2016年6月大学英语六级考试模拟题及答案(八)

　　In making his decision about how to live in the United States, the foreign student is smart to consider one or two disadvantages to live with an American family. First of all, he must realize that he is going to feel homesick at first. Living in an American home with people of other language and culture may cause this feeling to increase. Also, the American family could become very protective of him. They may ask him where he is going, when he leaves home and when he will return. Despite of these two disadvantages, there is a stronger argument in favor of living with Americans.

　　By living in an American home, the student has an opportunity to become familiar with American customs and culture. For instance, he will learn the importance of family closeness. He can see how the children communicate with their parents and how the parents educate their children. He will not feel like a stranger because the American family will help him adjusting to a new life. In an American home, he can learn English fast. Family members can help him with his homeworks.

　　When he speaks English, they can point out his errors. In this way, he can learn English naturally.

　　Although there are some disadvantage to live with an American family, there are heavier benefits. If the foreign student at first realizes the value of learning about a new culture and improving his English at the same time, he will find studying there a very big experience.

　　Part Ⅱ

　　本文主要介绍了伦敦一个名叫 Caledonian Market的旧货市场的“繁荣”景象。无论任何人，无论你身处何方，如果你有兴趣的话，都可以到这个市场上转一转。在这里，成千上万间的房子里堆满了各种各样的旧货，从破花瓶到旧乐器，从坏缝纫机到不能使用的计程器，从旧自行车到旧书等等，应有尽有。人类需要的怪诞性在这个市场上被表现得淋漓尽致。文中还列举了在该旧货市场“废中寻宝”的例子。

　　21. 答 案B。

　　【参考译文】 下列哪一个标题最能概括文章的中心 ?

　　【试题分析】 本题考查对文章主旨的把握。

　　【详细解答】 这篇短文主要反映的是伦敦旧货市场兴旺发达的情况，那么它的标题也应该是反映这一情况的主题。 B)一个著名的旧货市场的写照，这个答 案正确。A)为什么人们买他们要买的东西，这个标题不能表达本文的主题思想。 C)痴迷好奇心的原因。到旧货市场去逛一逛，买买东西，是一种娱乐或者是消遣，到那里去猎奇并不是旧货 市场兴旺发达的主要原因，也不能反映主题。 D)顶楼的垃圾发生了什么?这一项所反映的也是局部情况，不能反映主题。

　　22. 答 案B。

　　【参考译文】 在 Caledonican Market上出售的货物……

　　【试题分析】 此题考查学生根据材料中某些事实进行推断的能力。

　　【详细解答】 在 Caledonian Market出售的物品每周有两次到货，这一情况可从下面一段文字里反映出来：Junk pours in twice a week, year in and year out. A)用来观赏。这些各式各样的物品主要用来出售而不是观赏，如文章所述：Somebody, somewhere, wanted these things, perhaps just to look at.(某地某人需要这些东西，或许只是看看而已。)这种说法不全面，不合题意。B)每年收集50次，每星期两次，一年就是100次。这一说法符合要求，故为正确答 案。C)反映了模糊不清的需要和愿望。这种说法不对，物品没有情感，不会有要求和愿望，只有人才有需求与希望，如：You learn here the incredible obscurity of human needs and desires.(你会了解到人们的需求，多令人难以置信和模糊不清。)。D)给买主带来财富。事实上，在旧货市场买东西不一定会给所有买主带来财富，只是偶尔有发财的机会，这种情况极少。
