英语六级考试模拟试题集与解析
英语六级考试模拟试题集与解析一. 试题集Part I: Reading Comprehension (共20题)Directions: In this part, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements. Each passage is followed by four alternative answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Humans have long recognized that certain animals are remarkable problem solvers. They are able to find their way across vast distances in unfamiliar territories, use tools to obtain food, and even recognize themselves in a mirror. Apart from humans, however, no animals can communicate detailed information about their experience through language.To better understand how animals communicate, researchers have started investigating the vocal signals of non-human primates. Surprisingly, they found that some primate species can combine different signals to create new meaning. For example, they can produce a sequence of alarm calls to indicate the type of predator and even the direction in which it is approaching. This discovery challenges the belief that only humans possess the ability to create new meaning through language.In addition to vocal signals, non-human primates also use body language for communication purposes. Gestures such as pointing and beckoning canconvey information efficiently, especially when other individuals are unable to see the object of interest. Furthermore, some researchers argue that syntax (语法) may exist in non-human primate communication. Observations have shown that certain gestures are combined in a specific order, suggesting that the arrangement of signals follows a certain logical pattern.These findings are crucial in understanding the evolution of language in our species. By examining communication systems in other animals, we can gain insights into how our own language abilities developed over time. Moreover, the study of non-human primate communication highlights the importance of animal welfare, as it reminds us that these creatures possess complex social systems and cognitive abilities that warrant our consideration and protection.1.

大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案
xx年大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案Part Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Joblessness is far more than an economic misfortune.It can be a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.It can cause illness,divide families and create a downward spiral of feelings of worthlessness and lack of selfesteem.Aording to research done by M. Harvery Brenner,associate professor of health at Johns Hopkins University,every 1% increase in the unemployment rate translates into 37,000 deaths over the next 6years,including over 20,000 deaths from heart attcks,900 suicides and nearly 500 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver.In addition,Brenner estimates that 7,500 unemployed or their families will be admitted to prison after mitting a crime or to a mental hospital.“The impact goes well beyond the individual who loses a job,”saidBrenner.“stress caused by economic factors affects our national life at every level.”Men who have been socialized as the family breadwinner are especially hard hit by unemployment.They suffer greater depression and anxiety and have a higher possibility of psychotic behavior than men who are employed.“Nine months seems to be a crucial point when hope and patience give out,”said a leading psychologist.After that,“illness,suicide,alcoholism,divorce,and even crime grow at epidemic rate.”Left without a job,many workers feel they have nothing to look forward to.They miss their co?workers and the routine of going to work.For many,the sense of hopelessness grows worse every time they are rejected for a new job.When this happens often enough,the rejection unemployed workers feel may be exacerbated if some friends and neighbors avoid them as if they had a contagious disease.21. Aording to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.Joblessness is an economic misfortune.B. Joblessness is a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.C.Joblessness can cause the unemployed to mit suicide.D.Joblessness is a contagious disease.22. In what way does the unemployment affect the unemplayed and their families?A.It makes them ill.B.It causes the divorce.C.it creates a feeling of worthlessness and lack of self?esteem.D.All above.23. Aording to M. Harvey Brenner's research,if there is 1% increase in the unemployment rate,how many people will die from cirrhosis of the liver?A.37,000B.20,000C.900D.50024. If a man has been unemployed for a year,he .A.will be happy and relieved.B.will be hopeless.C.will lose patienceD.both B and C25. What is the best title for this passage?A.An Economic Misfortune.B.The Harm of JoblessnessC.An Scientific ResearchD.How to Treat The UnemployedQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Ironically,in the United States,a country of immigrants,prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems.There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each sueeding group.As each group became more financially suessful,and more powerful,they excluded newers from full participation in the society.Prejudice and discrimination are part of our history,however,this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust than with black Americans.Blacks had distinct disadvantages.For the mostpart,they came to the “land of opportunity”as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions.Unlike most European immigrants,blacks did not have the protection of a support group;sometimesslave?owners separated members of the same family.They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color.It was difficult for them to adapt to the American culture.Even after they became free people,they still experienced discrimination in employment,housing,education,and even in publicfacilities,such as restroom.26. Prejudice and discrimination.A.were goneB.have been existing in the American societyC.don't exclude new immigrants from participation in the societyD.are mainly caused by the slavery27. Established and sueeding immigrants.A.were reluctant to help newers to adapt to the new surroundingsB.were willing to support newers financiallyC.were great helpers of slaves and IndiansD.were treated unequally by American Indians28. One of the reasons why black Americans could not easily mix in American society is.A.that most Americans are immigrantsB.due to their skin colorC.that they speak their language differently from AmericansD.that they were free to keep their heritage29. The author specifically mentions that.A.black Americans are most prejudicially treated in the U.S.B.discrimination in the South was not more obvious than in the NorthC.the situation of blacks is almost the same today asit was in the 1930sD. after blacks became free people they didn't experience discrimination in employment and public facilities30. The attitude of the author is.A.favorableB.praisingC.indifferentD.sarcasticQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville,England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 fromNazi Germany,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sportsfor the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings things developed fast.Teams now e from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome.Now,every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held,if possible,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at StokeMandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries tookpart.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great suess in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoysports.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed toconvince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.31. The first games for the disabled were heldafter Sir Ludwing Guttmann arrived in England.A.50 yearsB.21 yearsC.9 yearsD.4 years32. Beside Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in.A.New YorkB.LondonC.RomeD.Los Angeles33.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is weled by the British.35. From the passage we may conclude that writer is.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favor of holding the game for the disabledQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea.He was Prince Henry of Portugal,the younger son of the Partuguese king and an English princess. Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century.As a boy he became devoted to the sea,and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them.In 1416,when he was twenty?two,Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers,Italian and Spanish sailors,and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew to use the crude pass of the day and could improve it.Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to hug the shore.The caravel carried more sail and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made,yet was tough enough to withstand gales at sea.He also developed the carrack,which was a slower ship,but one that was capable of carrying more cargo. To Prince Henry the world owes credit for development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible.He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.36.

大学英语六级模拟题及答案解析
大学英语六级模拟题及答案解析Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.?Passage 1Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:?In a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices, such as the tariff or export subsidy. The new protectionism is much broader than this: it includes interventions into foreign trade but is not limited to them. The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international trade. The emphasis on trade is still there, thus came the term “protection.” But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations.?The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy. Jab Tumiler writes, “The old protectionism…coexisted, without any apparent intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism — indeed, protectionists as well as (if not more than) free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策). Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is anexpression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction.”?It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a market economy, economic change of various colorsimplies redistribution of resources and incomes. The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper. Therefore, the government intervenes to bring about a more desired result.?The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal. In Great Brita in this is only somewhat less true. Government traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe. It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.?The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance, minimum wage laws, and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene. ?11.This passage is primarily concerned with discussing ____.?A) the definition of the new protectionism?B) the difference between new and old protectionism?C) the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world?D) the significance of the welfare state?12.What does the phrase “stood for(Para.2)” mean??A) represented. B) held out. ?C) tolerated. D) disapproved. ?13.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned in this passage??A) Free education is available to a child.B) Laws are made to fix the minimum wage.?C) A jobless person can be insured.D) There are regulations for rent.?14.Which of the following inferences is true, according to this passage?A) The economy developed faster in welfare states than in non-welfare states.?B) In the 1930s, protectionism began to rise.?C) The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest.?D) Government plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than in Great Britain.?15.The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions??A) When did the new protectionism arise??B) Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries??C) Does the American government play a more active role in economic life than the British government??D) Why does the government intervene in economic lifePassage 2 ?Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:?When I was growing up, the whole world was Jewish. The heroes were Jewish and the villains were Jewish. The landlord, the doctor, the grocer, your best friend, the village idiot, and theneighborhood bully: all Jewish. We were working class and immigrants as well, but that just come with the territory. Essentially we were Jews on the streets of New York. We learned to be kind, cruel, and smart and feeling in a mixture of language and gesture that was part street slang, part grade-school English, part kitchen Yiddish.?One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncle’s car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, “That’s all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here.” In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a humiliated man, without power or standing.?When I was sixteen a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote “Anold Brown” instead of “Anold Braunowiitz.” The news swept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasn’t standstill.Thing felt lively and active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were going to experience challenges. That’s what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.?But whom exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arinie, not Selma. I mean mybrother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. “The girls goes to college, too,” she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my brother’s going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me? From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would break the perils of class and race, and some how I’d be there alongside him.?16.In the passage, we can find the author was____.?A) quite satisfied with her life?B) a poor Jewish girl?C) born in a middle-class family?D) a resident in a rich area in New York?17.Why did the author’s father say “Nothing but a few Jews in here”?A) He was asking for help.?B) He was complaining.?C) He was reassuring.?D) He wanted to know why their car was sideswiped.?18.Selma Shapiro had her nose straightened because she wanted ____.?A) to look her best?B) to find a new job in the neighborhood?C) to live a new life in other places?D) to marry very soon?19.Anold Brown changed his name because ____.?A) there was racial discrimination in employment?B) Brown was just the same as Braunowiitz?C) it was easy to write?D) Brown sounds better?20.From the passage we can infer that ____.?A) the Jews were satisfied with their life in the Bronx?B) the Jewish immigrants could not be rich?C) all the immigrants were very poor?D) the young Jews didn’t accept the stern reality??Passage 3Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?It is all very well to blame traffic congestion, the cost of petrol and the hectic pace modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again to, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another kettle of fish altogether. You might tolerate the odd road hog, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” ca mpaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.?Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most levelheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to retaliate when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little courtesy goes along way towards relieving the tensions and frustrations of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Manydrivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.?Contrary to general opinion, young drivers (especially sports-car owners, who take pride in their driving) have better manners than their seniors. But this attitude is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any quarter. This may be a commendable trait on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.?Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signal cars to over take when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Their drivers couldn’t be bothered to select a lower gear. Others, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps.“They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warni ng.” Slanting matches and even punch-ups are quite common. It can’t be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used: we can then call our dual carriageways duel carriageways, and solve a spelling problem in the process.?Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver maybe, he can’t be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.?21.What does the author mean by “another kettle of fish altogether” (Para.1, sentence 3)??A) completely another awkward and difficult situation?B) another net of fish put together?C) completely another kind of situation?D) completely another kind of driver ?22.The phrase “get completely out of hand” (Para. 1, last sentence) stands for ____.?A) get without giving it much thought completely?B) get out of order completely?C) get out of control completely?D) get ready completely?23.Road courtesy is good sense because ____.?A) it minimizes friction?B) most drivers never make acknowledgements?C) it cuts down the number of drivers?D) most drivers will hit you if offended?24.A common example of bad manners on the roads is ____.?A) not signaling when overtaking?B) that they couldn’t be bothered to select a lower gear ?C) preventing other vehicles from overtaking?D) making holes in the roads on purpose?25.According to the author, discourtesy on the roads is caused primarily by ____.?A) too many vehicles on the roads?B) the way people have to rush around nowadays?C) the aggressiveness of most drivers?D) too many pedestrians walking aboutPassage 4?Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?Unlike any earlier building complex anywhere in the world, Rockefeller in New York City was built, not as a place where people could live, but as a city in which they could work. It was the biggest building project of its kind, a city within a city, and of the forerunner of projects that have sprung up all over the world. 30 architects, 120 draftsmen, and hundreds of other artistsand technicians were employed just to draft the plans. Before the buildings could be erected,229 old buildings had to be emptied of 4,000 tenants and razed. Just to buy up the leases took over two years and cost over $6,000,000. The unusual shape and setbacks of the 70-story RCA building resulted primarily from practical considerations such as lighting, the movement of people and the building’s services. The lower concourse and basement level were set aside for shops. A sunken plaza, complete with gardens and fountains, was designed to provide access to these shops. Today the plaza, which is used for ice-skating in winter and dining and dancing in summer , is one of the centre’s most popular attractions.?26.Which of the following statement is the main idea of the passage??A) The pleasant work environment.?B) The purpose of the RCA building setbacks.?C) The recreational facilities at Rockefeller.?D) The architectural significance of Rockefeller centre.?27.From the passage we know, Rockefeller centre was originally planed to serve as what kind of complex??A) Commercial. B) Recreational.?C) Housing.D) T ourist.?28.Which of the following is true about Rockefeller centre??A) It was patterned after an ancient design.?B) It has been imitated numerous times. ?C) All shopkeepers were required to take two-year leases.?D) 4,000 tenants are located in the complex.?29.According to the passage, what does the shape of the RCA building reflect ??A) Architectural creativity.B) City regulation.?C) Practical considerations.D) Decreased space needs.?30.The sunken plaza at Rockefeller centre was originally designed as ____.?A) an entrance of shopsB) an ice-skating rink?C) a restaurantD) a tourist attraction??Part ⅢVocabulary (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

【参考范⽂】The Key to Balance: ConcentrationNowadays, it has become a consensus that we need to strike a balance between work and leisure so as to lead a healthy life. However, a new question arises: how can we achieve this purpose? My answer is concentration. (1) To briefly state, we should keep focused whenever we work or rest.(2) Focusing on work during working hours enables us to improve our efficiency. Sometimes we are busy only because we work inefficiently and let work pile up. If we can concentrate on work during working hours, we’ll find most of the work, if not all, can be finished quickly. Thus, the resting hours can be saved(3) Moreover, keeping focused while resting will improve the rest quality. Itseems that we are always complaining holidays are too short to ensure good rest. However, chances are that we never feel relaxed because we are often bothered by work even during holidays. As long as we concentrate on the leisure time, focusing on our family, friends, nature, we can feel really refreshed, which also afterwards benefits our work.(4) All in all, to keep focused is the magic of rendering our life a benign cycle. So keep focused from now on.【⾏⽂点评】(1) 开门见⼭，表明观点：平衡⼯作与休闲的关键就是要集中注意⼒。

英语六级考试模拟试题集与详细解析精选模拟试题附带详细解析1. Passage 1It is estimated that by the end of this century, Asian Americans, numbering well over 12 million, will constitute the largest and fastest-growing racial minority in the United States. Despite their increasing numbers, Asian Americans are often depicted as a silent and invisible minority in mainstream American society. This stereotype, however, is a gross misrepresentation of the Asian American population.Asian Americans are a diverse group, originating from over 40 different countries in Asia, each with their own unique culture, language, and history. Yet, they share certain common experiences in their immigration journey to the United States. Many Asian Americans have faced challenges in adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and finding employment. However, they have also made significant contributions to American society in various fields, including academia, business, technology, and the arts.In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of Asian Americans in shaping American culture and society. This has led to increased representation of Asian Americans in the media, with films such as "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Minari" gaining critical acclaim and commercial success. Additionally, Asian American activists and organizations have been advocating for greater recognition and respect for their community.The future of Asian Americans in the United States is promising. As their population continues to grow, so does their influence and impact on American society. It is crucial for the mainstream society to recognize and appreciate the rich diversity and contributions of Asian Americans.2. Passage 2Money plays a significant role in our daily lives, and financial literacy is essential for personal financial well-being. However, many young people lack the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage their finances. This has led to widespread financial problems, such as debt, poor credit scores, and limited savings.To address this issue, financial education should be integrated into school curriculums from an early age. By teaching children about concepts like budgeting, saving, and investing, they can develop good financial habits and make informed financial decisions in the future. Financial literacy courses can also cover topics like student loans, credit cards, and taxes, which are relevant to young adults entering the workforce.In addition to formal education, parents and guardians can also play a crucial role in teaching their children about money. By involving children in discussions about family finances, budgeting, and saving, parents can instill responsible financial behaviors from a young age. It is important for parents to lead by example and demonstrate healthy financial habits themselves.Furthermore, access to financial resources and tools should be made readily available to young people. This can include online resources, mobile applications, and financial counseling services. By providing accessible anduser-friendly platforms, young individuals can easily access information and tools to manage their finances effectively.In conclusion, improving financial literacy among young people is essential for their long-term financial well-being. By integrating financial education into schools, involving parents in teaching, and providing accessible resources, we can empower young individuals to make informed financial decisions and build a secure financial future.3. Passage 3Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. Its impacts are already being felt around the world, from extreme weather events to rising sea levels. In order to mitigate and adapt to climate change, collective action is needed from individuals, governments, and businesses.Individuals can make a difference by adopting sustainable practices in their daily lives. This can include reducing energy consumption, recycling, using public transportation, and supporting businesses that prioritize environmental sustainability. Small changes in individual behavior, when multiplied on a global scale, can have a significant impact in reducing carbon emissions and preserving natural resources.Governments play a crucial role in addressing climate change through policy measures and regulations. They can implement renewable energy targets, impose carbon taxes, and promote sustainable transportation. Additionally, governments can provide incentives for businesses and individuals to transition to more sustainable practices.Businesses have the power to drive significant change and innovation in combating climate change. By adopting sustainable practices and investing in renewable energy, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a greener economy. Many businesses have also recognized the economic opportunities of the green market and are transitioning towards sustainable business models.Collaboration and international cooperation are also essential in tackling climate change. Global agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, provide a framework for countries to work together in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. International efforts are needed to develop and share technologies, knowledge, and best practices for a sustainable future.In conclusion, addressing climate change requires collective action from individuals, governments, and businesses. By adopting sustainable practices, implementing effective policies, and fostering international cooperation, we can mitigate the impacts of climate change and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.。

He told the man to rest for a few days and made the other sailors do his work.Three days later another sailor pretended that he had something wrong with his chest.Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told“sick”man to have a rest.The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do.The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the captain was not looking.At last the mate(船长副手) decided to cure the“sick”men.He mixed up some soap,soot(烟灰),glue(胶水)and other unpleasant things.Then he obtained permission from the captain to give his medicine to the “sick”men.When they tasted the medicine,they really did feel ill.It was so horrible that one of the patients jumped out of hi bunk,ran up on desk and climbed the highest mast on the ship. He did not want any more medicine.The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour,night and day.This soon cured them.They both said they felt better and wanted to start word again.The captain realized that the men tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.1.The first sailor pretended to be ill because he wanted to.A.test the captain’s knowledge of medicineB.be free from workC.have the best food on the shipD.play a joke on his friends2.When the captain knew a sailor was ill,he.A.didn’t care muchB.sent for a doctorC.looked after him and told him to have a restD.gave him some medicine3.The patients felt better quickly because.A.they had been given proper medicineB.they learned that the captain had found out the truthC.they were laughed at by their friendsD.the medicine the mate gave was horrible4.When the captain knew he had been deceived,he.A.told them not to do so againB.lost his temperC.made them work harderD.fired them5.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A.A sudden Cure.B.Two Patients.C.Captain and Sailors.D.A Difficult Voyage.正确答案：BCDCA2.Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago,it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold.The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later.The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes,one of which was making pots and pans.Aluminum is lightweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different forms.By mixing it with other metals,scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys,some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.Today,the uses of aluminum are innumerable.Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles,in the hulls of boats.It is also used in many parts of airplanes.In fact,the huge“airbus”planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist.By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them,Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.Since aluminum is such a versatile(多用的)metal,it is fortunate that bauxite(铝土矿),which is one of its chief sources,is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances.As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible,we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.6.The price of aluminum was sharply reduced when people discovered a new refining process with the aid of.A.windB.solar energyC.hydraulic powerD.electricity7.Aluminum is.A.lightweight,rustproof but not easily shaped into different formsB.heavyweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different formsC.lightweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different formsD.lightweight and easily shaped into different forms but it is easy to become rusty8.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Aluminum is widely used in transportation.B.Aluminum is also used in many parts of airplanes.C.Aluminum is being used extensively in the building industry.D.Aluminum is not used in its pure form.9.Aluminum is found on earth mostly in the form of.A.pure metalB.bauxiteC.goldD.liquid10.What is the passage talking about?A.The features of aluminum and its functions.B.The process of aluminum.C.The discovery of aluminum.D.The promising future of aluminum.正确答案：DCDBA3.Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in1907.two years later a woman,Mrs.John Bruce Dodd,in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father.Her mother died when she was very young,and her father brought her up.She loved her father very much.In response to Mrs.Dodd’s idea that same year—1909,the state governor of Washington proclaimed(宣布)the third Sunday in June Father’s Day.The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in1916.in1924,President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion“to establish more intimate(亲密)relations between fathers and their children,and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.”The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day,but as the idea grained popularity,tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities.They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents,such as a tie or pair of socks,as well as by sending greeting cards.During the Second World War,American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home.This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day,it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America. Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day.Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents.But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries,who have not even a day for their sake in name only.11.When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?A.1907B.1909C.1916D.192412.Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?A.Mrs.John Bruce DoddB.Mrs.John Bruce’s MotherC.The government of Washington.D.Some businessmen.13.What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?A.LilyB.Water LilyC.Red rose or white roseD.Sunflower.14.Which statement is true,a according to this passage?A.It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.B.The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.C.Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.D.Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.15.What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?A.They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.B.They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.C.They just thought it a joke.D.They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.正确答案：DACBD4.Passage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage:Culture shock is an occupational disease(职业病)for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse.Those signs are as following:when to shake hands and what to say when meet people,when and how to give tips,how to make purchases,when to accept and refuse invitations,when to take statements seriously and when not.These signs,which may be words, gestures,facial expressions,or customs,are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept.All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency,but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture,all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you,followed by a feeling of frustration.When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort.The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.When foreigners in a strange land get together in complain about the host country its

英语六级模拟训练题一（附答案及解析）Model T est 1Part ⅠWritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled To Curb Spending? Y ou should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 现在许多大学生花钱大手大脚2. 有人认为社会整体生活水平提高了，大学生花钱多一些无可厚非3. 你的看法Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)How Marketers T arget KidsKids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influence their parents’ buying decisions and they are the adult con sumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids. Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:Pester（纠缠）PowerToday’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their paren ts tobuy. “Pester power” refers to children’s ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories—“persistence” and “importance.” Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophisticated “importance nagging.” This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to provide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingTo effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about c hildren’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that anal yzes children’s behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U.S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyCanadi an author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of “brand” marketing in her 2000 book No Logo.According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein,Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothing companies have een cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingThe challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter ( 杂乱) in young people’s lives. Many companies are using “buzz marketing” —a new twist on the tried-and-true “word of mouth” method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or “street marketing,” as it’s also call ed, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive ( 难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products “cool” status.Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet,where young “Net promoters” use chat rooms and blogs t o spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationSchool used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空，差额) are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products.A school setting delivers a captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including:●Sponsored educational materials.●Supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility.●Advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds.●Contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.●Sponsoring school events.The InternetThe Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of y outh culture. This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, whichhave codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to KidsChildren are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.The FTC st udied 44 films rated “Restricted,” and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching.The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on “Restricted” movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.1.

One is defined by what is paid out, the other by what is paid in.The first is called a defined (37) plan, or pension. It provides set (38) based on the number of years an (39) has worked. These plans often pay for health care and other costs. They might also provide money to family members when the (40) dies.Pensions, however, can be a big cost to employers. In the United States, the change from a (41) economy to a service economy has resulted in fewer and fewer (42) plans.The other major kind of retirement plan is called a defined (43) plan. Two things define how much a worker will get at retirement. (44)One popular version is a four-oh-one-k plan, named after a part of the tax law. (45)But some plans are very complex. An easier way for small employers to offer retirement savings is through a Savings Incentive Match Plan. (46) .Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section ABy the mid-nineteenth century, the term "icebox" had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns (酒馆), and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh moat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half of the ice sold in New Y ork, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modem fridge, had been invented.Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary (未发展的). The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping up the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doingits job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.But as early as 1803, and ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-poundbricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer travel to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.47. What is the topic of the passage?_________48. Where was ice used after the Civil War? _________49. What was essential to a science of refrigeration according to the passage?_________50. It can be inferred from the passage that the theoretical foundation of ice box should be that ______.51. Without an ice box, farmers had to go to the market at night because ______.Section B Passage OneRacket, din clamor, noise. Whatever you want to call it, unwanted sound is America's most widespread nuisance. But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health. Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closesand the body still responds--sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night.The annoyance we feel when Paced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability is so apparent, legislators have made public annoyance the basis of many noise abatement (消除) programs. The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention. Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health.Of the many health hazards related to noise, heating loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have serious consequences for those already ill in mind or body.Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest.Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhapsit is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modem world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.52. The phrase "immune to" (Line 3, Para. 1) are used to mean ______.[A] unaffected by [B] hurt by [C] unlikely to be seen by [D] unknown by53. The author's attitude toward noise would best be described as ______.[A] unrealistic [B] traditional [C] concerned [D] hysterical54. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?[A] Noise is a major problem; most people recognize its importance.[B] Although noise can be annoying, it is not a major problem.[C] Noise is a major problem and has not yet been recognized as such.[D] Noise is a major problem about which nothing can be done.55. The author condemns noise essentially because it ______.[A] is against the law [B] can make some people irritable [C] is a nuisance [D] is a danger to people's health56. The author would probably consider research about the effects noise has on people to be ______.[A] unimportant [B] impossible [C] a waste of money [D] essentialPassage T woFreshwater life itself has never come easy in the Middle East. Ever since The Old Testament (旧约全书), God punished man with 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Water supplies here have beendwindling The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through the semiarid land, leaving the soil to hake and to thirst for next November.The region's accelerating population, expanding agriculture, industrialization, and higher living standards demand more freshwater. Drought and pollution limit its availability. War and mismanagement waste it. Said Joyce Start of the Global Water Summit Initiative, based in Washington, D.C. "Nations like Israel and Jordan are swiftly sliding into that zone where they are suing all the water resources available to them. They have only 15 to 20 years left before their agriculture, and ultimately their food security, is threatened."I came here to examine this crisis in the making, to investigate fears that "water wars" are imminent, that water has replaced oil as the region's most contentious commodity. For more than two months I traveled through three river valleys and seven nations--from southern Turkey down the Euphrates River to Syria, Iraq, and on to Kuwait; to Israel and Jordan, neighbors across the valley of the Jordan; to the timeless Egyptian Nile.Even amid the scarcity there are haves and have-nots. Compared with the United States, which in 1990 had freshwater potential of 10,000 cubic meters (2.6 million gallons) a year for each citizen, Iraq had 5,500, Turkey had 4,000, and Syria had more than 2,800. Egypt's potential was only 1,100. Israel had 460. Jordan had a meager 260. But these are not firm figures, because upstream use of river water can dramatically alter the potential downstream.Scarcity is only one clement of the crisis, Inefficiency is another, as is the reluctance of some water-poor nations to change priorities from agriculture to less water-intensiveenterprises. Some experts suggest that if nations would share both water technology and resources, they could satisfy the region's population, currently 159 million. But in this patchwork of ethnic and religious rivalries, water seldom stands alone as an issue. It is entangled in the politics that keep people from trusting end seeking help from one another. Here, where water, like truth, is precious, each nation tends to find its own water end supply its own truth.As Israeli hydrology professor Uri Shamir told me: "If there is political will for peace, water will not be a hindrance. If you want reasons to fight, water will not be a hindrance. If you want reasons to fight, water will give you ample opportunities."57. Why does the author use the phrase "for next November" (Line 3, Para. 1)?[A] According to the Old Testament freshwater is available only in November.[B] Rainfall comes only in winter starting from November.[C] Running water systems will not be ready until next November.[D] It is a custom in that region that irrigation to crops is done only in November.58. What is NOT the cause for the imminent water war?[A] Lack of water resources. [B] Lack of rainfall. [C] Inefficient use of water. [D] Water has replaced oil.59. One way for the region to use water efficiently is to ______.[A] develop other enterprises that cost less water [B] draw a plan of irrigation for the various nations[C] import water from water-rich nations [D] stop wars of any sort for good and all60. Uri Shamir's viewpoint is that ______.[A] nations in that region are just fighting for water [B] people there are thirsty for peace instead of water[C] water is no problem as long as there is peace [D] those nations have every reason to fight for water61. The author's tone in the article can be described as ______.[A] depressing [B] urgent [C] joking [D] mockingPart ⅤClozeMost worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training.

Some argue that if the students earn the money they spend it is none of other people's business, and after all, the general living standard keeps rising. However, the fact is that most students live on the money their parents give them. The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle－one with name brand clothing, mobile phones, MP3, and dining out or going to bars with a girlfriend－makes many to be frequent borrowers.In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt. When a student's spending steps beyond the boundaries of , it becomes a kind of waste. Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on the campus could have a bad influence on people's values. But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault. Though everyone has the right。

大学英语六级模拟题（一）及答案
大学英语六级模拟题（一）及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Ask three people to look the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1. Seeing and perceiving are .A. the same actionB. two separate actionsC. two actions carried on entirely by eyesD. several actions that take place at different times2. Perceiving is an action that takes place .A. in our eyesB. only when we think very hard about somethingC. only under the direction of a psychologistD. in every person’s mind3. People perceive different things about the same scene because .A. they see different thingsB. some have better eyesightC. they cannot agree about thingsD. none of these4. Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Psychologists do not yet know people see.B. The experiments in which all factors are controlled are better.C. The study of perception is going on now.D. Perception does not involve psychological factors.5. The best title for this selection is .A. How We SeeB. Learning about Our Minds through ScienceC. What Psychologists PerceiveD. How to Because an Experimental PsychologistPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown tat 40 percent of cancer isrelated to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures ate more prone to get certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.6. How has science done a disservice to mankind?A. Because of science, most of the foods we eat today are contaminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances has been added to our food.D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.7. What are nitrates used for?A. They preserves flavor in packaged foods.B. They preserve the color of meats.C. They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.8. The FDA has tried repeatedly to control .A. the attempt to fatten the animalsB. the attempt to cure sick animalsC. the using of drugs to animalsD. the using of additives to preserve the dolor of food9. The word “carcinogenic” means most nearly the same as .A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC. money-savingD. cancer-causing10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of the food additives for over thirty-five years.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Unlike their American or European counterparts, car salesmen in Japan work hard to get a buyer. Instead of lying lazily around showrooms waiting for customers to drop by, many Japanese car salesmen still go out to get them. They walk wearily along the streets cars door-to-door. New customers are hunted with fruit and cakes on their birthdays. But life is getting tough, and not just because new-car sales are falling.With more Japanese women (who often control the household budget) going out to work, the salesmen increasingly find nobody at home when they call. That means another visit in the evening or the weekend. Then they face an extra problem:more people, especially the young, prefer to choose a new car from a showroom where they can compare different models.Even as late as the mid-1980s some 90% of new cars were sold door-to-door. In some rural areas most new cars are still sold this way. But in the big cities more than half the new cars are now sold from showrooms.Although investing in showrooms is expensive because of the high cost of Japanese land, dealers have little choice. A labor shortage and higher expectations among Japan’s workforce are making it difficult to hire door-to-door salesmen. Most of a Japanese car salesman’s working day is spent doing favors for customers, like arranging insurance or picking up vehicles for servicing, rather than actually selling.Japan’s doorstep car salesmen are not about to vanish. The personal service they provide is so deep-rooted in Japan that they are likely to operate alongside the glittering new showrooms. The two systems even complement each other. What increasingly happens is that the showroom attracts the interest of a potential buyer, giving the footsore salesmen a firm lead to follow up with a home visit.11. Japanese car sales usually do not wait at showrooms for customers to drop by; instead, .A. they sell cars door-to-doorB. they buy presents for their customersC. they enjoy themselves in recreation centersD. they go out to do market researches12. Implied but stated: the competition in car market is .A. lightB. moderateC. fierceD. unfair13. Young people like to buy a new car .A. at homeB. from a showroomC. made in the U.S.A.D. made in Japan14. The squadron of Japanese car salesmen is reducing because of .A. a labor shortageB. higher expectations among Japan’s workforceC. high cost landD. both A and B15. Japanese car salesmen to their customers many favors such as .A. showing them around in an exhibitionB. arranging insuranceC. paying them a visit on weekendsD. selling ole cars for themPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:The new global satellite communications systems will offer three kinds service, which may overlap in many different kinds of receivers.VOICE. Satellite telephones will be able to make calls from anywhere on the Earth to anywhere else. That could make them especially useful to remote, third world villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), explorers and disaster-relief teams. Today’s mobile telephones depend on earth-bound transmitters, where technical standards vary from country to country. So business travelers cannot use their mobile phones on international trips. Satellite telephones would make that possible.MESSAGING. Satellite massagers have the same global coverage as satellite telephones, but carry text alone, which could be useful for those with laptop computers. Equipped with a smallscreen like today’s papers, satellite massagers will also receive short messages.TRACKING. Voice and messaging systems will also tell their users where they are to within a few hundred meters. Combined with the messaging service, the location service could help rescue teams to find stranded adventurers, the police to find stolen cars, exporters to follow the progress of cargoes, and haulage companies to check that drivers are not detouring the pub. America’s military Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite will provide better positioning information to anyone who has a receiver for their signals, but GPS does not carry messages, so such a receiver cannot be used on its own for tracking or rescue. By the mid-1990s, GPS receivers will be able to tell people where they are to within 70 meters anywhere in the world, and to within a meter or so in areas where the service is supplemented by ground-based transmitter.16. Global satellite communications systems will be useful to .A. laptop computer usersB. remote villagesC. disaster-relief teamsD. all above17. Satellite telephone will make .A. business travelers use mobile phones on international tripsB. possible calls from anywhere on earth to anywhere elseC. explorers happyD. all above18.

The positioning precision of the messaging system is better than of GPS.D. The positioning precision of voice system is better than that of the messaging system.19. What can we say about the new global satellite communications systems?A. They are widely used.B. They are very helpful.C. They are costly.D. Both A and B.20. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Global Satellite CommunicationsB. New Voice and Messaging SystemC. New Generation SatelliteD. Always in TouchQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:One if the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspapers; signal to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without adding customer-appeal to all his other problem of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers (赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufactures find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration sees called for how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.16. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude toward modern advertising?A. IndifferentB. ShockedC. DisapprovingD. Approving17. According to the author, which is NOT the designer’s chief concern when he designs a product?A. Stress factorsB. Man-hoursC. Machine tolerancesD. Customer-appeal18. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are .A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers19. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer will choose toA. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its image20. The best title for the passage might be .A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising—England’s Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by four choices.

The fact that a child picks a language 63 is 64 : At one year old, a child is able to say “bye-bye”; at two, he is able to use fifty; by there he begins to 65 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 66 that human being have a sort of built-insystem for language use, and that the 67 is 68 . Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 70 , hold the view that a child learns 71 of his language from the hints in the environment. 72 , theorists of both schools 73 that there is a biological basis for language use. The 74 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 76 their own theory, but 77 side is persuading the other.It seems that in order to 78 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 79 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguist, like De Villiers, has recognized the value of cooperation, and 80 linguists of both sides to work together.61. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly62.

It has been demonstrated many times that it is often this idea 63 is causing their problems 64 than any lack of skill in mathematics. The 65 way to deal with this problem is to 66 yourself that math involves using the same number you have been using the same numbers you have been using 67 your life and that you know them as well as 68 else. Then set your mind to learning how they used in the 69 part of mathematics you are studying.Another problem many people 70 is that in mathematics, unlike some other 71 you may have studied, the material has a very important 72 or order. If you don’t understand a 73 of a mathematics text, it is no 74 going on to the next section. Many sections of math books are 75 on information presented earlier, so it is 76 that you understand a section before going on to the next.Sometimes students in mathematics courses do not read the written material in the text 77 assume that the teacher will tell them 78 they need to know. This can cause them 79 problem, since many teachers assume that students have read the text before coming to class. The written sections of mathematic textbooks 80 much valuable information.61.
