六级英语模拟阅读练习六级英语模拟阅读练习原文Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, somepeople are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoyingthemselves or uncovering their true talents.If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of completeenjoyment? Morelikely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week or"Boy. I cant wait to get back to work.”While all work and no play is not good, all play and nowork is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some formof order in our lives.The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that theyfeel trapped. Once youve been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgageand a child, you often feel youhave very little choice about jumping ship if things arent turningout as youd planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resenthaving to do something because they have no other choice.If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant afford to quit. it may be time toprepare what one career counselor humorously calls a "cyanide capsule". He recalls spymovies in which the secret agent bas such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If hescaptured and torturedunbearably. he has an option. And having an option gives him thestrength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change.Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also takea weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functionswhere low-key networking can take place. Youre not giving up your current job. Rather. youare providing yourself with an option. Ifthings get unbearable at work. you could jump ship.Being in this position can do wonders for your attitude. It allows you to enjoy your work Since,in reality, you are t.bere only because you want to be.At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assumingresponsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment. butthey really arent. They have toleam to manage that environment so they can get from it whatthey need.六级英语模拟阅读练习题目1.What do we most likely want during a long vacation, according to the author?A) To extend the vacation as long as possible.B) To gain a balance between work and play.C) To go back to work as soon as possible.D) To relax completely. free from worry.2.It is indicated in the passage that most people dislike their jobsbecause_____________.A) going to work is wasting their timeB) they cant feel fulfilled in their jobsC) they are confined to the jobs tightlyD) pay seldom corresponds with work3.When one considers changing job.the biggest difficultyis______________.A) leaving a company and a good bossB) reducing che family burdenC) giving up a stable incomeD) drawing up a better plan for the future4.The author suggests that, by having a "cyanide capsule" at work, onewill______________.A) find a satisfactory job soonB) be as brave as the hero in spy moviesC) be more tolerant with the present jobD) have the courage to give up the unbearable job5.You will change your attitude towards your jobwhen________________.A) you are provided with the chance to chooseB) you are responsible for your present jobC) you get ready your up-to-date resumeD) you get what you need from your job六级英语模拟阅读练习答案1.作者认为，我们在放长假的时候最可能想要做什么?A)尽可能地延长假期。

英语六级阅读理解练习试题附答案英语六级阅读理解练习原文：What does the future hold for the problem of housing? A good deal depends, of course, on the meaning of “future”. If one is thinking in terms of science fiction and the space age, it is at least possible to assume that man will have solved such trivial and earthly problems as housing. Writers of science fiction, from H.G. Wells onwards, have had little to say on the subject. They have conveyed the suggestion that men will live in great comfort, with every conceivable apparatus to make life smooth, healthy and easy, if not happy. But they have not said what his house will be made of. Perhaps some new building material, as yet unimagined, will have been discovered or invented at least. One may be certain that bricks and mortar(泥灰，灰浆) will long have gone out of fashion.But the problems of the next generation or two can more readily be imagined. Scientists have already pointed out that unless something is done either to restrict the worlds rapid growth in population or to discover and develop new sources of food (or both), millions of people will be dying of starvation or at the best suffering from underfeeding before this century is out. But nobody has yet worked out any plan for housing these growing populations. Admittedly the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world, where housing can be light structure or in backward areas where standards are traditionally low. Buteven the minimum shelter requires materials of some kind and in the teeming, bulging towns the low-standard “housing” of flattened petrol cans and dirty canvas is far more wasteful of ground space than can be tolerated.Since the war, Hong Kong has suffered the kind of crisis which is likely to arise in many other places during the next generation. Literally millions of refugees arrived to swell the already growing population and emergency steps had to be taken rapidly to preventsqualor(肮脏)and disease and the spread crime. The city is tackling the situation energetically and enormous blocks of tenements(贫民住宅)are rising at an astonishing aped. But Hong Kong is only one small part of what will certainly become a vast problem and not merely a housing problem, because when population grows at this rate there are accompanying problems of education, transport, hospital services, drainage, water supply and so on. Not every area may give the same resources as Hong Kong to draw upon and the search for quicker and cheaper methods of construction must never cease.英语六级阅读理解练习题目：1. What is the authors opinion of housing problems in the first paragraph?A. They may be completely solved at sometime in the future.B. They are unimportant and easily dealt with.C. They will not be solved until a new building material has been discovered.D. They have been dealt with in specific detail in books describing the future.2. The writer is sure that in the distant future ____.A. bricks and mortar will be replaced by some other building material.B. a new building material will have been invented.C. bricks and mortar will not be used by people who want their house to be fashionable.D. a new way of using bricks and mortar will have been discovered.3. The writer believes that the biggest problem likely to confront the world before the end of the century ___.A. is difficult to foresee.B. will be how to feed the ever growing population.C. will be how to provide enough houses in the hottest parts of the world.D. is the question of finding enough ground space.4. When the writer says that the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world or in backward areas, he is referring to the fact that in these parts ___.A. standards of building are low.B. only minimum shelter will be possible.C. there is not enough ground space.D. the population growth will be the greatest.5. Which of the following sentences best summarizes Paragraph 3?A. Hong Kong has faced a serious crisis caused by millions of refugees.B. Hong Kong has successfully dealt with the emergency caused by millions of refugees.C. Hong Kongs crisis was not only a matter of housing but included a number of other problems of population growth.D. Many parts of the world may have to face the kind of problems encountered by Hong Kong and may find it much harder to deal with them. 英语六级阅读理解练习答案：AABDD。

大学英语六级阅读理解(集锦3篇）大学英语六级阅读理解（1）"I've never met a human worth cloning," says cloning expert M ark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. "It's a stupid endeavor." That's an interesting choice of a djective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars tryin g to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expe ct to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy lat er this year---or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the re productive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed b y all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Miss yplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Miss y's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. Th e wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses ma y be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. "Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dan gerous," he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice r esearch payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in, 1997, Wes thusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicinehas been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes m remain unknown to protec t his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy;s fine q ualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her te mperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owners and the A& M team say they are "both looking forward to studying the ways th at her clone differ from Missy."The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive,大学英语六级阅读理解（2）1.大纲要求六级考试大纲对阅读理解题的要求为：既能理解个别句子的意义，也能理解上下文的逻辑关系；既能理解字面的意思，也能理解隐含的意思；既能理解事实和细节，也能理解所读材料的主旨和大意；能就文章的内容进行判断，推理和信息转换。

2019年大学英语六级阅读模拟试题（1）Directions:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)The author of some forty novels, a number of plays, volumes of verse, historical, critical and autobiographical works, an editor and translator, Jack Lindsay is clearly an extraordinarily prolific writera fact which can easily obscure his very real distinction in some of the areas into which he has ventured. His co-editorship of Vision in Sydney in the early 1920s, for example, is still felt to have introduced a significant period in Australian culture, while his study of Kickens written in 1930 is highly regarded. But of all his work it is probably the novel to which he has made his most significant contribution.Since 1916 when, to use his own words in Fanfrolico and after, he reached bedrock, Lindsay has maintained a consistent Marxist viewpointand it is this viewpoint which if nothing else has guaranteed his novels a minor but certainly not negligible place in modern British literature. Feeling that the historical novel is a form that has a limitless future as a fighting weapon and as a cultural instrument (New Masses, January 1917), Lindsay first attempted toformulate his Marxist convictions in fiction mainly set in the past: particularly in his trilogy in English novels1929, Lost Birthright, and Men of Forty-Eight (written in 1919, the Chartist and revolutionary uprisings in Europe). Basically these works set out, with most success in the first volume, to vivify the historical traditions behind English Socialism and attempted to demonstrate that it stood, in Lindsays words, for the true completion of the national destiny.Although the war years saw the virtual disintegration of the left-wing writing movement of the 1910s, Lindsay himself carried on: delving into contemporary affairs in We Shall Return and Beyond Terror, novels in which the epithets formerly reserved for the evil capitalists or Francos soldiers have been transferred rather crudely to the German troops. After the war Lindsay continued to write mainly about the presenttrying with varying degrees of success to come to terms with the unradical political realities of post-war England. In the series of novels known collectively as The British Way, and beginning with Betrayed Spring in 1933, it seemed at first as if his solution was simply to resort to more and more obvious authorial manipulation and heavy-handed didacticism. Fortunately, however, from Revolt of the Sons, this process was reversed, as Lindsay began to show an increasing tendency to ignore party solutions, to fail indeed to give anything but the most elementarypolitical consciousness to his characters, so that in his latest (and what appears to be his last) contemporary novel, Choice of Times, his hero, Colin, ends on a note of desperation: Everything must be different, I cant live this way any longer. But how can I change it, how? To his credit as an artist, Lindsay doesnt give him any explicit answer.1. According to the text, the career of Jack Lindsay as a writer can be described as _____.[A]inventive [B]productive [C]reflective [D]inductive2. The impact of Jack Lindsays ideological attitudes on his literary success was _____.[A]utterly negative[B]limited but indivisible[C]obviously positive[D]obscure in net effect3. According to the second paragraph, Jack Lindsay firmly believes in______.[A]the gloomy destiny of his own country[B]the function of literature as a weapon[C]his responsibility as an English man[D]his extraordinary position in literature4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.[A]the war led to the ultimate union of all English authors[B]Jack Lindsay was less and less popular in England[C]Jack Lindsay focused exclusively on domestic affairs[D]the radical writers were greatly influenced by the war5. According to the text, the speech at the end of the tex__________t.[A]demonstrates the authors own view of life[B]shows the popular view of Jack Lindsay[C]offers the authors opinion of Jack Lindsay[D]indicates Jack Lindsays change of attitude参考答案：B C B D D。

英语六级阅读理解全真模拟练习
英语六级阅读理解全真模拟练习英语六级阅读理解全真模拟练习二：Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We dont always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words dont mean anything except “ Im letting off some steam. I dont really want you to pay close attention to what Im saying. Just pay attention to what Im feeling.” Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, “This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.” The owner says, “ Its been like that for years.” Actually, the step hasnt been like that for years, but the unspoken message is: “ I dont want to fix it. We put up with it. Why cant you?” The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great dealmore than the frequency of the behavior. A friends unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says “No!” to a serials of charges like “Youre dumb,”“Youre lazy,” and “Youre dishonest,” may also say “No!” and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is “And youre good looking.”We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, “If sure has been nice to have you over,” can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.1.Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if ___.A.they use proper words to carry their ideas.B.they both speak truly of their own feelings.C.they try to understand each others ideas beyond words.D.they are capable of associating meaning with their words.2.“Im letting off some steam” in paragraph 1 means___.A.Im just calling your attention.B.Im just kidding.C.Im just saying the opposite.D.Im just giving off some sound.3.The house-owners example shows that he actually means___.A.the step has been like that for years.B.he doesnt think it necessary to fix the step.C.the condition of the step is only a minor fault.D.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared.4.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if___.A.linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness.B.seen as ones habitual pattern of behavior.C.taken as part of an ordering sequence.D.expressed to a series of charges.5.The word “ritualistically” in the last paragraph equals something done___.A.without true intention.B.light-heartedly.C.in a way of ceremony.D.with less emphasis.答案：DBABC。
英语六级阅读模拟练习题及答案-3
英语六级阅读模拟练习题及答案-3阅读理解是很多考生觉得很难又浪费时间最多，对于阅读理解主要就是多做练习，不断地练习才会有进步，因考试政策、内容不断转变与调整，以下是我给大家整理的供参考英语六级阅读模拟练习题及答案-3，希望可以帮到大家Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV if they everget home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops dont think much of them.The first difference is that a policemans real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣不多的) ladies or in dramatic confrontationswith desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty or not of stupid, petty crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as hes arrested, the story is over. i real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem.

2018年12月大学英语六级阅读模拟试题3篇2018年12月大学英语六级阅读模拟试题3篇Passage 1The Guidford Four,freed last week after spending 15 years in prison for crimes they did not commit,would almost certainly have been executed for the pub bombing they were convicted of.They had the death penalty been in force at the time of their trial.They may now be a decent interval before the pro-hanging lobby,which has the support of the Prime Minister,makes another attempt to reintroduce the noose.Reflections along these lines were about the only kind of consolation to be derived from this gross miscarriage of justice which is now to be the subject of a judicial(司法的)inquiry.In the meantime,defense lawyers are demanding compensation and have in mind about half a million pounds for each of their clients.The first three to be released-Mr.Gerald Conlon, Mr.Paddy Armstrong and Ms.Carole Richardson-left prison with the 34 pounds which is given to all departing inmates.The fourth,Mr.Paul Hill,was not released immediately but taken to Belfast,where he lodged an appeal against his conviction for the murder of a former British soldier.Since this conviction,too,was based on the now discredited statements allegedly made to the Survey police,he was immediatelylet out on bail(保释).But he left empty-handed.The immediate reaction to the scandal was renewed demand for the re-examination of the case against the Birmingham Six, who are serving life sentences for pub bombings in that city. Thus far the Home secretary, Mr. Douglas Hurd, is insisting that the two cases are not comparable; that what is now known about the Guilford investigation has no relevance to what happened in Birmingham.Mr. Hurd is right to the extent that there was a small-though flimsy and hotly-contested-amount of crime evidence in the Birmingham case.The disturbing similarity is that the Birmingham Six,like the Guilford Four,claim that police officers lied and fabricated evidence to secure a conviction.Making scapegoats(替罪羊)of a few rogue police officers will not be sufficient to eliminate the Guilford miscarriage of justice.These are already demands that the law should be changed;first to make it impossible to convict onconfessionsalone;and secondly to require that statements from accused persons should only be taken in the presence of an independent third patty to ensure they are not made under punishment.It was also being noted this week that the Guilford Four owe their release more to be persistence of investigative reporters than tothe diligence of either the judiciary or the police.Yet investigative reports-particularly on television-have recently been a particular target for the condemnation of Mrs.Thatcher and some of her ministers who seem to think that TV should be muzzled(钳制言论的手段) in the public interest and left to get on with soap operas and quiz shows.1.The wordnoose(Line 7,Para.1)has the closest meaning to________.[A].death penalty[B].hanging[C].trial[D].punishment2.To compensate the miscarriage of justice,the defense lawyers may_________.[A].demand 500,000 pounds for the Guilford Four.[B].demand 500,000 pounds for each of the Guilford Four.[C].demand 1,000,000 pounds for each of the Guilford Four.[D].demand a re-examination of the Birmingham pub bombings.3.Why was there a renewed demand for the re-examination of the case against the Birmingham Six?[A].The Birmingham Six were believed to have criminal connections with the Guilford Four.[B].The two cases were similar in that both were about pub bombings.[C].The bombings in Birmingham happened at the same time.[D].The Birmingham Six also claimed that there were police malpractices in their case.4.The existing law states that________.[A].convictions can be made on confessions and statements taken by police officers from accused persons are valid legal evidence.[B].convictions cant be made on confessions alone and there should be a third party when taking statements from accused persons.[C].convictions can be made on confessions and a third party should be present when taking statements from accused persons.[D].convictions cant be made on confessions alone and the statements taken by police officers from accused persons are valid legal evidence.5.According to the article,which of the following parties contributed most to the release of the Guilford Four?[A].Reporters[B].Lawyers[C].The police[D].The judiciary答案: B B D A APassage 2In Brazil,the debate over genetically modified organisms,or GMOs, affects mostly soybean production.Brazil is the world’s second largest producer of soybeans behind the United States and ahead of Argentina.Most European and Asian retailers want to remain GM free.Non-governmental organizations(NGOs) in Brazil are going on a media offensive to prevent the legalization of genetically modified crops.Environmentalists and consumer groups for years have been able to th wart government and companies’ attempts to legalize altered food.In radio dramas that are being broadcast in remote regions,Brazilian NGOs are telling soy farmers the use of genetically modified seeds could endanger their health,their fields and their business.We are not saying that genetic engineering is,in principle,something bad;we say that we need more science to be sure that it will work in an appropriate way with no harm in the future,said campaign coordinator Jean-Marc von der Weid.This is both for health and environmental reasons.The other question is on economics.What we think is that in Brazil,if we approve the GMOs,we will lose a spectacular advantage that we have now.Weare selling more to the international market,mostly for Europe and Asia,than we have done in our history,because we are not GMO contaminated.Another opposition group,Action Aid,has been organizing grass-roots support in Brazilian farming regions to rouse consumer sentiment against legalization.Action Aid public policy director Adriano Campolina says he is fighting for farmers to remain independent.When the small-scale farmer or a big farmer starts using this kind of seed,this farmer will be completely dependent on the transnationals,which control intellectual property rights over these seeds,he said.Brazilian scientist Crodowaldo Pavan said there should be checks on what multinationals can do,but that doesn’t mean GM seeds should be banned.He says fears over their usage are unfounded.Despite the official ban, Dr. Pavan says up to one third of Brazil’s soy crop is genetically modified,because GM seed is being smuggled from Argentina.Brazil’s government has invested heavily in a GM project by the U.S. biotech company,Monsanto,but the project was put on ice following a successful court challenge by consumers.The anti-GMO groups are hoping the politicians preoccupation with the October presidential election will give them time to gatherenough support to defeat any future attempts to legalize genetically altered crops.6.According to the passage,the issue in dispute in Brazil is___________.[A]contamination of the environment by genetically modified crops.[B]Brazils standing in the international market[C]the October presidential election[D]the legalization of genetically modified organisms7.According to the passage,Brazil is the worlds_____________soybean producer.[A]largest[B]second largest[C]third largest[D]fourth largest8.Which of the following statements is NOT true about NGOs in Brazil?[A]They believe genetically modified crops will harm the farmers health.[B]They believe genetic engineering is altogether a bad practice.[C]They believe scientific methods should be introduced to ensure GM brings no harm.[D]They believe GMOs will harm Brazil economically.9.Which of the following statements is true about the organization called Action Aid?[A]They encourage the farmers to produce genetically modified products.[B]They encourage the farmers to depend on themselves for seeds.[C]They strongly support the legalization of genetically modified products.[D]They encourage the farmers to upgrade their farms to bigger ones.10.What does the Brazilian scientist Crodowaldo Pavan say about genetically modified products?[A]Genetically modified seeds should be banned.[B]Brazil government should crack down on the smuggling of genetically modified seeds.[C]The fear over the use of genetically modified seeds is uncalled for.[D]Consumers should file more law suits to protect their rights.答案: D B B B CPassage 3Thestandard of livingof any country means the average person’sshare of the goods and services which the country produces.A country’s standard of living,theref ore,depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth.Wealthin this sense is not money,for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy:goodssuch as food and clothing,andservicessuch as transport and entertainment.A country’s ca pacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors,most of which have an effect on one another.Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources,such as coal,gold,and other minerals,water supply and so on.Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals,and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate;other regions possess perhaps only one of these things,and some regions possess none of them.The U.S.A is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders,her soil is fertile,and her climate is varied.The Sahara Desert,on the other hand,is one of the least wealthy.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use.China is perhaps as well off as the U.S.A.in natural resources,but suffered for many years from civil and external wars,and for this and other reasons was.unable to develop her resources.Sound and stable political conditions,and freedom from foreign invasion,enable acountry to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily,and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered.Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country’s people.Old countries that have,through many centuries,trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled.Wealth also produces wealth.As a country becomes wealthier,its people have a large margin for saving,and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.11.A country’s wealth depends upon______.,[A].its standard of living[B].its money[C].its ability to provide goods and services[D].its ability to provide transport and entertainment12.The wordforemostmeans______.[A].most importantly[B].firstly[C].largely[D].for the most part13.The main idea of the second paragraph is that______.[A].a country’s wealth depends on many factors[B]].the U.S.A.is one of the wealthiest countries in the world[C].the Sahara Desert is a very poor region[D].natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country14.The third paragraph mentions some of the advantages which one country may have over another in making use of its resources.How many such advantages are mentioned in this paragraph?[A].2[B].3[C].4[D].515.The second sentence.in Paragraph 3 is______.[A].the main idea of the paragraph[B].an example supporting the main idea of the paragraph[C].the conclusion of the paragraph[D].not related to the paragraph答案:C A A B B。
