1.英语六级阅读理解备考练习题 篇一

随着2010年6月四六级考试报名接近尾声，今年上半年的四六级备考也愈发紧张起来，如何在剩下的两个月时间里取得复习效果的最优化，是每个考生最为关心的问题。而阅读题目，作为占考试分值最大的一部分内容，考查考生多方面的能力，包括词汇、语法、语篇分析等，更看重考查考生的综合能力，在考试中往往起着决定成败的关键作用。可以说，阅读能力强，得分高，四六级考试过关便有较大把握。那么，如何在有限的时间内迅速提高阅读能力呢?专家认为主要有如下几点可供考生参考：

1. 夯实词汇语法基本功：想要做好阅读理解，词汇量必须达到基本要求，语法知识也必须掌握。CET考试逐渐淡化“纯粹”的词汇、语法考查，但不意味着考生可以放弃词汇、语法。相反，将词汇语法的知识渗入到各题型中考查，更增加了试题的难度及对词汇语法掌握水平的要求。在阅读理解中，词汇语法往往是在语篇中进行考查的。很多大纲词汇考生若掌握不住，不知其意，势必会对文章理解造成困难;而还有的考生，常常觉得在阅读时有些词很“面熟”，也知道是什么意思，但整个句子理解起来却有些别扭。这是因为常用词在特定语境中，也可能出现它的另一个不太常用的含义。如果考生不知道，就会造成阅读障碍，这就要求背单词要全面掌握单词含义，同时注意总结一些常考的熟词僻义单词。同时语法知识也不能忽略，在阅读理解中不排除会遇到一些结构比较复杂的句子，若不能理清从句之间的关系，就理解不了句子，从而影响到整篇文章的理解。因此，建议大家在背单词时选择释义比较全面的单词书，比如《大学英语(论坛)四六级考试词汇高分突破》一书，特意为考生总结了熟词僻义单词，相信会对考生备考有极大帮助。

2. 关注语境，整体把握全文：四六级考试中有这样一种现象：文章读起来不难，但做起题来感觉难，尤其是类似于“本文推断、暗示了什么”这样的题目，

原因是考生感觉理解文章了，但仍停留在表面，没有透彻理解文章主旨。所以，考生一定要结合上下文语境，全面把握文章的中心思想，在文章整体思想的指导下做题。

3. 掌握阅读技巧，克服不良的阅读习惯：不良的阅读习惯有(1)母语译读，即阅读时把所读到的句子逐句翻译成汉语后再理解，这样无疑会导致阅读速度的降低。(2)频繁复读，即阅读时一碰到一时未能理解的词句就多次复读，直到完全理解为止，这么做既不现实，也没有必要，因为要做对试题中的问题并不要求对原文有百分之百的理解，而且考试时间也不允许考生这么做。(3)默读或出声阅读，不管是否出声，这两种阅读都是在一字一字的阅读文章，这势必会影响阅读速度，而且效果很差。(4)指读，有些人在阅读时，喜欢用手或笔在文字下方移动，或者是头、身体等随着阅读而摆动，这样会浪费很多的宝贵时间。以上这些都是造成阅读能力差、速度慢的原因，因此考生应首先克服这些阅读中常出现的问题，养成良好的阅读习惯。其实，正确的阅读习惯是按意群默读。所谓意群是指具有一个中心意思的词的群体。意群阅读法是指在阅读句子时以意群为单位，而不是以单个的词为单位进行阅读。这种阅读方法能够帮助学生将文字符号转换成信息内容，使学生迅速准确地理解原意，从而提高考(论坛)生的阅读速度和准确性。从阅读技巧上讲，应当精读与略读相结合。略读的关键在于文章的首段和尾段，因为英美人在写文章的时候往往在第一段里就开门见山地提出文章的论点，然后在以下各段展开论述，最后一段里再重扣主题。所以在细读首段和尾段的基础上，略读正文的论述部分，对快速抓住文章主题，了解文章大意很有帮助，这种方法在做快速阅读题时比较实用。而在做仔细阅读题尤其是细节题时，我们常常采取精读的方法。在充分分析选择项以后，找到关键词，然后回原文去定位寻找，进行比较分析，找出正确选项。精读要针对原文中设题部分的关键句。在对长句、难句和比较句的理解中，精读显得尤为重要。

总之，阅读可谓四六级考试的重中之重，考生若能掌握一定的阅读技巧，再结合考前的强化训练，一定会在四六级考试中取得不错的成绩。

2.英语六级阅读理解备考练习题 篇二

1 激发学习兴趣巧记基础词汇

新闻包括政治新闻、经济新闻、体育新闻、社会新闻、娱乐新闻等。这其中每个方面都与大学生息息相关, 并且每个大学生都或多或少会对其中某个方面怀有兴趣。

例如, 之前, 《人民日报》一则社论对《甄嬛传》中不正确的价值观进行了批评。与此同时, China Daily也就此跟进做出了相应的英文报道。原文如下:“Popular Chinese TV Series Legend of Zhenhuan spread flawed values according to a People’s Daily report.The report compared the drama with another imperial harem drama, Dae Jang Geum, based in South Korea.It said Legend of Zhenhuan overstates the intrigue between the emperor’s concubines and advocates overcoming evil with evil, while Dae Jang Geum has the right values, which reflects that evil can only be overcome by insisting on justice.”其中spread (2011年12月英语四级考试快速阅读句子“Cheating can spread like a disease.”) 、overstate (2006年6月英语六级考试仔细阅读第一篇“The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality.”) 、advocate (2010年12月英语四级考试听力Section B第二篇短文问题三“What does the speaker seem to advocate?”) 、reflect (2008年12月英语四级考试快速阅读“We're centered on them but in ways that reflect positively on us.”) 、insist on (2011年12月英语四级完形填空“And while many employers don't insist on a particular degree subject.”) 。如果大家只是一味地拿着词汇书背记这些词汇, 效果一定不尽如意。然而, Harry P.Bahrick (1984) 曾指出, “人们记忆效果的好坏取决于他们对所记内容的加工程度。单纯重复词的发音是低层次的加工, 记忆效果较差;搞清楚词在句子中的语法作用是较深层次的加工, 记忆效果较好;弄懂词与词在句子中的意义关系并学会使用是深层次的加工, 记忆效果最好。”由此可以看出, 以趣味性的英语新闻为载体来呈现英语四六级词汇, 不仅可以激发大家的学习兴趣, 更能让大家了解这些词汇在上下文中的具体用法及意义关系, 可谓一举两得。

2 熟悉新闻体裁助力书面表达

在很多人看来, 新闻中夹杂许多生涩难懂的词汇。然而, 无论政治新闻还是娱乐新闻, 其中涉及到的罕见用字 (rarely used vocabulary) 并不常见, 例如hegemonism (霸权主义) 或Engel's coefficient (恩格尔系数) 。反而, 我们生活中常常使用的文字会在新闻中经常遇到, 即是所谓的常用词 (commonly used vocabulary) 。

例如, 我国曾经街头巷尾流行一个所谓的新词“土豪”, 就这个现象, China Daily也做了相关报道。原文如下:“The Foreign Policy website pens a story saying‘tuhao’, or the Beverly Hillbillies of China, is becoming a popular word among Chinese netizens.Their love for bling (炫富性的饰品) has become the backbone of the global luxury goods industry, yet they are also the subject of disdain and the butt of jokes for bad taste, the report says.Many Chinese would say they are the antithesis of‘tuhao’—educated, fashionable, and disdainful of conspicuous consumptions, yet everyone wants to be the friend of‘tuhao’in spite of disliking them.”这则新闻报道中出现的词汇如pen、netizen、backbone、luxury、disdain、butt、educated、disdainful、conspicuous、consumption、in spite of等词汇均是英语四六级考试要求掌握的基础词汇。另外, 这则报道中只使用了一个简单句以及两个并列句就完成了有关“土豪”现象的新闻写作, 不仅文意简洁明了, 而且举例对比鲜明。这让我不禁想起曹保印老师曾撰写的一篇名为《先“吃饱”后“吃好”》的文章。文中, 曹老师将读书与吃饭进行类比, 指出“对居家过日子的老百姓来说, 能不能把肚子吃饱了, 才是最大的‘讲究’。正因如此, 在老百姓眼里, 葱油大饼永远比山珍海味更‘实惠’。”紧接着, 在文章后半段曹老师又指出, “在我看来, 就学校教育教学途径之一的读书而言, 正在成长中的青少年学生, 好比‘居家过日子的老百姓’, 用以指导他们的‘读书论’不应五彩缤纷, 而要‘去粗存精, 去伪存真’, 以让他们在‘吃饱’的基础上‘吃好’为最基本也是最高的标准。其中的道理非常简单:只要是孩子, 都爱吃各种各样的零食, 可零食永远代替不了也不能代替主食, 尽管它也有一定的营养。”然而, 我们知道新闻英语中出现的大多数词汇均属常用词汇, 实属“葱油大饼”, 这也正是作为“居家过日子的老百姓”的广大非英语专业大学生正儿八经需要补充的营养。同时, 这在英语四六级考试大纲中也有类似要求, 要求广大非英语专业生在四级作文中能够以简洁的语言描述一个现象进而确立并表述自身观点。因此, 英语新闻完全可以作为英语四六级写作的练习范文。

3 结论

总之, 在广大非英语专业学生备战英语四六级考试的过程中, 大家不仅仅希望取得一份优异的成绩单, 更希望能将英语化作自身最基本的一项技能。然而, 新闻英语因其具备实用性与时效性强的特点, 一定会给予广大正在备考英语四六级考试的非英语专业生以及辛勤耕耘在大学英语教学第一线的英语教师以有益的帮助。

3.英语六级阅读理解备考练习题 篇三

第一，快速阅读在改革后变成了长篇阅读。在长篇阅读的文章后有十个句子，每个句子是一道题，对应文章的某个段落。做题时，考生需要将每个句子和相应的段落进行匹配。当然，每个段落不一定只对应一道题，有的段落可能对应两道题，而有的段落可能不对应任何一道题。虽说改革后的考试形式变了，但实际上比起原先的快速阅读，长篇阅读并无实质性的变化，因为文章篇幅、语言难度和题目分值比例都保持不变。由官方公布的样题可以看出，样题中出现的长篇阅读文章取材自2010年12月六级考试的快速阅读文章。文章内容几乎没有变化，只是把文章后面的题目换成了信息匹配题的形式。

第二，在官方样题中，六级阅读部分的短句问答题不见了，取而代之的是选词填空题。选词填空题一直以来都是四级阅读所考查的题型，因此在这次改革后，四、六级考试阅读部分的题型变得统一。

下面笔者就对2013年6月六级考试真题阅读部分的各题型做简要点评，同时结合六级改革后的官方样题给考生提供一些备考建议。

>>>> 快速阅读

从命题角度看，本次六级考试的快速阅读部分基本没有变化，考查方式仍然是七道选择题加三道填空题，而且还是以考查细节信息为主。在做快速阅读部分的细节题时，考生要多留意题干中常出现的专有名词、数字等细节信息，因为题目答案往往就在原文中出现这些细节信息的地方，或者就是对原文中这些细节内容的同义替换。下面来看2013年6月六级考试快速阅读部分一道典型的细节题：“According to United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization， in 40 years between 1961 and 2001， India’s grain production ————.”根据题干中的信息United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization、40 years和between 1961 and 2001，考生可迅速将答案信息定位至原文第十段的以下内容：“United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization （FAO） observed that in 40 years between 1961 and 2001 … At the same time， it nearly tripled its grain production from 87 million tonnes to 231 million tonnes …”该题是一道选择题，正确答案是increased nearly three times这一选项，其中three times是对原文中triple一词的同义替换。

值得指出的是，固定搭配和句型结构有时会成为解答快速阅读题目的重点。如在2013年6月的一套真题中，快速阅读部分的最后一道题目如下：“In India， critics attribute the destruction of Indian crop diversity to ————.”题干中出现了“attribute … to …”（把……归因于……）的结构，很多考生不熟悉这个表达，导致对该题的理解不到位，因此无从下手。实际上，这个结构表示因果关系，题目问的是破坏印度农作物多样性的原因是什么。要解答该题，考生需要根据题干中的destruction of Indian crop diversity将答案信息定位至原文最后一段的第一句：“In India， the Green Revolution is blamed for the destruction of Indian crop diversity …”文中的“is blamed for …”（因……受责备）实际上是“attribute … to …”的同义替换，只不过原文是被动语态。因此，原文中is之前的部分即原因，本题答案是the Green Revolution。

总结：纵观历年六级真题，快速阅读部分的难度不算大，通常只有个别题目较难。要应对快速阅读题目，考生还是要重点训练快速定位和查找信息的能力。虽说2013年12月六级考试的快速阅读变成了长篇阅读，但实际上难度不会有太大的变化。考生只要熟悉改革后的题型，在做阅读题时有针对性地训练定位和查找信息的能力，就一定能够自如地应对六级考试的长篇阅读。

从命题方式来看，此次六级考试的深度阅读部分以考查细节题为主，偶尔会出现一两道推断题或段落主旨题。笔者收集到此次六级考试的三套真题，其中深度阅读部分只出现了一道推断题。因此，考生在备考六级时还是应侧重于细节题的训练。细节题难度不算大，考生只要能够根据题干信息定位，并具备基本的句子分析能力，一般都能得分。而推断题却很容易成为“拦路虎”。下面，笔者简单分析一下推断题的题型特点和解题思路，并以本次六级考试深度阅读部分出现的一道推断题为例来具体说明，供各位考生参考。

一般而言，推断题有两种考法：一种是针对原文某个段落中的细节信息来设置题目，另一种是针对原文某个段落的段落主题来设置题目。不论是哪种考法，解题的思路其实都一样。考生可以按照下面的步骤来解答：①将答案信息定位至出题段；②快速通读全段，通读时重点关注段落首末句和表示转折、因果关系的句子，并注意标注段落中出现的高频词；③分析选项，看哪个选项与原文段落首末句、转折句、因果关系句的内容相吻合。

下面笔者就应用上述步骤来分析此次六级考试中出现的一道推断题：“We learn from the first paragraph that ————.”该题位于第一题的位置，由此可知本题针对的是原文第一段的内容。按照上文所述解题步骤，考生应首先通读第一段：“‘Usually when we walk through the rain forest we hear a soft sound from all the moist leaves and organic debris on the forest floor，’ says ecologist Daniel Nepstad. ‘Now we increasingly get rustle and crunch. That’s the sound of a dying forest.’”读完后考生会发现本段没有转折句和因果关系句，于是考生可以重点分析段落主题。全段描述了森林发出的声音和森林的生命状况之间的联系，这与选项the sound of a forest signifies its health condition的意思正好吻合，因此该选项为正确答案。

nlc202309040259

总结：深度阅读在整个六级阅读部分所占分值大、难度高，考生应该以真题为备考材料加强细节题的训练，对于偶尔出现的推断题只要掌握基本做题思路即可。

>>>> 短句问答

从命题方式来看，六级阅读的短句问答部分有五道题，这五道题有两种考法。一种考法是以特殊疑问句的形式命题，考生需要针对问题作答，答案不但要语法正确，而且要尽量简洁。另一种考法是以填空题的形式命题，考生需要根据文章内容将题干句子补充完整。第二种考法与六级快速阅读部分的填空题非常相似，都是以填空的形式提问。不过，笔者需要提醒考生，两者虽然考查形式类似，但是解题思路不同。一般而言，快速阅读部分填空题的答案往往可以在原文中直接找到，考生作答时常常可以直接照搬原文，或者只需对原文内容稍作变换。而在短句问答部分，考生有时无法直接照搬原文内容，作答时需要变换原文的句型结构，有时对原文内容的改动较大。

从解题的角度来看，六级阅读短句问答部分的题难度较大。之所以难度大，是因为短句问答是所有六级阅读题目中仅有的主观题，当考生在原文中找不到现成的答案时，就需要结合原文相关内容自己组织语言作答，这对考生的要求就更高一些。比如，2013年6月六级阅读短句问答部分的一道题目如下：“Michael’s extra drive for music was partly due to the fact that he was ———— by his mother.”根据题干内容，考生可以将答案信息定位至原文第五段的如下相关内容：“‘He seemed different to me from the other children—special，’ Michael’s mother said of him. She may not have realized that treating her son as special may have been part of the reason he became like that.”对比原文内容和题干内容，考生可以发现题干中的due to是对原文中reason的同义替换，由此可知原文中的treating her son as special即答案信息。但是考生在分析题干句子成分后会发现，此处不能直接照搬原文内容作答。题干中空格前的he在原文中作treat的宾语，因此答案应变成被动语态，即treated as special。

总结：短句问答部分难度较大，对语法的要求较高。不过，经过此次改革，2013年12月六级考试的短句问答题变成了选词填空题。在应对新的选词填空题时，考生可以适当使用往年四级阅读的选词填空题来演练，同时加强六级词汇的学习。

>>>> 2013年12月六级阅读

备考建议

面对即将到来的改革后的六级阅读考试，考生可能会感到有些慌张，不知道该如何高效备考。因此，结合上文对2013年6月六级阅读真题和今年六级改革的分析，笔者提出以下几条备考建议，供各位考生参考。

1. 从研究改革后的样题入手。改革后的六级阅读在题型和考法上都会有变化，考生如果不熟悉这些变化，便有可能在做题时不知所措。因此，考生要高度重视官方提供的样题，备考就从研究这些样题入手。考生可以到四、六级考试委员会的官方网站下载改革后的六级样题（样题下载地址：http：//www.cet.edu.cn/cet6_2013.pdf）。

2. 加强词汇和语法学习。改革后，六级阅读的短句问答题变成了选词填空题，这种题型非常注重对词汇的深度考查。虽然短句问答题在四级阅读中也会出现，但相比而言，六级考试无论在词汇上还是考题难度上都超越了四级考试。鉴于此，希望考生扎扎实实地加强词汇和语法的学习，不要期望通过“吃老底”的方式通过六级考试。

3. 以真题为主备考。复习备考时，真题是最佳的备考材料。笔者建议考生在做真题时不要只关注答案是否正确，还应尽量摸透每道题的命题思路。此外，做过的真题仍然有很高的参考价值，因此考生应该反复做真题，在做的过程中反复琢磨命题思路，重点揣摩选项的特点（正确选项一般都是对原文信息的同义替换或者对原文相关内容的概括，而错误选项一般会在原文的基础上偷换概念或者画蛇添足）。考生在重做真题时，尤其要侧重分析自己曾经做错的题目。另外，笔者建议考生在备考时尽量少接触模拟题，因为模拟题的质量参差不齐，若把模拟题作为主要复习材料，往往难以保证备考的效果。

Passage Two

Words: 1,103

How Ozone Pollution Works

A) The weather report on the radio or TV tells you that it is going to be sunny and hot and that an orange ozone alert has been issued. What is ozone? What does an orange alert mean? Why should you be concerned about it? In this article, we will examine what ozone is, how it is produced, what health hazards it poses and what you can do to reduce ozone pollution.

B) Ozone is a molecule of three oxygen atoms bound together (O3). It is unstable and highly reactive. Ozone is used as a bleach, a deodorizing agent, and a sterilization agent for air and drinking water. At low concentrations, it is toxic. Ozone is found naturally in small concentrations in the stratosphere, a layer of Earth’s upper atmosphere. In this upper atmosphere, ozone is made when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an oxygen molecule (O2), forming two single oxygen atoms. If a freed atom collides with an oxygen molecule, it becomes ozone. Stratospheric ozone has been called “good” ozone because it protects the Earth’s surface from dangerous ultraviolet light.

C) Ozone can also be found in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Tropospheric ozone (often termed “ bad ” ozone) is man - made, a result of air pollution from internal combustion engines and power plants. Automobile exhaust and industrial emissions release a family of nitrogen oxide gases (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), by-products of burning gasoline and coal. NOx and VOC combine chemically with oxygen to form ozone during sunny, high- temperature conditions of late spring, summer and early fall. High levels of ozone are usually formed in the heat of the afternoon and early evening, dissipating during the cooler nights.

D) Although ozone pollution is formed mainly in urban and suburban areas, it ends up in rural areas as well, carried by prevailing winds or resulting from cars and trucks that travel into rural areas. Significant levels of ozone pollution can be detected in rural areas as far as 250 miles downwind from urban industrial zones.

E) You can make ozone test strips to detect and monitor ozone levels in your own backyard or around your school. You will need corn starch, filter paper (coffee filters work well) and potassium iodide (can be ordered from a science education supplier such as Carolina Biological Supply or Fisher Scientific). Basically, you make a paste from water, corn starch and potassium-iodide, and you paint this paste on strips of filter paper. You then expose the strips to the air for eight hours. Ozone in the air will react with the potassium iodide to change the color of the strip. You will also need to know the relative humidity, which you can get from a newspaper, weather broadcast or home weather station.

F) When you inhale ozone, it travels throughout your respiratory tract. Because ozone is very corrosive, it damages the bronchioles and alveoli in your lungs, air sacs that are important for gas exchange. Repeated exposure to ozone can inflame lung tissues and cause respiratory infections.

G) Ozone exposure can aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma, reduce your lung function and capacity for exercise and cause chest pains and coughing. Young children, adults who are active outdoors and people with respiratory diseases are most susceptible to the high levels of ozone encountered during the summer. In addition to effects on humans, the corrosive nature of ozone can damage plants and trees. High levels of ozone can destroy agricultural crops and forest vegetation.

H) To protect yourself from ozone exposure, you should be aware of the Air Quality Index (AQI) in your area every day―you can usually find it in the newspaper or on a morning weather forecast on TV or radio. You should also be familiar with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guide for ozone-alert values.

I) What do the numbers in the AQI mean? The AQI measures concentrations of five air pollutants: ozone, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. The EPA has chosen these pollutants as criteria pollutants, but these are not all of the pollutants in the air. These concentrations are compared to a standard set out in federal law. An index value of 100 means that all of the criteria pollutants are at the maximum level that is considered safe for the majority of the population. To reduce your exposure to ozone, you should avoid exercising during afternoon and early evening hours in the summer.

J) There are several ways you can help to decrease ozone pollution. Limit using your automobile during afternoon and early evening hours in the late spring, summer and early fall. Do not use gasoline-powered lawn equipment during these times. Do not fuel your car during these times. Do not light fires or outdoor grills during these times. Keep the engine of your car or boat tuned. Make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Use environmentally safe paints, cleaning and office products (some of these chemicals are sources of VOC).

K) Besides personal attempts to reduce ozone pollution, the EPA has initiated more stringent air-quality standards (such as the Clean Air Act and its modifications) to reduce air pollution. Compliance with these standards by industries, manufacturers and state and local governments has significantly reduced the levels of many common air pollutants.

L) With continued conservation and reduction practices, adherence to ozone-pollution warnings, research and government regulation, ozone-pollution levels should

continue to fall. Perhaps future generations will not be threatened by this environmental pollutant.

M) The thing that determines whether ozone is good or bad is its location. Ozone is ‘‘good，，when it is in the stratosphere. The stratosphere is a layer of the atmosphere starting at the level of about 6 miles (about 10 kilometers) above sea level. The stratosphere naturally contains about six parts per million of ozone, and this ozone is very beneficial because it absorbs UV radiation and prevents it from reaching us.

N) Ozone is “bad” when it is at ground level. Ozone is a very reactive gas that is hard on lung tissue. It also damages plants and buildings. Any ozone at ground level is a problem. Unfortunately, chemicals in car exhaust and chemicals produced by some industries react with light to produce lots of ozone at ground level. In cities, the ozone level can rise to a point where it becomes hazardous to our health. That’s when you hear about an ozone warning on the news.

1. When ultraviolet rays from the sun separate an oxygen molecule into two single oxygen atoms in the stratosphere, the combination of a single oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule forms ozone.

2. You can make ozone test strips by yourself to find out about ozone levels in your own locale.

3. Long-time exposure to ozone is badly harmful to our respiratory system.

4. Chemicals in industrial waste gas and vehicle exhaust react with light to form lots of ozone at ground level.

5. Internal combustion engines and power plants cause the artificial tropospheric ozone, also known as “bad” ozone.

6. Ozone is very helpful because it absorbs UV radiation and separates us from it.

7. Using gasoline-powered lawn equipment in the late spring, summer and early fall may increase ozone pollution.

8. Ozone pollution occurs in urban and suburban areas as well as in rural areas.

9. In order to decrease ozone pollution, the EPA has set up more rigorous air-quality standards.

5.英语六级阅读模拟练习题及答案 篇五

Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phonein a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). “Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.”

Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on justthat.

Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,” he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.

Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.

1. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?

A. It helps us understand our memory system better.

B. It enables us to recall something form our memory.

C. It expands our memory capacity considerably.

D. It slows down the process of losing our memory.

2. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that ________.

A. they have a wider range of interests

B. they are more reliant on the environment

C. they have an unusual power of focusing their attention

D. they are more interested in what’s happening around them

3. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because ________.

A. it will easily get lost

B. it’s not clear enough for you to read

C. it’s out of your sight

D. it might get mixed up with other things

4. What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A. If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another.

B. Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.

C. Repetition helps improve our memory.

D. If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were.

5. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The process of gradual memory loss.

B. The causes of absent-mindedness.

C. The impact of the environment on memory.

D. A way if encoding and recalling.

参考答案：

1.[B] 事实细节题。根据第2段第1句可知，encoding是关注某事的一种特殊方式，这影响到以后是否能回忆起这件事来，因此B正确。

2.[D] 事实细节题。根据第3段第3句，“女性比男性的记忆力稍强，这也许是因为她们对周围的环境更加注意，而记忆正是依靠这个”，故选D “她们对于周围发生的事更感兴趣”。

3.[C] 事实细节题。根据第4段首句中说到的“视觉线索可以防止遗忘某事”可知破折号之后的警告“不要把药瓶放在药箱里，然后写一张纸条装进口袋”正是为了防止药瓶、提示性信条离开了视线，故选C。

4.[A] 推断题。根据后一段的前两句“心不在焉的另一个常见的情景是:走进房间,却不知为什么要进来。你很有可能是在想别的事”,可知本题答案为A。

6.英语六级阅读理解备考练习题 篇六

These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the body’s sensors and interpreting what must be happening—that your brain must have moved, not the other; that downward motions is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward motion.

The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds. Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. These are the windows of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burning ten miles away.

Color vision in each eye comes from six to seven million structures called cones. Under ideal conditions, every cone can “see” the entire rainbow spectrum of visible colors, but one type of cone is most sensitive to red, another to green, a third to blue.

Rods and cones send their messages pulsing an average 20 to 25 times per second along the optic nerve. We see an image for a fraction of a second longer than it actually appears. In movies, reels of still photographs are projected onto screens at 24 frames per second, tricking our eyes into seeing a continuous moving picture.

Like apparent motion, color vision is also subject to unusual effects. When day gives way to night, twilight brings what the poet T.S. Eliot called “the violet hour.” A light levels fall, the rods become progressively less responsive. Rods are most sensitive to the shorter wavelengths of blue and green, and they impart a strange vividness to the garden’s blue flowers.

However, look at a white shirt during the reddish light of sunset, and you’ll still see it in its “true” color—white, not red. Our eyes are constantly comparing an object against its surroundings. They therefore observe the effect of a shift in the color of illuminating on both, and adjust accordingly.

The eyes can distinguish several million graduations of light and shade of color. Each waking second they flash tens of millions of pieces of information to the brain, which weaves them incessantly into a picture of the world around us.

Yet all this is done at the back of each eye by a fabric of sensors, called the retina, about as wide and as thick as a postage stamp. As the Renaissance inventor and artist Leonardo da Vinci wrote in wonder, “Who would believe that so small a space could contain the images of all the universe?”

7.英语六级阅读快速提分习题 篇七

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.

1. This passage implies that war is now ___.

A. worse than in the past.

B. as bad as in the past

C. not so dangerous as in the past

D. as necessary as in the past

2. In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind” (Para 1), “this” refers to ___.

A. abolish war

B. improve weapons

C. solve international problems

D. live a peaceful life

3. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ___.

A. is an adherent of some modern ideologies.

B. does not think that adoption of any ideology could prevent war.

C. believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent war.

D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies.

4. According to the author, ___.

A. war is the only way to solve international disputes.

B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons.

C. it is impossible for the people to live without war.

D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive.

5. The last paragraph suggests that ___.

A. international agreements can be reached more easily now.

B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war.

C. nuclear war will definitely not take place.

D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war
