可编辑修改精选全文完整版大学英语六级真题试卷Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.We all have offensive breath at one time or another. In most cases, offensive breath emanates from bacteria in the mouth, although there are other more causes.Until a few years ago, the most doctors could do was to counsel patients with bad breath about oral cleanliness. Now they are finding new ways to treat the usually curable condition.Bad breath can happen whenever the normal flow of saliva (唾液) slows. Our mouths are full of bacteria feeding on protein in bits of food and shed tissue. The bacteria emit evil smelling gases, the worst of which is hydrogen sulfide (硫化物).Mouth bacteria thrive in airless conditions. Oxygen rich saliva keeps their numbers down. When we sleep, for example, the saliva stream slows, and sulfur producing bacteria gain the upper hand, producing classic “morning breath”.Alcohol hunger, too much talking, breathing through the mouth during exercise anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath. So can stress, though it’s not understood why. Some people’s breath turns sour every time they go on a job interview.Saliva flow gradually slows with age, which explains why the elderly have more bad breath trouble than younger people do. Babies, however, who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath.For most of us, the simple, dry mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured. Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria. Breakfast often stops morning breath.Those with chronic dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum, hard candy, or a bottle of water or juice around. Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.Surprisingly, one thing that rarely works is mouthwash. The liquid can mask bad breath odor with its own smell, but the effect lasts no more than an hour. Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath. The trouble is, they don’t necessarily reach all offending germs. Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layers of mucus (粘液). If the mouthwash contains alcohol-as most do-it can intensify the problem by drying out the mouth.31. The phrase “emanate from”in Paragraph 1 most probably means “________”.A) thrive onB) account forC) originate fromD) descend from32. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the causes of bad breath?A) Tooth trouble.B) Sulfur rich food.C) Too much exercise.D) Mental strain.33. According to the passage, alcohol has something to do with bad breath mainly because ________.A) it keeps offending bacteria from reproducingB) its smell adds to bad breathC) it kills some helpful bacteriaD) it affects the normal flow of saliva34. Mouthwashes are not an effective cure for bad breath mainly because ________.A) they can’t mask the bad odor long enoughB) they can’t get to all the offending bacteriaC) their strong smell mixes with bad breath and makes it worseD) they can’t cover the thick layers of mucus35. We can infer from this passage that ________.A) offensive breath can’t easily be curedB) elderly people are less offended by bad breathC) heavy drinkers are less affected by bad breathD) offensive breath is less affected by alcoholQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.“Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major Credit cards accepted!”By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched mass longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. “We don’t have a budget,”says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street. “We just use our credit cards.”The U.S. has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies. Now the U.S., still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement (廉价商品部). Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices-anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia-have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $79 billion in 1994. That’s up from $74 billion the year before.True, not everyone comes just for brains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and U.S. television series. But shopping the U.S.A. is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge (无节制) has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.The U.S. has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but is does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the U.S. needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the U.S. stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $1624 a traveller versus the American s’four nights and $298.36. From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her ________.A) are reluctant to carry cash with themB) simply don’t care how much they spendC) are not good at planning their expenditureD) often spend more money than they can afford37. The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that ________.A) it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the U.S.B) it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the U.S.C) tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar that yearD) tourists came to the U.S. for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year38. By saying “nobody undersells America”(Line 4, Para. 3), the author means that ________.A) no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American productsB) nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commoditiesC) nobody restrains the selling of American goodsD) no other country sells at a lower price that America39. Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners?A) Because they have gained much publicity through the American media.B) Because they represent the world’s latest fashions.C) Because they embody the most sophisticated technology.D) Because they are available at all tourist destinations.40. From the passage we can conclude that the U.S. has come to realize ________.A) the weakening if the U.S. dollar can result in trade deficitsB) the lower the retail prices, the greater the profitsC) tourism can make great contributions to its economyD) visitors to the U.S. are wealthier than U.S. tourists abroadPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

The experiment is based upon the idea that farmers who ' re protecting their herd from lions would shoot and kill lions in an effort to protect theirlivestock. While this makes a lot of sense, it results in many lion deaths that 27 would have been unn ecessary. Researchers in Australia have bee n 28 and testi ng a method of trickery to make lions think they are being watched by the pain ted eyes on cow butts.This idea is based on the prin ciple that lions and other 29 are far less likely to attack whe n they feel they are being watched. As con servati on areas become smaller, lio ns are in creas in gly coming into con tact with huma n populatio ns, which are expa nding to the 30 of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they could make actual headway in the fight for con servati on. “ If the method works, it could provide farmers in Botswa na-a nd 31 —with alow-cost, susta in able tool to protect their livestock, and a way to keep lions safe from being killed. ”Lions are 32 ambush( 埋伏)hu nters, so whe n they feel their prey has 33 them, they usually give up on the hunt. Researchers are 34 testi ng their idea on a select herd of cattle. They have pain ted half of the cows with eyes and left the other half as normal. Through satellite tracking of both the herd and the lions in the area, they will be able to 35 if their psychological trickery will work to help keep farmers from shooting lions.A) adva nces I) otherwiseB) boun daries J) predatorsC) challe nging K) primarilyD) curre ntly L) retortedE) determ ine M) spottedF) devis ing N) testim oniesG) elsewhere O) wrestleH) n everthelessSecti on BDirections: In this sect ion, you are going to read a passage with ten stateme nts attached to it.

Answer the questions by markingthe corresp onding letter on An swer Sheet 2.Resilie nee Is About How You Recharge, Not How You En dure[A] As con sta nt travelers and pare nts of a 2-year-old, we sometimesfan tasize about how much work we can do whe n one of us gets on apla ne, un distracted by phon es, frie nds, or movies. We race to get all our ground work done: pack ing, going through security, doing a last- minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amaz ing work sessi on in flight, we get nothing done. Eve n worse, after refresh ing our email orreadi ng the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted whe n we land to soldier on with（继续处理）the emails that have in evitably still piled up.[B] why should flying deplete us? We ' re just sitting there doingnothing. Why can ' t we be tougher, more resilient（有复原力的）and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves? Based on our curre nt research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from a misconception of what it means to be resilient,and the result ing impact of overwork ing.[C] We often take a militaristic, “ tough ” approach to resilienee and determ in ati on like a Marine pulli ng himself through the mud, a boxergoing one more round, or a football player pick ing himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that the Ion ger we tough it out, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be.However, this en tire con cepti on is scie ntifically in accurate.[D] The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically hold ing back our collective ability to be resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlati on betwee n lack of recovery and in creasedin cide nee of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery —whetherby disrupt ing sleep with thoughts of work or hav ing con ti nu ous cog nitive arousal by watchi ng our phones ——is cost ing our compa nies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.[E] And just because work stops, it doesn ' t mean we are recovering.We “stop ” work sometimes at 5pm, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking about our work over dinner, and falling asleep thinking about how much work we ' ll do tomorrow. I n a study just released, researchers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegia ns have become workaholics（工作狂）.The scie ntists cite a definition “workaholism ” as “ being overly concerned about work,drive n by an uncon trollable work motivatio n, and inv esti ng so much time and effort in work that it impairs other importa nt life areas. ”[F] We believe that the number of people who fit that definitionin cludes the majoriy of America n workers, which prompted us to beg in a study of workaholism in the U.S. Our study will use a large corporate dataset from a major medical compa ny to exam ine how tech no logy exte nds our work ing hours and thus in terferes with n ecessary cog nitive recovery, result ing in huge health care costs and tur no ver costs for employers.[G] The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age.Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a high schoolstudent staying up until 3am to finish a science fair project. What a distortio n of resilie nce! A resilie nt child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted stude nt goes to school, he risks hurt ing every one on the road with his impaired driving; he doesn ' t have the cognitive resources to dowell on his En glish test; he has lower self-c on trol with his frie nds; and at home, he is moody with his pare nts. Overwork and exhausti on are the opposite of resilience and the bad habits we acquire when we ' re young on ly magnify whe n we hit the workforce.[H] As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recoveryzone, otherwise you risk bur no ut. Gatheri ng your resources to “ try hard requires burning en ergy in order to overcome your curre ntly low arousal level. It also worse ns exhausti on. Thus the more imbala need we become due to overworking, the more value there is in activities the allow us to return to a state of bala nee. The value of a recovery period rises in proporti on to the amount of work required of us.[I] So how do we recover and build resilie nee? Most people assume that if you stop doing a task like answering emails or writhing a paper, your brain will naturally recover, so that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, you ' ll have your energy back. But surely every one read ing this has had times whe n youlie in bed for hours,un able to fall asleep because your brains is thi nking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. That ' s because rest and recovery are not the same thi ng.[J] If you ' re trying to build resilienee at work, you need adequate internal and external recovery periods. As researchers Zijlstra, Cropleyand Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper: “I nternal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxati on that take place within the frames of the work day or the work sett ing in the form of short scheduled or unscheduled breaks, by shifting attention or changing to other worktasks whe n the men tai or physical resources required for the in itial task are temporarily depleted or exhausted. Exter nai recovery refers to actions that take place outside of work —e.g. in the free time betwee n the work days, and duri ng weeke nds, holidays or vacati ons. ” If after work you lie around on your bed and get irritated by political comme ntary on your pho ne or get stressed thinking about decisi ons about how to reno vate your home, your brain has not received a break from high men tal arousal states. Our brains n eed a rest as much as our bodies do.[K] If you really want to build resilie nee, you can start by strategically stopp ing. Give yourself the resources to be tough by creat ing internal and exter nal recovery periods. Amy Bla nkson describes how to strategically stop duri ng the dayby using tech no logy to con trol overwork ing. She suggests dow nl oad ing the In sta nt or Mome nt apps to see how many times you turn on your pho ne each day. You can also use apps like Offtime or Un plugged to create tech free zones by strategically scheduli ng automatic airpla ne modes. The average pers on turns on their phone 150 times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute, that would acco unt for 2.5 hours a day.[L] In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to charge your batteries. Try to not have lunch at your desk, but in steadspe nd time outside or with your frie nds —not talk ing about work. Take allof your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, but raises your productivity and likelihood of promotion.[M] As for us, we ' ve started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and thus time to dip into the recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the time we get on a plane, and the crowded space and un stable internet connection make work more challe nging. Now, i nstead of swimmi ng upstream, we relax, sleep, watch movies, or liste n to music. And whe n we get off the pla ne, in stead of being depleted, we feel recovered and ready to retur n to the performa nee zone.36. It has bee n found that in adequate recovery ofte n leads to poor health and accide nts.37. Mental relaxation is much needed, just as physical relaxation is.38. Adequate rest not only helps one recover, but also in creases one ' s work efficiency.39. The author always has a hectic time before taking a flight.40. Recovery may not take place eve n if one seems to have stopped worki ng.41. It is advised that tech no logy be used to preve nt people from overwork ing.42. Con trary to popular belief, rest does not equal recovery.43. The author has come to see that his problem results from a misunderstanding of the meaning of resilienee.44. People ' s distorted view about resilienee may have developed from their upbri nging.45. People tend to thi nk the more determ ined they are, the greater their success will be.Section CDirectio ns: There are 2 passages in this sect ion .Each passage is followed by some questi ons or unfini shed stateme nts.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D).

As fifth-graders, childre n with early atte nti on problems obta ined average read ing scores at least 3% lower tha n their con temporaries ' and grades at least 8%lower tha n those of their peers. This was after con troll ing for IQ, socio-ec ono micstatus and academic skills at school en try.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of earlyatte nti on problems con ti nued throughout the childre n careers. Lower read ing achieveme nt scores and grades in fifth gradecon tributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby con tributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate.“The children we identified as having attention difficulties were notdiag no sed with atte nti on deficit hyperactivity disorder( 注意力缺乏多动症)(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder.

Ofte n the adva ntages of convenient, mobile tech no logy are both obvious and take n for gran ted,leav ing more subtle topics for concerned discussi on: Are smartph ones disturb ing childre n ' s sleep? Is an in ability to get away from work hav inga n egative impact on health? And what are the implicati ons for privacy?But today, on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, let ' s take amome nt to con sider a less obvious adva ntage: the pote ntial for smartph one techno logy to revolutio nize behavioral scie nee. That ' s because, for the first time in human history, a large proportion of the species is in continu ous con tact with tech no logy that can record key features of an in dividual ' s behavior and en vir onment.Researchers have already begu n to use smartph ones in social scientific research, either to query people regularly as they engage in their normal live or to record activity using the device ' s built-in sensors. These studies are confirming, challenging and extending what ' s been found using more traditi onal approaches, in which people report how they behaved in real life or participate in relatively short and artificial laboratory-based tasks.Such studies are just first steps. As more data are collected and methods for analysis improve, researchers will be in a better position to iden tify how differe nt experie nces, behaviors and en vir onments relate to each other and evolve over time, with the potential to improve people s productivity and wellbe ing in a variety of doma ins. Bey ond reveali ngpopulatio n-wide patter ns, the right comb in ati on of data and an alysis can also help individuals identify unique characteristics of their own behavior, in clud ing con diti ons that could in dicate the n eed for some form of in terve nti on —such as an unu sual in crease in behaviors that sig nal a period of depressi on.Smartphone-based data collection comes at an appropriate time in theevolution of psychological scienee. Today, the field is in transition, movi ng away from a focus on laboratory studies with un dergraduate participa nts towards more complex, real-world situati ons studied with more diverse groups of people. Smartph ones offer new tools for achiev ing these ambiti ons, providi ng rich data about everyday behaviors in a variety of con texts.So here ' s another way in which smartphones might transform the way we live and work: by offeri ng in sights into huma n psychology and behavior and, thus, support ing smarter social scie nee.51. What does the author say about the n egative impact of smartph on es?A) lt has bee n overshadowed by the positive impact.B) It has more ofte n tha n not bee n take n for gran ted.C) lt is not so obvious but has caused some concern.D) lt is subtle but should by no means be overstated.52.

记叙部分是叙述中毒和脱险经过，议论部分是提出自己的观点，呼吁重视食品安全。

需注意的是事件描述要真实．避免空洞；观点要全面客观。

第一段：描述中毒和脱险经过．以具体事例说明食品安全存在很大的问题。

第二段：发出呼吁，这也正是写信的目的。

A Letter on Food Safety to a Publishing HouseNovember 27th, 2005Dear editor.Last week, one of my roommates, Gary, bought a bag of bread from a small supermarket. There was no. production date printed on the package. He ate up the bread and two hours later, he felt his stomach started aching. He wanted to vomit but failed. He couldn't help moaning and didn't want to eat or drink anything. We hurriedly took him to the hospital. After several hours of transfusion, Gary recovered. The doctor told us he had been food poisoned. The food he ate had expired its shelf life.From this incident, I think measures on food safety should be further strengthened. More importantly, the supervision on small supermarkets should be stricter. In fact, small supermarkets are ignored to some extent. This may be another meaning of the saying "Ignorance is danger." For those businessmen and managers, they should be more morally conscious. They might be trying to save some money at the cost of others' health and .more money loss. As college students, we should be morel careful when we select food in order to avoid such incident.Yours,HuckPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-7, mark：Y (for YES)Cross-Cultural Communication ChallengesDefinition of CultureWe **municate with others all the time—in our homes, in our workplaces, in the groups we belong to, and in **munity. No matter how well we think we understand each other, communication is hard. Just think, for example, how often we hear things like, "He doesn''t get it," or "She didn''t really hear what I meant to say." "Culture" is often at the root of communication challenges. Our culture influences how we approach problems, and how we participate in groups and in communities. When we participate in groups we are often surprised at how differently people approach their work together.Culture is a complex concept, with many different definitions. But, simply put, "culture" refers to a group or community with which we **mon experiences that shape the way we understand the world. It includes groups that we are born into, such as gender, race, or national origin. It also includes groups we join or become part of. For example, we can acquire a new culture by moving to a new region, by a change in our economic status, or by becoming disabled. When we think of culture this broadly, we realize we all belong to many cultures at once.Our histories are a critical piece of our cultures. Historical experiences—whether of five years ago or of ten generations back—shape who we are. Knowledge of our history can help us understand ourselves and one another better. Exploring the ways in which various groups within our society have related to each other is key to opening channels for cross-**munication.Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural DifferencesAs people from different cultural groups take on the exciting challenge of working together, cultural values sometimes conflict. We can misunderstand each other, and react in ways that can hinder what are otherwise promising partnerships. Oftentimes, we aren''t aware mat culture is acting upon us. Sometimes, we are not even aware that we have cultural values or assumptions that are different fromothers!--Different Communication StylesThe way **municate varies widely between, and even within, cultures. One aspect of communication style is language usage. Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of "yes" varies from "maybe, I''ll consider it" to"definitely so," with many shades in between.Another major aspect of communication style is the degree of importance given to non-**munication. Non-**munication includes not only facial expressions and gestures; it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time. In addition, different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings. For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some black, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends. Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.--Different Attitudes Toward ConflictSome cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist. In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address me conflict.--Different Approaches to Completing TasksFrom culture to culture, there are different ways that people move **pleting tasks. Some reasons include different access to resources, different judgments of the rewards associated with**pletion, different notions of time, and varied ideas about how relationship-building and task-oriented work should go together.When it comes to working together effectively on a task, cultures differ with respect to the importance placed on establishing relationships early on in the collaboration. A case in point, Asian and Hispanic cultures tend to attach more value to developing relationships at the beginning of a shared project and more emphasis on **pletion toward the end as compared with European-Americans. European-Americans tend to focus immediately on the task at hand, and let relationships develop as they work on the task. This does not mean that people from any one of these cultural backgrounds are moreor **mitted to accomplishing the task, or value relationships more or less; it means they may pursue them differently.--Different Decision-Making StylesThe roles individuals play in decision-making vary widely from culture to culture. For example, in the U.S., decisions arefrequently delegated—that is, an official assigns responsibility for a particular matter to a subordinate. In many Southern European and Latin American countries, there is a strong value placed on holding decision-making responsibilities oneself. When decisions are made by groups of people, majority rule is a common approach in the U.S.; in Japan consensus is the preferred mode. Be aware that individuals'' expectations about their own roles in shaping a decision may be influenced by their cultural frame of reference.--Different Attitudes Toward DisclosureIn some cultures, it is not appropriate to be frank about emotions, about the reasons behind a conflict or a misunderstanding, or about personal information. Keep this in mind when you are in a dialogue or when you are working with others. When you are dealing with a conflict, be mindful that people may differ in what they**fortable revealing. Questions that may seem natural to you—What was the conflict about? What was your role in the conflict? What was the sequence of events?—may seem intrusive to others. The variation among cultures in attitudes toward disclosure is also something to consider before you conclude that you have an accurate reading of the views, experiences, and goals of the people with whom you are working.--Different Approaches to KnowingNotable differences occur among cultural groups when it comes to epistemologies (认识论)—that is, the ways **e to know things. European cultures tend to consider information acquired through cognitive means, such as counting and measuring, more valid than other ways of coming to know things. Compare that to Africancultures'' preference for affective ways of knowing, including symbolic imagery and rhythm.Asian cultures'' epistemologies tend to emphasize the validity of knowledge gained through striving toward transcendence (卓越). {Nichols, 1976) Recent popular works demonstrate that our own society is paying more attention to previously overlooked ways of knowing.ConclusionAn appreciation of patterns of cultural difference can assist us in processing what it means to be different in ways that are respectful of others, not fault-finding or damaging.Anthropologists Avruch and Black have noted that, when faced by an interaction that we do not understand, people tend to interpret the others involved as "abnormal", "weird" or "wrong". (Avruch and Black, 1993) This tendency, if indulged, gives rise on the individual level to prejudice. If this propensity is either consciously or unconsciously integrated into organizational structures, then prejudice takes root in our institutions—in the structures, laws, policies, and procedures mat shape our lives. Consequently, it is vital that we learn to control the human tendency to translate "different from me" into "less than me". We can learn to do this.We can also learn to collaborate across cultural lines as individuals and as a society. Awareness of cultural differences doesn''t have to divide us from each other. It doesn''t have to paralyze us either, for fear of not saying the "right thing". In fact, becoming more aware of our cultural differences, as well as exploring our similarities, can help us communicate with each other more effectively. Recognizing where cultural differences are at work is the first step toward understanding and respecting each other.SSS_SINGLE_SEL2.In a broad sense, people all belong to many cultures.A YB NC NG该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 7.1答案:A根据关键词in a broad sense和cultures 查读小标题Definition of Culture下面第二段最后一句When we think of culture this broadly，we realize we all belong to many cultures at once．SSS_SINGLE_SEL3.Jewish and Italian Americans usually think a raised voice means a beginning of a fight.A YB NC NG该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 7.1答案:B根据关键词a raised voice 查读小标题Different Communication Styles下面第二段第四句…Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends．SSS_SINGLE_SEL4.In some Eastern countries, face-to-face meetings are favored to work through the conflicts.A YB NC NG该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 7.1答案:B根据关键词conflicts 查读小标题Different Attitudes Toward Conflict下面第四句…in many Eastern countries…differences are best worked out quietly．SSS_SINGLE_SEL5.Even people from the same cultural **plete their tasks differently.A YB NC NG该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 7.1答案:C根据关键词complete their tasks查读小标题Different Approaches to Completing Tasks下面的内容。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them the re are four choices marked A)，B)，C), and D). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.A few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin deep. One’sphysical assets and liabilities don’t count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best.Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not so beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.Un American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group-college students, or teachers or corporate personnel mangers-a piece of paper relating an individual’s accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted.Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, thehigher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire (追求) to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.21. According to the passage, people often wrongly believe that in pursuing a career as a manager ________.A) a person’s property or debts do not matter muchB) a person’s outward appearance is not a critical qualificationC) women should always dress fashionablyD) women should not only be attractive but also high minded22. The result of research carried out by social scientists show that ________.A) people do not realize the importance of looking one’s bestB) women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid wellC) good looking women aspire to managerial positionsD) attractive people generally have an advantage over those who are not23. Experiments by scientists have shown that when people uate individuals on certain attributes ________.A) they observe the principle that beauty is only skin deepB) they do not usually act according to the views they supportC) they give ordinary looking persons the lowest ratingsD) they tend to base their judgment on the individual’s accomplishments24. “Good looks cut both ways for women”(Line 1, Para. 5) means that ________.A) attractive women have tremendous potential impact on public jobsB) good looking women always get the best of everythingC) being attractive is not always an advantage for womenD) attractive women do not do as well as unattractive women in managerial positions25. It can be inferred from the passage that in the business world ________.A) handsome men are not affected as much by their looks as attractive women areB) physically attractive women who are in the public eye usually do quite wellC) physically attractive men and women who are in the public eye usually get along quite wellD) good looks are important for women as they are for menQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Not content with its doubtful claim to produce cheap food for our own population, the factory farming industry also argues that “hungry nations are benefiting from advances made by the poultry (家禽) industry”. In fact, rather than helping the fight against malnutrition (营养不良) in “hungry nations,”the spread of factory farming has, inevitably aggravated the problem.Large scale intensive meat and poultry production is a waste of food resources.This is because more protein has to be fed to animals in the form of vegetable matter than can ever be recovered in the form of meat. Much of the food value is lost in the animal’s process of digestion and cell replacement. Neither, in the ca se of chicken, can one eat feathers, blood, feet or head. In all, only about 44% of the live animal fits to be eaten as meat.This means one has to feed approximately 9—10 times as muchfood value to the animal than one can consume from the carcass. As a system for feeding the hungry, the effects can prove disastrous. At times of crisis, grain is the food of life.Nevertheless, the huge increase in poultry production throughout Asia and Africa continues. Normally British or US firms are involved. For instance, an American based multinational company has this year announced its involvement in projects in several African countries. Britain’s largest suppliers chickens, Ross Breeders, are also involved in projects all over the world.Because such trade is good for exports, Western governments encourage it. In 1979, a firm in Bangladesh called Phoenix Poultry received a grant to set up a unit of 6,000 chickens and 18,000 laying hens. This almost doubled the number of poultry kept in the country all at once.But Bangladesh lacks capital, energy and food and has large numbers of unemployed. Such chicken raising demands capital for building and machinery, extensive use of energy resources for automation, and involves feeding chickens with potential famine relief protein food. At present, one of Bangladesh’s main imports is food grains, because the country is unable to grow enough food to feed its population. On what then can they possibly feed the chicken?26. In this passage the author argues that ________.A) efficiency must be raised in the poultry industryB) raising poultry can provide more protein than growing grainC) factory farming will do more harm than good to developing countriesD) hungry nations may benefit from the development of the poultry industry27. According to the author, in factory, vegetable food ________.A) is easy for chickens to digestB) is insufficient for the needs of poultryC) is fully utilised in meat and egg productionD) is inefficiently converted into meat and eggs28. Western governments encourage the poultry industry in Asia because they regard it as an effective way to ________.A) boost their own exportsB) alleviate malnutrition in Asian countriesC) create job opportunities in Asian countriesD) promote the exports of Asian countries29. The word “carcass”(Line 2, Para. 3) most probably means “________”.A) vegetables preserved for future useB) the dead body of an animal ready to be cut into meatC) expensive food that consumers can hardly affordD) meat canned for future consumption30. What the last paragraph tells us is the author’s ________.A) detailed analysis of the ways of raising poultry in BangladeshB) great appreciation of the development of poultry industry in BangladeshC) critical view on the development of the poultry industry in BangladeshD) practical suggestion for the improvement of the poultry industry in Bangladesh。

⼤学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版英语六级复习必刷资料⼤学英语六级真题与答案详解完整版Part I Writing标准版My opinion on certificate crazeThe growing tendency among college students to get all kinds of certificates has now evolved into a craze. Just randomly ask a student what he or she is busily engaged in doing, quite possibly, you would get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. So, why’s the craze?The reason behind this phenomenon is common — the enormous pressure of finding a job. Faced with a harsh job market, most students have no choice but to seek more certificates to parlay their qualifications. Another factor is that diploma and certificates still weighs heavily in terms of signifying one’s ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another.Though I have an open mind toward the craze on certificates, I suggest that students should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since they do not necessarily tell their ability. Instead, they should be more involved in learning and capability boosting, thus, opportunities would come quite naturally.⽂章点评：这是⼀篇“中等偏上”的学⽣作⽂。
