听力原文：
There are a few differences in the organization of memorandums and letters. Memorandums
and letters differ somewhat in appearance. “To” and “From” replace a letter’s inside address
andsignatureblock， forexample.Further,lettersareusuallysentoutsidetheorganization，
while memorandums are usually internal messages. As internal messages, memorandums
tend to be more informal and more direct than their letter counterparts. One survey of 800
businesspeopleshowedtheyspentfrom21to38percentoftheirtimewritingmemorandums.
There must be a lot of executives overwhelmed by the number of memorandums they
淘宝店铺：https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ 店主旺旺6：慧园文化2014年12月大学英语六级考试真题(二)答案与详解
received. As a result, competition for the readers’ time places importance on directness and
clarity in memorandums, so perhaps even more so than with letters. Memorandum should
startwith the statement of the purpose early in the message. Memorandums also needspecial
visual treatment ： keep paragraphs short, much like newspaper articles. Computers
increasinglyaid mid andupperlevel managers whopreparetheir ownmemorandums without
secretarial help. If you prepare your own correspondence, realize the importance of dating
your messages. Knowing precisely when you recommended, ordered, signed or asked about
something often is crucial. Computers often can date information for you easily. Another
characteristic that can set memorandums apart from letters is the inclusion of humor. When
theinternalmessageislight-heartedandrelativelyunimportant,humorinamemorandumcan
distinguishitsauthorasapersonwithpersonalityanddepth.Aslongasthehumorisontarget,
doesnotembarrass others,isnotoverdone,andis nottoofrequent,itcanreflectpositivelyon
itsauthor.
答案详解：
16、C)。细节推断题【考频: ★★★】。短文开篇提到，备忘录和信函在组织结构方面有几
处不同，因此，讲话人是从比较备忘录与信函的不同开始讲起的。
17、D)。细节推断题【考频:★★★】。短文中提到，一个800人参与的调查显示商业人士
花21%到38%的时间书写备忘录，故D)“他们花很多时间写备忘录”为正确答案。
18、B)。事实细节题【考频: ★★★】。短文中提到阅读备忘录的人时间紧，因此备忘录书
写直接而明晰是非常重要的。所以讲话者认为“直接而且明晰”是书写备忘录最重要的注意
事项。
19、A)。语义理解题【考频: ★★☆】。短文最后提到，用诙谐的语言书写备忘录是备忘录
区别于信函的另一个特点。同时也提到只要幽默使用得当、不过分、不太频繁，就会给书写
者加分。

【预测】四个选项都是They开头的句子，且选项中nopleasureinthework,avoidwork,no
sense等词，由此推测本题可能与复数主语They消极的工作态度有关。
听力原文：
At school and at work, I have noticed that people have different kinds of work habits. Some
peopleare collaborators,who like to workin groups.They find thatdoing aprojectwith someone
else makes the job more pleasant and the load lighter.Collaborators never work alone unless they
are forced to. A second category I had noticed is the advice-seeker. An advice- seeker does the
bulk of her work alone, but frequently looks to others for advice. When this worker has raised a
crucial point in her project, she may show it to a classmate or a co-worker just to get another
opinion. Getting the advice of others makes this worker feel secure about her project as it takes
shape. Another type of worker I have noticed is the slacker. A slacker tries to avoid work
whenever possible. If he seems to be busy at the computer, he is probably playing a game online.
Andifheis writingbusily,he’sprobablymakinghisgrocerylist. Slackers willdoanythingexcept
the work they are paid to do. The final type of worker is the loner. This type of worker prefers
working alone. This type of worker has confidence in his ability, and is likely to feel that
collaboration is a waste of time. Loners work with others only when they are forced to.
Collaborators, advice-seekers, slackers and loners have different work styles, but each knows the
workhabitsthathelphimorhertogetthejobdone.
答案详解：
20、D)。细节推断题【考频:★★★】。短文中提到，如果不被强迫，协同工作者就不会单
独工作；同时也提到了单独工作者如果不被强迫，他们不会与他人合作，故D)“除非被强
迫，否则他们不会改变工作习惯”是两者的共同之处。
21、B)。细节推断题【考频:★★★】。短文中提到，寻求建议者需要向其他人寻求建议，
这样才能在工作中有安全感，也就是说他们缺乏工作中的自信;而单独工作者对于自己的能
力充满信心。由此可见，两者在自信方面有很大的不同。
22、B)。事实细节题【考频:★★★】。短文中明确提到，偷懒者只要有可能就会尽量逃避
工作。
PassageThree

NewYork in 1808. He was a carpenter and talented drummer. In 1834, he and his wife moved to
Saratoga Springs, NewYork, where they had three children. In 1841 , Northup met two men who
claimed to be from a circus. Because he needed the money, Northup agreed to join them as a
drummerinWashingtonD.C.OncetheyreachedWashington,however,themendrugged,chained,
robbed, and sold him to a slave trader. Northup was shipped south to New Orleans along with
other slaves, where he was sold in a slave market. He spent the next twelve years as a slave，
working for three masters. Northup worked hard and endured much cruelty, but he was always
looking for the chance to escape or contact his family and friends in NewYork. Finally in 1852 ,
Northup befriendedSamuel Bass, a Canadian carpenter.With his help, Northup sent a letter to his
friends in New York. Through the help of his friends, he regained his freedom in 1853. Northup
returned to New York, where he was finally reunited with his family. Northup has many
descendants, who gathered together in Saratoga Springs on July 24, 1999 . for a tribute to their
ancestor. The town of Saratoga Springs declared July 24 Solomon Northup Day to remember the
