篇1：大学英语六级考前模拟题及答案
Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. ?
Passage 1 ?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the o pinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.?
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.?
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.?
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.?
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. ?
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.?
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.?
21.In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except ____.?
A) recognize and define the problem
B) look for information to make the problem clearer?
C) have suggestions for a possible solution
D) find a solution by trial or mistake?
22.By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to ____.?
A) illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle

23.Which of the following is NOT true??
A) People do not analyze the problem they meet.
B) People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.?
C) People may learn from their past experience
D) People cannot solve some problems they meet.?
24.As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means ____.
A) in the long run B) in detail C) in a word D) in the end?
25.What is the best title for this passage??
A) Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s Bicycle.
B) Possible Ways to Problem-solving.?
C) Necessities of Problem Analysis.
D) Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem.?
Passage 2?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?
Stone tools, animal bones and an incised mammoth tusk found in Russia’s frigid far north have provided what archaeologists say is the first evidence that modern humans or Neanderthals lived in the Arctic more than 30,000 years ago, at least 15,000 years earlier than previously thought.?
A team of Russian and Norwegian archaeologists, describing the discovery in today’s issue of the journal Nature, said the campsite, at Mamontovaya Kurya, on the Ura River at the Arctic Circle, was the “oldest documented evidence for human resence at this high latitude. ”Digging in the bed of an old river channel close to the Ural Mountains, the team uncovered 123 mammal bones, including horse, reindeer and wolf. “The most important find,” they said, was a four-foot mammoth tusk with grooves made by chopping with a sharp stone edge, “unequivocally the work of humans.” The tusk was carbon-dated at about 36,600 years old. Plant remains found among the artifacts were dated at 30,000 to 31,000 years.?
Other archaeologists said the analysis appeared to be sound. But they cautioned that it was difficult, when dealing with riverbed deposits, to be sure that artifacts had not become jumbled out of their true place, and thus time, in the geologic layers. They questioned whether the discoverers could reliably conclude tha the stone tools were in fact contemporary with the bones. But in a commentary accompanying the article, Dr. John A. J. Gowlett of the University of Liverpool in England wrote, “Although there are questions to be answered, the artifacts illustrate both the capacity of early humans to do the unexpected, and the value of archaeologists’ researching in unlikely areas.”?
The discoverers said they could not determine from the few stone artifacts whether the site was occupied by Neanderthals, hominids who by then had a long history as hunters in Europe and western Asia, or some of the first anatomically modern humans to reach Europe.? In any case, other archaeologists said, the findings could be significant. If these toolmakers were Neanderthals, the findings suggested that these human relatives, who became extinct after 30,000 years ago, were more capable and adaptable than they are generally given credit for. Living in the Arctic climate presumably required higher levels of technology and social organization.?
If they were modern humans, then the surprise is that they had penetrated so farnorth in such a short time. There has been no firm evidence for modern humans in Europe before about 35,000 years ago. It had generally been thought that the northernmost part of Eurasia was not occupied by humans until the final stage of the last ice age, some 13,000 to 14,000 years ago, when the world’s climate began to moderate. Dr. Gowlett said the new findings indicated that the Arctic region of European Russia was extremely cold but relatively dry and ice-free more than 30,000 years ago.?
26.What is the significance of the discovery??
A) It shows that modern humans lived in the Arctic more than 3,000 years ago.
B) It shows that Neanderthals lived in the Arctic more than 3,000 years ago.
C) It shows the oldest documented evidence for human presence at such high latitude.?
D) It shows human could use tools 30,000 years ago.?
27.Why the team believed that the four-foot mammoth tusk was the most important find??
A) Because it was the longest tusk ever found.?
B) Because there were signs left by human’s tools on it.?
C) Because there were grooves on it.?
D) Because there are not any mammoth tusk all over the world.?
28.When did the Neanderthals extinct??
A) More than 30,000 years ago.B) After 30,000 years ago.?
C) Before about 35,000 years ago.D) Some 13,000 to 14,000 years ago.?
29.Who were those toolmakers??
A) Neanderthals. B) Modern humans.C) Archaeologists. D) Not determined.?
30.What’s the weather like in the Arctic region of European Russia more than 30,000 years ago??
A) Moderate temperature, relatively dry and ice-free.?
B) Extremely cold, relatively dry and ice-free.?
C) Extremely cold, plenty of raining and ice-free.?
D) Extremely cold, relatively dry and ice frosted. ?
Passage 3
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?
After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question, “What do you do?” is always, “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife?” Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, washing and drying clothes, keeping the house clean, leading ascout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, music lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her favorite charity, and making sure that all our family needs are met is not JUST a housewife. She’ s the real Wonder Woman.?
Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society made “going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day??
I would be very curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needed. High boots would be required just to make it through the house scattered with garbage. Walking and bus riding would increase. Those scout troops would have to break up. Charities would suffer.?
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he might start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more household duties. There would be no more coming home to a prepared meal; he’d have to fix it himself. The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.?
No, I don’t think many males are going to volunteer for the job. I know I don’t want it. So, thanks, mom! I’ll do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives. It could be appropriately called Wonder Woman Day.?
31.By what means do the children of the author’s family go to school??
A) They take school bus.B) They take a taxi.?
C) Their mother drives for them.D) Scout troop sends them to school.
32.If a housewife went on strike, which one of the following statements is NOT true??
A) Children would scream for something to eat.?
B) No meals would appear on the table.?
C) The scout troops would have a wonderful time.?
D) The man of the house wouldn’t be able to take over.?
33.In the author’s opinion, ____.?
A) many males are going to volunteer for housewives’ work?
B) housewives deserve a national holiday named Wonder Woman Day?
C) the man of the house would be able to take over the housewives’ work?
D) housewives are second-class citizens or something similar ?
34.The author’s attitude toward housewives’ work is ____.?
A) critical B) indifferent C) ironical D) appreciative?
35.The main idea of the passage is about ____.?
A) housewives, the wonder women?
B) what would happen if housewives went on strike?
C) the replacement of women by men as housewives?
D) the setting up of a national holiday for housewives?
Passage 4
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?
Children are getting so fat they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday. ?
Today’s youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight. Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.?
At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38in and may be 42-44in by 2032.
This compares with only 32.6in in 1972. Women’s waists have grown from an average of 22in in 1920 to 24 ins in the Fifties and 30in now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obese ― double the number in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese. The obesity pandemic ― an extensive epidemic ― which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East. ?
Many nations now record more than 20 per cent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight. Prof Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments. ?
He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease. An averagely obese person’s lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more. ?
Prof Prentice said: “So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist?” The answer is yes ― and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US. Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health. So say No to that doughnut and burger.?
36.What does the word “sedentary (Para. 2)” mean??
A) sit still. B) eat too much. C) study very hardh. D) passive thinking.?
37.Which statement is TRUE??
A) The average waist size for a man is 36-38in.?
B) The average waist size for a woman is 30in.?
C) In the mid-Eighties, more than half million under-16s in the UK are classed as overweight.?
D) The obesity pandemic has now spread to South America.?
38.According to Prof Prentice, what are the reasons for the change in our shape??
A) We eat too much and refuse to do physical exercises.?
B) High-energy foods are easy to get and technology develops fast.?
C) High-energy foods are the main diet and we use technology.?
D) High-energy foods are easy to get and we consume less energy.?
39.Obesity increases the risk factor of ____.?
A) diabetes, short sight, cancer, strokes
B) diabetes, cancer, strokes, psychosocial illness?
C) cancer, strokes, fatty, heart disease
D) strokes, heart disease, diabetes, headache?
40.What does the author mean by “So say No to that doughnut and burger”??
A) Answering the question “will parents outlive their children?”.?
B) The doughnut and burger should be banned.?
C) We should lead a healthy life.?
D) We should begin dieting. ?

The poll by the China Youth Daily 26_______ sina.com has highlighted the apparent 27_______ over the country's widening income gap.
Nearly 8,000 people filled in online 28_______ last week, and when asked to use three words to describe the society's rich, the top 29_______ were “extravagant”, “greedy” and “corrupt”.
About 57 percent of those 30_______ said that “extravagant” was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by “greedy”.
31_______ , despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people should be “socially 32 _______”.

Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, 33 speak up for the poor but were 34_______ to take action and actually do something for them.
The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi, who said a couple of days ago that he was speaking for the rich and working for the poor.
A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient-an indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in .
An earlier Chinese Academy of Social Sciences report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent in the country share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.

根据答案，回答46-55题。
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
How and When Did Daylight Saving Time Start?
A.Benjamin Franklin--of “early to bed and early to rise” fame-was apparently the first person to suggest the concept of daylight savings. While serving as U.S. ambassador to France in Paris, Franklin wrote of being awakened at 6 a.m. and realizing, to his surprise, that the sun would rise far earlier than he usually did. Imagine the resources that might be saved if be and others rose before noon and burned less midnight oil, Franklin,tongue half in cheek, wrote to a newspaper.
B.It wasn't until World War I that daylight savings were realized on a grand scale. Germany was the first state to adopt the time changes, to reduce artificial lighting and thereby save coal for the war effort. Friends and foes soon followed suit. In the U.S. a federal law standardized the yearly start and end of daylight saving time in 1918--for the states that chose to observe it.
C.During World War II the U.S. made daylight saving time mandatory (强制的) for the whole country, as a way to save wartime resources. Between February 9, 1942, and September 30, 1945, the government took it a step further. During this period daylight saving time was observed year-round, essentially making it the new standard time, if only for a few years. Many years later, the Energy Policy Act of was enacted, mandating a controversial month-long extension of daylight saving time, starting in .
Daylight Saving Time: Energy Saver or Just Time Suck?
D.In recent years several studies have suggested that daylight saving time doesn't actually save energy-and might even result in a net loss. Environmental economist Hendrik Wolff, of the University of Washington, coauthored a paper that studied Australian power-use data when parts of the country extended daylight saving time for the Sydney Olympics and others did not. The researchers found that the practice reduced lighting and electricity consumption in the evening but increased energy use in the now dark mornings--wiping out the evening gains. That's because the extra hour that daylight saving time adds in the evening is a hotter hour. “So if people get home an hour earlier in a warmer house, they turn on their air conditioning,” the University of Washington's Wolff said.
E. But other studies do show energy gains. In an October 2008 daylight saving time report to Congress, mandated by the same 2005 energy act that extended daylight saving time, the U.S. Department of Energy asserted that springing forward does save energy. Extended daylight saving time saved 1.3 terawatt (太瓦) hours of electricity. That figure suggests that daylight saving time reduces annual U.S. electricity consumption by 0.03 percent and overall energy consumption by 0.02 percent. While those percentages seem small, they could represent significant savings because of the nation's enormous total energy use.
F. What's more, savings in some regions are apparently greater than in others. California, for instance, appears to benefit most from daylight saving time--perhaps because its relatively mild weather encourages people to stay outdoors later. The Energy Department report found that daylight saving time resulted in an energy savings of one percent daily in the state.
G.But Wolff, one of many scholars who contributed to the federal report, suggested that the numbers were subject to statistical variability (变化) and shouldn't be taken as hard facts. And daylight savings' energy gains in the U.S. largely depend on your location in relation to the Mason-Dixon Line, Wolff said.“The North might be a slight winner, because the North doesn't have as much air conditioning,” he said. “But the South is a definite loser in terms of energy consumption. The South has more energy consumption under daylight saving.”
Daylight Saving Time: Healthy or Harmful?
H. For decades advocates of daylight savings have argued that, energy savings or no, daylight saving time boosts health by encouraging active lifestyles--a claim Wolff and colleagues are currently putting to the test. “In a nationwide American time-use study, we're clearly seeing that, at the time of daylight saving time extension in the spring, television watching is substantially reduced and outdoor behaviors like jogging, walking, or going to the park are substantially increased,” Wolff said. “That's remarkable, because of course the total amount of daylight in a given day is the same. ”
I. But others warn of ill effects. Till Roermeberg, a university professor in Munich (慕尼黑), Germany, said his studies show that our circadian (生理节奏的) body clocks--set by light and darkness--never adjust to gaining an “extra” hour of sunlight to the end of the day during daylight saving time.
J. One reason so many people in the developed world are chronically (长期地) overtired, he said, is that they suffer from social jet lag. “ In other words, their optimal circadian sleep periods don't accord with their actual sleep schedules. Shifting daylight from morning to evening only increases this lag, he said. ”Light doesn't do the same things to the body in the morning and the evening. More light in the morning would advance the body clock, and that would be good. But more light in the evening would even further delay the body clock. “
K.Other research hints at even more serious health risks. A 2008 study concluded that, at least in Sweden, heart attack risks go up in the days just after the spring time change. ”The most likely explanation to our findings is disturbed sleep and disruption of biological rhythms,“ One expert told National Geographic News via email. Daylight Savings' Lovers and Haters
L. With verdicts (定论) on the benefits, or costs, of daylight savings so split, it may be no surprise that the yearly time changes inspire polarized reactions. In the U.K., for instance, the Lighter Later movement--part of I0:10,a group advocating cutting carbon emissions--argues for a sort of extreme daylight savings. First, they say, move standard time forward an hour, then keep observing daylight saving time as usual--adding two hours of evening daylight to what we currently consider standard time. The folks behind Standardtime.com, on the other hand, want to abolish daylight saving time altogether, calling energy-efficiency claims ”unproven. “
M. National telephone surveys by Rasmussen Reports from spring and fall deliver the same answer.Most people just ”don't think the time change is worth the hassle (麻烦的事). “ Forty-seven percent agreed with that statement, while only 40 percent disagreed. But Seize the Daylight author David Prerau said his research on daylight saving time suggests most people are fond of it. ”1 think if you ask most people if they enjoy having an extra hour of daylight in the evening eight months a year, the response would be pretty positive.“
46、Daylight savings' energy gains might be various due to different climates.
47、Disturbed sleep and disruption of biological rhythms may be the best explanation to higher heart attack risks in the days after the spring time change.
48、A research indicated that DST might not save energy by increasing energy use in the dark mornings, though it reduced lighting and electricity consumption in the evening.
49、Germany took the lead to save wartime resources by adopting the time changes and reducing artificial lighting.
50、A university professor studied the effect of daylight saving time and sounded the alarm of its negative effects.
51、Social jet lag can partly account for people's chronic fatigue syndrome in developed countries.
52、The figure of a study in the U.S. suggested that DST could save a lot of energy nationally.
53、Supporters of daylight savings have long considered daylight saving time does good to people's health.
54、A group advocating cutting carbon emissions launches the Lighter Later movement to back a kind of extreme daylight savings.
55、A scholar contributing to a federal report suggested that the amount of saved energy had something to do with geographic position.

根据下列短文，回答56-60题。
The unique human habit of taking in and employing animals--even competitors like wolves--spurred on human tool-making and language, which have both driven humanity's success, Pat Shipman says, paleoanthropologist of Penn State University. ”Wherever you go in the world, whatever ecosystem (生态系统), whatever culture, people live with animals,“ Shipman said.
For early humans, taking in and caring for animals would seem like a poor strategy for survival. ”On the face of it, you are wasting your resources. So this is a very weird behavior,“ Shipman said. But it's not so weird in the context something else humans were doing about 2.6 million years ago: switching from a mostly vegetarian diet to one rich in meat. This happened because humans invented stone hunting tools that enabled them to compete with other top predators. Quite a rapid and bizarre switch for any animal. So we invented the equipment, learned how to track and kill, and eventually took in animals who also knew how to hunt--like wolves and other canines. Others, like goats, cows and horses, provided milk, hair and, finally, hides and meat.
Managing all of these animals--or just tracking them--requires technology, knowledge and ways to preserve and convey information. So languages had to develop and evolve to meet the challenges. Tracking game has even been argued to be the origin of scientific inquiry, said Peter Richerson, professor emeritus (名誉退休的) in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis. One of the signs that this happened is in petroglyphs (史前岩画) and other rock art left by ancient peoples. At first they were abstract, geometric patterns that are impossible to decipher (破译). Then they converge on one subject: animals.
There have also been genetic changes in both humans and our animals. For the animals those changes developed because human bred them for specific traits, like a cow that gives more mill or a hen that lays more eggs. But this evolutionary influence works both ways. Dogs, for instance, might have been selectively taken in by humans who shared genes for more compassion, Those humans then prospered with the dogs' help in hunting and securing their homes.
56、What do we learn from the first paragraph about animals?
A.Animals have driven humanity's success.
B.Tool-making and language are uniquely human habits.
C.Employing wolves is uniquely human habit.
D.People live with animals everywhere.
57、Why did Shipman say taking in animal is a poor strategy for survival?
A.Early humans were poor in survival resources.
B.Taking in animal was a very weird behavior.
C.Early humans didn't know how to track and kill.
D.Early humans switched from a vegetarian diet to meat.
58、Why did languages have to develop and evolve to meet the challenges?
A.Early humans should have communication in tracking game.
B.Language can enable humans to compete with other top predators.
C.Animals should understand the orders given by humans.
D.Language could give a rapid and bizarre switch for any animal.
59、What do we learn from the statement of Pat Shipman and Peter Richerson?
A.Caring for animals seemed common after people invented tools.
B.After language developed early humans learned how to track and kill.
C.Managing and tracking animals are the origin of modem science.
D.Language developed from abstract to specific because of animals.
60、What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Animals changes are developed by themselves.
B.Human bred animals for specific genes.
C.Evolutionary influence works on both humans and animals.
D.Genes could make the dogs help people in hunting.

篇5：6月英语六级阅读理解考前模拟题
Passage Three
A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the narratives of the games are analyzed they can be seen to fall into some genres. The two genres most popular with the children I interviewed were ‘Platformers’ and ‘Beat-them-ups.’ Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform, avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children’s cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls of a cliff but walks away unscathed.
Controversy has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children’s everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after prolonged exposure to these games. Playing computer games involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive ‘yells’ at the screen. It is not only the ‘Beat-them-up’ games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their ‘lives’ and ‘die’ just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination. When the player loses and the words ‘Game over’ appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming ‘addictive’: the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have ‘one last go’ in the hope of doing better next time.
Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve(自中国教育文摘www.edUzhai.net，请保留此标记。) children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to anti-social behavior, make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability.
11. What is the topic of this article?
[A] How does playing computer games affect the level of violence in children
[B] There is no difference between Platform games and ‘Beat-Them-Ups’.
[C] How to control anger while playing computer games
[D] How to make children spend less time on computer games
12. Which of the following games is supposed to contain violent content?
[A] Sonic
[B] Super Mario
[C] Platformer
[D] Beat-Them-Up
13. What does unscathed (Paragraph 1, Last line) probably mean?
[A] unsettled
[B] unbeaten
[C] unharmed
[D] unhappy
14. According to the second paragraph, how does violence relate to playing computer games?
[A] When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.
[B] Beat-Them-Ups are more popular with children therefore more likely to produce violent behavior.
[C] People who have good hand-eye-coordination tend to be more violent than others.
[D] The violent content in the games gets children addicted to the games.
15. According to the author, why do video games lead to violence more than TV or movies?
[A] Because children cannot tell fiction from reality.
[B] Because children like to act out the scenes in the games on the playground.
[C] Because computer games involve children more than TV or films.
[D] Because computer games can produce more anti-social behavior.
答案及解析
11. 答案是[A] How does playing computer games affect the level of violence in children
解析：文章的主题，可以从第一段中看出。作者开头就说，A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played(计算机游戏的内容遭到很多非议)。第二段开头，作者又用这样的话引出下文：Controversy has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children’s everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after prolonged exposure to these games.(计算机游戏引起争议，有部分原因是因为，小孩打游戏总是过了头，游戏已经渗透到他们生活中去。人们担心，孩子们因为打游戏时间过长，渐渐变的有暴力倾向。)第三段开头，作者说，Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality对计算机游戏的一些担心，来自于孩子无法辨别虚构世界和现实世界。可见，作者本文主要讨论的问题，是计算机游戏中的暴力给孩子们带来的影响。
12. 答案是[D] Beat-Them-Up
解析：该细节可以在文章第一段找到。文章第一段介绍了主要的两类电子游戏：Platformers和Beat-Them-Ups。前者包括Sonic和超级玛丽。后者是打游戏者作为游戏中的卡通人物的单人独斗类游戏，后者一般被认为有暴力内容。关键语句为Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content.
13. 答案是[C] unharmed
解析：可以根据上下文判断：文章第一段结尾，unscathed出现的语句为，In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children’s cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls of a cliff but walks away unscathed. (从很多方面来说，可以把电子游戏里的暴力和卡通片里的暴力比较：卡通片中的人物被击中脑袋，或者从悬崖上掉下去，也可以毫发无损地走开。)只有[C]正确。其他选项，[A] unsettled：紊乱的，无人居住的，东飘西荡的，不安定的。[B] unbeaten：未捣碎的，未被击败的;未被超越的;[D] unhappy：不快乐的，不幸福的，都是错误选项。
14. 答案是[A] When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.
解析：文章第二段介绍为什么沉迷于电子游戏中会使孩子们产生暴力倾向。作者先将本段内容在开头进行综述，小孩打游戏总是过了头，游戏已经渗透到他们生活中去。人们担心，孩子们因为打游戏时间过长，渐渐变的有暴力倾向。尤其是游戏即将失利的时候，玩家就会觉得沮丧，为自己曾经的失误气恼， 总想再来一次(have ‘one last go’)。作者说，Platforms和Beat-Them-Ups同样会使孩子们觉得失利后的沮丧，因此[B] 的说法，Beat-Them-Ups更受欢迎，因此更容易激发暴力行为，是错误的。[C] ，手眼协调出色的人更容易有暴力倾向，文章并没有相关内容。[D]，游戏中的暴力使得孩子们沉迷于游戏中，文章也没有这样的说法。作者认为，容易使孩子们沉迷于其中的，是他们自己玩游戏时候的失利，游戏结束时，看到GAME OVER，他们对自己在打那一局时所犯错误的懊恼。
15. 答案是[C] Because computer games involve children more than TV or films.
解析：问的是为什么电子游戏比电影和电视更容易激发孩子们的暴力行为。解题的关键语句是The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior.电子游戏比电影或电视都更容易让孩子们有身临其境的参与感，从而对他们的社会行为影响更大。容易错选成[A]，孩子们分不清虚构和现实世界，这虽然是文章原句，但这并不是作者想引出的游戏和影视的根本区别。[D]是打游戏的结果，并不是作者想探究的，为什么游戏比影视更容易让孩子产生暴力行为的原因。

篇6：大学英语六级阅读理解模拟题
阅读理解：Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage 1
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages i First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.?
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.?Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.?
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. ?Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterw ards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.
21.In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except ____
A) recognize and define the problem
B) look for information to make the problem clearer
C) have suggestions for a possible solution
D) find a solution by trial or mistake
22.By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to ____.
A) illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle
B) discuss the problems of his bicycle
C) tell us how to solve a problem
D) show us how to analyze a problem
23.Which of the following is NOT true?
A) People do not analyze the problem they meet.
B) People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.
C) People may learn from their past experience
D) People cannot solve some problems they meet.
24.As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means ____.
A) in the long run B) in detail C) in a word D) in the end
25.What is the best title for this passage?
A) Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s Bicycle.
B) Possible Ways to Problem-solving.
C) Necessities of Problem Analysis.
D) Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem.
篇7：6月大学英语六级翻译模拟题
【国人消费观】
70年代，中国人曾以有一件外国衬衣和一块进口电子手表而自豪。那时候，国产商品在外观和功能方面无疑都远远逊色于外国品牌产品。“崇洋媚外”在中国消费者心里打下了烙印。随着中国的现代化科技、经济和国力的发展，今天的国产商品从外观、质量、科技含量等各个方面都得到了飞跃，不少产品已优于同类的外国品牌。中国消费者对外国品牌从仰视，到平视，最后甚至会俯视。消费者心理正在发生改变，逐步回归理性消费。
In the 1970s, Chinese people were proud of owningan imported shirt and an imported electronic watch.At that time, domestic products were inferior toproducts of foreign brands both in appearance andfunction. The idea of worshipping and having blindfaith in foreign things has been deeply rooted in the Chinese consumers. With the developmentof modern science and technology, economy and national strength in China, domestic productsat present have made a leap in appearance, quality, elements of science and technology. Manydomestic products are even superior to the similar products in foreign brands. Chinesepeople's attitude toward foreign products has changed from admiration to objectiveness, andfinally even to contempt. The psychology of consumers is changing and people are graduallycoming back to rational consumption.
【献茶礼仪】
当今社会，客来敬茶已经成为人们日常社交和家庭生活中普遍的往来礼仪。俗话说：酒满茶半。上茶时应以右手端茶，从客人的右方奉上，并时带微笑。当然，喝茶的客人也要以礼还礼，双手接过，点头致谢。品茶时，讲究小口品饮，其妙趣在于意会而不可言传。另外，可适当称赞主人茶好。总之，敬茶是国人礼仪中待客的一种日常礼节，也是社会交往的一项内容，不仅是对客人、朋友的尊重，也能体现自己的修养(self-cultivation)。
参考译文:
Nowadays, offering tea to guests has becomecommon etiquette in daily social interaction andfamily life. As the saying goes, white spirit, full cup; tea, half cup. Tea cup should be held on the righthand and offered to guests with a smile from theirright side. Of course,the guests should pay respect as well, taking over the cup with both hands and nodding to express his thanks. When tasting tea,you should drink it in small sips, the beauty and fun of which is beyond words. In addition, you could praise the tea of theowner appropriately. In short, offering tea is a daily ritual of Chinese people when receivingguests and it is also part of social interaction. It can not only show respect to guests andfriends, but also reflect your self-cultivation.
【低碳生活】
低碳生活(low-carbon life)对于我们普通人来说是一种态度，我们应该积极提倡并去实践，从自己做起，从节约水电这些点滴做起。除了植树，有的人买运输里程很短的商品，还有人坚持爬楼梯，形形色色，非常有趣。“低碳生活”的理念逐渐被世界各国所接受。低碳生活的出现不仅告诉人们可以为减碳做些什么，还告诉人们可以怎么做。在这种生活方式逐渐兴起的时候，大家开始关心自己每天是否为减碳做了什么。
参考译文：
Low-carbon life is an attitude for ordinary people,and we should actively advocate and practice low-carbon life by doing it from ourselves and by starting bit by bit from saving water and electricity.Besides planting trees,some people purchase goods within a short delivery distance and others stick to climbing stairs.People do various things to live a low-carbon life,which is really interesting.”Low-carbon life" concept has gradually been accepted worldwide.The emergence of low-carbon lifestyle not only introduces to people what they can do for carbon reduction,but also tells them how they can do it.As this lifestyle gradually becomes popular,people begin to ask themselves whether they have contributed something to carbon reduction every day.
篇8：大学英语六级作文预测模拟题
1.打破舒适生活
Disrupting My Comfort Zone
I was 45 years old when I decided to learn how to surf. They say that life is tough enough. But I guess I like to make things difficult on myself, because I do that all the time, every day and on purpose. That's because I believe in disrupting my comfort zone. When I started out in the entertainment business, I made a list of people that I thought would be good to me. Not people who could give me a job or a deal, but people who could shake me up, teach me something, challenge my ideas about myself and the world. So I started calling up experts in all kinds of fields. Some of them were world-famous. Of course, I didn't know any of these people and none of them knew me.
So when I called these people up to ask them for a meeting, the response wasn't always friendly.
And even when they agreed to give me some of their time, the results weren't always what one might describe as pleasant. Take, for example, Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb. It took me a year of begging and more begging to get to him to agree to meet with me. And then what happened? He ridiculed me and insulted me.But that was okay. I was hoping to learn something from him―and I did, even if it was only that I'm not that interesting to a physicist with no taste for our pop culture. Over the last 30 years, I've produced more than 50 movies and 20 television series. I'm successful and, in my business, pretty well known. So why do I continue to subject myself to this sort of thing? The answer is simple: Disrupting my comfort zone, bombarding myself with challenging people and situations ―this is the best way that I know to keep growing. And to paraphrase a biologist I once met, if you're not growing, you're dying. So maybe I'm not the best surfer on the north shore, but that's okay. The discomfort, the uncertainty, the physical and mental challenge that I get from this―all the things that too many of us spend our time and energy trying to avoid―they are precisely the things that keep me in the game.
2.能力与外貌
Abilities and Good Looks
We are often told not to judge people by their appearance, because for a person, abilities are far more important than appearance. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of outstanding people with remarkable achievements who are just plain or not good-looking at all.
However, nowadays some people hold the belief that appearance outweighs abilities, partly because some beautiful people seem to have advantages in competitive situations like job interviews and have been given more opportunities than others.
Nevertheless, I still firmly believe that abilities are more important. For one thing, although good looks are easy on the eye, it is always one's abilities that create values that really matter. For another, while people's good looks were born to them, abilities have to be gained through deliberate self-cultivation and years of hardworking which speak more of people's true colors. Last but not least, abilities grow over time while good looks only fade. Eventually, it is the abilities that help people succeed, so it is safe to say that abilities will always bring more to life than good looks.
篇9：大学英语六级写作考前热点
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should We Worship Celebrities? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1、我们是否应当崇拜名人?明确阐述你的观点;
2、从正反两方面具体论述你的观点。
Should We Worship Celebrities?
Celebrities have excelled in their respective fields and made a place for themselves in the society. Actors, athletes, rock stars and even politicians whom we look up to are all celebrities. However, achievement in careers does not necessarily make celebrities idols to be worshipped blindly, as they think and make mistakes too as we common people do.
Having a role model is of no harm, but we should not imitate everything we hear about the celebrities without any judgment. Learn from the celebrities with our minds open; do not let their persona overshadow our judgment. We should remember that however extraordinary these people are, they are also ordinary huamn beings and liable to make mistakes or even very bad decisions at some point of their life. For example, a number of athletes and rock stars have been associated with drugs. It is for us to decide what we should imbibe from them a.
Meanwhile, though the celebrities are at the zenith of their professions, it is not always necessary that they are as good in their personal life. We should let their actions speak for them. What they do in real life is more important than what they preach. An ordinary man on the street, though unknown to the public, may be a better person than they are.

请考生们明确考试时间，合理安排。提前30分钟到达考场。
三、文具、证件准备
考试当天的文具要准备充分。带好考试需要的一切证件和文具。证件包括身份证、准考证和学生证。考试文具包括2b铅笔、橡皮和黑色签字笔。建议大家准备用两三支2b的木头铅笔，注意不要使用活动铅笔。特别注意要使用黑色字迹签字笔，准备至少两支，有备无患。在填涂的时候一定要注意要覆盖整个选框，尽量用力一点，如果涂得太淡机器是无法识别的。
四、答题顺序
考生在答卷时，要按照机读卡的顺序答题。答题时间共125分钟。考试开始后，考生首先在答题卡1上完成写作部分。30分钟后，监考员发试题册，考生在接着的15分钟内完成快速阅读理解部分的试题。然后，监考员收回答题卡1。考生在答题卡2上完成其余部分的试题。
注意：答题过程中，考生必须在答题卡上作答，在试题册上作答无效。所有选择性试题务必用2b浓度的铅笔划线作答；所有非选择性试题（即写作、填空等）务必用黑色字迹签字笔作答。
五、早餐准备
建议大家在考试当天早餐应吃一些比较清淡的食品。比如：鸡蛋、稀饭、面包等等。这样在长达两个半小时的考试中会感觉舒服一些，还不会感到饥饿感，使大家在考试中充分发挥出自己的水平。另外，考生可以自带一瓶白水，放在桌子底下。因为喝饮料会越喝越渴，最后影响做题效率，就不好了。所以白水是不错的选择。
注意事项
·考生须携带本人的准考证和身份证准时到规定的候考室报到，逾时15分钟不得进考场。
·考生如发现准考证上的姓名有误，请在正式开考前将修改后的准考证交给主考，由主考按身份证上的姓名核对并签名确认。

2015年12月英语六级翻译模拟题：中国骄傲――算盘
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
算盘(abacus)是中国传统的计算工具，也是中国古代的一项重大发明。阿拉伯数字出现以前，算盘在世界各地广泛使用。算盘是矩形的木框，木框上固定着带算珠的木杆。木框中间的横梁(beam)将木杆分成两部分：木杆上方的两颗算珠 (counting beads)每个代表5,下方的五颗算珠每个代表1。随着算盘的应用，人们总结出很多计算技巧，提高了计算速度。由于算盘易于制造，而且计算口诀易于记忆和操作，因此算盘在中国十分流行。
参考译文：
As a traditional Chinese calculation tool and an important ancient Chinese invention,the abacus was widely used before the invention of Arabic numerals in the world. The abacus is a rectangle with a wooden frame. Within the frame,rods with stringed beads are fixed. The beam in the middle of the frame divides each rod into two parts. The two counting beads in the upper part of each rod represent five and the rest five beads in the lower part represent one. With the application of the abacus, people summarized many calculation tips to help improve the speed of calculation. As the abacus is simple to produce, and its calculation tips are easy to memorize and operate, it is quite popular in China.
词句点拨
1.广泛使用:可以用被动语态表示“被广泛使用”，即be widely used。
2.带算珠的木杆:可译为rods with stringed beads。其中rod意为“木杆”，stringed 意为“用带或绳绑或挂的”，beads意为“珠子”，故stringed beads意为“串起来的珠子”。
3.上方：即in the upper part;“下方”可译为in the lower part。
4.随着算盘的应用:可译为 with the application of the abacus。
