book named“How To DoWell In School Without Studying”，and the woman suggests looking for it in the fiction section.Apparently,thecartoon demonstrates,a truth that there is no such a thing as a shortcut to learning.Just as we cannot build a castle in the air,neither can we perform well in school through a shortcut.First ofail,the nature of study requires it to be based on a solid foundation.Lets take English learning as an example.Ifwe want to improve our English listening ability,we are required to keep on listening to different materials,bothintensively and extensively,and make notes from time to time.In addition.we are all very familiar with thefamous proverb No pains,no gains”,which conveys the message that we are supposed to make strenuous effortswhenever we attempt to succeed in a certain field.Therefore，we should spend a certain amount of time learningand remembering the basic knowledge which lays the foundation for further study rather than search for theso-called shortcut.To sum up,students should come to realize that there exists no shortcut to learning.Only hard work will formthe bedrock of good performance in school.PartListening Comprehension1.听力原文：W：Oh,heres a piece

月大学英语六级考试真题(二)答案与详解7somewhat in appearance.“To”and“From”replace a letters inside address and signature block，for example.Further,letters are usually sent outside the organization，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 business people showed they spent from 21 to 38 percent of their time writingmemorandums.There must be a lot of executives overwhelmed by the number of memorandums theyreceived.As a result,competition for the readerstime places importance on directness and clarity inmemorandums,so perhaps even more so than with letters.Memorandum should start with the statement ofthe purpose early in the message.Memorandums also need special visual treatment：keep paragraphs short,much like newspaper articles.Computers increasingly aid mid and upper level managers who prepare theirown memorandums without secretarial help.If you prepare your own correspondence,realize the importanceof dating your messages.Knowing precisely when you recommended,ordered,signed or asked aboutsomething often is crucial.Computers often can date information for you easily.Another characteristic thatcan set memorandums apart from letters is the inclusion of humor.When the internal message is light-heartedand relatively unimportant,humor in a memorandum can distinguish its author as a person with personalityand depth.As long as the humor is on target,does not embarrass others,is not overdone,and is not toofrequent,it can reflect positively on its author.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。Passage Two20、What do collaborators and loners have in common?A)They give top priority to their work efficiency.B)They make an effort to lighten their workload.C)They try hard to mak
