Passage Two
Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.
Some of the world’s most significant problems never hit example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops.A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.
The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that tood place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world’s most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.
Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”
The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.
Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughted up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.
注意:此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。

【2015年6月六級選詞填空重點詞彙彙總】
prosperity n. 繁榮，成功
displaced adj. 無家可歸的，被取代的
responsive adj. 響應的;應答的;回答的
sentiment n. 感情;情緒;情操
shrunk v. 收縮
swept v. 掃除
withdrawn n. 取出，撤退
productive adj. 能生產的，富有成效的
今年的選詞填空題仍舊是大家所熟悉的小短文的形式，題材也是大家熟悉的社會生活類文章，主要講的是創新帶來的各種影響。命題者考查的角度主要分爲以下幾個方面：
⑴固定搭配
the Industrial Revolution, hand weavers were ____aside by the mechanical loom.
這個句子考查的就是詞組的固定搭配了，這句話的含義是：在工業革命中，手織布工被紡織機_____.在後面這句話中，hand weavers是主語，were ____aside是謂語動詞，而且是表示被動的。所以填在橫線處的詞，既要是一個表示被動的詞，又要和aside構成詞組，且符合句子的含義。Swept是sweep的過去式，sweep aside表示“把...移到一邊”的含義。這句話講的是工業革命中，機器生產代替工場手工業，把手織布工取代，放到一邊的事情，所以swept是正確選項。
⑵上下文語境
the past years, the digital revolution has _____ many of the mid-skilled jobs that supported 20th-century middle class st, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.
這一段話主要講述了數字化革命代替了許多生產線上工人的工作。從這個語境可以看出，前面的一句話和後面是承接的關係，因爲並無轉折。在後面一句話中談到，打字員、訂票員和其他的生產線上的工人，都和手織布工一樣被取代了。由於兩句話之間是承接、並列的關係，那麼前面肯定也是說數字化革命取代了一些人的工作。所以，此處空格處缺的是一個動詞，和has一起構成謂語動詞，且表示“取代”的含義，在所有的已知詞彙中，只有displaced符合條件。
從上面的分析我們可以看出，備考大學英語六級不僅僅是背詞彙那麼簡單，在做題的時候除了必要的詞彙之外，我們還要有紮實的語法基本功，同時要學會融會貫通，靈活運用上下文的各種線索來幫助解題。只要平時一步一個腳印的穩紮穩打，文都英語老師相信，你們一定可以獲得這場戰爭的勝利!

【附】2015年6月六級翻譯(中國宴席)參考答案
The traditional hospitality of China requires that the banquet contains various dishes that the guests could not finish. The typical menu of Chinese banquet includes a set of cold dishes,which means that we can begin eating now, with the hot food followed, such as meat, chicken, ducks and vegetables. Whole fish is considered essential in most banquets, unless all kinds of seafood have been served. Chinese like to combine the western specialty with traditional Chinese dishes, so it is very common to see a lot of steak on the table. Despite the fact that, traditionally, Chinese don’t like to eat any raw cooking dishes, salads have also been popular. There are at least a kind of soup at the dinner, which can be served either at first or at last. Dessert and fruit are the sign that the dinner is come to the end.

2015年6月六級翻譯原文(中國城市化)：
2011年是中國城市化(urbanization)進程中的歷史性時刻，其城市人口首次超過農村人口。在未來20年裏，預計有3.5億農村人口將移居城市。如此規模的城市發展對城市交通來說既是挑戰，也是機遇。中國政府一直提倡“以人爲本”的發展理念，強調人們以公交而不是私家車出行。它還號召建設“資源節約和環境友好型”社會。有了這個明確的目標，中國城市就可以更好地規劃其發展，並把大量投資轉向安全、清潔和經濟型交通系統的發展上。
2015年6月六級翻譯參考答案
The 2011 is a historic moment in Chinese urbanization process, when the urban population surpassed the rural population for the first time. During the next 20 years, it is estimated that about 350 million rural population will move to cities. Such large-scale of urbanization is both a challenge and an opportunity to the urban traffic. The Chinese government has always been advocating “people-oriented” developing concept, emphasizing that people should travel by buses instead of by private cars. It also calls for the construction of “resource saving and environment friendly” society. With this explicit goal, China can have a better-planned urbanization process, and therefore divert more investment to the development of safe, clean and economical transportation system.
