4、 the strong will and diligence towards the right direction,youll be the one!【作文解析】这是一篇议论文。作者首先提出问题”what is success?”,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：success is doing something one really feels like doing.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：Success is something every

6、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。整体看，文章在语言表达和立意上还不错。但在文章结构上有些松散，有待提高。【高分版】The Way to Success First essaystream of thought typeThe Way to SuccessGenius is one percent inspiration and ni

10、试作文题为 The way to success，与本次四级考试作文 Nothing succeeds without a strong will 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
11、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。第三段，作者进一步阐释“仅有坚强的意志，没有实在的努力，也能成功吗？”同样是先发问，然后举了爱迪生的事例，来证明答案是否定的。举名人的例子，而非个人的实例来作为文章的论据才更有说服力，这也是这篇作文的高明之处。最后一段，作者先以第一句话进行了总结，然后为了加强作文结尾的力度，作者还对名言“Where there is awill,there is way”进行了改编，换成了自己的观点，为我所用，这也是本篇范文的一个两点之处。注意，写作文时对名言进行恰当地改编，不仅能体现幽默创新的一面，同样也体现了作者不错的文字驾驭技巧

41、mail-order outlets.But we have a shophere in central London plus a mail-order outlet.And we are without any doubt the largest supplier of theleft-handed items.【材料评析】这是一篇采访一名专为左撇子们提供产品的供应商的文章。文中分别谈到了创业理念的来源、产业如何创始、产业日前发展状况以及这家产品供应商所面对的行业现状。具体细节为：创业理念开始于一名名叫Gruby 的退休印刷工，他本人是一名左撇子，所以想到找生产商帮他实现自己所想的专门为左
42、撇子设计产品的理念。而这家供应商目前面对的行业现状为：市面上已有的左撇子产品比最初创业之时，增加了许多；店铺：快淘好货店铺：快淘好货全国英语六级历年真题6/13但销售渠道来源主要是网络订单。而这些，并不对这家供应商公司构成竞争威胁，因为他们在伦敦有门店和网络销售的双重渠道。因此他们是这种左撇子产品的最大供应商。本篇文章为考查细节信息抓取能力题。难度较大主要因为考生可能对产品制造加工行业涉及到的manufacture、stock、mail-order outlet、supplier 等专业术语不太熟悉，而形成困扰。但考生只要能听出这是一篇采访类型的文章，每次都能听到女士（采访者）的问题非常简短，
43、应该立即警惕答案应该是针对男士（被访者）的回答提问。而女士（采访者）的问题中本身就已经暗示出接下来的回答中的关键词。如：女士问的“And whats the range of your stock?”一句中，stock 即为关键信息词。因此，这篇文章同时也提醒考生平时应该注意商务用语和商业常识方面的积累。Q19:What kind of business does the man engaged in?Q20:What does the man say about his stock of products?Q21:What does the man say about other peopl
44、e in his line of business?Conversation TwoM:Can we make you an offer?We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks.W:Well,can we summarize the problem from my point of view?First of all,the campaign was late.It missed twoimportant trade affairs.The ads also did not appear into key magazines
45、.As a result,the campaign failed.Do youaccept that summary of what happened?M:Well,the delay wasnt entirely our fault.You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of theadvertisements.W:Uh,actually,you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time and in fact,we only a

47、uld we suggest a 20%reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign.W:We are not happy.We lost business.M:I think we both made mistakes.The responsibility is on both sides.W:Ok,lets suggest a new solution.How about a 40%cut in fee,or a free repeat campaign?M:Well,lets tak
48、e a break,were not getting very far.Perhaps we should think about this.【材料评析】这篇对话是围绕一次商业活动的推广是否延期和如何收费的讨论。对话中，女士否决了延期四周这个提议。理由是这次的活动已经错过了两个重要的商业活动事件，而且也没有在重要杂志上打广告。而男士则坚持要求延期，并表示：活动被耽搁的原因是女士所在公司没有及时给出对广告的修改。而男士认为是女士所在公司提交细节修改建议太晚而导致耽搁。女士坚持无需延期，且不应延期，而应定为活动失败。因此，女士向男士的公司提出降低收费或者明年免费为她们公司做活动的要求。最后，男士提
49、出延期四周并给出20%的降价。可惜女士仍然要求更低的 40%的降价和下一期的免费活动推广。而男士提出还需再议。显然，他对此提议并不表示赞同。这篇文章总体不难，考查文章大意。而文章本身围绕是否延期和如何收费这个中心讨论点展开，没有较生僻的词汇。但值得注意的是，考生需要通过对话推知谈话者的身份，并对说话者的语气和话外音所包含的内容有所把握。另外，这是一篇在真实的商务谈判场景中会经常出现的状况。考生注意平时对商业和商务常识方面的知识积累，会对把握整个听力对话的大意很有帮助。22:What do we learn about the mans company?23:Why was the campai
