大学英语六级真题听力部分及答案2005-2010学习啊学习的啊学习的武器学习的武器

学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了”。

为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。

” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。

但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。

一、多“说”。

自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。

千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。

或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。

尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。

不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。

因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。

只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。

如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。

二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。

别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。

三、多“读”。

“读”可以分为两种。

一种是“默读”。

每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

2005年大学英语六级考试试题及参考答案（1月）（2）

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead." When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation – would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.21. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natural life.B) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C) They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D) They died due to lack of care by family members.22. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because ________.A) he wanted to console the two familiesB) he was an official from the communityC) he had great sympathy for the deceasedD) he was priest of the local church23. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________A) they couldn't find a better way to express their griefB) they believe that they were responsibleC) they had neglected the natural course of eventsD) they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction24. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.A) everything in the world is predeterminedB) the world can be interpreted in different waysC) there's an explanation for everything in the worldD) we have to be sensible in order to understand the world25. People have been made to believe since infancy that ________.A) everybody is at their commandB) life and death is an unsolved mysteryC) every story should have a happy endingD) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region's growing pile of electronic trash. A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly~ They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention. Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from California landfills ( 垃圾填埋场 ). Legislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode ( 阴极 ) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling. A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste. If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age. But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers. "What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they're not supposed to throw computers in the trash," said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association. Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added. Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn't contracted to unscrupulous ( 毫⽆顾忌的 ) junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas. "The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China," said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an amendment to Sher's bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.26. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal.'?A) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.B) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.C) Lobby the lawmakers of the California Assembly.D) Rally support to pass the stalled bills.27. The two bills stalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.A) regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfillsB) the sale of used electronic devices to foreign countriesC) the funding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trashD) the reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state28. Consumers are not supposed to throw used computers in the trash because __.A) they contain large amounts of harmful substancesB) this is banned by the California governmentC) some parts may be recycled for use elsewhereD) unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profit29. High-tech groups believe that if an extra $30 is charged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will _______.A) abandon online shoppingB) buy them from other statesC) strongly protest against such a chargeD) hesitate to upgrade their computers30. We learn from the passage that much of California's electronic waste has been _A) collected by non-profit agenciesB) dumped into local landfillsC) exported to foreign countriesD) recycled by computer manufacturersPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability hasinstead contributed to lackluster (平淡的) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries. Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed." The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries. On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an i n c h d e e p , " S c h m i d t n o t e s .。

2005年职称英语考试理工类（A级）试题及答案（2）第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。

请根据文章的内容从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

第一篇More Than a Ride to SchoolThe National Education Association claims．“The school bus is a mirror of the community．”They further add that，unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect thereality of a chosen community．They are right--sometimes it reflects more! Just ask LieslDenson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl．Bruce Hardy．school bus driver for Althouse BUS Company has been Liesl’s bus driver sincekindergarten．Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by hernew residence。

she requested to ride the same busThis year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus．She says，”It’s been agreat ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener．Sometimes when you’re a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr.Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important．’’Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree．Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he willcelebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company，Larry Althouse，president of the company,acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s outstanding record：“You do not come by employees like Brucethese days. He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record．He wasrecognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accidentfree miles．Hardy’s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made withthe students that ride his bus．”Althouse further adds，‘‘Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has beenproviding quality transportation ever since．My grandfather started the business with one bus．Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe serviceto our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service formany more years to come．’’Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed．Thanks to drivers likeBruce Hardy，they have been building relationships through generations，Liesl’s mother Carolalso enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy’s bus to the Octorara School District．31 The word“mirror#39;’in the first line could be best replaced byE ‘‘vehicle”．F ‘‘device”．G “need”H “reflection”．32 Bruce Hardy has been working with Althouse Bus CompanyA for 30 years．B for 70 years．C since last year．D since 200033 Which of the following statements is NOT true of Bruce Hardy?A He is popular with his passengers．B He has never missed a day of work．C He is an impatient personD He has driven 350.000 accident free miles．34 Althouse Bus Company was founded byA Larry Althouse．B Althouse’s grandfatherC Liesl’s motherD Ashley Batista．35 Althouse Bus Company pays much attention toA employing young driversB running quality schools．C providing free driving lessonsD building sound relationships．第二篇A Phone That Knows You’re BusyIt’s a modern problem：you’re too busy to be disturbed by incessant(连续不断的)phonecalls so yo u turn your cellphone off .But if you don’t remember to turn it back on when you’reless busy．you could miss some important calls if only the phone knew when it was wise tointerrupt you，you wouldn’t have to turn it off at all. Instead，it could let calls through when youare not too busyA bunch of behavior sensors(传感器)and a clever piece of software could do just that，byanalyzing your behavior to determine if it’s a good time to interrupt you．If built into a phone，thesystem may decide you’re too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later．James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based theirsystem oil tiny microphones，cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity．First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones stongly predict whether yourmind is interruptedThe potential“busyness”signals they focused on included whether the office doors were leftopen or closed，the time of day，if other people were with the person in question，how close theywere to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use．The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work . Atrandom intervals，the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from“highlyinterruptible’’to“highly not—interruptible” . Their ratings were then correlated with the variousbehaviors . “It is a shotgun(随意的)approach：we used all the indicators we could think of andthen let statistics find out which were important，” says HudsonThe model showed that using the keyboard，and talking on a landline or to someone else inthe office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be．Interestingly，the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone wastoo busy to be interrupted . The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time，humans 77 per cent．Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biasedtowards delivering their message，whereas computers don’t care．The first application for Hudson and Fogarty’s system is likely to be in an instant messaging system，followed by office phones and cellphones．“There is no technological roadblock(障碍)to it being deployed in a couple of years，” says Hudson36 A big problem facing people today is thatA they must tolerate phone disturbances or miss important calls．B they must turn off their phones to keep their homes quiet．C they have to switch from a desktop phone to a cellphone．D they are too busy to make phone calls．37 The behavior sensor and software system built in a phoneA could help store messages．B could send messages instantlyC could tell when it is wise to interrupt you．D could identify important phone calls．38 Scientists at Carnegie Menon University tried to find outA why office doors were often 1eft open．B when it was a good time to turn off the computer．C what questions office workers were bothered with．D which behaviors could tell whether a person was busy39 During the experiment，the subjects were askedA to control the sensors and the camera．B to rate the degrees to which they could be interrupted．C to compare their behaviors with others’．D to analyze all the indicators of interruption．40 The computer performed better than people in the study becauseA the computer worked harder．B the computer was not busyC people tended to be biased．D people were not good at statistics．。

The tone of the passage can be described as _____.A. pessimisticB. optimisticC. concernedD. indifferentPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Hawaii’s native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago’s political establishment which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of thestate’s homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’cause a major boost by recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy within the state —as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs(OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives’interests and which has now become the mo derate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count those as native people with more than50 percent Hawaiian blood.Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US＄136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.26. Hawaii’s native minority refers to______.A. Hawaii’s ethnic groupsB. people of Filipino originC. the Ka Lahui groupD. people with 50% Hawaiian blood27. Which of the following statements is true of the Hawaiian natives?A. Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed.B. Their life span is 5 years shorter than average Americans.C. Their life is worse than that of other ethnic groups in Hawaii.D. They are the only native group without sovereignty.28. Which of the following is NOT true of John Waihee?A. He is Hawaii’s first native governor.B. He has set up a sovereignty advisory committee.C. He suggested the native people decide for themselves.D. He is leading the local independent movement.29. Which of the following groups holds a less radical attitude on the matter of sovereignty?A. American Indian natives.B. Office of Hawaiian Affairs.C. The Ka Lahui group.D. The Hawaiian natives.30. Various native Hawaiians demand all the following EXCEPT_______.A. a greater autonomy within the stateB. more back rent on the crown landC. a claim on the Hawaiian crown landD. full independence from the USPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Today’s cops are under far more inspection than their predecessors were, thanks in part to governmentalsoul-searching suggesting that police behavior had much to do with touching off the race riots of the late 1960s. Today, more than 75 percent of the major metropolitan police departments have some sort of civilian review agency. And top cops are watching more closely, too. “It’s unbelievable how they Monday-morning quarterback（事后指责）you,”says Dallas officer James, who underwent a vigorous internal investigation last spring after he fired at, but missed, a man who pointed a gun at him, “I’m out there sweating bullets, my heart’s going 95 miles per hour and some guy is sitting in an air-conditioned office telling me what I should have done.”Part of that inspection is rooted in departmental efforts to head off lawsuits. Cops have become an increasingly inviting target for litigation. For example, in 1972, the City of Los Angeles paid＄553,340 in judgments and settlements for the actions of its police department. Last year, Los Angeles paid＄6.4 million.恩波学校2005年春季大学英语六级第一次模考试题加答案（之二）相关内容:。

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Have you ever wondered what our future is like? Practically all people 61 a desire to predict their future 62 . People seem inclined to 63 this task using causal reasoning. First, we generally 64 that future circumstances are 65 caused or conditioned by present 66 . We learn that getting an education will 67 how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy 68 with a shark.Second, people also learn that such 69 of cause and effect are probabilistic（概率）in nature. That is, the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are 70 , but not always. 71 , students learn that studying hard 72 good grades in most instances, but not every time. Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more explicit and 73 techniques for dealing 74 then more rigorously than does causal human inquiry. In looking at ordinary human inquiry, we need to 75 between prediction and understanding. Often, even if we don’t understand why, we are willing to act 76 the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.Whatever the primitive drives 77 motivate human beings, satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to predict future circumstances. The attempt to predict is often played in a 78 of knowledge and understanding. If you can understand whycertain regular patterns 79 , you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns. Thus, human inquiry aims 80 answering both “what” and “why” question, and we pursue these goals by observing and figuring out.61. A) exhibit B) exaggerate C) examine D) exceed62.

2005年01月大学英语六级(CET-6)真题-中大网校

2005年01月大学英语六级(CET-6)真题总分：100分及格：60分考试时间：120分Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)(1)Questions {TSE} are based on the following passage．Throughout the nation’s more than 15，000 school districts，widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged．Though there can be strength in diversity，a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster （平淡的）achievement scores by U．S．children relative to their peers in other developed countries．Indeed，concludes William H．Schmidt of Michigan State University，who led the new analysis，“no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U．S．educational practice in math or science．”The reason，he said，“is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed．”The new analysis，released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington，Va．，is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study．Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U．S．communities，the report finds，but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula，its textbooks，or its teachers’activities．This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries．On average，U．S．students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do．This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an inch deep，”Schmidt notes．For instance，eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan．Among science courses，the international gap is even wider．U．S．curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia，Thailand，Iceland，and Bulgaria．Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations，whose educational systems “share our pattern of splintered （支离破碎的）visions”but which are not economic leaders．The new report “couldn’t come at a better time，”says Gerald Wheeler，executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington．“The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision，”including the call “to do less，but in greater depth．”Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge，he and Schmidt agree，because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time．In fact，Schmidt argues，reforms such as these proposed national standards “face an almost impossible task，because even though they are intellectually coherent，each becomes only one more voice in the babble （嘈杂声）．”{TS}According to the passage，the teaching of science and math in America is （）A. losing its vitality graduallyB. characterized by its diversityC. going downhill in recent yearsD. focused on tapping students’ potential(2)The fundamental flaw of American school education is that （）A. itattachestoomuchimportancetointensivestudyofschoolsubjectsB. itreliesheavilyontheinitiativeofindividualteachersC. itsetsaverylowacademicstandardforstudentsD. itlacksacoordinatednationalprogram(3)By saying that the U．S．educational environment is “a mile wide and an inch deep”（Line 2，Para．5），the author means U．S．educational practice （）A. scratchesthesurfaceofawiderangeoftopicsB. laysstressonqualityattheexpenseofquantityC. encourageslearningbothindepthandinscopeD. offersanenvironmentforcomprehensiveeducation(4)The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they will （）A. solvemostoftheproblemsinschoolteachingB. providedepthtoschoolscienceeducationC. quicklydominateeducationalpracticeD. beabletomeetthedemandsofthecommunity(5)Putting the new science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because （）A. manyschoolteacherschallengetheacceptabilityofthesestandardsB. thereisalwayscontroversyineducationalcirclesC. notenougheducatorshaverealizedthenecessityfordoingsoD. schooldistrictsareresponsibleformakingtheirowndecisions(6)Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage．I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves．One January，I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Both had died “full of years，”as the Bible would say；both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life．Their homes happened to be near each other，so I paid condolence （吊唁）calls on the two families on the same afternoon．At the first home，the son of the deceased （已故的）woman said to me，“If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow，she would be alive today．It’s my fault that she died．”At the second home，the son of the other deceased woman said，“If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida，she would be alive today．That long airplane ride，the abrupt change of climate，was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead．”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to，it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently，the story would have had a happier ending．Priests know that any time there is a death，the survivors will feelguilty．Because the course of action they took turned out badly，they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home，postponing the operation—would have turned out better．After all，how could it have turned out any worse？There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt．The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense，that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens．That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds．The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens，especially the bad things that happen．It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood．Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence （万能）．A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs，and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks．He cries，and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry，people feed him，and when he is wet，people change him．Very often，we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen．{TS}What is said about the two deceased elderly women？A. They lived out a natural lifB. They died due to lack of care by family memberC. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ridD. They weren’t accustomed to the change in weathe(7)The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because （）A. he had great sympathy for the deceasedB. he wanted to console the two familiesC. he was priest of the local churchD. he was an official from the community(8)People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because （）A. theybelievethattheywereresponsibleB. theyhadneglectedthenaturalcourseofeventsC. theycouldn’tfindabetterwaytoexpresstheirgriefD. theydidn’tknowthingsoftenturnoutintheoppositedirection(9)In the context of the passage，“．．．the world makes sense”（Line 2，Para，4）probably means that （）A. wehavetobesensibleinordertounderstandtheworldB. everythingintheworldispredeterminedC. there’sanexplanationforeverythingintheworldD. theworldcanbeinterpretedindifferentways(10)People have been made to believe since infancy that （）A. everystoryshouldhaveahappyendingB. theirwishesarethecauseofeverythingthathappensC. lifeanddeathisanunsolvedmysteryD. everybodyisattheircommand(11)Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage．“I’ve never met a human worth cloning，”says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University．“It’s a stupid endeavor．”That’s an interesting choice of adjective，coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13－year－old dog named Missy．So far，he and his team have not succeeded，though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon．They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring－or perhaps not for another 5 years．It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science．Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning．In three years of work on the Missy project，using hundreds upon hundreds of dog’s eggs，the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos （胚胎）carrying Missy’s DNA．None have survived the transfer to a surrogate （代孕的）mother．The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses （胎）may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls，he argues，but not with humans．“Cloning is incredibly inefficient，and also dangerous，”he says．Even so，dog cloning is a commercial opportunity，with a nice research payoff．Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997，Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs，cattle and horses．“A lot of people want to clone pets，especially if the price is right，”says Westhusin．Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3．7 million so far to fund A&M’s research．Contrary to some media reports，Missy is not dead．The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die．The prototype is，by all accounts，athletic，good-natured and supersmart．Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her．He knows her clone may not have her temperament．In a statement of purpose，Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy．”Besides cloning a great dog，the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs，nurture．It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals．However，Westhusin is cautious about his work．He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant，the offspring，should they survive，will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans，Westhusin asks，“when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet？”{TS}By “stupid endeavor”（Line 2，Para．1），Westhusin means to say that （）A. human cloning is a foolish undertakingB. animal cloning is absolutely impracticalC. human cloning should be done selectivelyD. animal cloning is not worth the effort at all(12)What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusin’s dog cloningproject？A.

They had just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and were thrilled to be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city. John's first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client who was to put in a new game on the market. Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on the marketing concept for its newest lineof clothing. As time passed and work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult, John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest accounts in town. Although John completed his assignment quickly and successfully, he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult account. In response, he not only complained to his colleagues, but also to the boss's secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she-took several additional months to actually complete the project. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignments purposely. Over the next two years John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully and when problems arose she responded with her characteristic, "No problem, I can handle it." Although Sue took longer to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy. 11.

What's considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regarded as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from some East Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. Openly displaying annoyance as anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is consideredill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many East Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and in- stead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior may cause offense. A major difference between American culture and most East Asian cultures is that in East Asia the communityis more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for them- selves. 15. How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time?A.Refrain from showing his feelings. √B.Express his opinion frankly.C.Argue fiercely.D.Yell loudly.解析：[听力原文] What would a Japanese do when he feels annoyed?A.Getting rich quickly.B.Distinguishing oneself. √C.Respecting individual rights.D.Doing credit to one's community.解析：[听力原文] What is encouraged in the American culture according to the passage?四、{{B}}Passage Three (总题数：1，分数：3.00)（分数：3.00）A.If they don't involve any risks.B.If they produce predictable side effects.C.When the urgent need for them arises.D.When tests show that they are relatively safe. √解析：[听力原文18-20] In order for a chemical to be considered a drug, it must have the capacity to affect how the body works. No substance that has the power to do this is completely safe. Drugs are approved only after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively safe when used as directed and when their benefits outweigh their risks. Thus some very dangerous drugs are approved because they are necessary to treat serious illnesses. Many people suffer ill-effects from drugs called side-effects even though they take the drugs exactly as directed. The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation. But drugs are tested on just a few thousand people. When a particular drug is taken by millions, some people may not respond in a predictable way even though the drug has been tested. A patient may also acquire a tolerance for a certain drug, which means the patient has to take ever-larger doses to produce the desired effects. Tolerance may lead to heavy situation, in which a person becomes so dependent on the drug that he or she becomes addicted to it. Addiction causes severe psychological and physical disturbances when a drug is taken away. Finally. drugs often have unwanted side-effects. They usually cause only minor discomfort, such as a skin rash, headache or sleepiness. Certain drugs, however, can produce serious adversary actions. 18. Under what circumstances are drugs approved?A.Because they are not accustomed to it.B.Because they are not psychologically prepared for it.C.Because their genes differ from those who have been tested for it. √D.Because they arc less sensitive to it than those who have been tested for it.解析：[听力原文] Why do many people suffer side-effects from a drug even though they take it as directed?A.They will have to take ever larger closes. √B.They will become physically impaired.C.They will suffer from minor discomfort.D.They will experience a very painful process.解析：[听力原文] What will happen when patients acquire a tolerance for a certain drug?五、{{B}}Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension{{/B}}(总题数：5，分数：10.00)1.What is said about the two deceased elderly women?（分数：2.00）A.They lived out a natural life. √B.They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C.They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D.They died due to lack of care by family members.解析：事实推理题。

2005年6月英语6级考试真题

2005年6月英语6级考试真题The 2005 June English Proficiency Test (CET-6) is a comprehensive exam that aims to assess the English language proficiency of non-native speakers. The exam covers listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills, and is widely recognized by universities and employers in China as a benchmark for English proficiency.The CET-6 exam consists of four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Translation. The Listening section includes short conversations and passages that test the test-taker’s ability to comprehend spoken English. The Reading section consists of longer, more complex passages that assess reading comprehension and vocabulary knowledge. The Writing section requires test-takers to write essays on a given topic, while the Translation section gauges their ability to translate English passages into Chinese.One of the key features of the CET-6 exam is its focus on real-world English language skills. The exam is designed to test not only the test-taker’s knowledge of grammar and vocabulary but also their ability to understand and communicate in English in practical, everyday situations. This makes the CET-6a valuable tool for assessing an individual’s proficiency in English for academic or professional purposes.In order to prepare for the CET-6 exam, test-takers are encouraged to practice all four language skills on a regular basis. This may involve listening to English podcasts or radio programs, reading English newspapers or books, writing essays or journal entries in English, and practicing translation exercises. Additionally, test-takers can benefit from participating in English language exchanges, attending English language classes, or working with a tutor to improve their English skills.The 2005 June CET-6 exam consisted of a variety of challenging questions that tested a wide range of language skills. Test-takers were required to listen to a series of short conversations and answer multiple-choice questions, read several passages and answer comprehension questions, write an essay on a given topic, and translate a passage from English to Chinese. The exam was designed to be comprehensive and to test the test-taker’s ability to understand and use English in a variety of contexts.Overall, the 2005 June CET-6 exam was a rigorous test of English language proficiency that required test-takers to demonstrate their listening, reading, writing, and translationskills. By successfully passing the exam, test-takers can demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively in English and open up new opportunities for academic and professional advancement.。

2005-2015年六级阅读理解

2005年1月8日大学英语六级(CET-6)真题试卷(B卷)Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Throughout the nation’s more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster (平淡的) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, “no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.” The reason, he said, “is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed.”The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers’ activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an inch deep,” Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems “share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎的) visions” but which are not eco nomic leaders.The new report “couldn’t come at a better time,” says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. “The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision,” including the call “to do less, but in greater depth.”Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards “face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble (嘈杂声).”21. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America is ________.A) losing its vitality graduallyB) characterized by its diversityC) going downhill in recent yearsD) focused on tapping students’ potential22. The fundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.A) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjectsB) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersC) it sets a very low academic standard for studentsD) it lacks a coordinated national program23. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is “a mile wide and an inch deep” (Line 2, Para.5), the author means U.S. educational practice ________.A) scratches the surface of a wide range of topicsB) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityC) encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD) offers an environment for comprehensive education24. The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they will ________.A) solve most of the problems in school teachingB) provide depth to school science educationC) quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceD) be able to meet the demands of the community25. Putting the new science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because ________.A) many schoolteachers challenge the acceptability of these standardsB) there is always controversy in educational circlesC) not enough educators have realized the necessity for doing soD) school districts are responsible for making their own decisionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people makea bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years,” as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.26. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natural life.B) They died due to lack of care by family members.C) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.D) They weren’t accusto med to the change in weather.27. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ________.A) he had great sympathy for the deceasedB) he wanted to console the two familiesC) he was priest of the local churchD) he was an official from the community28. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________.A) they believe that they were responsibleB) they had neglected the natural course of eventsC) they couldn’t find a better way to express their griefD) they did n’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction29. In the context of the passage, “... the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.A) we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldB) everything in the world is predeterminedC) there’s an explanation for everything in the worldD) the world can be interpreted in different ways30. People have been made to believe since infancy that ________.A) every story should have a happy endingB) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensC) life and death is an unsolved mysteryD) everybody is at their commandPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his l ab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring—or perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin’s experienc e with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog’s eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy’s DNA. None have su rvived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕的) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dange rous,” he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and hor ses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and supersmart. Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperame nt. Ina statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs, nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”31. By “stupid endeavor” (Line 2, Pa ra. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.A) human cloning is a foolish undertakingB) animal cloning is absolutely impracticalC) human cloning should be done selectivelyD) animal cloning is not worth the effort at all32. What does the first paragra ph tell us about Westhusin’s dog cloning project?A) Its success is already in sight.B) It is doomed to utter failure.C) It is progressing smoothly.D) Its outcome remains uncertain.33. By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.A) examine the reproductive system of the dog speciesB) find out the differences between Missy and its clonesC) search for ways to modify.its temperamentD) study the possibility of cloning humans34. We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have ________.A) an abnormal shapeB) a bad temperC) defective organsD) immune deficiency35. It can be seen that present cloning techniques ________.A) provide insight into the question of nature vs, nurtureB) have been widely used in saving endangered speciesC) have proved quite adequate for the cloning of humansD) still have a long way to go before reaching maturityPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region’s growing pile of electronic trash.A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly. They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention.Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from California landfills (垃圾填埋场).Legislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 onevery new machine containing a cathode (阴极) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they’re not supposed to throw computers in the trash,” said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added.Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job is n’t contracted to unscrupulous (毫无顾忌的) junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas.“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China,” said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an ame ndment to Sher’s bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.36. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal?A) Rally support to pass the stalled bills.B) Lobby the lawmakers of the California Assembly.C) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.D) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.37. The two bills stalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.A) the reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the stateB) regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfillsC) the funding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trashD) the sale of used electronic devices to foreign countries38. Consumers are not supposed to throw used computers in the trash because ________.A) this is banned by the California governmentB) some parts may be recycled for use elsewhereC) unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profitD) they contain large amounts of harmful substances39. High-tech groups believe that if an extra $30 is charged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will ________.A) hesitate to upgrade their computersB) abandon online shoppingC) buy them from other statesD) strongly protest against such a charge40. We learn from the passage that much of California’s electronic waste has been ________.A) dumped into local landfillsB) exported to foreign countriesC) collected by non-profit agenciesD) recycled by computer manufacturers2005年1月8日六级参考答案2005年6月18日大学英语六级(CET-6)真题试卷Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Low-level slash-and-burn farming doesn’t harm rainforest. On the contrary, it helps farmers and improves forest soils. This is the unorthodox view of a German soil scientist who has shown that burnt clearings in the Amazon, dating back more than 1,000 years, helped create patches of rich, fertile soil that farmers still benefit from today.Most rainforest soils are thin and poor because they lack minerals and because the heat and heavy rainfall destroy most organic matter in the soils within four years of it reaching the forest floor. This means topsoil contains few of the ingredients needed for long-term successful farming.But Bruno Glaser, a soil scientist of the University of Bayreuth, has studied unexpected patches of fertile soils in the central Amazon. These soils contain lots of organic matter.Glaser has shown that most of this fertile organic matter comes from “black carbon”—the organic particles from camp fires and charred (烧成炭的) wood left over from thousands of years of slash-and-burn farming. “The soils, known as Terra Preta, contained up to 70times more black carbon than the surrounding soil, “says Glaser.Unburnt vegetation rots quickly, but black carbon persists in the soil for many centuries. Radiocarbon dating shows that the charred wood in Terra Preta soils is typically more than 1,000 years old.“Slash-and-burn farming can be good for soils provided it doesn’t completely burn all the vegetation, and leaves beh ind charred wood,” says Glaser. “It can be better than manure (粪肥).” Burning the forest just once can leave behind enough black carbon to keep the soil fertile for thousands of years. And rainforests easily regrow after small-scale clearing. Contrary to the conventional view that human activities damage the environment, Glaser says: “Black carbon combined with human wastes is responsible for the richness of Terra Preta soils.”Terra Preta soils turn up in large patches all over the Amazon, where they are highly prized by farmers. All the patches fall within 500 square kilometers in the central Amazon. Glaser says the widespread presence of pottery (陶器) confirms the soil’s human origins.The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for “virgin” forest.During the past decade, researchers have discovered hundreds of large earth works deep in the jungle. They are up to 20 meters high and cover up to a square kilometer. Glaser claims that these earth works, built between AD 400 and 1400, were at the heart of urban civilizations. Now it seems the richness of the Terra Preta soils may explain how such civilizations managed to feed themselves.11. We learn from the passage that the traditional view of slash-and-burn farming is that ________.A) it does no harm to the topsoil of the rainforestB) it destroys rainforest soilsC) it helps improve rainforest soilsD) it diminishes the organic matter in rainforest soils12. Most rainforest soils are thin and poor because ________.A) the composition of the topsoil is rather unstableB) black carbon is washed away by heavy rainsC) organic matter is quickly lost due to heat and rainD) long-term farming has exhausted the ingredients essential to plant growth13. Glaser made his discovery by ________.A) studying patches of fertile soils in the central AmazonB) examining pottery left over by ancient civilizationsC) test-burning patches of trees in the central AmazonD) radiocarbon-dating ingredients contained in forest soils14. What does Glaser say about the regrowth of rainforests?A) They take centuries to regrow after being burnt.B) They cannot recover unless the vegetation is burnt completely.C) Their regrowth will be hampered by human habitation.D) They can recover easily after slash-and-burn farming.15. From the passage it can be inferred that ________.A) human activities will do grave damage to rainforestsB) Amazon rainforest soils used to be the richest in the worldC) farming is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforestsD) there once existed an urban civilization in the Amazon rainforestsPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.As a wise man once said, we are all ultimately alone. But an increasing number of Europeans are choosing to be so at an ever earlier age. This isn’t the stuff of gloomy philosophical contemplations, but a fact of Europe’s new economic landscape, embr aced by sociologists, real-estate developers and ad executives alike. The shift away from family life to solo lifestyle, observes a French sociologist, is part of the “irresistible momentum of individualism” over the last century. The communications revolu tion, the shift from a business culture of stability to one of mobility and the mass entry of women into the workforce have greatly wreaked havoc on (扰乱) Europeans’ private lives.Europe’s new economic climate has largely fostered the trend toward independ ence. The current generation of home-aloners came of age during Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American style capitalism. Raised in an era of privatization and increased consumer choice, today’s tech-savvy (精通技术的) workers have embraced a free market in love as well as economics. Modern Europeans are rich enough to afford to live alone, and temperamentally independent enough to want to do so.Once upon a time, people who lived alone tended to be those on either side of marriage-twenty something professionals or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly elderly women, make up a large proportion of those living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners in their 30s and 40swho increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle choice. Living alone was conceived to be negative-dark and cold, while being together suggested warmth and light. But then came along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, strong! Now, young people want to live alone.The booming economy means people are working harder than ever. And that doesn’t leave much room for relationships. Pimpi Arroyo, a 35-year-old composer who lives alone in a house in Paris, says he hasn’t got time to get lonely because he has too much work. “I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fairly difficult.” Only an Ideal Woman would make him change his lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, author of a recent book called “The Single Woman and Prince Charming,” thinks this fierce n ew individualism means that people expect more and more of mates, so relationships don’t last long-if they start at all. Eppendorf, a blond Berliner with a deep tan, teaches grade school in the mornings. In the afternoon she sunbathes or sleeps, resting up for going dancing. Just shy of 50, she says she’d never have wanted to do what her mother did-give up a career to raise a family. Instead, “I’ve always done what I wanted to do: live a self-determined life.”16. More and more young Europeans remain single because ________.A) they are driven by an overwhelming sense of individualismB) they have entered the workforce at a much earlier ageC) they have embraced a business culture of stabilityD) they are pessimistic about their economic future17. What is said about European society in the passage?A) It has fostered the trend towards small families.B) It is getting closer to American-style capitalism.C) It has limited consumer choice despite a free market.D) It is being threatened by irresistible privatization.18. According to Paragraph 3, the newest group of singles are ________.A) warm and lightheartedB) on either side of marriageC) negative and gloomyD) healthy and wealthy19. The author quotes Eppendorf to show that ________.A) some modern women prefer a life of individual freedomB) the family is no longer the basic unit of society in present-day EuropeC) some professional people have too much work to do to feel lonelyD) most Europeans conceive living a single life as unacceptable20. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A) To review the impact of women becoming high earners.B) To contemplate the philosophy underlying individualism.C) To examine the trend of young people living alone.D) To stress the rebuilding of personal relationships.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Supporters of the biotech industry have accused an American scientist of misconduct after she testified to the New Zealand government that a genetically modified (GM) bacterium could cause serious damage if released.The New Zealand Life Sciences Network, an association of pro-GM scientists and organisations, says the view expressed by Elaine Ingham, a soil biologist at Oregon State University in Corvallis, was exaggerated and irresponsible. It has asked her university to discipline her.But Ingham stands by her comments and says the complaints are an attempt to silence her. “They’retrying to cause trouble with my university and get me fired,” Ingham told New Scientist.The co ntroversy began on 1 February, when Ingham testified before New Zealand’s Royal Commission on Genetic Modification, which will determine how to regulate GM organisms. Ingham claimed that a GM version of a common soil bacterium could spread and destroy plants if released into the wild. Other researchers had previously modified the bacterium to produce alcohol from organic waste. But Ingham says that when she put it in soil with wheat plants, all of the plants died within a week.“We would lose terrestrial (陆生的) plants... this is an organism that is potentially deadly to the continued survival of human beings,” she told the commission. She added that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) canceled its approval for field tests using the organism once she had told them about her research in 1999.But last week the New Zealand Life Sciences Network accused Ingham of “presenting inaccurate, careless and exaggerated information” and “generating speculative doomsday scenarios (世界末日的局面) that are not scientifically supportable”. They say that her study doesn’t even show that the bacteria would survive in the wild, much less kill massive numbers of plants. What’s more, the network says that contrary to Ingham’s claims, the EPA was nev er asked to consider the organism for field trials.The EPA has not commented on the dispute. But an e-mail to the network from Janet Anderson, director of the EPA’s bio-pesticides (生物杀虫剂) division, says “there is no record of a review and/or clearance to field test” the organism.Ingham says EPA officials had told her that the organism was approved for field tests, but says she has few details. It’s also not clear whether the organism, first engineered by a German institute for biotechnology, is still in use.Whether Ingham is right or wrong, her supporters say opponents are trying unfairly to silence her.“I think her concerns should be taken seriously. She shouldn’t be harassed in this way,” says Ann Clarke, a plant biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who also testified before the commission. “It’s an attempt to silence the opposition.”21. The passage centers on the controversy ________.A) between American and New Zealand biologists over genetic modificationB) as to whether the study of genetic modification should be continuedC) over the possible adverse effect of a GM bacterium on plantsD) about whether Elaine Ingham should be fired by her university22. Ingham insists that her testimony is based on ________.A) evidence provided by the EPA of the United StatesB) the results of an experiment she conducted herselfC) evidence from her collaborative research with German biologistsD) the results of extensive field tests in Corvallis, Oregon23. According to Janet Anderson, the EPA ________.A) has cancelled its approval for field tests of the GM organismB) hasn’t reviewed the findings of Ingham’s researchC) has approved field tests using the GM organismD) hasn’t given permission to field test the GM organism24. According to Ann Clarke, the New Zealand Life Sciences Network ________.A) should gather evidence to discredit Ingham’s claimsB) should require that the research by their biologists be regulatedC) shouldn’t demand that Ingham be disciplined for voicing her viewsD) shouldn’t appe ase the opposition in such a quiet way25. Which of the following statements about Ingham is TRUE?A) Her testimony hasn’t been supported by the EPA.。

Though there can be strength in diversity, a newinternational analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster (平淡的)achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, “no single intellectually cohere nt vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.〞The reason, he said, “is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed.〞The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus w ithin a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers’ activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an inch deep,〞Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educationalsystems “share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎的) visions〞but which are not economic leaders.The new report “couldn’t come at a better time,〞says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. “The new Natio nal Science Education Standards provide that focused vision,〞including the call “to do less, but in greater depth.〞Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards “face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one morevoice in the babble (嘈杂声).〞21. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America is ________.A) losing its vitality graduallyB) characterized by its diversityC) going downhill in recent yearsD) focused on tapping students’ potential22. The fundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.A) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjectsB) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersC) it sets a very low academic standard for studentsD) it lacks a coordinated national program23. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is “a mile wide and an inch deep〞(Line 2,Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice ________.A) scratches the surface of a wide range of topicsB) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityC) encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD) offers an environment for comprehensive education24. The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they will ________.A) solve most of the problems in school teachingB) provide depth to school science educationC) quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceD) be able to meet the demands of the community25. Putting the new science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because ________.A) many schoolteachers challenge the acceptability of these standardsB) there is always controversy in educational circlesC) not enough educators have realized the necessity for doing soD) school districts are responsible for making their own decisionsPassage Two Questions 26 to 30I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years,〞as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Theirhomes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on thesame afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, “If only I had sent mymother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.〞At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.〞When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak ofthe infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet hisneeds, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.26. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natural life.B) They died due to lack of care by family members.C) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.D) They weren’t accustomed to the change in weather.27. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ________.A) he had great sympathy for the deceasedB) he wanted to console the two familiesC) he was priest of the local churchD) he was an official from the community28. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________.A) they believe that they were responsibleB) they had neglected the natural course of eventsC) they couldn’t find a better way to express their griefD) they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction29. In the context of the passage, “... the world makes sense〞(Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that________.A) we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldB) everything in the world is predeterminedC) there’s an explanation for everything in the worldD) the world can be interpreted in different ways30. People have been made to believe since infancy that ________.A) every story should have a happy endingB) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensC) life and death is an unsolved mysteryD) everybody is at their commandPassage Three Questions 31 to 35“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,〞says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.〞That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring—or perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog’s eggs, the A&Mteam has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕的) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans.“Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,〞he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplic ating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,〞says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.Cont rary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and supersmart. Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He k nows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.〞Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs, nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want toclone humans,Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals y et?〞31. By “stupid endeavor〞(Line 2, Para. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.A) human cloning is a foolish undertakingB) animal cloning is absolutely impracticalC) human cloning should be done selectivelyD) animal cloning is not worth the effort at all32. What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusin’s dog cloning project?A) Its success is already in sight.B) It is doomed to utter failure.C) It is progressing smoothly.D) Its outcome remains uncertain.33. By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.A) examine the reproductive system of the dog speciesB) find out the differences between Missy and its clonesC) search for ways to modify.its temperamentD) study the possibility of cloning humans34. We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have ________.A) an abnormal shapeB) a bad temperC) defective organsD) immune deficiency35. It can be seen that present cloning techniques ________.A) provide insight into the question of nature vs, nurtureB) have been widely used in saving endangered speciesC) have proved quite adequate for the cloning of humansD) still have a long way to go before reaching maturityPassage Four Questions 36 to 40Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region’s growing pile of electronic trash.A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly. They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention.Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardoussubstances, and are already banned from California landfills (垃圾填埋场).Legislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30on every new machine containing a cathode (阴极) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors andtelevisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they’re not supposed to throw computers in the trash,〞said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added.Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintainthe state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn’t contracted to unscrupulous (毫无顾忌的) junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas.“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China,〞said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an amendment to Sher’s bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.36. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal?A) Rally support to pass the stalled bills.B) Lobby the lawmakers of the California Assembly.C) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.D) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.37. The two bills stalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.A) the reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the stateB) regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfillsC) the funding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trashD) the sale of used electronic devices to foreign countries38. Consumers are not supposed to throw used computers in the trash because ________.A) this is banned by the California governmentB) some parts may be recycled for use elsewhereC) unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profitD) they contain large amounts of harmful substances39. High-tech groups believe that if an extra $30 is charged on every TV or computer purchased inCalifornia, consumers will ________.A) hesitate to upgrade their computersB) abandon online shoppingC) buy them from other statesD) strongly protest against such a charge40. W e learn from the passage that much of California’s electronic waste has been ________.A) dumped into local landfillsB) exported to foreign countriesC) collected by non-profit agenciesD) recycled by computer manufacturersPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)41.

Doctor Brundtland, head of the WHO, says a number of leprosy cases around the world has (S1) been cut of ninety percent during the past ten years. She says (S2) efforts are continuing to complete end the disease. (S3)Leprosy is caused by bacteria spread through liquid from the nose and mouth. The disease mainly effects the skin and (S4) nerves. However, if leprosy is not treated it can cause permanent damage for the skin, nerves, eyes, arms or legs. (S5)In 1999, an international campaign began to end leprosy. The WHO, governments of countries most affected by the disease, and several other groups are part of the campaign. This alliance guarantees that all leprosy patients, even they (S6) are poor, have a right to the most modern treatment.Doctor Brundtland says leprosy is no longer a disease that requires life-long treatments by medical experts. Instead, patients can take that is called a multi-drug therapy. This (S7) modern treatment will cure leprosy in 6 to 12 months, depend on the form of the disease. The treatment combines (S8) several drugs taken daily or once a month. The WHO has given multi-drug therapy to patients freely for the last five (S9) years. The members of the alliance against leprosy plan to target the countries which still threatened by leprosy. Among (S10) the estimated 600,000 victims around the world, the WHO believes about 70% are in India. The disease also remains a problem in Africa and South America.Part V Writing (30 minutes) 150 words Your Help Needed1.对病人的简单介绍：目前的病情和家庭情况2. 目前的困难：无法继续承当医疗费用，需要护理3. 希望捐助，联系方式。
