六级选词填空练习一The Fair Tax (交易税) is a proposal to abolish the Internal Revenue Service （国税局）。

It throws out all existing federal taxes and replace them with a 30％nationwide retail sales tax, which would 1 about as much as income taxes, payroll taxes，excise taxes and the lot do now.The Fair Tax got 2 like this, Linbeck said：Three old rich men in Houston talked over lunch in 1995 about what they could do to leave the country better off before they died。

They hit on reforming the tax system, and in 3 simplifying it，as a worthy goal. "I’ve been a 4 of the complexity of the tax code," is how Linbeck puts it。

The main idea behind shifting taxation in this direction is to remove the burden on investment and production and place it all on consumption， 5 probably stimulating long—run growth and exports. Lindbeck also argues that with the payroll tax gone；low-income workers will stand a much better chance of saving up money and rising out of 6 . This was a reference to the work of W. Michael Cox，chief economist of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Consumption is wealth, the argument goes，which makes a consumption tax the fairest kind of tax.One big catch is that the Fair Tax would 7 lower tax rates on those with the highest incomes。

六级英语选词填空专项题附答案Today the world's economy is going through two great changes, both bigger than an Asian financial crisis here or a European monetary union there. The first change is that a lot ofindustrial_62_is moving from the United States, Western Europe and Japan to _63 _countries in Latin America, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe. In 1950, the United States alone _64_ for morethan half of the world's economy output. In 1990, its _65_ was down to a quarter. By 1990, 40% of IBM's employees were non-Americans; Whirlpool, America's leading _66_ of domestic appliances,cut its American labor force _67_ 10%. Quite soon now, many big western companies will have more _68_ and customers in poor countries than in rich_69_ . The second great change is _70_ , inthe rich countries of the OECD, the balance of economic activity is _71_ from manufacturing to _72_ . In the United States and Britain, the_73_ of workers in manufacturing has _74_ since 1900from around 40% to barely half that. _75_ in Germany and Japan, which rebuilt so many _76_ after 1945, manufacturing's share of jobs is now below 30%. The effect of the _77_ is increased _78_manufacturing moves from rich countries to the developing ones, _79_ cheap labor _80_ them a sharp advantage in many of the _81_ tasks required by mass production.62.

A repetitive B variousC creative D enormousBDACD ACBCB DADBC CBBCAA novel way of making computer memories, using bacteria FOR half a century, the 1 __________of progress in the computer industry has been to do more with less. Moore's law famouslyobserves that the number of transistors which can be crammed into a given space 2__________ every 18 months. The amount of data that can be stored has grown at a similar rate. Yet as3__________ get smaller, making them gets harder and more expensive.On May 10th Paul Otellini, the boss of Intel, a big American chipmaker, put the price of a new chip factory at around $10billion. Happily for those that lack Intel's resources, there may be a cheaper option—namely to mimic Mother Nature, who has been building tiny 4__________, in the form of living cells andtheir components, for billions of years, and has thus got rather good at it. A paper published in Small, a nanotechnology journal , sets out the latest example of the 5__________. In it, agroup of researchers led by Sarah Stanil and at the University of Leeds, in Britain, describe using naturally occurring proteins to make arrays of tiny magnets, similar to those employed tostore information in disk drives. The researchers took their6__________ from Magnetospirillum magneticum, a bacterium that is sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field thanks to the presencewithin its cells of flecks of magnetite, a form of iron oxide.Previous work has isolated the protein that makes these miniature compasses. Using genetic engineering, the team managed topersuade a different bacterium—Escherichia coli, a ubiquitous critter that is a workhorse of biotechnology—to 7__________ this protein in bulk. Next, they imprinted a block of gold with amicroscopic chessboard pattern of chemicals. Half the squares contained anchoring points for the protein. The other half were left untreated as controls. They then dipped the gold into asolution containing the protein, allowing it to bind to the treated squares, and dunked the whole lot into a heated 8__________ of iron salts. After that, they examined the results with anelectron microscope. Sure enough, groups of magnetite grains had materialised on the treated squares, shepherded into place by the bacterial protein. In principle, each of these magneticdomains could store the one or the zero of a bit of information, according to how it was polarised. Getting from there to a real computer memory would be a long road. For a start, the grainsof magnetite are not strong enough magnets to make a useful memory, and the size of each domain is huge by modern computing 9__________. But Dr Staniland reckons that, with enough tweaking,both of these objections could be dealt with. The 10__________ of this approach is that it might not be so capital-intensive as building a fab. Growing things does not need as much kit asmaking them. If the tweaking could be done, therefore, the result might give the word biotechnology a whole new meaning.A componentsB advantageC standardsD complimentsE essenceF inspirationG disadvantageH doublesI solutionJ resolutionK devicesL manufactureM spiritN productO technique1.Eessence2.Hdoubles3.Acomponents4.Kdevices5.Otechnique6.Finspiration7.Lmanufacture8.Isolution9.Cstandards10.Badvantage感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

年6月大学英语六级选词填空练习题(1)

大学英语六级选词填空练习题(1)According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this hasan interesting psychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events 1 , depending on whether they are in the past or future. The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler Effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their 2 is travelling towards or away from you. Mr. Caruso argues that something similar happens with people’s perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as 3 , something happening in one month feels psychologically 4 than something that happened a month ago.This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 5 and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine’s day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a 6 of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans-were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already 7 it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to 8 the distance of hypothetical eventsa month in the past or future. The asymmetry (不对称) remained.Mr. Caruso speculates that his research has 9 for psychological well-being.He suspects that people who do not show this bias-those who feel the past asbeing closer-might be more 10 to rumination( 沉思)or depression ,because they aremore likely to dwell on past events.A) advancing B) apparently C)available D)closerE)differently F)evaluate G)experienced H)implicationsI)prospect J)rate K)receding L)scaleM)source N)subject O)volunteers参考答案及解析：英语四级作文模板分类记：评论反驳类模版1Recently it seems that____________.MANY people,especially___________,think it will certainly do good to_____________because_____________.Moreover,_________.Nevertheless,after careful consideration,I have to state that the above view is more than biased,given the following readons.First of all,____________.Besides,__________.Furthermore,__________.We can see clearly that although_________may bring favorable results,there are still problems concerning_______.It seems necessary for ___________to make a careful consideration befero________.模版2Until recently most people hold hostile attitudes towards_______.Some people view it as_____________while others consider it____________.Recent research,however,shows that___________is of great benefit in many respects._________,scientists tell us,_____________.Surprisingly enougu,____________also_______.The most remarkable thing about_______is that_______.Now we can draw the conclusion that_______.I strongly advocate that we should make good use of it to_________.模版3In current society,we come across too many peole who put much emphasis on __________.In many cases,________has become the sole criterion for judging a person’s__________.I argue that we should not put too much emphasis on________.To begin with,we should not take it for granted that those who__________will naturally______________.Moreover,_____________.Yet,_____________.The above discussion points to a fact that_______________.Consequently,it is of vital importance for us to realize that_____________.。

However, the joy of the moment ___31___ off soon."At first I thought this was a wonder, because everything was so ___32___, but then we realized that this is a huge ___33___ in the end," said the mayor. He also noted the plastic bags and other materials that have washed ashore on the island can cause serious problems for ___34___.Still, all these little eggs contained an extra treat with their toys. They ___35___ notes from afar.There was just one problem for the German children who received them: They were written in Russian.2023年3月英语六级真题第1套Unthinkable as it may be, humanity, every last person, could someday be wiped from the face of the Earth. We have learned to worry about asteroids (小行星) and super volcanoes, but the more likely ___26___, according to Nick Bostrom, a professor of philosophy at Oxford, is that we humans will destroy ourselves.Professor Bostrom, who directs Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, has argued over the course of several papers that human ___27___ risks are poorly understood and, worse still, ___28___ underestimated by society. Some of these existential risks are fairly well known, especially the natural ones. But others are ___29___ or even exotic. Most worrying to Bostrom is the subset of existential risks that ___30___ from human technology, a subset that he expects to grow in number and potency over the next century.Despite his concerns about the risks ___31___ to humans by technological progress, Bostrom is no luddite (科技进步反对者). In fact, he is a longtime ___32___ of trans-humanism-the effort to improve the human condition, and even human nature itself, through technological means. In the long run he sees technology as a bridge, a bridge we humans must cross with great care, in order to reach new and better modes of being. In his work, Bostrom uses the tools of philosophy and mathematics, in ___33___, probability theory, to try and determine how we as a ___34___ might achieve this safe passage. What follows is my conversation with Bostrom about some of the most interesting and worrying existential risks that humanity might ___35___ in the decades and centuries to come, and about what we can do to make sure we outlast them.2022年12月英语六级真题第1套During the summer, when I was a visiting poet at a residency out of state, an angry, confused woman wandered into my class and said: "I have three guns and I want to use them." We all ___26___. It wasn't clear if she had the guns, but we each know that, when we teach in America, we are already in danger.I was dizzy with fear. The woman, who later turned out to be a schizophrenic (精神分裂症患者) without ___27___ to her medications, was, by some force, wrestled out and ___28___ away, then put in a hospital forobservation, in a step that was actually safer for everyone than any one of us pressing charges. My class went on; we talked about poems. But despite the fact that the rest of our days on campus passed ___29___, I was rattled. I couldn't shake the sense that in this country we always live at ___30___ risk.A few months later, crisis ___31___ again. While my husband was locking his bike to drop off our 3-year-old daughter for her preschool-aged day camp, a different woman approached. Swiftly and for no ___32___ reason, she bent down, picked up our daughter, and began to carry her down the street. It was so fast and confusing that my daughter ___33___ cried. My husband, in a burst of speed, chased the woman and reclaimed our daughter. The woman, clearly confused, retreated into the public library. A ___34___ of homeless people who generally know the other homeless in the area said they did not recognize the woman. The woman was so clearly unwell that when she was taken into custody she was incoherent. Heartbreakingly, she called our daughter by the name of someone else's child. Each part of the episode was haunting as it was ___35___.2022年12月英语六级真题第2套The task of the global strategist of a business is to build a platform of capabilities derived from the resources, experiences and innovations of units operating in multiple locations, to transplant those capabilities wherever ___26___, and then to systematically upgrade and renew them-ahead of the competition.Apple is an outstanding case of a company whose unique capabilities give it a worldwide ___27___ advantage, particularly with respect to its ability to build platforms from a product base that integrates functional and ___28___ design. Apple has been able to leverage and exploit its California-based design andmarketing advantages successfully throughout the world. IKEA is another such case. The do-it-yourself furniture and houseware company first developed a compelling set of capabilities to design, manufacture and ___29___ furniture at low cost and sell it in a novel way in Sweden. Later, IKEA successfully ___30___ this formula in many other countries.By contrast, Telefónica, a Spanish telecommunications company that is now the world's fifth largest telecom by ___31___, first developed its special advantage abroad. In 1989 and 1990, Telefónica had the opportunity to enter Chile and Argentina, countries that shared many institutional and cultural characteristics with its home country but that were ___32___ more rapid market reform. Throughout the 1990s, Telefónica took what it learned in Chile and Argentina about reconstructing former state-owned telecoms to other Latin American countries that were privatizing their state telecoms and deregulating their telecom markets.These examples might lead the reader to believe that creating a global advantage is an easy task. But many other ___33___ of expensive failed experiments suggest that creating a lasting global advantage actually requires a great deal of ___34___ and operational finesse (技巧). Our research suggests that global winners typically create and sustain their international presence through a systematic process of ___35___, renewing and enhancing their core capabilities.2022年12月英语六级真题第3套American colleges and universities are using 64 percent less coal than they did a decade ago, burning 700,000 tons last year, down from 2 million tons in 2008, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a report ___26___ yesterday.All 57 schools that were burning coal in 2008 are using less now, and 20 have ___27___ coal completely, EIA found.Most universities have turned to natural gas as a ___28___, with state funding backing the fuel switch.While academic institutions use less than 0.1 percent of U.S. coal burned for power, campus coal use has a history dating back to the 1800s when ___29___ to power was scarce.Many universities still operate their own power plants.

Then there was Prohibition, The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what ―real Americans‖ eat, but our nation‘s food has come to be—pizza, say, or hot dogs.

On August 13th the veteran shareholder activist (2) __________that he had built up a stake in Apple, though he stayed mum about exactly how many shares he had bought. Mr Icahn’s intentions, however, are crystal clear: he wants the consumer-electronics behemoth to expand plans to return some of its whopping $147 billion of cash and marketable securities to shareholders.Mr Icahn is also after more money at Dell, where he has been lobbying with allies against a (3)__________ buy-out plan put forward by Michael Dell, the firm’s founder, and Silver Lake, a private-equity firm.

Financiers hope to get them to loosen their purse-strings faster and to pocket some of the cash. Mr Icahn wants Apple to increase and (8)__________ a share buy-back programme that is currently set to return $60 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015. Another reason that tech firms make tempting targets for shareholder activists is that swift changes in technologies can trip up even the mightiest. Witness the case of Microsoft, which ruled the roost during the personal-computer era but has struggled to adapt to a world in which tablets and smart phones are all the rage. Investors hope to mint money by pushing companies to change more rapidly in response to such upheavals in their markets.The rewards can be substantial. Egged on by Third Point, an activist hedge fund, Yahoo (9) __________Marissa Mayer as its new chief executive in July 2012. By the time she celebrated a year in the job last month, the troubled web giant’s share price had risen by over 70%. In July the hedge fund sold a big chunk of shares back to Yahoo. Mr Icahn thinks Apple’s share price, which closed at $499 on August 14th, could soar too if the firm follows his advice on buy-backs. He tweeted this week that he had had a “nice (10)__________”with Tim Cook, Apple’s boss, about his idea, though he did not say what Mr Cook thought of it.

It could also be the extra calories, fat and unhealthy eating choices that may come with (2) __________drinking. A recent study found that men consume an (3)__________ 433 calories (equivalent to a McDonald's double cheeseburger) on days they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. About 61% of the caloric increase comes from the alcohol itself. Men also report eating higher amounts of saturated fats and meat, and less fruit and milk, on those days than on days when they aren't drinking, the study showed. Women fared a bit better, taking in an extra 300 calories on moderate-drinking days, from the alcohol and eating fattier foods. But women's increase in calories from additional eating wasn't statistically significant, the study said. 'Men and women ate less healthily on days they drank alcohol,' said Rosalind Breslow, an epidemiologist with the federal National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and lead author of the study. 'Poorer food choices on drinking days have public-health (4)__________,' she said. The findings dovetail with controlled lab studies in which (5)__________ generally eat more food after consuming alcohol. Researchers suggest that alcohol may enhance 'the short-termrewarding effects' of consuming food, according to a 2010 report in the journal Physiology & Behavior that reviewed previous studies on alcohol, appetite and obesity. But other studies have pointed to a different trend. Moderate drinkers gain less weight over time than either heavy drinkers or people who abstain from alcohol, particularly women, this research has shown. Moderate drinking is (6) __________having about two drinks a day for men and one for women. 'People who gain the least weight are moderate drinkers, regardless of [alcoholic] beverage choice,' said Eric Rimm, an associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the 2010 review of alcohol in the federal dietary (7)__________. The weight-gain difference is modest, and 'starting to drink is not a weight-loss diet,' he said. The various research efforts form part of a long-standing (8)__________ about how alcohol affects people's appetites, weight and overall health. Researchers say there aren't simple answers, and suggest that individuals' metabolism, drinking patterns and gender may play a role. Alcohol is 'a real wild card when it comes to weight management,' said Karen Miller-Kovach, chief scientific officer of Weight Watchers International. At seven calories per gram, alcohol is closer to fat than to carbohydrate or protein in caloric content, she said. Alcohol tends to lower restraint, she notes, causing a person to become more (9)__________ with what they're eating. Research bolstering the role of moderate drinking in helping to control weight gain was published in 2004 in the journal Obesity Research. That study followed nearly 50,000 women over eight years. An earlier study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1994, followed more than 7,000 people for 10 years and found that moderate drinkers gained less weight than nondrinkers. Studies comparing changes in waist circumference among different groups have yielded similar results. Dr. Rimm said it isn't clear why moderate drinking may be (10)__________ against typical weight gain, but it could have to do with metabolic adjustments.

It could also be the extra calories， fat and unhealthy eating choices that may come with (2) __________drinking.A recent study found that men consume an (3)__________ 433 calories (equivalent to a McDonald's double cheeseburger) on days they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. About 61% of the caloric increase comes from the alcohol itself. Men also report eating higher amounts of saturated fats and meat， and less fruit and milk， on those days than on days when they aren't drinking，the study showed.Women fared a bit better， taking in an extra 300 calories on moderate-drinking days，from the alcohol and eating fattier foods. But women's increase in calories from additional eating wasn't statistically significant， the study said.'Men and women ate less healthily on days they drank alcohol，' said Rosalind Breslow，an epidemiologist with the federal National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and lead author of the study. 'Poorer food choices on drinking days have public-health (4)__________，' she said.The findings dovetail with controlled lab studies in which (5)__________ generally eat more food after consuming alcohol. Researchers suggest that alcohol may enhance 'the short-term rewarding effects' of consuming food，according to a 2010report in the journal Physiology & Behavior that reviewed previous studies on alcohol， appetite and obesity.But other studies have pointed to a different trend. Moderate drinkers gain less weight over time than either heavy drinkers or people who abstain from alcohol，particularly women，this research has shown. Moderate drinking is (6) __________having about two drinks a day for men and one for women.'People who gain the least weight are moderate drinkers，regardless of [alcoholic] beverage choice，' said Eric Rimm， an associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the 2010 review of alcohol in the federal dietary (7)__________. The weight-gain difference is modest，and 'starting to drink is not a weight-loss diet，' he said.The various research efforts form part of a long-standing (8)__________ about how alcohol affects people's appetites，weight and overall health. Researchers say there aren't simple answers， and suggest that individuals' metabolism， drinking patterns and gender may play a role.Alcohol is 'a real wild card when it comes to weight management，' said Karen Miller-Kovach， chief scientific officer of Weight Watchers International. At seven calories per gram，alcohol is closer to fat than to carbohydrate or protein in caloric content， she said. Alcohol tends to lower restraint， she notes，causing a person to become more (9)__________ with what they're eating.Research bolstering the role of moderate drinking in helping to control weight gain was published in 2004 in the journal Obesity Research. That study followed nearly 50，000 women over eight years. An earlier study，published in the AmericanJournal of Epidemiology in 1994， followed more than 7，000 people for 10 years and found that moderate drinkers gained less weight than nondrinkers. Studies comparing changes in waist circumference among different groups have yielded similar results.Dr. Rimm said it isn't clear why moderate drinking may be (10)__________ against typical weight gain， but it could have to do with metabolic adjustments. After people drink alcohol，their heart rate increases so they burn more calories in the following hour.'It's a modest amount，' he said.
