Passage 1
Getting behind the wheel of a car can be an exciting new step in a teen’s life.

In an effort to spread awareness to teens across the nation, the Allstate Foundation (2) _____ a Keep-The-Drive Summit at Sunset Station on January 23rd. Students from Kennedy and Alamo Heights High schools participated in the summit which was held here for the first time. The goal of the year-long effort is to educate teens on the rules of safe driving and the severe (3) _____ that can result if those rules are not followed, and then have them communicate that information to their peers. The students watched videos that told them about the numbers of teenage driving (4) _____ and deaths. They listened to the videos as studnets from other cities shared their stories of how their (5) _____ driving affected not only their lives but also those of their passengers “We are trying to create awareness in high schools across the country,”said Westerman, an Allstate (6) _____. “We focus on changing how teens think behind the wheel.”According to the presentation, more teens die in automobile crashes in the United States each year than from drugs, (7) _____, smoking and suicide.

Passage 2
Many days seem to bring (1) _____ tasks and responsibilities, all of which apparently must be tackled right away. You spend a day putting out fires, but by the end of the day, you haven’t (2) _____ any of the really important things you set out to do. In desperation, you draft a “to-do” list. But most days, you can make little progress with it. When you look at the list each morning, a big fat cloud of (3) _____ is right at the top – those difficult, (4) _____, important tasks that are so (5) _____ to get done and so easy to avoid. Plenty of us create a “to-do” list to address feelings of being (6) _____, but we rarely use these tools to their best effect. They wind up being guilt-provoking reminders of the fact that we are over-committed, and losing control of our (7) _____. According to Timothy Pikle, a professor of psychology at Carlton University in Ottawa, people often draw up a “to-do” list and then that’t it. The list itself becomes the day’s (8) _____, allowing us to feel we’ve done something useful without taking on any real work. In fact, drawing up the list becomes a way of avoiding the work itself. “Too often, the list is seen as the accomplishment for the day, reducing the immediate guilt of not working on the tasks at hand by investing energy in the list,” says Pikle, “when a list is used like this, it’s simply another way in
which we lie to ourselves.”

Passage 3
It seems to me that neighbors are going out of style in America. The friend next door from whom you borrowed four eggs or a ladder has moved and the people in there now are strangers.
Some of the (1) _____ stories of neighborliness are (2) _____ or silly, and it may be just as well that our relations with our neighbors are changing. The saying in the Bible “Love Thy Neighbor”was probably a poor translation of what must have (3) _____ been “Respect Thy Neighbor.” Love can’t be called up on order. Fewer than half the people in the United States live in the same house they lived in five years ago, so there’s no reason to love the people who live next door to you just because they happened to (4) _____ into a real estate office that listed the place next door to yours. The only thing neighbors have in common, to begin with, is (5) _____, and unless something more develops, that isn’t reason enough to be best friends. It sometimes happens (6) _____, but the chances are very small that your neighbors will be your choice as friends. Or that you will be theirs, either.
The best relationship with neighbors is one of friendly distance. You say hello, you small-talk if you see them in the yard, you discuss problems as they arise and you help each other in an (7) _____. The driveway or the fence between you is not really a cold shoulder, but a clear (8) _____. We all like clearly-defined boundaries for ourselves.

Passage 4
I’m interested in the (1) _____ justice system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done, if we’re to (2) _____ as a country. I certainly don’t know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get (3) _____ in a hurry when you get into them, but I wonder if something couldn’t be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I’m concerned about is our practice of putting (4) _____ in jail who haven’t harmed anyone. Why not work out some
system whereby they can pay back the debts they owe society instead of (5) _____ another debt by going to prison and, of course, coming under the influence of hardened criminals. I’m also concerned about the short prison sentences people are serving for serious crimes. Of course one (6) _____ to this is to restore capital punishment, but I’m not sure I would be for that. I’m not sure it’s right to take an eye for an eye. The alternative to capital punishment is longer sentences, but they would certainly cost the tax payers much money. I also think we must do something about the insanity plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person’s life intentionally is (7) _____; however, that does not mean that the person isn’t (8) _____ of the crime, or that he shouldn’t pay society the debt he owes. It’s sad, of course, that a person may have to spend the rest of his life, or
a large part of it in prison for acts that he committed while not in full control of his mind.

Passage 5
If you’re like most people, you’ve (1) _____ in fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit in the third row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away, (2) _____ in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth: the instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you dutifully copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a witty remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely, (3) _____ that you’ve heard the remark and found it mildly (4) _____. You have a vague sense of guilt that you aren’t paying close attention, but you tell yourself that any material you miss can be picked up from a friend’s notes. Besides, the instructor’s talking about road (5) _____in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more boring. So back you go into your private little world. Only later do you realize you’ve missed important information for a test.
Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers are (6) _____ to facial cues and can tell if you’re (7) _____ pretending to listen. Your blank expression and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that betray your inattentiveness.
Even if you’re not exposed, there’s another reason to avoid fakery: it’s easy for this behavior to become a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they automatically start daydreaming when a speaker begin talking on something complex or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots of (8) _____ information.

作文 作文的的原则是无错，一篇文章，如果你出现了3处严重语法错误，那么你就不能得到一个高于8分的分数。 另外，从句不会给你加分，你要做的是写出有变化的句子。 行文有两种格式，一种是缩进式，另一种是齐头式。吴泽阳老师建议大家使用齐头式，段与段之间空一行，好让老师看清楚你有几段。特别注意，作文一定不能少于等于两端。 对于以前只能考400分以下的同学，背万能句是必须的。有一句句子非常之牛逼：to be or not to be? that's a question.(by W. William Shakespeare 1564～1616)。要知道，作文中数字和人名最能引起人的注意，你甚至可以把人名写的大一点。 作文种类分为以下几种，图表，名人名言，正反观点，现象。相应的例文网上有很多，把相关的万能句背一下。 一般作文的顺序是：审题，确定每段写什么——决定套用模板——列换词表——行文——复查。比如说一篇说难找工作的文章，换词表就是students，young man，graduate之类意思略微不同但能作互相指代的词。复查主要是复查时态和单复数，80%的语病都是这类问题。 行文的技巧主要是句式的变换。一共有五种方法：加法句，减法句，副词法，被动法，换而言之。加法句就是逗号和and，减法句就是but，使用被动法是因为更符合傻老外的习惯，换而言之就是in other words，然后再把刚才的话说一遍，当然，要稍作变化。副词法就是Obviously之类。 最后特别注意，当你论述的时候，一定要使用逻辑词。firstly，secondly……英语文章，没有逻辑词就没有逻辑。 阅读 阅读肯定不用看文章。 快速阅读的顺序是：看题干，划出名词，回原文定位找答案。深度阅读也是一样。划名词是因为，动词和副词的同义词很多，完全可以替换，但是名词相对而言比较单一，不会有太多的变化。如果名词被替换，放心，没多少人能找到。回原文定位的时候要注意，最高级和极端词对应，时间地点状语对应。我就不一一举例了，自己联系几篇阅读就会抓准这个规律。当时我也只是用了一节课的时间久掌握了阅读。我阅读是215分，得分率86%。 相对而言，深度阅读还有另一个潜规则，就是深度阅读的题目，除了“作者想什么”“文章标题是啥”这类的题目以外，其它的题目串起来，就是一篇文章的主旨，由此推之，如果文章超过4段，那么在一段中出两个题目的可能性很小，这样我们就可以以此为依据做题。如果你选择了一个和主旨不相干的答案，那么你肯定错了。 奉劝各位一定要牢牢抓住阅读的分数，因为每个题都有近2%的分值。最主要的是，你

We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity(肥胖).

Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation’s food has come to be 5 by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs.

六级英语阅读理解提高技巧分享六级英语阅读理解提高技巧分享 (一)SectionA选词填空题 1、阅读过程中讯速浏览全文，了解文章主题; 2、阅读15个选项，将单词分为名词、动词、形容词、副词四种类型(按最原始的意思分，一般形容词和副词较多); 3、根据语法特征确定所填词性; 4、根据上下文逻辑确定所填词义。 (二)SectionB信息匹配题 1、阅读文后十道题，标记关键词; 2、含最优关键词(数词、时间、专有名词)的题先行匹配; 3、剩余题进行匹配，注意有时两题会对应同一段。 最理想的情况是：我们依靠所划的关键词迅速定位到信息所在的段落，从而得到答案。这就要求我们所划的关键词是独一无二的，它只出现在原文的某一个段落。那么什么样的词才有这个特点呢? 关键词通常分为两类：第一类是表时间、数字及首字母大写的人名地名等专有名词;第二类是比较长，比较复杂的名词;这里切记，不能用表达中心思想的主题词去定位，因为文章通篇讲的都是它。 由于问题顺序和文章行文顺序一致，所以先做第一小题，然后做第二小题，看一道，做一道。千万不要把文章全部看完后再做题，或者全部题目看完后再读文章。
在将题目和文章比对的同时，要善于学会精读重点信息。比如，文中举例处，引语及多个名词并列而不是完整句子的内容，均可略读。 此外，要多关注文中的逻辑关系词，对于这些词的把握，有助于我们精确把握重要信息。通常要注意下面三种逻辑关系： (1)并列、递进关系：and，or，besides，furthermore， what’smore，then，inaddition，moreover，inotherwords; (2)因果关系：asaresultof，onaccountof，asaresult，thanksto，therefore，hence，consequently，because，for，dueto，owingto; (3)转折关系：whereas，however，but，nevertheless，yet，infact; 最后，要学会运用特殊的标点符号，比如冒号，破折号，小括号。这些标点符号的出现就是对前面的内容作进一步的说明。所以，在 阅读文章时，可以跳读这些标点符号后面的信息，从而帮助我们节 省更多宝贵的时间并且更加快速地把握文章的主旨。 (二)SectionC仔细阅读题 1、利用文章主题或全文核心词提示答案; 2、利用定位句上下文重复描述的内容确定答案; 因为在仔细阅读题中主旨题与态度题经常会涉及到而且占了很大比重，所以现在重点介绍一下主旨题和态度题。 主旨题：阅读首末段以及各段首句，尤其注意首末段的转折句; 综合全文的核心名词词组，这种词也常在各段首句出现;第三种：阅 读五道题的题干，综合共同的名词词组。错误答案一般设计为文中 的细节，若仅仅是某一段的主题。正确答案一般具有模糊化、概括 化的特点，往往是最短的或者第二短的那个选项。 态度题：题中含有opinion,view,attitude或 consider,deem,thinkof等词;

Typical menus of Chinese banquetinclude cold dishes to start and the following hot ones. For example，meat, chicken, duck and vegetables. In most banquets, a whole fish dish is considered indispensable, unless various kinds of seafood have been served. Nowadays, Chinese people tend to mix Western specials with traditional Chinese cuisine. Thus, steak is not rare. Traditionally，although the Chinese do not eat any of theuncooked dishes，salads have also become popular. The banquet usually has at leasta bowl of soup that can be offered as the first or the final dish. Desserts and fruits usually mean the end of the feast. 城市化 2020年是中国城市化进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。在未来20年里，预计约有3.5亿农村人口将移居到城市。如此规模的城市发张对城市交通来说既是挑战，也是机遇。中国政府一直提倡“以人为本”的发张理念。强调人们以公交而不是私家车出行。它还号召建设“资源节约和环境友好型”社会。有了这个明确的目标，中国城市就能够更好地规划其发展，并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。 2020 was a historic moment in the process of urbanization in China as its population exceeded the rural population for the first time.

大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案 第一篇 A scientific panel convened by the World Health Organization recommended guidelines on Friday for doctors conducting clinical studies of SARS patients. The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year’s epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed. “It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review,” said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the two-day meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and compounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. “We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways.” He said. In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions—generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations—have made it hard to interpret results. Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators（呼吸器）to help patients breathe, is the mainstay（主要支持）of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties. Dr. Mardel said. One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. “There is a lack of shared information,” Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published. The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to complete. The world Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations. 1. Guidelines recommended by the scientific panel can be used for _____. A. gathering potentially useful information about various therapies collected B. conducting clinical studies of SARS patients C. determining treatment for SARS D. publishing all the information about SARS

Reading Comprehension for CET 6 Passage 1 In the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia,one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men looting a sabotaged train.One of the looters,Chief Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat clan,suddenly notices the camera and snatches it.Am I in this?he asks,before smashing it open.To the dismayed reporter,Lawrence explains,He thinks these things will steal his virtue.He thinks you're a kind of thief. As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into distant lands,stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic.The ignorant natives may have had a point.When photography first became available,scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts.But in some ways,anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.Up into the 1950s and 1960s,many ethnographers sought pure pictures of primitive cultures,routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western dress.They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties,often with little regard for veracity.Edward Curtis,the legendary photographer of North American Indians,for example,got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915--even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation. These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated,primitive,and unchanging.For instance,National Geographic magazine's photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures.As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic,the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don't challenge white,middle-class American conventions.While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops,for example,white women's breasts are taboo.Photos that could unsettle or disturb,such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine,are discarded in favor of those that reassure,to conform with the society's stated pledge to present only kindly visions of foreign societies.The result,Lutz and Collins say,is the depiction of an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict. Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot.She read the magazine as a child,and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career.She just thinks that as people look at the photographs of other cultures,they should be alert to the choice of composition and images. 1.The main idea of the passage is______________. [A]Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values. [B]There is a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples. [C]Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales.
