2019英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案（6）
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
There is a certain inevitability that ebook sales have now overtaken paperback sales on Amazon's US site. Amazon's Kindle 2 is so light and so cheap that it's easy to see why people have rushed to buy it. Though I'm still not keen on
the design of the Kindle, it is a vast improvement on its predecessor and certainly tolerable. Beyond the device itself, Amazon has done a great job of rolling out Kindle apps, ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a
Kindle-can still join in the fun. Once you're into the Kindle ecosystem, Amazon locks you in tightly-just as Apple does
with its iTunes/ iPod ecosystem. It's so easy to buy from Amazon's store and the books are so cheap that it's not worth the effort of going elsewhere.
While I remain opposed to Amazon's DRM (数字版权管理)-indeed, I'm opposed to DRM on any ebooks-I have to admit that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle users won't care at all that their ebooks can't be moved to other devices.
The ebook trend is nowhere near peaking. Over the next five years we can expect to see more and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead. But I
don't think that will mean the death of the printed book.
There are some who prefer printed books. They like
having shelves filled with books they've read and books they plan to read; they like the feel of the book in their hands
and the different weights and typefaces and layouts of different titles. In other words, they like the physical form of the book almost as much as the words it contains.
I can sympathise with those people. As I wrote earlier this week, my ideal situation would be for publishers to bundle ebooks with printed ones-in much the same way that
film studios btmdie DVDs with digital copies of films.
There's no reason to think that lovers of printed books will change their minds. There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because more people will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones. However, just as there are people who love vinyl records(黑胶唱片), even if they were born well into the CD era, there will still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.
Since there are fewer of these people, that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices for printed books but I
don't think the picture is entirely bleak. There is scope for smaller print runs of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at book lovers, rather than the Stieg Larsson-reading masses. With mainstream readers out of the printed book market, book lovers might even find they get a better experience.
56. What can be inferred from Paragraph One?
A．Most people buy Kindle 2 mainly because of its low price.
B．The author of the passage is a loyal customer of Apple products.
C．Amazon's Kindle 2 surpassed Kindle 1 in designing.
D．The sales of ebook outnumbered those of paperback in the U. S.
57. According to the passage, the reason why the author opposes to Amazon's DRM is that ______
A．ebooks can only be purchased on Amazon. com
B．Kindle books are not compatible with other electronic reading devices
C．once implemented, ebooks can't be transferred to other equipments
D．ebooks installed on Kindle 2 can't be edited freely
58. It can be learned that the trend of ebooks______
A．will come to stop any time soon
B．will reach the summit in the near future
C．will meet its heyday when printed books die
D．has already reached its peak
59. Why does the author believe that the surging sales of ebooks won't mean the death of the printed book?
A．Because a minority will stick to their love of printed books.
B．Because the majority of book lovers won't change their minds.
C．Because people always hold nostalgic feelings towards printed books.
D．Because people will return to the printed books as time goes by.
60. According to the author, which of the following is TRUE about the future of printed books?
A．They will be bundled with ebooks.
B．They will no longer be available in the market.
C．They will be sold in small quantity and high quality.
D．They will be redesigned to cater to the masses.
56．C)。定位：由题干提示定位到第一段第三句：Though I'm
still not keen Oil the design of the Kindle，it is a vast improvement Oil its predecessor and certainly tolerable．
详解：推理判断题。本题考查对第一段的理解。定位句指出“即
使我还是对Kindle的设计提不起兴趣．但较之第一代确实有了相当
大的改进，还是非常不错的”，即Kindle 2在设计上要优于Kindle l，故答案为 C)。A)“绝大部分人购买Kindle 2主要是因为其价格便宜”，文章第一段第二句指出“亚马逊的电子书Kindle 2 既轻薄又便宜，这也就不难理解人们为何会蜂拥购买”，而非仅仅因为价格原因，故排除；B)“本文作者是 APPLE产品的忠实顾客”，文章第一段第四
句提到作者有iPad而没有Kindle，但不能由此推出作者是APPLE 产
品的忠实顾客，为过度推断，故排除；D)“在美国，电子书的销量已
经超过了纸质书籍的销量”，第一段笫一句指出亚马逊美国站的电子
书籍销量远远超过纸质书籍，而非在全美国，故排除。
57．c)定位：由题干中的Amazon's DRM定位到第二段第一句：I have to admit that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle users won't care at all that their ebooks can’t be moved to other devices：
详解：事实细节题。本题考查作者对亚马逊的数字版权管理持反
对态度的原因。定位句提到“我不得不承认安装过程实在是太便捷了，以至于绝大部分Kindle用户并不介意电子书无法安装到其他设备上”，由此可知，电子书一旦安装后，不能够在其他设备上再次使用，C)中
的transfer，equipments分别对应定位句中的move和devices，故为答案。A)“电子书只能在亚马逊网站上购买”原文并未提及，故排除；
B)“Kindle电子书与其他电子阅读设备不兼容”是对定位句的曲解，故排除；D)“在Kindle 2上安装的电子书不能随意编辑” 原文并未
提及，故排除。
58．B)。定位：由题干中的trend of ebooks定位到原文第三段
第一句：The ebook trend is nowhere near Deaking．详解：事实
细节题。本题考查电子书的发展趋势。定位句提到，电子书的发展趋
势正在无限接近顶峰。换言之，电子书的发展趋势很快就会接近顶峰，故B)为答案。A)“电子书的发展趋势很快就会停下来”、C) “电子书的发展趋势在纸质书消失时将达到顶峰”和D)“电子书的发展趋势已
经达到顶峰”均为定位句的曲解，故排除。
59．A)。定位：由题干中的the death of the printed book定
位到第五段最后一句：However，just as there are people who
love vinyl records，even if they were born well into the CD era，there will still be a dedicated minority who love
physical books．
详解：事实细节题。本题考查作者认为电子书不会造成纸质书籍
消亡的原因。定位句提到“不过，正如有些生活在CD时代却依然热爱
黑胶唱片的人一样，会有少数人仍然坚定地爱着纸质书”，由此可知，仍有一部分人会坚持购买纸质书籍，故答案为A)。第五段第四句指出“随着时间的流逝，这群人的数量无疑会减少，因为更多的人将养成
电子阅读习惯，在纸质书上花费的时问将越来越少”，由此可知绝大
部分书籍爱好者会改变阅读习惯，而非坚持原来的选择，故排除
B)“绝大部分纸质书籍爱好者不会改变选择”；C)“因为人们对于纸
质书籍总是抱有怀旧情怀”和D)“随着时间的流逝，人们会重新选择
阅读纸质书籍”，在原文中均未提及，故排除。
60．C)。定位：由题干中的the future of printed books和选
项定位到最后一段第二句：There is scope for smaller print runs of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at
book lovers．rather than the Stieg Larsson—reading masses．
详解：事实细节题。本题考查纸质书的发展趋势。由定位句可知，面向大众群体的斯泰格拉尔森式阅读将被淘汰，取而代之的是针对爱
书者而设的装帧精美、数量不多的印刷本和书店。C)中的small quantity和better quality分别对应原文的smaller print，
lavishly designed，故为答案。第五段第一句提到“理想的情况是出
版商把电子书和印刷本捆绑出售”，而非未来的趋势，A)“纸质书籍
会和电子书捆绑出售”为过度推断，故排除；第五段最后一句指出
“还会有一小部分人购买纸质书籍”，故排除B)“纸质书籍会从市场
上消失”；D)“纸质书籍会迎合大众做出调整”原文并未提及，故排除。

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 Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may be the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch (键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向……透露) the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (耍弄) the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants,

Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science, most are reluctant to post the results of their own labors online. Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists, for example, post DNA sequence sat the GenBank repository (库) , and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from, say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some500 million objects—but these remain the excepti on, not the rule. Historically, scientists have objected to sharing for many reasons: it is a lot of work; until recently, good databases did not

2007年12月英语六级阅读真题及答案
2007年12月大学英语六级考试真题 Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. Like most people, I’ve long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person. Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people. I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned (示意) me back with his finger minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been. I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂工) plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served. Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked — cordially. I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me. My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry. It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t g et the difference between server and servant. I’m now applying to graduated school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want, I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them. 52. The author was disappointed to find that _______. [A] one’s position is used as a gauge to measure one’s intelligence [B] talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job [C] one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person [D] professionals tend to look down upon manual workers 53. What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph? [A] Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them. [B] People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded. [C] Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances. [D] Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all. 54. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19? [A] She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional. [B] She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon. [C] She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her. [D] She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior. 55. What does the author imply by saying “…many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant”(Lines 3-4, Para.7)? [A] Those who cater to others’ needs are destined to be looked down upon.

2018年12月英语六级阅读练习题及答案（五） Everyone has a moment in history, which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person ―the world today‖ or ―life‖ or ―reality‖ he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed(释放的)emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. For me, this momentfour years in a moment in historywas the war. The war was and is reality for me. I still instinctively live and think in its atmosphere. These are some of its characteristics: Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the president of the United States, and he always has been. The other two eternal world leaders are Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. America is not, never has been, and never will be what the song and poems call it, a land of plenty. Nylon, meat, gasoline, and steel are rare. There are too many jobs and not enough workers. Money is very easy to earn but rather hard to spend, because there isnt very much to buy.

英语六级阅读临战策略
距离大学英语六级考试还有不足一个月的时间，笔者给临战的考生朋友们一些建议。希望能通过本文帮大家梳理一个头绪，在最后的备战中尽量做到有的放矢，弹无虚发。 一、快速阅读。 大学六级中的第一道阅读题目是快速阅读，很多考生朋友都向笔者反映：快速阅读怎么做啊？拿到题目是先看文章还是先看题目啊？怎么我总是做不完题啊？有什么方法可以提高阅读速度啊？等等等等……这几个问题相信也是大家最关心的，那接下来，笔者将从六级快速阅读的命题特征，做题步骤，解题方法几个角度来谈谈如何攻克快速阅读。 1.六级快速阅读的命题特征。 六级快速阅读的文章篇幅约为1200单词，通常是略多一些的，整个题目的给定时间为15分钟。文章之后是十道题目，这十题可以会出现两种组合：一种为4道是非判断题(也就是大家所熟悉的Y/N/NG题)加上6道句子填空题(也可称补全句子)；另一种为7道选择题加上3道句子填空题。 至于考试最终会以哪种形式出题，在考纲中是没有明确说明的，从改革之后的几次实考情况来看，06年12月六级开始使用新题型，到09年6月的六级考试中，第一种题目组合形式考了两次，分别是06年12月和07年6月；第二种题目组合形式考了之后的四次。大家可以从以上的信息中来分配自己对于每种题型的复习时间。 2.六级快速阅读的做题步骤。 由于整个快速阅读部分总体时间为15分钟，如果不进行合理的规划，这样的时间是绝对不够用的。很多考生朋友会问到底应该以一种什么样的顺序来做题？我们先来了解一下在考试大纲中的说法： “要求考生运用略读和查读的技能从篇章中获取信息。略读考核学生通过快速阅读获取文章主旨大意或中心思想的能力，阅读速度约为每分钟120词。查读考核学生利用各种提示，如数字、大字单词、段首或句首词等，快速查找特定信息的能力。” 从考纲中我们发现，这里有三个重点信息：略读、查读、速度为120词/分钟。从这三点上我们基本上可以确实整体的步骤了，那就是选定信息+回到文章查找信息+对比解题。而且我们应该是看一题，做一题。这就是所谓的略读、查读。其实这正是我们平时所使用的从题干中找关键词，回文章定位的办法。快速阅读其实就是考定位。 而另外一个信息，阅读速度问题，表面上看到这个120词/分钟，很考生都望而却步，这绝对是一个无法企及的速度，但笔者提醒大家看它前面的文字，这样读的目的是为了获取文章主旨大意，而不是精细分析，于是结合大家以往所掌握的英语阅读知识应该知道，在英语中主旨的位置往往是相对固定的，想要把握1200个单词的文章的主旨根本不需要全文阅读，只需要看几个位置就可以了，如标题、首段、小标题。所以说这里的阅读速度应该更确切的讲是平均速度。
2011年6月大学英语六级阅读考试真题及答案_完美打印版
2011年6月大学英语六级真题及答案 Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. 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. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios: It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do? The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far. Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions. Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair. Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations. 47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________. 48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________. 49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution. 50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to set up a system for stories to __________. 51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?" situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid __________. Section B Directions: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 One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is
