Saying No to HighGas Prices Most motorists are simply bearing up againstsoaring gasoline prices. They may swear. They may complain. But they end upfilling up as always. Others, however, are fighting back as the nationheads into the spring driving season. Some are riding the busor train or arecarpooling (拼車(chē)). Some are giving up four wheels for two-ascooter (小型摩托車(chē)) or bicycle.Some are simply planningtheir trips more efficiently. Nationally, 84% of those responding to an AAAsurvey released earlier this month say they've changed theirroutines as aresult of soaring fuel prices. Better planning-combining errands into a singletrip-was the mostcommon way cited. Some 16% say they're less affected because theybought or leased a more fuel-efficient vehicle. Some are likeFleming Law ofIndian Harbour Beach, Fla., who is so proud of his Chevrolet Volt plug-inelectric car, which alsohas a gasoline motor, that he laughs off higher gasprices. "Haven't filled up since November. What's theprice of gas?" says Law, who's racked up more than 7,500 miles on hisVolt. He says be's filled up once since be's owned it. For the rest of us, gas prices are still an issue.The average price of regular gas is now within 20 cents lower agallon than therecord $4.114 set in July 2008. Regular averaged $3.921 a gallon on Thursday,up four cents from aweek ago and up about 33 cents, or 9%, from a year ago,according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Americans are finding diverse and novel ways tocope with those prices. Using scooters incommute Mike McWilliams bought a 2007 Yamaha Vino motorscooter to putt-putt to community college in Asheville, N. C., and to his jobat a doggy daycare center. He's studying to become a veterinary (獸醫(yī)) technician. "On the fiat, with a good tailwind (順風(fēng)), I can get it up to like 55 miles per hour," he says beforecorrecting himself. "Actually, that might be on a slightdownhill. " It's not speed that McWilliams seeks. A longtimemotorcyclist, he says he wanted a fun way to get around thecity while savingmoney. He's gone about 70 miles on the scooter's one-gallon tank. But it's afair-weatherstrategy. Otherwise, he takes his 1996 Saturn. Combining trips In Greenville, S.C., Michael Heaton is payingcloser attention to the rounds he makes. There's not much he can do, though, about the costof fuel for the mowers and weed trimmers he uses for his Greenville LawnMaintenance. His gasoline bill for them now is about $200 a month, he says. But he's trying to bum less gas through betterplanning. "Instead of just going somewhere and gettingsomething... I tryto do two or three things when I make a trip," he says. He's also stoppeddropping' off his mail atthe downtown post office. "I just stick it in mymailbox." Playing theircards right Karen Papp, 45, of Westland, Mich., gets about 30miles per gallon in her Hyundai Accent, but with a 60-miledaily commute, she'slooking to save. One way she and her husband have discovered: buying Shell giftcards attheir local Kroger supermarket. "Shell will give you the cashprice (at the pump) for buying with the gift card,"she says, which is afew cents cheaper than the credit card price. And Papp gets. bonus shoppingpoints at thegrocery by swiping her Kroger card at the pump. "I'm alwayslooking for a way to save." Pumping a bike,not gas As long as the wind chill stays above zero, you'llfind Kirk Wurscher pedaling his bike to work seven miles each day in SiouxFalls, S.D, He says at first it was a sometime thing, but"as gas prices went higher, I started doing it more." Then it becamea necessity. In 2010, one of his family's two cars died. His wife needed thesurvivor, so Wurscher found himself biking each day. Now, the family has two cars again, but Wurscher'scar stays parked five or six days a week. He might put 100 miles a month on thecar, vs. 500 on his bike. His cold-weather gear and his bike, which has racksand can carry 140 pounds of cargo, weren't cheap, he says. But with gas pricesgoing higher, the payoff is coming sooner. And there's the bonus: exercise. "It's morefun to ride a bike than drive a car," he says. "Ten or 12 years ago, Iwould have never said that." Downsizing (減小耗油量) to raise mileage (英里數(shù)) Chris Purnell of Berlin, Md., once drove aCadillac, but downsized to a Volkswagen Passat. "It burns less gas, and it's a lot cheaper tofill it up," he says while fueling the car at a Wawa station in West OceanCity, Md. Purnell, who works at a Food Lion supermarket, says he's been shakinghis head as gas prices rose steadily through the last four years. It was much the same story for Daria and ChristianSchneider of Middletown, N. J. With a second child on theway, they were fed upwith their 1999 Range Rover's 11 miles per. They traded it for a 2010 ToyotaRAV4. "Wereally needed to save that money with a baby coming," saysDaria, a stay-at-home mom. "That car had to go." Since buying the Toyota in September, they've beengetting double the mileage, about 22 miles per gallon. They estimate they'resaving at least $224 a month from what they were shelling out for the LandRover. "I think, before, people were freaking outabout the prices. But they've gone up so much. It's just reality. You just haveto find ways to deal with it," Daria says. Switching to thebus When Susan Lacke's Nissan Versa was totaled in awreck, she left the motoring world behind. Now, thewriter, teacher andresearcher in the Phoenix suburb of Ahwatukee rides the bus. "I decidednot to replace it, because the Phoenix Metro (public bus system) was soeasy-and cheaper than gas," she says. Lacke says the transition went well at first. Shehad been spending about $600 a month on auto payments, insurance, maintenanceand gasoline. Riding the bus costs just $40 a month, and she figures she canuse thesavings to pay off student loans. But she pays a price in time: Her14-mile commute from home to Arizona State University is up from 20 minutes toan hour each way. She says she tries to use the time productively. "I can get a lot of work done on the bus thatI can't do while driving," she explains. "So it gives me a jump-starton the day." In addition to the bus, Lacke, a triathlete, alsosometimes bikes or runs to campus. Buyelectricity instead Mechanical engineer and self-described "techgeek (狂人)" Law, who bought the Volt, says, "I don't care about theprice of gas. I don't look at it. My wife has to tell me. " He ordered the slate-colored compact car onlinefrom a New York dealer last spring, when it was still in limitedrelease, thenpaid roughly $500 to transport it to Florida. Round-trip, his daily commute toPalm Bay is about 25miles. That's within the electric-only range of the Volt,he says, so he uses virtually no gas getting to work. He estimates that his electric bill has increased$30 per month to recharge the vehicle each night. The Volt and other electricsdon't come, cheap, though. The car starts at $39,995 before governmentsubsidies (補(bǔ)貼). "I'm just a techie. I'm just a gadget freak.And it's by far the largest gadget I own," he said. 1.

Part IV ReadingComprehension (Reading in Depth)(25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a shortpassage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passagecarefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possiblewords. Please write youranswers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51are based on the following passage. Culture is the sum total of all the traditions,customs, beliefs, and ways of life of a given group of humanbeings. In thissense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilizedit may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist (人類學(xué)家), there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, justas to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy (等級(jí)制度) among languages. People once thought of the languages of backwardgroups as savage undeveloped forms of speech, consistinglargely of grunts andgroans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series ofgrunts and groans, it is afact established by the study of "backward"languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Mostlanguagesof uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex,delicate, and ingenious piecesof machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fallbehind our Western languages not in their sound patterns orgrammaticalstructures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but onlyin their vocabularies, whichreflect the objects and activities known to theirspeakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to benoted: 1. Alllanguages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either byputting together wordsalready in existence or by borrowing them from otherlanguages and adapting them to their own system. 2. Theobjects and activitiesrequiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, whiledifferent from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated, A Westernlanguage distinguishes merely between two degrees ofremoteness("this"and "that"); some languages of the American Indiansdistinguish between what is close to thespeaker, or to the person addressed, orremoved from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future. This study of language, in turn, casts a new lightupon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewedindependently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy. 47. According to the author, one culture orlanguage has no________ 48. It turns out that language systems used byuncivilized groups are complicated when________ 49. Vocabularies used by uncivilized groups hinderthe languages from developing as________ 50. In some "backward" languages, wordsfor the differences of remoteness are amazingly________ 51. In the opinion of anthropologist, the fight wayto study cultures is not to treat them with________
Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A),B),C) andD) . You should decide on thebestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a singleline through the centre. Passage One Questions 52 to 56are based on the following passage. The idea of public works projects as a device toprevent or control depression was designed as means ofcreating jobopportunities for unemployed workers and as a "pump priming" deviceto aid business to revive. Itwas conceived during the early year as of the NewDeal Era (1933-1937). By 1933, the number of unemployedworkers had reachedabout 13 million. This meant that about 50 million people-about one third ofthenation--were without means of support. At first, direct relief in the formof cash or food was provided for thesepeople. This made them recipients (接受者) of government charity. In order to remove this stigma (恥辱)and restore to the unemployed some measure of respectability andhuman dignity, a plan was devised to creategovernmentally sponsored workprojects that private industry would not or could not provide. This would also stimulateproduction and revive business activity. The best way to explain how this procedure isexpected to work is to explain how it actually worked when itwas first tried.The first experiment with it was the creation of the Works ProjectAdministration (WPA).This agency set up work projects in various fields inwhich there were many unemployed. For example, unemployed actors were organizedinto theater projects; orchestras were organized for unemployed musicians, teachingprojects for unemployed teachers, and even writers' projects for unemployedwriters. Unemployedlaborers were put to building work or maintaining roads,parks, playgrounds, or public buildings. These were alltemporary "workrelief" projects rather than permanent work opportunities. More substantial work projects of a permanentnature were organized by another" agency, the Public Works Administration(PWA).This agency undertook the planning of construction of schools, houses, postoffices, dams, and other public structures. It entered into contracts withprivate construction firms to erect them, or it loanedmoney to local or stategovernments which undertook their construction. This created many jobs in thefactoriesproducing the material as well as in the projects themselves, andgreatly reduced the number of the unemployed. Still another agency which provided work projectsfor the unemployed was the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC). This agencyprovided job opportunities for youths aged 16 to 20 to work in national parksor forestsclearing land, guarding against fires, building roads, or doing otherconservation work. In the event of a futuredepression, the federal governmentmight revive any or all of the above methods to relieve unemploymentandstimulate business. 52. It was at the beginning of the New Deal Erathat public works projects. A) were ignored by most American socialists B) proved its advantages over other plans C) were given a serious consideration D) were put into use immediately 53. According to the passage, during the New DealEra, the public works projects might __________ A) make a great leap in guiding the economicdevelopment B) help those unemployed to resume respect anddignity C) urge private businesses to employ more workers D) prevent government from lending money to theunemployed 54. The Works Project Administration could__________ A) relieve the burden of both the unemployed andthe government B) satisfy the need of people from various fieldsof the society C) meet the need of most people who were oncewhite-collars D) not offer people jobs which would support themfor a whole life 55. Compared with WPA, the Public WorksAdministration________ A) got private businesses involved in the restoringof economy B) encouraged the local governments to makeconcrete plans C) offered jobs in all the aspects concerningconstruction D) stimulated the economy by lending money to localgovernments 56. The Civilian Conservation Corps mainly offeredjobs________. A) to give more opportunities to various age groups C) that are laborious to youngsters B) to foster the spirit of American youths D) under the name of relieving family burdens
Passage Two Questions 57 to 61are based on the following passage. We all know that the normal human daily cycle ofactivity is of some 7-8 hours sleep alternating with some16-17 hourswakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with thehours of darkness. Ourpresent concern is with how easily and to what extentthis cycle can be modified. The question is no mere academic one. The ease, forexample, with which people can change from working inthe day to working atnight is a question of growing importance in industry where automation callsfor round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days toone week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine ofsleep and wakefulness,sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often thecase in industrythat shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to oneroutine than he has tochange to another, so that much of his time is spentneither working nor sleeping very efficiently. One answer would seem to be longer periods on eachshift, a month, or even three months. Recent research byBonjer of theNetherlands, however, has shown that people on such systems will revert totheir normal habits ofsleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this isquite enough to destroy any adaptation to night workbuilt up during the week. The only real solution appears to be to hand overthe night shift to a number of permanent night workers. Aninteresting study ofthe domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in1957. Shefound a high incidence of disturbed sleep and other disorders amongthose on alternating day and night shifts, butno abnormal occurrence of thesephenomena among those on permanent night work. This latter system then appears to be the bestlong-term policy, but meanwhile something may be done torelieve the strains ofalternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt mostquickly to thechanges of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adaptedis by measuring his body temperature. Peopleengaged in normal day-time workwill have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low oneatnight; when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually go backto match the new routine and thespeed with which it does so parallels, broadlyspeaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in termsofperformance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at intervals of two hoursthroughout the period ofwakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person canadapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basisfor selection. Sofar, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied inpractice. 57. The study of sleep cycle can be of practicaluse to places where________ A) strict work shifts are required to cater for theneed of automatic machines B) working at night is normal for most employees C) employees work according to differentrequirements of machines D) employees have to adapt to irregular workpatterns and organizations 58. According to Bonjer, after the training of adifferent sleep pattern during the weekdays, people________ A) resume their original sleep habits for nightshifts before the training B) tend to come back to their routine sleeppatterns at weekends C) suffer a lot when they come back home to sleepat weekends D) enjoy the benefits of adjusting to various sleeppatterns quickly 59. Which of the following is Brown's finding? A) People should choose a sleep pattern and workaccording to the pattern. B) Regular changes between day shifts and the nightones do good to workers. C) Permanent night workers suffer no disturbedsleep or other disorders. D) Workers act abnormally when they work on nightshift every day. 60. What can be done in arranging day and nightshifts in a factory? A) Make a survey on employees' preference ondifferent shifts. B) Give a physical test and find those who arealways energetic at nights. C) Stick to the pattern for three months once theshifts are settled down. D) Look for those who can adjust fast to the changeof wakefulness and sleep. 61. According to the passage, bodytemperature________ A) plays a vital role in selecting people foralternative day and night shifts B) changes every two hours during the day and everythree hours during the night C) has been used for industries in selecting peoplefor alternative shifts D) changes after a person has finished the trainingfor alternative shifts

答案精析 Part IWriting [范文] Changes inPeople's Diet Some noticeable changes have taken place inpeople's diet in China in recent years. The proportion of grain,which is thestaple food for many Chinese people, has decreased significantly, while theproportion of milk andmeats has been increasing considerably. Many factors contribute to the changes in the diet.First of all, with the rapid development of the economy,Chinese people are nowmore affluent and they enjoy a higher standard of living. As a result, they canafford tobuy more milk and meats. This perhaps is the major reason for thechanges in the diet. Secondly, the easyavailability of milk and meats on the marketis another factor. The abundant supply of meats and milk makespossible thesechanges in people's diet. The changes in people's diet, however, cause someconcern. Health experts believe that it is good to addsome meats and milk topeople's diet, for meats provide protein, and milk calcium, both of whicharcindispensable for people's health. However, too much of them may also pose aserious health problem:overweight. Experts remind us to bear in mind thatproper proportion of different food groups is of vitalimportance for one'shealth, so the best policy is to strike a balance in one's diet. 【譯文】 近年來(lái)，中國(guó)人的飲食已發(fā)生些許顯著的變化。很多中國(guó)人的主食——谷物的比重已經(jīng)明顯降低，而牛奶和肉類的比重正大幅上升。 許多因素促成了飲食的變化。首先，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的快速發(fā)展，如今的中國(guó)人更加富裕，生活水平提高了。因此，他們有能力購(gòu)買(mǎi)更多的牛奶和肉類，這大概是飲食變化的主因。其次，市場(chǎng)上容易買(mǎi)到牛奶和肉類是另外一個(gè)原因。肉類和牛奶的充足供應(yīng)使得飲食變化成為可能。 然而，人們的飲食變化也引起一些擔(dān)憂。健康專家認(rèn)為，在飲食中增加肉類和牛奶是有益的，因?yàn)槿忸惪梢蕴峁┑鞍踪|(zhì)，牛奶可以補(bǔ)鈣，它們都是人體健康不可或缺的成分。但是，過(guò)度的攝取也會(huì)帶來(lái)嚴(yán)重的健康問(wèn)題：體重超重。專家提醒我們牢記，合理攝取各種食物對(duì)每個(gè)人的身體至關(guān)重要，所以平衡膳食方為上策。

[29] Thefish in the tank behind me can produce a strong jolt of electricity to shock its prey, but most of the fishin here produce only weak electrical impulses that are usefulfor navigating,locating food, and even for communicating. The knife fish is a good example. This fishnavigates using tiny receptors in the skin that are sensitive toelectricalimpulses. [30] The knife fish produces an electrical signal, and the receptorsin its skin let it knowwhen the signal is distorted by a tree root, or someother obstacle, so it can go around it. Fish also use the ability to produce and detectelectrical impulses to communicate. They can tell each otherwhat species theybelong to, how big they are, and whether they're male or female. [31] We have atank herethat's specially equipped to convert the inaudible signals the fishproduce into sounds you can hear when youput on these headphones. I urge youall to listen in when I'm done speaking. Now have a look at the electric rays. Rays areespecially interesting to medical researchers because of theorgans they use toproduce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carries signals fromone nerve endingto the next, not only in rays, but also in people.

What doesthe knife fish use electricity for? 31. Why does the speaker suggest putting onheadphones? 英語(yǔ)六級(jí)模擬題 29. C 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均提到了魚(yú)，而且很可能與發(fā)電魚(yú)有關(guān)。 【解析】短文開(kāi)頭說(shuō)這是個(gè)用于研究發(fā)電魚(yú)的房間，然后介紹說(shuō)后面魚(yú)缸里的魚(yú)可以產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)電流使獵物休克，但大多數(shù)的魚(yú)只能發(fā)出對(duì)導(dǎo)航、確定食物甚至交流有用的弱電流。短文后面分別介紹了這幾種應(yīng)用，因此本篇短文主要談的是一些魚(yú)怎樣運(yùn)用電流，故選C。 30．D 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均為不定式，考查目的。由于四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的動(dòng)詞均不同，聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清文中所用的動(dòng)詞。 【解析】短文用刀魚(yú)舉例，刀魚(yú)發(fā)出電子信號(hào)，當(dāng)信號(hào)被樹(shù)根或其他障礙物干擾時(shí)刀魚(yú)皮膚內(nèi)的感受器就會(huì)感知，從而繞過(guò)障礙物，此處講的是刀魚(yú)如何運(yùn)用電流導(dǎo)航，故選D。 31．B 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均以to hear開(kāi)頭，考查做某事的目的是要聽(tīng)什么東西。聽(tīng)音關(guān)鍵在于其后的名詞，應(yīng)重點(diǎn)注意。 【解析】短文提到魚(yú)可以通過(guò)發(fā)出和探測(cè)電脈沖來(lái)交流，他們可以告訴彼此屬于哪一類、體形有多大以及性別。說(shuō)話人提到一個(gè)有特殊裝置的魚(yú)缸可以把魚(yú)發(fā)出的聽(tīng)不到的信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)變成戴上耳機(jī)就能聽(tīng)到的聲音，因此答案為B。 Passage Three [聽(tīng)力原文] Located at the NASA research center in Iowa, thereis a 5000 gallon container of water. And inside the tank is an underwater treadwheel designed by DavanNewman, an aerospace engineer. For four years, Newmanobserved divers as theysimulated walking on the moon and on Mars on her underwater moving belt. She wantedtodiscover how the gravity of the moon and of Mars would affect human movement.[32] To do this, Newmanattaebed weights to the divers and then lowered theminto the tank and onto the treadwbeel. These weightswere carefully adjusted sothat the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the moon and ofMarsas they walked on the treadwheel. [33] Newman concluded that walking onMars will probably be easierthan walking on the moon. The moon has less gravitythan Mars does. So at lunar gravity the divers struggled tokeep their balanceand walked awkwardly. But at Martian gravity, the divers had greater tractionand stability andcould easily adjust to a pace of 1.5 miles per hour. [34] AsNewman gradually increased the speed of thetreadwheel, the divers took longer,graceful strides until they comfortably settled into an even quickerpace.Newman also noted that at Martian gravity, the divers needed less oxygen.The data Newman collected will help inthe future design of Martian spacesuits.[35] Compare to lunar spacesuits, Martian spacesuits will requiresmaller airtanks. And to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of thespacesuits will also bealtered. 32. What did Newman change So that the divers couldexperience different gravity levels? 33. Why will Martian spacesuits be designeddifferently from lunar spacesuits? 34. What happened to the divers at Martian gravitywhen the speed of the treadwheel was increased? 35. What is one way that the design of Martianspacesuits will differ from lunar spacesuits? 英語(yǔ)六級(jí)模擬題 32．C 【解題思路】 1．三項(xiàng)提到了水(water)或潛水員(diver)，本題可能跟水有關(guān)。2．四項(xiàng)各表示一個(gè)因素。 結(jié)論：本題考查與水有關(guān)的一個(gè)因素。 【解析】短文開(kāi)頭提到了一個(gè)水下踏車(chē)，紐曼用它來(lái)觀察模仿在月球和火星行走的潛水員。紐曼想發(fā)現(xiàn)月球和火星的引力如何影響人類行動(dòng)。當(dāng)潛水員在水下踏車(chē)上行走的時(shí)候，她通過(guò)調(diào)整系在潛水員身上的重量來(lái)使其感受月球和火星的引力，因此答案為C。 33．A 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)都有關(guān)月球和火星上的不同，須重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清相關(guān)部分。 【解析】紐曼通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)得出結(jié)論：在火星上行走可能比在月球上行走容易，因此答案為A。 34．D 【解題思路】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都以they開(kāi)頭，且從選項(xiàng)看they很可能指前面提到的divers，每個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別描述的是一種實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果。 【解析】當(dāng)紐曼逐漸提高踏車(chē)的速度時(shí)，潛水員步伐更大，姿勢(shì)更優(yōu)美，直至他們輕易地適應(yīng)更快的行走速率，因此答案為D。 35．C 【解題思路】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別表示火星服的某項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)，聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)重點(diǎn)抓住Martian spacesuits。 【解析】短文后提到火星服的特點(diǎn)：與月球服相比，火星服只需要體積更小的氧氣罐，而且為了更自由的活動(dòng)．太空服的肘部和膝部也將改變，這意味著火星服會(huì)更具靈活性，適合活動(dòng)，因此答案為C。 Section C [聽(tīng)力原文] Growing numbers of bright students face missing outon their first choice university, academics warned today, as figures showed three-quarters of institutionsare being forced to reduce places. Almost 100 out of 130 universities in England couldbe forced to take fewer [36] undergraduates this year, following theintroduction of Coalition reforms designed to drive down [37] tuition fees. Many members of the elite Russell Group are amongthose facing [38] reductions, with Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle andSouthampton being particularly [39] hit. Data from the Government's Higher Education FundingCouncil for England suggests some newer universities such as Bedfordshire andEast London are [40] expecting to lose around one-in-eight places. The cuts are being [41] imposed following theintroduction of new rules that effectively [42] punish universities chargingmore than ￡7,500 in student fees from this autumn. It means large numbers of places are being [43]shifted towards cheap further education colleges. Ministers are also lifting controls on the numberof bright students gaining at least two A grades and a B at A-level thatuniversities can recruit-leading to an inevitable scramble towards a small numberof top institutions. The funding council's [44] chief executive deniedthe loss of student places would tip any institution into significant financialtrouble. But Prof Michael Farthing, vice-chancellor ofSussex University and chairman of the 1994 Group, whichrepresents many smallresearch institutions, said [45] the figures show that many excellent studentswill bedenied places at their first choice universities. "The number of students universities areallowed to recruit has been cut across the sector, with 20,000 places auctionedoff to institutions with lower than average fees. " he said. "[46] Far from giving the best universitiesfreedom to take on more students, this represents a push to a cut-priceeducation. "
Part ⅡReadingComprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutesto go over the passage quickly and answer the questions onAnswer Sheet 1. Forquestions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B),C)andD). Forquestions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given inthe passage. Saying No to HighGas Prices Most motorists are simply bearing up againstsoaring gasoline prices. They may swear. They may complain. But they end upfilling up as always. Others, however, are fighting back as the nationheads into the spring driving season. Some are riding the busor train or arecarpooling (拼車(chē)). Some are giving up four wheels for two-ascooter (小型摩托車(chē)) or bicycle.Some are simply planningtheir trips more efficiently. Nationally, 84% of those responding to an AAAsurvey released earlier this month say they've changed theirroutines as aresult of soaring fuel prices. Better planning-combining errands into a singletrip-was the mostcommon way cited. Some 16% say they're less affected because theybought or leased a more fuel-efficient vehicle. Some are likeFleming Law ofIndian Harbour Beach, Fla., who is so proud of his Chevrolet Volt plug-inelectric car, which alsohas a gasoline motor, that he laughs off higher gasprices. "Haven't filled up since November. What's theprice of gas?" says Law, who's racked up more than 7,500 miles on hisVolt. He says be's filled up once since be's owned it. For the rest of us, gas prices are still an issue.The average price of regular gas is now within 20 cents lower agallon than therecord $4.114 set in July 2008. Regular averaged $3.921 a gallon on Thursday,up four cents from aweek ago and up about 33 cents, or 9%, from a year ago,according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Americans are finding diverse and novel ways tocope with those prices. Using scooters incommute Mike McWilliams bought a 2007 Yamaha Vino motorscooter to putt-putt to community college in Asheville, N. C., and to his jobat a doggy daycare center. He's studying to become a veterinary (獸醫(yī)) technician. "On the fiat, with a good tailwind (順風(fēng)), I can get it up to like 55 miles per hour," he says beforecorrecting himself. "Actually, that might be on a slightdownhill. " It's not speed that McWilliams seeks. A longtimemotorcyclist, he says he wanted a fun way to get around thecity while savingmoney. He's gone about 70 miles on the scooter's one-gallon tank. But it's afair-weatherstrategy. Otherwise, he takes his 1996 Saturn. Combining trips In Greenville, S.C., Michael Heaton is payingcloser attention to the rounds he makes. There's not much he can do, though, about the costof fuel for the mowers and weed trimmers he uses for his Greenville LawnMaintenance. His gasoline bill for them now is about $200 a month, he says. But he's trying to bum less gas through betterplanning. "Instead of just going somewhere and gettingsomething... I tryto do two or three things when I make a trip," he says. He's also stoppeddropping' off his mail atthe downtown post office. "I just stick it in mymailbox." Playing theircards right Karen Papp, 45, of Westland, Mich., gets about 30miles per gallon in her Hyundai Accent, but with a 60-miledaily commute, she'slooking to save. One way she and her husband have discovered: buying Shell giftcards attheir local Kroger supermarket. "Shell will give you the cashprice (at the pump) for buying with the gift card,"she says, which is afew cents cheaper than the credit card price. And Papp gets. bonus shoppingpoints at thegrocery by swiping her Kroger card at the pump. "I'm alwayslooking for a way to save." Pumping a bike,not gas As long as the wind chill stays above zero, you'llfind Kirk Wurscher pedaling his bike to work seven miles each day in SiouxFalls, S.D, He says at first it was a sometime thing, but"as gas prices went higher, I started doing it more." Then it becamea necessity. In 2010, one of his family's two cars died. His wife needed thesurvivor, so Wurscher found himself biking each day. Now, the family has two cars again, but Wurscher'scar stays parked five or six days a week. He might put 100 miles a month on thecar, vs. 500 on his bike. His cold-weather gear and his bike, which has racksand can carry 140 pounds of cargo, weren't cheap, he says. But with gas pricesgoing higher, the payoff is coming sooner. And there's the bonus: exercise. "It's morefun to ride a bike than drive a car," he says. "Ten or 12 years ago, Iwould have never said that." Downsizing (減小耗油量) to raise mileage (英里數(shù)) Chris Purnell of Berlin, Md., once drove aCadillac, but downsized to a Volkswagen Passat. "It burns less gas, and it's a lot cheaper tofill it up," he says while fueling the car at a Wawa station in West OceanCity, Md. Purnell, who works at a Food Lion supermarket, says he's been shakinghis head as gas prices rose steadily through the last four years. It was much the same story for Daria and ChristianSchneider of Middletown, N. J. With a second child on theway, they were fed upwith their 1999 Range Rover's 11 miles per. They traded it for a 2010 ToyotaRAV4. "Wereally needed to save that money with a baby coming," saysDaria, a stay-at-home mom. "That car had to go." Since buying the Toyota in September, they've beengetting double the mileage, about 22 miles per gallon. They estimate they'resaving at least $224 a month from what they were shelling out for the LandRover. "I think, before, people were freaking outabout the prices. But they've gone up so much. It's just reality. You just haveto find ways to deal with it," Daria says. Switching to thebus When Susan Lacke's Nissan Versa was totaled in awreck, she left the motoring world behind. Now, thewriter, teacher andresearcher in the Phoenix suburb of Ahwatukee rides the bus. "I decidednot to replace it, because the Phoenix Metro (public bus system) was soeasy-and cheaper than gas," she says. Lacke says the transition went well at first. Shehad been spending about $600 a month on auto payments, insurance, maintenanceand gasoline. Riding the bus costs just $40 a month, and she figures she canuse thesavings to pay off student loans. But she pays a price in time: Her14-mile commute from home to Arizona State University is up from 20 minutes toan hour each way. She says she tries to use the time productively. "I can get a lot of work done on the bus thatI can't do while driving," she explains. "So it gives me a jump-starton the day." In addition to the bus, Lacke, a triathlete, alsosometimes bikes or runs to campus. Buyelectricity instead Mechanical engineer and self-described "techgeek (狂人)" Law, who bought the Volt, says, "I don't care about theprice of gas. I don't look at it. My wife has to tell me. " He ordered the slate-colored compact car onlinefrom a New York dealer last spring, when it was still in limitedrelease, thenpaid roughly $500 to transport it to Florida. Round-trip, his daily commute toPalm Bay is about 25miles. That's within the electric-only range of the Volt,he says, so he uses virtually no gas getting to work. He estimates that his electric bill has increased$30 per month to recharge the vehicle each night. The Volt and other electricsdon't come, cheap, though. The car starts at $39,995 before governmentsubsidies (補(bǔ)貼). "I'm just a techie. I'm just a gadget freak.And it's by far the largest gadget I own," he said. 1.

Part IV ReadingComprehension (Reading in Depth)(25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a shortpassage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passagecarefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possiblewords. Please write youranswers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51are based on the following passage. Culture is the sum total of all the traditions,customs, beliefs, and ways of life of a given group of humanbeings. In thissense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilizedit may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist (人類學(xué)家), there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, justas to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy (等級(jí)制度) among languages. People once thought of the languages of backwardgroups as savage undeveloped forms of speech, consistinglargely of grunts andgroans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series ofgrunts and groans, it is afact established by the study of "backward"languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Mostlanguagesof uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex,delicate, and ingenious piecesof machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fallbehind our Western languages not in their sound patterns orgrammaticalstructures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but onlyin their vocabularies, whichreflect the objects and activities known to theirspeakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to benoted: 1. Alllanguages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either byputting together wordsalready in existence or by borrowing them from otherlanguages and adapting them to their own system. 2. Theobjects and activitiesrequiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, whiledifferent from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated, A Westernlanguage distinguishes merely between two degrees ofremoteness("this"and "that"); some languages of the American Indiansdistinguish between what is close to thespeaker, or to the person addressed, orremoved from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future. This study of language, in turn, casts a new lightupon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewedindependently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy. 47. According to the author, one culture orlanguage has no________ 48. It turns out that language systems used byuncivilized groups are complicated when________ 49. Vocabularies used by uncivilized groups hinderthe languages from developing as________ 50. In some "backward" languages, wordsfor the differences of remoteness are amazingly________ 51. In the opinion of anthropologist, the fight wayto study cultures is not to treat them with________
Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A),B),C) andD) . You should decide on thebestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a singleline through the centre. Passage One Questions 52 to 56are based on the following passage. The idea of public works projects as a device toprevent or control depression was designed as means ofcreating jobopportunities for unemployed workers and as a "pump priming" deviceto aid business to revive. Itwas conceived during the early year as of the NewDeal Era (1933-1937). By 1933, the number of unemployedworkers had reachedabout 13 million. This meant that about 50 million people-about one third ofthenation--were without means of support. At first, direct relief in the formof cash or food was provided for thesepeople. This made them recipients (接受者) of government charity. In order to remove this stigma (恥辱)and restore to the unemployed some measure of respectability andhuman dignity, a plan was devised to creategovernmentally sponsored workprojects that private industry would not or could not provide. This would also stimulateproduction and revive business activity. The best way to explain how this procedure isexpected to work is to explain how it actually worked when itwas first tried.The first experiment with it was the creation of the Works ProjectAdministration (WPA).This agency set up work projects in various fields inwhich there were many unemployed. For example, unemployed actors were organizedinto theater projects; orchestras were organized for unemployed musicians, teachingprojects for unemployed teachers, and even writers' projects for unemployedwriters. Unemployedlaborers were put to building work or maintaining roads,parks, playgrounds, or public buildings. These were alltemporary "workrelief" projects rather than permanent work opportunities. More substantial work projects of a permanentnature were organized by another" agency, the Public Works Administration(PWA).This agency undertook the planning of construction of schools, houses, postoffices, dams, and other public structures. It entered into contracts withprivate construction firms to erect them, or it loanedmoney to local or stategovernments which undertook their construction. This created many jobs in thefactoriesproducing the material as well as in the projects themselves, andgreatly reduced the number of the unemployed. Still another agency which provided work projectsfor the unemployed was the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC). This agencyprovided job opportunities for youths aged 16 to 20 to work in national parksor forestsclearing land, guarding against fires, building roads, or doing otherconservation work. In the event of a futuredepression, the federal governmentmight revive any or all of the above methods to relieve unemploymentandstimulate business. 52. It was at the beginning of the New Deal Erathat public works projects. A) were ignored by most American socialists B) proved its advantages over other plans C) were given a serious consideration D) were put into use immediately 53. According to the passage, during the New DealEra, the public works projects might __________ A) make a great leap in guiding the economicdevelopment B) help those unemployed to resume respect anddignity C) urge private businesses to employ more workers D) prevent government from lending money to theunemployed 54.

Passage Two Questions 57 to 61are based on the following passage. We all know that the normal human daily cycle ofactivity is of some 7-8 hours sleep alternating with some16-17 hourswakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with thehours of darkness. Ourpresent concern is with how easily and to what extentthis cycle can be modified. The question is no mere academic one. The ease, forexample, with which people can change from working inthe day to working atnight is a question of growing importance in industry where automation callsfor round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days toone week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine ofsleep and wakefulness,sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often thecase in industrythat shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to oneroutine than he has tochange to another, so that much of his time is spentneither working nor sleeping very efficiently. One answer would seem to be longer periods on eachshift, a month, or even three months. Recent research byBonjer of theNetherlands, however, has shown that people on such systems will revert totheir normal habits ofsleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this isquite enough to destroy any adaptation to night workbuilt up during the week. The only real solution appears to be to hand overthe night shift to a number of permanent night workers. Aninteresting study ofthe domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in1957. Shefound a high incidence of disturbed sleep and other disorders amongthose on alternating day and night shifts, butno abnormal occurrence of thesephenomena among those on permanent night work. This latter system then appears to be the bestlong-term policy, but meanwhile something may be done torelieve the strains ofalternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt mostquickly to thechanges of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adaptedis by measuring his body temperature. Peopleengaged in normal day-time workwill have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low oneatnight; when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually go backto match the new routine and thespeed with which it does so parallels, broadlyspeaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in termsofperformance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at intervals of two hoursthroughout the period ofwakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person canadapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basisfor selection. Sofar, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied inpractice. 57. The study of sleep cycle can be of practicaluse to places where________ A) strict work shifts are required to cater for theneed of automatic machines B) working at night is normal for most employees C) employees work according to differentrequirements of machines D) employees have to adapt to irregular workpatterns and organizations 58. According to Bonjer, after the training of adifferent sleep pattern during the weekdays, people________ A) resume their original sleep habits for nightshifts before the training B) tend to come back to their routine sleeppatterns at weekends C) suffer a lot when they come back home to sleepat weekends D) enjoy the benefits of adjusting to various sleeppatterns quickly 59. Which of the following is Brown's finding? A) People should choose a sleep pattern and workaccording to the pattern. B) Regular changes between day shifts and the nightones do good to workers. C) Permanent night workers suffer no disturbedsleep or other disorders. D) Workers act abnormally when they work on nightshift every day. 60. What can be done in arranging day and nightshifts in a factory? A) Make a survey on employees' preference ondifferent shifts. B) Give a physical test and find those who arealways energetic at nights. C) Stick to the pattern for three months once theshifts are settled down. D) Look for those who can adjust fast to the changeof wakefulness and sleep. 61. According to the passage, bodytemperature________ A) plays a vital role in selecting people foralternative day and night shifts B) changes every two hours during the day and everythree hours during the night C) has been used for industries in selecting peoplefor alternative shifts D) changes after a person has finished the trainingfor alternative shifts

答案精析 Part IWriting [范文] Changes inPeople's Diet Some noticeable changes have taken place inpeople's diet in China in recent years. The proportion of grain,which is thestaple food for many Chinese people, has decreased significantly, while theproportion of milk andmeats has been increasing considerably. Many factors contribute to the changes in the diet.First of all, with the rapid development of the economy,Chinese people are nowmore affluent and they enjoy a higher standard of living. As a result, they canafford tobuy more milk and meats. This perhaps is the major reason for thechanges in the diet. Secondly, the easyavailability of milk and meats on the marketis another factor. The abundant supply of meats and milk makespossible thesechanges in people's diet. The changes in people's diet, however, cause someconcern. Health experts believe that it is good to addsome meats and milk topeople's diet, for meats provide protein, and milk calcium, both of whicharcindispensable for people's health. However, too much of them may also pose aserious health problem:overweight. Experts remind us to bear in mind thatproper proportion of different food groups is of vitalimportance for one'shealth, so the best policy is to strike a balance in one's diet. 【譯文】 近年來(lái)，中國(guó)人的飲食已發(fā)生些許顯著的變化。很多中國(guó)人的主食——谷物的比重已經(jīng)明顯降低，而牛奶和肉類的比重正大幅上升。 許多因素促成了飲食的變化。首先，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的快速發(fā)展，如今的中國(guó)人更加富裕，生活水平提高了。因此，他們有能力購(gòu)買(mǎi)更多的牛奶和肉類，這大概是飲食變化的主因。其次，市場(chǎng)上容易買(mǎi)到牛奶和肉類是另外一個(gè)原因。肉類和牛奶的充足供應(yīng)使得飲食變化成為可能。 然而，人們的飲食變化也引起一些擔(dān)憂。健康專家認(rèn)為，在飲食中增加肉類和牛奶是有益的，因?yàn)槿忸惪梢蕴峁┑鞍踪|(zhì)，牛奶可以補(bǔ)鈣，它們都是人體健康不可或缺的成分。但是，過(guò)度的攝取也會(huì)帶來(lái)嚴(yán)重的健康問(wèn)題：體重超重。專家提醒我們牢記，合理攝取各種食物對(duì)每個(gè)人的身體至關(guān)重要，所以平衡膳食方為上策。

M: You know, cough, fever, runny nose, chills even.I'm usually miserable for a week and it ends up ruining my holidays. W: Sounds like a typical flu to me. As you said,lots of people have it and it strikes [20] when people areovertired, stressedout and not eating well. And also you increase your exposure to a virus whenyou're inbig crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing. M: I certainly spend a lot of time in departmentstores around the holidays buying gifts for people. W: Yes. And so you increase your exposure to virusesjust when your body's resistance is already low. M: So what can I do to ward off the flu? W: Actually it's fairly simple. [20] Get a lot ofrest, and eat well. That way your immune system will be boosted. And you'll bemore able to fight off illness. M: All these things make sense. But one morequestion. Aren't I bound to get sick anyway if there's an outbreak in the dorm? W: Oh, you didn't mention you live in thedormitory. In that case I'd also suggest you. get immunized. [21] Thevaccineavailable prevents the three main types of influenza. Why don't you go to theuniversity healthcenter? The shots are free there. M: I'll do it fight away.

Community service is animportant component of education here at our university. [26] We encourage all students to volunteer for atleast one community activity before they graduate. A newcommunity programcalled "One on One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind.You education majorsmight be especially interested in it, because it offers theopportunity to do some teaching--that is tutoring in Mathand English. You'llhave to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help achild withMath, English or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do ahalf hour of each subject two days a week. [27] Professor Dodge will act as amentor to the tutors. He'll be available to help you with lesson plans ortooffer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday andThursday afternoon. You can sign up forthe program with him and begin thetutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'llgainvaluable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume too, showingthat you have experiencewith children and that you care about your community.[28] If you'd like to sign up or if you have anyquestions, stop by ProfessorDodge's office this week. 26.

[29] Thefish in the tank behind me can produce a strong jolt of electricity to shock its prey, but most of the fishin here produce only weak electrical impulses that are usefulfor navigating,locating food, and even for communicating. The knife fish is a good example. This fishnavigates using tiny receptors in the skin that are sensitive toelectricalimpulses. [30] The knife fish produces an electrical signal, and the receptorsin its skin let it knowwhen the signal is distorted by a tree root, or someother obstacle, so it can go around it. Fish also use the ability to produce and detectelectrical impulses to communicate. They can tell each otherwhat species theybelong to, how big they are, and whether they're male or female. [31] We have atank herethat's specially equipped to convert the inaudible signals the fishproduce into sounds you can hear when youput on these headphones. I urge youall to listen in when I'm done speaking. Now have a look at the electric rays. Rays areespecially interesting to medical researchers because of theorgans they use toproduce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carries signals fromone nerve endingto the next, not only in rays, but also in people. By studyingthese organs, scientists hope to learn more aboutdiseases that interrupt thetransmission of impulses from one nerve to another. 29. What is the talk mainly about? 30. What doesthe knife fish use electricity for? 31. Why does the speaker suggest putting onheadphones? 英語(yǔ)六級(jí)模擬題 29. C 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均提到了魚(yú)，而且很可能與發(fā)電魚(yú)有關(guān)。 【解析】短文開(kāi)頭說(shuō)這是個(gè)用于研究發(fā)電魚(yú)的房間，然后介紹說(shuō)后面魚(yú)缸里的魚(yú)可以產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)電流使獵物休克，但大多數(shù)的魚(yú)只能發(fā)出對(duì)導(dǎo)航、確定食物甚至交流有用的弱電流。短文后面分別介紹了這幾種應(yīng)用，因此本篇短文主要談的是一些魚(yú)怎樣運(yùn)用電流，故選C。 30．D 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均為不定式，考查目的。由于四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的動(dòng)詞均不同，聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清文中所用的動(dòng)詞。 【解析】短文用刀魚(yú)舉例，刀魚(yú)發(fā)出電子信號(hào)，當(dāng)信號(hào)被樹(shù)根或其他障礙物干擾時(shí)刀魚(yú)皮膚內(nèi)的感受器就會(huì)感知，從而繞過(guò)障礙物，此處講的是刀魚(yú)如何運(yùn)用電流導(dǎo)航，故選D。 31．B 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均以to hear開(kāi)頭，考查做某事的目的是要聽(tīng)什么東西。聽(tīng)音關(guān)鍵在于其后的名詞，應(yīng)重點(diǎn)注意。 【解析】短文提到魚(yú)可以通過(guò)發(fā)出和探測(cè)電脈沖來(lái)交流，他們可以告訴彼此屬于哪一類、體形有多大以及性別。說(shuō)話人提到一個(gè)有特殊裝置的魚(yú)缸可以把魚(yú)發(fā)出的聽(tīng)不到的信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)變成戴上耳機(jī)就能聽(tīng)到的聲音，因此答案為B。 Passage Three [聽(tīng)力原文] Located at the NASA research center in Iowa, thereis a 5000 gallon container of water. And inside the tank is an underwater treadwheel designed by DavanNewman, an aerospace engineer. For four years, Newmanobserved divers as theysimulated walking on the moon and on Mars on her underwater moving belt. She wantedtodiscover how the gravity of the moon and of Mars would affect human movement.[32] To do this, Newmanattaebed weights to the divers and then lowered theminto the tank and onto the treadwbeel. These weightswere carefully adjusted sothat the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the moon and ofMarsas they walked on the treadwheel. [33] Newman concluded that walking onMars will probably be easierthan walking on the moon. The moon has less gravitythan Mars does. So at lunar gravity the divers struggled tokeep their balanceand walked awkwardly. But at Martian gravity, the divers had greater tractionand stability andcould easily adjust to a pace of 1.5 miles per hour. [34] AsNewman gradually increased the speed of thetreadwheel, the divers took longer,graceful strides until they comfortably settled into an even quickerpace.Newman also noted that at Martian gravity, the divers needed less oxygen.The data Newman collected will help inthe future design of Martian spacesuits.[35] Compare to lunar spacesuits, Martian spacesuits will requiresmaller airtanks. And to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of thespacesuits will also bealtered. 32. What did Newman change So that the divers couldexperience different gravity levels? 33. Why will Martian spacesuits be designeddifferently from lunar spacesuits? 34. What happened to the divers at Martian gravitywhen the speed of the treadwheel was increased? 35. What is one way that the design of Martianspacesuits will differ from lunar spacesuits? 英語(yǔ)六級(jí)模擬題 32．C 【解題思路】 1．三項(xiàng)提到了水(water)或潛水員(diver)，本題可能跟水有關(guān)。2．四項(xiàng)各表示一個(gè)因素。 結(jié)論：本題考查與水有關(guān)的一個(gè)因素。 【解析】短文開(kāi)頭提到了一個(gè)水下踏車(chē)，紐曼用它來(lái)觀察模仿在月球和火星行走的潛水員。紐曼想發(fā)現(xiàn)月球和火星的引力如何影響人類行動(dòng)。當(dāng)潛水員在水下踏車(chē)上行走的時(shí)候，她通過(guò)調(diào)整系在潛水員身上的重量來(lái)使其感受月球和火星的引力，因此答案為C。 33．A 【解題思路】四項(xiàng)都有關(guān)月球和火星上的不同，須重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清相關(guān)部分。 【解析】紐曼通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)得出結(jié)論：在火星上行走可能比在月球上行走容易，因此答案為A。 34．D 【解題思路】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都以they開(kāi)頭，且從選項(xiàng)看they很可能指前面提到的divers，每個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別描述的是一種實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果。 【解析】當(dāng)紐曼逐漸提高踏車(chē)的速度時(shí)，潛水員步伐更大，姿勢(shì)更優(yōu)美，直至他們輕易地適應(yīng)更快的行走速率，因此答案為D。 35．C 【解題思路】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別表示火星服的某項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)，聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)重點(diǎn)抓住Martian spacesuits。 【解析】短文后提到火星服的特點(diǎn)：與月球服相比，火星服只需要體積更小的氧氣罐，而且為了更自由的活動(dòng)．太空服的肘部和膝部也將改變，這意味著火星服會(huì)更具靈活性，適合活動(dòng)，因此答案為C。 Section C [聽(tīng)力原文] Growing numbers of bright students face missing outon their first choice university, academics warned today, as figures showed three-quarters of institutionsare being forced to reduce places. Almost 100 out of 130 universities in England couldbe forced to take fewer [36] undergraduates this year, following theintroduction of Coalition reforms designed to drive down [37] tuition fees. Many members of the elite Russell Group are amongthose facing [38] reductions, with Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle andSouthampton being particularly [39] hit. Data from the Government's Higher Education FundingCouncil for England suggests some newer universities such as Bedfordshire andEast London are [40] expecting to lose around one-in-eight places. The cuts are being [41] imposed following theintroduction of new rules that effectively [42] punish universities chargingmore than ￡7,500 in student fees from this autumn. It means large numbers of places are being [43]shifted towards cheap further education colleges. Ministers are also lifting controls on the numberof bright students gaining at least two A grades and a B at A-level thatuniversities can recruit-leading to an inevitable scramble towards a small numberof top institutions. The funding council's [44] chief executive deniedthe loss of student places would tip any institution into significant financialtrouble. But Prof Michael Farthing, vice-chancellor ofSussex University and chairman of the 1994 Group, whichrepresents many smallresearch institutions, said [45] the figures show that many excellent studentswill bedenied places at their first choice universities. "The number of students universities areallowed to recruit has been cut across the sector, with 20,000 places auctionedoff to institutions with lower than average fees. " he said. "[46] Far from giving the best universitiesfreedom to take on more students, this represents a push to a cut-priceeducation. "
