【作文解析】
本次六级考试作文题为Thewaytosuccess，与本次四级考试作文Nothingsucceedswithoutastrongwill遥相呼应，大同小异，都是在讨论成功这一话题。
此次六级考试作文的话题依然是老生常谈，即通往成功的道路，相信很多考生对此并不陌生，背过范文的同学写起来肯定也是得心应手。
该范文段落结构清晰，阐释说理也足以让人信服，是一篇不错的作文。
开篇作者通过引用爱迪生关于天才的一句名言来引出问题，吸引读者注意，引起读者的思考。紧随其后，作者就开门见山地亮出了自己的观点：只有坚强的意志和不懈的努力才能打开成功的大门。
第二段，作者同样以一个问题来引领全段，引发思考。然后通过对比不成功和最终成功的人的不同表现，来阐释坚强的意志对获得成功的重要作用。
【标准版】

Althoughit’snevereasytosucceed,progressingwiththestrongwillanddiligencetowardstherightdirection,you’llbetheone!
这是一篇议论文。作者首先提出问题”whatissuccess”,但并没有在这个问题上着更多的笔墨，而是直接引出了自己的观点：successisdoingsomethingonereallyfeelslikedoing.算是立意较为新颖的地方。随后在第二段对这种成功背后的三种必要条件做出了阐述。整体看，行文流畅，用语规范地道。
本篇亮点：
1.排比词组或句子的运用：
Successissomethingeveryonelooksfor,longsforanddiesfor.
…namely,knowingwhereyourinterestreallyliesin,possessingthestrongwilltopursueyourinterestandhavingthediligencetorealizeyourdream.
2.bearinmind
3.liein
4.strongwilltopursueyourinterest
本文有待提高之处：
1.文中人称有些混乱。有些使用第二人称代指读者，有些又以第三人称指代，建议统一。
2.结构上，一般情况下我们建议考生使用典型的“三段式”，即，提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。该作者基本上遵循了这个原则，但第三段更多的却是重复了第二段的中心思想，并没有起到很好的总结作用。如果第三段，作者可以与第一段的“成功定义”相呼应，例如：即使没有这些身外之物，但心灵上的满足，梦想的实现，才是我心中成功的本质。

SectionB
PassageOne
同是一个实验室里面老鼠，如果是为了人类实验做贡献，就是人们眼中的好老鼠;而一旦老鼠从实验室里面跑出来，携带病菌危害到了人类健康，那么这些逃跑掉的老鼠就成为了人们眼中的坏老鼠。人类会使用那些捕鼠夹子来消灭坏老鼠，但是对待好老鼠的时候态度截然不同，比如作者儿子的宠物老鼠死掉了，他们家甚至给它办了一场葬礼。
作者的观点就是：如果我们对一样事物贴上了标签，那么在道德层面上，我们内心会根据标签的不同作出不同的反应。并不是事物本身有任何好与不好，只是人类自作主张给各个事物贴上了不同的标签。

【解析】
开篇第一句即指出领导才能在当今竞争激烈的商务领域的重要地位，是排名第二的重要词汇，并指出原因。随后进一步指出，研究领导才能的专家们会毫不犹豫地指出“做事情的方式”影响结果的成功与否，并且暗示着做事方式的对与错。最后，作者引用了曾经是一位出色管理人PeterDrucker总结的一句话：管理是将事情做对，领导是做对的事情。意即在PeterDrucker看来，优秀的领导人需要擅长做对的事情。以上都是先前存在的对商务领导才能的一些看法。
随后第二段，作者就将话题一转，指出StephenCovey在其畅销书中提出的观点开始引起人们反思先前对领导才能的理解。StephenCovey指出先前的领导才能都是以人的性格和个性为中心，而他则倡导领导人必须了解实现高效的普遍原则，并且强调了领导人要想在工作中有杰出表现，先实现良好的自我管理是至关重要的。在此基础上，作者水到渠成地指出，要达到业务目标，必须要对自己的目标和重视的东西有清楚的认识。最后，作者总结出，商务领导才能就是要将首要的事情放在首要位置，这就暗示着在领导他人之前，你要先对自己的价值观、能力和优势有清楚的认识，并且要让自己在别人看来是值得信任的。换句话说，优秀的商务领导要十分了解自己，并且要能赢得他人的信任。

56.BToincreasetheirmarketshareoverseas.
从难度上来讲，本文不算是一篇很难的阅读题，涉及到的陌生词和比较偏的单词并不是太多。但是考生在做题的时候，还是要保持谨慎。
在答题的时候，大家还是按照以往的做题方式，先通过题目中的关键词到原文中定位。在定位的时候，可以略读，但要抓住重要信息点。此外，but等转折词之后会是经常考到的考点，因此，53题则通过“Butthere’sanotherwayoflookingatthetradedata.Overthepasttwoyears,thefiguresonimportsandexportsseemnottosignaladouble-diprecession。。。butaneconomicexpansion.”这一句的信息点选出答案。
54题则定位到“Therisingtideoftradeisalsogoodnewsforpeoplewhoworkintrade-sensitivebusinesses,especiallythosethatproducecommoditiesforwhichglobaldemandsetstheprice—agriculturalgoods,mining,metals,oil.”
55题，考生要特别注意，不可因为“OnegreatchallengefortheU.S.economyisslackdomesticconsumerdemand.”这一句中有slack一词，就错误的选择了D。其实正确答案是C选项。
56.题考查作者的建议，主要是扩大市场份额。因此答案选B。
57.A.theystillhaveaplaceamongtheworldleaders.
58.B.Itdoesnotreflectthedifferencesamonguniversities.

本文摘自2008年《美国时代周刊》7月10日科技版，标题为TheTruthAboutPlastic，由环保主义者JeanneHaegele如何在生活中发现无塑料制品的举动引申到对塑料制品的思考。
62.介词搭配题。第一段开头提出问题：如果你知道哪儿能找到一种非塑料包装的洗发液，你能告诉JeanneHaegele吗接着引出去年9月，这位28岁的芝加哥居民决心不在日常生活中使用塑料制品。resolvetodosth.决定做某事,recover和from搭配，重新获得…;remove…form移开，免除…;retreat撤退，退却，均不符合题意。
63.本题缺少一个连接词构成介词+宾语形式，根据句意判断，这里是常见塑料制品化学物质对可能会对人体产生的影响，应用what。
64.该题比较简单，根据上下文不难推断，这里是指塑料垃圾也会对环境产生危害。
65.这里考查固定搭配。hopon跳上…。
66.根据前文，她跳上自行车去百货商店寻找不含塑料的商品。consistofsth.组成…;induce诱导，引起;compose构成，组成，与要表达的意义相反。
68.和上句的bought对应，这里应该填purchase，“她没买到…，她确实买到了….”;pursue继续，从事，追赶;preserve保存，保护，维护;prescribe开药方。
69.考查onlyto结构。她买到了罐装的食品和盒装牛奶，却发现外包装也是含有塑料树脂的。onlyto结果是，不料竟会，表转折。
70.考查短语意义。belinedwith给某物安衬里;做内衬;这里指罐装食品和盒装牛奶的包装内层是塑料树脂。
71.考查固定搭配。onone’swayto…在…的途中。
72.考查固定短语意义。endupin以…告终;以…结束，尤指经历了一长段路程或过程。这里指垃圾2700万垃圾都被填埋在垃圾填埋场里。
73.词义辨析。这里举例说明20世纪60年代，塑料制品在美国人的日常生活中屡见不鲜，食品和水都采用塑料包装。wrap包，缠绕;adopt采取，接受;adapt使适应，改变;trap诱捕，使陷入困境。
74.根据上下文意义，这里需要填写一个说明塑料制品的性质的副词。依次代入各选项，infinitely是可无限再利用，符合题意。
75.跟上题一样，这里需要填入形容词说明塑料制品的性质。父母们担忧塑料制品有毒性，因此选toxic。
76.本题有一定难度，词义辨析。家长们担忧塑料制品有毒，会从家庭用品进入孩子们的血液循环，household比family更地道合适。
77.考查考生对上下文关系的理解。这里说Haegele不是唯一一个摈弃塑料制品的人，后半句递进，说明她甚至不是第一个写博客记录这种努力的人。
78.根据上题的阐释，Haegele的行为只是一种努力，不是出于勤奋，也不是娱乐，也并没有取得一定的成就。因此选endeavor。
79.考查固定搭配。根据全文意义可推断，塑料制品在我们的生活中如此普遍，要做到不使用塑料制品绝非易事，farfrom…远非…。
80.考查so…that固定搭配。本题为送分题，不做过多解释。
81.考查固定短语搭配。comeintocontactwith接触到。
总之，今年六级的完型填空，涉及4处名词，1处介词，7处动词，1处形容词和5处连词,2个副词。有一定难度，第76题较难，其余部分只要在句子内部或者句子之间进行上下文逻辑比对或语法搭配，即可完成。词义辨析和短语搭配考查较多，因此，考生要特别注意六词汇的积累、掌握和运用。
PartVITranslation
1.Youshouldn'thaverunacrosstheroadwithoutlooking,youwouldhavebeenknockeddownbyacar.(也许会被车撞到)
解析：本题考察虚拟语气。句子是与过去事实相反，因此用wouldhave+过去分词，表虚拟语气。
2Bynomeansdoesheregardedhimselfasanexpert,(他把自己当成专家)althoughheknowsalotaboutthefield.
解析：本题考察倒装和词组regardsb.assth.(把…当作…)。介词短语bynomeans置于句首，构成部分倒装，因此把助动词does提前。
3Hedoesn'tappreciatethesacrificehisfriendshavemadeforhim,however,hetakesitforgranted.(把他们所做的视作理所应当)
解析：本题考察词组takesth.forgranted(把…当作理所当然)。同时，考生要注意句子后半句前是一个逗号，要加上一个连词and或者加上however。
