　　2024年6月英语六级考试模拟题及答案（9）

　　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.

　　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 presence 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 that 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 far　north 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 a　scout 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 life styles 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 recentl　　y 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 occur　rence 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

　　Passage Two 短文大意

　　俄罗斯和挪威的考古学家在俄国极北部发现了石器，动物骨骼及一只带有石器凿痕的猛犸象长牙，这证明现代人类或尼安德特人曾在3万年前就已经生活在这一地区，比先前认定的提前了一万五千年。但有些考古学家虽然认为对这些发现的鉴定是正确的，但并不能证明这些石器与动物的骨殖属于同一年代。不管怎样，这些发现意义重大：如果制造这些石器的是尼安德特人，那么就证明他们比我们现在认为的要更为能干及适应环境;如果是现代人，那么在人类定居欧洲后，在如此短的时间内就能推进到极北地区，不能不说是非常令人惊讶的。

　　现在的孩子们正变得越来越胖，以至于他们可能成为先他们父母而去的一代。由于过度肥胖，现在的孩子们已经变成了一些潜在病魔的猎物，糖尿病就是其中之一。伦敦卫生及热带医学学院的安德鲁?普伦蒂斯教授认为，脂肪含量过高的快餐饮食，加上电视和电脑使得孩子们养成了久坐不动的生活方式，极有可能大大缩短年轻一代的寿命。与此同时，成人们正越长越胖。为什么现在的孩子们面临着比我们更大的危险呢?原因之一就在于，他们发胖的年龄比我们早得多。普伦蒂斯教授说，导致我们体形变化的原因是，现代生活中高热量食物随处可见，随手可得，而科技的发展使得人们每天消耗的热量却大大减少。如果下一代继续长胖，就有可能比他们的父母寿命还短。

　　Sample Writing

　　On Part-time Jobs

　　People have different views on whether college students should take part-time jobs. I think part- time jobs have both their advantages and disadvantages.

　　First, part-time jobs may offer students an opportunity to display their ability and help them apply their knowledge in practice, and in return, their experience will make them know better what they have learned in class and books.

　　Second, part-time jobs in business can foster a sense of competition, which they need in future. Part-time jobs make students more confident in themselves because through the work they can realize their own value and prove that they are capable　people.

　　Third, it helps students develop a sense of independence, and helps relieve their parents’ economic burdens. With the money earned, they can buy whatever they need for their study.　However, part-time jobs often distract students’ attention from their studies, and some students even play truant. It is evident that they can hardly focus　their attention on their study if they work several hours on the job, for they　may be preoccupied with how to improve their work most of the time. Though students who have part -time jobs may relieve their parents’ economic burdens, their　early contact with society may expose them to some social ills.

　　Owing to the advantages and disadvantages involved in working part-time, students have to strike a balance between their study and the job. The main task of students is to study hard and learn what is needed for their future career, social experience can be gained after graduation.
