Questionstoare based on the following passage.
I’ve twice been to college admissions wars, and as I survey the battle field, something different is happening. It’s one upmanship among parents. We see our kids collegeas trophies attesting to how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve contrived variousthat turn out to be haft truths, prejudices or myths.
We have a full blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough trophies to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever.
Underlying the hysteria is the belief that scarcedegrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that’s9and mostly wrong. Selective schools don’t systematically 0 better instructional approaches than less-selective schools. Some do; some don’t. On two measures--professors feedback and the number of essay
exams--selective schools do slightly worse.
By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates lifetime earnings. The gain is reckoned at percent to percent for every 100 point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a1 fluke . A well kno,vn study by Princeton economist Alan Krueger and Stacy Berg Dale of Mathematica Policy Research examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from other schools.
Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may4intelligence, talent and ambition.But it’s not the only indicator and,, its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into co llege isn’t life’s only competition. In the next competition--the job market, graduate school--the results may change. Old boy networks are breaking down. Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the Graduate Record Exam helped explain who got in; Ivy League degrees didn’t.
So, parents, lighten up. The stakes have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we canour pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be4. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study of students0 years out found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective-schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything
less disappoints.

英语六级新题型选词填空练习题及答案
A novel way of making computer memories， using bacteria FOR half a
century，the __________of progress in the computer industry has been to do more with less.Moore’s law famously observes that the number of transistors which can be crammed into a given space __________ every 1months.
The amount of data that can be stored has grown at a similar rate.
Yet as __________ get smaller， making them gets harder and more expensive.
On May 10th Paul Otellini， the boss of Intel，a big American chipmaker， put the price of a new chip factory at around $10 billion.
Happily for those that lack Intel’s resources，there may be a cheaper option—namely to mimic Mother Nature，
who has been building tiny __________， in the form of living cells and their components， for billions of years， and has thus got rather good at it.
A paper published in Small， a nanotechnology journal ，sets out the latest example of the __________.
In it， a group of researchers led by Sarah Staniland at the University of
Leeds， in Britain， describe using naturally occurring proteins to make arrays of tiny magnets，similar to those employed to store information in disk drives.The researchers took their __________ from Magnetospirillum magneticum， a bacterium that is sensitive to the Earth’s magnetic field thanks to t he presence within its cells of flecks of magnetite， a form of iron oxide. Previous work has isolated the protein that makes these miniature compasses. Using genetic engineering， the team managed to persuade a different bacterium—Escherichia coli， a ubiquitous
critter that is a workhorse of biotechnology—to __________ this protein in bulk.
Next，they imprinted a block of gold with a microscopic chessboard pattern of chemicals.
Half the squares contained anchoring points for the protein.
The other half were left untreated as controls. They then dipped the gold into a solution containing the protein， allowing it to bind to the treated squares， and dunked the whole lot into a heated __________ of iron salts.
After that， they examined the results with an electron microscope.
Sure enough，groups of magnetite grains had materialised on the treated squares， shepherded into place by the bacterial protein.
In principle， each of these magnetic domains could store the one or the zero of a bit of information，according to how it was polarised.
Getting from there to a real computer memory would be a long road.
For a start， the grains of magnetite are not
strong enough magnets to make a useful memory， and the size of each domain is huge by modern computing __________.
But Dr Staniland reckons that，with enough tweaking， both of these objections could be dealt with. The __________ of this approach is that it might not be so
capital-intensive as building a fab.
Growing things does not need as much kit as making them.If the tweaking could be done， therefore， the result might give the word biotechnology a whole new meaning.
new meaning.
A) components B) advantage
C) standards D) compliments
E) essence F) inspiration
G) disadvantage H) doubles
I) solution J) resolution
K) devices L) manufacture
M) spirit N) product
O) technique
Nice juicy Apple
ALTHOUGH he is still __________ things up at Dell，an ailing
computer-maker， Carl Icahn has found time to tilt at another tech titan. On August 13th the veteran shareholder activist __________that he had built up a stake in Apple， though he stayed mum about exactly how many shares he had bought. Mr Icahn’s intentions，however，are crystal clear：he wants the consumer-electronics behemoth to expand plans to return some of its whopping $14billion of cash and marketable securities to shareholders.
Mr Icahn is also after more money at Dell， where he has been lobbying with allies against a __________ buy-out plan put forward by Michael Dell， the firm’s founder， and Silver Lake， a private-equity firm. His pressing has already forced the buy-out group to raise its initial offer by over $350m， to $24.billion and he has taken his __________ to the courts in a bid to extract an even higher price.
Other tech firms have been attracting the attention of activist investors too. Earlier this year ValueAct Capital， an investment fund， said it had
built up a $2
billion stake in Microsoft. Jaguar Financial， a Canadian bank， has been __________ fresh thinking at troubled BlackBerry， which announced on August 12th that it is exploring various __________options，including alliances and a possible sale. And Elliott Management， a hedge fund， has been lobbying for change at NetApp， a data-storage firm that it thinks could do more to improve returns to __________.
One reason tech firms have found themselves in activists’ crosshairs is
that，
like Apple， some built up big cash piles during the economic downturn and have been slow to use the money. Financiers hope to get them to loosen their purse-strings faster and to pocket some of the cash. Mr Icahn wants Apple to increase and __________ a share buy-back programme that is currently set to return $60 billion to shareholders by the end of015.
Another reason that tech firms make tempting targets for shareholder activists is that swift changes in technologies can trip up even the mightiest. Witness
the case of Microsoft， which ruled the roost during the personal-computer era but has struggled to adapt to a world in which tablets and smartphones are all the rage. Investors hope to mint money by pushing companies to change more rapidly in response to such upheavals in their markets.
The rewards can be substantial. Egged on by Third Point，an activist hedge fund，Yahoo __________Marissa Mayer as its new chief executive in July012. By the time she celebrated a year in the job last month， the troubled web giant’s share price had risen by over0%. In July the hedge fund sold a big chunk of shares back to Yahoo. Mr Icahn thinks Apple’s share price， which closed at $49on August 14th， could soar too if the firm follows his advice on buy-backs. He tweeted this week that he had had a “nice __________” with Tim Cook， Apple’s boss， about his idea， though he did not say what Mr Cook thought of it. If Apple drags its feet， expect things to turn nasty.
A） shareholders B） strategic
C） communication D） battle
E） conversation F） encouraging
G） exciting H） stirring
I） appointedJ） race
K） revealed L） method
M） accelerate N） proposed
O）
It isn’t just the beer that __________ to beer bellies. It could also be the extra calories， fat and unhealthy eating choices that may come
with __________drinking.
A recent study found that men consume an __________33
calories on days they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. About1% of the caloric increase comes from the alcohol itself. Men also report eating higher amounts of saturated fats and meat， and less fruit and milk，on those days than on days when they aren’t drinking，the study showed.
Women fared a bit better， taking in an extra00 calories on moderate-drinking days， from the alcohol and eating fattier foods. But women’s increase in c alories from additional eating wasn’t statistically significant， the study said.
‘Men and women ate less healthily on days they drank alcohol，’ said Rosalind Breslow，an epidemiologist with the federal National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and lead author of the study. ‘Poorer food choices on drinking days have public-health __________，’ she said.
The findings dovetail with controlled lab studies in which __________ generally eat more food after consuming alcohol. Researchers suggest that alcohol may enhance ‘the short-term rewarding effects’ of consuming
food， according to a010 report in the journal Physiology & Behavior that reviewed previous studies on alcohol， appetite and obesity.
But other studies have pointed to a different trend. Moderate drinkers gain less weight over time than either heavy drinkers or people who abstain from alcohol， particularly women， this research has shown. Moderate drinking is __________having about two drinks a day for men and one for wome n. ‘People who gain the least weight are moderate drinkers，regardless of
[alcoholic] beverage choice，’ said Eric Rimm，an associate professor of
epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the010 review of alcohol in the federal dietary __________. The weight-gain difference is modest，and ‘starting to drink is not a weight-loss diet，’ he said. The various research efforts form part of a long-standing __________ about how alcohol affects people’s appetites， weight and overall health. Researchers say there aren’t simple answers，and suggest that individuals’ metabolism，drinking patterns and gender may play a role.
Alcohol is ‘a real wild card when it comes to weight management，’ said Karen Miller-Kovach， chief scientific officer of Weight Watchers International. At seven calories per gram， alcohol is closer to fat than to carbohydrate or protein in caloric content，she said. Alcohol tends to lower restraint， she notes，causing a person to become more __________ with what they’re eating.
Research bolstering the role of moderate drinking in helping to control weight gain was published in00in
the journal Obesity Research. That study followed
nearly0，000 women over eight years. An earlier study，published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1994， followed more than，000 people for 10 years and found that moderate drinkers gained less weight than nondrinkers. Studies comparing changes in waist circumference among different groups have yielded similar results.
Dr. Rimm said it isn’t clear why moderate drinking may be __________ against typical weight gain，but it could have to do with metabolic adjustments. After people drink alcohol， their heart rate increases so they burn more calories in the following hour.
‘It’s a modest amount，’ he said. ‘But if you take an individual that eats 100 calories instead of a glass of wine， the person drinking the glass of wine will have a slight increase in the amount of calories burned.’

The poll was seen as vindication from the community of UFO researchers who often feel they are laughed off by government officials.

If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school, however, has no such choice, for the job must be on at the same time. Because we depend soupon science and technology for our progress, we must produce in many
fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, tothe work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance isby too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and knowledge. The attention of the public isdrawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.

Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients of
pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.
Times have changed. Today, we take pain . indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in person?s well-being. We know that chronic pain can disrupt a person?s life, causing problems that now depend upon physicians who in pain medicine. Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social to chronic pain. Such comprehensive therapy often the work of social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.
for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only aof drugs available, and many of them caused side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other
problems that could be worse than the pain itself.

2017年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案第1套选词填空 After becoming president of Purdue University in2013, Mitch Daniels asked the faculty to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals: critical thinking skills.

大学英语四级阅读：选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章，文章中挖出10个空，并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空，有更大的解题难度，原因在于： 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一，选词填空第一题要十五选一，就算用到排除法，最后一题也要六选一，而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到，难度加大； 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性，只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答，而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性，解题时需要同时判断词性和词义，难度加大； 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态，统一形式，而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态，名词的单复数等的辨析，难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项，了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性：名词n，动词v，形容词a，副词ad，在每个选项后作词性的简要标记； 2. 精读全文开头，把握文章主题，并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位，利用前后文判 断每空的词性； 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文，含义通顺，时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时，一些经常考察的形式如下： 名词：通常来说，冠词(如a，an，the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词，即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。"， 举例说明：Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式，正确答案是nightmare，这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词，正确答案是strength，这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候，海洋温度上升，导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子：Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法，用句子结构来判断，前面一句话，husbands and children now do some of these jobs，这是一个完整的句子，主语husbands and children，谓语动词do，宾语some of these jobs；后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句，它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词，而定语从句的中心词是名词，所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法，根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断，横线处应该填一个名词，而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了，这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词：动词的考点很多，我们来看其中三种： 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明：He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里，主语是he，本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语，但是这里没有动词，而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers，这样这句话就缺少谓语动词，所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid，这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师，

A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events 1 , depending on whether they are in the past or future. The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler Effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their 2 is travelling towards or away from you. Mr. Caruso argues that something similar happens with people 's perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as 3 , something happening in one month feels psychologically 4 than something that happened a month ago. This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 5 and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine 's day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a 6 of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans-were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already 7 it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to 8 the distance of hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry ( 不对称) remained.

英语六级新题型选词填空练习题及答案 A novel way of making computer memories，using bacteria FOR half a century，the（1）__________of progress in the computer industry has been to do more with less.Moore's law famously observes that the number of transistors which can be crammed into a given space（2）__________ every 18 months. The amount of data that can be stored has grown at a similar rate. Yet as（3）__________ get smaller，making them gets harder and more expensive. On May 10th Paul Otellini，the boss of Intel，a big American chipmaker，put the price of a new chip factory at around $10 billion. Happily for those that lack Intel's resources，there may be a cheaper option—namely to mimic Mother Nature， who has been building tiny（4）__________，in the form of living cells and their components，for billions of years，and has thus got rather good at it. A paper published in Small，a nanotechnology journal，sets out the latest example of the（5）__________. In it，a group of researchers led by Sarah Staniland at the University of Leeds，in Britain，describe using naturally occurring proteins to make arrays of tiny magnets，similar to those employed to store information in disk drives.The researchers took their（6）__________ from Magnetospirillum magneticum，a bacterium that is sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field thanks to the presence within its cells of flecks of magnetite，a form of iron oxide. Previous work has isolated the protein that makes these miniature compasses. Using genetic engineering，the team managed to persuade a different bacterium—Escherichia coli，a ubiquitous critter that is a workhorse of biotechnology—to（7）__________ this protein in bulk. Next，they imprinted a block of gold with a microscopic chessboard pattern of chemicals. Half the squares contained anchoring points for the protein. The other half were left untreated as controls. They then dipped the gold into a solution containing the protein，allowing it to bind to the treated squares，and dunked the whole lot into a heated（8）__________ of iron salts. After that，they examined the results with an electron microscope. Sure enough，groups of magnetite grains had materialised on the treated squares，shepherded into place by the bacterial protein. In principle，each of these magnetic domains could store the one or the zero of a bit of information，according to how it was polarised.
2019 年 6 月英语六级选词填空答案【已公布】第一套： 选词填空 26. D) enabling 解析：因为该空之后是名词human可能会被误认为需要填形容词，但是之前的and提醒我们要注意整个并列结构。根据之前的is bringing ，能够推出该空需要填动词，再加上之后的to live on 以及文意，能够推出应该使用enabling 。 27. H) generously 解析：该空之前和之后都是动词，所以只有可能填副词，又因为之前的句子中有一个this entrepreneur has 做定语从句在修饰fortune, 基本能够确定副词在修饰comes而不是has,再根据文意，该公司的财富绝大部分来自的是实际的成就，故选择generously 。 28. N) terrified 解析：该空之前是are，之后是一个介词about，能够推出该空需要填形容词,再看到后半句的fear ,能够推出整句话都是负面的感情,故选择terrified 。
L) smart 解析：该空处于一个搭配so+adj. 或adv.+that （如此... 以至于）之中，能够推出需要填的是形容词或者副词，再加上文意推出，人类害怕机器人太聪明而谋杀人类，选择smart 。 I） misleading 解析：该空之前出现一个副词，且之前还有动词are ，能够推理出来应 该填入形容词。而之后说人类有水平去处理机器人的问题，说明之前的担心是错误的，故选用misleading 。 31. E） eventually 解析：该空处于两个动词之间，且有双逗号隔开，能够推出使用副词。而整个答案之中只有两个副词，eventually 和generously （之前已选），故选择eventually 。而从文意中也能够理解：最终，拥有机器人就像是拥有一个兼具保姆和护士功能的机器。 A）amassed 解析：该空处于名词之前，能够推出使用形容词。根据文意，机器人 有护士和保姆的功能所需要的智能可能会超过Musk设想的机器，故选 择amassed （慢慢聚集的）。
