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)。

大学英语六级考试真题模拟及参考答案2Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of team spirit and communication in the workplace.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】The Importance of Team Spirit and Communication in the WorkplaceWhen it comes to the team spirit and communication, all of us ought to see it in perspective. Fortunately, with the society commercializing and competition becoming fierce, a substantial number of people are paying due attention to it.It is apparent that we are supposed to be aware of the importance of team spirit and communication, especially in workplace.Hardly can anyone achieve success in his career without the assistance of his colleagues and communication with his partners. As grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivals through powerful team work. Take basketball star Yao Ming for an example. He can slam the duck smartly because all his teammates contribute more or less to his outstanding performance. If we work separately, we will be confined to frail minds and limited resources.On the basis of the analysis above, we may draw a conclusion that team spirit and communication really count in this competitive society. Therefore, we should associate ourselves harmoniously with our companions in every attempt towards our goals. In addition, it is indispensable to train our kids frequently to interact smoothly with others in a team. As the frequently-quoted proverb goes, unity is strength.【参考译文】当谈到团队精神和沟通，我们所有人都应该正确看待它。

大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案

xx年大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案Part Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Joblessness is far more than an economic misfortune.It can be a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.It can cause illness,divide families and create a downward spiral of feelings of worthlessness and lack of selfesteem.Aording to research done by M. Harvery Brenner,associate professor of health at Johns Hopkins University,every 1% increase in the unemployment rate translates into 37,000 deaths over the next 6years,including over 20,000 deaths from heart attcks,900 suicides and nearly 500 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver.In addition,Brenner estimates that 7,500 unemployed or their families will be admitted to prison after mitting a crime or to a mental hospital.“The impact goes well beyond the individual who loses a job,”saidBrenner.“stress caused by economic factors affects our national life at every level.”Men who have been socialized as the family breadwinner are especially hard hit by unemployment.They suffer greater depression and anxiety and have a higher possibility of psychotic behavior than men who are employed.“Nine months seems to be a crucial point when hope and patience give out,”said a leading psychologist.After that,“illness,suicide,alcoholism,divorce,and even crime grow at epidemic rate.”Left without a job,many workers feel they have nothing to look forward to.They miss their co?workers and the routine of going to work.For many,the sense of hopelessness grows worse every time they are rejected for a new job.When this happens often enough,the rejection unemployed workers feel may be exacerbated if some friends and neighbors avoid them as if they had a contagious disease.21.

What is the best title for this passage?A.An Economic Misfortune.B.The Harm of JoblessnessC.An Scientific ResearchD.How to Treat The UnemployedQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Ironically,in the United States,a country of immigrants,prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems.There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each sueeding group.As each group became more financially suessful,and more powerful,they excluded newers from full participation in the society.Prejudice and discrimination are part of our history,however,this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust than with black Americans.Blacks had distinct disadvantages.For the mostpart,they came to the “land of opportunity”as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions.Unlike most European immigrants,blacks did not have the protection of a support group;sometimesslave?owners separated members of the same family.They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color.It was difficult for them to adapt to the American culture.Even after they became free people,they still experienced discrimination in employment,housing,education,and even in publicfacilities,such as restroom.26. Prejudice and discrimination.A.were goneB.have been existing in the American societyC.don't exclude new immigrants from participation in the societyD.are mainly caused by the slavery27.

The attitude of the author is.A.favorableB.praisingC.indifferentD.sarcasticQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville,England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 fromNazi Germany,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sportsfor the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings things developed fast.Teams now e from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome.Now,every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held,if possible,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at StokeMandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries tookpart.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great suess in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoysports.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed toconvince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.31. The first games for the disabled were heldafter Sir Ludwing Guttmann arrived in England.A.50 yearsB.21 yearsC.9 yearsD.4 years32.

From the passage we may conclude that writer is.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favor of holding the game for the disabledQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea.He was Prince Henry of Portugal,the younger son of the Partuguese king and an English princess. Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century.As a boy he became devoted to the sea,and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them.In 1416,when he was twenty?two,Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers,Italian and Spanish sailors,and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew to use the crude pass of the day and could improve it.Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to hug the shore.The caravel carried more sail and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made,yet was tough enough to withstand gales at sea.He also developed the carrack,which was a slower ship,but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.

大学英语六级模拟题及答案解析

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

大学英语六级阅读模拟试题(2).doc

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。

大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案

大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案一、问答题（共11题，共120分）1.Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections:In this part there are four passages.Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions.Read the passage and answer the questions.Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage:Some years ago the captain of a ship was very interested in medicine.He always took medicine books to sea and liked to talk about different diseases.One day a lazy sailor on his ship pretended to be ill.He lay on his bunk(铺)and groaned as if he were very sick.The captain came to see him and was very pleased to have a patient to look after. He told the man to rest for a few days and made the other sailors do his work.Three days later another sailor pretended that he had something wrong with his chest.Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told“sick”man to have a rest.The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do.The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the captain was not looking.At last the mate(船长副手) decided to cure the“sick”men.He mixed up some soap,soot(烟灰),glue(胶水)and other unpleasant things.Then he obtained permission from the captain to give his medicine to the “sick”men.When they tasted the medicine,they really did feel ill.It was so horrible that one of the patients jumped out of hi bunk,ran up on desk and climbed the highest mast on the ship. He did not want any more medicine.The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour,night and day.This soon cured them.They both said they felt better and wanted to start word again.The captain realized that the men tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.1.The first sailor pretended to be ill because he wanted to.A.test the captain’s knowledge of medicineB.be free from workC.have the best food on the shipD.play a joke on his friends2.When the captain knew a sailor was ill,he.A.didn’t care muchB.sent for a doctorC.looked after him and told him to have a restD.gave him some medicine3.The patients felt better quickly because.A.they had been given proper medicineB.they learned that the captain had found out the truthC.they were laughed at by their friendsD.the medicine the mate gave was horrible4.When the captain knew he had been deceived,he.A.told them not to do so againB.lost his temperC.made them work harderD.fired them5.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A.A sudden Cure.B.Two Patients.C.Captain and Sailors.D.A Difficult Voyage.正确答案：BCDCA2.Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago,it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold.The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later.The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes,one of which was making pots and pans.Aluminum is lightweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different forms.By mixing it with other metals,scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys,some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.Today,the uses of aluminum are innumerable.Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles,in the hulls of boats.It is also used in many parts of airplanes.In fact,the huge“airbus”planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist.By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them,Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.Since aluminum is such a versatile(多用的)metal,it is fortunate that bauxite(铝土矿),which is one of its chief sources,is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances.As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible,we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.6.The price of aluminum was sharply reduced when people discovered a new refining process with the aid of.A.windB.solar energyC.hydraulic powerD.electricity7.Aluminum is.A.lightweight,rustproof but not easily shaped into different formsB.heavyweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different formsC.lightweight,rustproof and easily shaped into different formsD.lightweight and easily shaped into different forms but it is easy to become rusty8.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Aluminum is widely used in transportation.B.Aluminum is also used in many parts of airplanes.C.Aluminum is being used extensively in the building industry.D.Aluminum is not used in its pure form.9.Aluminum is found on earth mostly in the form of.A.pure metalB.bauxiteC.goldD.liquid10.What is the passage talking about?A.The features of aluminum and its functions.B.The process of aluminum.C.The discovery of aluminum.D.The promising future of aluminum.正确答案：DCDBA3.Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in1907.two years later a woman,Mrs.John Bruce Dodd,in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father.Her mother died when she was very young,and her father brought her up.She loved her father very much.In response to Mrs.Dodd’s idea that same year—1909,the state governor of Washington proclaimed(宣布)the third Sunday in June Father’s Day.The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in1916.in1924,President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion“to establish more intimate(亲密)relations between fathers and their children,and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.”The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day,but as the idea grained popularity,tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities.They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents,such as a tie or pair of socks,as well as by sending greeting cards.During the Second World War,American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home.This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day,it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America. Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day.Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents.But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries,who have not even a day for their sake in name only.11.When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?A.1907B.1909C.1916D.192412.Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?A.Mrs.John Bruce DoddB.Mrs.John Bruce’s MotherC.The government of Washington.D.Some businessmen.13.What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?A.LilyB.Water LilyC.Red rose or white roseD.Sunflower.14.Which statement is true,a according to this passage?A.It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.B.The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.C.Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.D.Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.15.What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?A.They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.B.They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.C.They just thought it a joke.D.They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.正确答案：DACBD4.Passage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage:Culture shock is an occupational disease(职业病)for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse.Those signs are as following:when to shake hands and what to say when meet people,when and how to give tips,how to make purchases,when to accept and refuse invitations,when to take statements seriously and when not.These signs,which may be words, gestures,facial expressions,or customs,are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept.All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency,but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture,all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you,followed by a feeling of frustration.When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort.The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.When foreigners in a strange land get together in complain about the host country its people,you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.16.According to the passage,culture shock is.A.an occupational disease of foreign peopleB.may lead to very serious symptomsC.actually not a diseaseD.incurable17.According to the passage,culture shock result from.A.the sudden change of social atmosphere and customsB.the sudden change of our daily habitsC.the sudden loss of our own

know how to greet other people.C.You suddenly forget what a word means.D.You don’t understand why a foreigner shrugs.19.According to the passage,how would a person who stays abroad most probably react when he is frustrated by the culture shock?A.He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange environment at first.B.He is really to accept the change and adapt himself to the new environment.C.Although he takes the culture difference for granted,he still doesn’t know how to do with it.D.He may begin to hate the people or things around him.20.The main idea of this passage is that.A.culture shock is an occupational diseaseB.culture shock is caused by the anxiety of living in a strange cultureC.culture shock has peculiar symptomsD.it is very hard to cope with life in a new setting正确答案：CACCB5.Part II Vocabulary and StructureDirections:In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.Each sentence is followed by four choices.Choose the one that best completes the

英语六级模拟卷二附答案

英语六级模拟卷二（附答案）Part ⅡReading Comprehension(35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Perhaps all criminals should be required to carry cards which read : “F ragile : handle with care.” It will never do, theses days, to go around referring to criminal as violent thugs.You must refer to them politely as “social misfits” ( 不能适应社会的人).The professional killer who wouldn’t think twice about using his club or knife to batter some harmless old lady to death in order to rob her of her meager life savings must never be given a dose of his own medicine. He is in need of “hospital treatment”. According to his misguided defenders, society is to blame.A wicked society breeds evil or so the argument goes. When you listen to this kind of talk, it makes you wonder why we aren’t all criminals. We have done away with the absurdly harsh laws of the nineteenth century and this is only right. But surely enough is enough. The most senseless piece of criminal legislation in Britain and a number of other countries has been the suspension of capital punishment.The violent criminal has become a kind of hero-figure in our time. He is glorified on the screen ; he is pursued by the press and paid vast sum of money for his “memories”. Newspapers which specialize in crime reporting enjoy enormous circulations and the publishers of trashy cops and robbers stories or “murder mysteries” have never had it so good. When you read about the achieveme nts of the great train robbers, it makes you wonder whether you are reading about some glorious resistance movement. The hardened criminal is cuddled and cosseted by the sociologists on the one hand and adored as a hero by the masses on the other. It’s no wonder he is a privileged person who expects and receives VIP treatment wherever he goes.Capital punishment used to be a major deterrent. It made the violent robber think twice before pulling the trigger. It gave the cold blooded poisoner something to ponder about while he was shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail. It prevented unarmed policemen from being killed while pursuing their duty by killers armed with automatic weapons. Above all, it protected the most vulnerable members of society, young children, from brutal violence.It is horrifying to think that the criminal can literally get away with murder. We all know that “life sentence” does not meanwhat it says. After ten years or so of good conduct, the most desperate villain is free to return to society where he will live very comfortably, thank you, on the proceeds of his crime, or he will go on committing offences until he is caught again. People are always willing to hold liberal views at the expense of others. It’s always fashionable to pose as the defender of the under-dog, so long as you, personally, remain unaffected. Did the defenders of crime, one wonders, in their desire for fair play, consult the victims before they suspended capital punishment? Hardly, you see, they couldn’t, because all the victims were dead.21. According to the passage, which of the following is the author’s opinion?A) All criminals should be required to carry cards read : “Fragile : Handle with Care.”B) Capital punishment is the only way to deter criminals.C) Society is to blame.D) All criminals need hospital treatment.22. The tone taken by the author towards these defenders of crime in the passage is .A) ironicalB) criticalC) agitatedD) controversial23. “Capital punishment” most probably means .A) life sentenceB) severe punishmentC) fineD) sentence of death24. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A) There has been a marked trend in society towards the humane treatment of less fortunate members.B) Everyone in society thinks it reasonable that all criminals should be punished.C) The author sympathizes with all criminals.D) Robbers usually think twice before shooting.25. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A) Professional killers should not be treated with humane treatment.B) The violent robbers should think twice before pulling the trigger.C) We should give the poisoner time to ponder about while he is shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail.D) Severe punishment,even death penalty, should be given to criminals.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human interliving, long enough to settle back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets any day these days on the issue of nuclear energy. Give it back, say some of the voices, it doesn’t really work, we’ve tried it and it doesn’t work, go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man.The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance about nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, matters of absolute certainty—Newtonian mechanics, for example—have slipped through our fingers, and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, ambiguities; some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear, the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today’s imagining.It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.26. What can’t be inferred from the 1st paragraph?A) Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.B) For three hundred years there have been people holding hostile attitude toward science.C) Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously.D) Three hundred years is not long enough to settle back critical appraisal of scientific method.27. The principle discovery in this century shows .A) man has overthrown Newton’s laws of physicsB) man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzlesC) man has lost many scientific discoveriesD) man has given up some of the once accepted theories28. Now scientists have found in the past few years .A) the exposure of DNA to the public is unnecessaryB) the tiny cell in DNA is a neat little machineC) man knows nothing about DNAD) man has much to learn about DNA29. The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is to say that .A) science is just at its beg inning B) science has greatly improved man’s lifeC) science has made profound progress D) science has done too little to human beings30. The writer’s attitude towards science is .A) criticalB) approvingC) neutralD) regretfulPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The desire for achievement is one of life’s great mysteries. Social scientists have devoted lifetimes to studying the drives that spur us out of bed in the morning,compel us to work or study hard and spark all manner of human endeavor.Indeed, a 1992 textbook actually documents 32 distinct theories of human motivation.Given this diversity of thought,it’s easy to forget that for a half century,American society has been dominated by the psychological school known as behaviorism, or Skinnerian psychology. Although behaviorism and its fundamental principle of “positive reinforcement” have long since lost their sway in academic circles, the Skinnerian legacy remains powerful in every realm of trash out. Do it, and you can go to the movies Friday night.Not in the mood for work? Keep plugging away,and you might get a bonus. Not interest in calculus? Strive for an A in the class, and you will make the honor roll. The theory may be bankrupt, but incentives and rew ards are so much a part of American culture that it’s hard to imagine life without them.Yet that’s exactly what a growing group of researchers are advocating today.A steady stream of research has found that rather than encouraging and diminishing perfo rmance, “our society is caught in a whopping paradox,” asserts Alfie Kohn, author of the new book published by Rewards (Houghton Mifflin), which surveys recent research on the effectiveness of rewards. “We complain loudly about declining productivity, the crisis of our school and the distorted values of our children. But the very strategy we use to solve those problems damaging rewards like incentive plans and grade and candy bars in front of people is partly responsible for the fix we’re in.”It’s a tough argument to make in a culture that celebrates the spoils of success. Yet study after study shows that people tend to perform worse, to give up more easily and to lose interest more quickly when a reward is involved. Children who are given tr eats for doing artwork, for example, lose for tutoring youngsters don’t teach as enthusiastically as tutors offered nothing. And chief executive officers who have been awarded long term incentive plans have often steered their companies toward lower returns.31.According to behaviorism, all human actions .A) are based on stimulus and responseB) have no bearing on human drivesC) are supposed to be highly motivatedD) are of a great mystery32.Behaviorism basically believes in .A) motivationB) performanceC) rewardsD) human factors33. From the passage, it can be inferred that .A) rewards are highly effective in AmericaB) rewards are not much sought after in academic circlesC) rewards have long lost their appeal in American societyD) Americans are addicted to rewards34. The children’s behavior in the last paragraph .A) can be best explained be behaviorismB) can be linked to Pavlov’s dogsC) shows that rewards may well kill desireD) serve to provided evidence to behaviorism35. Which of the following in support of the finding that “people tend to perform worse,…when a reward is involved”( last paragraph )?A) People are not used to being conditioned by prizes.B) Rewards, like punishments, are attempts to control behavior.C) Rewards are so indispensable to American cultures.D) The principle of “positive reinforcement” in not fully enforced.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become power-less, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, theblue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the tight mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise capitalism”? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities—those of and of reason—are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.36. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to render the idea that man is .A) a necessary part of the society though each individual s function is negligibleB) working in complete harmony with the rest of the societyC) an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though functioning smoothlyD) a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly37. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that .A) they are likely to lose their jobsB) they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in lifeC) they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existenceD) they are deprived of their individuality and independence38. From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those .A) who are at the bottom of the societyB) who are higher up in their social statusC) who prove better than their fellow-competitorsD) who could keep far away from this competitive world39. To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should .A) resort to the production mode of our ancestorsB) offer higher wages to the workers and employeesC) enable man to fully develop his potentialitiesD) take the fundamental realities for granted40. The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of .A) approval B) dissatisfaction C) suspicion D) tolerancePart ⅢVocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

How Marketers Target KidsA.Kids represent an important demographic to marketersbecause they have their own purchasing power, they influencetheir parents' buying decisions and they are the adultconsumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising tochildren has exploded in the past decade, increasing from amere $100 millidn in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000. B. Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids becausetrends such as smaller family size, dual incomes andpostponing children until later in life mean that familieshave more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a rolein spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitutematerial goods for time spent with their kids. Here are someof the strategies marketers employ to target kids：Pester (纠缠) PowerC. Today's kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations,soit follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parentsto buy. "Pester power" refers to children's abilityto nag their parents into purchasing items they may nototherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creatingpester power, because advertisers know what a powerfulforce it can be.D. According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into twocategories--"persistence" and "importance". Persistencenagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is notas effective as the more sophisticated "importance nagging".This latter method appeals to parents' desire to provide thebest for their children, and plays on any guilt they may haveabout not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingE. To effectively market to children, advertisers need toknow what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paidresearchers and psychologists, advertisers now have accessto in-depth knowledge about children's developmental,emotional and social needs at different ages. Using researchthat analyzes children's behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, eventheir dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticatedmarketing strategies to reach young people.F. The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U.S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyG. Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of "brand" marketing in her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind ofcorporation--Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name afew--which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the worldhas seen.H.Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots.
