Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.The Curious Case of the Tree That Owns ItselfA) In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark—a large white oak that is almost universally stated to own itself. Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?B) Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved it so, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains,and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it.”C) Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”D) In time, the tree came to be something of a tourist attraction, known as The Tree That Owns Itself. However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death,with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians (看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9,1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.E) About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club (who’d tended to the tree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9, 1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.F) This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree’s heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of othertrees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. Thatsaid, to date, none of the original tree’s other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.G) This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the tree to itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.H) Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens,starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.I) He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he owned that land or not isn’t clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Ward was required to pay Jackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.J) After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff’s office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.K) And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.L) On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson’s death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.M) As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this sideof the story. So how did all of this come about then?N) It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled “Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it’s speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.O) Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn’t until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner. This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published about a decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.39. There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land on which the oak tree sat.40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasinga piece of land from him.41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.43. Jackson’s little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplanting of a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.45. The story of the Tree That Owns Itself appeared in the local paper several times, with slight alterations in wording.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wrong. So why don’t more employees intervene when they see someone exhibiting at-risk behavior in the workplace?There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company’s culture needs to make them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say something effectively.This is not strictly a workplace problem; it’s a growing problem off the job too. Every day people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander effect—the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility. Basically, the larger the crowd, the more people assume that someone else will take care of it—meaning no one effectively intervenes or acts in a moment of need.This crowd mentality is strong enough for people to evade their known responsibilities. But it’s not only frontline workers who don’t make safety interventions in the workplace. There are also instances where supervisors do not intervene either.When a group of employees sees unsafe behavior not being addressed at a leadership level it creates the precedent that this is how these situations should be addressed, thus defining the safety culture for everyone.Despite the fact that workers are encouraged to intervene when they observe unsafe operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening. There is a fear of penalty, a fear that they’ll have to do more work if they intervene. Unsuccessful attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don’t intervene—they tend to prefer to defer that action to someone else for all future situations.On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of their job is to intervene when workers perform a task without the proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe. Competent workers are also required to stop work from continuing when there’s a danger.Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn’t required, supervisors need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a safety climate within their team that supports intervening and open communication among them.Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it’s important to educate everyone within the organization that they are obliged to intervene ifthey witness a possible unsafe act, whether you’re a designated competent person, a supervisor or a frontline worker.46. What is one of the factors contributing to failure of intervention in face of risky behavior in the workplace?A) Slack supervision style.B) Unfavorable workplace culture.C) Unforeseeable risk.D) Blocked communication.47. What does the author mean by “diffusion of responsibility” (Line 4, Para. 3)?A) The more people are around, the more they need to worry about their personal safety.B) The more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone will venture to participate.C) The more people idling around on the street, the more likely they need taking care of.D) The more people are around, the less chance someone will step forward to intervene.48. What happens when unsafe behavior at the workplace is not addressed by the leaders?A) No one will intervene when they see similar behaviors.B) Everyone will see it as the easiest way to deal with crisis.C) Workers have to take extra caution executing their duties.D) Workers are left to take care of the emergency themselves.49. What is the ultimate reason workers won’t act when they see unsafe operations?A) Preference of deferring the action to others.B) Anticipation of leadership intervention.C) Fear of being isolated by coworkers.D) Fear of having to do more work.50. What is critical to ensuring workplace safety?A) Workers be trained to operate their equipment properly.B) Workers exhibiting at-risk behavior be strictly disciplined.C) Supervisors create a safety environment for timely intervention.D) Supervisors conduct effective communication with frontline workers.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The term “environmentalist” can mean different things. It used to refer to people trying to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems. In the 21st century, the term has evolved to capture the need to combat human-made climate change.The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism is thecause of a split within the scientific community about nuclear energy.On one side are purists who believe nuclear power isn’t worth the risk and the exclusive solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. The opposing side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs an amount of power available to meet consumers’ basic demands when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited.Leon Clarke, who helped author reports for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, isn’t an uncritical supporter of nuclear energy, but says it’s a valuable option to have if we’re serious about reaching carbon neutrality.“Core to all of this is the degree to which you think we can actually meet climate goals with 100% renewables,” he said. “If you don’t believe we can do it, and you care about the climate, you are forced to think about something like nuclear.”The achievability of universal 100% renewability is similarly contentious. Cities such as Burlington, Vermont, have been “100% renewable” for years. But these cities often have small populations, occasionally still rely on fossil fuel energy and have significant renewable resources at their immediate disposal. Meanwhile, countries that manage to run off renewables typically do so thanks to extraordinary hydroelectric capabilities.Germany stands as the best case study for a large, industrialized country pushing into green energy. Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 announced Energiewende, an energy transition that would phase out nuclear and coal while phasing in renewables. Wind and solar power generation has increased over 400% since 2010, and renewables provided 46% of the country’s electricity in 2019.But progress has halted in recent years. The instability of renewables doesn’t just mean energy is often not produced at night, but also that solar and wind can overwhelm the grid during the day, forcing utilities to pay customers to use their electricity. Lagging grid infrastructure struggles to transport this overabundance of green energy from Germany’s north to its industrial south, meaning many factories still run on coal and gas. The political limit has also been reached in some places, with citizens meeting the construction of new wind turbines with loud protests.The result is that Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 11.5% since 2010—slower than the EU average of 13.5%.51. What accounts for the divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy?A) Attention to combating human-made climate change.B) Emphasis on protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.C) Evolution of the term ‘green energy’ over the last century.D) Adherence to different interpretations of environmentalism.52. What is the solution to energy shortage proposed by purists’opponents?A) Relying on renewables firmly and exclusively.B) Using fossil fuel and green energy alternately.C) Opting for nuclear energy when necessary.D) Limiting people’s non-basic consumption.53. What point does the author want to make with cities like Burlington as an example?A) It is controversial whether the goal of the whole world’s exclusive dependence on renewables is attainable.B) It is contentious whether cities with large populations have renewable resources at their immediate disposal.C) It is arguable whether cities that manage to run off renewables have sustainable hydroelectric capabilities.D) It is debatable whether traditional fossil fuel energy can be done away with entirely throughout the world.54. What do we learn about Germany regarding renewable energy?A) It has increased its wind and solar power generation four times over the last two decades.B) It represents a good example of a major industrialized country promoting green energy.C) It relies on renewable energy to generate more than half of its electricity.D) It has succeeded in reaching the goal of energy transition set by Merkel.55. What may be one of the reasons for Germany’s progress having halted in recent years?A) Its grid infrastructure’s capacity has fallen behind its development of green energy.B) Its overabundance of green energy has forced power plants to suspend operation during daytime.C) Its industrial south is used to running factories on conventional energy supplies.D) Its renewable energy supplies are unstable both at night and during the day.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

The main ideas were about the causes of climate change, its effects on ecosystems, and what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint.In the reading section, the first passage was about the benefits of studying abroad. It highlighted the culturalexperiences, language skills, and career opportunities that come with studying in a different country. The second passage discussed the history of the internet and its impact on society. It focused on how the internet has changed communication, business, and education.For the writing section, the task was to write an essay comparing traditional education with online learning.

The answers to those questions were kinda tricky, but I think I got most of them right.Next up was the listening section. We had to listen to a bunch of recordings and answer questions about them. Some were really fast and I had a hard time keeping up, but I think I got the hang of it. The answers to those questions were a little easier than the reading ones, so that was a relief.After that was the writing section. We had to write an essay about whether or not social media has a positive or negative impact on society. I thought that was a pretty interesting topic. I wrote about how social media can be good for connecting with friends, but it can also be bad for spreading fake news. I hope the examiner likes my essay!Overall, the exam was pretty challenging, but I think I did my best. I'm not sure how I did, but I'm feeling pretty good about it.

大学英语六级阅读理解题目及答案Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.Music and LanguageMusic and language are two different ---1--- that are often linked together. For example, they both involve a type of communication and have a ---2--- impact on our emotions. However, music and language are fundamentally different in a number of ways.Unlike language, which is composed of words and grammar, music is a ---3--- art form. It uses tones, melodies, rhythms, and harmonies to create emotional ---4---. Language, on the other hand, mainly conveys meaning through the use of words and sentences.Another difference between music and language is their development in humans. ---5--- learn language through exposure to conversations and practice, while music seems to be ---6---. We all have the ability torecognize and appreciate music, even without any formal training. This suggests that our musical abilities may be innate.Furthermore, music and language are processed in different areas of the brain. Language is mainly processed in the left hemisphere, whereas music is ---7--- in both the left and right hemispheres. Evidence has shown that certain ---8--- patients who have lost their ability to speak can still sing, indicating that music may be connected to different neural pathways (神经通路) than language.Despite their differences, music and language are closely related in some ways. Studies have shown that music can assist with language ---9---. For example, listening to music can help ESL students improve their pronunciation and intonation. Similarly, playing a musical instrument can enhance the linguistic abilities of children.In conclusion, while music and language share certain similarities in terms of communication and emotional impact, they also have distinct characteristics. Understanding the differences and connections between music and language can help us appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of each art form.1. [A] skills [B] forms [C] techniques [D] systems2. [A] significant [B] flexible [C] optional [D] limited3. [A] controversial [B] visual [C] sensory [D] practical4. [A] reactions [B] viewpoints [C] expectations [D] contributions5.

[A] music-loving [B] language-deficient [C] brain-damaged [D] memory-impaired9. [A] practice [B] revision [C] acquisition [D] retentionSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Do You Prefer to Stay Single?A. It’s often said that a woman who puts a high priority on her career ends up lying alone on a Saturday night. However, my research on this subject shows that it is basically a myth. In fact, in my surveys I found that highly educated career women are just as likely to form successful marriages as other women, and actually more likely to make a good choice the second time around. By contrast, women who don’t care quite so much about their career and are more willing to settle for less than Mr. Right are more likely to end up single.B. Is marrying for love a good or bad thing? Most of us, it seems, would say, “Good, of course!” But are we really thinking? In reality, marrying purely for love may be less likely to lead to a satisfying marriage. Many psychologists now believe that people who expect marriage to provide happiness are often disappointed. Marrying who we fall in love with is a romantic idea. But psychologists have found it often means falling in love with someone like ourselves and who is familiar to us. Love and passion are often considered separate from friendship and companionship (交往、友谊).C. According to the latest research, newlyweds who feel good abouttheir marriage are healthier than those who don’t. The work is one of thefirst of its kind to show how much influence someone’s thoughts can haveon their health. Researchers measured the heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels of 28 married women as they argued with their husbands and measured the levels of a chemical (化学物质) linked to heart disease. The women were asked before having a disagreement if they were happy in their marriages. When the researchers reviewed the results, they discovered that the women who said they had happier marriages also had lower levels of the chemical than those who said their marriages weren’t going well.D. It is a cultural stereotype that young women like to date older men. In a study of 18 to 24-year-old college students, researchers found that about 80% of men were interested in dating women who were significantly younger, while 85% of women were keen on dating older men. Many participants explained this interest in terms of desire for maturity, not money.E. In the past, people routinely built relationships with neighbors, families, and communities. Now, however, only two in 10 Americans indicate that they regularly spend time with their neighbors, and only one-third of Americans report regularly spending time with their families. Loneliness, experts now suggest, is twice as deadly as obesity (肥胖) and is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Additionally, loneliness can have a long-term impact on both physical and emotional health, increasing the risk for heart disease, depression, and premature death.F. In a research team studying married couples, researchers asked couples whether they felt close to their partners and if they had thought about separating from them. When the researchers reviewed the magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) scans of the participants’ brains, they found that those who had thought about leaving their partners showed activity in the brain regions associated with a variety of negative emotions, such as anger and sadness. On the other hand, couples who felt close and secure with their partners showed greater activation in areas of the brain associated with reward and attachment.11. Couples who feel happy about their marriage have better health.12. Men tend to be interested in dating younger women, while women prefer older men.13. Good family relationships are becoming less common nowadays.14. Love marriages may not always lead to satisfactory marriages.15. People who put a high priority on their careers are less likely to end up single.答案1. B2. A3. C4. A5. D6. B7. C8. C9. A10. B11. C12. D13. E14. B15. A以上是关于大学英语六级阅读理解题目及答案的内容。

Plus, we live in a culture that 36 to the late–nighter, from 24-hourgrocery store to ? shopping site that never close. It’sno surprise, then, that more than half of American adults get the 7 to 9 hoursof shut-eye every night as 37 by sleep experts.Whether or not we can catch up on sleep – on the weekend, say- is ahotly 38 among sleep researchers. The latest evidence suggests thatwhile it isn’t 39 , it might ? when Liu, the UCLA sleep researcher andprofessor of medicine, brought 40 sleep-rest people into the lab for aweekend of sleep during which they lagged about 10 hours per night. ? showed41 in the ability of insulin(胰岛素) to process blood sugar.

Still, Liu isn’t 43 to end the habit of sleeping lessand making up for it later.Sleeping pills, while helpful for some, are not 44 aneffective remedy either. “A sleeping pill will 45 one area of the brain,but there’s never going to be a perfect sleeping pill, because you couldn’treally replicate (复制)the differentchemicals moving in and out of different parts ? the brain to go through thedifferent stages of sleep,” says Dr. Nancy Collop, direct or of the Em?University Sleep Center.A) alternatively I) negotiatedB) caters J) pierceC) chronically K) presumptionD) debated L) readyE) deprivation M) recommendedF) ideal N) surpassesG) improvements O) targetH) necessarily答案:BMDFO GELHJClimate change may be real, but it’s still not easy being greenHow do we convince our inner cavemanto be greener?We ask some outstanding social scientists.A) The road to climatehell is paved with our good intentions. Politicians may tackle polluters whilescientists do battle with carbon emissions. But the most pervasive problem isless obvious: our own behaviour. We get distracted before we can turn down theheating. We break our promise not to fly after hearing about a neighbor’s ripto India. Ultimately, we can’t be bothered to change our attitude. Fortunatelyfor the planet, social science and behavioral economics may be able to do thatfor us.B) Despite mournfulpolar bears and carts showing carbon emissions soaring, mot people find it hardto believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by thePew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent ofparticipants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondentsranked it last on a list of priorities.C) This inconsistencylargely stems from a feeling of powerlessness. “When we can’t actually removethe source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range ofdefense mechanisms,” says Tom Crompton, change strategistfor the environmentalorganization World Wide Fund for Nature.D) Part of the faultlies with our inner caveman. Evolution has programmed humans to pay mostattention to issues that will have an immediate impact. “We worry most aboutnow because if we don’t survive for the next minute, we’re not go ing to bearound in ten years’ time,” says Professor Elke Weber of the Centre forResearch on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University in New York. If theThames were lapping around Big Ben, Londoners would face up to the problem ofemissions pretty quickly. But in practice, our brain discounts the risks—andbenefits—associated with issues that lie some way ahead.E) Matthew Rushworth,of the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, seesthis in his lab every day. “One of the ways i n which all agents seem to makedecisions is that they assign a lower weighting to outcomes that are going tobe further away in the future,” he says. “This is a very sensible way for ananimal to make decisions in the wild and would have been very helpful fo rhumans for thousands of years.”F) Not any longer. Bythe time we wake up to the threat posed by climate change, it could well be toolate. And if we’re not going to make national decisions about the future,others may have to help us to do so.。

大学英语六级阅读理解练习与参考答案大学英语六级阅读理解练习与参考答案:As a company executive(总经理) who spent ten years in federal service, I am often asked what I regard as the biggest difference between working for the government and working for a private company. My invariable response is to say that I look back on my time in government as one of the most exciting and challenging experiences of my life. Furthermore, I never worked as hard as when I was a public servant.When I worked for the government, I worked with some of the finest, most competent and most committed people I have ever met. I was impressed by the overall quality of our career civil servants then, and I still am. But one of my greatest concerns now is that I will not be able to hold this same high opinion in the future.Career public servants are leaving government in alarming numbers, and qualified replacements are becoming harder and harder to find. Good people who leave career government service are striving for highly paid positions in private enterprises.We depend on government to keep this country safe in an uncertain world, to secure justice and domestic order and to solve a host of pressing problems. We need the best possible people performing and overseeing these vital tasks. A high-quality, professional federal service has been a source of national pride for more than a century. But what we have builtup during a hundred years can be lost in less time than we imagine. We cant afford to let this happen. We must act now if this country is to be assured of the quality public service it deserves.21. Career public servants are leaving government in alarming numbers.

Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international markets to compete with those produced in other countries. The French economy needed a larger share of international market to balance its import and export trade.French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone long-rangeddevelopments. Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers income. Wages, it is true, had risen. Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state, and there was fulltime and overtime employment. Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.The government was unwilling to let workers leave the country. It was feared that migration of workers would reduce the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its ualified labor force moved to other countries.26. The purpose of the passage is to_______.A. explain the French governments emphasis on quality productsB. discuss Charles Deschanels contribution to the French industrial developmentC. compare the quality of French goods with that of foreign goodsD. show French workmens enthusiasm to seek well-paid jobs in foreign countries27.

French workers were better paid than the workers in any other European countriesC. the unemployment rate in France was comparatively higher than that in other European countriesD. French workers were able to live better with the increase in their wages28. It is implied in the passage that at that time_______.A. France had a very large share of international marketB. the import and export trade in France was making a successful advanceC. demand and supply in France was barely balancedD. France was experiencing economic depression29. Which of the following is the best indicator of the extreme inflation in France?A. Eighty percent increase in the prices of consumer goods.B. High cost of food.C. High rents for houses.D. Lack of agricultural products.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Rents in France were tightly controlled.B. France was flooding the international market with inferior products.C. French workers were prohibited from going abroad to find jobs.D.

The promise of finding long-term technological solutions to the problem...下面是我整理的,希望对大家有帮助。
The promise of finding long-term technological solutions to the problem of world food shortages seems difficult to fulfill. Many innovations that were once heavily supported and publicized have since fallen by the wayside. The proposals themselves were technically feasible, but they proved to be economically unviable and to yield food products culturally unacceptable to their consumers.One characteristic common to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive government support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to the people for whom they had been developed. A successful new technology, therefore, must fit the entire social cultural system in which it is to find a place. Security of crop yield, practicality of storage, and costs are much more significant than previously been realized by the advocates of new technologies.The adoption of new food technologies depends on more than thesetechnical and cultural considerations; economic factors and governmental policies also strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation. Economists in the Anglo-American tradition have taken the lead in investigating the economics of technological innovation. Although they exaggerate in claiming that profitability is the key factor guiding technical change—they completely disregard the substantial effects of culture—they are correct in stressing the importance of profits. Most technological innovations in agriculture can be fully used only by large landowners and are only adopted if these profit-oriented business people believe that the innovation will increase their incomes. Thus, innovations that carry high rewards for big agribusiness groups will be adopted even if they harm segments of the population and reduce the availability of food in a country. Further, should a new technology promise to alter substantially the profits and losses associated with any production system, those with economic power will strive to maintain and improve their own positions. Therefore, although technical advances in food production and processing will perhaps be needed to ensure food availability, meeting food needs will depend much more on equalizing economic power among the various segments of the populations within the developing countries themselves.1.The passage mentions all of the following as factors importantto the success of a new food crop except the ___.A.practicality of storage of the crop.B.security of the crop yield.C.quality of the crops protein.D.cultural acceptability of the crop.2.The author suggests that, in most emerging countries, extensive government intervention accompanying the introduction of a food innovation will ___.ually be sufficient to guarantee the financial success of the innovation.B.be necessary to ensure that the benefits of the innovation will be spread throughout the society.C.normally occur only when the innovation favors large landowners.D.generally cost the country more than will be earned by the innovation.3.The first paragraph of the passage best supports which of the following statements?A.Too much publicity can harm the chances for the success of a new food innovation.B.Innovations that produce culturally acceptable crops will generally be successful.C.A food-product innovation can be technically feasible and still not be economically viable.D.It is difficult to decide whether a food-product innovation has actually been a success.4.The author provides a sustained argument to uphold which of the following assertions?A.Profitability is neither necessary nor sufficient for a new technology to be adopted.B.Profitability is the key factor guiding technological change.C.Economic factors and governmental policies strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation.D.Innovations carrying high rewards for big agribusiness groups harm the poor.5.The primary purpose of the passage is to discuss the ___.A.means of assessing the extent of the world food shortage.B.difficulties of applying technological solutions to the problem of food shortages.C.costs of introducing a new food technology into a developing country.D.nature of the new technological innovations in the area of food production.答案:CBCCBWhat most people dont realize is that wealth isnt the same as income. If you make $ 1 million a year and spend $ 1 million, youre not getting wealthier, youre just living high. Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these things offer little or no return. The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses. Its an attitude.Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury life style too. Your property taxes skyrocket, along with the cost of utilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher.The rich mans attitude can also be seen in his car. Many drive old unpretentious sedans. Sam Walton, billionaire founder of the Wal Mart Store, Inc., drove a pickup truck.Most millionaires measure success by net worth, not income. Instead of taking their money home, they plow as much as they can into their businesses, stock portfolios and other assets. Why? Because the government doesnt tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes.The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollarhe can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course, hes reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar. Thats the attitude as well.The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and buses, Ive found, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice.The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money. They may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary, but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mind-the amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps and they work unceasingly toward that goal.One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth not just income your goal, the luxury house youve been dreaming about wont seem so alluring. Youll have the attitude.1.Which of the following statements is true?A.Wealth is judged according to the life style one has.B.Inheritance builds an important part in ones wealth.C.High income may make one live high and get rich t the same time.D.Wealth is more of what one has made than anything else.2.By the authors opinion, those who spend money on luxury housesand cars_____.A.will not be taxed by the governmentB.have accumulated wealth in another senseC.live high and have little savedD.can show that they are among the rich3.The rich put their money into business because_____.A.they can get much in return to build their wealthB.they are not interested in luxury houses and carsC.their goal is to develop their companyD.that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government4.The U.S. government doesnt tax what you spend money on _____.A.cars Bhouses C.stock D.boats5.To become wealthy, one should______.A.seek as much income as he canB.work hard unceasinglyC.stick to the way he livesD.save up his earnings答案:DCACB。

羽天全国英语六级阅读理解阅读理解专项练习3 5 篇1.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(1)Giving Credit Where Credit Is Not Due The big identity-theft bust last week was just a taste of what's to come. Here's how to protect your good name HERE'S THE SCARY THING about the identity-theft ring that the feds cracked last week: there was nothing any of its estimated 40,000 victims could have done to prevent it from happening. This was an inside job, according to court documents. A lowly help-desk worker at Teledata Communications, a software firm that helps banks access credit reports online, allegedly stole passwords for those reports and sold them to a group of 20 thieves at $60 a pop. That allowed the gang to cherry-pick consumers with good credit and apply for all kinds of accounts in their names. Cost to the victims: $3 million and rising. Even scarier is that this, the largest identity-theft bust to date, is just a drop in the bit bucket. More than 700,000 Americans have their credit hijacked every year. It's one of crime's biggest growth markets. A name, address and Social Security number--which can often be found on the Web--is all anybody needs to apply for a bogus line of credit. Credit companies make $1.3 trillion annually and lose less than 2% of that revenue to fraud, so there's little financial incentive for them to make the application process more secure. As it stands now, it's up to you to protect your identity. The good news is that there are plenty of steps you can take. Most credit thieves are opportunists, not well-organized gangs. A lot of them go Dumpster diving for those millions of "pre-approved" credit-card mailings that go out every day. Others steal wallets and return them, taking only a Social Security number. Shredding your junk mail and leaving your Social Security card at home can save a lot of agony later. But the most effective way to keep your identity clean is to check your credit reports once or twice a year. There are three major credit-report outfits: Equifax (at ), Trans-Union () and Experian (). All allow you to order reports online, which is a lot better than wading through voice-mail hell on their 800 lines. Of the three, I found TransUnion's website to be the cheapest and most comprehensive--laying out state-by-state prices, rights and tips for consumers in easy-to-read fashion. If you're lucky enough to live in Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey or V ermont, you are entitled to one free report a year by law. Otherwise it's going to cost $8 to $14 each time. A void services that offer to monitor your reports year-round for about $70; that's $10 more than the going rate among thieves. If you think第1 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解you're a victim of identity theft, you can ask for fraud alerts to be put on file at each of the three credit-report companies. Y ou can also download a theft-report form at /idtheft, which, along with a local police report, should help when irate creditors come knocking. Just don't expect justice. That audacious help-desk worker was one of the fewer than 2% of identity thieves who are ever caught. 1.What is the trend of credit-theft crime?[A]Tightly suppressed. [B]More frightening. [C]Rapidly increasing. [D]loosely controlled. 2.The expression “inside job”(Line 6, Paragraph 1) most probably means . [A]a crime that is committedby a person working for the victim [B]a crime that should be punished severely [C]a crime that does great harm to the victim [D]a crime that poses a great threat to the society 3.The creditors can protect their identity in the following way except . [A]destroying your junk mail [B]leaving your Social Security card at home [C]visiting the credit-report website regularly [D]obtaining the free report from the government 4.Why is it easy to have credit-theft? [A]More people are using credit service. [B]The application program is not safe enough. [C]Creditors usually disclose their identity.[D]Creditors are not careful about their identity. 5.What is the best title of the text? [A]The danger of credit-theft [B]The loss of the creditors [C]How to protect your good name [D]Why the creditors lose their identity 2. 2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(2)Opinion polls are now beginning to show that,whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on,high unemployment is probably here to say.This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which第2 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now becoming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom. Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work fr om people’s homes. Later, as transport improved first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes. It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives. All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. 21.What is the main idea of the passage? A)Employment became widespread in the 17th and 18th centuries. B)Unemployment will remain a major problem for industrialized nations. C)The industrial age may now be coming to an end. D)Some efforts and resources should be devoted to helping morepeople cope with the problem of unemployment. 22.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the spread of employment? A)The enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries. B )The development of factories. C)Relief from housework on the part of women. D)Development of modern means of transportation.第3 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解23.It can be inferred from the passage that. A)most people who have been polled believe that the problem of unemployment may not be solved within a short period of time B)many farmers lost their land when new railways and factories were being constructed C)in preindustrial societies housework and community service were mainly carried out by women D)some of the changes in work pattern that the industrial age brought have been reversed 24.What does the word “daunting”in the third paragraph mean? A)Shocking B)Interesting C)Confusing D)Stimulating 25.Which of the following is NOT suggested as a possible means to cope with the current situation? A)Create situations in which people work for themselves. B)Treat employment as the norm. C )Endeavor to revive the household and the neighborhood as centers of production. D)Encourage people to work in circumstances other than normal working conditions. 3.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(3)No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?第4 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information andentertainment industry would collapse. 26.The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage was to . A)plead for the abolishment of uniforms B)show that uniforms are not possible in a democratic society C )advocate stronger governmental controls on the wearing of uniforms D)convince the reader that uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages 27.Why does the author discuss forcing everyone to buy the same car or eat the same food? A) To show that freedom of choice is absolute. B) To show that the government has interfered too much in the lives of individual. C) To suggest what would happen if uniforms became compulsory. D) To predict the way the society will be in the next few generations. 28.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author? A) The person who wears a uniform has no self-worth. B) Wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger concept. C) Uniforms will hurt one entire information and entertainment industry. D) Envy and competition are incentive to improve one’s life. 29.The word “superfluous”(Para. 3) most probably means . A) indispensable B) available C) surplus D) supplementary 30.The next paragraph in this passage might discuss. A) the positive effects of wearing uniforms B) more negative effects of wearing uniforms C) alternative to wearing uniforms D) the legal rights of those not wishing to wear uniforms 4.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(4)A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the第5 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals. If we encounter a dangerous wild animal - a poisonous snake or a wild cat - we do not fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any survival valu e in attacking one’s own, but if we take account of the long competition, which must have existed between our own subspecies and others like Neanderthal man - indeed others still more remote from us than Neanderthal man human rage becomes more comprehensible. In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words “us and them”. “Our”side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we ca n attack. The opposition of “us” and “them” is the touchstone of the two-party system of “democratic” politics. Although there are no very serious consequences to many of these modern psychological representations of the “us and them”emotion, it is as well to remember that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it. The readiness with which humans allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted. 31.A suitable title for this passage would be. A) Why Human Armies Are Formed B) Man’s Anger Against Rage C) The Human Capacity for Rage D) EarlyStruggles of Angry Man 32.According to the author, the surprising aspect of human anger is.A) its lengthy and complex development B) a conflict such as is now going on in Northern Ireland C) that we do not fly into a temper more often D) that we reserve anger for mankind 33.The passage suggests that. A) historically, we have created an “us”versus “them”society B) humans have had a natural disinclination toward formal grouping 第6 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解C) the First World War is an example of how man has always avoided domination D) the emotional origin of the war in Ireland is lost in time 34.From the passage we can infer that .A) the artificial creation of a subspecies unlike us is something that never happens B) games are psychologically unhealthy C) any artificially created subspecies would be our enemy D) the real or imagined existence of an opposing subspecies is inherent in man’s activities 35.The author believes that a religious explanation for the war in Northern Ireland is.A) founded in historical fact B) deceptive C) apparent D) probably accurate 5.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(5)The first way we can approach language is as a phenomenon of the individual person. It is concerned with describing and explaining language as a matter of human behavior. People speak and write; they also evidently read and understand what they hear. They are not born doing so; they have to acquire these skills. Not everybody seems to develop them to the same degree. People may suffer accidents or diseases, which impair their performance. Language is thus seen as part of human psychology, a particular sort of behavior, the behavior, which has as its principal, function that of communication. The trouble with the term “behavior”is that it is often taken to refer only to more or less overt, and describable, physical movements and acts. Y et part of language behavior-that of understanding spoken or written language, for example-has little or no physically observable signs. It is true we can sometimes infer that understanding has taken place by the changes that take place in the other person’s behavior. When someone has been prohibited from doing something, we may infer that he has understood the prohibition by observing that thereafter he never behaves in that way. We cannot, of course, be absolutely sure that his subsequent behavior is a result of his understanding; it might be due to a loss of interest or inclination. So behavior must be taken to include unobservable activity, often only to be inferred from other observable behavior. Once we admit that the study of language behavior involves describing and explaining the unobservable, the situation becomes much more complicated, because we have to postulate some set of processes, some internal mechanism, which operates when we speak and understand. We have to postulate something we can call a mind. The study of language from this point of view can then be seen as a study of the specific properties, processes and states of the mind第7 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解whose outward manifestations are observable behavior; what we have to know in order to perform linguistically. This approach to language, as a phenomenon of the individual, is thus principally concerned with explaining how we acquire language, and its relation to general human cognitive systems, and with the psychological mechanisms underlying the comprehension and production of speech; much less with the problem of what language is for, that is, its function ascommunication, since this necessarily involves more than a single individual. 36.What is the best title for this passage? A) Language as Means of Communication. B) Language and Psychology. C) Language and the Individual. D) Language as a Social Phenomenon.37.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A) Language is often regarded as part of human psychology. B) People develop language skills of different degrees as a result of different personal experiences. C) Language is a special kind of psychological behavior that is born with an individual. D) People learn to speak and write through imitation and training. 38.What does the term “behavior ”in the second paragraph especially refer to in this passage? A) It refers to observable and physical movements and acts.B) It refers to the part of language behavior that involves understanding or interpretation. C) It refers to both the overt and the unobservable language behaviors in communicating. D) It refers to acts of speaking and writing. 39.What does “internal mechanism”(Line 3, Para. 3) mean? A) Secret machine. B) Mental processes. C) Overt system. D) Mechanic operation.40.What can you infer from the passage? A) Its individualistic approach to language is meant to study the psychological processes of language acquisition. B) The individualistic approach to language is mainly concerned with how language functions in society. C) The study of language is sure to involve more than a single individual. D) Psychological approach to language is concerned with the comprehension and production of speech. 6.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(6)The American economic system is organized around a basically 第8 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解private-enterprise,market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen,striving to make profits,produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen;and the profit motive,operating under competitive pressures,largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus,in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers,coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes,that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it. An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy ,this mechanism is provided by a price system,a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand,the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If,on the other hand,producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost,this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers,which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus,price is the regulating mechanism in the America economic system. The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individual are allowed to own productive resources (private property),and they are permitted to hire labor,gain control over natural resources,and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy,the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights,including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual. 1.In Para. 1,“the desire ofindividuals to maximize their incomes”means . A.Americans never feel satisfied with their incomes. B.Americans tend to overstate the amount of their incomes. C.Americans want to have their incomes increased. D.Americans want to increase the purchasing power of their incomes.2.The first two sentences in the second paragraph clarity the idea to us that . A.producers can satisfy the consumers by mechanized production. B.consumers can express their demands through producers. C.producers decide the prices of products. D.supply and demand regulate prices.3.The word “embraces” in Para. 3 probably parallels .第9 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解A.enfoldB.hugprehendD.support 4.According to the passage , a private-enterprise economy is characterized by . A.private property and rights concerned.B.manpower and natural resources control.C.ownership of productive resourcesD.free contracts and prices. 5.The passage is mainly talking about . A.how American goods are produced. B.how American consumers buy their goods. C.how American economic system works. D.how American businessman make their profits 7.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(7)There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system,the administered system,and the traditional system. In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market ,transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy,real goods such as automobiles,shoes,and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously,finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence,the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy,goods and services are bought or sold for money. An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced ,exchanged ,and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan,drawn up by the government,shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production,consumption,and exchange for the whole economy. In a traditional society,production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition;every person‘s place within the economic system is fixed by parentage,religion,and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition,too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons,provide them with food and shelter ,care for their health ,and provide for their education. Clearly,in a system where every decision第10 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解is made on the basis of tradition alone,progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result. 1.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To outline contrasting types of economic systems. B.To explain the science of economics. C.To argue for the superiority of one economic system. D.To compare barter and money-exchange markets. 2.In the second paragraph,the word “real”in “real goods”could best be replaced by ,A.high quality B.concrete C.utter D.authentic. 3.According to the passage,a barter economy can generate . A.rapid speed of transactions. B.misunderstandings. C.inflation D.difficulties for the traders. 4.According to the passage,who has the greatest degree of control in the administered system?A.Individual households B.Small businesses. C.Major corporations. D.The government. 5.Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining a person‘s position in a traditional society? A.Family background B.Age C.Religious beliefs. D.Custom 8.2007 年12 月英语六级阅读专项训练(8)Western airliner manufacturers seem to be tripping over themselves in their eagerness to sign collaborative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners. Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign such agreements ,as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology. If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other:the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain,the other by trying to break into a market which isn‘t big enough to sustain it. Technology transfer works in a growing market ,where the aspirations of the new entrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion. The airliner market is not such a device. Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20 years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales. It follows that if new manufacturers come into the market and take sales,their sales must come from substitution,not expansion. Given the complexity of today‘s airliners,it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer. In the short term,such involvement may not be to the exclusive benefit of the new entrant :most of the established manufacturers are searching for ways to reduce costs of manufacture.第11 页共52 页羽天全国英语六级阅读理解In the short term ,,it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air –frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such a China,Taiwan or Korea ,while retaining the design ,development and marketing of aircraft for itself. It would be a very unwise Western manufacturer which did not heed the fact that these developing economies are acquiring skills (like computing )at least as quickly as they are acquiring skills in metallbashing. The danger comes when the new entrant no longer needs the established Western partner because it has acquired the technical and intellectual ability to design and build its own aircraft. An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base,the high-cost technology base and the vital financ ial base to build a new airliner. 1.The author‘s attitude towards Western/eastern collaboration can be depicted as .A.positiveB.progressiveC.conservativeD.negative 2.“The airliner market is not such a device ” means that the airliner market . A.does not encourage technology transfer B.is too limited to offer chances of success C.requires hi-tech rather than unaccepted devices D.is full of competitions even for new entrants 3.Established manufacturers search for partners in order to . A.save the cost of the airframe B.improve some aircraft components C.save the cost of labour D.develop new technology 4.According to the author,a wise established manufacturer should . A.try to benefit from both financial and technical resources B.break up his partnership with the East once profits are made C.keep a tight told over hi-tech development and marketing of airliners D.collaborate。

如何扫读全文呢重点去读文章的第一段,如果各部分有小标题,还要读一下各部分的小标题,如果无小标题,则扫读每段的首句,这样做的目的就是为了把握文章的大意和总体结构,同时也能快速的得出后面主旨题的答案。
第二,要将考查题目与原文相对应。
六级考试与考研英语一样,在题目的设置上呈现出出题顺序与行文顺序一致的规律。
最后一题的答案定位信息点一般不可能在第一段或前面几段出现。
所以我们按顺序把每一道题目题干中的定位词先划出来,再按段落顺序依次去定位。
那么,何为定位词呢?通常分为两类:第一类是表时间、数字及首字母大写的人名地名等专有名词;第二类是比较长,比较复杂的名词;这里切记,不能用表达中心思想的主题词去定位,因为文章通篇讲的都是它。
由于问题顺序和文章行文顺序一致,所以先做第一小题,然后做第二小题,看一道,做一道。
千万不要把文章全部看完后再做题,或者全部题目看完后再读文章。
在将题目和文章比对的同时,要善于学会精读重点信息。
比如,文中举例处,引语及多个名词并列而不是完整句子的`内容,均可略读。
此外,要多关注文中的逻辑关系词,对于这些词的把握,有助于我们精确把握重要信息。
通常要注意下面三种逻辑关系:(1)并列、递进关系:and,or,besides,furthermore,what’smore,then,inaddition,moreover,inotherwords;(2)因果关系:asaresultof,onaccountof,asaresult,thanksto,therefore,hence,consequently,because,for,dueto,owingto;(3)转折关系:whereas,however,but,nevertheless,yet,infact;最后,要学会运用特殊的标点符号,比如冒号,破折号,小括号。
这些标点符号的出现就是对前面的内容作进一步的说明。
所以,在阅读文章时,可以跳读这些标点符号后面的信息,从而帮助我们节省更多宝贵的时间并且更加快速地把握文章的主旨。
第三,精炼原文,学会概括。
1."Nothingismore…than"和"Nothingisso…as"结构,"Nothingismore…than"和"Nothingisso…as"都具有最高级比较的意思,"Nothing"可换用"no","nobody","nowhere","little","few","hardly","scarcely"等等,可译为"没有……比……更为","像……再没有了","最……"等。
Nothingismorepreciousthantime.2.强调句型Itisnotwhorulesusthatisimportant,buthowherulesus.3."All+抽象名词"或"抽象名词+itself"(very+形容词)Hewasallgentlenesstoher.4.利用词汇重复表示强调5."something(much)of"和"nothing(little)of""somethingof"相当于"tosomeextent",表示程度。
