大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）-试卷220(总分：60.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 Reading Comprehension(总题数：6，分数：60.00)1.Part III Reading Comprehension（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________解析：2.Section C（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________解析：International governments' inaction concerning sustainable development is clearly worrying but the proactive (主动出击的) approaches of some leading-edge companies are encouraging. Toyota, Wal-Mart, DuPont, M&S and General Electric have made tackling environmental wastes a key economic driver. DuPont committed itself to a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the 10 years prior to 2010. By 2007, DuPont was saving $2.2 billion a year through energy efficiency, the same as its total declared profits that year. General Electric aims to reduce the energy intensity of its operations by 50% by 2015. They have invested heavily in projects designed to change the way of using and conserving energy. Companies like Toyota and Wal-Mart are not committing to environmental goals out of the goodness of their hearts. The reason for their actions is a simple yet powerful realization that the environmental and economic footprints fit well together. When M&S launched its "Plan A" sustainability programme in 2007 , it was believed that it would cost over ￡200 million in the first five years. However, the initiative had generated ￡105 million by 2011/12. When we prevent physical waste, increase energy efficiency or improve resource productivity, we save money, improve profitability and enhance competitiveness. In fact, there are often huge "quick win" opportunities, thanks to years of neglect. However, there is a considerable gap between leading-edge companies and the rest of the pack. There are far too many companies still delaying creating a lean and green business system, arguing that it will cost money or require sizable capital investments. They remain stuck in the "environment is cost" mentality. Being environmentally friendly does not have to cost money. In fact, going beyond compliance saves cost at the same time that it generates cash, provided that management adopts the new lean and green model. Lean means doing more with less. Nonetheless, in most companies, economic and environmental continuous improvement is viewed as being in conflict with each other. This is one of the biggest opportunities missed across most industries. The size of the opportunity is enormous. The 3% Report recently published by World Wildlife Fund and CDP shows that the economic prize for curbing carbon emissions in the US economy is $780 billion between now and 2020. It suggests that one of the biggest levers for delivering this opportunity is "increased efficiency through management and behavioral change" in other words, leanand green management. Some 50 studies show that companies that commit to such aspirational goals as zero waste, zero harmful emissions and zero use of non-renewable resources are financially outperforming their competitors. Conversely, it was found that climate disruption is already costing $1.2 trillion annually, cutting global GDP by 1. 6%. Unaddressed, this will double by 2030.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author say about some leading-edge companies?（分数：2.00）A.They operate in accordance with government policies.B.They take initiatives in handling environmental wastes. √C.They are key drivers in their nations' economic growth.D.They are major contributors to environmental problems.解析：解析：细节题。

听力原文：Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century.(3)Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators(4)after an attempt to sell the business for a token ￡1 failed.

Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers. Many of the store group’s 25 000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3.

What do we learn about the storm system from the news report?1．A．The effects of floods in the U.S.B．A heavy storm system struck the U.S.C．U.S. states were facing floods threats.D．Tornadoes destroyed homes in the U.S.正确答案：C解析：新闻开门见山提出主旨：美国16个州正面临洪水危机(under a flood warning)，紧接着介绍暴风雨引发的一系列美国洪灾。

因此新闻主旨就是“美国正面临洪灾危机”。

C正确。

A“美国洪灾的影响”只在新闻结尾提到，是部分内容，并非主旨。

B“一次严重暴风雨袭击美国”虽然有在新闻中提到，但这只是说明美国洪灾的起因，而不是主要内容。

D错在Tornadoes，新闻说的是洪灾(flood)，而非卷风。

知识模块：听力2．A．It came in early December.B．It ended in Michigan.C．It destroyed buildings near Memphis.D．It caused dozens of deaths.正确答案：D解析：新闻中提到，数十人死于这场暴雨带来的恶劣条件中(dozens of people died)，故D正确。

A“起于十二月初”与新闻说的“十二月末”(late December)不符。

B“终止于密歇根州”，新闻是说该暴雨从新墨西哥到密歇根再一路向东(stretching from New Mexico to Michigan and going its way east)，所以并非在密歇根州结束。

仔细阅读(一)It is hard to predict howscience is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossibleto predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definitionunknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either havescience or you don't, and if you have it you are obliged to accept thesurprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat andpromptly useful bits.The only solid piece ofscientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundlyignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the pasthundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating (启发) piece of news.It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment (启蒙运动) to be told byany of us how little we know and how bewildering (迷惑) seems the wayahead. It is this sudden confrontation (对抗) with the depth and scopeof ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th centuryscience to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended tounderstand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up storiesto fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are gettingglimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered.Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you aretotally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality ofignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no truelight at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making abeginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably noquestions we can think up that can't be answered, sooner or later, includingeven the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions wecan't think up, ever, and therefore limitsto the reach of human intellect, butthat is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our waythrough to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.1. It can be inferred from the passage thatscientists of the 18th century .A) thought that they knew a great deal andcould solve most problems of scienceB) wereafraid of facing up to the realities of scientific researchC) knew thatthey were ignorant and wanted to know more about natureD) did moreharm than good in promoting man's understanding of nature2. According to the author, really good science_______ .A) wouldsurprise the brightest minds of the 18th century EnlightenmentB) will produce results which cannot be foreseenC) will helppeople to make the right choice in advanceD) will bring about disturbing results3. Which of thefollowing statemcnts is NOT true of scientists in earlier times?A) Theyinvented false theories to explain things they didn't understand.B) Theyfalsely claimed to know all about nature.C) They didnot believe in results from scientific observation.D) They paidlittle attention to the problems they didn't understand.4. The authorbelieves that ______ .A) man canfind solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can think upB) man can not solve all the problems he canthink up because of the limits of human intellectC) sooner or later man canthink up all the questions concerning nature and answer themD)questions concerningconsciousness are outside the scope of scientific research5. What is theauthor's attitude towards science?A) He isdepressed because of the ignorance of scientists.B) He isdoubtful because of the enormous difficulties confronting it.C) He is confidentthough he is aware of the enormous difficulties confronting it.D) He is delighted because of theilluminating scientific findings.1.A 推理题，答题依据在本文第2段前半部分。
