(10 points)Text 1①In May 1989, space shuttle “Atlantis” released in outer space the space probe “Megallan,” which is now on her 15-month and one-billion-kilometer flight to Venus. ②A new phase in space exploration has begun.①The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth; it is the only other object in the solar system, in fact, that even comes close to earth’s size. ②Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds.③It is also the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. ④In short, Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of “earth’s twin.”①The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. ②Added to that is an atmospheric pressure about 90 times Earth’s: High overhead in the carbon dioxide (CO2) that passes for air is a layer of clouds, perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). ③Water is all but nonexistent.①Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radically different: It is not just an academic matter. ②For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of earth. ③It has no earth’s oceans, so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. ④In addition, the planet Venus takes 243 earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a more leisurely, observable pace.一、词汇1．shuttle n. 返汽车(列车，飞机)；航天飞机，航天器2．release v. 放出，释放 3.probe n. 探测4.phase n. 阶段5.density n. 密度6.approximately ad. 大概，大约7.stuff n. 材料，东西8.passes for被当成9.sulfuric a. 硫的10. acid n. 酸性物质，酸11. axis n. 轴(线)12.leisurely ad. 慢慢地，悠然地二、长难句1.

For eachquestion there are four answers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)Text 1In May l989, space shuttle “Atlantis” released in outer space the space probe “Megallan,” which is now on her 15-month and one-billion-kilometer flight to Venus. A new phase in space exploration has begun.The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth; it is the only other object in the solar system, in fact, that even comes close to earth’s size. Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. It is also the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. In short, Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of “earth’s twin.”The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. Added to that is an atmospheric pressure about 90 times Earth’s: High overhead in the carbon dioxide (CO2) that passes for air is a layer of clouds, perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Water is all but nonexistent.Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radically different: It is not just an academic matter. For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of earth. It has no earth’s oceans, so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. In addition, the planet Venus takes 243 earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a more leisurely, observable pace.16. Venus is similar to Earth in ________.[A] size and density[B] distance from the sun[C] having atmosphere[D] all of the above17. The greatest value in studying Venus should be to ________.[A] allow us to visit there[B] understand Earth better[C] find a new source of energy[D] promote a new space program18. The main idea of this passage is about ________.[A] problems of space travel[B] scientific methods in space exploration[C] the importance of Venus to Earth[D] conditions on VenusText 2Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome’s main avenues. Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome.Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for “a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence.” So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. “But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough,” says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers.Women, who constitute 52 per cent of Italy’s population, today represent only 35 per cent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 per cent of the total number of Italians with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of the growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or a woman.Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaner.However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.19. The expression “snake through central Rome” probably means “to move ________[A] quietly through central Rome.”[B] violently through central Rome.”[C] in a long winding line through central Rome.”[D] at a leisurely pace through central Rome.”20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] There are more women than men in Italy.[B] In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.[C] In Italy, women are still at a disadvantage in employment.[D] In Italy, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.21. About 200,000 women in Rome demonstrated for ________.[A] more job opportunities[B] a greater variety of jobs[C] “equal job, equal pay”[D] both A and B22. The best title for this passage would be ________.[A] The Role of Women is Society[B] Women Demonstrate for Equality in Employment[C] Women as Self-employed Professionals[D] Women and the Jobs MarketText 3The old idea that talented children “burn themselves out” in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is unfounded. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright kids is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.To find this out, l, 500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results:On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they had as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married and seemed content with their lives.About 70 per cent had graduated from college, though only 30 per centhad graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 per cent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office, business, or professional occupations.The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.In a material way they did not do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth.In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise into practical reality.23. The old idea that talented children “burn themselves out” in the early years is ________.[A] true in all senses[B] refuted by the author[C] medically proven[D] a belief of the author24. The survey of bright children was made to ________.[A] find out what had happened to talented children when they became adults[B] prove that talented children “burn themselves out” in the early years[C] discover the percentage of those mentally ill among the gifted[D] prove that talented children never burn themselves out25. Intelligence tests showed that ________.[A] bright children were unlikely to be mentally healthy[B] between childhood and adulthood there was a considerable loss of intelligence[C] talented children were most likely to become gifted adults[D] when talented children grew into adults, they made low scoresSection III: Close TestFor each numbered blank in the following passage there are four choices labeled [A], [B], [C], and [D], choose the best one and put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET.

sentences underlined into Chinese.(20points) People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.It is not easy toexplain why one person is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are,of course,extremely interested in these types of questions.(21)They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet,but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect,the two approaches are very different from each other.The controversy is often conveniently referred to as“nature vs.nurture.”(22)Those who support the“nature”side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors.(23)That our environment has little,if anything,to do with our abilities,characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme,this theory maintains that our behavior is pre-determined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Those who support the“nurture”theory,that is,they advocate education,are often called behaviorists.They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.A behaviorist,B.F.Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.(24)The behaviorists maintain that,like machines,humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic,intelligence,offered by the two theories.(25)Supporters of the“nature”theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologically determined.Needless to say:They don’t believe that factors in the environment have much influence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic.On the other hand,behaviorists argue that our intelligence levels are the product of our experiences.(26)Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.The social and political implications of these two theories are profound.(27)In the United States,blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests.This leads some“nature”proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites.(28)Behaviorists,in contrast,say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy.Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior.。

Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome’smain avenues. Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been evenmore puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome. Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for “a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence.” So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has beenthe province of collective industrial bargaining. “But there is a growing awareness that this is notenough,” says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers. Women, who constitute 52 per cent of Italy’s population, today represent only 35 per centof Italy’s total workforce and 33 per cent of the total number of Italians with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerablyin services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Officialstatistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More andmore women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to businessbecause of the growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices havedisappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or a woman. Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes areimmediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as statepolice, railway workers and street cleaners. However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded. 19. The expression “snake through central Rome” probably means “to move ________ [A] quietly through central Rome.” [B] violently through central Rome.” [C] in a long winding line through central Rome.” [D] at a leisurely pace through central Rome.” 20. Which of the following statements is NOT true? [A] There are more women than men in Italy. [B] In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.

Put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)1In May l989 , space shuttle "Atlantis" released in outer space the space probe "Megallan" ,which is now on her 15-month and one-billion-kilometer flight to Venus. A new phase in spaceexploration has begun .The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth; it is the only other object in the solarsystem, in fact, that even comes close to earth#39; s size. Venus has a similar density, so it is proba-bly made of approximately the sanle stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. It isalso the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. In short,Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of "earth#39; s twin. "The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. Added to that is an atmospheric pres-sure about 90 times Earth#39; s: High overhead in the carbon dioxide that passes for air is alayer of clouds, perhaps IO to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid(H2SO4) . Water is all but nonexistent.Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radicallydifferent : It is not just an academic matter. For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory forresearchers studying the weather and climate of earth. It has no earth#39; s oceans, so the heat trans-port and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. In addition, the planet Venus takes 243 earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a moreleisurely , observable pace.16. Venus is similar to Earth in __A. size and densityB. distance from the sunC. having atmosphereD. all of the above17. The greatest value in studying Venus should be to__A. allow us to visit thereB. understand Earth betterC. find a new source of energyD. promote a new space program18. The main idea of this passage is about _A. problems of space travelB. scientific methods in space explorationC. the importance of Venus to EarthD. conditions on Venus2Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome#39; smain avenues.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are more women than men in Italy.B. In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.C. In Italy, women are still at a disadvantage in employment.D. In Italy, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.21.About 200 ,OOO women in Rome demonstrated for_A. more job opportunitiesB. a greater variety of jobsC. "equal job, equal pay"D. both A and B22.The best title for this passage would be_A. The Role of Women is SocietyB. Women Demonstrate for Equality in EmploymentC. Women as Self-enlployed ProfessionalsD. Women and the Jobs Market3"The old idea that talanted children "burn themselves out" in the early years, and, therefore, aresubjected to failure and at worst, mental illness if unfounded. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright kids isthat they are very likely to grow into bright adults.To find this out, l,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with theseresults : .On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they had as children. They were, as agroup, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married andseemed content with their lives.About 70 per cent had graduated from college , though only 30 per cent had graduated withhonors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.Of the men, 80 per cent were in one of the professions or inbusiness management orsemiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office , business , or professionaloccupations .The group had published 90 books and 1, 500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literarymagazines and had collected more than 100 patents.In a material way they did not do badly either. Average income was considerably higher a-mong the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their com-parative youth .In fact , far from being strange , most of the gifted were turning their early promise into prac-tical reality.23.

For each question there are fouranswers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put yourchoice in the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points) Text 1In May 1989, space shuttle "Atlantis" released in outer space the space probe "Megallan," which isnow on her 15-month andone-billion-kilometer flight to Venus. A new phase in space explorationhas begun.The planet Venus is only slightly smallerthan Earth; it is the only other object in the solar system,in fact, that even comes close to earth's size. Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made ofapproximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. It is also the closestplanet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. In short, Venus seems to justifyits long-held nickname of "earth's twin." The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. Added to that is an atmospheric pressureabout 90 times Earth's: High overhead in the carbon dioxide (CO2) that passes for air is a layer ofclouds, perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid (H2SO4).Water is all but nonexistent.Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radicallydifferent:It is not just an academic matter. For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory forresearchers studying the weather and climate of earth. It has no earth's oceans, so the heattransport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. In addition, the planet Venus takes 243earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at amore leisurely, observable pace.16. Venus is similar to Earth in ________.[A] size and density[B] distance from the sun[C] having atmosphere[D] all of the above17. The greatest value in studying Venus should be to ________.[A] allow us to visit there[B] understand Earth better[C] find a new source of energy[D] promote a new space program18. The main idea of this passage is about ________.[A] problems of space travel[B] scientific methods in space exploration[C] the importance of Venus to Earth[D] conditions on VenusText 2Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome's mainavenues. Italy's political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even morepuzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession thattook more than three hours to snake through central Rome.Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capitalfrom all over Italy to demonstrate for "a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a societywithout violence." So far, action to improve women's opportunities in employment has been theprovince of collective industrial bargaining. "But there is a growing awareness that this is notenough," says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers.Women, who constitute 52 per cent of Italy's population, today represent only 35 per cent of Italy'stotal workforce and 33 per cent of the totalnumber of Italians with jobs. However, their presencein the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services,next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statisticsalso show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and morewomen are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of the growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices havedisappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely businessconsiderations without caring if it is a man or a woman.Such changes are occurring in theprofessions too. The number of women doctors, dentists,lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes areimmediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as statepolice, railway workers and street cleaner. However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. Abreakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.19. The expression "snake through central Rome" probably means "to move ________[A] quietly through central Rome."[B] violently through central Rome."[C] in a long winding line through central Rome."[D] at a leisurely pace through central Rome."20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] There are more women than men in Italy.[B] In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.[C] In Italy, women are still at a disadvantage in employment.[D] In Italy, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.21. About 200,000 women in Rome demonstrated for ________.[A] more job opportunities[B] a greater variety of jobs[C] "equal job, equal pay"[D] both A and B22. The best title for this passage would be ________.[A] The Role of Women is Society[B] Women Demonstrate for Equality in Employment[C] Women as Self-employed Professionals[D] Women and the Jobs MarketText 3The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years, and, therefore, aresubjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is unfounded. As a matter of fact, the outstandingthing that happens to bright kids is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.To find this out, l, 500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results:On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they had as children. They were, as a group, ingood health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married and seemed contentwith their lives.About 70 per cent had graduated from college, though only 30 per cent had graduated withhonors.A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. Thewomen who had remained single had office, business, or professional occupations.The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literarymagazines and had collected more than 100 patents.In a material way they did not do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among thegifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth.In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise intopracticalreality.23. The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years is ________.[A] true in all senses[B] refuted by the author[C] medically proven[D] a belief of the author24. The survey of bright children was made to ________.[A] find out what had happened to talented children when they became adults[B] prove that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years[C] discover the percentage of those mentally ill among the gifted[D] prove that talented children never burn themselves out25. Intelligence tests showed that________.[A] bright children were unlikely to bementally healthy[B] between childhood and adulthood there was a considerable loss of intelligence [C] talented children were most likely to become gifted adults[D] when talented children grew into adults, they made low scoresSection III Close TestFor each numbered blank in the following passage there are four choices labeled [A], [B], [C], and[D], choose the best one and put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET.

1990-大学英语六级真题试卷及参考答案

1990-2010年大学英语六级真题试卷及参考答案2000-2003年考题分析2000. 3实词: 11v. 4 (3个单词，1个短语)n. 4 (2个单词，2个搭配)adj. 3虚词: 7conj.: 1prep.:4 (1个单词, 3个词组)adv.: 2语法: 2(31,33)单词:短语：12:62001.3实词：19v.: 10 (3个单词, 6个短语)n.: 3adj.: 6 (5个单词,1个短语)虚词: 1 (adv.)单词:短语：13:72002.3实词:16v.: 8 (4个单词,4个短语)n.:4 (2个单词,2个搭配)adj.:4虚词: 4 (介词短语)单词:短语：10:102002.10实词: 19v.: 9 (5个单词,4个短语)n.: 6adj.: 4虚词: 1 (介词短语)单词:短语：15:5一、动词动词及短语动词是博士生入学英语考试词汇部分的一个重要测试项目。

该项目对考生的测试点包括：1)动词的认知能力和辨别能力；2)动词用法的掌握程度；3)动词搭配关系的熟练程度。

据初步统计在硕士研究生入学考试5500个词汇中，大约有五分之一是动词及动词词组。

因此，掌握好这批词汇直接关系到能否通过博士生入学英语词汇部分的考试。

在动词部分中，考生首先应该具备较好的认知能力，即遇见一个动词后，能够较快地确定它的前两个或前三个词义。

如：evolve v.，第一个词义是“使发展”，第二个词义是“使进化”，第三个词义是“推论”。

在考试中，检查考生这一能力的题是比较多的；考生应该能够根据上下文确定动词的有关词义。

在具备认知能力的基础上，考生还需掌握这些词汇的基本用法。

如：forbid v. 后面不能用to smoke，只能用动词+ing的形式，即smoking；Occur v. (发生)，只能用于主动语态，不能以被动的形式出现。

最后，还要熟悉动词的基本搭配关系。

如：concentrate 和associate两个动词，其后面的介词一般只能是on和with。
