已经有course来解释了。这和六级一贯的难词前后有对其的解释的原则一致，并且psychology是六级学生应该掌握的词汇。 文中男生向女生推荐语言心理学这门课，女生说她有尝试报名，但是在参加课程前得先进行语言学习，因此推出，女生还没有资格参加该课程。
17.
W: Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate? No wonder they don't get along.
M: Well, maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said. There are two sides to every story you know.
Q: What does the man imply about Larry and his roommate?
答案：A. They are both to blame.
解析：17题为租房与住房类，出现了诸如roommate，get along等词汇。并且第二人用maybe给出建议，作为考点。女生首先提到Larry对室友的说话态度不好；然后男生提到有可能他的室友讲了些什么，Larry才会有如此反应。每件事都是有两面性的。因此双方可能都有责任。
18.
M: We don't have the resources to stop those people from buying us out unless a miracle happens. This may be the end of us.
W: I still have hope we can get help from the bank. After all we don't need that much money.
Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?
答案：A. They are in desperate need of financial assistance.
解析：18题为商务话题，关键词 resources，考题类型为观点态度类，答案出现在第二人woman回答处，出现不绝对模凌两可的词汇给出观点态度，此为本题考点。第一人话中讲到“buy sb. out”表示收购；对于这个词不认知问题不大，后面给出了提示，表明发生了问题。而第二人给出了建议。具体而言，第一人说情况很不乐观，第二人说还有希望，能向银行求助。由此可知，他们的经济状况不佳，急需帮助。

解析：
这是一篇关于大学生课外实践的社论，原文刊登在英国的《卫报》上：
这里再次验证了平时阅读外刊的重要性，沪江部落小组里就有一些外刊的学习贴，大家平时可以参考一下：如《BBC新闻听写》《AP一分钟时事精华》《今日TOPIC》《六级出题来源揭秘》
文章第一句，同样没有挖空，旨在帮助学生快速进入语境。
文章主旨句：课外实践是大学生专业课程的重要补充。
62. 需要通篇理解才能给出答案。
63. 上一句的关键词是usually, 讲述的是“通常的情况”，与“现在的情况”形成对比。因此63选but。
64. 这里需要一个和to搭配的动词，表达“投入”之意，因此只有devote符合。
65. 全文都在讲述学生找工作，这里的“人才市场”竞争激烈，才符合题意，因此competitive符合。
66. 本句里有个alongside，相当于beside，这里指课外实践以外的方面，当然就是academic
67. 这里需要一个副词修饰动词appreciate，根据but前后的逻辑，我们应该选择necessarily，表示“必然；必定”: Big men aren't necessarily strong men. 高大的人不一定强壮.
68. 根据全文的大意，这里的appreciate要接“课外实践”作宾语。

69. 根据下文的描述，我们可以知道“现在的雇主要比原先苛刻很多”，所以这里需要填上demanding
70. 根据本段最后一句，Now后面的描述，我们知道，原先并不是这样，原先只注重应聘者的潜力，其实“saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant' s skills”也是一个佐证。这里我们可以回过头看看一下，第62题，不难选出62题的答案，雇主！
71. 这里需要一个和to 搭配的形容词，根据倒数第二段的最后一句，我们很好判断出答案选择relevant。
72. 本空考察动词短语，sign up for 表示“登记报名”，这里是符合题意的。
73. 根据文章第一句，这里很好判断，应该是voluntary，表示义工。
74. 这里是几个动作的顺承，应该用and。
75.B) Exceptional 这里需要形容词修饰efforts。exceptional，特别的，卓越的。2008年北京奥运会闭幕式上，奥委会主席罗格就用了exceptional这个词来形容这场盛世。什么样的成绩可以得奖呢？当然是优秀的成绩。occasional，偶然的；informative，内容充实的；relative，相关的。
76.A) perform 这里句子缺少谓语动词。perform，表现。学生、员工的“表现”，通常用perform/performance这个词。circulate，循环；convey，传达；formulate，制定、用公式表示。在运动场上表现优秀的学生可以获得体育相关的奖项。
77.C) formally 这里需要副词修饰动词organised。可以从Goodman后面举的例子上来判断，学生的经验不需要非要正式。roughly，粗略地；randomly，随机地；fortunately，幸运的。注意句子中的否定成分。
78.A) For instance 下面开始举例，故选择此项。In contrast，相反；In essence，本质上；Of course，当然。
79.A) demonstrated 词义辨析题。这里需要动词，与skills联系。demonstrate，展示；operate，操作；determine，决定；involve，卷入、包括。学生通过实践经验，展现自己的谈判技巧。
80.C) scheme 词义辨析。device，设备；section，部分；scheme，计划；distraction，分心。这里指的是Bristol PLuS这项奖励计划。
81.D) peers 词义辨析。attendant，出席者；member，会员；agent，经纪人；peer，同龄人。
本次六级完型填空考察了4处名词，3处连词，3处动词，6处形容词，2处介词，2处副词。只有少数几处能通过微观层面的语法搭配判定选项，其他大部分都需要通篇理解，因此有一定难度。

Part VI Translation
82. Even though they were already late, they would rather stop for the beautiful view(宁愿停下来欣赏美丽的景色) than just go on.
解析：
本题考查两个知识点，比较活。停下来做某事可以表达为stop for sth.（此处sth.为汉译英动词转名词的技巧，即doing sth. → sth.），stop to do sth. 或者stop and do sth.。而”欣赏美丽的景色”，若用动词组合表达则为enjoy the beautiful view即可。
83. No agreement was reached in the discussion between the two parties, as either side refuses to soften their positions (任何一方都不肯放弃自己的立场)
解析：
本题语言表达在新闻英语中出现频率较高，一定程度上考查了考生平时练习新闻英语听力的成果。任何一方既可以用neither side（后跟“放弃”的表达），也可以用either side（后跟“不肯放弃”的表达），而立场的表达较多，可用standpoint, position, ground, stance等，所搭配的动词也不尽相同。
84. The pills could have cured the cancer patient (本来可以治愈那位癌症病人的), but he didn't follow the doctor's advice and take them regularly.
解析：
等到本题虚拟语气的用法并不令人惊讶，这是历年六级考试中出现频率最多的考点之一，而治愈则用动词cure。heal更侧重于康复，愈合之意。
85. It is really kind of you to give me so much help（你真好，给了我那么多帮助）；I really feel obliged to you.
解析：
本题令人欣喜，因为对于it is kind of sb. to do sth.的句法，绝大多数考生都烂熟于胸，而趋于口语的整句意思，也可轻易补全空格内容。
86. The war left the family scattered all over the world, and it was thirty years before they were able to reunite（他们才得以重聚）
解析：
本题考查before的上下文语境用法。除去“在…之前”的意思外，A从句 + before + B从句还能理解为A，B两事先后发生，即A之后，B接着发生。原句意为“三十年之后，他们才得以重聚”。如采用汉译英中的动词转名词的技巧，则可回答before their reunion。
整体评价：
今年6月的六级翻译考题难度不大，把握关键句法结构，如84题的虚拟语气，85题的it is kind of sb. to do sth.以及86题中before的用法，可以基本保证翻译题不翻船。而至于翻译中令人犹豫的部分可以斟酌取舍，拿不定的表达和用法只要做到保证句子通顺，符合语意即可，不必过分纠结。
