以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的大学英语六级仔细阅读真题及答案,希望能给大家带来帮助!更多经常内容请及时关注我们店铺!Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Interactive television advertising, which allows viewers to use their remote controls to click on advertisements, has been pushed for years. Nearly a decade ago it was predicted that viewers of “Friends”, a popular situation comedy, would soon be able to purchase a sweater like Jennifer Aniston’s with a few taps on their remote control.“It’s been the year of interactive television advertisi ng for the last ten or twelve years,”says Colin Dixon of a digital-media consultancy.So the news that Cablevision, and American cable company, was rolling out interactive advertisements to all its customers on October 6th was greeted with some skepticism. During commercials, an overlay will appear at the bottom of the screen, prompting viewers to press a button to request a free sample or order a catalogue. Cablevision hopes to allow customers to buy things with their remote controls early next year.Television advertising could do with a boost. Spending fell by 10% in the first half of the year. The popularization of digital video recorders has caused advertisers to worry that their commercials will be skipped. Some are turning to the Internet, which is cheaper and offers concrete measurements like click-through rates—especially important at a time when marketing budgets are tight. With the launch of interactive advertising,“many of the dollars that went to the Internet will come back to the TV,”says David Kline of Cablevision. Or so the industry hopes.In theory, interactive advertising can engage viewers in a way that 30-second spots do not. Unilever recently ran an interactive campaign for its Axe deodorant(除臭剂),which kept viewers engaged for more than three minutes on average.The amount spent on interactive advertising on television is still small. Magna, an advertising agency, reckons it will be worth about $138 million this year. That falls far short of the billions of dollars people once expected it to generate. But DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable have all invested in it. A new effort led by Canoe Ventures, a coalition of leading cable providers, aims to make interactive advertising available across America later this year. BrightLine iTV, Which designs and sells interactive ads, says interest has surged: it expects its revenues almost to triple this year. BSkyB, Britain’s biggest satellite-television service, already provides 9 million customers with interactive ads.Yet there are doubts whether people watching television, a“lean back”medium, crave interaction. Click-through rates have been high so far(around 3-4%, compared with less than 0.3% online), but that may be a result of the novelty. Interactive adsand viewers might not go well together.46.What does Colin Dixon mean by saying“It’s been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years”(Lines 4-5, Para.1)?A)Interactive television advertising will become popular in 10-12 years.B)Interactive television advertising has been under debate for the last decade or so.C)Interactive television advertising is successful when incorporated into situation comedies.D)Interactive television advertising has not achieved the anticipated results.47.What is the public’s response to Cablevision’s planned interactive TV advertising program?A)Pretty positive.B)Totally indifferent.C)Somewhat doubtful.D)Rather critical.48.What is the impact of the wide use of digital video recorders on TV advertising?A)It has made TV advertising easily accessible to viewers.B)It helps advertisers to measure the click-through rates.C)It has placed TV advertising at a great disadvantage.D)It enables viewers to check the sales items with ease.49.What do we learn about Unilever’s interact ive campaign?A)It proves the advantage of TV advertising.B)It has done well in engaging the viewers.C)It helps attract investments in the company.D)it has boosted the TV advertising industry.50.How does the author view the hitherto high click-throughrates?A)They may be due to the novel way of advertising.B)They signify the popularity of interactive advertising.C)They point to the growing curiosity ofTV viewers.D)They indicate the future direction of media reform.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.What can be done about mass unemployment? All the wise heads agree: there’re no quick or easy answers. There’s work to be done, but workers aren’t ready to do it—they’re in the wrong places, or they have the wrong skills, Our problems are“structural,”and will take many years to solve.But don’t bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view. There isn’t any. On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand. saying that there’re no easy answers sounds wise. But it’s actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political will to act. In other words, structural unemployment is a fake problem, which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursing real solutions.The fact is job openings have plunged in every major sector, while the number of workers forced into part-time employment in almost all industries has soared. Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category. Only three states. With a combined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn, have unemployment rates below 5%. So the evidence contradicts the claim that we’re mainly suffering from structural unemployment. Why, then, has this claim become so popular?Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment—in part because experts andanalysts believe that declaring the problem deeply rooted, with no easy answers, makes them sound serious.I’ve been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression; it was almost identical to what Very Serious People are saying now. Unemployment cannot be brought down rapidly, declared one 1935 analysis, becau se the workforce is“unadaptable and untrained. It cannot respond to the opportunities which industry may offer.”A few years later, a large defense buildup finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economy’s needs—and suddenly industry was eager to employ those“unadaptable and untrained”workers.But now, as then, powerful forces are ideologically opposed to the whole idea of government action on a sufficient scale to jump-start the economy. And that, fundamentally, is why claims that we face huge structural problems have been multiplying: they offer a reason to do nothing about the mass unemployment that is crippling out economy and our society.So what you need to know is that there’s no evidence whatsoever to back these claims. We aren’t suffering from a shortage of needed skills, We’re suffering from a lack of policy resolve. As I said, structural unemployment isn’t a real problem, it’s an excuse—a reason not to act o n America’s problems ata time when action is desperately needed.51.What does the author think is the root cause of mass unemployment in America?A)Corporate mismanagement.B)Insufficient demand.C)Technological advances.D)Workers’ slow adaptation.52.Wh at does the author think of the experts’ claim concerning unemployment?A)Self-evident.B)Thought-provoking.C)Irrational.D)Groundless.53.What does the author say helped bring down unemployment during the Great Depression?A)The booming defense industry.B)The wise heads’ benefit package.C)Nationwide training of workers.D)Thorough restructuring of industries.54.What has caused claims of huge structural problems to multiply?A)Powerful opposition to government’s stimulus efforts.B)Very Serious People’s attempt to cripple the economy.C)Evidence gathered from many sectors of the industries.D)Economists’ failure to detect the problems in time.55.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A)To testify to the experts’ analysis of America’s probl ems.B)To offer a feasible solution to the structural unemployment.C)To show the urgent need for the government to take action.D)To alert American workers to the urgency for adaptation.参考答案Passage one46. C interactive television is successful47. C somewhat doubtful48. C it has placed TV advertising49. B it has down well in engaging the viewer50. A they maybe due the novel way of advertisingPassage two51. B insufficient demand52. D groundless53. A the booming defense industry54. A powerful opposition to government55. C to show urgent need for the government to take actionPassage OneQuestions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Facing water shortages and escalating fertilizer costs, farmers in developing countries are using raw sewage(下水道污水)to irrigate and fertilize nearly 49 million acres of cropland, according to a new report-and it may not be a bed thing.While the practice carries serious health risks for many, those dangers are outweighed by the social and economic gains for poor urban farmers and consumers who need affordable food."There is a large potential for wastewater agriculture to both help and hurt great numbers of urban consumers," said Liqa Raschid-Sally, who led the study.The report focused on poor urban areas, where farms in or near cities supply relatively inexpensive food. Most of these operations draw irrigation water from local rivers or lakes. Unlike developed cities, however, these areas lack advanced water-treatment facilities, and rivers effectively become sewers.(下水道) When this water is used for agricultural irrigation, farmers risk absorbing disease-causing XX, as do consumers who eat the produce raw and unwashed. Nearly 2.2 million people die a year because of diarrhea-related(与腹泻相关的)diseases, according to WHO statistics. XXX than 80% of those cases can be attributed to contant with contaminated water and a lack of XXX anitation. But Pay Drechsel, an environmental scientist, argues that the socialand economic benefits of using untreated human waste to grow food outweigh the health risks.Those dangers can be addressed with farmer and consumer education, he said, while the free water and nutrients from human waste can help urban farmers in developing countries to escape poverty.Agriculture is a water-intensive business, accounting for nearly 70% of global fresh water consumption.In poor, dry regions, untreated wastewater is the only viable irrigation source to keep farmers in business. In some cases, water is so scarce that farmers break open sewage pipes transporting waste to local rivers.Irrigation is the primary agricultural use of human waste in the developing world. But frequently untreated human waste is used on grain crops, which are eventually cooked, minimizing the risk of transmitting water-borne diseases. With fertilizer prices jumping nearly 50% per metric ton over the last year in some places, human waste is an attractive, and often necessary, alternative.In cases where sewage mud is used, expensive chemical fertilizer us can be avoided. The mud contains the same critical nutrients."Overly strict standards often fail," James Bartram, a WHO water-health expert, said. "We need to accept that fact across much of the planet, so waste with little or no treatment will be used in agriculture for good reason."46.What does the author say about the use of raw sewage for farming?A.Its risks cannot be overestimated.B.It should be forbidden altogether.C.Its benefits outweigh the hazards involved.D.It is polluting millions of acres of cropland.47.What is the main problem caused by the use of wastewater for irrigation?A.Rivers and lakes nearby will gradually become contaminated.B.It will drive producers of chemical fertilizers out of business.C.Farmers and consumers may be affected by harmful bacteria.D.It will make the farm produce less competitive on the market.48.What is environmental scientist Pay Drechsel's attitude towards the use of untreated human waste in agriculture?A.Favorable.B.Indifferent.C.Skeptical.D.Responsible.49.What does Pay Dreschsel think of the risks involved in using untreated human waste for farming?A.They have been somewhat exaggerated.B.They can be dealt with through education.C.They will be minimized with new technology.D.They can be addressed by improved sanitation.50.What do we learn about James Bartram's position on the use of human waste for farming?A.He echoes Pay Drechsel's opinion on the issue.B.He chaltenges Liqa Raschid-Sally's conclusionC.He thinks it the only way out of the current food erisis.D.He deems it indispensable for combating global poverty.Passage TwoThese days, nobody needs to cook. Families graze on high-cholesterol take-aways and microwaved ready-meals. Cooking is an occasional hobby and a vehicle for celebrity chefs. Which makes it odd that the kitchen has become the heart of the modern house, what the great hall was to the medieval castle, the kitchen is to the 21st-century home.The money spent on kitchens has risen with their status. In America the kitchen market is now worth $170 billion, five times the country's film industry. In the year to August 2007, IKEA, a Swedish furniture chain, sold over one million kitchens worldwide. The average budget for a "major" kitchen overhaul in 2006, calculates Remodeling magazing, was a staggering $54,000, even a "minor" improvement cost on average $18,000.Exclusivity, more familiar in the world of high fashion, has reached the kitchen: Robinson&Cornish, a British manufacturer of custom-made kitchens, offers a Georgian-style one which would cost £145,000-155,000—excluding building, plumbing and electrical work. Its big selling point is that nobody else will have it :"You won't see this kitchen anywhere else in the word."The elevation of the room that once belonged only to the servants for the modem family tells the story of a century of social change. Right into the early 20th century, kitchens were smoky, noisy places, generally located underground, or to the back of the house, as far from living space as possible. That was as it should be: kitchens were for servants, and the aspiring middle classes wanted nothing to do with them.But as the working classes prospered and the servant shortage set in, housekeeping became a natter of interest to the educated classes. One of the pioneers of a radical new way of thinking about the kitchen was Catharine Esther Beecher, sisterof Harriet Beecher Stowe. In American human's Home、published in 1869, the Beecher sisters recommended a scientific approach to use hold management, designed to enhance the efficiency of a woman's work and promote order. Many contemporary ideas about kitchen design can be traced back to another American, Chris Frederick, who set about enhancing the efficiency of the housewife. Her 1919 work, House-Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home, was based on detailed observation of a wife's daily routine. She borrowed the Principle of efficiency on the factory floor and applied mestic tasks on the kitchen floor.Frederick's central idea, that "stove,sink and kitchen table must be placed in such a relation that useless steps are avoided entirely". Inspired the first fully fitted kitchen, designed in the 1920s by Mangarete Schutter. Libotsky. It was a modernist triumph, and many elements remain central features of today's kitchen.51.What does the author say about the kitchen of today?A.It is where housewives display their cooking skills.B.It is where the family entertains important guests.C.It has become something odd in a modern house.D.It is regarded as the center of a modern home.52.Why does the Georgian-style kitchen sell at a very high price?A.It is believed to have tremendous artistic value.B.No duplicate is to be found in any other place.C.It is manufactured by a famous British company.D.No other manufacturer can produce anything like it.53.What does the change in the status of the kitchen reflect?A.Improved living conditions.B.Technological progress.C.Women's elevated status.D.Social change.54.What was the Beecher sisters' idea of a kichen?A.A place where women could work more efficiently.B.A place where high technology could be applied.C.A place of interest to the educated people.D.A place to experiment with new ideas.55.What do we learn about today's kitchen?A. It represents the rapid technological advance in people's daily life.B.Many of its central features are no different from those of the 1920s.C.It has been transformed beyond recognition.D.Many of its functions have changed greatly.参考答案46. 正确选项 C It benefitsoutweigh the hazards involved47. 正确选项C Farmers andconsumers may be affected by harmful bacteria.48. 正确选项 A Favorable49. 正确选项 B They can bedealt with through education.50. 正确选项A He echoes PayDrechsel’s opinion on the issue.51. 正确选项 D It is regardedas the center of modern home.52. 正确选项 B No duplicateis to be found in any other place.53. 正确选项 D social change54. 正确选项 A A place wherewomen could work more efficiently.55. 正确选项B Many of itscentral features are no different from those of the 1920s.。

英语六级考试仔细阅读技巧1一、事实细节题识别:题目往往会以wh-疑问词提问。

常考考点:转折、因果、列举、指代等破解技巧:事实细节题的解题关键在于定位。

建议考生先快速浏览题目并划出题干中的关键词,然后回原文找相应的关键词,进行段落定位,之后回到题目和选项,看哪个选项符合题干要求且与原文对应信息表述一致。

注意:正确选项往往是原文对应信息的同义转述,而照抄原文内容的选项往往是干扰项;除此之外,常见的干扰项还包括与原文描述相悖、与原文内容部分相符、原文没有提及的信息等。

二、推理判断题识别:题干中含有infer, imply, learn from和 conclude等词。

常考考点:对细节、段落或全文进行推断破解技巧:先扫读题干,判读题目要求是对细节、段落还是全文进行推断。

如果是对细节和段落进行推断,则后面的做法与事实细节题相同;如果要求对全文进行推断,则文章主题和中心思想是解题的主要依据,所以需要考生浏览全文掌握文章主题,正确答案往往是对原文描述的总结,或换个角度表述与原文相同的意义。

英语六级考试仔细阅读技巧21)略读步骤所谓略读,顾每思义是一种省略的读法。

略读,能够让你以最快的速度阅读,选择性地遗漏某些细节内容,目的是获得文章的主旨大意。

在回答主旨题目的时候,略读就能派上用场。

不仅如此,进行略读有助于我们了解文章的大意、作者的观点,这样对我们做推论题也大有裨益。

这种选择性的阅读方法,特点是“省略细节找主旨”,注重对全文整体内容的把握。

但是,这里需要强调,“省略细节”是选择性的省略。

因为主旨也是可以从一些细节中透露出来的,所以有些细节是有助于我们掌握大意的。

那么在略读的过程中,关键点就是更多地关注并抓住文章中这些标志性的词句,例如文章的标题、章节标题、斜体字、黑体字、每段的开头和结尾、以及文章中能够代表观点的句子。

英语六级仔细阅读练习题附答案

英语六级仔细阅读练习题附答案

英语六级仔细阅读练习题附答案Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.A study of nearly 140,000 women in the U. S. showed that regular helpings of a small portionof nuts can have a powerful protective effect against a disease that is threatening to become aglobal epidemic. Women who consumed a 28 gram packet of walnuts at least twice a week were24 per cent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who rarely or never ate them. Eatingwalnuts just two or three times a week can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by almost a quarter.The latest findings, published in the Journal of Nutrition, are not the first to highlight the anti-diabetic effects of walnuts, with earlier research showing similar benefits. However, this is thought tobe one of the largest studies to fmd regularly snarling on them can help prevent the condition.Although the latest research was carried out on female nurses, its likely that the same benefitsapply to men.According to the charity Diabetes UK, at the current rate of increase, the numbers affected bytype 2 diabetes in the UK will rise from around 2.5 million currently to four million by 2025 and fivemillion by 2030. Left untreated, it can raise the risk of heart attacks, blindness and amputation (截肢). Being overweight, physically inactive and having a poor diet are major risk factors for thedisease.Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, U. S. , tracked 137,893 nurses agedfrom 35 to 77 over a ten year period to see how many developed type 2 diabetes. Their dietaryhabits were closely monitored, including details on how often they ate nuts, particularly walnuts.After allowing for body fat and weight, the researchers found eating walnuts one to three times amonth reduced the risk by four per cent, once a week by 13 per cent and at least twice a week by24 per cent.In a report on the findings the researchers said: "These results suggest higher walnutconsumption is associated with a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes in women: " Walnutsare rich in healthy fatty acids(脂肪酸)which have been shown to reduce inflammation (炎症) in thebody and protect against heart disease, cancer and arthritis(关节炎). Last year, experts at theUniversity of California Los Angeles also found young men in their twenties and thirties who atewalnuts every day increased their sperm count and boosted their fertility.The research comes just after a Louisiana State University study which showed that eating nutscan reduce peoples risk of obesity. The study found that those who consumed varieties such asalmonds and pistachios(开心果) demonstrated a lower body weight, body mass index ( BMI) andwaist circumference compared to non-consumers. They were also at lower risk of developingheart disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.56. According to the passage, what does "a global epidemic" ( Line 3, Para. 1 ) refer to?A) A disease.B) Type 2 diabetes.C) Cancer.D) Obesity.57. According to the passage, the research published in the Journal of NutritionA) was carried out on male nurses.B) is considered as the largest study of walnuts anti-diabetic effects.C) emphasizes walnuts anti-diabetic effects.D) is the first study of walnuts anti-diabetic effects.58. Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A) The number of diabetes patients in the UK will double by 2025.B) Type 2 diabetes is mainly triggered by childhood overweight.C) Diet and exercise may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.D) Type 2 diabetes will cause a significant increase of weight.59. Which of the following is TRUE about the 137,893 nurses tracked by scientists at theHarvard?A) Most of them are female.B) Their eating habits were closely inspected for over ten years.C) Their age is ranging from 35 to 77 years old.D) They have about the same body fat and weight.60. It has been proved that eating nuts canA) lower peoples body weight, BMI and waist circumferenceB) reduce inflammation in the bodyC) lower peoples risk of heart disease, cancer and arthritisD) increase young mens sperm count and boost their fertility Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.There is plenty of complaints about how social media--texting in particular--may be harmingchildrens social and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instantmessaging (IMing)and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for those whoare introverted( 内向的).British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens, aged 14 to 18. All of theparticipants were "regular" or "extensive" IMers. In the U. S., two thirds of teens use instantmessaging services regularly, with a full third messaging at least once every day.The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study, and reported the results in the journalComputers in Human Behavior. In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IMing while in anegative emotional state such as sadness, distress or anger. The rest were conversations begunwhen the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported about a20% reduction in their distress--not enough to completely eliminate it, but enough to leave themfeeling better than they had before reaching out."Our findings suggest that IMing between distressed adolescents and their peers may provideemotional relief and consequently contribute to their well-being," the authors write, noting thatprior research has shown that people assigned to talk to a stranger either in real life or onlineimproved their mood in both settings, but even more with IM. And people who talk with their real-lifefriends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate face-to-face,implying a strengthening of their bond.Why would digital communication trump human contact? The reasons are complex, but mayhave something to do with the fact that users can control expression of sadness and otheremotions via IM without revealing emotional elements like tears that some may perceive asembarrassing or sources of discomfort. Studies also show that the anonymity( 匿名) of writing ona device blankets the users in a sense of safety that may prompt people to feel more comfortablein sharing and discussing their deepest and most authentic feelings. Prior research has shown thatexpressive writing itself can "vent" emotions and provide a sense of relief--and doing so knowingthat your words are reaching a sympathetic friend may provide even more comfort andpotentially be the rapeutic. Researchers also found that introverted participants reported morerelief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extraverts ( 内向的) did. As SusanCain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Cant Stop Talking, wrote recently forTIME: Introverts are often brimming over with thoughts and care deeply for their friends, family andcolleagues. But even the most socially skilled introverts sometimes long for a free pass fromsocializing or talking on the phone. This is what the Internetoffers : the chance to connect--but inmeasured doses and from behind a screen.61. What is the finding of the new study by British researchers?A) Instant messaging will hinder childrens social and intellectual development.B) Introverted teens may benefit from constant instant messaging.C) Two thirds of Amebean teens use instant messaging every day.D) American teens aged 14 to 18 are extensive instant messaging users.62. What can be inferred from the results of the study?A) Teens are more likely to send instant messages when feeling distressed.B) Instant messaging can help completely remove teens negative emotions.C) Chat via instant messaging services makes participants feel good or calm.D) Constant instant messaging can help teens control their negative emotions.63. According to the authors of Computers in Human Behavior,A) talking to strangers on the Internet can improve the moodB) face-to-face talk can strengthen the bond between friendsC) people often feel closer to real-life friends than to net friendsD) teens feeling bad can benefit from talks via instant messaging64. What does the digital communication enable users to do?A) Avoid embarrassment and discomfort.C) Share and discuss more information.B) Produce more expressive writings.D) Find more sympathetic friends.65. What does Susan Cain say about introverts?A) They do not reveal their thoughts to friends, family and colleagues.B) They tend to feel more distressed about IM conversations than extraverts.C) They are more skillful at the art of socializing than extraverts.D) They at times desire to socialize or talk via social media.。

英语六级仔细阅读练习附答案讲解英语六级仔细阅读练习一56.B)。

定位由题干中的governments及seeking ways to reduce the health-care spending定位到*第一段第一句:Caught in a squeeze between the health needs of aging populations on onehand and the financial crisis on the other,governments everywhere are looking for ways to slowthe growth in health-care spending.详解推理判断题。

由定位句可知,各国政府一方面面临老龄化人群的健康需求,另一方面受到金融危机的影响,所以都在寻求减少医疗保健开支的途径,B)符合题意。

第一段第二句提到they are looking to thegenetic-drugs industry as a savior,但是普通药物只是各国政府减少开支的一个方法,并不是他们这么做的原因,故排除A);C)的说法在文中没有提及;本段最后一句提到That greed…costs taxpayers nearly C$1 billion a year.这里是说药店的贪心导致纳税人受损,并不是说保健花费的问题,故排除D)。

57.D)。

定位由题干中的the report issued by the European Commission 定位到*第二段第一句:Then on November 28th the European Commission issued the preliminary results...详解事实细节题。

定位句提到,11月28日欧洲委员会发布的一个初步调查报告,下文开始对该报告进行描述,由第二段最后一句Neelie Kroes,the EUs competition commissioner,says she is ready totake legal action if the evidence allows.可推断如果证据充足,委员们会采取行动,D)符合题意。

2023年6月英语六级仔细阅读真题答案(第1卷第1篇)

2023年6月英语六级仔细阅读真题答案(第1卷第1篇)

2023年6月英语六级仔细阅读真题答案(第1卷第1篇)2023年6月英语六级仔细阅读真题答案(第1卷第1篇) 2023年6月英语六级仔细阅读真题答案(第1卷第1篇)56、A根据四个有规律的选项信息可判断这是不定式问目的的题目。

先找到定位点,再在定位点附近找包含信息的不定式。

根据题干信息,画出定位词“puters, smartphones and other devices”可以迅速定位到文章首段首句“Hospitals, hoping to curb medical error, have invested heavily to put puters, smartphones and other devices into the hands of medical staff...”。

其中“invested...into the hands of medical staff”就是题干“equip their staff with..”所同义改写的`局部。

定位句中的插入语局部“hoping to curb medical error”即要找的不定式,比照原文和选项,“curb”是抑制的意思,选项中的“reduce”是对它的同义改写,最后选Ato reduce medical error。

57、C 例证题。

按题干定位词“distracted doctoring”定位在第三段。

而distracted doctoring所描绘的是第三段首句的“this phenomenon”,讲的是第二段中所例证的phenomenon,所以答案往上一段找。

第二段首句举例说明了随之而来的“side effect”“doctors and nurses can be focused on the screen and not the patient”、“admitted texting during a procedure”,可见作者通过说“distracted doctoring”是想说明devices的“side effect”,即C选项。

英语六级阅读 长篇和仔细阅读各个击破

英语六级阅读长篇和仔细阅读各个击破不知童鞋们是否有这种感受,看到六级长篇阅读就昏昏欲睡。

且不管它的复杂程度,光是那长度就足以吓人了。

其实阅读最重要的是速度,但是相应的方法也很重要滴呢!2013年12月的六级考试改革之后,六级阅读取消了快速阅读,取而代之的是长篇阅读,整体难度略有提升。

因此需要学习最基本的阅读解题方法和技巧,让阅读部分成为你的实力保障!一、长篇阅读2013年新六级改革大纲中指出长篇阅读篇章后附有10个句子,每句一题。

每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落,要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。

有的段落可能对应两题,有的段落可能不对应任何一题。

建议考生在做长篇阅读的时候需要连续查找,不可在段首找到一题后就直接跳读到下一段,否则将会遗漏某些重点信息。

之前快速阅读提干中有较多的大写,数字等特殊定位词这个风格相反,长篇阅读题干中的并无太多的明显大写和数字,针对这个现象和风格,此给考生们两点建议:1、注意标题中主题词以外的词仔细阅读的文章前并无大标题,往往考生都是直接先阅读题干。

然而长篇阅读篇幅长,题干句信息量大,且出题人在文章前附上了标题,所以考生必须先阅读大标题在了解了文章主题重点之后才能高效的查找到题干定位点。

长篇阅读题干中若无大写,数字之类的明显定位点的时候,用题干部分的名词,形容词定位,但请考生勿用主题词做为某个题目的定位词,因为全篇都在谈论这个话题,因为很难判断这道题目专属于某一段。

2、双重定位词仔细阅读题干多为半个句子,比较短,长篇阅读题干都是完整的句子,信息量较大。

因此在找长篇阅读时,不可只借助一个词去确定位置,有可能在文章几段中都提及这个词,要精准的确定某个题干在文章中的段落出处,至少要保证两个或两个以上的定位词和段落匹配度。

二、仔细阅读六级阅读在本质上依然延续着重对文章细节考察的这一传统。

阅读题有五种题型,分别为:细节题、主旨题、推断题、态度题和语义题,而细节题应当是复习和备考的重中之重。

英语六级仔细阅读模拟练习及答案

英语六级仔细阅读模拟练习及答案英语六级仔细阅读模拟练习:There is a certain inevitability that ebook sales have now overtaken paperback sales on Amazons US site. Amazons Kindle 2 is so light and so cheap that its easy to see why people have rushed to buy it. Though Im still not keen on the design of the Kindle, it is a vast improvement on its predecessor and certainly tolerable. Beyond the device itself, Amazon has done a great job of rolling out Kindle apps, ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a Kindle-can still join in the fun. Once youre into the Kindle ecosystem, Amazon locks you in tightly-just as Apple does with its iTunes/ iPod ecosystem. Its so easy to buy from Amazons store and the books are so cheap that its not worth the effort of going elsewhere.While I remain opposed to Amazons DRM (数字版权管理)-indeed, Im opposed to DRM on any ebooks-I have to admit that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle users wont care at all that their ebooks cant be moved to other devices.The ebook trend is nowhere near peaking. Over the next five years we can expect to see more and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead. But I dont think that will mean the death of the printed book.There are some who prefer printed books. They like having shelves filled with books theyve read and books they plan to read; they like the feel of the book in their hands and the different weights and typefacesand layouts of different titles. In other words, they like the physical form of the book almost as much as the words it contains.I can sympathise with those people. As I wrote earlier this week, my ideal situation would be for publishers to bundle ebooks with printed ones-in much the same way that film studios btmdie DVDs with digital copies of films. Theres no reason to think that lovers of printed books will change their minds. There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because more people will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones. However, just as there are people who love vinyl records(黑胶唱片), even if they were born well into the CD era, there will still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.Since there are fewer of these people, that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices for printed books but I dont think the picture is entirely bleak. There is scope for smaller print runs of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at book lovers, rather than the Stieg Larsson-reading masses. With mainstream readers out of the printed book market, book lovers might even find they get a better experience.1. What can be inferred from Paragraph One?A.Most people buy Kindle 2 mainly because of its low price.B.The author of the passage is a loyal customer of Apple products.C.Amazons Kindle 2 surpassed Kindle 1 in designing.D.The sales of ebook outnumbered those of paperback in the U. S.2. According to the passage, the reason why the author opposes to Amazons DRM is that ______A.ebooks can only be purchased on Amazon. comB.Kindle books are not compatible with other electronic reading devicesC.once implemented, ebooks cant be transferred to other equipmentsD.ebooks installed on Kindle 2 cant be edited freely3. It can be learned that the trend of ebooks______A.will come to stop any time soonB.will reach the summit in the near futureC.will meet its heyday when printed books dieD.has already reached its peak4. Why does the author believe that the surging sales of ebooks wont mean the death of the printed book?A.Because a minority will stick to their love of printed books.B.Because the majority of book lovers wont change their minds.C.Because people always hold nostalgic feelings towards printed books.D.Because people will return to the printed books as time goes by.5 According to the author, which of the following is TRUE about the future of printed books?A.They will be bundled with ebooks.B.They will no longer be available in the market.C.They will be sold in small quantity and high quality.D.They will be redesigned to cater to the masses.1.C)。

2022年12月大学英语六级真题解析(仔细阅读卷二)

2022 年 12 月份大学英语六级认真阅读译文及具体解析〔卷二〕Section CPassage One全文翻译及命题分析或许是时候让农场主们歇歇脚了,由于机器人正被用来监测庄稼生长、拔除杂草,甚至放牧。

商业种植面积及其广袤,需要数千工时来耕作。

澳大利亚最偏远的苏坡杰克·唐斯〔Suplejack Downs〕牛场就是一个典型的例子。

它位于北部地区,绵延 4000 平方公里,距离最近的主要城市艾丽丝泉〔Alice Springs〕逾13 个小时车程。

这些大规模农场极度偏远,往往无人照料,每年只能监测一两次,这意味着假设牲畜生病或需要救济,农场主可能需要很长时间才能觉察。

然而,机器人正前来救援。

机器人目前正在威尔士进展为期两年的试验,该试验将训练“农场机器人”放牧,监测牲畜的安康,并确保有足够的牧场供它们放牧。

这些机器人配备了很多传感器来识别环境、牛群以及食物的状况,使用热传感器和视觉传感器来探测体温的变化。

悉尼大学的萨拉·苏卡黎(Salah Sukarieh)将在南威尔士州中部的几个农场进展试验,他说:“你还可以用颜色、质地和外形传感器检测地面上的牧草质量。

”在试验期间,将对机器人的算法和技术性细节进展微调,使其更适合生病的牲畜,并确保它能够安全地绕过树木、淤泥、沼泽和丘陵等潜在障碍区。

苏卡黎说:“我们期望改善牲畜的安康品质,并让农场主更简洁维护牲畜在宽阔的草场上信步由缰的壮丽景象。

”机器人并不局限于放牧和监控牲畜,他们还被用来统计单果数量,检查农作物,甚至拔除杂草。

很多机器人配备有高科技传感器和简单的学习算法,以避开它们在与人类并肩工作时损害人类。

机器人还知晓最高效、最安全的通行方式,使工程师和农场主能够分析和更好地优化机器人的属性和任务,并供给现场直播,实时反响农场上正在发生的事情。

固然,农业工人担忧其岗位被取代。

然而,由于劳动力空缺的不断加剧,大规模生产难以维持,正是农场主们在力推技术进步。

英语六级之仔细阅读

仔细阅读就是传统的阅读理解,每篇⽂章对应五个多项。

08年6⽉的考试仍然遵循先前的出题规律,难度没有太⼤的变化,因此考⽣仍然可以采⽤“确定题型、关键词定位、依次⽽下、区域解题”的解题策略。

下⾯我们以Passage One为例 1.确定题型,关键定位 六级考试阅读部分主要涉及主旨题、态度题、猜词题、细节题和推论题五种题型,⽽考试中主要考查的题型是细节和推论。

考⽣⾸先应该判断考查题型,确定做题⽅法,然后圈定题⼲关键词。

52. Why do Americans feel humiliated? (细节题,关键词是Americans 和 humiliated) 53. How does the current dollar affect the life of ordinary Americans? (细节题,关键词是affect the life of ordinary Americans) 54.How do many Europeans feel about the U.S with the devalued dollar? (细节题,关键词是Europeans) 55.What is the author's advice to Americans? (推论题) 56.What does the author imply by saying “currencies don't turn on a dime” (Line 2, Para 7)? (猜词题,猜测句⼦隐含含义) 2.关键词定位、圈定⽂中逻辑关系词、依次⽽下确定出题区域 考⽣可以借助题⼲中的关键词Americans,humiliated,affect the life of ordinary Americans,Europeans等通读全⽂,圈定关键词和逻辑关系词(因果、转折、举例等)。

(Passage 3)The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation's self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency.(No.52) It's also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy-from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami-for which the weak dollar is most excellent news.(No.53) (Passage 4)Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. (No.54) Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico-as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can't afford to join the merrymaking. (Passage 5、6)此两段为举例,⽽举例在六级考试中通常起到说明的作⽤,⽤于证明所要阐述的观点,⼀般不考查。

下面是店铺为大家整理的英语六级考试真题仔细阅读和翻译,欢迎参考!英语六级考试真题仔细阅读和翻译篇1Section C仔细阅读Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Manufacturers of products that claim to be environmentally friendly will face tighter rules on how they are advertised to consumers under changes proposed by the Federal Trade Commission.The commission's revised "Green Guides" warn marketers against using labels that make broad claims, like "eco-friendly". Marketers must qualify their claims on the product packaging and limit them to a specific benefit, such as how much of the product is recycled."This is really about trying to cut through the confusion that consumers have when they are buying a product and that businesses have when they are selling a product," said Jon Leibowitz,chairman of the commission.The revisions come at a time when green marketing is on the rise. According to a new study,the number of advertisements withgreen messages in mainstream magazines has risen since1987, and peaked in 2008 at 10.4%. In 2009, the number dropped to 9%.But while the number of advertisements may have dipped, there has been a rapid spread of ecolabeling. There are both good and bad players in the eco-labeling game.In the last five years or so, there has been an explosion of green claims and environmental claims. It is clear that consumers don't always know what they are getting.A handful of lawsuits have been filed in recent years against companies accused of using misleading environmental labels. In 2008 and 2009, class-action lawsuits (集体诉讼) were filed against SC Johnson for using "Green list" labels on its cleaning products. The lawsuits said that the label was misleading because it gave the impression that the products had been certified by a third party when the certification was the company's own."We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Green list system and we believe that we will prevail in these cases," Christopher Beard, director of public affairs for SC Johnson, said,while acknowledging that "this has been an area that is difficult to navigate."Companies have also taken it upon themselves to contest each other's green claims.David Mallen, associate director of the Council of Better Business Bureau, said in the last two years the organization had seen an increase in the number of claims companies were bringing against each other for false or misleading environmental product claims."About once a week, I have a client that will bring up a new certification I've never even heard of and I'm in this industry, saidKevin Wilhelm, chief executive officer of Sustainable Business Consulting. "It's kind of a Wild West, anybody can claim themselves to be green." Mr. Wilhelm said the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labels they should pay attention to.46. What do the revised "Green Guides" require businesses to do?A) Manufacture as many green products as possible.B) Indicate whether their products are recyclable.C) Specify in what way their products are green.D) Attach green labels to all of their products.47. What does the author say about consumers facing an explosion of green claims?A) They can easily see through the businesses' tricks.B) They have to spend lots of time choosing products.C) They have doubt about current green certification.D) They are not clear which products are truly green.48. What was SC Johnson accused of in the class-action lawsuits?A) It gave consumers the impression that all its products were truly green.B) It gave a third party the authority to label its products as environmentally friendly.C) It misled consumers to believe that its products had been certified by a third party.D) It sold cleaning products that were not included in the official "Green list".49. How did Christopher Beard defend his company's labeling practice?A) There were no clear guidelines concerning green labeling.B) His company's products had been well received by the public.C) It was in conformity to the prevailing practice in the market.D) No law required the involvement of a third party in certification.50. What does Kevin Wilhelm imply by saying "It's kind of a Wild West" (Line 3,Para. 11)?A) Businesses compete to produce green products.B) Each business acts its own way in green labeling.C) Consumers grow wild with products labeled green.D) Anything produced in the West can be labeled green.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.America's education system has become less a ladder of opportunity than a structure to transmit inequality from one generation to the next.That's why school reform is so critical. This is an issue of equality, opportunity and national conscience. It's not just about education, but about poverty and justice.It's true that the main reason inner-city schools do poorly isn't teachers' unions, but poverty.Southern states without strong teachers' ,unions have schools at least as awful as those in union states. Some Chicago teachers seem to think that they shouldn't be held accountable until poverty is solved. There're steps we can take that would make some difference, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying some of them—yet the union is resisting.I'd be sympathetic if the union focused solely on higher compensation. Teachers need to be much better paid to attract the best college graduates to the nation's worst schools.But,instead, the Chicago union seems to be using its political capital primarily to protect weak performers.There's solid evidence that there are huge differences in the effectiveness of teachers. The gold standard study by Harvard and Columbia University scholars found that even in high-poverty schools, teachers consistently had a huge positive or negative impact.Get a bottom 1% teacher, and the effect is the same as if a child misses 40% of the school year. Get a teacher from the top 20%, and it's as if a child has gone to school for an extra month or two.The study found that strong teachers in the fourth through eighth grades raised the skills of their students in ways that would last for decades. Just having a strong teacher for one elementary year left pupils a bit less likely to become mothers as teenagers, a bit more likely to go to college and earning more money at age 28.How does one figure out who is a weak teacher? Yes, that's a challenge. But researchers are improving systems to measure a teacher's performance throughout the year, and, with three years of data, ifs usually possible to tell which teachers are failing.Unfortunately, the union in Chicago is insisting that teachers who are laid off—often for being ineffective—should get priority in new hiring. That's an insult to students.Teaching is so important that it should be like other professions, with high pay and good working conditions but few job protections for bottom performers.This isn't a battle between garment workers and greedy bosses. The central figures in the Chicago schools strike are neither strikers nor managers but 350,000 children. Protectingthe union demand sacrifices those students, in effect turning a blind eye to the injustice in the education system.51. What do we learn about America's education system?A) It provides a ladder of opportunity for the wealthy.B) It contributes little to the elimination of inequality.C) It has remained basically unchanged for generations.D) It has brought up generations of responsible citizens.52. What is chiefly responsible for the undesirable performance of inner-city schools?A) Unqualified teachers. C) Unfavorable learning environment.B) Lack of financial resources. D) Subconscious racial discrimination.53. What does the author think the union should do to win popular support?A) Assist the city government in reforming schools. C) Demand higher pay for teachers.B) Give constructive advice to inner-city schools. D) Help teachers improve teaching.54. What is the finding of the gold standard study by Harvard and Columbia University scholars?A) Many inner-city school teachers are not equal to their jobs.B) A large proportion of inner-city children often miss classes.C) Many students are dissatisfied with their teachers.D) Student performance has a lot to do with teachers.55. Why does the author say the Chicago unions demand is an insult to students?A) It protects incompetent teachers at the expense of students.B) It underestimates students, ability to tell good teachersfrom poor ones.C) It makes students feel that they are discriminated against in many ways.D) It totally ignores students,initiative in the learning process.翻译Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.旗袍(qipao)是一种雅致的中国服装,源于中国的满族(Manchu Nationality)。

英语六级仔细阅读练习题原文:The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers,coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy,this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumersand supplies offered byseller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If,on the other hand,producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers,which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus,price is the regulating mechanism in the America economic system. The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individual are allowed to own productive resources (private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy,the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights,including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.英语六级仔细阅读练习题:1.In Para. 1," the desire of individuals to maximize theirincomes" means ___.A.Americans never feel satisfied with their incomes.B.Americans tend to overstate the amount of their incomes.C.Americans want to have their incomes increased.D.Americans want to increase the purchasing power of their incomes.2.The first two sentences in the second paragraph clarity the idea to us that ___.A.producers can satisfy the consumers by mechanized production.B.consumers can express their demands through producers.C.producers decide the prices of products.D.supply and demand regulate prices.3.The word "embraces" in Para. 3 probably parallels ___.A.enfoldB.hug/doc/761248641.html,prehendD.support4.According to the passage, a private-enterprise economy is characterized by ___.A.private property and rights concerned.B.manpower and natural resources control.C.ownership of productive resourcesD.free contracts and prices.5.The passage is mainly talking about ___.A.how American goods are produced.B.how American consumers buy their goods.C.how American economic system works.D.how American businessmanmake their profits英语六级仔细阅读练习题答案: DDCAC。

12月英语六级仔细阅读练习题及答案

12月英语六级仔细阅读练习题及答案12月英语六级仔细阅读练习题及答案Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local character,became first a national event and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international.No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B.C.The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is. uncertain, but events included boy's gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games.On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive laves placed on their heads. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory.Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities.How their results compared with modem standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling.After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, thegames were suspended by the Romans in 394 A.D.They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over 1,500 years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896.Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athletes' expenses.The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun's rays. It is carded by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolized the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it bums throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modem conception: the five inter locking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games.56. The Olympic Games became an international event since the games__________.A. lost the previous religious meaningsB. were accepted by all Greek peopleC. allowed foreign athletes to compete in itD. got official records and judge systems57. Compared with the modem Olympic Games, the ancient ones __________.A. covered every possible events for malesB. did not give due respect to womenC.attracted people from different countriesD. had more sports events than the modem ones58. In ancient Olympic Games, winners__________.A. could not get any award in money form from organizers of the GamesB. could earn a lot of money through the award given by the organizersC. could give his name to the year of his victory as a great honorD. were honored by having a ring of olive leaves around their waists59. According to the spirit of the ancient Olympic Games, __________.A. wars between countries could be avoided through sportsB. competition in sports led to wars between countriesC. healthy mind could reinforce a healthy bodyD. healthy mind could be fostered by a healthy body60. When athletes arrive at the host country,__________.A. the host country pays for their traveling expensesB. they are always not satisfied with the living conditionsC. their countries have to pay for their expenditureD. they use the training facilities immediately for adjustment.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with, I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about anyholiday. This still puzzles me. I am mystified (迷惑的) by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people Or at least more Western Europeans do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning.I have never understood this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking fife, if only because there is far less of it, but to me it is important. As if there were at least two extra continents added to the world, and lightning excursions running to them at any moment between midnight and breakfast. Then again, the dream fife,though queer and confusing and unsatisfactory in many respects, has its own advantages. The dead are there,smiling and talking. The part is there, sometimes all broken and confused but occasionally as fresh as a daisy. And perhaps, as Mr. Dunne tells us, the future is there too, winking at us. This dream life is often overshadowed (蒙上阴影) by huge mysterious anxieties, with luggage that cannot be packed and trains that refuse to be caught; and both persons and scenes there are not as dependable and solid as they are in waking life, so that Brown and Smith merge into one person while Robinson splits into two, and there are thick woods outside the bathroom door and the dining room is somehow part of a theatre balcony; and there are moments of loneliness or terror in the dream word that are worse than anything we have known under the sun. Yet this other life has its interests, its happiness, its satisfactions, and at certain rare intervals, a serene glow or a sudden joy, like glimpses of another form of existence altogether, that we cannot match with open eyes. Silly or wise, terrible orexcellent, it is a further helping of experience, a bonus after dark, another slice of life cut differently, for which, it seems to me, we are never sufficiently grateful. Only a dream! Why only? It was there and you had it."If there were dreams to sell," Beddoes inquires, "What would you pay?" I cannot say off hand, but certainly the price would be rather more than I could afford.61. When the author was young, he thought that __________.A. by dreaming people could live a better life indeedB. he was puzzled by the mysterious quality of dreamsC. it was astonishing that adults loved holidays so muchD. it was a pity that adults could not enjoy dreams62. According to the author, most Western Europeans __________.A. have ignored the important aspects of dreamsB. don't know how to enjoy life in their dreamsC. value dreams very highlyD. think of sneezing when thinking of dreams63. The advantageous aspect of dreams lies in __________.A. the short moments it has relieved people from the burden of lifeB. experiencing the impossible or unrealistic, even broken parts of lifeC. the refreshing power it endows people when they wake up in the morningD. the mystery it brings when in dream people can predict their future64. In the author's opinion, we should thank a dream because__________.A. it makes us enjoy a different lifeB. we can avoid terrible things in real lifeC. we can experience various emotions in dreamsD. it can help us regain the innocent moments of life65. What can be inferred from the author's answer to Beddoes' question?A. Dreams may be manufactured and sold in the near future.B. The price of a dream is ridiculously higher than expected.C. People are silly if they set a high value on dreams.D. The value of dreams is greater than we've imagined.Passage One【参考译文】在古希腊,运动节极其重要,并且具有很强的宗教意味。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的.大学英语六级CET仔细阅读习题答案,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!Since Andrew Benton graduated from college less than four years ago, he has dropped out of a Princeton Ph.D. program in economics, moved to rural Georgia to start a Web-software company that he’s trying to sell, and now works freelance (自由职业) for a cloud-computing company in Silicon Valley. He buys his own health insurance and contributes to his retirement accounts; neither his policy nor his accounts receive corporate contributions. Does his job instability and lack of benefits worry him? Nope. The 26-year-old does not expect to hold a traditional 9-to-5 job unless he starts his own business again, and he is not overly pessimistic about the recession’s long-term effect on his career. “I don’t pay that much attention to what is going on in the economy,” he says. “I just found stuff I was interested in.”Whatever you make of this attitude — smart, entitled, tech savvy (聪明的), risky, or bold — Benton is arguably the prototype (典型) of the new and perhaps ideal worker in the post-recession economy.Still, this savvy demographic group isn’t immune from the career setbacks of the recession. Workers born after 1980, who are having a harder time gaining a foothold in the job market, may face lower earnings over the next several years of their careers.Those who opt for traditional corporate careers have had toreadjust their expectations. For some young, well-educated workers such as 24-year-old Adrian Muniz, the recession has been startling. Muniz graduated from Brown University in 2007 and moved to New York City, expecting to easily find work at a magazine. Instead, he ended up working at high-end retail stores for the past three years and doing media internships on the side to build up his résumé.When the economy does pick up, experts warn that millennials, i.e. people born in or after 1980, may leave their companies for better jobs and higher paychecks. They will quit to travel the world, or simply because they did not like their boss. When more jobs become available, the millennials will use their tech savvy to promote themselves on other social networks. They will have no problem accepting contract, short-term work in place of a steadier paycheck. “The economy is actually creating a type of work that suits millennials well and does not suit baby boomers,” says Karl Ahlrichs, a human-resources consultant. In part, that’s because the economy is generating jobs in technology, computers, education, and health care that require serious technological, entrepreneurial, and creative skills as opposed to expertise in operations or management.Armed with their education, parental support, or savings, millennials seem to have plenty of answers when it comes to dealing with the current economy. Still, questions remain. In their 30s and 40s, will they start their own businesses rather than joining the ranks of middle management? Will their innovative and entrepreneurial streak survive as they move through adult rites (仪式) of passage such as buying houses, raising children, or caring for aging parents? Ask a millennial and they’ll tell you that they’ll find or invent new answers to such age-oldquestions.57.

Are some people born clever, and othersborn stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and ourexperiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. Tosome extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of specialeducation can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On theother hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop hisintelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus thelimits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not hereaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held bymost experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence isto some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationshipbetween two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus ifwe take two unrelated people at random(任意的) from the population,it is likely thattheir degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the otherhand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be asintelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents andchildren, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligencedepends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identicaltwins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example,to a university and the other to afactory where the work is boring. We wouldsoon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates thatenvironment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested bythe fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are notrelated at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.26. Which of these sentences bestdescribes the writer's point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is givenat birth.B. Intelligence is developed by theenvironment.C.

六级考试阅读全题型:仔细阅读

六级考试阅读全题型:仔细阅读六级考试阅读全题型:仔细阅读1.六级传统阅读的命题规律。

六级的传统阅读与四级相比,在形式上并没有太大的变化,只是篇幅略长。

同时,题型也基本一致。

在此总结一下具体规律:1)题目顺序与文章顺序基本一致。

注意这里讲的是基本一致,不是完全一致,也不是高度一致,意思是说在实际解题中经常能看到下一题的解题句出现在上一题的解题句之前,这就给我们定位带来了一定的难度,很多考生朋友习惯的是四级时高度一致,做完一道题就不再回头看,这样经常会无法在六级阅读中定位。

在此建议大家在定位时,还应该以关键词为准,除非实在不好找的才使用题目与文章顺序的关系。

2)五种题型的关系与六级阅读考察重点。

大家对于阅读题的普遍认识是有五种题型,分别为:细节题、主旨题、推断题、态度题和语义题。

那么这其中实际上是有内在联系的,细节题和主旨题是相对独立的关系,而推断题实际上并不要求考生根据文章的信息去推理和分析,而要从两个角度去思考,有的推断题在题干中会给出一些信息,如2007年12月22日的传统阅读的第58题:What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman’s lamentation?在这里我们看到推断题的信号词learn,同时又发现了一个专有名词(人名),说明此处的推断是从原文中引用句来的,需要去研究一下引用的具体语言,这种做法正是细节题的解题思路。

又如2009年6月20日传统阅读的第一题:We can learn from the first paragraph that______,这道题干也有信号词learn,但是又给出了第一段这个范围,可并没有说是根据哪一句,我们通常就要去研究一下这第一段的段落主旨来解决了,所以是主旨题的解题思路了。

通过这两个题干,我们会发现,推断题说到底是细节题和主旨题的变体考法,之所以叫推断是由于推断题的信息往往不是原文直接表述的,而是通过对比,比较,转折等手段间接说出来的,但具体做法还是细节题或主旨题。
