1、大学六级-762 及答案解析(总分:666.01,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Part Writing(总题数:1,分数:106.00)现在有不少单位热衷于组织年会1对这种做法有人表示支持2有人并不赞成3我认为Should Enterprises Hold an Annual Meeting?_(分数:106.00)_二、Part Reading Compr(总题数:1,分数:70.00)The Truth about LyingRicky Gervaiss new film, The Invention of Lying, is about a world where lying doesnt
2、 exist, which means that everybody tells the truth, and everybody believes everything everybody else says. “Ive always hated you,“ a man tells a work colleague. “He seems nice, if a bit fat,“ a woman says about her date. Its all truth, all the time, at whatever the cost. Until one day, when Mark, a
3、down-on-his-luck loser played by Gervais, discovers a thing called “lying“ and what it can get him. Within days, Mark is rich, famous, and courting the girl of his dreams. And because nobody knows what “lying“ is, he goes on, happily living what has become a complete and utter farce (喜剧).Its meant t
4、o be funny, but its also a more serious commentary on us all. As Americans, we like to think we value the truth. Time and time again, public-opinion polls show that honesty is among the top five characteristics we want in a leader, friend, or lover; the world is full of sad stories about the tragic
5、consequences of betrayal. At the same time, deception is all around us. We are lied to by government officials and public figures to a disturbing degree; many of our social relationships are based on little white lies we tell each other. We deceive our children, only to be deceived by them in return
6、. And the average person, says psychologist Robert Feldman, the author of a new book on lying, tells at least three lies in the first 10 minutes of a conversation. “Theres always been a lot of lying,“ says Feldman, whose new book, The Liar in Your Life, came out this month. “But I do think were seei
7、ng a kind of cultural shift where were lying more, its easier to lie, and in some ways its almost more acceptable.“As Paul Ekman, one of Feldmans longtime lying colleagues and the inspiration behind the Fox IV series “Lie To Me“ defines it, a liar is a person who “intends to mislead,“ “deliberately,
8、“ without being asked to do so by the target of the lie. Which doesnt mean that all lies are equally toxic: some are simply habitual - “My pleasure!“ - while others might be well-meaning white lies. But each, Feldman argues, is harmful, because of the standard it creates. And the more lies we tell,
9、even if theyre little white lies, the more deceptive we and society become.We are a culture of liars, to put it bluntly, with deceit so deeply ingrained in our mind that we hardly even notice were engaging in it. Junk e-mail, deceptive advertising, the everyday pleasantries (客套话) we dont really mean
10、 - “Its so great to meet you! I love that dress“ - have, as Feldman puts it, become “a white noise weve learned to neglect.“ And Feldman also argues that cheating is more common today than ever. The Josephson Institute, a nonprofit focused on youth ethics, concluded in a 2008 survey of nearly 30,000
11、 high school students that “cheating in school continues to be rampant (猖獗), and its getting worse.“ In that survey, 64 percent of students said theyd cheated on a test during the past year, up from 60 percent in 2006. Another recent survey, by Junior Achievement, revealed that more than a third of
12、teens believe lying, cheating, or plagiarizing (抄袭) can be necessary to succeed, while a brand-new study, commissioned by the publishers of Feldmans book, shows that 18-to 34-year-olds- those of us fully reared in this lying culture - deceive more frequently than the general population.Teaching us t
13、o lie is not the purpose of Feldmans book. His subtitle, in fact, is “the way to truthful relationships.“ But if his book teaches us anything, its that we should sharpen our skills - and use them with abandon.Liars get what they want. They avoid punishment, and they win others affection. Liars make
14、themselves sound smart and intelligent, they attain power over those of us who believe them, and they often use their lies to rise up in the professional world. Many liars have fun doing it. And many more take pride in getting away with it.As Feldman notes, there is an evolutionary basis for decepti
15、on: in the wild, animals use deception to “play dead“ when threatened. But in the modem world, the motives of our lying are more selfish. Research has linked socially successful people to those who are good liars. Students who succeed academically get picked for the best colleges, despite the fact t
16、hat, as one recent Duke University study found, as many as 90 percent of high-schoolers admit to cheating. Even lying adolescents are more popular among their peers.And all it takes is a quick flip of the remote to see how our public figures fare when they get caught in a lie: Clinton keeps his wife
17、 and goes on to become a national hero. Fabricating author James Frey gets a million-dollar book deal. Eliot Spitzers wife stands by his side, while “Appalachian hiker“ Mark Sanford still gets to keep his post. If everyone else is being rewarded for lying, dont we need to lie, too, just to keep up?B
18、ut whats funny is that even as we admit to being liars, study after study shows that most of us believe we can tell when others are lying to us. And while lying may be easy, spotting a liar is far from it. A nervous sweat or shifty eyes can certainly mean a persons uncomfortable, but it doesnt neces
19、sarily mean theyre lying. Gaze aversion, meanwhile, has more to do with shyness than actual deception. Even polygraph (测谎器) machines are unreliable. And according to one study, by researcher Bella DePaulo, were only able to differentiate a lie from truth only 47 percent of the time, less than if we
20、guessed randomly. “Basically everything weve heard about catching a liar is wrong,“ says Feldman, who heads the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.Ekman, meanwhile, has spent decades studying micro-facial expressions of liars: the split- second eyeb
21、row arch that shows surprise when a spouse asks who was on the phone; the furrowed (皱起的) nose that gives away a hint of disgust when a person says “I love you.“ Hes trained everyone from the Secret Service to the TSA, and believes that with close study, its possible to identify those tiny emotions.
22、The hard part, of course, is proving them. “A lot of times, its easier to believe,“ says Feldman. “It takes a lot of cognitive effort to think about whether someone is lying to us.“Which means that more often than not, were like the poor dumb souls of The Invention of Lying, hanging on a liars every
23、 word, no matter how untruthful they may be.(分数:70.00)(1).What do we know about Mark in the film The Invention of Lying?(分数:7.00)A.He looks too thin for his date.B.He is the most honest man.C.Lying changes his life completely.D.He lives in a lying world.(2).According to Robert Feldman, the author of
