Leading stress management experts say that without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today’s stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today’s hectic, fast-paced world and with the blooming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand,physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”. The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”. Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backache, or insomnia. That’s why when stress occurs it’s important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way. While it’s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize is impact when it can’t be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical ActivityWhen you’re nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your StressIt helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positiveperspective on what’s troubling you. It you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of YourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you’re irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you’re not eating properly, you’ll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for YourselfSchedule time for both work and reaction. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to DoStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and CryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet SceneYou can’t always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”. A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-MedicationWhile you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.RelaxThe best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:--You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.--You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.--You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.--You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the "art" of relaxation, you’ll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。

英语六级考试模拟试题集与解析

英语六级考试模拟试题集与解析一. 试题集Part I: Reading Comprehension (共20题)Directions: In this part, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements. Each passage is followed by four alternative answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Humans have long recognized that certain animals are remarkable problem solvers. They are able to find their way across vast distances in unfamiliar territories, use tools to obtain food, and even recognize themselves in a mirror. Apart from humans, however, no animals can communicate detailed information about their experience through language.To better understand how animals communicate, researchers have started investigating the vocal signals of non-human primates. Surprisingly, they found that some primate species can combine different signals to create new meaning. For example, they can produce a sequence of alarm calls to indicate the type of predator and even the direction in which it is approaching. This discovery challenges the belief that only humans possess the ability to create new meaning through language.In addition to vocal signals, non-human primates also use body language for communication purposes. Gestures such as pointing and beckoning canconvey information efficiently, especially when other individuals are unable to see the object of interest. Furthermore, some researchers argue that syntax (语法) may exist in non-human primate communication. Observations have shown that certain gestures are combined in a specific order, suggesting that the arrangement of signals follows a certain logical pattern.These findings are crucial in understanding the evolution of language in our species. By examining communication systems in other animals, we can gain insights into how our own language abilities developed over time. Moreover, the study of non-human primate communication highlights the importance of animal welfare, as it reminds us that these creatures possess complex social systems and cognitive abilities that warrant our consideration and protection.1. What is the main topic of this passage?A. Animals' ability to communicate through language.B. Humans' ability to create new meaning through language.C. The evolution of language in non-human primates.D. Communication systems in other animals.2. What has been discovered about non-human primates' vocal signals?A. They can communicate detailed information about their experience.B. They can use tools to obtain food and recognize themselves in a mirror.C. They can use alarm calls to indicate predators' types and directions.D. They can combine different signals to create new meaning.3. What is mentioned as a form of non-verbal communication for non-human primates?A. Vocal signals.B. Body language.C. Tool use.D. Mirror recognition.4. What is speculated to exist in non-human primate communication?A. Vocabulary.B. Syntax.C. Grammar.D. Semantics.5. What is the significance of studying communication in non-human primates?A. Understanding the evolution of language in humans.B. Obtaining strategies for protecting animals' welfare.C. Identifying the logical patterns in animal communication.D. Recognizing animals' complex social systems and cognitive abilities.Part II: Writing (共2题)假设你是李华，通过某中介机构得知有一份兼职工作，需要一名英语流利、有较强沟通能力的大学生。

Eachchoice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter foreach item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may notuse any of the words in the bank more than once.To understand why we should be concerned about how young people read, it helps to know something about the way the ability to read evolved. Unlike the ability to understand and produce spoken language, the ability to read must be painstakingly 26 by each individual. The “reading circuits” we construct in the brain can be 27 or they can be robust, depending on how often and how 28 we use them.The deep reader enters a state of hypnotic trance(心醉神迷的状态). When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the pace of their reading 29 slows. The combination of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with reflection and analysis. It gives them time to establish an 30 relationship with the author, the two of them 31 in a long and warm conversation like people falling in love.This is not reading as many young people know it. Their reading is instrumental: the difference between what literary critic Frank Kermode calls “carnal (肉体的) reading” and “spiritual reading.” If we allow our offspring to believe carnal reading is all there is —if we don’t open the door to spiritual reading, through an early 32 on discipline and practice — we will have 33 them of an enjoyable experience they would not otherwise encounter. Observing young people’s34 to digital devices, some progressive educators talk about “meeting kids where they are,” molding instruction around their onscreen habits. This is mistaken. We need,Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph morethan once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by markingthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Space Tourism[A] Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA), Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world’s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttle worth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.[B] Lance Bass of ’N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.[C] These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.[D] In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.Space Accommodations[E] Russia’s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.[F] The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001. Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia’s cosmonaut(宇航员) training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC’s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.[G] Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space: Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure (基础结构)” that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth’s.[H] According to their vision statement, Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousands ofpeople in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and aboard dozens of different vehicles...” Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and the possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.[I] Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won’t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. How ever, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.[J] In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function normally within the structure. Everything from running water to recycling plant to medical facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.[K] Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?The most Expensive Vacation[L] Will space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, gong to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload (有效载重) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth’s orbit.[M] NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to orbit launch space plane, called the Venture Star that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. If the Venture Star takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.[N] In 1998, a joint report form NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that at a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year. While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.[O] Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn’t that great —when do I get to go?” Well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angeles.36. Hilton Hotels believes it won’t belong before it is possible to build space hotel.37. Each year 500,000 space tourists could be flying into space if ticket prices could be lowered to$50,000.38. The space agencies are reluctant to open up space to tourists.39. In order for space tourists to walk around and function normally, it is necessary for the spacecity to create a small gravitational pull.40. Within the next two decades, space travel could be as common as intercity air travel.41. Lance Bass wasn’t able to go on a tour of space because he did not pay enough money.42. In one project, people planned create a space city 400 miles above Earth.43. What makes going to space the most Expensive Vacation is the enormous cost involved in the fuel of spacecraft.44. Several tourism companies believe space travel is going to be a new profitable industry.45. The prize for the winner in the fall 2001 NBC TV game show would have been a trip to theMir Space Station.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it’s just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.46. According to the passage, the author believes that ______.A) people used to question the value of college educationB) people used to have full confidence in higher educationC) all high school graduates went to collegeD) very few high school graduates chose to go to college47. In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don’t fit the pattern" refers to ______.A) high school graduates who aren’t suitable for college educationB) college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC) college students who aren’t any better for their higher educationD) high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college48. The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because ______.A) young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at collegeB) many young people are required to join the armyC) young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education,D) young people don’t like the intense competition for admission to graduate school49. According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that______.A) society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduatesB) high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC) too many students have to earn their own livingD) college administrators encourage students to drop out50. In this passage the author argues that ______.A) more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for highschool graduatesB) college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC) college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning peopleD) intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to collegePassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch (键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向……透露) the company that was being robbed.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled(耍弄) the most confidential records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.51. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutionsC) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request of their company52. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A) many more computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck53. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.54. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to confidential records.C) They may walk away and easily find another job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.55. The passage is mainly about ______.A) why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspectionB) why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentC) how computer criminals manage to get good recommendations from their formeremployersD) why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPart IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.“中国梦”几千年的中国文化充实着中国梦(the Chinese dream)，同时，过去三十几年的改革开放(reform and opening-up) 也激励着中国梦。

Passage 1It is estimated that by the end of this century, Asian Americans, numbering well over 12 million, will constitute the largest and fastest-growing racial minority in the United States. Despite their increasing numbers, Asian Americans are often depicted as a silent and invisible minority in mainstream American society. This stereotype, however, is a gross misrepresentation of the Asian American population.Asian Americans are a diverse group, originating from over 40 different countries in Asia, each with their own unique culture, language, and history. Yet, they share certain common experiences in their immigration journey to the United States. Many Asian Americans have faced challenges in adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and finding employment. However, they have also made significant contributions to American society in various fields, including academia, business, technology, and the arts.In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of Asian Americans in shaping American culture and society. This has led to increased representation of Asian Americans in the media, with films such as "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Minari" gaining critical acclaim and commercial success. Additionally, Asian American activists and organizations have been advocating for greater recognition and respect for their community.The future of Asian Americans in the United States is promising. As their population continues to grow, so does their influence and impact on American society. It is crucial for the mainstream society to recognize and appreciate the rich diversity and contributions of Asian Americans.2. Passage 2Money plays a significant role in our daily lives, and financial literacy is essential for personal financial well-being. However, many young people lack the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage their finances. This has led to widespread financial problems, such as debt, poor credit scores, and limited savings.To address this issue, financial education should be integrated into school curriculums from an early age. By teaching children about concepts like budgeting, saving, and investing, they can develop good financial habits and make informed financial decisions in the future. Financial literacy courses can also cover topics like student loans, credit cards, and taxes, which are relevant to young adults entering the workforce.In addition to formal education, parents and guardians can also play a crucial role in teaching their children about money. By involving children in discussions about family finances, budgeting, and saving, parents can instill responsible financial behaviors from a young age. It is important for parents to lead by example and demonstrate healthy financial habits themselves.Furthermore, access to financial resources and tools should be made readily available to young people. This can include online resources, mobile applications, and financial counseling services. By providing accessible anduser-friendly platforms, young individuals can easily access information and tools to manage their finances effectively.In conclusion, improving financial literacy among young people is essential for their long-term financial well-being. By integrating financial education into schools, involving parents in teaching, and providing accessible resources, we can empower young individuals to make informed financial decisions and build a secure financial future.3. Passage 3Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. Its impacts are already being felt around the world, from extreme weather events to rising sea levels. In order to mitigate and adapt to climate change, collective action is needed from individuals, governments, and businesses.Individuals can make a difference by adopting sustainable practices in their daily lives. This can include reducing energy consumption, recycling, using public transportation, and supporting businesses that prioritize environmental sustainability. Small changes in individual behavior, when multiplied on a global scale, can have a significant impact in reducing carbon emissions and preserving natural resources.Governments play a crucial role in addressing climate change through policy measures and regulations. They can implement renewable energy targets, impose carbon taxes, and promote sustainable transportation. Additionally, governments can provide incentives for businesses and individuals to transition to more sustainable practices.Businesses have the power to drive significant change and innovation in combating climate change. By adopting sustainable practices and investing in renewable energy, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a greener economy. Many businesses have also recognized the economic opportunities of the green market and are transitioning towards sustainable business models.Collaboration and international cooperation are also essential in tackling climate change. Global agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, provide a framework for countries to work together in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. International efforts are needed to develop and share technologies, knowledge, and best practices for a sustainable future.In conclusion, addressing climate change requires collective action from individuals, governments, and businesses. By adopting sustainable practices, implementing effective policies, and fostering international cooperation, we can mitigate the impacts of climate change and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.。

Digital AgeWomen in 2011 made no significant gains in winning more top US business jobs, according to a study, but the head ofthe study said women are poised to make 36 in the year ahead.The number of women who were board directors, corporate officers or top earners at Fortune 500 companies remained 37 unchanged, said the study by Catalyst, a nonprofit group that 38 opportunities for women in business.The percentage of companies with women on the board of directors was 15.1 percent this year, compared with 14.8 percent in 2010, Catalyst said.Also, the percentage of corporate officer positions 39 by women was 15.7 percent in 2011 and 15.4 percent in 2010, it said. The percentage of top earners in 2011 who were women was 6.2 percent, compared to 6.7 percent in 2010, it said.The research on the Fortune 500 companies was 40 on data as of March 31, 2011. The slight changes in the numbers are not considered 41 significant, Catalyst said.Nevertheless, given the changes in U.S. politics, thefuture for women in business looks more 42 , said Ilene Lang,president and chief executive 43 of Catalyst."Overall we're 44 to see change next year," Lang said."When we look at shareholders, decision makers, thegeneral public, they're looking for change. ""What they're basically saying is, ' Don't give us 45 ofthe status quo ( 现状 ). Get new ideas in there, get some freshfaces,'" she said.A. officerB. changesC. basedD. positionsE. moreF. promisingG. businesslikeH. surveyingI. essentiallyJ. stridesK. promotesL. statisticallyM. confused N. held O. expectingHow Marketers Target KidsA.Kids represent an important demographic to marketersbecause they have their own purchasing power, they influencetheir parents' buying decisions and they are the adultconsumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising tochildren has exploded in the past decade, increasing from amere $100 millidn in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.B. Parents today are willing to buy more for their kidsbecause trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes andpostponing children until later in life mean that familieshave more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a rolein spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitutematerial goods for time spent with their kids. Here are someof the strategies marketers employ to target kids：Pester (纠缠) PowerC. Today's kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations,so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. "Pester power" refers to children's abilityto nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.D. According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kid fluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories--"persistence" and "importance". Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is notas effective as the more sophisticated "importance nagging". This latter method appeals to parents' desire to provide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingE. To effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about children's developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that analyzes children's behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.F. The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U.S. mental health professionals issued a public letter tothe American Psychological Association (APA) urging them todeclare the practice unethical. The APA is currentlystudying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyG. Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of "brand" marketing in her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind ofcorporation--Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name afew--which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the worldhas seen.H.Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothing companies have been cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingI. The challenge for marketers is to cut through theintense advertising clutter(凌乱) in young people's lives.Many companies are using "buzz marketing" --a new twist onthe tried-and-true "word of mouth" method. The idea is tofind the coolest kids in a community and have them use orwear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz,or "street marketing", as it's also called, can help acompany to successfully connect with the elusive (难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products"cool" status.J. Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to theInteract, where young "Net promoters" use chat roomsand blogs to spread the word about music, clothes andother products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationK. School used to be a place where children wereprotected from the advertising and consumer messages thatpermeated their world--but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空，差额 ) are forcing school boards to allow corporationsaccess to students in exchange for badly needed cash,computers and educational materials.L. Corporations realize the power of the schoolenvironment for promoting their name and products. A schoolsetting delivers a captive youth audience and implies theendorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketersare eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways,including ： 1 ) sponsored educational materials; 2) supplyingschools with technology in exchange for high company visibility;3) advertising posted in classrooms, school buses,on computers in exchange for funds; 4) contests and incentive programs： for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizzaif they achieve a monthly reading goal; 5 ) sponsoring school events.The InternetM. The Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It's part of youth culture.This generation of young people is growing up with the Interactas a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, which have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Interact is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to Kids N . Children are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant forolder audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.O.The FTC studied 44 films rated "Restricted", and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under17.Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based oncharacters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on "Restricted" movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.Guilt can affect parents' spending decisions becausethey don't have enough time for their kids.47、The Center for a New American Dream pointed out that brand loyalties could be formed as early as age two.48、School boards allow corporations to access to students because they need money and educational materials badly.49、The FTC report highlighted the fact that toys basedon characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children.50、For this generation of young people, the Internet isa daily and routine part of their lives.51、According to Kid fluence, "persistence nagging" isless effective than the more sophisticated "importance nagging".52、According to a report released by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the movie, music and video games industries usually market violent entertainment to young children.53、Buzz marketing is well-suited to the Internet because the interactive environment can spread messages effectively.54、A group of U.S. mental health professionals thinkthat it is unethical to use child psychologists to helpmarketers target kids.55、According to the Pizza Hut reading incentives program, children will receive certificates for free pizza if theyachieve a monthly reading goal.Like most people, I've long understood that I will bejudged by my occupation, that my profession is a gaugepeople use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I'm treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid toserve food to people, I had customers say and do things tome I suspect they'd never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phonewaved me away, then beckoned ( 表示 ) me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I'd been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like apeon ( 勤杂工 ) by plenty of people. But at 19years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to medifferently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I'd be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyonewho called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--cordially.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It's no secret that there's a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry,by definition, exists to cater to others' needs. Still, itseemed that many of my customers didn't get the difference between server and servant. I'm now applying to graduate school, which means someday I'll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want.I think I'll take them to dinner first, and see how theytreat someone whose only job is to serve them.The author was disappointed to find that _______.A.one's position is used as a gauge to measureone's intelligenceB.talented people like her should fail to geta respectable jobC.one's occupation affects the way one is treated asa personD.professionals tend to look down upon manual workers57、What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?A.Some customers simply show no respect to thosewho serve them.B.People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.C.Waitresses are often treated by customers ascasual acquaintances.D.Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all.58、 How did the author feel when waiting tables at theage of 19?A.She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servantby professionals.B.She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded heras a peon.C.She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.D.She found it natural for professionals to treat heras inferior.59、What does the author imply by saying "... many of my customers didn't get the difference between server and servant" ( Line 3, Para. 7)?A.Those who cater to others' needs are destined to be looked down upon.B.Those working in the service industry shouldn't be treated as servants.C.Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.D.The majority of customers tend to look on a servantas a server nowadays.60、The author says she'll one day take her clients to dinner in order to ________A.see what kind of person they areB.experience the feeling of being servedC.show her generosity towards people inferior to herD.arouse their sympathy for people living a humble life61、依据以下短文，回答 {TSE}题。

He told the man to rest for a few days and made the other sailors do his work.Three days later another sailor pretended that he had something wrong with his chest.Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told“sick”man to have a rest.The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do.The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the captain was not looking.At last the mate(船长副手) decided to cure the“sick”men.He mixed up some soap,soot(烟灰),glue(胶水)and other unpleasant things.Then he obtained permission from the captain to give his medicine to the “sick”men.When they tasted the medicine,they really did feel ill.It was so horrible that one of the patients jumped out of hi bunk,ran up on desk and climbed the highest mast on the ship. He did not want any more medicine.The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour,night and day.This soon cured them.They both said they felt better and wanted to start word again.The captain realized that the men tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.1.The first sailor pretended to be ill because he wanted to.A.test the captain’s knowledge of medicineB.be free from workC.have the best food on the shipD.play a joke on his friends2.When the captain knew a sailor was ill,he.A.didn’t care muchB.sent for a doctorC.looked after him and told him to have a restD.gave him some medicine3.The patients felt better quickly because.A.they had been given proper medicineB.they learned that the captain had found out the truthC.they were laughed at by their friendsD.the medicine the mate gave was horrible4.When the captain knew he had been deceived,he.A.told them not to do so againB.lost his temperC.made them work harderD.fired them5.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A.A sudden Cure.B.Two Patients.C.Captain and Sailors.D.A Difficult Voyage.正确答案：BCDCA2.Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago,it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold.The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later.The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes,one of which was making pots and pans.Aluminum is lightweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different forms.By mixing it with other metals,scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys,some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.Today,the uses of aluminum are innumerable.Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles,in the hulls of boats.It is also used in many parts of airplanes.In fact,the huge“airbus”planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist.By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them,Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.Since aluminum is such a versatile(多用的)metal,it is fortunate that bauxite(铝土矿),which is one of its chief sources,is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances.As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible,we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.6.The price of aluminum was sharply reduced when people discovered a new refining process with the aid of.A.windB.solar energyC.hydraulic powerD.electricity7.Aluminum is.A.lightweight,rustproof but not easily shaped into different formsB.heavyweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different formsC.lightweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different formsD.lightweight and easily shaped into different forms but it is easy to become rusty8.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Aluminum is widely used in transportation.B.Aluminum is also used in many parts of airplanes.C.Aluminum is being used extensively in the building industry.D.Aluminum is not used in its pure form.9.Aluminum is found on earth mostly in the form of.A.pure metalB.bauxiteC.goldD.liquid10.What is the passage talking about?A.The features of aluminum and its functions.B.The process of aluminum.C.The discovery of aluminum.D.The promising future of aluminum.正确答案：DCDBA3.Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in1907.two years later a woman,Mrs.John Bruce Dodd,in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father.Her mother died when she was very young,and her father brought her up.She loved her father very much.In response to Mrs.Dodd’s idea that same year—1909,the state governor of Washington proclaimed(宣布)the third Sunday in June Father’s Day.The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in1916.in1924,President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion“to establish more intimate(亲密)relations between fathers and their children,and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.”The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day,but as the idea grained popularity,tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities.They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents,such as a tie or pair of socks,as well as by sending greeting cards.During the Second World War,American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home.This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day,it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America. Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day.Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents.But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries,who have not even a day for their sake in name only.11.When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?A.1907B.1909C.1916D.192412.Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?A.Mrs.John Bruce DoddB.Mrs.John Bruce’s MotherC.The government of Washington.D.Some businessmen.13.What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?A.LilyB.Water LilyC.Red rose or white roseD.Sunflower.14.Which statement is true,a according to this passage?A.It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.B.The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.C.Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.D.Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.15.What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?A.They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.B.They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.C.They just thought it a joke.D.They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.正确答案：DACBD4.Passage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage:Culture shock is an occupational disease(职业病)for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse.Those signs are as following:when to shake hands and what to say when meet people,when and how to give tips,how to make purchases,when to accept and refuse invitations,when to take statements seriously and when not.These signs,which may be words, gestures,facial expressions,or customs,are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept.All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency,but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture,all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you,followed by a feeling of frustration.When suffering from culture shock people first

intelligence 64he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what65to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought66.If an individual is handicapped(受阻碍)67,it is likely that

英语六级模拟训练题一（附答案及解析）

英语六级模拟训练题一（附答案及解析）Model T est 1Part ⅠWritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled To Curb Spending? Y ou should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 现在许多大学生花钱大手大脚2. 有人认为社会整体生活水平提高了，大学生花钱多一些无可厚非3. 你的看法Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)How Marketers T arget KidsKids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influence their parents’ buying decisions and they are the adult con sumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids. Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:Pester（纠缠）PowerToday’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their paren ts tobuy. “Pester power” refers to children’s ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories—“persistence” and “importance.” Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophisticated “importance nagging.” This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to provide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingTo effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about c hildren’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that anal yzes children’s behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U.S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyCanadi an author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of “brand” marketing in her 2000 book No Logo.According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein,Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothing companies have een cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingThe challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter ( 杂乱) in young people’s lives. Many companies are using “buzz marketing” —a new twist on the tried-and-true “word of mouth” method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or “street marketing,” as it’s also call ed, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive ( 难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products “cool” status.Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet,where young “Net promoters” use chat rooms and blogs t o spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationSchool used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空，差额) are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products.A school setting delivers a captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including:●Sponsored educational materials.●Supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility.●Advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds.●Contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.●Sponsoring school events.The InternetThe Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of y outh culture. This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, whichhave codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to KidsChildren are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.The FTC st udied 44 films rated “Restricted,” and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching.The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on “Restricted” movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.1. Guilt can play a role in parents’ spending decisions because _________.A) they don’t earn as much money as beforeB) they don’t have enough time for their kidsC) they postpone children until later in lifeD) they think time is more precious than money2.

One is defined by what is paid out, the other by what is paid in.The first is called a defined (37) plan, or pension. It provides set (38) based on the number of years an (39) has worked. These plans often pay for health care and other costs. They might also provide money to family members when the (40) dies.Pensions, however, can be a big cost to employers. In the United States, the change from a (41) economy to a service economy has resulted in fewer and fewer (42) plans.The other major kind of retirement plan is called a defined (43) plan. Two things define how much a worker will get at retirement. (44)One popular version is a four-oh-one-k plan, named after a part of the tax law. (45)But some plans are very complex. An easier way for small employers to offer retirement savings is through a Savings Incentive Match Plan. (46) .Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section ABy the mid-nineteenth century, the term "icebox" had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns (酒馆), and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh moat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half of the ice sold in New Y ork, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modem fridge, had been invented.Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary (未发展的). The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping up the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doingits job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.But as early as 1803, and ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-poundbricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer travel to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.47. What is the topic of the passage?_________48. Where was ice used after the Civil War? _________49. What was essential to a science of refrigeration according to the passage?_________50. It can be inferred from the passage that the theoretical foundation of ice box should be that ______.51. Without an ice box, farmers had to go to the market at night because ______.Section B Passage OneRacket, din clamor, noise. Whatever you want to call it, unwanted sound is America's most widespread nuisance. But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health. Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closesand the body still responds--sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night.The annoyance we feel when Paced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability is so apparent, legislators have made public annoyance the basis of many noise abatement (消除) programs. The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention. Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health.Of the many health hazards related to noise, heating loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have serious consequences for those already ill in mind or body.Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest.Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhapsit is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modem world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.52. The phrase "immune to" (Line 3, Para. 1) are used to mean ______.[A] unaffected by [B] hurt by [C] unlikely to be seen by [D] unknown by53. The author's attitude toward noise would best be described as ______.[A] unrealistic [B] traditional [C] concerned [D] hysterical54. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?[A] Noise is a major problem; most people recognize its importance.[B] Although noise can be annoying, it is not a major problem.[C] Noise is a major problem and has not yet been recognized as such.[D] Noise is a major problem about which nothing can be done.55. The author condemns noise essentially because it ______.[A] is against the law [B] can make some people irritable [C] is a nuisance [D] is a danger to people's health56. The author would probably consider research about the effects noise has on people to be ______.[A] unimportant [B] impossible [C] a waste of money [D] essentialPassage T woFreshwater life itself has never come easy in the Middle East. Ever since The Old Testament (旧约全书), God punished man with 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Water supplies here have beendwindling The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through the semiarid land, leaving the soil to hake and to thirst for next November.The region's accelerating population, expanding agriculture, industrialization, and higher living standards demand more freshwater. Drought and pollution limit its availability. War and mismanagement waste it. Said Joyce Start of the Global Water Summit Initiative, based in Washington, D.C. "Nations like Israel and Jordan are swiftly sliding into that zone where they are suing all the water resources available to them. They have only 15 to 20 years left before their agriculture, and ultimately their food security, is threatened."I came here to examine this crisis in the making, to investigate fears that "water wars" are imminent, that water has replaced oil as the region's most contentious commodity. For more than two months I traveled through three river valleys and seven nations--from southern Turkey down the Euphrates River to Syria, Iraq, and on to Kuwait; to Israel and Jordan, neighbors across the valley of the Jordan; to the timeless Egyptian Nile.Even amid the scarcity there are haves and have-nots. Compared with the United States, which in 1990 had freshwater potential of 10,000 cubic meters (2.6 million gallons) a year for each citizen, Iraq had 5,500, Turkey had 4,000, and Syria had more than 2,800. Egypt's potential was only 1,100. Israel had 460. Jordan had a meager 260. But these are not firm figures, because upstream use of river water can dramatically alter the potential downstream.Scarcity is only one clement of the crisis, Inefficiency is another, as is the reluctance of some water-poor nations to change priorities from agriculture to less water-intensiveenterprises. Some experts suggest that if nations would share both water technology and resources, they could satisfy the region's population, currently 159 million. But in this patchwork of ethnic and religious rivalries, water seldom stands alone as an issue. It is entangled in the politics that keep people from trusting end seeking help from one another. Here, where water, like truth, is precious, each nation tends to find its own water end supply its own truth.As Israeli hydrology professor Uri Shamir told me: "If there is political will for peace, water will not be a hindrance. If you want reasons to fight, water will not be a hindrance. If you want reasons to fight, water will give you ample opportunities."57. Why does the author use the phrase "for next November" (Line 3, Para. 1)?[A] According to the Old Testament freshwater is available only in November.[B] Rainfall comes only in winter starting from November.[C] Running water systems will not be ready until next November.[D] It is a custom in that region that irrigation to crops is done only in November.58. What is NOT the cause for the imminent water war?[A] Lack of water resources. [B] Lack of rainfall. [C] Inefficient use of water. [D] Water has replaced oil.59. One way for the region to use water efficiently is to ______.[A] develop other enterprises that cost less water [B] draw a plan of irrigation for the various nations[C] import water from water-rich nations [D] stop wars of any sort for good and all60. Uri Shamir's viewpoint is that ______.[A] nations in that region are just fighting for water [B] people there are thirsty for peace instead of water[C] water is no problem as long as there is peace [D] those nations have every reason to fight for water61. The author's tone in the article can be described as ______.[A] depressing [B] urgent [C] joking [D] mockingPart ⅤClozeMost worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training.

Some argue that if the students earn the money they spend it is none of other people's business, and after all, the general living standard keeps rising. However, the fact is that most students live on the money their parents give them. The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle－one with name brand clothing, mobile phones, MP3, and dining out or going to bars with a girlfriend－makes many to be frequent borrowers.In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt. When a student's spending steps beyond the boundaries of , it becomes a kind of waste. Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on the campus could have a bad influence on people's values. But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault. Though everyone has the right。

大学英语六级模拟题（一）及答案

大学英语六级模拟题（一）及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Ask three people to look the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1. Seeing and perceiving are .A. the same actionB. two separate actionsC. two actions carried on entirely by eyesD. several actions that take place at different times2. Perceiving is an action that takes place .A. in our eyesB. only when we think very hard about somethingC. only under the direction of a psychologistD. in every person’s mind3. People perceive different things about the same scene because .A. they see different thingsB. some have better eyesightC. they cannot agree about thingsD. none of these4.

What Psychologists PerceiveD. How to Because an Experimental PsychologistPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown tat 40 percent of cancer isrelated to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures ate more prone to get certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.6. How has science done a disservice to mankind?A. Because of science, most of the foods we eat today are contaminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances has been added to our food.D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.7. What are nitrates used for?A. They preserves flavor in packaged foods.B. They preserve the color of meats.C. They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.8. The FDA has tried repeatedly to control .A. the attempt to fatten the animalsB. the attempt to cure sick animalsC. the using of drugs to animalsD. the using of additives to preserve the dolor of food9. The word “carcinogenic” means most nearly the same as .A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC. money-savingD. cancer-causing10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of the food additives for over thirty-five years.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Unlike their American or European counterparts, car salesmen in Japan work hard to get a buyer. Instead of lying lazily around showrooms waiting for customers to drop by, many Japanese car salesmen still go out to get them. They walk wearily along the streets cars door-to-door. New customers are hunted with fruit and cakes on their birthdays. But life is getting tough, and not just because new-car sales are falling.With more Japanese women (who often control the household budget) going out to work, the salesmen increasingly find nobody at home when they call. That means another visit in the evening or the weekend. Then they face an extra problem:more people, especially the young, prefer to choose a new car from a showroom where they can compare different models.Even as late as the mid-1980s some 90% of new cars were sold door-to-door. In some rural areas most new cars are still sold this way. But in the big cities more than half the new cars are now sold from showrooms.Although investing in showrooms is expensive because of the high cost of Japanese land, dealers have little choice. A labor shortage and higher expectations among Japan’s workforce are making it difficult to hire door-to-door salesmen. Most of a Japanese car salesman’s working day is spent doing favors for customers, like arranging insurance or picking up vehicles for servicing, rather than actually selling.Japan’s doorstep car salesmen are not about to vanish. The personal service they provide is so deep-rooted in Japan that they are likely to operate alongside the glittering new showrooms. The two systems even complement each other. What increasingly happens is that the showroom attracts the interest of a potential buyer, giving the footsore salesmen a firm lead to follow up with a home visit.11. Japanese car sales usually do not wait at showrooms for customers to drop by; instead, .A. they sell cars door-to-doorB. they buy presents for their customersC. they enjoy themselves in recreation centersD. they go out to do market researches12. Implied but stated: the competition in car market is .A. lightB. moderateC. fierceD. unfair13. Young people like to buy a new car .A. at homeB. from a showroomC. made in the U.S.A.D. made in Japan14. The squadron of Japanese car salesmen is reducing because of .A. a labor shortageB. higher expectations among Japan’s workforceC. high cost landD. both A and B15. Japanese car salesmen to their customers many favors such as .A. showing them around in an exhibitionB. arranging insuranceC. paying them a visit on weekendsD. selling ole cars for themPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:The new global satellite communications systems will offer three kinds service, which may overlap in many different kinds of receivers.VOICE. Satellite telephones will be able to make calls from anywhere on the Earth to anywhere else. That could make them especially useful to remote, third world villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), explorers and disaster-relief teams. Today’s mobile telephones depend on earth-bound transmitters, where technical standards vary from country to country. So business travelers cannot use their mobile phones on international trips. Satellite telephones would make that possible.MESSAGING. Satellite massagers have the same global coverage as satellite telephones, but carry text alone, which could be useful for those with laptop computers. Equipped with a smallscreen like today’s papers, satellite massagers will also receive short messages.TRACKING. Voice and messaging systems will also tell their users where they are to within a few hundred meters. Combined with the messaging service, the location service could help rescue teams to find stranded adventurers, the police to find stolen cars, exporters to follow the progress of cargoes, and haulage companies to check that drivers are not detouring the pub. America’s military Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite will provide better positioning information to anyone who has a receiver for their signals, but GPS does not carry messages, so such a receiver cannot be used on its own for tracking or rescue. By the mid-1990s, GPS receivers will be able to tell people where they are to within 70 meters anywhere in the world, and to within a meter or so in areas where the service is supplemented by ground-based transmitter.16. Global satellite communications systems will be useful to .A. laptop computer usersB. remote villagesC. disaster-relief teamsD. all above17. Satellite telephone will make .A. business travelers use mobile phones on international tripsB. possible calls from anywhere on earth to anywhere elseC. explorers happyD. all above18. Which of the following is true?A. The positioning precision of the voice system is better than that of GPS.B. The positioning precision of GPS is Better than that of the voice system.C. The positioning precision of the messaging system is better than of GPS.D. The positioning precision of voice system is better than that of the messaging system.19. What can we say about the new global satellite communications systems?A. They are widely used.B. They are very helpful.C. They are costly.D. Both A and B.20. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Global Satellite CommunicationsB. New Voice and Messaging SystemC. New Generation SatelliteD. Always in TouchQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:One if the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspapers; signal to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without adding customer-appeal to all his other problem of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers (赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufactures find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration sees called for how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.16. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude toward modern advertising?A. IndifferentB. ShockedC. DisapprovingD. Approving17. According to the author, which is NOT the designer’s chief concern when he designs a product?A. Stress factorsB. Man-hoursC. Machine tolerancesD. Customer-appeal18. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are .A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers19. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer will choose toA. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its image20.

The fact that a child picks a language 63 is 64 : At one year old, a child is able to say “bye-bye”; at two, he is able to use fifty; by there he begins to 65 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 66 that human being have a sort of built-insystem for language use, and that the 67 is 68 . Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 70 , hold the view that a child learns 71 of his language from the hints in the environment. 72 , theorists of both schools 73 that there is a biological basis for language use. The 74 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 76 their own theory, but 77 side is persuading the other.It seems that in order to 78 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 79 the joint efforts of both schools.

It has been demonstrated many times that it is often this idea 63 is causing their problems 64 than any lack of skill in mathematics. The 65 way to deal with this problem is to 66 yourself that math involves using the same number you have been using the same numbers you have been using 67 your life and that you know them as well as 68 else. Then set your mind to learning how they used in the 69 part of mathematics you are studying.Another problem many people 70 is that in mathematics, unlike some other 71 you may have studied, the material has a very important 72 or order. If you don’t understand a 73 of a mathematics text, it is no 74 going on to the next section. Many sections of math books are 75 on information presented earlier, so it is 76 that you understand a section before going on to the next.Sometimes students in mathematics courses do not read the written material in the text 77 assume that the teacher will tell them 78 they need to know. This can cause them 79 problem, since many teachers assume that students have read the text before coming to class. The written sections of mathematic textbooks 80 much valuable information.61.

But have you ever wondered what exactly a calorie is?What is a Calorie?A calorie is a unit of energy. We tend to associate calories with food, but they apply to anything containing energy. For example, a gallon (about 4 liters) of gasoline contains about 31,000,000 calories.Specifically, a calorie is the amount of energy, or heat, it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit). One calorie is equal to 4.184 joules (焦耳), a common unit of energy used in the physical sciences. Most of us think of calories in relation to food, as in "This can of soda has 200 calories." It turns out that the calories on a food package are actually kilocalories (1,000 calories=1 kilocalorie). The word is sometimes capitalized to show the difference, but usually not. A food calorie contains 4,184 joules. A can of soda containing 200 food calories contains 200,000 regular calories, or 200 kilocalories. A gallon of gasoline contains 31,000 kilocalories.The same applies to exercise—when a fitness chart says you burn about 100 calories for every mile you jog, it means 100 kilocalories. For the duration of this article, when we say "calorie", we mean "kilocalorie"What Calories Do?Human beings need energy to survive—to breathe, move, pump blood—and theyacquire this energy from food.The number of calories in a food is a measure of how-much potential energy that food possesses. A gram of carbohydrates(碳水化合物) has 4 calories, a gram of protein has 4 calories, and a gram of fat has 9 calories. Foods are a compilation of these three building blocks. So if you know how many carbohydrates, fats and proteins are in any given food, you know how many calories, or how much energy, that food contains.If we look at the nutritional label on the back of a packet of maple-and-brown-sugar oatmeal, we find that it has 160 calories. This means that if we were to pour this oatmeal into a dish, set the oatmeal on fire and get it to burn completely (which is actually pretty tricky), the reaction would produce 160 kilocalories (remember: food calories are kilocalories)—enough energy to raise the temperature of 160 kilograms of water 1 degree Celsius.If we look closer at the nutritional label, we see that our oatmeal has 2 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein and 32 grams of carbohydrates, producing a total of 162 calories (apparently, food manufacturers like to round down). Of these 162 calories, 18 come from fat (9 cal×2g), 16 come from protein (4 cal×4g) and 128 come from carbohydrates (4 cal×32g).Our bodies "burn" the calories in the oatmeal through metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes, by which enzymes (酵素) break the carbohydrates into glucose (葡萄糖) and other sugars, the fats into glycerol (丙三醇) and fatty acids and the proteins into amino acids (氨基酸). These molecules are then transported through the bloodstream to the cells, where they are either absorbed for immediate use or sent on to the final stage of metabolism in which they are reacted with oxygen to release their stored energy.Your Caloric NeedsJust how many calories do our cells need to function well? The number is different for every person. You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the "percent daily values" are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. 2,000 calories is a rough average of what a person needs to eat in a day, but your body might need more or less than 2,000 calories. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level all affect your caloric needs.There are several factors that regulate how many calories we need each day. Some of these considerations are your metabolic rate (新陈代谢率), physical activity level and thermic (热的) effect of food, sleep patterns, age, gender, body mass and body size.To determine your caloric intake value for building mass, multiply your body weight by 24, while multiplying your body weight by 17 to determine your approximate maintenance level caloric intake.The main function of carbohydrates is to be a source of energy for the body. In the end, energy drawn from the breakdown of glucose and glycogen (肝糖) is used to fuel muscular contractions as well as provide a "protein sparing" effect.Unlike the other macro-nutrients, proteins contain nitrogen (氮) which is important in the formation of new muscle tissue. The human body requires 22different amino acids, which are found in protein, and can be classified as either essential or non-essential.Essential amino acids can't be synthesized in the body, while non-essential amino acids can be. Under normal conditions, protein serves an important' role in the maintenance, repair, and growth of body tissues.Proteins make up about 15% of your total body mass and have several roles in the body. Proteins also regulate the acid/base quality of body fluids and are necessary for muscle contractions, hormone production, and the activation of metabolic processes.In the human body, fat provides the largest store of potential energy, produces hormones, strengthens cell structures, transmits nerve impulses and provides insulation (绝热) from cold environments. Fats actually contribute to about 50% of the energy required during light and moderate exercise, and this percentage rises as the work period is prolonged.Calories, Fat and ExerciseSo what happens if you take in more or fewer calories than your body bums? You either gain or lose fat, respectively. An accumulation of 3,500 extra calories is stored by your body as 1 pound of fat—fat is the body's way of saving energy for a rainy day. If, on the other hand, you bum 3,500 more calories than you eat, whether by exercising more or eating less, your body converts 1 pound of its stored fat into energy to make up for the deficit.One thing about exercise is that it raises your metabolic rate not only while you're huffing and puffing (喘不过气来) on the treadmill (踏车). Your metabolism takes a while to return to its normal pace. It continues to function at a higher level; your body bums an increased number of calories for about two hours after you've stopped exercising.Lots of people wonder if it matters where their calories come from. At its most basic, if we eat exactly the number of calories that we bum and if we're only talking about weight, the answer is no a calorie is a calorie. A protein calorie is not different from a fat calorie—they are simply units of energy. As long as you bum what you eat, you will maintain your weight; and as long as you bum more than you eat, you'll lose weight.But if we're talking nutrition, it definitely matters where those calories originate. Carbohydrates and proteins are healthier sources of calories than fats. Although our bodies do need a certain amount of fat to function properly—an adequate supply of fat allows your body to absorb the vitamins you ingest—an excess of fat can have serious health consequences.1.

Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Re ad the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possi ble words on Answer Sheet.The bacteria that cause a common food-borne illness show low drug resistance in Australia, unlike similar strains from the United States and Europe, a study has found. Scientists behind the finding say Australia’s de facto ban on certain antibiotics in poultry (家禽) and other livestock helps explain why.In this study, researchers analyzed samples of Campylobacter jejuni(空肠弯曲杆菌) bacteria from 585 patients in five Australian states. Scientists found that only two percent of the samples were resistant to ciprofloxacin (环丙沙星). One of the group of antibiotics known as fluroroquinolonones.By contrast, 18 percent of Campylobacter(弧形形杆菌) sample in U. S. patients areimmunetofluoroquinolonones, which have been used in the U.S. to prevent or treat respiratory（呼吸的）disease in poultry for a decade.The study, led by Leanne Unicomb, a graduate student at Australian National University in Canberra, was published in the May issue of the journal Clinical Infections Diseases."The findings add to the growing body of evidence suggestive of the problems of using fluoroquinolonones in food-producing animals," Unicomb wrote in an email. Campylobacter is the most common food-borne disease in the U. S. and many other in dustrialized countries. People can contract the pathogen(病原体) by consuming undercooked poultry or meat, raw milk, or contaminated(被污染的) water.Symptoms include fever, vomiting, and diarrhea (腹). In rare cases, the disease can trigger paralysis or death. “In most industrial countries Campylobacter is more commonly reported than Salmonella(沙门氏菌), a better-known cause of food poisioning.” Unicomb said. “The number of cases of Campylobacter has been on the rise in Australia since the early 90’s.”In the U.S., about 1.4 million people contracted Campylobacter infections last year, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. While the infection rate in the U.S. Has dropped over the last decade, the bacteria have grown more drug-resistant.According to the CDC, surveys between 1986 and 1990 found no signs of resistance to the antibiotics in U.S. Campylobacter infections. But by 1997, strainsresistanct to the antibiotics accounted for 12 percent of human cases. In 2001 the figure climed to 18 percent.Public health experts say many factors contribute to Campylobacter's drug resistance; the widespread use of fluoroquinolonones by U.S. poultry farmers over the past decade is one of them.Fluoroquinolones were first approved for use in humans by the U.S. Food and drug Administration (FDA) in 1986. In 1995 the FDA granted poultry farmers' permission to use the drugs in livestock. Last year the FDA banned the antibiotic from food-producing animals, citing the concerns raised by public health experts over drug-resistant bacteria.Frederick Angulo, an epidemiologist with the CDC, monitors the drugs resistance of food-borne pathogens in the U.S. food supply. “The people who are most likely to get infected with food-borne pathogens in the U.S. food supply. “The people who are most likely to get infected with food-borne diseases include the most vulnerable people in the population—infants and young children and also the elderly,” he said. He says that Campylobacter infections are entirely preventable. As is the b acteria’s antibiotic resistance. “In many ways what’s occurring with Campylobacter is an indicator for a broader issue, which is …antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the food supply,” he said.47. Why do food-borne pathogens in Australia show low drug resistance?48. In many industrialized countries, the most common food-borne disease is ______.49. The food-borne disease may cause fever, vomiting, diarrhea and even ______.50. The FDA banned the use of antibiotic from food-producing animals becausepublic health experts were concerned about ______.51. What does Angulo say about the bacteria's antibiotic resistance?Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIt is a curious paradox that we think of the physical sciences as “hard”, the social sciences as “soft,” and the biological sciences as somewhere in between. This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical system is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are more certain than our knowledge of social systems. In terms of our capacity of sample the relevant universes, however, and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct, one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable. We are able to sample earth’s social systems with some degree of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated. Our knowledge of social systems, therefore, while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate, is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries. Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinary life is based in earning, spending, organizing, marrying, taking part in political activities, fighting and so on, is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived form the social sciences, even though it is built upon the very imperfect samples of personal experience. In contrast, our image of the astronomical universe, or even if earth’s geological history, ca easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data come in and new theories are worked out. If we define the “security” of our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order forhardness and as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we learnt things as they were long age, are limited in the extreme. Even in regard to such a close neighbor as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and insecure.52.The word “paradox” (Line 1, Para. 1) means “_____”.A.implicationB.contradictionC.interpretationD.confusion53.Accroding to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as “hard” and the social sciences as “soft” because _______.A.a reverse ordering will help promote the development of the physical sciencesB.our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systemsC.our understanding of the social systems is approximately correctD.we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena54.The author believes that our knowledge of social systems is more secure than that of physical systems because______.A.it is not based on personal experienceB.new discoveries are less likely to occur in social sciencesC.it is based on a fairly representative quantity of dataD.the records of social systems are more reliable55.The chances of the physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because _____.A.contradictory theories keep emerging all the timeB.new information is constantly coming inC.the direction of their development is difficult to predictD.our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate56.We know less about the astronomical universe than we don about any social system because ______.A.theories of its origin and history are variedB.our knowledge of it is highly insecureC.only a very small sample of it has been observedD.few scientists are involved in the study of astronomyPassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Our government recently has focused on the importance of investment in clean energy and energy efficiency as the best way to sustain ably grow America´s dying economy, and President Obama has called for the creation of a high-speed rail system as a way to generate green jobs, enhance economic productivity and reduce carbon emissions. The White House has announced the awarding of $ 8 billion in stimulus funding to kick-start high-speed-rail projects and improve service in 13 corridors across the country.That´s a nice move, but America´s antiquated (旧式的，过去的) rail system will have to advance a long way just to make it to the present, let alone the future. U. S. intercity railroads are a laughingstock compared with those in most other developed nations.Today you can travel the 250 miles from Paris to Lyon on the high-speed TGV in two hours. Covering a similar distance from Philadelphia to Boston takes some five hours. and that´s on an Amtrak Acela train, the closest thing the U.S. has to high-speed rail. "Every other major industrialized nation has recognized that high-speed rail is key to economic growth and mobility," says Petra Todorovich, director of the America 2050 program at the Regional Planning Association. "It´s time for America to realize that as well."But whatever the public´s vision of a sparkling new 150-m. p. h. bullet train like those in Japan and Europe, the reality is that not all, or even most, of the stimulus money will go toward creating entirely new rail service. Instead, much of the initial funding will be spent improving and speeding up existing service.Still, the initial round of $ 8 billion is just a tiny percentage of what it would cost to significantly overhaul(彻底革新) the country´s rail system. And there are concerns that by spreading the funds to so many different projects in so many different states, it won´t be possible to make a real difference in any one place, It doesn´t help that the one region that could most obviously benefit from truly high-speed rail--the Boston-to Washington corridor-received a mere $112million in funding, in part because building new track in the congested area would be prohibitively expensive and politically challenging.Nevertheless, high-speed rail is an idea whose time has come---at least for environmentalists. According to Environment America, high-speed rail uses a third less energy per mile than auto or air travel, and a nationwide system could reduce oil use by 125 million bbl. a year. In addition, high speed rail represents the kind of long-term infrastructure investment that will pay back for decades. "This is a down payment on a truly national program," said Petra, "It will change the way we travel and change the way we work and live."57. What do we learn about the current U.S. intercity railroads from the passage?A. It is already a high-speed rail system.B. It attracts a lot of fund for improvement.C. It covers a long way nationwide.D. It lags far behind other developed nations.58. What is the main reason for developing high-speed rail in some developed countries?A. To shorten the time people spent traveling intercity by train.B. To solve the unemployment by generating more green jobs.C. To boost investment in clean energy and energy efficiency.D. To improve economic growth and mobility sustainably.59. What will the $ 8 billion funding mainly be invested in?A. Sparkling new high-speed bullet trains.B. Creating entirely new railroad service.C. Modifying the existing railroad service.D. Helping regions that might most benefit from the rail.60. Why doesn´t it help for Boston-to-Washington corridor to receive a mere $ 112 million infunding?A. This region is less likely to benefit from the new rail.B. This region is well-developed and don´t need money.C. There is no room for new tracks in this developed area.D. There would be economical and political oppositions.61. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. High-speed rail is a rewarding investment in the long run.B. Only environmentalists like the idea of high-speed rail system.C. Infrastructure investment won´t be paid back until decades later.D. It will cost the nation too much to invest in high-speed rail system.Part V ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

2019年大学英语六级阅读模拟试题（1）Directions:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)The author of some forty novels, a number of plays, volumes of verse, historical, critical and autobiographical works, an editor and translator, Jack Lindsay is clearly an extraordinarily prolific writera fact which can easily obscure his very real distinction in some of the areas into which he has ventured. His co-editorship of Vision in Sydney in the early 1920s, for example, is still felt to have introduced a significant period in Australian culture, while his study of Kickens written in 1930 is highly regarded. But of all his work it is probably the novel to which he has made his most significant contribution.Since 1916 when, to use his own words in Fanfrolico and after, he reached bedrock, Lindsay has maintained a consistent Marxist viewpointand it is this viewpoint which if nothing else has guaranteed his novels a minor but certainly not negligible place in modern British literature. Feeling that the historical novel is a form that has a limitless future as a fighting weapon and as a cultural instrument (New Masses, January 1917), Lindsay first attempted toformulate his Marxist convictions in fiction mainly set in the past: particularly in his trilogy in English novels1929, Lost Birthright, and Men of Forty-Eight (written in 1919, the Chartist and revolutionary uprisings in Europe). Basically these works set out, with most success in the first volume, to vivify the historical traditions behind English Socialism and attempted to demonstrate that it stood, in Lindsays words, for the true completion of the national destiny.Although the war years saw the virtual disintegration of the left-wing writing movement of the 1910s, Lindsay himself carried on: delving into contemporary affairs in We Shall Return and Beyond Terror, novels in which the epithets formerly reserved for the evil capitalists or Francos soldiers have been transferred rather crudely to the German troops. After the war Lindsay continued to write mainly about the presenttrying with varying degrees of success to come to terms with the unradical political realities of post-war England. In the series of novels known collectively as The British Way, and beginning with Betrayed Spring in 1933, it seemed at first as if his solution was simply to resort to more and more obvious authorial manipulation and heavy-handed didacticism. Fortunately, however, from Revolt of the Sons, this process was reversed, as Lindsay began to show an increasing tendency to ignore party solutions, to fail indeed to give anything but the most elementarypolitical consciousness to his characters, so that in his latest (and what appears to be his last) contemporary novel, Choice of Times, his hero, Colin, ends on a note of desperation: Everything must be different, I cant live this way any longer. But how can I change it, how? To his credit as an artist, Lindsay doesnt give him any explicit answer.1. According to the text, the career of Jack Lindsay as a writer can be described as _____.[A]inventive [B]productive [C]reflective [D]inductive2. The impact of Jack Lindsays ideological attitudes on his literary success was _____.[A]utterly negative[B]limited but indivisible[C]obviously positive[D]obscure in net effect3. According to the second paragraph, Jack Lindsay firmly believes in______.[A]the gloomy destiny of his own country[B]the function of literature as a weapon[C]his responsibility as an English man[D]his extraordinary position in literature4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.[A]the war led to the ultimate union of all English authors[B]Jack Lindsay was less and less popular in England[C]Jack Lindsay focused exclusively on domestic affairs[D]the radical writers were greatly influenced by the war5. According to the text, the speech at the end of the tex__________t.[A]demonstrates the authors own view of life[B]shows the popular view of Jack Lindsay[C]offers the authors opinion of Jack Lindsay[D]indicates Jack Lindsays change of attitude参考答案：B C B D D。

Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:According to Forrester Research, 8.6 million online shoppers access the Internetvia a high-speed connection, compared to 12 million using dial-up. Taken alone,those findings are hardly groundbreaking. What’s noteworthy is the rest of thepicture that emerges from that study: Those broadband users are younger, richer, and better informed than their narrowband counterparts. They spend more time and money online and are more likely to buy customized products and services.So why hasn’t the Internet become the focus for broadband companies seeking toestablish relationships with a demographic that has demonstrated a preference for their product? Simply put, until recently, their attempts fell flat.Just over a year ago, our agency launched an online performance-based e-marketing campaign to promote a broadband service. Despite engaging creative and a compelling offer, it met with resounding silence. Six months later, the response was only marginally better.So we were only cautiously optimistic two months later when we launched anothercampaign for the same advertiser, using the same offer. This time,it was a success. Response rates tripled and the customer acquisition cost dropped from $300 to under $100.Clearly, the floodgates have opened and the most sought-after consumers are rushing through to broadband. And while the surge in response wasn’t a complete surprise given the emphasis placed on marketing broadband services, it was enough to make us curious about what other factors were at play.What we discovered was a scenario where so many people have experienced broadband’ssuperiority at work, school, and even in friends’ homes that they know what they’re missing.According to U.S. News & World Report, some 20 million households nationwide nowhave broadband, with another 100,000 signing up each week. That saturation has- 7 -created a market of increasingly discontent dial-up subscribers for broadband companies to reach.Imagine the impact when -- as dial-up users impatiently wait for Web pages to load -- an ad pops up promising lightning-fast access. Their response starts an ongoing relationship managed through newsletters and other e-mail communications designed to keep them informed about value-added services, special promotions, etc. Not only is it ademographic pre-disposed to online CRM, it is also one that isfar from oversold. In fact, less than one-third of U.S. households will subscribe to a broadband service by 2006. And as services designed specifically for broadband increase and support for dial-up declines, the 42 percent of Internet users who said they didn’t need broadband willbecome receptive to a well-focused CRM program. But it won’t last forever. While thewindow of opportunity to reach broadband buyers online is open,it’s not likely to stay that way.Broadband may be the current heir apparent for connectivity, but wireless has given every indication it will be a sleeper hit, emerging from nowhere to take the top spot.In short, the time for broadband companies to establish online customer relationships is now -- before the window slams shut.21. What is NOT mentioned as the result of Forrester Research in the first paragraph? A) A lotof online shoppers access the Internet by broadband.B) Broadband users get more information than the dial-up users.C) It is probable for broadband users to buy the products specially made for them. D) It is thefirst time for people to find out the number of broadband and narrowband users.22. What did the online performance-based e-marketing campaign bringat first?A) The promotion of a broadband service.B) Cautious responses.C) No response at all.D) Some marginal responses.23. Why did another campaign become a success later?A) Because the agency has used a compelling offer.B) Because people have enjo yed the broadband’s advantages in their daily life.C) Because the agency has spent a lot of money on the advertisements.D) Because people become curious about the broadband.24. It can be inferred from the passage that____.A) Few is likely to use dial-up in the future.B) Broadband companies should establish online customerrelationships now.C) About 20 million households nationwide now have broadband.D) People design more services specially for broadband.25. What is the main idea of this passage?A) How Forrester Research got the valuable information.B) Why people want to use broadband.C) How broadband services find success in online CRM.D) Broadband services have great influence on people.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:- 9 -The following passage is an opening speech by Lord Weidenfeld, founder of the Europaeum and Chairman, Weidenfeld and Nicolson Publishers I am very privileged and gratified to talk to you today. I think it is most appropriate to have this meeting at the Humboldt University, Berlin, because of the impulse to the creation to the European network, to the sequence of events, and that great turning point of history, which is symbolised by the fall of the Berlin wall. It was that particular impulse that started an enterprise to bring together teachers and students in, first of all, Western European Universities to offer resources to those universities which had only recently emerged in other parts of Europe. So we started the Europaeum network. Six universities joined us initially. We then approached the University of Prague to join us for the beginning of an enlargement, which would also to include universities previously behind the Iron Curtain. The group that we assembled around the Europaeum logo is by no means exclusive and we would very much like to enlarge it. The term ’variable geometry’ is very fashionable in international politics, but I think it also applies to our intentions, we want it to expand and include other universities either as full members or associates so free standing research institutes.Thanks to the generosity of our German sponsor DaimlerChrysler, particularly theDavies Group of the organization, Dr Klaus Mangold and Dr Bensel, we are now engaging in a study of the roles of the universities in the future. We have a number of ideas regarding how to set about answering these three major questions: What is the future role of the university? If we have established what it is, how do we equip it to produce the resources and do its job and what role does it play in our society? We hope to have a number of ongoing conferences and exchanges of views on the subject thanks to the friendly and co-operation of Humboldt University.We are now in a new era since 11 September. I think that one day we will regardthat approximate decade from the fall of the wall in Berlin and the destructionof the World Trade Centre in New York. Here it is important that we play our role. In what we now see in the plateau of Central Southeast Asia, a holy alliance of barbarism, fanaticism and high tech product of the information society. The University, by having as a component an important dosage of humanism, makes all the difference between a Robespierre like revolution or a continuation of the human spirit with the new resources and tools, carefully husbanded, monitored and controlled.Thanks to President of Humboldt University, Professor Michael Kreile, ProfessorPera, Paul Flather and colleagues.26. What is the attitude of the speaker toward the development of Europaeum?A) Europaeum is open to almost all universities.B) Europaeum is exclusive to some enterprises.C) Europaeum is open only to research institutes.D) Europaeum is exclusive to any other universities.27. What can be concluded about the Europaeum logo from the first paragraph?A) Being no exclusive.B) Bringing together teachers and students in Western European Universities.C) Enlarging Europaeum.D) Having variable geometry.28. What is the subject of this conference?A) How to equip a university to produce the resources.B) How to enlarge a university to some extent.C) How to cooperate with other universities.D) A study of the roles of the universities in the future.29. What kind of organization does the speaker hope to have?A) An organization in which they play an important role.B) An organization full of humanism.C) An organization of revolution.D) An organization full of information.30. What is the purpose of the organization?A) To continue and develop human spirit with new resources and tools.B) To exchange views with different universities.- 11 -C) To unite universities and enterprises.D) To create the European network to continue humanism.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:When a heart-lung machine was invented that could take over the jobof the heart, put oxygen into the blood and keep the circulation going during surgery, surgeons could stop the heart while they were cutting and suturing. Recently, in certain cases, some surgeons have begun operating without the pump while the heart continues to beat.“The benefits of off-pump surgery are tremendous for patients who meet the criteria for this procedure,” says Dr. Jim Zellner with the Alliance of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons.“There is less need for blood products, less chance ofcomplications during and after surgery,earlier recovery and earlier return to regular activity.”Seawood Murray feels he was led by God to find Dr. Zellner and Memorial Hospitaland to have off-pump surgery.A veteran of the United States Navy as a nuclear weapons security officer and commanding officer of a mine assembly group for more than 31 years, Seawood has never complained about stress or pain. He saw three tours of duty off the coast ofVietnam.However, after suffering from chest pain for almost a year and being misdiagnosed with chronic heartburn, Seawood knew something wasseriously wrong. At the Veteran’s hospital in Murfreesboro, he l earned he had heart disease and was told to come back in six weeks.“I didn’t want to wait that long and asked for a referral to The Chattanooga Heart Institute,”Seawood says. “Dr. Noel Hunt found that 40% of my heart was not getting the amount of blood it needed to operate properly.”Four days later, Seawood was undergoing off-pump triple bypass surgery at Memorial Hospital under the hand of Dr. Zellner.“I was sitting up that evening, walking around the second day and feeling goodenough to go home the third day, but I stayed till the fourth morning,” Seawoodsays. “Two others who had on-pump bypass surgery the same day I had mine off-pump were barely walking when I left.”31. How do surgeons usually operate on a heart-attacker according to the passage?A) They operate without a pump.B) They operate with a heart-lung machine.C) They operate by stopping the heart.D) They operate with nothing but cutting and suturing.32. Which of the following statements is NOT the benefit of off-pump surgery?A) The heart-attack patients will be recovered in one day.B) There are fewer chances for heart-attack patients to suffer from other new diseases during the course of hear attack.C) Off-pump surgery needs fewer blood products.D) The heart-attack patients will be well again earlier.33. What’s wrong with Seawood Murray?A) He suffered from chronic heartburn.B) He suffered from heart attack.- 13 -C) He had three tours of duty off the coast of Vietnam.D) His heart couldn’t get blood it needed to operate.34. What did Dr. Zellner do for Seawood Murray’s disease?A) Dr. Zellner gave him a surgery with a heart-lung machine..B) Dr. Zellner diagnosed his disease as chronic heartburn.C) Dr. Zellner gave him an off-pump triple bypass surgery.D) Dr. Zellner referred him to another hospital.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A) Seawood Murray could hardly walk four days after the surgery.B) Seawood Murray got recovered more slowly than other patients.C) Seawood Murray felt well and went home the third day after the surgery.D) Seawood Murray went home the fourth day after the surgery.Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The key element to successful interviewing is not your experience, your grades,what classes you took, your extracurricular activities, or any ofthe other basic necessities. Those skills are what got you the interview. The key element to uccessful interviewing can be summed up in one word: attitude. If you want to rise above others with better experience,better grades, orbetter anything, you will need to work on developing a highlypositive work attitude.Your attitude determines whether you will “make the cut” or be discarded. Remember, there areplenty of competitors with the ability to do almost any given job-- especially at the entry level. The way most employers differentiate at the entry level is by candidates’ attitudes toward the job. Yourattitude is often what recruiters will remember when the dust hassettled after reviewing ten, twenty, or even one hundred candidates--the one who was sincerely willing to put forth his very best effort. If you have the attitude of wanting to do your very best for the company, ofbeing focused on the company’s needs, of putting yours elf forth as the person who will be committed and dedicated to fulfilling their needs, you will likely be the one chosen.Why is attitude so important? Because most companies already have their full share of multi-talented superstars who care about no one but themselves. Ask any manager who the most valuable member of his team is, and he will point not to the overrated superstar, but to the person who has the “can do” attitude, the person who can be counted on in any situation, the person whotruly strives for excellence. Give me a team player who is achieving at 99% and I will take her over a flashy superstar who is running at 50% efficiency any day of the week. And so will 99% of all hiring managers.So don’t worry if you are not “superstar” quality. If you can show me, in your words and actions,that you are ready to put forth your very best effort toward achieving excellence, you will be chosen over the superstar.You can show your winning attitude in the way you present yourself. Incorporatethe ac tual words “positive attitude,” “excellence,” and“striving to be mybest” into your interview language. Then show by your stories and examples howthese words positively affect your life. Show me when and where and how you haveput forth extra effort above and beyond the call of duty. Show me how you beata deadline, how you excelled in a project, or how you made a difference by goingthe extra mile.If you can show me, by words and examples, your “can do” attitude, it is you I will hire, while all of the superstars will receive polite rejection letters toadd to their growing collections.36. What is the key element to successful interviewing according to this passage?- 15 -A) Courses taken before.B) A varied experience.C) A positive work attitude.D) Interviewees’ capability.37. Which of the following statement is correct in the author’s opinion?A) There are inadequate competitors with the ability to do almost any given job— especially atthe entry level.B) Most interviewers general ly depend on the candidates’ attitudes toward the job to choose the employees.C) Most employers tell the difference between candidates by their entry level.D) Better experience and better grades become the most important elements to bechosen.38. Who is the most valuable member of his team to a manager?A) The multi-talented superstar.B) The person who tries his best for excellence.C) The person who counts on himself and does not cooperate with others.D) The flashy star who makes the company famous.39. In an interview, what makes you leave a good impression on the interviewer?A) Your boasting words.B) The words such as positive attitude, excellence, and striving to be my best.C) Your own stories.D) Words and examples to show your positive attitude.40. What is the best title for this passage?A) Your Attitude Determines Whether You Will “Make The Cut” or Be Discarded.B) How to Find a Good Job.C) The Most Important Aspect of Interviewing.D) A Successful Interviewing.Part ?

英语六级考试阅读模拟题(一)The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties ? and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortlybefore their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.21. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to_______.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school22. We are told that in an average family about 1900_______.A. many children died before they lived to more than fiveB. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five23. Many girls, the passage claims, are now likely to_______.A. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry so that they can get a jobD. continue working until they are going to have a baby24. One reason why a woman today may take a job is that she_______.A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after .themselvesB. does not like children herselfC. need not worry about food for her childrenD. can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty25. Nowadays, a husband tends to_______.A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing much of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with his role in the familyD. take a part-time job so that he can help in the home英语六级考试阅读模拟题答案21.

B英语六级考试阅读模拟题(二)Of all the continents, the most drastic reduction in wildlife has occurred in North America, where the transition from a rural to a highly industrialized society has been most rapid. Among the victims are birds, mammals, and fish. We will never again see the passenger pigeon or the eastern elk. They have been wiped out. Of many other species, only a few representatives still survive in the wild. The U. S. Department of the Interior has put no fewer than 109 species on the endangered species list. (An endangered species is one with poor prospects for survival and in need of protection. ) This list includes everything from the timber wolf to the whooping crane. Even the bald eagle, our national symbol, is threatened.Animals that kill other game for food are called predators. The predators include the wolf, mountain lion, fox, bobcat, and bear. Attack against these animals began with the arrival of the first European settlers, who wished to protect their livestock. Eventually, a reward was offered to hunters for every predator that was killed. This reward is called a bounty. Ironically, the Federal government is the chief founder of predator-control programs.The settlers also brought in their Old World fears and superstitions concerning predators. Whether preying (捕食) onlivestock or not, predators were shot on sight. This attitude continues to this day for coyotes, eagles, foxes, mountain lions, and bobcats, and is largely responsible for placing the eastern timber wolf, grizzly bear, and bald eagle on the endangered species list.Yet every animal, including the predator, has its place in nature's grand design. Predators help maintain the health of their prey species by eliminating the diseased, young, old and injured. Predators like the mountain lion and the wolf help to keep the deer herds healthy. Occasional loss of livestock must be weighed against the good these animals do in maintaining the balance of nature.26. In North America, the number of wild animals has reduced most greatly mainly 112because_______.A. the birds, mammals and fish there are most predatorsB. the development there has been at the highest paceC. only a few species still live in the worldD. many species have been put on the endangered species list27. The first European settlers killed predators chiefly in order to_______.A. eat their meatB. protect themselvesC. please the Federal governmentD. protect their livestock28. Some animal species are in danger of disappearing altogether from the earth as a result of_______.A. people's superstitious attitudeB. people's dislike of some animals, such as bald eagleC. people's hunting gamesD. the self-killing of the predators29. Bounty hunters are people who_______.A. take care of wilderness areasB. preserve our wildlifeC. kill meat-eating animals for moneyD. work in the fund of predator-control programs30. According to the writer, even if the meat-eating animals sometimes caused losses of livestock, man should_______.A. estimate the value of predatorsB. compare the losses with the benefits of predatorsC. keep the balance of natureD. raise more livestock英语六级考试阅读模拟题答案26.

Part ⅠWriting (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Travel-mate Wanted, You should write at least 150 word following the outline given below:假设你是李明，假期即将到来，你打算做一次为期三周的旅行，希望找个外国朋友作为游伴(Travel-mate)。

拟一个寻游伴的启事，交代清楚日程安排、费用分担情况、对方的要求等，并说明对方和你一起出游的好处。

Travel-mate WantedPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)SpaceOur Future in Space: It Has Already Begun!We are all space travel ers. But we’ve stayed close to home until now. One day, we may leave our “mother ship”Earth to make our home among the stars。

A giant, spherical “spaceship”，about 8,000 miles in diameter, is speeding through the solar system right now. It is cruising at an incredible 66,600 miles per hour。

It’s not a giant, Star Wars mother ship. It’s spaceship Earth, the home of over four billion people. This water coated spaceship has been traveling through the universe for about five billion years. Only within the past 25 years, however, have some of its passengers broken free of Earth’s gravity。

But 25 years from now, many people, including you, might live in an orbiting space station 200 miles above the Earth。

Space CitiesScientists have already designed special space factories. These factories will take advantage of the absence of gravity (zero gravity) to produce everything from life-saving drugs to perfect ball bearings。

Other scientists have designed space colonies, complete with farms, schools, and artificial day and night. Hundreds, or even thousands, of people will live, work, play—even go to school, far above the Earth。

Our conquest of space, of course, has already begun. We have explored part of the Moon, sent robot spaceships onto the surface of Venus and Mars, and aimed space probes past the planets of Jupiter and Saturn。

Last June, one robot ship, Pioneer 10, left our solar system forever. And astronauts from both the Soviet Union and the United States have lived in space stations。

The conquest of space, without question, is one of the greatest adventures human beings have ever set out on. But it may be more than a great adventure. Some scientists think the conquest of space may be a necessity for survival of the human species。

We are tearing up more and more of the Earth to get raw materials for industry. And we are polluting the air and water as we manufacture products that we need or want. Almost everything that seems to make our lives more comfortable, and from electricity to pesticides, uses up or alters a piec e of our planet’s natural environment。

Why Go into Space?Yet our solar system is full of resources. The moon is chockfull of valuable metals. So are the asteroids, the small, rocky, planet-like bodies orbiting the sun most of them between Mars and Jupiter. These metals, if we can get them, could be used to build factories and space stations. Also, in space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. There is plenty of solar energy to be turned into electricity for manufacturing, for creating comfortable living conditions。

Getting away from Earth has other advantages, too. Modern industry uses many kinds of metal alloys (mixtures of metal that are better for certain purposes than pure metals). Yet some metal alloys either can’t be made or are ver y expensive to make on Earth because of gravity. For instance, certain metals don’t mix well on Earth. But in zero gravity, molten (hot, liquid) metals mix more evenly. This is because there is no gravity to pull the heavier metals down, while the lighter ones float on top。

From space, too, we can look down on the Earth and study the atmosphere, its weather, and the effects of air pollution。

And because there is no strong gravity to break free from, our future homes away from Earth will be convenient starting points for travel to distant planets。

But, while going into space might solve some problems, outer space can also be a dangerous place. For example, in outer space, we have to protect ourselves from the dangers of ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Ultraviolet light from the sun can give us bad sunburns right here on Earth. Yet, Earth’s atmosphere screens out most of that harmful radiation. Cosmic rays are tiny high energy particles from outer space. Again, the Earth shields us from most of them。

At Home in Space?But in space, without special protection, we would be exposed to much stronger radiation from ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Also, in the zero gravity of outer space, our bones will lose calcium and become weaker. This will be more of a problem the longer people stay out in space. Doctors are looking for a way to keep our bones from losing calcium in outer space. And a small spaceship just might “drive you batty” after a while. But even on a short trip in outer space, you might not feel as wel l as you’d like to. Space travel could make you seasick!Yet, these risks won’t keep people from going into space. Eventually, an Earth-like environment will be built in space. And they will be populated by people with many different interests: medicine, construction, farming, teaching, mining, and so on。
