In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were _36_ aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has _37_ many of the mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticketagents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with,just as the weavers were.For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising _38_. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more _39_ society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was _40_ on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not rendered _41_, but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has_42_, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its _43_. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology's _44_ will feel like a tornado (旋风), hitting the rich world first, but _45_ sweeping through poorer countries too. No government is prepared for it.参考答案：36. N swept37. B displaced38.

D eventuallyPassage TwoQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Some of the worlds most significant problems never hit headlines.One example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the worlds major crops.A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that tood place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the worlds most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughted up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。61.What does the author try to draw attention to?A)Food riots and hunger in the world.

The typical menu of Chinese banquet includes a set of cold dishes,which means that we can begin eating now, with the hot food followed, such as meat, chicken, ducks and vegetables. Whole fish is considered essential in most banquets, unless all kinds of seafood have been served. Chinese like to combine the western specialty with traditional Chinese dishes, so it is very common to see a lot of steak on the table. Despite the fact that, traditionally, Chinese dont like to eat any raw cooking dishes, salads have also been popular. There are at least a kind of soup at the dinner, which can be served either at first or at last. Dessert and fruit are the sign that the dinner is come to the end.2015年6月大学英语六级考试刚刚结束，同学们应该能明确感受到，六级考试的翻译要比四级难很多，存在一些难度较高的词汇表达。文都教育专业英语老师第一时间给大家推送六级翻译参考答案。本次考试采取“多题多卷”模式，试题顺序不统一，请依据试题进行核对。2015年6月六级翻译原文(中国城市化)：2011年是中国城市化(urbanization)进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。在未来20年里，预计有3.5亿农村人口将移居城市。如此规模的城市发展对城市交通来说既是挑战，也是机遇。中国政府一直提倡“以人为本”的发展理念，强调人们以公交而不是私家车出行。它还号召建设“资源节约和环境友好型”社会。有了这个明确的目标，中国城市就可以更好地规划其发展，并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。2015年6月六级翻译参考答案(文都教育)：The 2011 is a historic moment in Chinese urbanization process, when the urban population surpassed the rural population for the first time. During the next 20 years, it is estimated that about 350 million rural population will move to cities. Such large-scale of urbanization is both a challenge and an opportunity to the urban traffic. The Chinese government has always been advocating “people-oriented” developing concept, emphasizing that people should travel by buses instead of by private cars. It also calls for the construction of “resource saving and environment friendly” society. With this explicit goal, China can have a better-planned urbanization process, and therefore divert more investment to the development of safe, clean and economical transportation system.专心-专注-专业
