小编整理了剑桥雅思6真题难点及答题技巧全解析（阅读篇），供烤鸭们参考，还有免费的剑桥雅思资料下载哦！剑桥雅思6阅读部分总体介绍剑桥雅思系列真题vi中的list of headings，段落标题配对题的比例呈明显上升趋势。

cambridge iv v 各有两篇文章有该题型，而且各自只有9道和7道。

而《剑桥雅思6》共有5篇文章包含该题型，一共28道题目。

这对广大考生无疑形成了不小的难度，烤鸭们需要加强对段落主旨的把握能力，下面就是天道小编整理的剑桥雅思6阅读test 3难点解析。

在的主流题型中，是非无判断题(t / f / ng)、小结填空题(summary)、简答题 (short answer)、标题配对题(headings)、其他配对题(matching)和多项选择题(multiple choice)的前三种题型属于技巧题(即使单词量不高也能通过技巧解题)，后两种属于考核语言实力题(单词不认识就无法完成)。

《剑桥雅思6》四套留学类阅读试题的题型分配比例是：雅思阅读判断题45道(28%)，雅思阅读主观题36道(23%)，雅思阅读标题配对题28道(18%)，其他配对题40道(25%)，选择题11道(7%)。

cambridge vi体现出的趋势是判断题仍然属于主流题型，但是其比例较cambridge v略有下降。

剑vi仍然把判断题作为数量最多的一种题型. 而配对题比例已经有所上升，cambridge vi 中的配对题是最多的。

这恰与09年全年的考试趋势吻合，这会对语言功底相对薄弱的考生造成一定的障碍。

在主观题中，summary题型大多数都是针对全篇文章的摘要，而且题量很大，有一定难度。

剑桥雅思阅读6真题分析

剑桥雅思阅读6真题分析剑桥雅思阅读6真题文章：Motivating employees under adverse conditionsIt is a great deal easier to motivate employees in a growing organisation than a declining one. When organisations are expanding and adding personnel, promotional opportunities, pay rises, and the excitement of being associated with a dynamic organisation create feelings of optimism. Management is able to use the growth to entice and encourage employees. When an organisation is shrinking, the best and most mobile workers are prone to leave voluntarily. Unfortunately, they are the ones the organisation can least afford to lose - those with the highest skills and experience. The minor employees remain because their job options are limited.Morale also suffers during decline. People fear they may be the next to be made redundant. Productivity often suffers, as employees spend their time sharing rumours and providing one another with moral support rather than focusing on their jobs. For those whose jobs are secure, pay increases are rarely possible. Pay cuts, unheard of during times of growth, may even be imposed. The challenge to management is how to motivate employees under such retrenchment conditions. The ways of meeting this challenge can be broadly divided into six Key Points, which are outlined below.剑桥雅思阅读6真题解析：1.motivate 激发，鼓励2.adverse 不利地an adverse impact on(相当于negative impact on) 对...有负面的影响3.personnel 职员4.expand 膨胀，扩张例：The international trade is expanding at a starling pace。

热门话题：雅思7分是什么水平雅思评分标准剑桥雅思6test2passage3阅读原文+题目+答案解析You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.NumerationOne of the first great intellectual feats of a young child is learning how to talk, closely followed by learning how to count. From earliest childhood we are so bound up with our system of numeration that it is a feat of imagination to consider the problems faced by early humans who had not yet developed this facility. Careful consideration of our system of numeration leads to the conviction that, rather than being a facility that comes naturally to a person, it is one of the great and remarkable achievements of the human race.It is impossible to learn the sequence of events that led to our developing the concept of number. Even the earliest of tribes had a system of numeration that, if not advanced, was sufficient for the tasks that they had to perform. Our ancestors had little use for actual numbers; instead their considerations would have been more of the kind Is this enough? rather than How many? when they were engaged in food gathering, for example. However, when early humans first began to reflect on the nature of things around them, they discovered that they needed an idea of number simply to keep their thoughts in order. As they began to settle, grow plants and herd animals, the need for a sophisticated number system became paramount. It will never be known how and when this numeration ability developed, but it is certain that numeration was well developed by the time humans had formed even semi-permanent settlements.Evidence of early stages of arithmetic and numeration can be readily found. The indigenous peoples of Tasmania were only able to count one, two, many; those of South Africa counted one, two, two and one, two twos, two twos and one, and so on. But in real situations the number and words are often accompanied by gestures to help resolve any confusion. For example, when using the one, two, many type of system, the word many would mean, Look at my hands and see how many fingers I am showing you. This basic approach is limited in the range of numbers that it can express, but this range will generally suffice when dealing with the simpler aspects of human existence.The lack of ability of some cultures to deal with large numbers is not really surprising. European languages, when traced back to their earlier version, are very poor in number words and expressions. The ancient Gothic word for ten, tachund, is used to express the number 100 as tachund tachund. By the seventh century, the word teon had become interchangeable with the tachund or hund of the Anglo-Saxon language, andso 100 was denoted as hund teontig, or ten times ten. The average person in the seventh century in Europe was not as familiar with numbers as we are today. In fact, to qualify as a witness in a court of law a man had to be able to count to nine!Perhaps the most fundamental step in developing a sense of number is not the ability to count, but rather to see that a number is really an abstract idea instead of a simple attachment to a group of particular objects. It must have been within the grasp of the earliest humans to conceive that four birds are distinct from two birds; however, it is not an elementary step to associate the number 4, as connected with four birds, to the number 4, as connected with four rocks. Associating a number as one of the qualities of a specific object is a great hindrance to the development of a true number sense. When the number 4 can be registered in the mind as a specific word, independent of the object being referenced, the individual is ready to take the first step toward the development of a notational system for numbers and, from there, to arithmetic.Traces of the very first stages in the development of numeration can be seen in several living languages today. The numeration system of the Tsimshian language in British Columbia contains seven distinct sets of words for numbers according to the class of the item being counted: for counting flat objects and animals, for round objects and time, for people, for long objects and trees, for canoes, for measures, and for counting when no particular object is being numerated. It seems that the last is a later development while the first six groups show the relics of an older system. This diversity of number names can also be found in some widely used languages such as Japanese.Intermixed with the development of a number sense is the development of an ability to count. Counting is not directly related to the formation of a number concept because it is possible to count by matching the items being counted against a group of pebbles, grains of corn, or the counter’s fingers. These aids would have been indispensable to very early people who would have found the process impossible without some form of mechanical aid. Such aids, while different, are still used even by the most educated in today’s society due to their convenience. All counting ultimately involves reference to something other than the things being counted. At first it may have been grains or pebbles but now it is a memorised sequence of words that happen to be the names of the numbers.剑桥雅思6test2passage3阅读题目+答案解析Questions 27-31Complete each sentence with the correct ending A-G, below.Write the correct letter, A-G, in boxes 27-31 on your answer sheet.27 A developed system of numbering28 An additional hand signal。

剑桥雅思Cambridge Ielts 6 Text2-Listening-Section4的逐字听写稿(核对版)

剑6 T2L2S4 Lecture介绍：这个lecture的速度为正常，平均每秒单词朗读数量为3-4个。

Lecture31-40第一部分（00:59——4:11）Many believe that the story first began in America in 1877 when two friends were arguing over whether a horse ever had all four feet or hooves off the ground when it galloped.(1:12) To settle the bet(解决纷争), a photographer was asked to photograph a horse galloping. And the bet was settled because you could see that all the hooves were off the ground in some of the photos. (1:25) what was even more interesting was that if the photos were shown in quick succession（紧接着）, the horse looked like it was running, in other words “moving pictures”.(1:37). The person who became interested in taking the moving pictures to its next step was the famous American inventor Thomas Edison. (1:47) Actually, he didn’t do the work himself but rather ask a young Scotsman in his employ（他所雇用的）to design a system, which he did. Now this young fellow was clever.(1:59). Because the first thing he did was（省略了to）study other systems—primitive they were—of moving pictures and then put all the existing technologies together to make the first entire motion picture system.(2:13). He designed acamera, a projector device and the film. The system was first shown in New York in 1894 and was really very popular. Apparently, people lined uparound the block（在街区周围）to see the wonderful new invention. (2:30). There were, however, a couple of problems with the system. The camera weighed over 200 kilograms and only one person at a time could see the film. (2:43).Well now,news of the new system in America travelled fast and a number ofrival European systemsstarted to appear once peoplehad heard about it. The single problem with all the systems was they couldn’t project the film onto a screen—(3:00)you know, so more than one person could see it. Then in 1895, three systems were all developed, more or less at the same time and independently of each other.(3:11). I guessthemost famous of these was by the L umiereBrothers from France, and they called their system “the Cinematographe”, which of course is where the word cinema comes from.(3:23)There were also two brothers in Germanywho developed the successful system and they called it the “Bioskop”. (3:30)Well now, once the problem of the projection had been solved,the next challenge for the inventors was to make the film longer and more interesting. (3:39) A continuing problem at the time was that the filmshad a tendency（有……的倾向）to break when they were being played —a problem which was caused by the tension between the two wheels, or reels as they are called, which hold the film. (3:54)Nowthis problem was solved by two American brothers. They develop the “Lantham Loop” which was the simple addition of the third reel between the two main reels, and this took all the tension away with the result that the film stopped snapping.(4:11)第二部分（4:16——5:56）So now there was a real possibility of having films of more than 2 or 3 minutes films, and this led to the making of the Great Train Robbery-the very first movie made. (4:29)It only lasted 11 minutes but was an absolute sensation. And there were cases of people watching the movie and actually fainting when the character fired a gun at the camera! (4:41)Almost overnight moviesbecame a craze, and by 1905 people in America were lining up to see movies in “store theatres”, as they were called then.(4:53)I guess the next big step in terms of developmen t of t echnology was to have people actually talking on the film.(5:02)And the first step towards this was in 1926 when sound effects were first used on a film. It wasn’t until the following year however that the first “talkie”, as they were called then was made. (5:17)This film featured actors speaking only during parts of the film and was called the Jazz Singer, and it wasn’t until 1928 that the first all-talking film was produced, and this was called the Lights of New York.(5:32) Unfortunately, the sound on this early film was not very good and I believe they put the subtitles on the film—(5:41)that is, they printed the dialogue along the bottom of the film to compensate for this poor sound quality. (5:47)Now, with the addition of sound, moving pictures became far more difficult to make.…(5:56)。

如果烤鸭对这两个问题感兴趣的，请点击：雅思7分是什么水平雅思评分标准Elderly people are growing healthier, happier and more independent, say American scientists. The results of a 14-year study to be announced later this month reveal that the diseases associated with old age are afflicting fewer and fewer people and when they do strike, it is much later in life.In the last 14 years, the National Long-term Health Care Survey has gathered data on the health and lifestyles of more than 20,000 men and women over 65. Researchers, now analysing the results of data gathered in 1994, say arthritis, high blood pressure and circulation problems —the major medical complaints in this age group —are troubling a smaller proportion every year. And the data confirms that the rate at which these diseases are declining continues to accelerate. Other diseases of old age —dementia, stroke, arteriosclerosis and emphysema — are also troubling fewer and fewer people.‘It really raises the question of what should be considered normal ageing,’ says Kenneth Manton, a demographer from Duke University in North Carolina. He says the problems doctors accepted as normal in a 65-year-old in 1982 are often not appearing until people are 70 or 75.Clearly, certain diseases are beating a retreat in the face of medical advances. But there may be other contributing factors. Improvements in childhood nutrition in the first quarter of the twentieth century, for example, gave today’s elderly people abetter start in life than their predecessors.On the downside, the data also reveals failures in public health that have caused surges in some illnesses. An increase in some cancers and bronchitis may reflect changing smoking habits and poorer air quality, say the researchers. ‘These may be subtle influences,’ says Manton, ‘but our subjects have been exposed to worse and worse pollution for over 60 years. It’s not surprising we see some effect."One interesting correlation Manton uncovered is that better-educated people are likely to live longer. For example, 65-year-old women with fewer than eight years of schooling are expected, on average, to live to 82. Those who continued their education live an extra seven years. Although some of this can be attributed to a higher income, Manton believes it is mainly because educated people seek more medical attention.The survey also assessed how independent people over 65 were, and again found a striking trend. Almost 80% of those in the 1994 survey could complete everyday activities ranging from eating and dressing unaided to complex tasks such as cooking and managing their finances. That represents a significant drop in the number of disabled old people in the population. If the trends apparent in the United States 14 years ago had continued, researchers calculate there would be an additional one million disabled elderly people in today’s population. According to Manton, slowing the trend has saved the United States government’s Medicare system more than $200 billion, suggesting that the greying of America’s population may prove less of a financial burden than expected.The increasing self-reliance of many elderly people is probably linked to a massive increase in the use of simple homemedical aids. For instance, the use of raised toilet seats has more than doubled since the start of the study, and the use of bath seats has grown by more than 50%. These developments also bring some health benefits, according to a report from the MacArthur Foundation’s research group on successful ageing. The group found that those elderly people who were able to retain a sense of independence were more likely to stay healthy in old age.Maintaining a level of daily physical activity may help mental functioning, says Carl Cotman, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Irvine. He found that rats that exercise on a treadmill have raised levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor coursing through their brains. Cotman believes this hormone, which keeps neurons functioning, may prevent the brains of active humans from deteriorating.As part of the same study, Teresa Seeman, a social epidemiologist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, found a connection between self-esteem and stress in people over 70. In laboratory simulations of challenging activities such as driving, those who felt in control of their lives pumped out lower levels of stress hormones such as cortisol. Chronically high levels of these hormones have been linked to heart disease.But independence can have drawbacks. Seeman found that elderly people who felt emotionally isolated maintained higher levels of stress hormones even when asleep. The research suggests that older people fare best when they feel independent but know they can get help when they need it.‘Like much research into ageing, these results support common sense,’ says Seeman. They also show that we may be underestimating the impact of these simple factors. ‘The sort ofthing that your grandmother always told you turns out to be right on target,’she says.Questions 14-22Complete the summary using the list of words, A-Q, below.Write the correct letter, A-Q in boxes 14-22 on your answer sheet.Research carried out by scientists in the United States has shown that the proportion of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems is 14 ..............and that the speed of this change is 15.............. . It also seems that these diseases are affecting people 16.............. in life than they did in the past. This is largely due to developments in 17.............., but other factors。

PASSAGE 1 参考译文：Advantages of public transport公共交通的优势A new study conducted for the World Bank by Murdoch University’s Institute for Science and Technology Policy (ISTP) has demonstrated that public transport is more efficient than cars. The study compared the proportion of wealth poured into transport by thirty-seven cities around the world. This included both the public and private costs of building, maintaining and using a transport system.默多克大学的科技政策研究所(ISTP)为世界银行做的最新研究表明，公共交通工具的效率髙于小汽车。

该研究比较了全世界37座城市公共交通投人资金所占的比例。

这其中包括修建、维护和使用公交系统时的政府投人和个人开销。

The study found that the Western Australian city of Perth is a good example of a city with minimal public transport. As a result, 17% of its wealth went into transport costs. Some European and Asian cities, on the other hand, spent as little as 5%. Professor Peter Newman, ISTP Director, pointed out that these more efficient cities were able to put the difference into attracting industry and jobs or creating a better place to live.研究显示，西澳大利亚的首府珀斯是最低限度发展公交系统的典型例子。

不要先阅读文章内容
在未清楚目的的时候看阅读测验文章的内容是一件浪费时间的事情，阅读测验是分为3部分，很多考生都会用同一个方法处理每一部分，就是先详细看文章内容或快速
扫描内容，等对文章有一定了解时才开始看问题，用这个方法的人通常到最后都会发现时间不够用。

因为在他们阅读文章的时候，他们不知道需要注意什么内容和找什么答案。

先读题目
最快找到答案的方法是知道在哪个段落可找到答案。

如您已清楚每一段的内容大意，您能够一接触问题时便知道哪一段最有可能包含答案。

要用最短的时间了解每个段落的意思，您可用以下方法：先看每个段落的第一句，然后看第二句，再看段落的最后一句。

如到这个时候，您还是不清楚这一段意思的话，您便需要全篇都看。

介绍(Introduction)和结论(Conclusion)通常都会包含很多有用资讯，您应比较仔细地看这两段。

剑桥雅思阅读6原文(test2)READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 on the following pages.Questions 1-5Reading Passage 1 has five marked paragraphs, A-E.Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below.Write the correct number, i-viii, in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet.List of Headingsi Avoiding an overcrowded centreii A successful exercise in people poweriii The benefits of working together in citiesiv Higher incomes need not mean more carsv Economic arguments fail to persuadevi The impact of telecommunications on population distributionvii Increases in travelling timeviii Responding to arguments against public transport1 Paragraph A2 Paragraph B3 Paragraph C4 Paragraph D5 Paragraph EAdvantages of public transportA new study conducted for the World Bank by Murdoch University’s Institute for Science and Technology Policy (ISTP) has demonstrated that public transport is more efficient than cars. The study compared the proportion of wealth poured into transport by thirty-seven cities around the world. This included both the public and private costs of building, maintaining and using a transport system.The study found that the Western Australian city of Perth is a good example of a city with minimal public transport. As a result, 17% of its wealth went into transport costs. Some European and Asian cities, on the other hand, spent as little as 5%. Professor Peter Newman, ISTP Director, pointed out that these more efficient cities were able to put the difference into attracting industry and jobs or creating a better place to live.According to Professor Newman, the larger Australian city of Melbourne is a rather unusual city in this sort of comparison. He describes it as two cities: ‘A European city surrounded by a car-dep endent one’. Melbourne’s large tram network has made car use in the inner city much lower, but the outer suburbs have the same car-based structure as most other Australian cities. The explosion in demand for accommodation in the inner suburbs of Melbourne suggests a recent change in many people’s preferences as to where they live.Newman says this is a new, broader way of considering public transport issues. In the past, the case for public transport has been made on the basis of environmental and social justice considerations rather than economics. Newman, however, believes the study demonstrates that ‘the auto-dependent city model is inefficient and grossly inadequate in economic as wellas environmental terms’.Bicycle use was not included in the study but Newman noted that the two most ‘bicycle friendly’ cities considered —Amsterdam and Copenhagen — were very efficient, even though their public transport systems were ‘reasonable but not special’.It is common for supporters of road networks to reject the models of cities with good public transport by arguing that such systems would not work in their particular city. One objection is climate. Some people say their city could not make more use of public transport because it is either too hot or too cold. Newman rejects this, pointing out that public transport has been successful in both Toronto and Singapore and, in fact, he has checked the use of cars against climate and found ‘zero correlation’.When it comes to other physical features, road lobbies are on stronger ground. For example, Newman accepts it would be hard for a city as hilly as Auckland to develop a really good rail network. However, he points out that both Hong Kong and Zurich have managed to make a success of their rail systems, heavy and light respectively, though there are few cities in the world as hilly.A In fact, Newman believes the main reason for adopting one sort of transport over another is politics: ‘The more democratic the process, the more public transport is favored.’ He considers Portland, Oregon, a perfect example of this. Some years ago, federal money was granted to build a new road. However, local pressure groups forced a referendum over whether to spend the money on light rail instead. The rail proposal won and the railway worked spectacularly well. In the years that have followed, more and more rail systems have been put in, dramatically changingthe nature of the city. Newman notes that Portland has about the same population as Perth and had a similar population density at the time.B In the UK, travel times to work had been stable for at least six centuries, with people avoiding situations that required them to spend more than half an hour travelling to work. Trains and cars initially allowed people to live at greater distances without taking longer to reach their destination. However, public infrastructure did not keep pace with urban sprawl, causing massive congestion problems which now make commuting times far higher.C There is a widespread belief that increasing wealth encourages people to live farther out where cars are the only viable transport. The example of European cities refutes that. They are often wealthier than their American counterparts but have not generated the same level of car use. In Stockholm, car use has actually fallen in recent years as the city has become larger and wealthier. A new study makes this point even more starkly. Developing cities in Asia, such as Jakarta and Bangkok, make more use of the car than wealthy Asian cities such as Tokyo and Singapore. In cities that developed later, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank discouraged the building of public transport and people have been forced to rely on cars — creating the massive traffic jams that characterize those cities.D Newman believes one of the best studies on how cities built for cars might be converted to rail use is The Urban Village report, which used Melbourne as an example. It found that pushing everyone into the city centre was not the best approach. Instead, the proposal advocated the creation of urban villages at hundreds of sites, mostly around railway stations.E It was once assumed that improvements in telecommunications would lead to more dispersal in the population as people were no longer forced into cities. However, the I STP team’s research demonstrates that the population and job density of cities rose or remained constant in the 1980s after decades of decline. The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working in related fields together. ‘Th e new world will largely depend on human creativity, and creativity flourishes where people come together face-to-face.’Questions 6-10Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 6-10 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this6 The ISTP study examined public and private systems in every city of the world.7 Efficient cities can improve the quality of life for their inhabitants.8 An inner-city tram network is dangerous for car drivers.9 In Melbourne, people prefer to live in the outer suburbs.10 Cities with high levels of bicycle usage can be efficient even when public transport is only averagely good.Questions 11-13Look at the following cities (Questions 11-13) and the list of descriptions below.Match each city with the correct description, A-F.Write the correct letter, A-F, in boxes 11-13 on your answer sheet.11 Perth12 Auckland13 PortlandList of DescriptionsA successfully uses a light rail transport system in hilly environmentB successful public transport system despite cold wintersC profitably moved from road to light rail transport systemD hilly and inappropriate for rail transport systemE heavily dependent on cars despite widespread povertyF inefficient due to a limited public transport systemREADING PASSAGE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.GREYING POPULATION STAYS IN THE PINKElderly people are growing healthier, happier and more independent, say American scientists. The results of a 14-year study to be announced later this month reveal that the diseases associated with old age are afflicting fewer and fewer people and when they do strike, it is much later in life.In the last 14 years, the National Long-term Health Care Survey has gathered data on the health and lifestyles of more than 20,000 men and women over 65. Researchers, now analysing the results of data gathered in 1994, say arthritis, high blood pressure and circulation problems —the major medical complaints in this age group —are troubling a smaller proportion every year. And the data confirms that the rate at which these diseases are declining continues to accelerate. Other diseases of old age —dementia, stroke, arteriosclerosis and emphysema — are also troubling fewer and fewer people.‘It really raises the question of what should be considered normal ageing,’ says Kenneth Manton, a demographer from Duke University in North Carolina. He says the problems doctors accepted as normal in a 65-year-old in 1982 are often not appearing until people are 70 or 75.Clearly, certain diseases are beating a retreat in the face of medical advances. But there may be other contributing factors. Improvements in childhood nutrition in the first quarter of the twentieth century, for example, gave today’s elderly people a better start in life than their predecessors.On the downside, the data also reveals failures in public health that have caused surges in some illnesses. An increase in some cancers and bronchitis may reflect changing smoking habits and poorer air quality, say the researchers. ‘These may be subtle influences,’ says Manton, ‘but our subje cts have been exposed to worse and worse pollution for over 60 years. It’s not surprising we see some effect."One interesting correlation Manton uncovered is that better-educated people are likely to live longer. For example, 65-year-old women with fewer than eight years of schooling are expected, on average, to live to 82. Those who continued their education live an extra seven years. Although some of this can be attributed to a higher income, Manton believes it is mainly because educated people seek more medical attention.The survey also assessed how independent people over 65 were, and again found a striking trend. Almost 80% of those in the 1994 survey could complete everyday activities ranging from eating and dressing unaided to complex tasks such as cooking and managing their finances. That represents a significant drop in the number of disabled old people in the population. If thetrends apparent in the United States 14 years ago had continued, researchers calculate there would be an additional one million disabled elderly people in today’s population. According to Manton, slowing the trend has saved the United States government’s Medicare system more than $200 billion, suggesting that the greying of America’s population may prove less of a financial burden than expected.The increasing self-reliance of many elderly people is probably linked to a massive increase in the use of simple home medical aids. For instance, the use of raised toilet seats has more than doubled since the start of the study, and the use of bath seats has grown by more than 50%. These developments also bring some health benefits, according to a report from the MacArthur Foundation’s research group on successful ageing. The group found that those elderly people who were able to retain a sense of independence were more likely to stay healthy in old age.Maintaining a level of daily physical activity may help mental functioning, says Carl Cotman, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Irvine. He found that rats that exercise on a treadmill have raised levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor coursing through their brains. Cotman believes this hormone, which keeps neurons functioning, may prevent the brains of active humans from deteriorating.As part of the same study, Teresa Seeman, a social epidemiologist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, found a connection between self-esteem and stress in people over 70. In laboratory simulations of challenging activities such as driving, those who felt in control of their lives pumped out lower levels of stress hormones such as cortisol. Chronicallyhigh levels of these hormones have been linked to heart disease.But independence can have drawbacks. Seeman found that elderly people who felt emotionally isolated maintained higher levels of stress hormones even when asleep. The research suggests that older people fare best when they feel independent but know they can get help when they need it.‘Like much research into ageing, these results support common sense,’ says Seeman. They also show that we may be underestimating the impact of these simple factors. ‘The sort of thing that your grandmother always told you turns out to be right on target,’ she says.Questions 14-22Complete the summary using the list of words, A-Q, below.Write the correct letter, A-Q in boxes 14-22 on your answer sheet.Research carried out by scientists in the United States has shown that the proportion of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems is 14 ..............and that the speed of this change is 15.............. . It also seems that these diseases are affecting people 16.............. in life than they did in the past. This is largely due to developments in 17.............., but other factors such as improved 18.............. may also be playing a part.

From earliest childhood we are so bound up with our system of numeration that it is a feat of imagination to consider theproblems faced by early humans who had not yet developed this facility. Careful consideration of our system of numeration leads to the conviction that, rather than being a facility that comes naturally to a person, it is one of the great and remarkable achievements of the human race.It is impossible to learn the sequence of events that led to our developing the concept of number. Even the earliest of tribes had a system of numeration that, if not advanced, was sufficient for the tasks that they had to perform. Our ancestors had little use for actual numbers; instead their considerations would have been more of the kind Is this enough? rather than How many? when they were engaged in food gathering, for example. However, when early humans first began to reflect on the nature of things around them, they discovered that they needed an idea of number simply to keep their thoughts in order. As they began to settle, grow plants and herd animals, the need for a sophisticated number system became paramount. It will never be known how and when this numeration ability developed, but it is certain that numeration was well developed by the time humans had formed even semi-permanent settlements.Evidence of early stages of arithmetic and numeration can be readily found. The indigenous peoples of Tasmania were only able to count one, two, many; those of South Africa counted one, two, two and one, two twos, two twos and one, and so on. But in real situations the number and words are often accompanied by gestures to help resolve any confusion. For example, when using the one, two, many type of system, the word many would mean, Look at my hands and see how many fingers I am showing you. This basic approach is limited in the range of numbers that it can express, but this range will generally suffice when dealing withthe simpler aspects of human existence.The lack of ability of some cultures to deal with large numbers is not really surprising. European languages, when traced back to their earlier version, are very poor in number words and expressions. The ancient Gothic word for ten, tachund, is used to express the number 100 as tachund tachund. By the seventh century, the word teon had become interchangeable with the tachund or hund of the Anglo-Saxon language, and so 100 was denoted as hund teontig, or ten times ten. The average person in the seventh century in Europe was not as familiar with numbers as we are today. In fact, to qualify as a witness in a court of law a man had to be able to count to nine!Perhaps the most fundamental step in developing a sense of number is not the ability to count, but rather to see that a number is really an abstract idea instead of a simple attachment to a group of particular objects. It must have been within the grasp of the earliest humans to conceive that four birds are distinct from two birds; however, it is not an elementary step to associate the number 4, as connected with four birds, to the number 4, as connected with four rocks. Associating a number as one of the qualities of a specific object is a great hindrance to the development of a true number sense. When the number 4 can be registered in the mind as a specific word, independent of the object being referenced, the individual is ready to take the first step toward the development of a notational system for numbers and, from there, to arithmetic.Traces of the very first stages in the development of numeration can be seen in several living languages today. The numeration system of the Tsimshian language in British Columbia contains seven distinct sets of words for numbers according tothe class of the item being counted: for counting flat objects and animals, for round objects and time, for people, for long objects and trees, for canoes, for measures, and for counting when no particular object is being numerated. It seems that the last is a later development while the first six groups show the relics of an older system. This diversity of number names can also be found in some widely used languages such as Japanese.Intermixed with the development of a number sense is the development of an ability to count. Counting is not directly related to the formation of a number concept because it is possible to count by matching the items being counted against a group of pebbles, grains of corn, or the coun ter’s fingers. These aids would have been indispensable to very early people who would have found the process impossible without some form of mechanical aid. Such aids, while different, are still used even by the most educated in today’s society due to the ir convenience. All counting ultimately involves reference to something other than the things being counted. At first it may have been grains or pebbles but now it is a memorised sequence of words that happen to be the names of the numbers.Questions 27-31Complete each sentence with the correct ending A-G, below.Write the correct letter, A-G, in boxes 27-31 on your answer sheet.27 A developed system of numbering28 An additional hand signal29 In seventh-century Europe, the ability to count to a certain number30 Thinking about numbers as concepts separate from physical objects31 Expressing number differently according to class of itemA was necessary in order to fulfil a civic role.B was necessary when people began farming.C was necessary for the development of arithmetic.D persists in all societies.E was used when the range of number words was restricted.F can be traced back to early European languages.G was a characteristic of early numeration systems.Questions 32-40Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3?In boxes 32-40 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this32 For the earliest tribes, the concept of sufficiency was more important than the concept of quantity.33 Indigenous Tasmanians used only four terms to indicate numbers of objects.34 Some peoples with simple number systems used body language to prevent misunderstanding of expressions of number.35 All cultures have been able to express large numbers clearly.36 The word ‘thousand’ has Anglo-Saxon origins.37 In general, people in seventh-century Europe had poor counting ability.38 In the Tsimshian language, the number for long objects and canoes is expressed with the same word.39 The Tsimshian language contains both older and newer systems of counting.40 Early peoples found it easier to count by using their fingers rather than a group of pebbles.剑桥雅思阅读6原文参考译文(test2)PASSAGE 1 参考译文：Advantages of public transport公共交通的优势A new study conducted for the World Bank by Murdoch University’s Institute for Science and Technology Policy (ISTP) has demonstrated that public transport is more efficient than cars.

主题句解析1.第四段首句（段落首句中的名词复数）Clearly, certain diseases are beating a retreat in the face of medical advances.解析：如果段落首句中出现了复数名词，且该名词在下文很容易一一展开形成列举逻辑，则可确定该句为主题句。

就本段而言，certain diseases（某些疾病）明显是可以一一展开来写的，因此本段的主题就是certain diseases。

2. 第六段首句（段落首句中的表语从句）One interesting correlation Manton uncovered is that better-educated people are likely tolive longer.解析：其实表语从句完全可以看做宾语从句的另一种表达，甚至连引导词都相同（that），如果能够理解这一点，也就不难判断段落首句中的表语从句才是主要阅读内容。

就本段而言，首句完全可以改写成:Manton uncovered that better-educated people are likely to live longer is one interesting correlation.因此本段的主题核心为better-educated people are likely to live longer。

参考译文老年人的年轻化老年人越来越健康、幸福和独立，美国科学家如是说。

一项为期14年的研究在本月末发表的结论中说，受老年病影响的老年人越来越少，受影响的时间也越来越迟。

在过去的十四年中，国家长期健康调查局收集了超过20000名年龄在65周岁以上的老年人的健康和生活方式方面的数据。

研究人员正在分析1994年收集到的数据，他们说，该年龄段人群经常患有的关节炎、高血压和血管病每年的发病率都在降低。

数据清晰表明，上述疾病发病率下降的速度也在加快。
