2013 年 6 月六级考试真题答案解析（第一套）12013 年 6 月大学英语六级考试真题(一)答案与详解Part Writing1、审题: : 本篇是评论性的话题作文。 “微笑”是常谈不衰的话题，它本应是人们最自然、最常见的表情，而现代都市人大都为生活、工作、学业、子女等种种事务日复一日地劳碌奔波，背负着越来越大的压力，那种最真诚、最自然、最质朴的微笑正渐渐从人们的脸上消失。在科技发达的现代社会，人与人之间在空间上的距离更近了，但在心灵上却越走越远。本篇要求评论“微笑可以拉近两个人的距离”这句话并为文，而在更深层次上，出题人似乎是想借这个题目引发人们的思考，让人们通过“微笑”消除彼此之间的冷漠、仇恨、冲突，搭建良好的交流沟通和亲近的桥梁，因此这一题目开放性强，考生可发挥的空间很大。此外，题目 Drections 中指出考生可以援引事例来证明观点，这为考生行文提供了一个思路，即：先陈述微笑的作用，然后援引事例予以证明，并对事例简单评述以点题，最后提出个人看法。此外，考生也可先指出微笑可以缩短人与人之间距离的几个方面，然后指出微笑所代表的深层含义(人与人之间的信任支持、关怀友爱、宽容悲悯等真挚情感） ，最后再作出总结。2、写作思路：第一段：引用特蕾莎修女的名言，指出微笑能缩短人与人之间的距离，并从三个方面体现：消融冷漠或敌意；赋予力量；拉近友情。第二段：从不同角度举例证明微笑能缩短人与人之间的距离：绝望中抚慰心灵；陌生环境中与人亲近，获得帮助；困境中，获得力量。第三段：总结前面所述，给出个人看法：微笑让我们受益匪浅，笑口常开促进人与人的交流，促进社会的和谐。A Smile Can Shorten the Distance Between PeopleMother Teresa once said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, abeautiful thing.” Human beings are said to be one of the few species in this planet who can express sinceresentiments through a smile. And it is a smile that melts the indifference or hostility between people, that givespower to those who are at the edge of despair, and that brings friends close to each other. In a word, it is a smilethat continuously shortens the distance between people.A smile, with its strong power, brings out its miraculous glamour in different ways. When you are in thesituation of despair, a smile from others will console your hurting heart. When you get into an unfamiliarcircumstance, a smile will make the people around you feel comfortable and help you willingly. When you get intotrouble, a smile from friends will give you power to stand up. Where there is no smile, there is no happiness of life.Seen from the discussion above, a smile benefits us very much. Lets keep smiling so that bettercommunication between people can be achieved and a more harmonious society can be built.PartListening Comprehension1.听力原文：W: I was shocked to hear of your wifes illness.

Lots of these things are also about making long-term predictions on the basis ofpresent evidence.M: Are many economists involved in this field?W: An increasing number.
