12011年12月英语六级考前预测试题及答案中华考试网()【大中小】[2011年9月22日]PartⅠWriting(30minutes)Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteashortessayentitledCollegeStudentsontheJobMarket.Youshouldwriteatleast150wordsfollowingtheoutlinegivenbelow.1.当今大学生面临着严重的就业压力2.这一现象的产生有多方面的原因3.解决的办法CollegeStudentsontheJobMarket【答案解析】【写作思路】本文是关于对某种社会现象的讨论，探讨其原因，并提供解决问题的方案。毕业生就业压力大，是目前比较热门的话题，媒体、社会以及学生本人都会时不时的讨论，所以文章难度不是很大。文章开篇提出就业压力大的问题，毕业生越来越多，而就业市场却保持稳定，两者之间的不平衡，导致毕业生面临越来越大的就业压力。第二段讨论出现这种问题的原因。第一方面，从宏观上来看，整个世界的经济危机影响了就业市场;第二方面，从学校招生来看，热门专业人数过多，结果供过于求，而冷门专业学生很少，结果供不应求。第三段针对第二段的原因，探讨相应的解决方案。从政府的角度出发，要尽可能的采取各种手段帮助经济恢复，帮助学生就业;从个人角度出发，要学会自主选择，不追潮流，学习自己感兴趣的，努力提高自身素质，增强竞争能力。【参考范文】Moreandmoregraduatesaregoingoutofuniversitiesandenteringintothesocietyeveryyearwhilethedemandonthejobmarketremainsstable.Thecollegestudentsarefacinggreaterandgreaterpressureinjob-hunting.Therearemanyreasonsbehindthecurrentphenomenon.Tobeginwith,theeconomyhasbeenconfrontedwithdepressioninrecentyearsonagloballevel,andittakestimefortheworldwideeconomytorecover.What'smore,thereisanelementofirrationalityintheenrollmentofthecampuses.Somehotmajorshaveenrolledtoomanystudents,andmanypeoplecompeteforonepositionaftergraduation,whereasthemajorswithlittleattentionhavefewstudents,andmoregraduatesareneededthanthecampuscansupply.Thesolutiontothisproblemlieswithboththegovernmentasawholeandtheindividualinspecific.Thegovernmenttakeswhatevermeasurespossibletohelptheeconomyrecoverandtocreatemorejobopportunitiesfortheapplicants.Andfortheindividualstudents,itisbettertostudywhattheyareinterestedinandtogainexperiencethroughpractice,thusbetterpreparedforthesociety.PartⅡReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)(15minutes)Directions:Inthispart,youwillhave15minutestogooverthepassagequicklyandanswerthequestionsonAnswerSheet1.Forquestions1-7,choosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD).Forquestions8-10,completethesentenceswiththeinformationgiveninthepassage.BuyingtheBestInsuranceforYourBusinessGabrielleMelchiondabrokeintotearswhenfirefightersaccidentallyfloodedtheheadquartersofMadGab’s,thebeautycompanyshehadfoundedtwodecadesago,eventhoughsheknewthatinsurancewouldreplacethedesks,computers,andshelvesoflipbalm(唇膏)shehadlost.Tohersurprise,however,therealpaincameinthemonthsthatfollowed,whenshecontinuedtoowesalariesandrentwhilehersalesslowedtoatrickle(滴，淌，细流).“Thecriticalpiecethatwasmissingwasbusiness-interruptioninsurance,”saidMs.Melchionda,whohadpropertyandliabilityinsurancebuthadnevergotaroundtoaddingapolicythatreplacesincomelostafteraccidents.BusinessownershaveplentyofstorieslikeMs.Melchionda’s,ofpoliciesthatdidn’tcoverenoughdamageorcoveredthewrongrisk.Someofthesecomplaintscanbeattributedtotight-fistedinsurancecompaniesormisinformedagents,butthefaultoftenlieswithentrepreneurs(企业家)whoglossovertheirinsurancedecisions.“Generallyspeaking,small-businessownersarenotcompletelyawareofthecoveragetheyhaveorthecoveragetheyneed,”saidStevenSpiro,anindependentinsuranceagent,explainingthatmanysmall-businessownersbuyinsurancesimplytocomplywiththerequirementsofanofficelease.PickinganAgentBuyinginsurancecanbeintimidating(使人胆怯的),andit’sdifficulttoknowwhoistryingtotakeadvantageofyouandwhoisgivinghonestadvice.That’swhyyou2shouldstartbyaskingotherentrepreneursinyourindustrywhatkindsofinsurancetheycarryandwhotheyboughtitfrom.Therearethreetypesofvendorswhocanhelpyoupickinsurance:independentagents,captiveagents(专属代理人),andriskconsultants.Independentagents,alsoknownasbrokers,offerthegreatestchoicebecausetheytypicallyrepresentmanycarriers.Theyarepaidoncommissionbytheinsurancecompany,between10percentand20percentoftheannualpremiumdependingonthepolicy.Beware:becausesomecarrierspayahighercommissionthanothers,brokersmaybetemptedtoplayfavorites.转Captiveagentsrepresentoneinsurancecompanythatpaysthemasalaryandcommandstheirloyalty.SomecompaniessuchasAllstateonlydealwiththeirownagents;thatmeansyoucanonlybuytheirpoliciesthroughoneoftheiragents.Bothindependentandcaptiveagentsreceivebonusesattheendoftheyearbasedontheirratioofpoliciessoldtodamagespaid.Thatmeansit’sintheirinteresttosellyouasmuchinsuranceaspossibleandminimizeyourclaimsasmuchaspossible.Understand,also,thatmostagentsfocussolelyoninsurance.“Sometimestherearesolutionstoyourproblemthatmightbebettertreatedwithoutinsurance,”saidArthurFlitner,asmall-businessexpertattheInsuranceInstituteofAmerica.Insomecases,forexample,itmakesmorefinancialsensetoself-insureagainstcertainpropertyrisksbysettinguparainy-dayfund,ortominimizelawsuitrisksbyenforcingstrictemploymentpolicies.That’swhenariskconsultantcanhelp.Becausethey’recostly—you’llusuallypayafewthousanddollarsforabasicproject—itmakessensetohireariskexpertonlyifyouhaveanunusuallyriskyoperation,orrunabusinesswithmorethan,say,$25millioninrevenue(收入)ormorethan100employees.Afteryou’vefoundsometrustworthyvendors,it’stimetoshopforbids.Gotoasmanybrokersandagentsasyoulike,butkeepinmindthatinsurancecompanieswon’tbidonthesameaccountthroughdifferentbrokers.PickingaPolicyIfyou’regrossinglessthan$3million,youwillmostlikelyendupwi
