2019年12月大学英语六级考试阅读模拟题及答案4
2019年12月大学英语六级考试阅读模拟题及答案4Work is a very important part of life in the United States. When the early Protestant immigrants came to this country,they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the Protestant work ethic, still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological needs, the feeling of doing something for the good of the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive. For most Americans, their work defines them; they are what they do. What happens, then when a person can no longer work?Most Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retireesoften feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of course, some people are happy to retire; but leaving one’s job, whatever it is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Many retirees do not know how to usetheir time or they feel lost without jobs.Retirement can also bring financial problems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices areincreasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation is forcingprices higher each year; Social Security checks alone cannot cover Medicare (health care) and welfare (general assistance) but many senior citizens have to change their lifestylesafter retirement. They have to spend carefully to be surethat they can afford to but food, fuel, and other necessities.Of course, many senior citizens are happy with retirement. They have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part time; others do volunteer work. Some, like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even help young people to get started in new business. Many retired citizens also belong to “Golden Age” groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are many opportunities for retirees.Americans society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problemof limited income. They are building new housing, offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services, such as free courses, food service, and help with housework. Retired citizens are a rapidly growing percentage of the population. This part of the population is very important and we must respond to their needs. After all, every citizen will be a senior citizen some day.1.The early immigrants considered work ___.A.too hardB.importantC.pleasantD.dull2.Why do Americans like working? Because working ___.A.doesn’t only mean money but it is also psychologicalB.can make life more comfortableC.can prove people to be independentD.gives people funny3.We can safely put forward that retirees who ___.A.have no financial problems still want to earn more moneyB.have financial problems still feel lostC.have no financial problems still feel lostD.have no financial problems feels it’s hard to make ends meet4.According to the passage the government ___.A.hadn’t paid attention to the retirees’ problemsB.has already solved a lot of retirees’ problemsC.has just begun to pay attention to the retirees’ problemsD.won’t pay attention to the retirees’ problems5.Which of the following is not steps taken for the benefit of senior citizens by the government?A.New housing has been built.B.The old are offered discounts in stores.C.Senior citizens are provided free courses, food service.D.None.答案：BACCD。

2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案（全三套）2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案（第1套）Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.It’s not difficult for us to come up w ith several possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.【参考范文译文】俗话说，知识能改变命运。

2019年12月英语六级考试模拟题及答案解析(3)
2019年12月英语六级考试模拟题及答案解析(3)Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions： There are four 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 singleline through the centre. Questions 21 to 23 are based on the following passage：The Caledonian Market in London is a clearing house ofthe junk (旧货、废弃物 ) of the universe. Here, rubbish is a commodity and rubbish picking is a sport. Somebody, somewhere, wanted these things, perhaps just to look at. You learn here the incredible obscurity of human needs and desires. People grope (摸索), with fascinated curiosity, among the turned瞣ut debris (废墟) of thousands of attic rooms. Junk pours in twice a week, year in and year out. The Market is the penultimate (倒数第二的) resting place of banished vases, musical instruments that will not play, sewing machines that will not sew, paralyzed perambulator, epileptic bicycles and numerous other articles from which all morale and hope have long departed. There are stories of fortunes being picked upin the Market. Once seven hundred gold sovereigns were foundin a secret drawer of a crazy old bureau. And book buyershave discovered valuable editions of Milton and Dickens and Carlyla. There is nothing one can not buy in the Market.21. The title below that best expresses the idea of this passage is ____.A) Why People Buy What They DoB) Reflections on A Famous Junk MarketC) The Cause for Fascinated CuriosityD) What Happens to Attic Debris22. The articles for sale in the Caledonian Market ____.A) are wanted to look atB) are collected 100 times a yearC) reveal obscure needs and desiresD) bring fortune to the buyers23. From the style of this passage one might assume that it was taken from ____.A) a report on marketingB) a guide bookC) directions for a stage settingD) an information essayQuestions 24 to 30 are based on the following passage： Allelomimetic behavior may be defined as behavior in which two or more individual animals do the same thing, with some degree of mutual simulation and coordination. It can only involve in species with sense organs that are well enough developed so that continuous sensory contact can bemaintained. It is found primarily in vertebrates(脊椎动物), in those species that are diurnal, and usually in those that spend much of their lives in the air, in open water or on open plains. In birds, allelomimetic behavior is the rule rather than the exception, though it may occasionally be limited to particular seasons of the year as it is in the redwing blackbird. Its principal function is that of providing safety from predators(掠食者), partly because the flock can rely on many pairs of eyes to watch for enemies, and partly because if one bird reacts to danger, the whole flock is warned. Among mammals, allelomimetic behavior is very rare in rodents(啮齿动物), which almost never move in flocks or herds. Even when they are artificially crowded together, they do not conform in their movements. On the other hand, such behavior is a major system among large hoofed mammals,such as sheep. In the pack huntingcarnivores(食肉类飞禽), allelomimetic behavior has another function of cooperative hunting for large prey(被捕食者) animals,such as moose. Wolves also defend their dens as a group against larger predators, such as bears. Finally, allelomimetic behavior is highly developed among most primate groups, where it has the principal function of providing warning against predators,as though combined defensive behavior is also seen in troops of baboons(狒狒).。

The sense of social responsibility is very important to us. If everyone has a good sense of social responsibility, we can build a better social and a more prosperous country.How can sense of social responsibilty be strengthened? To start with, children should be taught about good moral outlook, so that when they grow up, they become law-abiding and responsible citizens. Furthermore, the humanistic education is vital, especially for university students because they are the future pillars of our country. Last but no least, it is necessary to encourage people to care for others, help others through all kinds of propaganda.If all the citizens have a sound sense of social responsibility, it is hopeful that the world will enjoy a better future. Therefore, let's take our social responsibility and contribute to our society.。

2019年12月大学英语六级作文范文仿写练习(2)My View on Fake Commodities1. 假冒伪劣商品的危害。
2. 怎样杜绝假冒伪劣商品。
My View on Fake CommoditiesNowadays fake commodities have flooded almost every inch of the market. Wherever you are, whatever you do, it seems that you can hardly have fallen prey to them. In other words, it is highly probable that you have bought some of those fake goods or products of inferior quality。
Needless to say, fake commodities have already done great harm to our society. On the one hand, they will ruin the good reputation of genuine products and disturb the balance of the market. On the other hand, the prevalence of such products has hindered interpersonal relationship and resulted in the decline of public morality. As a consequence, they have wasted exhaustible resources, endangered people’s precious life and health, and in the long run eroded public trust。

2019英语六级模拟试卷：写作Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Where Do You Prefer to Work, in City or in the Country? You should base your composition on the following instructions (given in Chinese.)：1. 有的人愿意去城市工作。
2. 有的人愿意去农村工作。
3. 你有何选择？Your compositions should be no less than 120 words.作文范文：Where Do you Prefer to Work, in City or in the Country?People have many reasons for working in cities. In the first place, there are more and better jobs with good pay in cities which attract graduates fresh from schools and colleges who are badly in need of money. Not only do city dwellers have better jobs and higher salaries, they, too, have more opportunities to be promoted. Besides, cities also provide more entertainments and other facilities, such as concerts, exhibitions, amusement parks, museums, gymnasiums, theaters, and night-clubs. In a word, city life is more exciting and colorful.Those who would like to work in the country probably think that a quiet, clean working and living environment free frompollution is more important than a well-paid job. They invariably like the fresh air, green lawns, exuberant trees and a peaceful life without tensions and cut-throat competitions.Personally, I am more incline to work in a big city where I can be exposed to both good opportunities and severe competitions. I believe in “the survival of the fittest” and am prepared to meet the challenges of city life.。

2019年12月英语六级写作专项训练及参考范文(6)话题：Youngsters’ Worship1. 大学生现在过度崇拜大明星2. 分析产生这个现象的原因3. 我的看法作文范文：Youngsters’ WorshipNowadays, star-worshiping is popular among teenagers, especially many university students.Why? When it comes to the symptoms of worshiping a star, the main factor I’d like to mention is imitation. With a blind love for their idols, teenagers firmly believe that their choices are the best. As a result, the stars’ clothes, hairstyles and hobbies, as well as their behaviors in public, are closely observed or followed, though, to some extent, they may be considered improper or even ridiculous.In my opinion, having idols is not a bad thing. However, we should make it clear who are the real “heroes”. As far as I am concerned, the real heroes are those who are making the most contributions to our society, such as teachers, doctors and scientists. As students, we should learn from them. Only in this way can we become useful persons in the future.。

2019年6月英语六级考试模拟试卷2019年6月英语六级考试模拟试卷Part Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes)Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled College Students on the Job Market. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.1.当今大学生面临着严重的就业压力2.这个现象的产生有多方面的原因3.解决的办法College Students on the Job Market_____________________________________________________________ ________________Part I Writing【参考范文】More and more graduates are going out of universities and entering into the society every year while the demand on the job market remains stable. The college students are facing greater and greater pressure in job-hunting.There are many reasons behind the current phenomenon. To begin with, the economy has been confronted with depressionin recent years on a global level, and it takes time for the worldwide economy to recover. What's more, there is anelement of irrationality in the enrollment of the campuses. Some hot majors have enrolled too many students, and many people compete for one position after graduation, whereas the majors with little attention have few students, and more graduates are needed than the campus can supply.The solution to this problem lies with both the government as a whole and the individual in specific. The government takes whatever measures possible to help the economy recover and to create more job opportunities for the applicants. And for the individual students, it is better to study what they are interested in and to gain experience through practice, thus better prepared for the society.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions： In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.

The healthcare industry as a whole, however, has been slow to adopt information technology and integrate computer systems,raising the question of whether the push to digitize will result in information that empowers doctors to make better-informed decisions or a morass of disconnected data.The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) knows firsthand how difficult it is to achieve the former, and how easily an EHR plan can fall into the latter. UPMC has spent five years and more than $1 billion on information technology systems to get ahead of the EHR issue. While that is more than five times as much as recent estimates say it should cost a hospital system, UPMC is a mammoth network consisting of 20 hospitals as well as 400 doctors' offices, outpatient sites and long-term care facilities employing about 50,000 people.UPMC's early attempts to create a universal EHR system, such as its ambulatory electronic medical records rolled out between 2000 and 2005, were met with resistance as doctors, staff and other users either avoided using the new technology altogether or clung to individual, disconnected software and systems that UPMC's IT department had implemented over the years.On the mendAlthough UPMC began digitizing some of its records in 1996, the turning point in its efforts came in 2004 with the rollout of its eRecord system across the entire health care network. eRecord now contains more than 3.6 millionelectronic patient records, including images and CT scans, clinical laboratory information, radiology data, and apicture archival and communication system that digitizes images and makes them available on PCs. The EHR system has29,000 users, including more than 5,000 physicians employedby or affiliated with UPMC.If UPMC makes EHR systems look easy, don't be fooled, cautions UPMC chief medical information officer Dan Martich, who says the health care network's IT systems require a "huge, ongoing effort" to ensure that those systems can communicate with one another. One of the main reasons is that UPMC, like many other health care organizations, uses a number ofdifferent vendors for its medical and IT systems, leaving the integration largely up to the IT staff.Since doctors typically do not want to change the waythey work for the sake of a computer system, the success ofan EHR program is dictated not only by the presence of the technology but also by how well the doctors are trained on, and use, the technology. Physicians need to see the benefitsof using EHR systems both persistently and consistently, says Louis Baverso, chief information officer at UPMC's Magee-Women's Hospital. But these benefits might not be obvious at first, he says, adding, "What doctors see in the beginning is that they're losing their ability to work with paper documents, which has been so valuable to them up until now."Opportunities and costsGiven the lack of EHR adoption throughout the healthcare world, there are a lot of opportunities to get thisright (or wrong). Less than 10 percent of U.S. hospitals have adopted electronic medical records even in the most basic way, according to a study authored by Ashish Jha, associate professor of health policy and management at Harvard Schoolof Public Health. Only 1.5 percent have adopted acomprehensive system of electronic records that includes physicians' notes and orders and decision support systemsthat alert doctors of potential drug interactions or other problems that might result from their intended orders.Cost is the primary factor stalling EHR systems, followed by resistance from physicians unwilling to adopt new technologies and a lack of staff with adequate IT expertise, according to Jha. He indicated that a hospital could spend from $20 million to $200 million to implement an electronic record system over several years, depending on the size of the hospital. A typical doctor's office would cost an estimated $50,000 to outfit with an EHR system.The upside of EHR systems is more difficult to quantify. Although some estimates say that hospitals and doctor's offices could save as much as $100 million annually by moving to EHRs, the mere act of implementing the technology guarantees neither cost savings nor improvements in care, Jha said during a Harvard School of Public Health community forum on September 17. Another Harvard study of hospital computerization likewise determined that cutting costs and improving care through health IT as it exists today is "wishful thinking". This study was led by David Himmelstein, associate professor at Harvard Medical School.The cost of getting it wrongThe difference between the projected cost savings and the reality of the situation stems from the fact that the EHR technologies implemented to date have not been designed to save money or improve patient care, says Leonard D'Avolio, associate center director of Biomedical Informatics at theMassachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research and Information Center (MAVERIC). Instead, EHRs are used to documentindividual patients' conditions, pass this information among clinicians treating those patients, justify financial reimbursement and serve as the legal records of events.This is because, if a health care facility has $1million to spend, its managers are more likely to spend it on an expensive piece of lab equipment than on information technology, D'Avolio says, adding that the investment on lab equipment can be made up by charging patients access to it as a billable service. This is not the case for IT. Also, computers and networks used throughout hospitals and health care facilities are disconnected and often manufactured by different vendors without a standardized way of communicating. "Medical data is difficult to standardize because caring for patients is a complex process," he says. "We need to findsome way of reaching across not just departments but entire hospitals. If you can't measure something, you can't improve it, and without access to this data, you can't measure it."To qualify for a piece of the $19 billion being offered through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), healthcare facilities will have to justify the significanceof their IT investments to ensure they are "meaningful users" of EHRs. The Department of Health and Human Services has yetto define what it considers meaningful useAggregating info to create knowledgeIdeally, in addition to providing doctors with basic information about their patients, databases of vital signs, images, laboratory values, medications, diseases,interventions, and patient demographic information could be mined for new knowledge, D'Avolio says. "With just a few of these databases networked together, the power to improve health care increases exponentially," D'Avolio suggested. "All that is missing is the collective realization thatbetter health care requires access to better information—not automation of the status quo." Down the road, the addition of genomic information, environmental factors and family history to these databases will enable clinicians to begin to realize the potential of personalized medicine, he added.1. In America, it is slow to adopt information technology because —————.A) the funds invested by the government is not enough in the pastB) EHRs have received less attention of the public in the pastC) whether it will be useful to doctors or not is doubtfulD) UPMC knows how difficult it is to digitize the hospital2. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) —————.A) is the first medical center to adopt information technologyB) satisfy the requirement of the government on information technologyC) spent less money on information technology than it was estimatedD) attempted to created a universal EHR system, but met some difficulties3.

2019年大学英语六级模拟题及答案(四)
2019年大学英语六级模拟题及答案(四)Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions：There are 4 reading 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 singleline through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage：When Kathie Gifford's face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after her lucrative line of Wal mart clothing was exposed as the work of underpaid laborers in New York City's Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White House teamed up to condemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton's administration launched the "No Sweat" campaign, which pressured retailers and manufacturers to submit to periodic independent inspection of their workplace conditions.This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct, a promise to self瞨egulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many of thenation's largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However, the Department of Defense, which has a $ 1 billion garment business that would make it the country's 14thlargest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the Code ofConduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors submit to periodic inspections.Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the code, the job of stopping public sector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can lose their lucrative taxpayer瞗inanced contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. "I just assume that they are adhering tosafety and health requirements," she says. According to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for safety and health violations in the past 12 years.21.What is this passgage mainly concerned with?A)The functions of the Department of Labor in America.B)A serious problem threatening American economy.C)The successful attempt of regulating sweatshops in America.D)The seriousness of the problem of sweatshops in America.22.According to the passage, Kathie Gifford ____.A) was one of the underpaid laborers in New York City's ChinatownB) was one of the well paid laborers in New York City's ChinatownC) made much money from cheap laborers in New York City's ChinatownD) wrote a newspaper article exposing the practice of employing cheap laborers23.The underlined phrase "to submit to" is closest in meaning to ____.A) to accept unwillinglyB) to refuse coldlyC) to welcome warm heartedlyD) to blame strongly24.Which of the following statements about the Department of Defense is true?A) It will become the country's 14th largest retail apparel manufacturer.B) It hasn't acted according to the Workplace Code of Conduct.C) It has demanded its contractors to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct.D) It has teamed up with the Department of Labor to launch a campaign.25.What was the purpose of President Clinton's administration launching the "No Sweat" campaign?A) To urge manufacturers to obey the Workplace Code of Conduct.B) To remind the manufacturers of the Workplace Code of Conduct.C) To urge the Department of Labor to take its responsibility.D) To urge the Department of Defense to inspect manufacturers. Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage：The term investment portfolio conjures up visions of the truly rich-the Rockefellers, the Wal Mart Waltons, Bill Gates. But today, everyone-from the Philadelphia firefighter, hispart瞭ime receptionist wife and their three children, to the single Los Angeles lawyer starting out on his own-needs a portfolio.A portfolio is simply a collection of financial assets.It may include real estate, rare stamps and coins, precious metals and even artworks. But those are for people with expertise. What most of us need to know about are stocks, bonds and cash (including such cash equivalents as money瞞arket funds).How do you decide what part of your portfolio should goto each of the big three? Begin by understanding that stocks pay higher returns but are more risky; bonds and cash paylower returns but are less risky.Research by Ibbotson Associates, for example, shows that large瞔ompany stocks, on average, have returned 11.2 percentannually since 1926. Over the same period, by comparison, bonds have returned an annual average of 5.3 percent and cash, 3.8 percent.But short瞭erm risk is another matter. In 1974, a oneyear $1000 investment in the stock market would have declined to $735.With bonds, there are two kinds of risk： that the borrower won't pay you back and that the money you'll getwon't be worth very much. The U.S. government stands behind treasury bonds, so the credit risk is almost nil. But the inflation risk remains. Say you buy a $1000 bond maturing in ten years. If inflation averages about seven percent overthat time, then the $1000 you receive at maturity can onlybuy $500 worth of today's goods.With cash, the inflation risk is lower, since over a long period you can keep rolling over your CDs every year (or more often). If inflation rises, interest rates rise to compensate.As a result, the single most imortant rule in building a portfolio is this： If you don't need the money for a long time, then put it into stocks. If you need it soon, put itinto bonds and cash.26.This passage is intended to give advice on ____.A) how to avoid inflation risksB) what kinds of bonds to buyC) how to get rich by investing in stock marketD) how to become richer by spreading the risk27.The author mentions such millionaires as the Rockefellers and Bill Gates to show that ____.A) they are examples for us on our road to wealthB) a portfolio is essential to financial successC) they are really rich peopleD) they started out on their own28.Which of the following statements will the author support?A) Everybody can get rich with some financial assets.B) The credit risk for treasury bonds is extremely high.C) It's no use trying to know the advantages of stocks, bonds and cash.D) Everybody should realize the importance of distribution of their financial assets.29.The word "returns" in paragraph three can be best replaced by "____."A) returning journeysB) profitsC) savingsD) investments30.The author of the passage points out that ____.A) keeping cash is the only way to avoid risksB) the longer you own a stock, the more you lostC) the high rate of profit and high rate of risk coexistin stocksD) the best way to accumulate wealth is by investing in stocks Part ⅢVocabulary (20 minutes)Directions：There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

2019年大学英语六级模拟题及答案(六)
2019年大学英语六级模拟题及答案(六)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 singleline through the centre.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage：According to Forrester Research, 8.6 million online shoppers access the Internet via a high-speed connection, compared to 12 million using dial-up. Taken alone, those findings are hardly groundbreaking. What’s noteworthy is the rest of the picture that emerges from that study： Those broadband users are younger, richer , and better informedthan their narrowband counterparts. They spend more time and money online and are more likely to buy customized products and services.So why hasn’t the Internet become the focus for broadband companies seeking to establish relationships with a demographic that has demonstrated a preference for their product? Simply put, until recently, their attempts fell flat. Just over a year ago, our agency launched an online performance-based e-marketing campaign to promote a broadband service. Despite engaging creative and a compelling offer, it met with resounding silence. Six months later, the responsewas only marginally better. So we were only cautiously optimistic two months later when we launched another campaign for the same advertiser, using the same offer. This time, it was a success. Response rates tripled and the customer acquisition cost dropped from $300 to under $100.Clearly, the floodgates have opened and the most sought-after consumers are rushing through to broadband. And while the surge in response wasn’t a complete surprise given the emphasis placed on marketing broadband services, it was enough to make us curious about what other factors were at play. What we discovered was a scenario where so many people have experienced broadband’s superiority at work, school, and even in friends’ homes that they know what they’re missing.According to U.S. News & World Report, some 20 million households nationwide now have broadband, with another100,000 signing up each week. That saturation has created a market of increasingly discontent dial-up subscribers for broadband companies to reach. Imagine the impact when -- as dial-up users impatiently wait for Web pages to load -- an ad pops up promising lightning-fast access. Their responsestarts an on going relationship managed through newsletters and other e-mail communications designed to keep them informed about value-added services, special promotions, etc. Not only is it a demographic pre-disposed to online CRM, itis also one that is far from oversold. In fact, less thanone-third of U.S. households will subscribe to a broadband service by 2006. And as services designed specifically for broadband increase and support for dial-up declines, the 42 percent of Internet users who said they didn’t needbroadband will become receptive to a well-focused CRM program. But it won’t last forever. While the window of opportunityto reach broadband buyers online is open, it’s not likely to stay that way. Broadband may be the current heir apparent for connectivity, but wireless has given every indication it will be a sleeper hit, emerging from nowhere to take the top spot.In short, the time for broadband companies to establish online customer relationships is now -- before the window slams shut.21. What is NOT mentioned as the result of Forrester Research in the first paragraph?A) A lot of online shoppers access the Internet by broadband.B) Broadband users get more information than the dial-up users.C) It is probable for broadband users to buy the products specially made for them.D) It is the first time for people to find out the number of broadband and narrowband users.22. What did the online performance-based e-marketing campaign bring at first?A) The promotion of a broadband service.B) Cautious responses.C) No response at all.D) Some marginal responses.23. Why did another campaign become a success later?A) Because the agency has used a compelling offer.B) Because people have enjoyed the broadband’s advantages in their daily life.C) Because the agency has spent a lot of money on the advertisements.D) Because people become curious about the broadband.24. It can be inferred from the passage that____.A) Few is likely to use dial-up in the future.B) Broadband companies should establish online customer relationships now.C) About 20 million households nationwide now have broadband.D) People design more services specially for broadband.25. What is the main idea of this passage?A) How Forrester Research got the valuable information.B) Why people want to use broadband.C) How broadband services find success in online CRM.D) Broadband services have great influence on people.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage：The following passage is an opening speech by Lord Weidenfeld, founder of the Europaeum and Chairman, Weidenfeld and Nicolson Publishers I am very privileged and gratified to talk to you today. I think it is most appropriate to havethis meeting at the Humboldt University, Berlin, because of the impulse to the creation to the European network, to the sequence of events, and that great turning point of history, which is symbolised by the fall of the Berlin wall. It was that particular impulse that started an enterprise to bring together teachers and students in, first of all, Western European Universities to offer resources to thoseuniversities which had only recently emerged in other parts of Europe. So we started the Europaeum network. Six universities joined us initially. We then approached the University of Prague to join us for the beginning of an enlargement, which would also to include universities previously behind the Iron Curtain. The group that we assembled around the Europaeum logo is by no means exclusive and we would very much like to enlarge it. Theterm ’variable geometry’ is very fashionable in international politics, but I think it also applies to our intentions, we want it to expand and include other universities either as full members or associates so free standing research institutes.Thanks to the generosity of our German sponsor DaimlerChrysler, particularly the Davies Group of the organization, Dr Klaus Mangold and Dr Bensel, we are now engaging in a study of the roles of the universities in the future. We have a number of ideas regarding how to set about answering these three major questions： What is the futurerole of the university? If we have established what it is, how do we equip it to produce the resources and do its job and what role does it play in our society? We hope to have a number of ongoing conferences and exchanges of views on the subject thanks to the friendly and co-operation of Humboldt University.We are now in a new era since 11 September. I think that one day we will regard that approximate decade from the fall of the wall in Berlin and the destruction of the World Trade Centre in New York. Here it is important that we play our role. In what we now see in the plateau of Central Southeast Asia, a holy alliance of barbarism, fanaticism and high tech product of the information society. The University, by having as a component an important dosage of humanism, makes all the difference between a Robespierre like revolution or a continuation of the human spirit with the new resources and tools, carefully husbanded, monitored and controlled.Thanks to President of Humboldt University, Professor Michael Kreile, Professor Pera, Paul Flather and colleagues.26. What is the attitude of the speaker toward the development of Europaeum?A) Europaeum is open to almost all universities.B) Europaeum is exclusive to some enterprises.C) Europaeum is open only to research institutes.D) Europaeum is exclusive to any other universities.27. What can be concluded about the Europaeum logo from the first paragraph?A) Being no exclusive.B) Bringing together teachers and students in Western European Universities.C) Enlarging Europaeum.D) Having variable geometry.28. What is the subject of this conference?A) How to equip a university to produce the resources.B) How to enlarge a university to some extent.C) How to cooperate with other universities.D) A study of the roles of the universities in the future.29. What kind of organization does the speaker hope to have?A) An organization in which they play an important role.B) An organization full of humanism.C) An organization of revolution.D) An organization full of information.30. What is the purpose of the organization?A) To continue and develop human spirit with new resources and tools.B) To exchange views with different universities.C) To unite universities and enterprises.D) To create the European network to continue humanism.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：When a heart-lung machine was invented that could take over the job of the heart, put oxygen into the blood and keep the circulation going during surgery, surgeons could stop the heart while they were cutting and suturing. Recently, in certain cases, some surgeons have begun operating without the pump while the heart continues to beat.“The benefits of off-pump surgery are tremendous for patients who meet the criteria for this procedure,” says Dr. Jim Zellner with the Alliance of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons. “There is less need for blood products, less chance of complications during and after surgery,earlier recovery and earlier return to regular activity.”Seawood Murray feels he was led by God to find Dr.Zellner and Memorial Hospital and to have off-pump surgery.A veteran of the United States Navy as a nuclear weapons security officer and commanding officer of a mine assembly group for more than 31 years, Seawood has never complained about stress or pain. He saw three tours of duty off the coast of Vietnam.However, after suffering from chest pain for almost a year and being misdiagnosed with chronic heartburn, Seawood knew something was seriously w rong. At the Veteran’shospital in Murfreesboro, he learned he had heart disease and was told to come back in six weeks.“I didn’t want to wait that long and asked for areferral to The Chattanooga Heart Institute,” Seawood says. “Dr. Noel Hunt found tha t 40% of my heart was not gettingthe amount of blood it needed to operate properly.” Four days later, Seawood was undergoing off-pump triple bypass surgery at Memorial Hospital under the hand of Dr. Zellner. “I was sitting up that evening, walking around the second day and feeling good enough to go home the third day, but I stayed till the fourth morning,” Seawood says. “Two others who had on-pump bypass surgery the same day I had mine off-pump were barely walking when I left.”31. How do surgeons usually operate on a heart-attacker according to the passage?A) They operate without a pump.B) They operate with a heart-lung machine.C) They operate by stopping the heart.D) They operate with nothing but cutting and suturing.32. Which of the following statements is NOT the benefit of off-pump surgery?A) The heart-attack patients will be recovered in one day.B) There are fewer chances for heart-attack patients to suffer from other new diseases during the course of hear attack.C) Off-pump surgery needs fewer blood products.D) The heart-attack patients will be well again earlier.33. What’s wrong with Seawood Murray?A) He suffered from chronic heartburn.B) He suffered from heart attack.C) He had three tours of duty off the coast of Vietnam.D) His heart couldn’t get blood it needed to operate.34. What did Dr. Zellner do for Seawood Murray’s disease?A) Dr. Zellner gave him a surgery with a heart-lung machine..B) Dr. Zellner diagnosed his disease as chronic heartburn.C) Dr. Zellner gave him an off-pump triple bypass surgery.D) Dr. Zellner referred him to another hospital.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A) Seawood Murray could hardly walk four days after the surgery.B) Seawood Murray got recovered more slowly than other patients.C) Seawood Murray felt well and went home the third day after the surgery.D) Seawood Murray went home the fourth day after the surgery.Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：The key element to successful interviewing is not your experience, your grades,what classes you took, your extracurricular activities, or any of the other basic necessities. Those skills are what got you the interview. The key element to uccessful interviewing can be summed up in one word： attitude. If you want to rise above others with better experience, better grades, or better anything, you will needto work on developing a highly positive work attitude.Your attitude determines whether you will “make the cut” or be discarded. Remember, there are plenty of competitorswith the ability to do almost any given job-- especially atthe entry level. The way most employers differentiate at the entry level is by candidates’ attitudes towa rd the job. Your attitude is often what recruiters will remember when the dust has settled after reviewing ten, twenty, or even one hundred candidates--the one who was sincerely willing to put forthhis very best effort. If you have the attitude of wanting todo your very best for the company, of being focused on the company’s needs, of putting yourself forth as the person who will be committed and dedicated to fulfilling their needs,you will likely be the one chosen.Why is attitude so important? Because most companiesalready have their full share of multi-talented superstarswho care about no one but themselves. Ask any manager who the most valuable member of his team is, and he will point not to the overrated superstar, but to the person who has the “can do” attitude, the person who can be counted on in any situation, the person who truly strives for excellence. Giveme a team player who is achieving at 99% and I will take herover a flashy superstar who is running at 50% efficiency any day of the week. And so will 99% of all hiring managers.So don’t worry if you are not “superstar” quality. If you can show me, in your words and actions, that you are ready to put forth your very best effort toward achieving excellence, you will be chosen over the superstar. You can show your winning attitude in the way you present yourself. Incorporate the actual words “positive attitude,” “excellence,” and “striving to be my best” into your interview language. Then show by your stories and examples how these words positively affect your life. Show me when and where and how you have put forth extra effort above and beyond the call of duty. Show me how you beat a deadline, how you excelled in a project, or how you made a difference by going the extra mile. If you can show me, by words and examples, your “can do” attitude, it is you I will hire, while all of the superstars will receive polite rejection letters to add to their growing collections.36.
