一?试卷结构
六级的试卷结构?测试内容?测试题型?分值比例和考试时间如下表所示:
二?新题型说明
跟以往的六级考试比起来,新的六级考试有以下几个变化:
单词及词组听写

.翻译
原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英?翻译内容涉及中国的历史?文化?经济?社会发展等?题材长度为 180~ 200个汉字?接下来我们分别从题型分析和应试技巧等角度来讲解复合式听写?长篇阅读及翻译这三种新题型?
一复合式听写
题型分析
六级中听写部分的考查形式为 Compound Dictation复合式听写?改革前复合式听写要求考生根据录音写出 8个单词和 3个完整句子,改革后的题型变为写出 10个单词或词组?复合式听写的全文内容约 250词,共朗读 3遍?下面我们就从单词和词组两个方面来分析一下复合式听写的设题点?
1.单词
单词听写部分主要考查对单词语音的辨别能力?拼写能力,以及对时态?语态等的辨识能力?在考查上有以下特点:
1词的单复数和所有格
名词单复数和所有格需要仔细听,另外,需要考生根据上下文判断其形式?
2动词时态
动词时态主要有第三人称单数 -s或 -es;现在进行时或过去进行时 -ing,要注意是否需要去掉词尾不发音的字母 e或双写尾字母,以及不规则动词的过去式和过去分词的拼写?在听的过程中,也可以参考上下文来判断动词的形式?
3考查实词
在听写部分,主要考查实词,包括名词?动词?形容词和副词,不考虚词?
2.词组
1词组时态
在复合式听写的过程中要注意词组的时态,考生可以根据上下文语境对词组时态作出判断,这样在听写过程中就不容易出错了?
2词组类型
复合式听写考查的词组类型有动词词组?介词词组?名词词组?固定搭配等,如 figuring things out,interacting with,trying it out等?
应试技巧
1.积极预测
听写部分所提供的文字信息往往比所要填入的信息多得多,利用这些已知信息去预测未知信息,可以大大提高填词的针对性,减少盲目性,争取主动?具体来讲,利用播放题目介绍的时间快速抢读已给出的文字,了解文章的大致内容,同时预测空格处所填文字的词性和可能的意义?
There was a time when any personal information that was gathered about us was typed on a piece of paper and 36 _____ away in a file cabinet.
【分析】本句是文章第一段?根据空格前的 and,可以判断该空与前边的动词是并列关系?另外根据上下文可知这句话大概的意思为“曾经有一段时间,任何关于我们的个人信息都会被收集起来打印到一张纸上然后 _____档案柜里”?空格内所填内容应该与放进?放入等词有关?这样在听录音的时候就可以缩小范围,听到 locked一词就可以立刻印证之前的猜测?注意 and之前的 type是过去分词,因此空处也要填 lock的过去分词?
2.听写结合,双管齐下
录音正式开始播放后,仔细听每个句子,并努力把握全文大意?在播放第二遍时,将注意力集中在空格部分,迅速听记 边听?边复述?边理解?边记录 ?在听写过程中,如果遇到不会的单词,可以先把读音记下,继续进行下面的内容,以免影响后面的听写?
3.重视第三遍朗读,检查?核对内容要点
在第三遍朗读时,考生要仔细检查,注意拼写?大小写,以及动词的各种形式变化等,还要注意主谓一致等语法问题;对于没有填上的词,应结合上下文信息尽量回忆和辨别,最好不要空着?
二长篇阅读
题型分析
改革后的六级题型在测试考生阅读能力方面变得更加多样化,对考生的阅读能力提出了更高的要求?六级旧题型的阅读理解部分主要考查考生的速读能力,即在 35分钟之内完成词汇理解?快速阅读和仔细阅读?改革后,快速阅读改为长篇阅读,篇章长度和难度不变,时间由原来的 35分钟变成 40分钟?
2013年 12月之前,快速阅读的考查形式为:前 7道为选择题,后 3道为填空题?而 2013年 12月改革后的长篇阅读考查形式为:篇章后附有 10个句子,每句一题;每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落,要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落;有的段落可能对应两题,有的段落可能不对应任何一题?
2013年 8月全国大学英语四?六级考试委员公布的六级考试样题中,长篇阅读理解部分是一篇长度为 1238词的文章?下面,我们先分析一下六级考试样题中的长篇阅读理解题?

Into the Unknown
The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope?
[A] Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable.
[B] For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare.
[C] Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more is known about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied. International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports. Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATO summits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensions and health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year. The media, including this newspaper, are giving the subject extensive coverage.
[D]. Whetherallthatattentionhastranslatedintosufficientactionisanotherquestion. Governmentsinrich
countries now accept that their pension and health-care promises will soon become unaffordable, and many of them have embarked on reforms, but so far only timidly. That is not surprising: politicians with an eye on the next election will hardly rush to introduce unpopular measures that may not bear fruit for years, perhaps decades.
[E] The outline of the changes needed is clear. To avoid fiscal财政的 meltdown, public pensions and health-care provision will have to be reined back severely and taxes may have to go up. By far the most effective method to restrain pension spending is to give people the opportunity to work longer, because it increases tax revenues and reduces spending on pensions at the same time. It may even keep them alive longer. John Rother, the AARP’s head of policy and strategy, points to studies
showing that other things being equal, people who remain at work have lower death rates than their
retired peers.
