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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Chemistry did not emerge as a science until after the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century and then only rather slowly and laboriously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history, being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process; so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs and potions. This basic chemical knowledge, which was applied in most cases as a rule of thumb, was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity about the processes themselves. New information was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results.The development of a scientific approach to chemistry was, however, hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and the consequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition, there were social and intellectual difficulties, chemistry is nothing if not practical; those who practice it must use their hands, they must have a certain practical flair. Yet in many ancient civilizations, practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world, where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content or interest. The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to prevent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy was the esoteric nature of the knowledge of alchemists, who were trying to transform base metals into gold or were concerned with the hunt for the elixir that would bestow the blessing of eternal life. In one sense, the second of these was the more serious impediment because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure.21. What is the passage mainly about?A) The scientific revolution in the seventeenth century.B) Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a science.C) The practical aspects of chemistry.D) Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically.22. According to the passage, how did knowledge about chemical processes increase before the seventeenth century?A) Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties.B) A special symbolic language was developed.C) Experience led workers to revise their techniques.D) Experts shared their discoveries with the public.23. The bold word "hampered" in Line 1 Para 2 is closest in meaning to____.A) recognized B) determinedC) solved D) hindered24. The bold word "it" refers to which of the following?A) Problem. B) Material.C) Difficulty. D) System.25. Which of the following statements best explains why "the second of these was the more serious impediment" (Underlined)?A) Chemical knowledge was limited to a small number of people.B) The symbolic language used was very imprecise.C) Very few new discoveries were made by alchemists.D) The records of the chemical processes were not based on experiments. Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum a dark, thick ooze from the earth had been known for hundreds of years, but little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850's Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local scapages and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, are tired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it "Drake's Folly". But when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.News of Drake's success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860's these wildcatters were drilling for "black gold" all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880's and 1890's refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heatingoil.26.What is the best title for the passage?A) Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB) The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC) Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD) Kerosene Lamps: A Light in the Tunnel27.It can be inferred form the passage that kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too____.A) expensive B) thickC) hot D) polluted28.According to the passage, many people initially thought that E. L. Drake had madea mistake by____.A) going on a whaling expeditionB) moving to PennsylvaniaC) searching for oilD) retiring from his job29.Why does the author mention the California gold rush?A) To explain the need for an increased supply of goldB) To indicate the extent of United States mineral wealthC) To describe the mood when oil was first discoveredD) To argue that gold was more valuable than oil30. Which of the following words could best replace the word "one" (Underlined)?A) Oil. B) Door.C) Store. D) Product.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:"Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major credit cards are accepted!"By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses 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 US 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 US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, 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 bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA 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 US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans' four nights and $298.31. 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 afford32.The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that ____.A) it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the USB) it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the USC) tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the US dollar that yearD) Tourists came to the US for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year33.By saying " nobody undersells America" (Underlined), 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 than America34.Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners?A) Because they have gained much publicity through the American mediaB) Because they represent the world' s latest fashionsC) Because they embody the most sophisticated technologyD)Because they are available at all tourist destinations35.From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize____.A) the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficitsB) the lower the retail prices, the greater in profitsC) tourism can make great contributions to its economyD) visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroadPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970's was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in 1960s, but it was in the 1970's, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation. As well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston's eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking.Butler Square, in Minneapois, examplifies major changes in its complex of offices,commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights. San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio's leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district.36. What is the main idea of the passage?A) During the 1970's, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modern use.B) Recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers.C) The San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the way to fight urban decay.D) Strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Boston.37. What is the space at Quincy Market now used for?A) Boston' s new city hall.B) Sports and recreational facilities.C) Commercial and industrial warehouses.D) Restaurant, offices, and stores.38. According to the passage, Benjamin Thompson was the designer for a project in____.A) San Francisco B) BostonC) Minneapolis D) San Antonio39. When was the Butler Square building originally built?A) In the eighteenth century.B) In the early nineteenth century.C) In the late nineteenth century.D) In the early twentieth century.40. What is the author's opinion of the San Antonio project?A) It is clearly the best of the projects discussed.B) It is a good project that could be copied in other cities.C) The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.D) The work done on the river was more important than the work done on the buildings.

He also proved that atoms exist and figured out that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. To top it all off, he developed his famous equation E=mc<上标>c, which describes the relationship between matter and energy, the same year. He was only 26 years old.Without a doubt, Einstein was a genius. So was Isaac Newton-as any fan of "Star Trek". The Next Generation can say he invented physics. He also played a big role in the development of calculus, which some people have trouble comprehending even after extensive classroom study. Another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, started composing music when he was 5 years old. Mozart wrote hundreds of pieces before his death in 1760 at age 35.According to conventional wisdom, geniuses are different from everyone else. They can think faster and better than other people, In addition, many people think that all that extra brainpower leads to eccentric or quirky behavior. And although geniuses are fairly easy to spot, defining exactly what makes one person a genius is a little trickier. Figuring out how that person became a genius is harder still.There are two big things that make it difficult to study genius:The genius label is subjective. Some people insist that anyone with an intelligence quotient (IQ) higher than a certain value is a genius. Others feel that IQ tests measure only a limited part of a person's total intelligence. Some believe high test scores have little to do with real genius.Genius is a big-picture concept. Most scientific and medical inquiries, on the other band, examine de tails. A concept as subjective as genius isn't easy to quantify, analyze or study.So, when exploring how geniuses work, it's a good idea to start by defining precisely what a genius is. For the purpose of this article, a genius isn't simply someone with an exceptionally high IQ. Instead, a genius is an extraordinarily intelligent person who breaks new ground with discoveries, inventions or works of art. Usually, a genius' work changes the way people view the world or the field in which the work took place. In other words, a genius must be both intelligent and able to use that intelligence in a productive or impressive way.Genius and the BrainThe brain regulates the body's organ systems. When a person moves around, it sends impulses along the nerves and tells the muscles what to do. The brain controls the senses of smell, taste, touch, sight and hearing, and the person experiences and processes emotions using his brain, On top of all that, the brain allows people to think, analyze information and solve problems. But how does it make someone smart?Scientists haven't figured out exactly how all the gray matter in the brain works, but they do have an idea of which part lets people think. The cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), which is the outermost part of the brain, is where thought and reasoning happen. These are the brain's higher function-- the lower functions, which relate to basic survival, take place deeper in the brain.The cerebral cortex is the largest part of the brain, and it's full of wrinkles and folds that allow it to fit in theskull. If an adult human's cerebral cortex is removed and stretched out, it would be about as large as a few pages of a newspaper. It's divided into several lobes(裂片), and different regions within these lobes handle specific tasks related to how people think.In spite of all those challenges to see the brain inside and how it works, researchers have figured out a few things about how the brain affects intelligence. A 2004 study at the University of California, Irvine found that the volume of gray matter in parts of the cerebral cortex had a greater impact on intelligence than the brain's total volume. The findings suggest that the physical attributes of many parts of the brain--rather than a centralized "intelligence center" --determine how smart a person is.Genius and IntelligenceLike genius, intelligence can be difficult to quantify. Psychologists and neuroscientists study intelligence extensively. An entire field of study, known as psychometrics, is devoted to studying and measuring intelligence. But even within that field, experts don't always agree on exactly what it is or how best to analyze it. And while intelligence is central to genius, not all geniuses score well on intelligence tests or perform well in school.Intelligence testing has existed for thousands of years. The tests we know as IQ tests got their start near the end of the 19th century. Today, IQ tests generally measure a person's memory as well as language, spatial and mathematical abilities.IQ tests are also standardized so that most people score between 90 and 110. When placed on a graph, the IQ test scores of a large group of people will generally resemble a bell curve, with most people scoring in the average range. A common perception is that anyone scoring above a certain number--often 140--is automatically a genius. But in spite of the existence of high-IQ organizations, many scientists caution that there is no such thing as a genius-level IQ.Many educators and researchers feel that, in general, standardized IQ tests do a good job of predicting how well a child will perform in school. Schools often use these tests to determine which children to place in gifted or special education classes. Most colleges and universities and some employers also use standardized tests as part of their application processes.Intelligence and AdjustmentOne of the stereotypes surrounding gifted children is that they have trouble fitting in at school. Several scientific studies suggest that the stereotype has a foundation in reality. A Purdue University study of 423 gifted students suggested that they were susceptible to bullying. A 20-year study of gifted children ending in 1940 suggested that the trend of not fitting in continues into adulthood. The study used a test that measured both verbal intelligence and personal adjustment. People who scored above 140 in verbal intelligence generally had lower personal adjustment scores.However, in spite of their prevalence, these tests are not foolproof. In general, some minorities and people with lower income levels tend to score lower than people from other racial and economic groups. Critics contend that this makes IQ tests invalid or unfair. Others argue that they instead point out unfair ness and prejudice within a society.In addition, some researchers and theorists argue that the IQ test is too limiting and doesn't really give a full view of a person's intelligence. These researchers feel that intelligence is a combination of many factors. Creativity and GeniusGeniuses like Einstein are also known for their creativity and productivity--and sometimes for their quirky behavior.There's a big difference between being really smart and being a genius. While geniuses tend to be exceptionally intelligent, they also use imagination and creativity to invent, discover or create something new within their field of interest. They break now ground rather than simply remembering or reciting existing information.The creativity of geniuses also relates to productivity and hard work. Sometimes, the most dramaticexamples of genius involve people who produce their best work at a very young age. However, not every genius produces exceptional work early in life the way Einstein and Mozart did. Some, like Ludwig yon Beethoven, do their best work later in life.We may never know precisely where creativity comes from, why some people use their creativity more than others or why some people are most creative during specific times in their lives. We may not learn how one person ends up with the right balance of brainpower, intelligence and creativity to become a genius. But it's clear that geniuses are central to advancements in science, technology and understanding. Without geniuses, our understanding of mathematics, literature and music would be completely different. Concepts that we now take for granted, like gravity, planetary orbits and black holes, might still be undiscovered.1. Who is the typical genius that started composing music when he was 5 years old?A) Albert Einstein. B) Star Trek.C) Wolfgang Mozart. D) Isaac Newton.2. Which is TRUE about IQ test according to the passage?A) People who has a higher IQ is a genius.B) IQ test measures a limited part of a person's intelligence.C) High test scores have little to do with real genius.D) There is still a controversy on whether IQ test can tell all about the genius.3.

Within the ______ field, psychologists have controversy on how best to measure and analyze intelligence.A) neurology B) psychologyC) psychometrics D) not mentioned7. On the graph of the IQ scores of a lot of people, the average range of the bell curve would he the score ______.A) below 100 B) between 90 and 110C) between 100 and 110 D) higher than 1108. If a boy has a low IQ in a school, he would probably be sent to ______.9. Some researchers are net cement with IQ test because they think that intelligence is ______.10. Geniuses don't confine themselves to some known knowledge but tend to use ______.Part ⅢListening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Opinion polls are now beginning to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?The Industrial Age has been the only period of human history in which most people's work has taken the form of jobs. The Industrial Age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting(使人畏缩的) thought. But, in fact, it could offer a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home loves and the places in which they love.Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go outto the paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full time jobs.47. Research carried out in the recent opinion polls shows that ______.48. What does the author think about the coming end of the Industrial Age?49. According to the passage, what do the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries mean?50. The effects of almost universal employment were overwhelming in that ______.51. The article concludes that our efforts and resources in terms of tacking employment are ______.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 1The number of parents teaching their offspring at home will increase if the current public school system continues to be viewed as an irrelevant institution that can hinder a child's ability to learn.The rise of home-schooling reflects broadening dissatisfaction with formal education in the US. Discontent is high for two reasons. First, public schools are turning out a poor product--illiterate and unprepared graduates. For example, American 13-year-olds have been documented as having math skills that rank below their counterparts in 14 other developed countries. One survey noted that just one-third of high school juniors could place the Civil War in the correct half-century. Equally troubling, public schools have become scenes where drugs are sold, teachers are robbed, and homemade bombs are found in lockers.Compounding the situation, teachers' unions, school officials, and many politicians adamantly(坚决地) oppose the use of public monies(钱) for innovative solutions, such as vouchers and charter schools. Those alternatives, although not a panacea(万能) for all the present problems, are at least promising vehicles that could help poor and middle-income parents to find better schools for their children and break up the monopoly of a "one-size-fits-all" philosophy of education.In light of the educational quagmire(沼泽) the US finds itself in, many parents, impatient for reform, are taking matters into their own hands. One alternative that is gaining growing public acceptance is the educational option known as home-schooling.Home-schooling is defined simply as the "education of school-aged children at home rather than at a school". Home-schoolers believe that students who receive instruction simultaneously from the home and the community at large will be more culturally sophisticated than those whose bulk of learning experience is confined to a school. Home-schooling families believe they are using their liberties well and wisely. The American can-do spirit is evident in the home-schools and households parents manage simultaneously. Those families, however, could use some further deregulation, be it through home-school tax credits or a loosening of compulsory attendance school laws, to make their task easier.52. According to the text, the number of children being schooled at home has increased because ______.A) children don't want to go to schoolB) parents are dissatisfied with pubic schoolsC) home-schooled children learn betterD) public schools are too crowded53. The author believes that using public monies to fund charter schools is ______.A) a cure-all solution B) hard to implementC) a good idea D) against the law54. Advocates believe that students who are schooled at home and in the community ______.A) exhibit the American can-do spiritB) will be more likely to home-school their own childrenC) lack basic social skillsD) are more culturally sophisticated55. According to the author, families that home-school their children would be helped by ______.A) a relaxing of current regulations B) governmental assistanceC) more understanding communities D) better teaching in the public schools56. The author's attitude towards home-schooling is ______.A) supportive B) inquiringC) neutral D) suspiciousPassage 2It is pretty hopeless as a venue for opera, it took years to build, its architect was forced to resign and it was never properly finished inside. None of this matters. The Sydney Opera House, by the reclusive Danish architect Jorn Utzon, is the mother and father of all modern landmark buildings. It has come to define not only a city, but an entire nation and continent.Beyond that, it is a global expression of cultural modernity. Everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks like. First designed in 1956 and finally declared completed in 1973, the opera house was the single best known modern building in the world until the arrival of Frank Gehry's equally extraordinary Bilbao Guggenheim in 1997. But it will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon--because it did all the difficult work tint.In the pantheon(万神殿) of classic modern buildings, Utzon's creation has the status of myth. The myth states that the unknown architect, then in his thirties, submitted rough sketches to the competition judges, that he ignored most of the rules, that his as only selected after being plucked at the last moment from the rejected pile by one of the judges, and that the design was unbuildable.But Sydney is remarkable for another reason: it is a complete one-off. It does not fit into any stylistic or chronological category. None of Utzon's other buildings--churches, government departments, house. looks anything like it, and architects today who try to copy his concept always end up looking very second-rate indeed. It is "modern", certainly, but it is an expressive modernism that was quite at odds with the rectilinear(直线的) "international style" of its time. It has more in common with the work of the American genius Frank Uloyd Wright, for whom Utzon worked briefly. Of course its location is an enormous help, sitting as it does on a promontory with water on three sides and the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge as a picture-postcard backdrop. But Utzon masterly exploited the site as nobody else could.Utzon left Australia in high indignation in 1966, never to return, before he could finish designing the interiors.As with Sir Christopher Wren at St Paul's Cathedral, Utzon was humiliated and removed from overseeing the final stages of his masterwork. But for all his manifold difficulties, which other contemporary architect can claim an equivalent achievement? The Sydney Opera House showed us that anything is possible, and it demonstrated that sheer, seductive beauty for its own sake is nothing to be ashamed of.57. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A) the Danish architect Join Utzon totally failed in his design of Sydney Opera House and was forced to resignB) the Danish architect Jorn Utzon has been made known as the founder of all the modern landmark。

6月大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案解析（四）（2）Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?When a heart-lung machine was invented that could take over the job of the heart, put oxygen into the blood and keep the circulation going during surgery, surgeons could stop the heart while they were cutting and suturing. Recently, in certain cases, some surgeons have begun operating without the pump while the heart continues to beat.?“The benef its of off-pump surgery are tremendous for patients who meet the criteria for this procedure,” says Dr. Jim Zellner with the Alliance of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons. “There is less need for blood products, less chance of complications during and after surgery, earlier recovery and earlier return to regular activity.” ?Seawood Murray feels he was led by God to find Dr. Zellner and Memorial Hospital and to have off-pump surgery.?A veteran of the United States Navy as a nuclear weapons security officer and commanding officer of a mine assembly group for more than 31 years, Seawood has never complained about stress or pain. He saw three tours of duty off the coast of Vietnam. ?However, after suffering from chest pain for almost a year and being misdiagnosed with chronic heartburn, Seawood knew something was seriously wrong. At the Veteran’s hospital in Murfreesboro, he learned he had heart disease and was told to come back in six weeks.?“I didn’t want to wait that long and asked for a referral to The Chattanooga Heart Institute,” Seawood says. “Dr. NoelHunt found that 40% of my heart was not getting the amount of blood it needed to operate properly.” ?Four days later, Seawood was undergoing off-pump triple bypass surgery at Memorial Hospital under the hand of Dr. Zellner. “I was sitting up that evening, walking around the second day and feeling good enough to go home the third day, but I stayed till the fourth morning,” Seawood says. “Two others who had on-pump bypass surgery the same day I had mine off-pump were barely walking when I left.”?31. How do surgeons usually operate on a heart-attacker according to the passage? ?A) They operate without a pump.B) They operate with a heart-lung machine.?C) They operate by stopping the heart.D) They operate with nothing but cutting and suturing. ?32.

What did Dr. Zellner do for Seawood Murray’s disease? ?A) Dr. Zellner gave him a surgery with a heart-lung machine..?B) Dr. Zellner diagnosed his disease as chronic heartburn.?C) Dr. Zellner gave him an off-pump triple bypass surgery.?D) Dr. Zellner referred him to another hospital. ?35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? ?A) Seawood Murray could hardly walk four days after the surgery.?B) Seawood Murray got recovered more slowly than other patients.?C) Seawood Murray felt well and went home the third day after the surgery.?D) Seawood Murray went home the fourth day after the surgery. ?Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?The key element to successful interviewing is not your experience, your grades,what classes you took, your extracurricular activities, or any of the other basic necessities. Those skills are what got you the interview. The key element to uccessful interviewing can be summed up in one word: attitude. If you want to rise above others with better experience, better grades, or better anything, you will need to work on developing a highly positive work attitude. ?Yo ur attitude determines whether you will “make the cut” or be discarded. Remember, there are plenty of competitors with the ability to do almost any given job-- especially at the entry level. The way most employers differentiate at the entry level is by can didates’ attitudes toward the job. Your attitude is often what recruiters will remember when the dust has settled after reviewing ten, twenty, or even one hundred candidates--the one who was sincerely willing to put forth his very best effort. If you have the attitude of wanting to do your very best for thecompany, of being focused on the company’s needs, of putting yourself forth as the person who will be committed and dedicated to fulfilling their needs, you will likely be the one chosen. ?Why is attitude so important? Because most companies already have their full share of multi-talented superstars who care about no one but themselves. Ask any manager who the most valuable member of his team is, and he will point not to the overrated superstar, but to t he person who has the “can do” attitude, the person who can be counted on in any situation, the person who truly strives for excellence. Give me a team player who is achieving at 99% and I will take her over a flashy superstar who is running at 50% efficiency any day of the week. And so will 99% of all hiring managers. ?So don’t worry if you are not “superstar” quality. If you can show me, in your words and actions, that you are ready to put forth your very best effort toward achieving excellence, you will be chosen over the superstar. You can show your winning attitude in the way you present yourself. Incorporate the actual words “positive attitude,” “excellence,” and “striving to be my best” into your interview language. Then show by your stories and examples how these words positively affect your life. Show me when and where and how you have put forth extra effort above and beyond the call of duty. Show me how you beat a deadline, how you excelled in a project, or how you made a difference by going the extra mile. If you can show me, by words and examples, your “can do” attitude, it is you I will hire, while all of the superstars will receive polite rejection letters to add to their growing collections.?36. What is the key element to successful interviewingaccording to this passage? ?A) Courses taken before.B) A varied experience.?C) A positive work attitude.D) Interviewees’ capability. ?37. Which of the following statement is correct in the author’s opinion? ?A) There are inadequate competitors with the ability to do almost any given job— especially at the entry level.?B) Most interviewers generally depend on the candidates’ attitudes toward the job to choose the employees.?C) Most employers tell the difference between candidates by their entry level.?D) Better experience and better grades become the most important elements to be chosen. ?38. Who is the most valuable member of his team to a manager? ?A) The multi-talented superstar.?B) The person who tries his best for excellence.?C) The person who counts on himself and does not cooperate with others.?D) The flashy star who makes the company famous. ?39. In an interview, what makes you leave a good impression on the interviewer?A) Your boasting words.?B) The words such as positive attitude, excellence, and striving to be my best.C) Your own stories.?D) Words and examples to show your positive attitude. ?40. What is the best title for this passage? ?A) Your Attitude Determines Whether You Will “Make The Cut” or Be Discarded.?B) How to Find a Good Job.?C) The Most Important Aspect of Interviewing.?D) A Successful Interviewing.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he got hooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea that all energy and wealth comes from the sun really intrigued him. He thought the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, the higher the profit to the farmer.B) Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2009, he and his wife Laura launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in northern New York. He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed products currently exceeds supply. Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25-30% annual growth rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir(发酵乳饮品), on the other hand, have in the last year increased by over 38%. This is in comparison with adrop of just under 1% in the total yogurt and kefir market, according to natural and organic market research company SPINS. Joseph's top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasn't going to suffice.C) His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma Lea farm in New York. The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convert from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during the last two years.D) All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it began, with no end in sight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open- minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics. Grass fed milk can fetch up to 2.5times the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed. These practices include grazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland s natural seed bank, and fertilized by the cows' own fertilizer.E) Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement. Grazing herds stimulate microbial(微生物的) activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.F) In the grass-fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Going gras-fed is a safe refuge,a way for family-scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to the point where financially, what they're doing is not working. That's when they call Maple Hill. If the farm is well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin. Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thousands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management. Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer's milk at a guaranteed base price, plus quality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butter-fat and other solids.G) While Maple Hill's conversion program is unusually hands-on and comprehensive, it's just one of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms. Joseph calls sharing his knowledge network through peer-to-peer learning a core piece of the company's culture. Last summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate John Smith launched Big Picture Beef, a network of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from 125 producers this year.Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage of farm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, he' s received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers.H) Smith says he'll provide services ranging from formal seminars to on-farm workshops on holistic(整体的) management, to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline for farmers who are converting. In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and a calf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union.I) Though advocates portray grass fed products as a win-win situation for all, they do have downsides. Price, for one, is an issue. Joseph says his products are priced 10-20%above organic versions, but depending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers could pay a premium of 30-50% or more for grass-fed. As for the meat, Smith says his grass-fed hamburger will be priced 20-25% over the conventional alternative. But a look at the prices ononline grocer Fresh Direct suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35-60%.J) And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed. For both beef and dairy production, it requires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland. Grass-fed beef production tends to be more labor-intensive as well. But Smith counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government corm subsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human health and animal welfare, grass-fed is the more cost-effective model. "The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapest meat," he says.K) Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based protein bars. Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be endurance athletes; now they' re advocates of grass- fed meat. Soon after launching EPIC's most successful product- the Bison Bacon Cranberry Bar- Collins and Forrest found they'd exhausted their sources for bison(北美野牛) raised exclusively on pasture. When they started researching the supply chain, they learnedthat only 2-3% of all bison is actually grass-fed. The rest is feed- lot confined and fed grain and corm.L) But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had the resources they needed to expand their supply chain. So the company teamed up with Wisconsin-based rancher Northstar Bison. EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of $2.5 million worth of young bison that will be raised according to its grass- fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price. The message to young people who might not otherwise be able to afford to break into the business is, "'You car Purchase this S3 million piece of land here, because I'm guaranteeing you today you'll have 1,000 bison on it.' We're bringing new blood into the old, conventional farming ecosystem, which is really cool to see," Collins explains.36. Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milk prices of the global market.37. Over the years, Tim Joseph's partners have helped many dairy farmers to switch to grass-fed.38. One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken into consideration when we assess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39. Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when they saw its advantage in terms of profits.40. Tim Joseph's grass-fed program is only one example of how American farming practice is changing.41. Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energy and wealth to mankind.42. One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually more expensive than conventional ones.43. Grass-fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44. When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed products fell short of demand.45. A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison meat was scarce.阅读答案36.F37.C38.J39.D40.G41.A42.I43.E44.B45.KPassage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Schools are not just a microcosm (缩影) of society; they mediate it too. The best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside -- at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. This is ambitious in any circumstances, and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright(直接地).Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime -- treks in Bomeo, a sports tour to Barbados -- appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. Parents are being asked for thousands of pounds. Though schools cannot profit from these trips, thecompanies that arrange them do. Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can't afford breakfast. The Child Poverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. The discrepancy is startlingly apparent. Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising French on a language exchange can fire children's passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life 's possibilities. Educational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores in A-level tests. In this globalised age, there is a good case for international travel, and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday. Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures, some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be truly life-changing. They should be applauded. Methods such as whole-school fundraising, with theproceeds(收益) pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuel community spirit.But 3,000 pounds trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over 30,000 pounds. Such initiatives close doors for many pupils. Some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips. Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind.The Department for Education 's guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs. However, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips, which are becoming increasingly common. Schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed. But the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged.46. What does the author say best schools should do?A) Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B) Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C) Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D) Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.47. What does the author think about school field trips?A) They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B) They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C) They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D) They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.48. What does the author suggest can help build community spirit?A) Events aiming to improve community services.B) Activities that help to fuel students' ingenuity.C) Events that require mutual understanding,D) Activities involving all students on campus.49. What do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field trips?A) They want their children to participate even though they don't see much benefit.B) They don't want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C) They don't want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite the cost.D) They want their children to experience adventures but they don't want them to run risks.50. What is the author's expectation of schools?A) Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B) Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C) Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D) Giving poor students preferential treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine(未受污染的) waters around the Antarctic couldsee king penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to a new study. The study's report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world's last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds.Co-author Celine Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, warned: "If there're no actions aimed at halting or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human-induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may soon disappear." The findings come amid growing concern over the future of the Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill(磷虾) population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But today's report is the starkest warming yet of the potentially devastating impact of climate change and human exploitation on the Antarctic's delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: "Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins -- 1.1 million breeding pairs -- will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100." King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Front -- an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a huge abundance of marine life -- is being pushed further south. This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and kill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer. And as the distance between their breeding, grounds and their fool prows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said: "The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warming about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems." Penguins are sensitive indicators ofchanges in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine ecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.51. What will happen by 2100, according to a new study?A) King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B) Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52. What do we learn from the findings of a separate study?A) Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B) Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C) Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D) Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53. What does the passage say about king penguins?A) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54. What happens when sea levels rise in the Antarctic?A) Many baby king penguins can't have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on kill.C) Whales will invade king penguins' breeding grounds.D) Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55. What do we learn about the Southern Ocean?A) The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B) Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C) It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D) Only a few of its islands can serve as luge breeding grounds for king penguins.阅读答案Passage one46.B47.B48.D49.A50.CPassage two51.A52.C53.D54.A55.D。

Each choice in thebank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item onAnswer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of thewords in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy _26 during the ’90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology _27 . But how? In the late ’90s, the answer s eemed obvious: Indians. After all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would 28 Indians to Germany any just as America does by offering green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and announced that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. 29 , the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the 30 would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later barely half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was 31 .I told the German official at the time that I was sure the initiative would fail. It’s not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, but I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American 32 ). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, because it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost 33 path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official 34 my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “We need young te ch workers,” he said. “T hat’s what thi s program is all about.”So Germany was asking bright young professionals to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange land — but without any 35 of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was clearly received in India and other countries, and also by Germany’s own immigrantDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph morethan once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by markingthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.What will the world be like in fifty years?[A] This week some top scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, gave their vision of how the world will look in 2056, from gas-powered cars to extraordinary health advances. John Ingham reports on what th e world’s finest minds believe our futures will be.[B] For those of us lucky enough to live that long, 2056 will be a world of almost perpetual youth, where obesity is a remote memory and robots become our companions. We will be rubbing shoulders with aliens and colonizing outer space. Better still, our descendants might at last live in a world at peace with itself.[C] The prediction is that we will have found a source of inexhaustible, safe, green energy, and that science will have killed off religion. If they are right we will have removed two of the main causes of war—our dependence on oil and religious prejudice. Will we really, as today’s scientists claim, be able to live for ever or at least cheat the ageing process so that the average person lives to 150? Of course, all these predictions come with a scientific health warning. Harvard professor Steven Pinker says: “This is an invitation to look foolish, as with the predictions of domed cities and nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners that were made 50 yea r ago.”Living longer[D] Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina, believes failing organs will be repaired by injecting cells into the body. They will naturally go straight to the injury and help heal it. A system of injections without needles could also slow the ageing process by using the same process to “tune” cells.[E] Bruce Lahn, professor of human genetics at the University of Chicago, anticipates the ability to produce “unlimited supplies” of transplantable human or gans without the need for human donors. These organs would be grown in animals such as pigs. When a patient needed a new organ, such as kidney, the surgeon would contact a commercial organ producer, give him the patient’s immunological profile and would th en be sent a kidney with the correct tissue type. These organs would be entirely composed of human cells, grown by introducing them into animal hosts, and allowing them to develop into an organ in place of the animal’s own. But Prof. Lahn believes that far med brains would be “off limits”.He says: “Very few people would want to have their brains replaced by someone else’s and we probably don’t want to put a human brain in an animal body.”[F] Richard Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, thinks scientists could develop “a uthentic anti-ageing drugs” by working out how cells in larger animals such as whales and human resist many forms of injuries. He says: “It is now routine, in laboratory mammals, to extend lifespan by about 40%. Turning on the same protective systems in people should, by 2056,create the first class of 100-year-olds who are as vigorous and productive as today’s people in their 60s.”Aliens[G] Conlin Pillinger, professor of planetary sciences at the Open University, says: “I fa ncy that at least we will be able to show that life did start to evolve on Mars as well as Earth.” Within 50years he hopes scientists will prove that alien life came here in Martian meteorites (陨石).[H] Chris McKay, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Ames Re search Center, believes that in 50 years we may find evidence of alien life in ancient permanent frost of Mars or on other planets. He adds: “There is even a chance we will find alien life forms here on Earth. It might be as different as English is to Chin ese.”[I] Prin ceton professor Freeman Dyson thinks it “likely” that life from outer space will be discovered before 2056 because the tools for finding it, such as optical and radio detection and data processing, are improving. He says: “As soon as the fir st evidence is found, we will know what to look for and additional discoveries are likely to follow quickly. Such discoveries are likely to have revolutionary consequences for biology, astronomy and philosophy. They may also change the way we look at ourse lves and our place in the universe.”Colonies in space[J] Richard Gott, professor of astrophysics at Princeton, hopes man will set up a self-sufficient colony on Mars, which would be a “life insurance policy against whatever catastrophes, natural or otherwise, might occur on Earth. “The real space race is whether we will colonise off Earth on to other worlds before money for the space programme runs out.”Spinal injuries[K] Ellen Heber-Katz, a professor at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, foresees cures for injuries causing paralysis such as the one that afflicted Superman star Christopher Reeve. She says: “I believe that the day is not far off when we will be able to prescribe drugs that cause severed (断裂的) spinal cords to heal, hearts to regenerate and lost limbs to regrow.[L] “People will come to expect that injured or diseased organs are meant to be repaired from within, in much the same way that we fix an appliance or automobile: by replacing the damaged part with a manufacturer-certified new part.” She predicts that within 5 to 10 years fingers and toes will be regrown and limbs will start to be regrown a few years later. Repairs to the nervous system will start with optic nerves and, in time, the spinal cord. “Within 50years whole body replacement will be routine,” Prof. Heber-Katz adds.Obesity[M] Sydney Brenner, senior distinguished fellow of the Crick-Jacobs Center in California, won the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine and says that if there is a global disaster some humans will survive—and evolution will favour small people with bodies large enough to support the required amount of brain power. “Obesity,” he says, “will have been solved.”Robots[N] Rodney Brooks, professor of robotics at MIT, says the problems of developing artificial intelligence for robots will be at least partly overcome. As a result, “the possibilities for robots working with people will open up immensely”.Energy[O] Bill Joy, green technology expert in California, says: “The most significant breakthrough would be to have an inexhaustible source of safe, green energy that is substantially cheaper thanany existing energy source.” Ideally, such a source would be safe in that it could not be made into weapons and would not make hazardous or toxic waste or carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming.Society[P] Geoffrey Miller, evolutionary psychologist at the University of New Mexico, says: “The US will follow the UK in realizing that religion is not a prerequisite (前提) for ordinary human decency. “Th us, science will kill religion—not by reason challenging faith but by offering a more practical, universal and rewarding moral framework for human interaction.” He also predicts that “absurdly wasteful”displays of wealth will become unfashionable while the importance of close-knit communities and families will become clearer. These three changes, he says, will help make us all “brighter, wiser, happier and kinder”.36. Professor Bruce Lahn of the University of Chicago predicts that humans won’t have to donateorgans for transplantation.37. According to Princeton professor Richard Gott, by setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars,humans might survive all catastrophes on earth.38. John I ngham’s repo rt is about s cientists’ vision of the world in half a century.39. Rodney Brooks says that it will be possible for robots to work with humans as a result of thedevelopment of artificial intelligence.40. According to Geoffrey Miller, science will offer a more practical, universal and rewardingmoral framework in place of religion.41. According to Harvard professor Steven Pinker, predictions about the future may not come true.42. Ellen Heber-Katz, professor at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, predicts that lost fingersand limbs will be able to regrow.43. According to Professor Richard Miller of the University of Michigan, people will life to 100and more with vitality.44. The most significant breakthrough predicted by Bill Joy will be an inexhaustible green energysource that can’t be used to make weapons.45. Princeton professor Freeman Dyson thinks that alien life will likely be discovered.Section CDirections: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) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically asa function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence of conflict.Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations, decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial indicators.In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions.46. In the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is ______.A) wrong B) oversimplified C) misleading D) unclear47. Professor Charles R. Schwenk’s research shows ______.A) the advantages and disadvantages of conflictB) the real value of conflictC) the difficulty in determining the optimal level of conflictD) the complexity of defining the roles of conflict48. We can learn from Schwenk’s research that ______.A) a person’s view of conflict is influenced by the purpose of his organizationB) conflict is necessary for managers of for-profit organizationsC) different people resolve conflicts in different waysD) it is impossible for people to avoid conflict49. The passage suggests that in for-profit organizations ______.A) there is no end of conflictB) expression of different opinions is encouragedC) decisions must be justifiableD) success lies in general agreement50. People working in a not-for-profit organization ______.A) seem to be difficult to satisfy B) are free to express diverse opinionsC) are less effective in making decisions D) find it easier to reach agreementPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Researchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture. For example, they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of the cultural or ethnic minority groups being studied.In conducting research on cultural and ethnic minority issues, investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach. In the emic approach, the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in terms that are meaningful and important to the people in that culture or ethnic group, without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups. In the etic approach, the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures. If researchersconstruct a questionnaire in an emic fashion, their concern is only that the questions are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied. If, however, the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion, they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved.How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard for whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups. In a subsequent study, the researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups.51. According to the first paragraph, researchers unfamiliar with the target cultures are inclined to______.A) be overcautious in constructing meaningful measuresB) view them from their own cultural perspectiveC) guard against interference from their own cultureD) accept readily what is alien to their own culture52. What does the author say about the emic approach and the etic approach?A) They have different research focuses in the study of ethnic issues.B) The former is biased while the latter is objective.C) The former concentrates on the study of culture while the latter on family issues.D) They are both heavily dependent on questionnaires in conducting surveys.53. Compared with the etic approach, the emic approach is apparently more ______.A) culturally interactive B) culture-orientedC) culturally biased D) culture-specific54. The etic approach is concerned with ______.A) the general characteristics of minority familiesB) culture-related concepts of individual ethnic groupsC) features shared by various cultures or ethnic groupsD) the economic conditions of different types of families55. Which of the following is true of the ethnic minority families in the U.S. according to thepassage?A) Their cultural patterns are usually more adaptable.B) Their cultural concepts are difficult to comprehend.C) They don’t interact with each other so much as White families.D) They have closer family ties than White families.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

英语六级翻译新题型模拟题(1)原文：中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，人口约占世界总人口的22%。

在过去相当长的时期里，由于诸多原因，贫困一直困扰着中国。

20世纪80年代中期，中国农村绝大多数地区凭借自身的发展优势，经济得到快速增长，但少数地区由于经济、社会、历史、自然等方面的制约，发展相对滞后。

中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中，在全国范围内实施了以解决贫困人口温饱问题为主要目标的有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发，极大地缓解了贫困现象。

参考答案China is the largest developing country in the world and its population accounts for about 22 percent of the world’s total. For a long period of its history, China has been plagued by poverty for various reasons. In the mid-1980s, the economy of an overwhelming majority of the rural areas in China grew dramatically by virtue of their own advantages, but a small number of areas still lagged behind because of the constraints of their economic, social, historical, and natural conditions. The Chinese government, while working on all-round economic and social development, has nationwide implemented a large-scale program for development-oriented poverty relief in a planned and organized way. With the main objective of helping poverty-stricken people solve the food and clothing problems, this program has gone a long way toward alleviating poverty.难点精析1.发展中国家：英语中对应的表达为developing country，该句结构简单，直译即可。

At the time of his arrest, Salopek, 44, had been freelance reporting for National Geographic magazine on the Sahel region, which stretches east-west across Africa along the southern edge of the Sahara. Don Belt, Salopek’s editor for the Sahel assignment, embraced the reporter upon his arrival and later said he might have lost a little weight, but he looks like he’s none the worse for wear. “We’re over the moon about Salopek’s return”, Belt added. Salopek, who is on a scheduled leave of absence from the Chicago Tribune, arrived in Albuquerque with his wife, his Tribune editor, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Salopek said it feels “fantastic” to be home. “It’s great to see my wife, who’s been through a lot—in some ways more than myself-in the last 35 days,” he said. After he’s spent some time with his family, Salopek says, he plans to “make rounds in Chicago and Washington” to thank his friends at the Tribune and the National Geographic Society. “I can never really repay them,” he said. But, he joked at a press conference Sunday at the Albuquerque international airport, what he can do is “rack up an enormous beer bill.”On behalf of National Geographic, Belt thanked Richardson, the Tribune, Sudan’s ambassador to the United States, and Jimmy Carter. The former U.S.President had written to Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir on Salopek’s behalf-a gesture that had been kept secret until Sunday. (Both National Geographic News and National Geographic magazine are parts of the National Geographic Society.) Once Salopek is back on the job, he intends to return to Africa, first to Chad to check up on his two assistants, who were arrested and freed alongside him. Then he will complete his National Geographic assignment in Chad, Mall, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal. Detained in Noah Darfur The Pulitzer Prize winner and his Chadian assistants-driver Idriss Abdulraham Anu and interpreter Suleiman Abakar Moussa were arrested on August 6 after traveling from Chad to Sudan’s troubled Dar fur Province without a visa. The border crossing had been a last minute decision, Salopek said at the Sunday press conference. Normally, the three would have been deported. Instead, on August 26 they were charged with espionage, passing in- formation illegally, and disseminating “false news”, in addition to the charge of entering the country unlawfully. The three men were confined to a single cell in E1 Fasher, capital of Noah Dar fur Province. From the cell, Salopek says, they could see protestors daily inveighing(痛骂) against the United States and the Unit- ed Nations, which are leading an effort to deploy a UN peacekeeping force to neighboring Dar fur Province. Salopek and his cellmates, though, weren’t without welcome company. U.S. soldiers-in the region advising an African Union peacekeeping force-discovered that an American was being held in El Fasher and took up his cause. “They visited us virtually every day,” Salopek said. “They were like our guardian angels. The effort to free the reporter and his colleagues, though wasn’t exactly heavenly. It was like a “carnival ride,” Salopek said, “up and down, day to day.”The Release Governor Richardson flew to Sudan on Thursday to negotiate the three men’s release on humanitarian grounds. Thanks in part to prior dealings with the Sudanese ambassador to the U.S. and with Sudanese President Omar A1-Bashir, Richardson succeeded after a 45-minute meeting on Friday. “This is your lucky day,”the Sudanese president told Richardson, according to the Chicago Tribune. In agreeing to release Salopek, A1-Bashir asked Richardson to convey a message to the Bush Administration requesting good treatment and release of Sudanese prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, the Tribune reports But, Richardson said in a press conference Saturday, there were “no deals”made to win the men’s release. Actually getting the three out of jail required a full day of bureaucratic wrangling in El Fasher. “There were some bureaucratic hiccups,” Richardson told the Tribune. “You just sit and wait, be pleasant, be positive.”Salopek and his assistants were released into Richardson’s custody at 5 p.m. Saturday local time, following a brief court hearing. “We are stopping the case and we are releasing you right now. And that is all,” Judge Hosham Mohammed Yousif told the men before setting them free. “I can’t tell you how great it is to see friends’faces again,”Salopek said, when greeted in El Fasher by his wife, Linda Lynch; Richardson; Tribune editor Ann Made Lipinski; and National Geographic Editor in Chief Chris Johns. “The concern for a long prison sentence was very real,” the reporter added. Night Flight The delays and an approaching dust storm nearly prevented the three journalists from leaving El Fasher on Saturday. “There was a big dust storm,called a haboob,” Salopek said. “And they close the airport for security reasons at 6 p. m.”The airport, Salopek adds, is basically a military Base. “Picture an air base in the middle of a savannah, with helicopter gunships, bombers, and Sudanese soldiers in pickup trucks with anti-aircraft guns on the back,”he said. A small group of the U.S. soldiers escorted Salopek, his editors, Lynch, Richardson and his staff, and the U. S. counsel to the their plane. “It was like something out of a James Bond movie,” National Geographic’s Johns said. Salopek, Richardson, Lynch, and Lipinski departed Khartoum late last night on a private jet, with refueling stops in France, Ireland, and Canada. “It’s all been a bit of a busy day,”Salopek said. “It’s only been 24 hours since we left Khartoum.”“It was quite a change going from the jail cell into a private jet.”Johns stayed behind to ensure that Salopek’s driver and interpreter make it home safely to Chad. “Paul told me he’s concerned about of the safe return home of his Chadian interpreter and driver...”Johns had said on Friday. “I assured him that I and the National Geographic Society will take responsibility for getting them home safely.”On Sunday National Geographic’s Belt, senior editor for geography and world affairs, said that the Chadians were on their way out of Sudan by air, by way of Ethiopia, and should be home this evening. Conflict Darfur has been plagued for years by conflict between local rebels-mostly black Africans-and the Arab-controlled central government. The fighting has killed an estimated 180,000 people, mostly from disease and hunger. An estimated two million have fled the region. Of particular concern are attacks by a government-backed Arab militia called the Janjaweed, which has assaulted both rebel forces and civilians. Tensions appear to be mounting again, with the Sudanese government currently rejecting deploying a U.N. peacekeeping force to the region. At the moment, 7,000 African Union troops are attempting to maintain the peace, but they are scheduled to withdraw late this month. Despite the difficulties, Salopek was quick to say that he’d return to Sudan to report again. “Absolutely,” he said to the Tribune. “If I were to be granted a visa, I would come back.”Salopek told National Geographic News, “Obviously I regret having gone across that border, especially without a visa.”Every journalist working in that part of Africa knows that working in Sudan is difficult, he says. In addition, Chad and the Sudan have a traditionally rocky relationship, making that border crossing particularly problematic. “I think we were victims of bad timing and bad luck,”he said. “I have been arrested before, quite often, and held for a matter of hours or days. This is the longest and most serious, but it’s the cost of getting difficult stories where there is no other way to bring it to light, “Salopek said. “My hope is that my case does not discourage other journalists from continuing to cover the important story of Dar fur, which I fear is only going to get worse.”2．Paul Salopek is editor for the Sahel assignment, belonging to National Geographic magazine.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：B解析：综合判断题。

环境空气氨气浓度环境质量标准环境空气质量一直是人们关注的焦点之一，其中氨气浓度作为重要指标之一，对环境空气质量的评估和监测具有重要意义。

在本文中，我们将从浅入深地探讨环境空气氨气浓度与环境质量标准相关的内容，以便更好地了解和应用这些知识。

一、环境空气氨气浓度的含义和影响1.1 什么是环境空气氨气浓度？环境空气氨气浓度是指空气中氨气的含量，通常以微克每立方米（μg/m³）或毫克每立方米（mg/m³）为单位进行表达。

氨气是一种常见的气体污染物，来自于农业排放、工业生产、废水处理等多个方面。

1.2 环境空气氨气浓度对人体健康和环境的影响高浓度的氨气会对人体健康和环境造成严重危害，导致眼睛、皮肤和呼吸道等多个方面的问题，同时也可能对植物生长和水体质量产生不良影响。

二、环境空气质量标准与氨气浓度限值2.1 环境空气质量标准的制定和意义环境空气质量标准是政府部门为了保障公众健康和生态环境的需要而制定的标准，其中包括了多种污染物的限值要求。

而在其中，氨气浓度也是重要的监测指标之一。

2.2 环境空气质量标准中对氨气浓度的限值要求根据我国环境空气质量标准（GB3095-2012），对氨气浓度的限值要求为：一次浓度的限值为1小时35μg/m³，24小时平均值的限值为24小时160μg/m³，年均值的限值为40μg/m³。

3. 环境空气氨气浓度监测和控制措施3.1 监测手段和方法目前，对环境空气氨气浓度的监测主要通过空气质量监测站和在线监测设备进行实时监测，同时也可以通过大气采样、化验分析等方法来获取氨气浓度数据。

3.2 控制措施和管理建议为了降低环境空气氨气浓度，可以采取合理的工业排放控制、农业废气处理、环境管理与规划等多种措施，以保障空气质量和人体健康。

个人观点和总结：通过对环境空气氨气浓度与环境质量标准的深入探讨，我们可以更好地认识到氨气浓度对环境和人体健康的重要影响，同时也意识到了环境空气质量标准的重要性。
