阅读下短文，并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

Fat on human beings is distributed(分布)in different ways. Some fat people have a large stomach and no waistline-which makes them look round, rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, which makes them appear pear-shaped(梨形的).

There are two types of fat: external fat (fat under the skin)and internal fat (fat inside the boby wall). Doctors,who have been examining the relationship between health and fatness,have found that the `pears'have less internal fat, but the `apples'have more internal fat than external fat. This seems to be what causes the health problems.

The best treatment for fatness is to reduce the internal fat. But unfortunately it seems that dieting(节食)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no known way of reducing the internal rather than external fat.

61.The text is mainly about .

A.fatness and health

B.ways to lose weigh

C.people's figures

D.distribution of fat

62.Which of the following people is most likely to have health

problems?

63.When a pear-shaped person becomes thinner, he/she loses

more .

A.internal fat than external fat

B.external fat than internal fat

C.fat above the waist

D.fat below the waist

61.A 62.C 63.B

Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. "Oh no!" he thought to himself. "Another day at that office;a boss who shouts at me all the time."

As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. "Bigwoods Football Pools(足球赌博公司)would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds."

Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette(香烟)fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.

At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. "Please explain why you're so late," his boss said. "Go and jump in the lake," replied Frank. "I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye.Find yourself someone else to shout at."

That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar(雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men,neatly dressed in grey suits. "Mr Smithson," one of them said, "we're from Bigwoods Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"

The idea of fighting a noise by making more noise sounds strange , but that's exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.

Carmakers'research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing in more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise.

Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率)mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time with the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle(周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop

noise-killing systems both inside and outside the cars.

Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.

Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars in 1996. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will put it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.

67.Which of the following gives a general idea of how the

noise-killing system works?

A.By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction.

B.By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.

C.By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.

D.By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.

68.Besides its main function(功能)the noise-killing system

can .

A.make a car lighter

B.make a car quieter

C.reduce the cost of a silencer

D.improve the performance of a silencer

69.The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly

because .

A.it increases the cost of car production

B.carmakers are not sure if it is necessary

C.it is still being tried out

D.people still have their doubts

67.C 68.A 69.A

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless,but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family,was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.

By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many wellk-nown buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in thier houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire,Christopher Wren,the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul's.

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.

B.the palace

C.Pudding Lane

D.Thames Street

C.wife and husband

72.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact

that .

A.some people lost their lives

B.the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

C.many famous buildings were destroyed

D.the King's bakery was burned down

73.Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?

A.Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.

B.Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.

C.To show that poor people suffered most.

D.To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.

74.How was the fire put out according to the text?

A.The king and his soldiers came to help.

B.All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.

C.People managed to get enough water from the river.

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 One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,

2019年6月大学英语六级考试(全三套)

2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案（第1套） Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods. It’s not difficult for us to come up with se veral possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance. From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods. 【参考范文译文】俗话说，知识能改变命运。因此，为了获得知识，我们必须努力学习。然而，不可忽略的是，有效的学习既离不开学习动力的存在，也离不开科学的学习方法。不难列举上述观点的原因。首先，学习是一件严肃且困难的事。因此，不是每个人都能在没有某种内在动机的情况下一直继续。此外，科学的方法在提高学习效率方面发挥着重要的作用。我们当中有不少人都认为，学习的时间越长，成绩就会越好。但是我们周边同学的很多经历证明这个观点并不完全正确。具体来说，长时间的学习是累人的，因此它很可能会降低学习效率，而学习效率对于学业成绩来说却是至关重要的。综上所述，我们可以很容易就得出如下结论：学习动机和方法的重要性是不言而喻的，因此我们非常有必要形成良好的学习方法。

高校英语应用能力考试A级段落翻译专项练习

高校英语应用能力考试（A级）专项练习—段落翻译 1. The typical digital computer has five different units or sections, an input unit where information or orders go into the computer, a control unit which controls the actions of the computer in accordance with the input orders, a computation unit where the computation is carried out, a memory unit where information is stored, and an output unit which reports the results. 2. Only a few years ago, scientists had very vague ideas about electricity. Many of them thought of it as a sort of "fluid" that flowed through wires as water flows through pipes, but they could not understand what made it flow. Many of them felt that electricity was made up of tiny particles (微粒) of some kind, but trying to separate electricity into individual particles puzzled them. 3. China’s entry into WTO will encourage economic growth in ways that can benefit its trading partners, including the United States, directly. It will provide firms outside China with better access (进入) into one of the world’s largest, most dynamic markets, improving the allocation (分配，配置) of resources around the world. 4. The solar battery "make" electricity from sunlight. It is a new invention which had its first practical workout in 199 5. In that year a solar battery was placed on top of a telephone pole and connected to a telephone system. It furnishes enough electricity to operate several telephones. 5. Multimedia is not a new word. In fact, the concept of multimedia has been around for years. However, it appears that multimedia has finally started to play an increasing important role in today's computer world. Because of ever more powerful computer systems and the experience of creative programmers, multimedia is truly changing the way people are using computers. 6. E-mail lives somewhere between a phone call and a formal letter: it can be unprepared or carefully constructed. The trouble is that you cannot always be sure how the recipient (收件人) is going to interpret your message so it helps to be as clear as possible. You can do a few simple things to ensure that people won't be offended.
