大学英语六级真题试卷-(13)精选全文完整版

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.

These days conservation is all about efficiency: getting the same — or better — results from just a fraction of the energy. When a slump in business travel forced Ulrich Rǒmer to cut cost costs at his family-owned hotel in Germany, he replaced hundreds of the hotel’s wasteful light bulbs, getting the same light for 80 percent less power. He bought a new water boiler with a digitally controlled pump, and wrapped insulation around the pipes. Spending about € 100,000 on these and other improvements, he slashed his € 90,000 fuel and power bill by €60,000. As a bonus, the hotel’s lower energy needs have reduced its annual carbon emissions by more than 200 metric tons. “For us, saving energy has been very, very profitable,” he says. “And most importantly, we’re not giving up a single comfort for our guests.”Efficiency is also a great way to lower carbon emissions and help slow global warming. But the best argument for efficiency is its cost —or, more precisely, its profitability. That’s because quickly g rowing energy demand requires immense investment in new supply, not to mention the drain of rising energy prices.No wonder efficiency has moved to the top of the political agenda. On Jan. 10, the European Union unveiled a plan to cut energy use across the continent by 20 percent by 2020. Last March, China imposed a 20 percent increase in energy efficiency by 2020. Even George W. Bush, the Texas oilman, is expected to talk about energy conversation in his State of the Union speech this week.The good news is that the world is full of proven, cheap ways to save energy. Here are the seven that couldhave the biggest impact:InsulateSpace heating and cooling eats up 36 percent of all the world’s energy. There’s virtually no limit to how much of that can be saved, as prototype “zero-energy homes” in Switzerland and Germany have shown. There’s been a surge in new ways of keeping heat in and cold out (or vice versa). The most advanced insulation follows the law of increasing returns: if you add enough, you can scale down or even eliminate heating and air-conditioning equipment, lowering costs even before you start saving on utility bills. Studies have shown that greenworkplaces (ones that don’t constantly need to have the heat or air-conditioner running) have higher worker productivity and lower sick rates.Change BulbsLighting eats up 20 percent of the world’s electricity, or the equivalent of roughly 600,000 tons of coal a day. Forty percent of that powers old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs —a 19th-century technology that wastes most of the power it consumes on unwanted heat.Compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs, not only use 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs to generate the same amount of light, but they also last 10 times longer. Phasing old bulbs out by 2030 would save the output of 650 power plants and avoid the release of 700 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year. Comfort ZoneWater boilers, space heaters and air conditioners have been notoriously inefficient. The heat pump has altered that equation. It removes heat from the air outside or the ground below and uses it to supply heat to a building or its water supply. In the summer, the system can be reversed to cool building as well.Most new residential buildings in Sweden are already heated with ground-source heat pumps. Such systems consume almost no conventional fuel at all. Several countries have used subsidies to jump-start the market, including Japan, where almost 1 million heat pumps have been installed in the past two years to heat water for showers and hot tubs.Remake FactoriesFrom steel mills to paper factories, industry eats up about a third of the world’s energy. The opportunities to save are vast. In Ludwigshafen, German chemicals giant BASF runs aninterconnected complex of more than 200 chemical factories, where heat produced by one chemical process is used to power the next. At the Ludwigshafen site alone, such recycling of heat and energy saves the company € 200 million a year and alm ost half its CO2 emissions. Now BASF is doing the same for new plants in Ch ina. “Optimizing(优化) energy efficiency is a decisive competitive advantage, ” says BASF CEO Jǔrgen Hambrecht.Green DrivingA quarter of the world’s energy —including two thirds of the annual production of oil —is used for transportation. Some savings come free of charge: you can boost fuel efficiency by 6 percent simply by keeping your car’s tires properly inflated (充气). Gasoline-electric hybrid (混合型) models like the Toyota Prius improve mileage by a further 20 percent over conventional models.A Better FridgeMore than half of all residential power goes into running household appliances,producing a fifth of the world’s carbon emissions. And that’s true even though manufacturers have already hiked the efficiency of refrigerators and other white goods by as much as 70 percent since the 1980s. According to an International Energy Agency study, if consumers chose those models that would save them the most money over the life of the a ppliance, they’d cut global residential power consumption and their utility bills by 43 percent.Flexible PaymentWho says you have to pay for all your conservation investment?“Energy service contractors” will pay for retrofitting (翻折改造) in return fo r a share of the client’s annual utility-bill savings. In Beijing, Shenwu Thermal EnergyTechnology Co. specializes in retrofitting China’s steel furnaces. Shenwu puts up the initial investment to install a heat exchanger that preheats the air going into the furnace,slashing the client’s fuel costs . Shenwu pockets a cut of those savings, so both Shenwu and the client profit.If saving energy is so easy and profitable, why isn’t everyone doing it? It has to do with psychology and a lack of information. M ost of us tend to look at today’s price tag more than tomorrow’s potential savings. T hat holds double for the landlord or developer, who won’t actually see a penny of the savings his investment in better insulation or a better heating system might generate. In many people’s minds, conservation is still associated with self-denial. Many environmentalists still push that view.Smart governments can help push the market in the right direction. The EU’s 1994 law on labeling was such a success that it extended the same idea to entire buildings last year. To boost the market value of efficiency, all new buildings are required to have an “energy pass” detailing power and heating consumption. Countries like Japan and Germany have successively tightened building codes, requiring an increase in insulation levels but leaving it up to builders to decide how to meet them.The most powerful incentives, of course, will come from the market itself. Over the past year, sky-high fuel prices have focused minds on efficiency like never before. Ever-increasing pressure to cut costs has finally forced more companies to do some math on their energy use.Will it be enough? With global demand and emissions rising so fast, we may not have any choice but to try. Efficienttechnology is here now, proven and cheap. Compared with all other options, it’s the biggest, easies t and most profitable bang for the buck.1. What is said to be the best way to conserve energy nowadays?[A] Raising efficiently.

Please write youranswers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Men, these days, are embracing fatherhood with the round-the-clock involvement their partners have always dreamed of —handling night feedings, packing lunches and bandaging knees. But unlike women, many find they’re negotiating their new roles with little support or information. “Men in my generation (aged 25-40) have a fear of becoming dads because we have no role models,” says Jon Smith, a writ er. They often find themselves excluded from mothers’ support networks, and are eyed warily (警觉地) on the playground.The challenge is particularly evident in the work-place. There, men are still expected to bebreadwinners climbing the corporate ladder: traditionally-minded bosses are often unsympathetic to family needs. In Denmark most new fathers only take two weeks of paternity leave (父亲的陪产假) — even though they are allowed 34 days. As much as if not more so than women, fathers struggle to be taken seriously when they request flexible arrangements.Though Wilfried-Fritz Maring, 54, a data-bank and Internet specialist with German firm FIZ Karlsruhe, feels that the time he spends with his daughter outweighs any disadvantages, he admits, “With my decision to work from home I dismissed any opportunity for promotion.”Mind-sets (思维定势) are changing gradually. When Maring had a daughter, the company equipped him with a home office and allowed him to choose a job that could be performed from there. Danish telecom company TDC initiated an internalcampaign last year to encourage dads to take paternity leave: 97 percent now do. “When an employee goes on paternity leave and is with his kids, he gets a new kind of training: in how to keep cool under stress.”says spokesp erson Christine Elberg Holm. For a new generation of dads, kids may come before the company -but it’s a shift that benefits both.47. Unlike women, men often get little support or information from .48. Besides supporting the family, men were also expected to .49. Like women, men hope that their desire for a flexible schedule will be .50. When Maring was on paternity leave, he was allowed by his company to work .51. Christine Holm believes paternity leave provides a new kind of training for men in that it can help them cope with .Section BDirections: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 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Like most people, I’ve long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people. I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned (示意) me back with his finger minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂工) plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be serve d.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked — cordially.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.I’m now applying to graduated school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in or der to get what they want, I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.52. The author was disappointed to find that _______.[A] one’s position is used as a gauge to measure one’s intelligence[B] talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job[C] one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person[D] professionals tend to look down upon manual workers53. What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?[A] Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.[B] People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.[C] Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.[D] Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all.54. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?[A] She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional.[B] She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.[C] She was embarrassed each time her customers joked withher.[D] She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.55. What does the author imply by saying “…many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant”(Lines 3-4, Para.7)?[A] Thos e who cater to others’ needs are destined to be looked down upon.[B] Those working in the service industry shouldn’t be treated as servants.[C] Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.[D] The majority of customers tend to look on a servant as server nowadays.56. The author says she’ll one day take her clients to dinner in order to ________.[A] see what kind of person they are[B] experience the feeling of being served[C] show her generosity towards people inferior to her[D] arouse their sympathy for people living a humble lifePassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.What’s hot for 2007 among the very rich? A $7.3million diamond ring. A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals. Oh, and income inequality.Sure, some leftish billionaires like George Soros have been railing against income inequality for years. Butincreasingly, centrist and right-wing billionaires are staring to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.In December, Mortimer Zuckerman wrote a column in U.S.News & World Report, which he owns. “our nation’s core bargain with the middle class is disintegrating,” lamented (哀叹) the 117th-richest man in America. “Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder. Average income for a household of people of wor king age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a raw.” He noted that “Tens of millions of Americans live in fear that a major health problem can reduce them to bankrupt cy.”Wi lbur Ross Jr. has echoed Zuckerman’s anger over the bitter struggles faced by middle-class Americans. “It’s an outrage that any American’s life expectancy should be short ened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care c overage,” said the former chairman of the International Steel Group.What’s happening? The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to politi cs and policy. Given the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by Ca lifornia’s governor to offer universal health care, these guys don’t need their own personal weathermen to know which way the wind blows.It’s possible that plutocrats (有钱有势的人) are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory (没收性的) tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that.No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened tothe distribution of income and economic insecurity.In other words, if middle-class Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it’s likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad. For people who buy and sell companies, or who allocate capital to markets all around the world, that’s the real nightmare.57. What is the current topic of common interest among the very rich in America?[A] The fate of the ultrawealthy people.[B] The disintegration of the middle class.[C] The inequality in the distribution of wealth.[D] The conflict between the left and the right wing.58. What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman’s lamentation?[A] Many middle-income families have failed to make a bargain for better welfare.[B] The American economic system has caused companies to go bankrupt.[C] The American nation is becoming more and more divided despite its wealth.[D] The majority of Americans benefit little from the nation’s growing wealt h.59. From the fifth paragraph we can learn that ________.[A] the very rich are fashion-conscious[B] the very rich are politically sensitive[C] universal health care is to be implemented throughout America。

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objectiveterms. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’ behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-disclosures (自我流露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically (讽刺性地) those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g.,disclosure and truthful statements).21. The word “pinpoint” (Para. 1, Line 3) basically means ________.A) appreciateB) obtainC) interpretD) identify22. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A) People are better described in cold, objective terms.B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated.C) One should not judge people by their appearances.D) One is usually subjective when assessing other people’s personality.23. It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that ________.A) people do not reveal their true self on every occasionB) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directlyC) the best way to know a person is by making comparisonsD) face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person24. In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author’s opinion, are ________.A) personal matters that should be seriously dealt withB) barriers that should be done away withC) as significant as disclosures and truthful statementsD) things people should guard against25. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ________.A) to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasionsB) to provide ways of how to obtain information about peopleC) to call the reader’s attention to the negative side of people’s charactersD) to discuss the various aspects of getting to knowpeopleQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently have to make a judgement as to their competitors’ role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major competitors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh II and Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apple’s major competitors.Apple’s new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM-compatible (兼容的) programs. This compatibility feature illustrates computer manufactures’ new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running I BM software is Apple’s effort at making the Mackintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories (附件) to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor’s computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated colorgraphics (图形), whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies’ products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.26. According to the passage, Apple Computer, Inc, has introduced the Mackintosh II and the Mackintosh SE because ________.A) IBM is changing its computer models continuouslyB) it wants to make its machines specialize in specific usesC) it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer marketD) it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example27. Apple hopes to increase Mackintosh sales chiefly by ________.A) making its new models capable of running IBM softwareB) improving the color graphics of its new modelsC) copying the marketing strategies of IBMD) giving the customers what they want28. Apple sells its new computer models at a high price because ________.A) they have new features and functionsB) they are more sophisticated than other modelsC) they have new accessories attachedD) it wants to accumulate funds for future research29. It can be inferred from the passage that both Apple and IBM try to gain a competitive advantage by ________.A) copying each other’s technologyB) incorporating features that make their products distinctiveC) making their computer more expensiveD) making their computers run much faster30. The best title for the passage would be ________.A) Apple’s Efforts to Stay Ahead of IBMB) Apple’s New Computer TechnologyC) Apple’s New personal ComputersD) Apple’s Research ActivitiesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is a curious paradox that we think of the physical sciences as “hard”, the social sciences as “soft”, and the biological sciences as somewhere in between. This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical systems is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are more certain than our knowledge of social systems. In terms of our capacity to sample the relevant universes, however, and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct, one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable. We are able to sample earth’s social systems with some degree of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated. Our knowledge of social systems, therefore, while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate, is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries. Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinary life is based in earning, spending, organizing, marrying, taking part in political activities, fighting and so on, is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived from the social sciences, even though it is built upon the very imperfect samples of personal experience.In contrast, our image of the astronomical universe, of even of earth’s geological history, can easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data comes in and new theories are worked out. If we define the “security” our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order of hardness and see the social sciences as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of theastronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial as compared with the rich records of the social systems, or even the limited records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we see distant things as they were long ago, are limited in the extreme.Even in regard to such a close neighbour as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and highly insecure.31. The word “paradox” (Para. 1, Line 1) means “________”.A) implicationB) contradictionC) interpretationD) confusion32. According to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as “hard” and the social sciences as “soft” because ________.A) a reverse ordering will help promote the development of the physical sciencesB) our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systemsC) our understanding of the social systems is approximately correctD) we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena33. The author believes that our knowledge of social systems is more secure than that of physical systems because ________.A) it is not based on personal experienceB) new discoveries are less likely to occur in social sciencesC) it is based on a fairly representative quantity ofdataD) the records of social systems are more reliable34. The chances of the physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because ________.A) contradictory theories keep emerging all the timeB) new information is constantly coming inC) the direction of their development is difficult to predictD) our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate35. We know less about the astronomical universe than we do about any social system because ________.A) theories of its origin and history are variedB) our knowledge of it is highly insecureC) only a very small sample of it has been observedD) few scientists are involved in the study of astronomy Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following.In the early days of nuclear power, the United States made money on it. But today opponents have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years.The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”(堆内熔化). Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgement to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reacto rs in Japan. But don’t expect them ever on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington.The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a halt while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nice-but-not-necessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case where a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission hasultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New York’s Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-’60s. Millstone, completed for $101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by anti-nuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and delayed its use for many years.Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt of power. Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start-up, used his power to force New Yor k’s public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement; the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant! Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of homes, sits rusting.36. What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A) The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation commission.B) The enormous cost of construction and operation.C) The length of time it takes to make investigations.D) The objection of the opponents of nuclear power.37. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ________.A) it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U.S.B) there are not enough safety measures in the U.S. for running new nuclear power plantsC) there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the U.S.D) the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U.S.38. Any objection, however trivial it may be, can ________.A) force the power companies to cancel the projectB) delay the construction or operation of a nuclear plantC) cause a serious debate within the Nuclear Regulation CommissionD) take the builders to court39. Governor Mario’s chief inten tion in proposing the settlement was to ________.A) stop the Shoreham plant from going into operationB) help the power company to solve its financial problemsC) urge the power company to further increase its power supplyD) permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditions40.

Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar as ours. (71)You may have noticed about how people who live or work (72) closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy these we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s (73) individual way of walking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admired (74) fan;a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employer finds himself duplicating his boss’s habit of wagging (摆动) (75) a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may consciously notice the (76) imitation but he will feel comfortably in its presence. And if he does (77) notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people; they are drawn to them.

technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored theneed for better coordination in organizations. teammanagement provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people,they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occurnaturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can functionmore effectively, but how it integrates with the overallorganization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore,teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group’s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperationprocess within teams, must be organized, promoted andmanaged. he believes that team cooperation results whenmembers go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond whateach is used to being and doing. together, the team may thenproduce something new, unique, and superior to that of anyone member. for this to happen, he suggests that themulticultural managers exhibit understandings of their own andothers’ cultural influences and limitations. they should alsocultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence andpatience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the teamas a whole would be better able to realize their potential andachieve their objectives.问题+答案:16. what should team members do to fully realize theirpotential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17. what needs to be considered for effective teammanagement?b) what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?d) a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight

Q: What does the man mean ? 13.M: I got this in my mailbox today, but I don't know what it is. Do you have any idea?W: Oh, that's your number for the new photocopier. It acqu ires an access code. Everyone got one.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14.W: Jane told me that you'll be leaving at soon. Is it tr ue?M: Yeah, my wife's maternity leave is close to an end. An d since she wants to go back to work, I've decided to ta ke a year off to raise the baby. Q: What does the man m ean? 15M: We'll never find a parking space here.

They want to kno w if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want t o make to East Asia. M: East Asia? uhh…and how much ar e they hoping to get from us?W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don’t k now if they might settle for us.M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in ton gue for as much money as they think they’ll give.M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right? W: It seems s o.M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the i dea. What we get out of it?W: Oh, good publicity I suppose.

W: I know.

Afte r last week's announcement that Phil Collins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, docto rs are counseling stars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillip s, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advi ce would you give to singers facing voice problems?M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really nee d to be more selectiveabout where they work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voices after a show. Something else they ne ed to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords.W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before conc erts to boost their voices when they have voice problems? M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-avail able on the continent and they are useful if a singer has problems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night . But if they are taken regularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from three th ings: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. They have difficult lives. Wh en they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, s inging in smoky places.W: So, what would you advise the singers to do?M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down afte r.Questions 22-25 are based on the conversation you have ju st heard.22. What does last week's announcement say about rock star, Phil Collins?23. What does Paul Philips say about aspirin?24. What does Paul Philips say about young pop singers? 25 . What are the speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question wi ll confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first ro botic parking opens in Chinatown. The technology has been s uccessfully applied overseas, but the only other public robo tic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropp ing vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems .Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are conf ident with the technology and are counting on it to squeez e 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would othe rwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver spac e normally required.A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to dr ive it. Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The dr iver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transp orted to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to newly user s. Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $ 25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of pla nning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the U.S. sub sidiary of a German company. This company has built automat ed garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment build ing.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do we learn about the robot parking in the U.S. so far?27. What advantage does robotic parking have according to t he developers?28. What does the attendant do in the automated garage?29. What does the company say about the parking rate? Passage 2A recent study shows that meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the environment, second onl y to the use of motor vehicles. So how can eating meat h ave a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, always gas limed methane, which is the second most common green house gas a fter carbon dioxide. Manyenvironmental experts now believe that methane is more respo nsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estima ted that 25% of all methane that released into the atmosph ere coming from farm animals. Another way in which meat pr oduction affects the environment is through the use of wate r and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef. While 20 gallons of water are need to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland use to for raising cows can produce 250 pounds of beef. One acr e of farmland use to for crop production can produce 1,500 pounds of tomatoes. Many people now say the benefits of switching to vegetarian diet which excludes meat and fish.Not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutr itionists advise against switching to a totally strict veget arian diet. They believe such a diet which includes no pro ducts from animal sources can be deficient in many of the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Today man y people have come to realize that help the environment an d for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you've just h eard.30. What does the recent study show?31. What do some nutritionists say about the strict vegetar ian diet?32. What does the speaker think more people need to do? Passage 3Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearly nine million America ns alone suffer from the illness. Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between the alcohol addict a nd social drinker. The difference occurs when someone needs to drink. And this need gets in the way of his health or behavior. Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertnes s. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the live r, the brain and other parts of the body. The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobi le accidents. Another problem is that the victim often deni es being an alcohol addict and won’t get help. Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centers help patients cope. Wi thout the assistance, the victim can destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may los e his employment, home or loved ones.All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. The re is no standard for a person with alcoholism. Victims ra nge in age, race, sex and background. Some groups of peopl e are more vulnerable to the illness. People from broken h omes and North American Indians are two examples. People fr om broken homes often lack stable lives. Indians likewise had the traditional life taken from them by white settlers who often encourage them to consume alcohol to prevent them from fighting back. The problem has now beenpassed on. Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. With pro per assistance, victims can put their lives together one da y.Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33. What is the problem of the victims about alcoholism a ccording to the speaker?Q34. Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?Q35. What does the speaker seem to believe about those aff ected by alcoholism?复合式听写Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort o f person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself. If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfath er who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of your self-image are bough t to light —the roles of grandparent, widower and consci entious citizen. But self-image is more than how you pictur e yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three typ es of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation. Conformatio n occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you are.You believe you have leadership a bilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work t eam. On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treatyou in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself defini tion. Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election. He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise—Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept . The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occu rs when others fail to respond to your notion of self by responding neutrally. A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encourag ing remarks. Rather than relying on how others classify you , consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best refection of yourself-image.ce.(注:文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,供参考。

stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored the need for better coordination in organizations. team management provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may notoccur naturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore, teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group ’ s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperation process within teams, must be organized, promoted and managed. he believes that team cooperation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. together, the team may then produce something new, unique, and superior to that of any one member. for this to happen, he suggests that the multicultural managers exhibit understandings of their own and others ’ cultural influences and limitations. they should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.问题 +答案:16.what should team members do to fully realizetheir potential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17.what needs to be considered for effective team management?b)what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?英语六级听力真题及d)a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight success. it was put on

2013年6月六级考试真题答案解析(二)

2013年6月大学英语六级考试真题(二)答案与详解Part ⅠWritingGood Habits Result from Resisting TemptationAs is known to all, good habits help us pave the way to success. However, lack of social experience and determined will, youngsters often fall into the traps of temptations such as computer games, smoking and so on. So it is high time that youngsters refused temptations and formed good habits.Good habits result from refusing temptation and contribute to the growth of youngsters in various ways.Firstly, if youngsters stop such time-and healthconsuming activities as playing computer games and spend the time reading several pages of books every day instead, a good habit of reading will be formed and their academic performance will be greatly improved. Secondly, refusing junk food by eating healthily and regularly, youngsters need not be concerned about their health and body shape. Thirdly, youngsters seem always to be tempted by those who pretend to be “cool” by smoking or drinking. Distancing themselves from these people and making friends with better ones, youngsters themselves will be really cool.Rome was not built in one day. Therefore, determined will and a wise mind should be gradually cultivated so that youngsters can resist various bad temptations and form good habits. Only in this way can they grow happily and achieve success.PartⅡListening Comprehension1.听力原文:W: Wha t’s wrong with your phone.Gary? I tried to call you all nigh t yesterday.M: I’m sorry.
