英语六级的模拟试题与真题解析

英语六级的模拟试题与真题解析一、阅读理解1. Passage 1As a child I sometimes spent a month at my Aunt Amelia's farm in Maine. One year, because of an emergency at home, I stayed there for mostof the summer. I was 14 then. During that time I learned a lot of things: how to swim in a pond, how to paddle a canoe(划独木舟), how to gather and stack firewood, how to pick berries, and how to milk (挤奶) a cow. But the one thing Aunt Amelia took special pride in was teaching a city boy something about life on a farm.One day, she said, "You can do it," and she brought me a hatchet(斧) and pointed to a spot a safe distance from the house. I wondered why anyone would chop down a tree on purpose. But she never doubted. I still marvel at her optimism. She believed in me before I knew how to believe in myself.It took most of an hour until I finally chopped the tree down, with Aunt Amelia's encouragement. I was covered with sweat and sawdust, but I feltlike a new person. I knew how to take care of myself and how to take care of something else, something as alive as a tree.My Aunt Amelia is gone now, but she is still with me. Whenever I face a difficult task or must make a difficult decision, I think of her. She gave me a gift that summer—she gave me confidence.该篇文章主要讲述了作者在阿姨阿梅利亚的农场度过的一个夏天，通过教授他一些乡村生活技巧，包括伐树等，培养了他对自我的信心。

大学英语六级(阅读)模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语六级（阅读）模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. You have a wide spectrum of nutrition and lifestyle choices. It’s not all or nothing. To the degree you move in a healthful direction on this spectrum. You’re likely to feel better, look better, lose weight and gain health. People have different needs, goals and preferences. The medicine of the future is personalized medicine. What matters most is your overall way of eating and living. If you indulge yourself one day, you can eat more healthfully the next. If you’re a couch potato one day, exercise a little more the next. If you don’t have time to meditate for 20 minutes, do it for one minute —the consistency is more important than the duration. Then, you’re less likely to feel restricted. Studies have shown that those who eat the healthiest overall are the ones who allow themselves some indulgences. If you’re trying to reverse heart disease or prevent the recurrence of cancer(the “pound of cure”), then you probably need to make much bigger changes in diet and lifestyle than someone who just wants to lose a few pounds and is otherwise healthy(the “ounce of prevention”). If you want to lower your cholesterol(胆固醇)or blood pressure, you can begin by making moderate changes in diet and lifestyle. If that’s enough to achieve your goals, great; if not, then consider making bigger changes. For example, most people in this country have elevated cholesterol levels. They are initially advised to follow a diet based on the American Heart Association and National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines. For some, that’s sufficient to lower their cholesterol levels enough, but not for most people. Many are then told, “Sorry, it looks like diet didn’t work for you. “And they are prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs, which they are told they will need to take for the rest of their lives. In reality, most people can make progressively bigger changes in nutrition and lifestyle to achieve their goals —often without medications.2. Even more than feeling healthy, most people want to feel free and in control. The food police are counterproductive. If I tell people, “Eat mis and don’t eat that,”or “Don’t smoke,”they immediately want to do the opposite. It’s just human nature, and it goes back to the first dietary intervention that failed —“Don’t eat the apple”—and that was God talking, so we’re not likely to do better than that... If you go on a diet and feel constrained, you’re likely to go off it sooner or later. Offering a spectrum of choices is much more effective; then, you feel free. If you see your food choices each day as part of a spectrum, a way of living, then you are more likely to feel empowered.3. Eating bad food does not make you a bad person. The language of behavioral modification often has a moralistic quality that turns off a lot of people(like “ cheating” on a diet). It’s a small step from thinking of foods as “good”or “bad” to seeing yourself as a “good person” or a “bad person” if you eat these. The term “patient compliance” has a fascist, creepy quality to it, sounding like one person bending his or her will to another. Food is just food.4. How you eat is as important as what you eat. If I eat mindlessly while watching television, reading or talking with someone else, I can go through an entire meal without tasting the food. The plate is empty, but I didn’t enjoy it; I had all of the calories and none of the pleasure.Instead, if I eat mindfully, paying attention to what I’m eating, smaller portions of food can be exquisitely satisfying. I can meditate on a single piece of dark chocolate. Also, when you pay attention to what you’re eating, you notice how different foods affect you, for better and for worse. More healthful foods make you feel good —light, clear, energetic. Less healthful foods make you feel bad —heavy, dull, sluggish. Then, it comes out of your own experience.5. Joy of living is a much better motivator than fear of dying. Trying to scare people into changing doesn’t work very well. Telling someone that they’re likely to have a heart attack if they eat cheeseburgers or may get lung cancer if they don’t quit smoking doesn’t work very well. Efforts to motivate people to change based on fear of getting sick or dying prematurely are generally unsuccessful. Why? It’s too scary. We all know we’re going to die one day —the mortality rate is still 100 percent —but who wants to think about it? Even someone who has had a heart attack usually changes for only a few weeks before they go back to their old patterns of living and eating. When you change your diet and lifestyle, you feel good and look good. Your brain receives more blood and oxygen, so you think more clearly, have more energy and need less sleep. Your face gets more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. Your heart gets more blood flow, so you have more stamina and can even begin to reverse heart disease.6. What we do eat is at least as important as what we don’t eat. There are at least a thousand substances that have anticancer, anti-heart-disease and anti-aging properties. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, soy products and fish are rich in good carbohydrates, good fats, good proteins and other protective substances , leading to feelings of abundance rather than deprivation.7. It’s important to address the deeper issues that underlie our behaviors. Information is not usually enough to motivate lasting changes. If it were, no one would smoke. We need to work at a deeper level. In our studies, I asked people, “Why do you smoke? Overeat? Drink too much? Work too hard? Abuse substances? Watch too much television? These behaviors seem so maladaptive to me. “They would reply, “ You just don’t get it. These behaviors are very adaptive because they help us get through the day. “As I wrote in an earlier column, loneliness and depression are epidemic in our culture. If we address these deeper issues, then it becomes easier for people to make lasting changes in their behaviors.11．The author has proved the power of changes in diet and lifestyle by______.A．the most advanced technologyB．some simple measuresC．data collected all over the U. S.D．theoretical analysis正确答案：A解析：第一段末讲他们的研究表明“饮食和生活方式的变化对人的影响巨大”，第二段介绍了他们证明(prove how powerful…)这种“干预”(interventions)的威力的手段——最新的科技手段(the latest high technical measures)。

英语六级阅读理解全真模拟练习

英语六级阅读理解全真模拟练习英语六级阅读理解全真模拟练习二：Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We dont always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words dont mean anything except “ Im letting off some steam. I dont really want you to pay close attention to what Im saying. Just pay attention to what Im feeling.” Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, “This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.” The owner says, “ Its been like that for years.” Actually, the step hasnt been like that for years, but the unspoken message is: “ I dont want to fix it. We put up with it. Why cant you?” The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great dealmore than the frequency of the behavior. A friends unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says “No!” to a serials of charges like “Youre dumb,”“Youre lazy,” and “Youre dishonest,” may also say “No!” and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is “And youre good looking.”We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, “If sure has been nice to have you over,” can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.1.Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if ___.A.they use proper words to carry their ideas.B.they both speak truly of their own feelings.C.they try to understand each others ideas beyond words.D.they are capable of associating meaning with their words.2.“Im letting off some steam” in paragraph 1 means___.A.Im just calling your attention.B.Im just kidding.C.Im just saying the opposite.D.Im just giving off some sound.3.The house-owners example shows that he actually means___.A.the step has been like that for years.B.he doesnt think it necessary to fix the step.C.the condition of the step is only a minor fault.D.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared.4.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if___.A.linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness.B.seen as ones habitual pattern of behavior.C.taken as part of an ordering sequence.D.expressed to a series of charges.5.The word “ritualistically” in the last paragraph equals something done___.A.without true intention.B.light-heartedly.C.in a way of ceremony.D.with less emphasis.答案：DBABC。

英语六级考试阅读理解模拟题及答案（2）

英语六级考试阅读理解模拟题及答案（2）文章精要文章指出，目前美国大学在录取新生时，仍然比较看重分数。

在一些学校里由于奖学金政策的执行，学生的分数迅速攀升。

考试的拥护者指出，考试有必要存在，因为它给学生提供了展示自我的平台，而这也无疑会给学生带来巨大的压力。

答案解析1. E 本题的出题点在E段的最后一句话，属于数字题。

从原文可以看出，申请者的人数为47,317，而获得4.0或者4.0以上分数者的人数接近23,000，由此可知比例接近50%。

2. F 本题是F段的总结。

原文提到，对学生的选拔最为严格的学校也越来越难以参与到降低标准考试的影响的活动中来，也就是说，这些学校很难降低标准考试的影响。

3. K 本题的出题点在K段的最后两句话，属于数字题。

More than 30 years ago可推测应该是上世纪七八十年代，对应原文的1975年;从原文可以看出，在大一新生中，2005年在高中取得A或者更好成绩的人数差不多是总人数的!%%，而在1975年时此比例减半，大约为11.5%。

4. H 本题的出题点在H段。

原文提到最近标准考试有一些负面影响，许多学校已经停止要求用考试分数来评判学生。

题干的negative effects转述了原文的bad publicity。

5. D 本题是对D段前两句话的同义转述。

原文提到：有些人把Zalasky的努力这种现象称为“分数膨胀”，暗示他的这种进步不值得接受，而其他人认为那些学生真正赢得了好的评价，题干中的win the praise for him同义转述了原文中的earning their better marks。

6. B 本题的出题点在B段的第一句和第五句。

原文提到even Zalasky is nervous about his prospects。

接着在第五句中提到了原因：It’s that so many of his classmates are so good.由此可知题目是这两句的总结。

大学英语六级改革适用(长篇阅读)模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语六级改革适用（长篇阅读）模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 4. Reading ComprehensionPart III Reading ComprehensionSection BThe Happiness Effect[A]The next time you get the flu, there will almost certainly be someone you can blame for your pain. There’s the inconsiderate co-worker who decided to drag himself to the office and spent the day sniffling, sneezing and shivering in the cubicle next to yours. Or your child’s best friend, the one who showed up for a playdate with a runny nose and a short supply of tissues. Then there’s the guy at the gym who spent more time sneezing than sweating on the treadmill before you used it.[B]You’re right to pass the blame. Pathogens(致病菌)like the influenza virus pass like a holiday fruitcake from person to person, but you probably don’t think much past the one who gave it directly to you. An infectious-disease expert, on the other hand, would not be satisfied to stop there. What about the person who passed the virus on to your colleague, the one before him and others earlier still? Contagious(传染性的)diseases operate like a giant infectious network, spreading like the latest YouTube clip among friends of friends online. We’re social animals; we share.[C]So public-health experts are beginning to wonder whether certain health-related behaviors are just as contagious as microbes. If you’re struggling with your weight, did you in effect catch a case of fat by learning poor eating and exercise habits from a friend or family member who was similarly infected by someone else? If you smoke, do you light up because you were behaviorally contaminated by smokers who convinced you of the coolness of the habit? Even more important, if such unhealthy behaviors are contagious, are healthy ones —like quitting smoking or exercising —equally so? And what if not only behaviors but also moods and mental states work the same way? Can you catch a case of happy?[D]Increasingly, the answer seems to be yes. That’s the intriguing conclusion from a body of work by Harvard social scientist Dr. Nicholas Christakis and his political-science colleague James Fowler at the University of California at San Diego. The pair created a sensation with their announcement earlier this month of a 20-year study showing that emotions can pass among a network of people up to three degrees of separation away, so your joy may, to a larger extent than you realize, be determined by how cheerful your friends’ friends’ friends are, even if some of the people in this chain are total strangers to you.[E]If that’s so, it creates a whole new paradigm for the way people get sick and, more important, how to get them healthy. It may mean that an individual’s well-being is the product not just of his behaviors and emotions but more of the way they feed into a larger social network. Think of it as health Facebook-style. “We have a collective identity as a population that transcends individual identity,”says Christakis. “This superorganism has an anatomy(解剖学),physiology, structure and function that we are trying to understand.”[F]In their most recent paper, published in the British Medical Journal, Christakis and Fowler explored the emotional state of nearly 5,000 people and the more than 50,000 social ties they shared. At three points during the long study, all the participants answered a standard questionnaire to determine their happiness level, so that the scientists could track changes in emotional state.[G]That led to their intriguing finding of just how contagious happiness can be: if a subject’s friend was happy, that subject was 15% more likely to be happy too; if that friend’s friend was happy, the original subject was 10% more likely to be so. Even if the subject’s friend’s friend’s friend —entirely unknown to the subject —was happy, the subject still got a 5.6% boost. The happiness chain also worked in the other direction, radiating from the subject out to his friends.[H]The happiness dividend is more powerful if two people not only know each other but also are equally fond of each other. Happiness is more infectious in mutual relationships(in which both people name the other as a friend)than in unreciprocated ones(in which only one is named).[I]And it’s not just in sterile(枯燥乏味的)study settings that the contagion of happiness is spreading. Christakis and Fowler noticed that people who are smiling on their Facebook pages tend to cluster together, forming an online social circle like a delirious flock of cyberbirds. And while some of this joy can certainly be traced to the copycat effect —if your friends post smiling pictures, you might feel like a grouch(不高兴的人)if you don’t too —Christakis and Fowler are analyzing the clusters to see if something more infectious might be at work.[J]Skeptics raise other concerns, ones that go beyond the copycat effect. Couldn’t happy people simply be exposed to similar lifestyles or social factors that explain their shared joy, such as favorable weather, low unemployment rates or a winning baseball team? If that were the case, argue the authors, then happiness would spread more uniformly among all the relationships; instead, it varied depending on whether the friendship was mutual or merely one-sided. As the investigators teased out these factors, they found that environment didn’t have nearly the power that relationships did.[K]The infectiousness of happiness is only the latest in a series of similar phenomena Christakis and Fowler have stud-ied. In 2007 they published a paper showing that obesity travels across webs in a similar way, with individuals having a 57% greater risk of being overweight if they have an obese friend. The same holds true for quitting smoking, with success 30% more common among friends of quitters than among friends of smokers.[L]In all these cases, there’s a predictable topography(地形)to how people influence one another, one that can be reduced to a sort of social map. People who are central to their networks —who in effect are the hub through which most of the other relationships or information flows —may have the most influence on others and in turn are the most influenced by them. But just because you start off at the center of your web does not guarantee that you’ll stay there. In the 1970s, smokers were more likely to occupy that focal position in their network of friends and family. Look at a similar social map today, and you’ll see that the smokers have drifted to the periphery(外围).[M]The better this kind of mapping becomes, the more value it has.[N]Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)are exploiting the connectedness of youngsters in online socialnetworks, for example, to improve flu-vaccination rates, not just among those under age 18 but among all the people to whom these children have ties. “Because of their social and peer networks, children have a higher likelihood of sharing information with the most people,”says Jay Bernhardt of the CDC. By targeting youngsters on these sites with information about the importance of annual flu shots, health officials hope to trigger a literal and figurative viral wave of vaccination among the kids’ peers, their peers’ peers, and even those peers’ parents and grandparents.[O]”We are always looking for exciting new areas of research that will help people live healthier,” says Richard Suzman, director of the division of behavioral and social research at the National Institute on Aging. “Without a doubt, I see this as a very promising area.”And with the health community a web like any other, expect that idea to spread further and further.1．Environmental factors couldn’t explain people’s shared joy, because the spreading of happiness varied among different relationships.正确答案：J解析：根据题干中的explain people’s shared joy,varied将本题出处定位于[J]段第2、3句。

CET6阅读模拟题2篇.doc

2018年12月CET6阅读模拟题2篇第一篇In the last two hundred years there have been great changes in the method of production of goods. This is now also true of the building industry; for mechanization has been introduced. System building can save both time and money. The principle of system building is that the building is made from a set of standard units. These are either made at the building-site or at a factory. Some designers, in fact, are standardizing the dimensions of rooms. They are made in multiples of a single fixed length, usually ten centimeters. This is called a modular (标准件的) system, and it means that manufactures can produce standardized fittings at a lower cost. The most important fact about system building is its speed. A ten-storey flat, for example, can be completed in four months.There are several new methods of system building. One is the panel method. In this case, the construction company sometimes erects a factory on the site. The walls and floors of the building, called panels, are cast in a horizontal or vertical position. Conduits for electrical wires and sleeves for pipes are cast in the panels when they are being made. The moulds for making these castings are situated all around the building.After the concrete panels are cast, they are allowed to set andharden for a week. Next they are lifted by a tower crane on to any section of the building. There the panels are cemented together at their joints and the floor covering is laid.After the panels have been cemented together, the crane lifts a case into the area. It contains all the fittings to be installed, such as wash-basins, radiators and pipes. Finishing tradesmen, such as plumbers, plasterers, painters and electricians, follow behind to complete the work.In some building developments, in some countries, whole flats with internal features like their bathrooms, bedrooms and connecting stairs, and weighing as much as twenty tons, are carried to the building-site ready-made. A giant overhead crane is used to lift them into position. In the future, this method may become more widespread.1. The main difference between panel method and the method discussed in the last paragraph is_______.A. the latter uses ready-made internal featuresB. panels are cast in a level positionC. the former is used to build walls and floors while the latter to construct bathrooms or bedroomsD. the former is more expensive than the latter2. Which of these statements is TRUE of system building?A. It employs more men.B. It is difficult and dangerous.C. It can save both time and money.D. It means less mechanization.3. According to the passage, the principle of system building is that_______.A. construction methods are saferB. buildings are made from a set of standardized unitsC. similar buildings can be producedD. all units are produced on the site4. The usual fixed length in the modular system is_______.A. twenty centimetersB. ten millimetersC. fifty centimetersD. ten centimeters5. What lifts the concrete panels onto the building?A. Cranes.B. Man-power.C. Pulleys.D. Hydraulic jacks.答案1. A2. C3. B4. D5. A第二篇For as long as humans have raised crops as a source of food and other products, insects have damaged them. Between 1870 and 1880, locusts ate millions of do llars’ worth of crops in the Mississippi Valley. Today in the United States the cotton boll weevil damagesabout 300 million dollars’ worth of crops each year. Additional millions are lost each year to the appetites of other plant-eating insects. Some of these are corn borers, gypsy moths, potato beetles, and Japanese beetles.In modern times, many powerful insecticides(杀虫剂) have been used in an attempt to destroy insects that damage crops and trees. Some kinds of insecticides, when carefully used, have worked well. Yet the same insecticides have caused some unexpected problems. In one large area, an insecticide was used against Japanese beetles, which eat almost any kind of flower or leaf. Shortly afterward, the number of corn borers almost doubled. As intended, the insecticide had killed many Japanese beetles. But it had killed many of the insect enemies of the corn borer as well.In another case, an insecticide was used in Louisiana to kill the troublesome fire ant. The insecticide did not kill many fire ants. It did kill several small animals. It also killed some insect enemies of the sugarcane borer, a much more destructive pest than the fire ants. As a result, the number of sugarcane borers increased and severely damaged the sugarcane crop.To be sure that one insect pest will not be traded for another when an insecticide is used, scientists must perform careful experiments and do wide research. The experiments and researchprovide knowledge of the possible hazards an insecticide may bring to plant and animal communities. Without such knowledge, we have found that nature sometimes responds to insecticides in unexpected ways.1. An insecticide was used in Louisiana to kill the troublesome______.A. corn borerB. Japanese beetleB. gypsy moth D. fire ant2. While it is not directly stated, the article suggests that______.A. insecticides are not dangerous to any small animalsB. insecticides do not always accomplish their purposesC. insecticides are no longer being used to kill insectsD. insecticides do no harm to people3. On the whole, the article tells about______.A. the appetites of plant-eating insectsB. the best way to kill boll weevilsC. the dangers in using insecticidesD. the best way to grow crops4. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. All changes are predictable.B. Nothing ever changes in nature.C. Nature is not always predictable.D. Nature always serves man well.5. Scientists perform careful experiments and do wide research because______.A. they must learn to destroy all the insects that we needB. they must be sure one insect pest is not traded for anotherC. research keeps them from inventing new insecticide for the cropsD. research helps them find a way to kill all insects答案1. D2. B3. C4. C5. B。

大学英语六级阅读理解模拟题及答案

大学英语六级阅读理解模拟题及答案英语六级阅读理解模拟题一：If the old maxim that the customer is always right still has meaning, then the airlines that ply the world’s busiest air route between London and Paris have a flight on their hands.The Eurostar train service linking the UK and French capitals via the Channel Tunnel is winning customers in increasing numbers. In late May, it carried its one millionth passenger, havingrun only a limited service between London, Paris and Brussels since November 1994, starting with two trains a day in each direction to Paris and Brussels. By 1997, the company believes that itwill be carrying ten million passengers a year, and continue to grow from there.From July, Eurostar steps its service to nine trains each way between London and Paris, and five between London and Brussels. Each train carries almost 800 passengers, 210 of them in firstclass.The airlines estimate that they will initially lose around 15%-20% oftheir London-Paris traffic to the railways once Eurostar starts a full service later this year 1995, with 15 trains aday each way. A similar service will start to Brussels. The damage will be limited, however, the airlines believe, with passenger numbers returning to previous levels within two to three years.In the short term, the damage caused by the 1 million people-levels traveling between London and Paris and Brussels on Eurostar trains means that some air services are already suffering. Someof the major carriers say that their passenger numbers are down by less than 5% and point to their rivals-Particularly Air France-as having suffered the problems. On the Brussels route, therailway company had less success, and the airlines report anything from around a 5% drop to no visible decline in traffic.The airlines’ optimism on returning traffic levels is based on historical precedent. British Midland, for example, points to its experience on Heathrow Leeds Bradford service which sawpassenger numbers fold by 15% when British Rail electrified and modernized the railway line between London and Yorkshire. Two years later, travel had risen between the two destinations to thepoint where the airline was carrying record numbers of passengers.1.British airlines confide in the fact that__.A.they are more powerful than other European airlines.B.their total loss won’t go beyond a drop of 5% passengers.C.their traffic levels will return in 2-3 years.D.traveling by rail can never catch up with traveling by air.2.The author’s attitude towards the drop of passengers may be described as__.A.worried.B.delightedC.puzzled.D.unrivaled.3.In the passage, British Rail Para 6 is mentioned to__.A.provide a comparison with Eurostar.B.support the airlines’ optimism.C.prove the inevitable drop of air passengers.D.call for electrification and modernization of the railway.4.The railway’s Brussels route is brought forth to show that__.A.the Eurostar train service is not doing good business.B.the airlines can well compete with the railway.C.the Eurostar train service only caused little damage.D.only some airlines, such as Air France, are suffering.5.The passage is taken from the first of an essay, from which we may well predict that in the following part the author is going to__.A.praise the airlines’ clear-mindedness.B.warn the airlines of high-speed rail services.C.propose a reduction of London/Paris flights.D.advise the airlines to follow British Midland as their model.答案：CABCB英语六级阅读理解模拟题二：Without regular supplies of some hormones our capacity to behave would be seriously impaired; without others we would soon die. Tiny amounts of some hormones can modify moods and actions, ourinclination to eat or drink, our aggressiveness or submissiveness, and our reproductive and parental behavior. And hormones do more than influence adult behavior; early in life they help todetermine the development of bodily form and may even determine an individual’s behavioral capacities. Later in life the changing outputs of some endocrine glands and the body’s changingsensitivity to some hormones are essential aspects of the phenomena of aging.Communication within the body and the consequent integration of behavior were considered the exclusive province of the nervous system up to the beginning of the present century. The emergenceof endocrinology as a separate discipline can probably be traced to the experiments of Bayliss and Starling on the hormone secretion. This substanceis secreted from cells in the intestinalwalls when food enters the stomach; it travels through the bloodstream and stimulates the pancreas to liberate pancreatic juice, which aids in digestion. By showing that special cells secretchemical agents that are conveyed by the bloodstream and regulatedistant target organs or tissues. Bayliss and starling demonstrated that chemical integration could occur without participationof the nervous system.The term “hormone” was first used with reference to secretion. Starling derived the term from the Greek hormone, meaning “to excite or set in motion. T he term “endocrine” was introducedshortly thereafter “Endocrine” is used to refer to glands that secret products into the bloodstream. The term “endocrine” contrasts with “exocrine”, which is applied to glands that secret theirproducts though ducts to the site of action. Examples of exocrine glandsare the tear glands, the sweat glands, and the pancreas, which secrets pancreatic juice through a duct into theintestine. Exocrine glands are also called duct glands, while endocrine glands are called ductless.1.What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A.To explain the specific functions of various hormones.B.To provide general information about hormones.C.To explain how the term “hormone” evolved.D.To report on experiments in endocrinology.2.The passage supports which of the following conclusions?A.The human body requires large amounts of most hormones.B.Synthetic hormones can replace a person’s natural supply of hormones if necessary.C.The quantity of hormones produced and their effects on the body are related to a person’s age.D.The short child of tall parents very likely had a hormone deficiency early in life.3.It can be inferred from the passage that before the Bayliss and Starling experiments, most people believed that chemical integration occurred only___.A.during sleep.B.in the endocrine glands.C.under control of the nervous system.D.during strenuous exercise.4.The word “liberate” could best be replaced by which of the following?A.EmancipateB.DischargeC.SurrenderD.Save5.According to the passage another term for exocrine glands is___.A.duct glandsB.endocrine glandsC.ductless glandsD.intestinal glands.答案：BDCBA感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

2019年大学英语六级阅读模拟试题（2）Its true that high-school coding classes arent essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellons School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that its not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. Its not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps thats become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but we try to gear lessons toward things theyreinterested in, said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably wont drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the Ruby on Rails language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn how to think logically through a problem and organize the results apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that the better.1. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.A. complete future job trainingB. remodel the way of thinkingC. formulate logical hypothesesD. perfect artwork production2. In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.A. experienceB. academic backgroundsC. career prospectsD. interest3. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will____.A. help students learn other computer languagesB. have to be upgraded when new technologies comeC. need improving when students look for jobsD. enable students to make big quick money4. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.A. compete with a future army of programmersB. stay longer in the information technology industryC. become better prepared for the digitalized worldD. bring forth innovative computer technologies5. The word coax (Line4, Para.6) is closest in meaning to____.A. challengeB. persuadeC. frightenD. misguide参考答案及解析1.B remodel the way of thinking.Reshape 重塑remold 重塑Mold 名词-模型模子动词-形成塑造解析：此题是文中人物观点题。

第一部分：阅读理解阅读理解是英语六级考试的主要内容之一，以下是一道典型的阅读理解题目：Passage 1It is time to stop pretending. High fuel prices are here to stay. Yes, prices may see-saw, but the general trend is only going one way - north. So what will it mean for our lives? While it is tempting to say that the answer lies in turning a blind eye or hoping that oil will start gushing forth from the ground again, the only sensible answer is to find ways of using less fuel. But how?One possible solution is to drive less, and to make fewer plane and bus journeys. Better use of the telephone can reduce long journeys to meetings. But often a journey cannot be avoided, unless of course, you can do part of it virtually. A video conference can be a good substitute for a physical one. It saves time, money, and above all, fuel.Another thought is to travel together. Why drive to work alone? Surely someone lives near you and wants to share your transport? It is worth thinking about.Shopping over the internet is another way of reducing fuel consumption. Of course, you still have to get the goods from your front door to theirs, but you do eliminate the long journey to the shops.Finally, the way we design our communities can reduce fuel consumption. By putting housing, work, and shops near each other, we create "walkable communities" where we can walk or cycle to our destination.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Fuel prices are constantly fluctuating.B. The only solution is to find ways of using less fuel.C. Driving less will solve the problem of high fuel prices.D. People should share transport to work.解析：B。

六级阅读理解模拟练习附答案

六级阅读理解模拟练习附答案六级阅读理解模拟练习1：Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions in the air can have an ill effect on peoples physical or psychological health. What are positive ions? Well， the air is full of ions， electrically charged particles， and generally there is a rough balance between the positive and the negative charged. But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found. This happens naturally before thunderstorm， earthquakes when winds such as the Mistral， Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries. Or it can be caused by a build-up of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibres， or from TV sets， duplicators or computer display screens.When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experience unpleasant effects such as headaches， fatigue， irritability，and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance. Animals are also affected， particularly before earthquakes，snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation， rats to flee from their burrows， dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably. This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California.Conversely， when large numbers of negative ions are present， then people have a feeling of well-being. Natural conditions that produce these large amounts are near the sea， close to waterfalls or fountains， or in any place where water is sprayed， or forms a spray. This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea， or in the mountains with tumbling streams or waterfalls.To increase the supply of negative ions indoors， some scientists recommend the use of ionisers： small portable machines， which generate negative ions. They claim that ionisers not only clean and refresh the air but also improve the health of people sensitive to excess positive ions. Of course， there are the detractors， other scientists， who dismiss such claims and are skeptical about negative/positive ion research. Therefore people can only make up their own minds by observing the effects on themselves， or on others， of a negative rich or poor environment. After all it is debatable whether depending on seismic readings to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than watching the cat.1.What effect does exceeding positive ionization have on some people?A.They think they are insane.B.They feel rather bad-tempered and short-fussed.C.They become violently sick.D.They are too tired to do anything.2.In accordance with the passage， static electricity can be caused by___.ing home-made electrical goods.B.wearing clothes made of natural materials.C.walking on artificial floor coverings.D.copying TV programs on a computer.3.A high negative ion count is likely to be found___.A.near a pound with a water pump.B.close to a slow-flowing river.C.high in some barren mountains.D.by a rotating water sprinkler.4.What kind of machine can generate negative ions indoors?A.Ionisers.B.Air-conditioners.C.Exhaust-fansD.Vacuum pumps.5.Some scientists believe that___.A.watching animals to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than depending on seismography.B.the unusual behavior of animals cannot be trusted.C.neither watching nor using seismographs is reliable.D.earthquake答案：BCDAA六级阅读理解模拟练习2：Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families， while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children. These roles were firmly fixed for most people，and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles. But by the middle of this century， mens and womens roles were becoming less firmly fixed.In the 1950s， economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture. The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in childcare， men began to sharechild-raising tasks with their wives. In fact， some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes. In addition， many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.In terms of numbers， the counterculture was not a very large group of people. But its influence spread to many parts of American society. Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns. Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on “overtime” work so that they could spend more leisure time with theirfamilies. Some doctors， lawyers， and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.In the 1970s， the feminist movement， or womens liberation， produced additional economic and social changes. Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers. Most of them still took traditional womens jobs as public school teaching， nursing，and secretarial work. But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations： police work， banking， dentistry， and construction work. Women were asking for equal work， and equal opportunities for promotion.Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women. Naturally， there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations.1.Which of the following best express the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.Women usually worked outside the home for wages.B.Men and womens roles were easily exchanged in the past.C.Mens roles at home were more firmly fixed than womens.D.Men and womens roles were usually quite separated in the past.2.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.The first sentence.B.The second and the third sentences.C.The fourth sentence.D.The last sentence.3.In the passage the author proposes that the counterculture___.A.destroyed the United States.B.transformed some American values.C.was not important in the United States.D.brought people more leisure time with their families.4.It could be inferred from the passage that___.A.men and women will never share the same goals.B.some men will be willing to exchange their traditional male roles.C.most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wives.D.more American households are headed by women than ever before.5.The best title for the passage may be ___.A.Results of Feminist MovementsB.New influence in American LifeC.Counterculture and Its consequenceD.Traditional Division of Male and Female Roles.答案：DCBCB。

英语六级阅读理解模拟题3篇

英语六级阅读理解模拟题3篇Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A)， B)， C) and D)。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Acculturation, which begins at birth, is the process of teaching new generations of children the customs and values of the parents culture. How people treat newborns, for example, can be indicative of cultural values. In the United States it is not uncommon for parents to put a newborn in a separate room that belongs only to the child. This helps to preserve parents privacy and allows the child to get used to having his or her own room, which is seen as a first step toward personal independence. Americans traditionally have held independence and a closely related value, individualism, in high esteem. Parents try to instill theseprevailing values in their children. American English expresses these value preferences: children should cut the (umbilical) cord and are encouraged not to be tied to their mothers apron strings. In the process of their socialization children learn to look out for number one and to stand on their own two feet。

Many illustrations (例证) could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists is the extent to which peoples judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure. Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particular changeable people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used.In a typical experiment, this is what may happen. The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception. The victims are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are collaborating(合作) with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card, one is shorter and one the same length. They have to saywhich line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes he is faced with the unanimous (全都的 ) opinion of the rest of the group—all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct. What will he do? According to Asch, more than half of the victims chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that, when interviewed about their answers, most explained that they know the group choice was incorrect but that they yield to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion, or because they were afraid of being different.26. The psychologists are particularly interestedin_______.A. the changes in the attitudes of the peopleB. the degree of changes of peoples opinionsC. the result of the experimentD. the difference in peoples characters27. People who are usually chosen to take part in the experiments are_______.A. stubborn and independentB. intelligentC. ignorant and docileD. capable of reasoning28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The experimenter and all the members of the group except the victim know the purpose of the experiment.B. All of them know the purpose of the experiment.C. Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment.D. Only the victim knows the purpose of the experiment.29. More than half of the victims changed their opinion because_______.A. someone in the group changed their opinionB. they thought their eyes must be deceivedC. they thought the group choice was correct.D. they had been told about the answer30. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to_______.A. illustrate the influence of the groups pressure on individuals behaviorB. invite more volunteers to join in Aschs experimentC. tell the audience how to perform psychological experimentD. encourage people to act against the groups opinion参考答案26.

英语六级考试阅读模拟题(一)The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties ? and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortlybefore their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.21. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to_______.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school22. We are told that in an average family about 1900_______.A. many children died before they lived to more than fiveB. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five23. Many girls, the passage claims, are now likely to_______.A. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry so that they can get a jobD. continue working until they are going to have a baby24. One reason why a woman today may take a job is that she_______.A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after .themselvesB. does not like children herselfC. need not worry about food for her childrenD. can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty25. Nowadays, a husband tends to_______.A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing much of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with his role in the familyD. take a part-time job so that he can help in the home英语六级考试阅读模拟题答案21.

B英语六级考试阅读模拟题(二)Of all the continents, the most drastic reduction in wildlife has occurred in North America, where the transition from a rural to a highly industrialized society has been most rapid. Among the victims are birds, mammals, and fish. We will never again see the passenger pigeon or the eastern elk. They have been wiped out. Of many other species, only a few representatives still survive in the wild. The U. S. Department of the Interior has put no fewer than 109 species on the endangered species list. (An endangered species is one with poor prospects for survival and in need of protection. ) This list includes everything from the timber wolf to the whooping crane. Even the bald eagle, our national symbol, is threatened.Animals that kill other game for food are called predators. The predators include the wolf, mountain lion, fox, bobcat, and bear. Attack against these animals began with the arrival of the first European settlers, who wished to protect their livestock. Eventually, a reward was offered to hunters for every predator that was killed. This reward is called a bounty. Ironically, the Federal government is the chief founder of predator-control programs.The settlers also brought in their Old World fears and superstitions concerning predators. Whether preying (捕食) onlivestock or not, predators were shot on sight. This attitude continues to this day for coyotes, eagles, foxes, mountain lions, and bobcats, and is largely responsible for placing the eastern timber wolf, grizzly bear, and bald eagle on the endangered species list.Yet every animal, including the predator, has its place in nature's grand design. Predators help maintain the health of their prey species by eliminating the diseased, young, old and injured. Predators like the mountain lion and the wolf help to keep the deer herds healthy. Occasional loss of livestock must be weighed against the good these animals do in maintaining the balance of nature.26. In North America, the number of wild animals has reduced most greatly mainly 112because_______.A. the birds, mammals and fish there are most predatorsB. the development there has been at the highest paceC. only a few species still live in the worldD. many species have been put on the endangered species list27. The first European settlers killed predators chiefly in order to_______.A. eat their meatB. protect themselvesC. please the Federal governmentD. protect their livestock28. Some animal species are in danger of disappearing altogether from the earth as a result of_______.A. people's superstitious attitudeB. people's dislike of some animals, such as bald eagleC. people's hunting gamesD. the self-killing of the predators29. Bounty hunters are people who_______.A. take care of wilderness areasB. preserve our wildlifeC. kill meat-eating animals for moneyD. work in the fund of predator-control programs30. According to the writer, even if the meat-eating animals sometimes caused losses of livestock, man should_______.A. estimate the value of predatorsB. compare the losses with the benefits of predatorsC. keep the balance of natureD. raise more livestock英语六级考试阅读模拟题答案26.

cet6阅读模拟题及答案(1)

According to the latest research in the' United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy's and girl's conversations from an early age. She says that little girls' conversation is less definite than boys' and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for woman, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre?programmed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性) in its programming,otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.1.

英语六级阅读理解模拟练习附参考答案六级阅读理解模拟练习一：The Look Younger DietIs the Fountain of Youth a myth? Not entirely,many experts in nutrition now believe, "Age fast, orage slow—it's up to you. " declares Dr. KennethCooper, president and founder of the Aerobics Centerin Dallas. Jeffrey Blumberg, associate director ofthe U. S. Department of Agriculture's HumanNutrition Research Center on Aging at TuftsUniversity in Boston, agrees, " Research shows that many so-called age-related declines inphysiological function seem to have less to do with aging than with environmental factors likediet and exercise. "Obesity 过度肥胖 is one of the leading causes of accelerated aging, according to Cooper, "Ifyou lose weight, stop smoking, and exercise," he says, "you can slow the aging process—andmake dramatic changes in your looks in a relatively short period of time. "A 37-year-old sales director for a Boston computer-distribution company is a primeexample. Over six feet tall, he had been considerably overweight most of his like. Then hebegan to worry that his appearance could be hurting his career. "I got tired of people thinkingI was the same age as my brother, who's nearly nine years older," he says, "When you're fat,people in the business world assume you're out of control. "Determined to change, the sales director entered a hospital-based diet program anddropped over 70 pounds. "I feel—and look—ten years younger. " he says.At 82, Clarice R. Mc Williams, a retired business owner in Dallas, has the appearance, skintone 肤色 and mental agility of someone many years younger. "Most people think I'm in my60s. " she boasts.Mc Williams admits genes play some role in the way she looks, but believes diet is animportant factor. "It doesn't matter how good the genes are if you don't eat properly and takecare of yourself," she says. "If you want to look good, get plenty of rest, exercise every day, eatmostly raw fruits and vegetables—and quit worrying. "Says Blumberg, "There's certainly a link between good nutrition, apositive attitude andimproved quality of life. People can have a say in what's going on with their bodies by selectinga healthful diet. "Skin. Nowhere do the signs of aging manifest themselves more clearly than in thecondition of the skin. When your weight fluctuates, the skin stretches with each up cycle, but itmay not completely shrink back to its original size in the down cycle. As a result, the skin maysag松弛下垂.A severely deficient diet can lead to skin disorders, dramatically affecting one'sappearance. By the same token, a well-balanced diet with ample supplies of nutrients isthought by many experts to produce a glowing, younger look.Zinc and vitamin A are important for normal, healthy skin. Zinc helps the skin repair itself,and vitamin A aids in keeping skin supple, preventing dryness and helping shed dead cells.Good sources of zinc are beef, eggs and seafood, while many dark-green leafy vegetables arerich in beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Other foods containing ampleamounts of beta carotene include carrots, cantaloupe, winter squash, sweet potatoes, sweet redpeppers, apricots and mangoes.Vitamin C helps improve the blood supply to the skin and aids in forming collagen胶原 ,the fibrous protein that lies beneath the skin's surface and gives it a smooth appearance.Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits and juices, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, snowpeas, red and green peppers, broccoli, white and sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon,honeydew melon and cantaloupe.Greens are excellent sources of skin-preserving nutrients and, generally, the darker theleaves, the more nutritious. Romaine lettuce, for example has about six times as muchvitamin C and eight times as much beta carotene as iceberg lettuce.How food is prepared matters too. The longer vegetables cook, the greater the loss ofvitamins and texture. Don't soak vegetables when washing them, since water-soluble vitaminssuch as C will be lost.Blumberg also recommends drinking six to eight glasses of water or other fluids each day tohelp keep skin and other tissues hydrated. "That'sespecially important for older people," hesays, "who are at risk for dehydration because their thirst drive becomes blunted with age. "Coffee,colas and tea aren't the best sources, since they contain caffeine, a diuretic thatinduces water loss.Hair. Healthy, shining hair is second only to vibrant skin for making one look younger. Yetmany people unwittingly mistreat their hair by eating an unbalanced diet.When a 33-year-old employee at a Texas corporation decided to lose weight quickly, shewent on a fad diet, high in fiber and bulk, but low in protein. Over three months, she lost a lotof weight. She also lost a good deal of her hair.Dermatologist 皮肤病学家 David Alkek, a clinical professor at the University of TexasSouthwest Medical Center at Dallas, sees too many caseslike this woman's. When diets don'tcontain enough amino acids, the building blocks of protein, there's dramatic increase in hairloss as the body breaks down its own protein.Hair and skin cells are constantly reproducing and are, therefore, very sensitive tonutritional deficiencies, explains Dr. Alkek. Foods high in amino acids include meats, eggs, milk,grains and legumes. Just remember that the body cannot store protein. So foods high inprotein must be ingested daily. Under Alkek's care, the woman began eating nutritionallybalanced meals, and her hair was restored in about eight months.Immune system. Vitamins E and C and beta carotene, known as antioxidants 抗氧化剂 ,are considered powerful disease-fighters, capable of slowing down or preventing a number ofailments typically associated with aging.A growing body of evidence suggests that aging and decline in immune function mayresult in part from accumulated damage to cells caused by certain toxic compounds called freeradicals 自由基. Antioxidants seem to counteract or impair the ability of these substances toattack healthy cells, thus avoiding at least some of the damage. Foods containing thesenutrients are being linked—by science rather than myth—to the control and prevention ofheart disease and cancer, stroke, cataracts and to the body's ability to ward off infectiousdiseases.Good general nutrition is essential to maintaining a healthy, youthful appearance. Andthe key to good general nutrition is balance. Proteins should make up roughly ten percent ofyour daily calorie intake; no more than 30percent should come from fats; and the remainingcalories should come mostly from complex carbohydrates.1.

Staff training must have a purpose,which is defined when a firm considers its trainingneeds, which are in turn based on job descriptionsand job specifications.A job description should give details of theperformance that is requiredfor a particular job, and a job specification should giveinformation about the behavior, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee whoworks in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification.This specifies what the Training Department must teach for the successful performance of thejob, and also the best methods to use in the training period.There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages ofall of them. Successful training programmes depend on an understanding of the differencebetween learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learningabout skills takes place "off the job" in the classroom, but training in using these skills takesplace "on the job", by means of such activities as practice in the workshop.It is always difficult to evaluate the costs and savings of a training programme. Thesuccess of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality ofthe staff who do the training. A company can often check oh savings in time and cost byexamining the work performed by the workers and technicians who have completed a trainingprogramme. The evaluation of management training is much more complex than that.21.
