2010年12月大学英语六级真题答案（翻译部分
82. There is no denying that you ___________(越仔
细越好) in dealing with this matter.
解析：can never be too careful / can not be too
careful
【考点解释】本题考查“越仔细越好”“再…也不为
过”的固定搭配，即can never be too/can not be too
+ adj.
【原句精释】无可否认，处理这件事，越仔细越好。
83. Only when I reached my thirties
__________________________ (我才意识到读书是
不能被忽视的)
解析：did I realize that reading cannot be neglected
did I realize that reading is unignorable
【考点解释】本题考查由only when 引起的局部倒
装。当only when置于句首，主句用局部倒装，即
将助动词置于主语前面。only when引导句子时态为过去时（reached），为保持时态一致，主句助动
词用did；注意被动语态的使用，re ading与neglect
为被动关系。同时也可以使用be+adj的结构。
【原句精释】直到三十岁，我才意识不能忽视读书。
84. Much ___________________ (使研究人员感到
惊讶)，the outcome of the experiment was far better
than they had expected.
解析：to the researchers’ surprise
【考点解释】本题考查固定搭配 to one’s surprise
使…惊讶的是…
【原句精释】让研究人员大为惊讶的是，实验结果
比他们的预计好得多。
85. Oh, my, I can’t find my key;
__________________________（我一定是把它放在
哪儿了）。
解析：I must have left / put it somewhere.
【考点解释】本题考查对过去事情的肯定的猜测，
即must have+过去分词，leav e与put都有放置的
意思，但leave强调遗忘在…，较之put，leave更
贴合题意 。
【原句精释】天啊，我找不到钥匙。我一定是把它
放在哪儿了。
86．I ________________________(宁愿加入你们去
做义工)than go to the beach for a holiday.
解析：would rather join you as a volunteer
【考点解释】考查结构“宁愿…也不愿…”, 因题干中
已存在“than go”的结构，只能使用 “would rather
do rather than do”。加入… join sb
【原句精释】我宁愿加入你们去做义工，也不愿到
海边去度假。

2010年12月大学英语六级真题答案（快速阅读）

解析：关键字1994对应第一段第三行， 题干中
unsustainable即选项A中sustained的反义表达方
式。选择A。

机制危机一时的 缓解的举措。

2010年12月大学英语六级真题答案（听力原文）
Section A
短对话（11~18）
11
W: This is one of our best and least expensive
two-bedroom
listings. It’s located in a quiet building and it’s
close to bus lines.
M: That maybe true. But look at it, it’s awful, the
paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove
is ancient.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

12
M: The pictures we took at the botanical garden
should be ready
tomorrow.
W: I can’t wait to see them, I’m wondering if the
shots I took are
as good as I thought.
Q: What is the woman eager to know?

13
W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you
have it fixed by
next Tuesday?
M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches
but that
shouldn’t take too long.
Q: What does the man mean?

14
M: This truck looks like what I need but I’m worried
about
maintenance. For us it’ll have to operate for long
periods of
time in very cold temperatures.
W: We have several models that are especially
adaptive for
extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?
Q: What do we learn about the man from the
conversation?

15
M: I think your boss would be very upset when he
gets your
letter of resignation.
W: That may be so. But in the letter, I just told him
frankly I could
no longer live with his poor management and
stupid
decisions.
Q: What do we learn about the woman?

16
W: I’d like to exchange the shirt. I’ve learned that the
person
bought it for allergic to wool.
M: Maybe we can find something in cotton or silk.
Please come
this way.
Q；What does the women want to do？

17
M: Excuse me, Miss？Did anyone happen to turn in
a new
handbag? You know, it’s a birthday gift for my
wife.
W: Let me see. Oh, we’ve got quite a lot of women’s
bags here. Can you give me more detailed
information, such as the color, the size and the
trademark?
Q: Where does this conversation most probably take
place?

18
M: What are you going to do with the old house you
are in
heritage from your grandfather?
W: I once intended to sell it, but now, I’m thinking of
turning it
into a guest house, because it's still a solid
structure.
Q: What does the man plan to do with his old
house?

长对话（19~25）
W: When you write a novel, do you know where
you’re going,
Dr. James?
M: Yes, you must, really, if you’re writing the classical
detective
story, because it must be so carefully plotted and
so carefully
clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have
diagrams. It
doesn’t mean to say that I always get it right, but
I do plan
before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating
is how a
book changes during the process of writing. It
seems to me
that creative writing is a process of recalibration,
really,
rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.
W: When you’re planning the basic structure, do you
like to go
away to be sure that you’re by yourself?
M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I can’t
even bare
anybody else in the house. I don’t mind much
where I am as
long as I’ve got enough space to write, but I need
to be
completely alone.
W: Is that very important to you?
M: Oh, yes. I’ve never been lonely in all my life.
W: How extraordinary! Never?
M: No, never.
W: You’re very lucky. Someone once said that there’s
a bit of ice
at the heart of every writer.
M: Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside
from
experience and look at it, watch it happening.
There is this
‘detachment’ and I realize that there are
obviously
experiences which would overwhelm everyone.
But very
often, a writer can appear to stand aside, and
this
detachment makes people feel there’s a bit of ice
in the
heart.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation
you have just heard.
19. What is the key to write a good classical
detective story according to the man?
20. What does the man mainly need when working
on a book?
21. What does the man say about writers?

W: There is an element there about competition
then, isn’t
there? Because British railways are a nationalized
industry.
There’s only one railway system in the country. If
you don’t
like a particular kind of big beans, you can go and
buy
another. But if you don't like a particular railway,
you can’t go
and use another.
M: Some people who write to me say this. They say
that if you
didn’t have monopoly, you wouldn’t be able to
do the things
you do. Well, I don’t think we do anything
deliberately to
upset our customers. We have particular
problems. Since
1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were
nationalized.
W: Do you think that’s a good thing? Has it been a
good thing for
the railways, do you think, to be nationalized?
M: Oh I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of
transport are
all around. Let’s face the fact. The car arrived.
The car is here
to stay. There is no question about that.
W: So what are you saying then? Is it if the railways
happen
being nationalized, they would simply have
disappeared?
M: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing
fast in
America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion
ponds a year.
The German railways, 2 billion ponds a year. But
you see,
those governments are preparing to pour money
into the
transport system to keep it going.
W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes.
On the one
hand, you’re trying not to lose too much money.
And on the
other hand, you’ve got to provide the best
service.
M: Yes, you are right.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation
you have just heard.
22. What does the woman say about British railways?
23. What do some people who write to the man
complain about?
24. What does the man say threatens the existence
of railways?
25. What does the man say about railways in other
countries?
