Desegregation of higher education has producedsignificant improvem ents in education for allAmericans.『Theopening up of segregated collegesand universities to students of all racial and ethnicbackgrounds came aboutonly as the result of m anyforms of prolonged struggle in the courts, in thestreets, and on c ampuses.』①The efforts to open up higher educational opportunities for blacks in historicallywhite institutions also ledto expanded opportunities for low er- and middle-classwhite students, especially at institutions that ado pted“open admissions” policies ofaccepting all high school graduates. Between 1960 and 1981, while the numberofblack students between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four enrolled in collegeincreased fr om 134,000 to over750,000, the number of white students in the sa meage group grew from just over 2 million to over 6.5 million. In 196 0 more than one-half of blacks attending colleges were enrolled at hi storically black institutions.By1981 that percentage had declined to just 18 per cent. Most of the blacks enrolledin traditionally whiteinstitutions, however, were at tw o-year community colleges or atfour-year public colleges that were b ecomingor had already become predominantlyblack.『Desegregation of higher education produced difficult problems for historicallyblack institutions that hadalways struggled under great har dship to provide highereducation for blacks when blacks had been ba rred fromwhite institutions. 』②Historically black institutions, however, have continued to produce a highpercentageof the most educationally and professionally successf ul blacks in theUnited States. Meanwhile, blacks inpredominantly whit e institutions have achievednotable progress, but they have also enc ountered variousproblems.College completion rates for young blacks have increased substantiall y, but they areonly about one-half therate for young whites. In 1981, for example,11.5 percent ofblacks aged twenty-five to twenty-nine and 21.3perce nt of whites in that age grouphad completed college.Blacks continue to be substantially underrepresented in graduate and professionalschools in the United States.During the early 1980s blac ks comprised about 6percent of students in graduate school and med ical school andabout 4 percent of alllaw school students. Blacks also r eceived about 4 percent of all doctoral degrees,butover half of these degrees were conferred in one discipline—education. Ingeneral, since the cry of “reversediscrimination” was raised during the middle of the1970s, black progress in higher education has been slowedand perh aps evenreversed.1.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Desegregation of higher education produced many difficulties for h istorically blackinstitutions.B. The opening up of higher educational opportunities for blacks led t o expandedopportunities for whitestudents too.C. Blacks have been historically repressed in graduate and profession al schools in theUnited States.D. Desegregation of higher education has brought more higher educa tionalopportunities for black and whitestudents alike.2.What can be inferred about the opening up of segregated colleges anduniversities?A. It came about as the result of a surge in the number of students e nrolled inhigher institutions.B. It came about as the result of time-long resistance against racial d iscriminationagainst blacks.C. It came about when the cry of “reverse discrimination” was raised.D. It came about when efforts to expand educational opportunities fo r lower- andmiddle-class black people wereintensified.3.Which of the following is NOT one of the consequences of the open ing up ofsegregated colleges anduniversities?A.

XX年6月大学英语四级仔细阅读练习题附答案学必求其心得，业必贵其专精。

以下是为大家搜索的xx年6月大学仔细阅读练习题附答案，希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!更多精彩内容请及时关注我们!Some of the world’s most significant problems neverhit headlines.One example es from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops.A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is ourring.The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that tood place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world’s most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Theirability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, aounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughted up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.61.What does the author try to draw attention to?A)Food riots and hunger in the world. C)The decline of the grain yield growth.B)News headlines in the leading media. D)The food supply in populous countries.62.Why does the author mention India and China in particular?A)Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.B)Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.C)Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.D)Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.63.What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?A)They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.B)They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.C)They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.D)They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.64.What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the ing decades?A)The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.B)The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.C)The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.D)The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.65.How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?A)It is built on the findings of a new study.B)It is based on a doubtful assumption.C)It is backed by strong evidence.D)It is open to further discussion.。

2016年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题及答案解析DThe results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people's minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse."These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one's abilities，may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no dispases," Salthouse said in a news release.The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years.The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的)changes in mental function, and involve solving Puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols.In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力)generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s.The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia(痴呆),according to the researchers."By following individuals over time," Salthouse said, "we gain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discover ways to slow the rate of decline."The researchers are currently analyzing, the study participants' health and lifestyle to see which factors might influence age-related cognitive changes.47.【题干】What is the common view of mental function?【选项】A.It varies from person to person.C.It gradually expands with age.B.It weakens in one's later years.D.It indicates one's health condition.【答案】B【解析】Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age，but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.48.【题干】What does the new study find about mental functions?【选项】A.Some diseases inevitably lead to their decline.B.They reach a peak at the age of 20 for most people.C.They are closely related to physical' and mental exercise.D.Some of them begin to decline when people are still young.【答案】D【解析】but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.49.【题干】What does Timothy Salthouse say about people's minds in most cases?【选项】A.They tend to decline in people's later years.B.Their flexibility determines one's abilities.C.They function quite well even in old age.D.Their functioning is still a puzzle to be solved.【答案】C【解析】Most people's minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.50.【题干】Although people's minds may function less flexibly as they age, they_____.【选项】A.may be better at solving puzzlesB.can memorize things with more easeC.may have greater facility in abstract reasoningD.can put what they have learnt into more effective use【答案】D【解析】"These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one's abilities，may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no dispases," Salthouse said ina news release.51.【题干】According to Salthouse, their study may help us_____.【选项】A.find ways to slow down our mental decline6.find ways to boost our memoriesC.understand the complex process of mental functioningD.understand the relation between physical and mental health【答案】A【解析】Salthouse said, "we gain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discover ways to slow the rate of decline."Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The most important thing in the news last week was the rising discussion in Nashville about the educational needs of children. The shorthand(简写)educators use for this is "pre-K"—meaning instruction before kindergarten—and the big idea is to prepare 4-year-olds and even younger kids to be ready to succeed on their K-12 journey.But it gets complicated. The concept has multiple forms, and scholars and policymakers argue about the shape, scope and cost of the ideal program.The federal Head Start program, launched 50 years ago, has served more than 30 million children. It was based on concepts developed at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College by Susan Gray, the legendary pioneer in early childhood education research.A new Peabody study of the Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K program reports that pre-K works, but the gains are not sustained through the third grade. It seems to me this highlights quality issues in elementary schools more thanpre-K, and indicates longer-term success must connect pre-K with all the other issues, related to educating a child.Pre-K is controversial. Some critics say it is a luxury and shouldn't be free to families able to pay. Pre-K advocates insist it is proven and will succeed if integrated with the rest of the child's schooling. I lean toward the latter view.This is, in any case, the right conversation to be having now as Mayor Megan Barry takes office. She was the first candidate to speak out for strong pre-K programming. The important thing is for all of us to keep in mind the real goal and the longer, bigger picture.The weight of the evidence is on the side of pre-K that early intervention (干预)works.

2016年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题及答案解析Section CPassage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age，but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solving—started to dull as early as age 27.Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37.On the other hand, indicators of a person's accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age, according to findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging.The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people's minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse."These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one's abilities，may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no dispases," Salthouse said in a news release.The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years.The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的)changes in mental function, and involve solving Puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols.In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力)generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s.The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia(痴呆),according to the researchers."By following individuals over time," Salthouse said, "we gain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discover ways to slow the rate of decline."The researchers are currently analyzing, the study participants' health and lifestyle to see which factors might influence age-related cognitive changes.47.【题干】What is the common view of mental function【选项】A.It varies from person to person.C.It gradually expands with age.B.It weakens in one's later years.D.It indicates one's health condition.【答案】B【解析】Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age，but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.48.【题干】What does the new study find about mental functions【选项】A.Some diseases inevitably lead to their decline.B.They reach a peak at the age of 20 for most people.C.They are closely related to physical' and mental exercise.D.Some of them begin to decline when people are still young.【答案】D【解析】but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.49.【题干】What does Timothy Salthouse say about people's minds in most cases【选项】A.They tend to decline in people's later years.B.Their flexibility determines one's abilities.C.They function quite well even in old age.D.Their functioning is still a puzzle to be solved.【答案】C【解析】Most people's minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.50.【题干】Although people's minds may function less flexibly as they age, they_____.【选项】A.may be better at solving puzzlesB.can memorize things with more easeC.may have greater facility in abstract reasoningD.can put what they have learnt into more effective use【答案】D【解析】"These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one's abilities，may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no dispases," Salthouse said ina news release.51.【题干】According to Salthouse, their study may help us_____.【选项】A.find ways to slow down our mental decline6.find ways to boost our memoriesC.understand the complex process of mental functioningD.understand the relation between physical and mental health【答案】A【解析】Salthouse said, "we gain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discover ways to slow the rate of decline."Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The most important thing in the news last week was the rising discussion in Nashville about the educational needs of children.

2016年英语六级仔细阅读练习题及解析

2016年英语六级仔细阅读练习题及解析Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the followingpassage.They're still kids, and although there's a lot thatthe experts don't yet know about them, one thingthey do agree on is that what kids use and expectfrom their world has changed rapidly. And it's allbecause of technology.To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them,their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy (懂技术的) Millennialelders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblingsdon't quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassingsensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation.The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologistLarry Rosen of California State University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in anew book, Rewired: Understanding the ingeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month.Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is sodifferent from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting theNet Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbedthe "ingeneration"."The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it's also a mind-set, and the mind-set goeswith the little ‘i', which I'm talking to stand for 'individualized'," Rosen says. "Everything isdefined and individualized to ‘me'. My music choices are defined to ' me'. What I watch onTV any instant is defined to ‘me'. " H e says the iGeneration includes today's teens and middle-school ers, but it's too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger.Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. "If they can think of it, somebodyprobably has or will invent it," he says. "They expect innovation."They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use "will be able to be tailoredto their own needs and wishes and desires."Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allowthem to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected-even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned.Many researchers are trying t6 determine whether technology somehow causes the brainsof young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform morepoorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens survive distractions much betterthan we would predict by their age and their brain development. "Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educationalsystem has to change significantly."The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential(指数的), and werun the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how theythink," Rosen says."We have to give them options because they want their world individualized. "56. Compared with their Millennial elders, the iGeneration kidsmunicate with others by high-tech methods continuallyB.prefer to live a virtual life than a real oneC.are equipped with more modem digital techniquesD.know more on technology than their elders57. Why did Larry Rosen name the new generation as iGeneration?A.Because this generation is featured by the use of personal high-tech devices.B.Because this generation stresses on an individualized style of life.C.Because it is the author himself who has discovered the new generation.D.Because it's a mind-set generation instead of an age-set one.58. Which of the following is true about the iGeneration according to Rosen?A.This generation is crazy about inventing and creating new things.B.Everything must be adapted to the peculiar need of the generation.C.This generation catches up with the development of technology.D.High-tech such as wireless devices goes with the generation.59. Rosen's findings suggest that technologyA.has an obvious effect on the function of iGeneration's brain developmentB.has greatly affected the iGeneration's behaviors and academic performanceC.has no significantly negative effect on iGeneration's mental and intellectualdevelopmentD.has caused distraction problems on iGeneration which affect their daily performance60. According to the passage, education has to __A.adapt its system to the need of the new generatione more technologies to cater for the iGenerationC.risk its system to certain extent for the iGenerationD.be conducted online for iGeneration's individualized needPassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Small increases in temperature found to add power to storms in the Atlantic.Hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean are expected to gain considerable strength asthe global temperature continues to rise, a new study has found.Using modeling data focused on the conditions in which hurricanes form, a group ofinternational researchers based at Beijing Normal University found that for every 1.8°F( 1℃ )rise of the Earth's temperature, the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic that are as strong orstronger than Hurricane Katrina will increase twofold to sevenfold.Hurricane strength is directly related to the heat of the water where the storm forms. Morewater vapor in the air from evaporating ocean water adds fuel to hurricanes that build strengthand head toward land.Hurricane Katrina is widely considered the measure for a destructive storm, holding themaximum Category 5 designation for a full 24 hours in late August 2005. It lost strength as itpassed over the Florida peninsula, but gained destructive power fight before colliding withNew Orleans, killing more than 200 people and causing $ 80 billion in damage.The study points to a gradual increase of Katrina-like events. The warming experiencedover the 20th century doubled the number of such debilitating(将人类摧垮的)storms. But theongoing warming of the planet into the 21st century could increase the frequency of theworst kinds of storms by 700 percent, threatening coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean withmuitiple Category 5 storms every year."Our results support the idea that changes in regional sea surface temperatures is theprimary cause of hurricane variability," said Aslak Girnstead, a researcher with the Center forIce and Climate at the University of Copenhagen. The large impact of small sea-surfacetemperature increases was more than Girustead and his colleagues had anticipated. Theentire study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Global temperatures have steadily increased, making the past decade the warmest onrecord. Earlier this year, climate researchers reported that the Earth's temperatures have risenfaster in the last century than at any point since the last ice age, 11,300 years ago. Theprimary cause, a couseusus of scientists has said, is the rising emissions of greenhousegases like carbon dioxide and methane.Past hurricanes have supported the study's finding that global temperature rise is linkedto more destructive storms. According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research, whilethe frequency of storms doesn't appear to have increased, the percentage of strong ones hasrisen sharply over the past few decades. The trend may be similar further back in time, butcomprehensive hurricane data doesn't exist.61. According to the team of international researchers based at Beijing Normal University,the rise of the Earth's temperature is likely to causeA.the coming of ice ageC.more Katrina-like or worse hurricanesB.less intense hurricanesD.more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere62. The ocean water in the region where the storm formsA.is heating the hurricanesB.evaporates and becomes fuelC.heads toward landD.turns into water vapor that makes hurricanes stronger63. Which of the following statement is TRUE about Hurricane Katrina?A.It did not lose its strength as it moved.B.It claimed over 200 people's lives.C.It caused 80 billion dollars loss for Florida peninsula.D.It lasted for full 24 hours.64. What result can regional sea surface temperature changes produce?A.Hurricane changes.C.Global warming.B.Increasing greenhouse gas emissions.D.Destructive hurricanes.65. It can be inferred from the passage thatA.there is no link between greenhouse gas emissions and destructive stormsB.reduction of greenhouse gas emissions may reduce destructive stormsC.the higher percentage of strong ones rose as more hurricanes appearedD.past records on hurricanes included everything needed。

6月大学英语四级《仔细阅读》练习题2016年6月大学英语四级《仔细阅读》练习题英语四级阅读在考试中占比较重，也是考生复习时最喜欢练习的题目，新一轮四六级复习大幕拉开了，考试吧英语四六级考试网整理了“大学英语四级《仔细阅读》练习题”，赶快练一练吧!Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls (民意测验) sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionaterelationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.21. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. happiness is predictableB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD. happiness is not necessarily connected to one's situation in society22. People with college education______.A. are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolB. are much happier than those who did not graduate from high schoolC. have less opportunity to control their livesD. have more opportunity to control their lives23. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon______.A. a happy childhoodB. great wealthC. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD. a college degree24. Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness? A. Being exceptionally good-looking.B. Having a loving, affectionate relationship.C. Having a good paying job.D. Meeting lots of people.25. Which of the following attitudes or feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?A. Having self-esteem.B. Being sure of keeping everything they already have.C.

2016年6月大学英语四级《仔细阅读》练习题(12)

2016年6月大学英语四级《仔细阅读》练习题(12) Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two stages—clinical or (emporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived (复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the disintegration(解体) of vital cells and tissues. Death is then irreversible and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so (hat the organism can be revived before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic(麻醉的) sleep. By slowing down the body's metabolism(新成代谢) , cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientists put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an its body. The monkey's blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped; clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into its body in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes the monkey's heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous breathing began, and after fourhours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.26. This passage focuses on_______.A. the difference between biological and clinical death.B. the process of dyingC. prolonging the period of clinical deathD. the nature of clinical death27. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is thatA. modem scientists divide the process of dying into clinical and biological deathB. biological death occurs when vital organs have suffered permanent damageC. scientists have found a way to prolong the period of clinical deathD. cooling delays the processes leading to biological death28. One characteristic of clinical death is______.A. lasting damage to the lungsB. destruction of the tissuesC. temporary non-functioning of the heartD. that the organism cannot be revived29. According to the passage, cooling an organismA. speeds up the body's metabolismB. slows disintegration of body tissuesC. prevents damage to organsD. revives damaged organs30. One possible benefit of the experiment discussed in the passage is______.A. less crowded citiesB. victory over deathC. protection against fatal injuryD. fewer deaths from heart attacks参考答案：26. C 27.

2016英语四级考试仔细阅读练习题（14）

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 One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,” the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker. Frito-Lay. Thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip. Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow, the company has to look overseas. Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative (创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business. With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo (标识). The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, would help facilitate the company’s global expansion. The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world.“We’re making products in those countries, we’re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive. 21. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marking that ________. A) potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market B) their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales C) the light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips D) people the world over enjoy eating their company’s potato chips 22. What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2? A) Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers. B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker. C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company. D) It needs to turn to the word market for development. 23. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that ________. A) consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands B) local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands C) products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profits D) products identified as American will have promising market value 24. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned? A) To suit changing tastes of young consumers. B) To promote the company’s strategy of globalization. C) To change the company’s long-held marketing image. D) To compete with other American chip producers. 25. Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market ________. A) won’t affect the eating habits of the local people B) will lead to economic imperialism来源： C) will be in the interest of the local people D) won’t spoil the taste of their chips Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent sail. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will. “ Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能⼒的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for then to solve this problem. The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing yp a $9.8 million loan that enabled thepayroll (⼯资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38 schools. At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs. Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper. “We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.” At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum (论坛)。

2016年英语四级阅读理解仔细阅读模拟试题(一)Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A ),B., C.and D ). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.People's tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen to their favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were innumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves broke, with no money left,and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open un-spoilt country, where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. In the national parksespecially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have been created; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lying inland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance waller and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.Yet few people make full use of the national parks established for everyone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motor out to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by ( 英国的路旁停车带 ). A picnic basket is produced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove. They then settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparently their idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and amongst the country sights and sounds without having to wall a yard. They seem almost to like to hear and to smell the traffic.56. In Britain it is very risky to __________.A.go with a single railway ticketB.listen to pop-music at the festivalC. sleep in the openD.pack together in crowds57. At the end of the festival, many young fans__________.A.were arrested by the policeB.had spent most of their moneyC.were sleeping outD.became quite penniless58. Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large__________.A.tracks through the open countryB.areas of country without soilC.areas of countryside not developedD.expanses of land where nobody works59. Public pathways are created for people to__________.mute to workB.enjoy long-distance walkingC. wall to maritime countiesD.visit the historic or scenic sites60. Family groups nowadays like to__________.A.have meals out of doors by the road-sideB.go for a walk away from homeC.drive out past the beautiful placesD.hear and smell the animalsPassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesnot have what he wants, or does not have eactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else--he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. "。

While here’s on question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they stress that you can manage also boost immune (免疫的') function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects through a gory (血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that’s the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.“Sustained stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity, “It’s the occasionalb urst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”1. The passage is mainly about ________.A) the benefits of manageable stressB) how to cope with stress effectivelyC) how to avoid stressfulD) the effect of stress harmonies on memory2. The word “shun” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means ________.A) cut down onB) stay away fromC) run out ofD) put up with3. We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that ________.A) people under stress tend to have a poor memoryB) people who can’t get their job done experience more stressC) doing challenging work may be good for one’s healthD) stress will weaken the body’s defense against germs4. In the experiment described in Paragraph 3, the video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody because ________.A) the video was not enjoyable at allB) the outcome was beyond their controlC) they knew little about surgical proceduresD) they felt no pressure while watching the video5. Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University believes that________.A) a person’s memory is determined by the level of hormones in his bodyB) stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brainC) short bursts of stress hormones enhance memory functionD) a person’s memory improves with c ontinued experience of stressPassage TwoThere are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual— the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped(不利) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster(抚养) homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmentaldifference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.6. This selection can best be titled____________.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the Brain Influences Intelligence7. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _______.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC. environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligenceD. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence8. According to the passage, the average I. Q. is_______.A. 85B. 100C. 110D. 1259. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that_______.A. individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same levelB. an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environmentC. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain10. This passage suggests that an individual's I. Q. _______.A. can be predicted at birthB. stays the same throughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by his childhood【2016年6月英语四级仔细阅读练习试题】。

Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own, 26 to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a 27 of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic 28 , investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school, 29 in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to 30on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S.31 in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be 32 exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood33 to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are 34 to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve 35 and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around, they may act ually be exercising their brains as well.A)attendanceB)consequentlyC)currentD)depressingE)droppingF)essentialG)feasibleH)flowI)moodJ)mutuallyK)particularlyL)performanceM)reviewN)surviveO)tend参考答案26. 正确选项 O tend27. 正确选项 M review28. 正确选项 L performance29. 正确选项 K particularly30. 正确选项 N survive31. 正确选项 E dropping32. 正确选项 J mutually33. 正确选项 H flow34. 正确选项 F essential35. 正确选项 I mood。
