2013年12月的六级考试是改革后第一次考试。对于认真准备本次考试的同学们来说，现在考试前面对未知的紧张感应该已经褪去，取而代之的是对考试成绩的希冀。下面仅以目前可见的其中一套真题对本次阅读选词填空和长篇阅读的题目进行简要分析，希望对今后同学们的备考有所帮助。
先来看看选词填空。本套试卷的选词填空选取了一篇教育话题的文章。教育话题属于高频话题。文章分析了让家庭成员在家中只说英语的一种第二语言学习方法及其依据和漏洞，表达了对该方法的质疑，论证了该方法的错误之处。作为整个阅读考试的第一部分，选词填空难度中等，基本与原四级选词填空难度一致。涉及的单词和搭配也大都是课堂上反复强调过的常考词汇，如表示"源自于"的"stem from"，表示"压倒性的"的"overwhelming" (stem from与come from，stem from，originate from同义，overwhelmed"不知所措的"，见强化班"选词填空单词精读")，表示"资产，财产"的"asset"（课堂上对常考表示"所有物，财产"含义的单词做过总结，包括asset，property，belonging，possession等）。当然，每次考试都有3个左右的难词，比如本次考试的"deviate"（脱离常轨），"simultaneously"（同时地），"successively"（接连地），可能对于单词量较贫乏的考生有较大干扰。15个单词中，考到名词3个，动词5个，形容词4个，副词3个，其中有不少词汇是多词性词义的，提醒今后的考生备考要更加注意对单词词性、搭配的掌握。考到的常见词性搭配有adj.+ n. , v.+ prep. , adv.+ adj., v.+ adj., art.+ n., 考到的语法现象有被动句，be动词用法等。选词填空考场上的目标分值是4道题过线，6道题优秀，相信按照上课说的先判断词性再判断词义的步骤，结合单词搭配和语法知识，同学们应该可以比较轻松完成考试目标分值。
原题如下：
Quite often, educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second language to speak only English, and not their native language, at home. Although these educators may have good (36) , their advice to families is misguided, and it (37) from misunderstandings about the process of language acquisition. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become (38) confused and thus their language development will be (39) ; this concern is not documented in the literature. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether (40) or sequentially(依次地). In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an (41) and even a necessity in many areas.
It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given primarily to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are (42) as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too (43) for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.
If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is (44) to telling them not to communicate with or interact with their children. Moreover, the (45) message is that the family's native language is not important or valued.
