2015年6月英语六级仔细阅读模拟题（第一篇）

　　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 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

　　On the high-speed train from Avignon (阿维尼翁) to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books.

　　The woman produced a large makeup case and proceeded to freshen up. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, but never once did she catch my (admittedly fascinateD. eye. My husband and I could have been a blank wall.

　　I was amused, but some people would have felt insulted, even repulsed (厌恶的). There is something about primping in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it's a question of hygiene. (Nearly everyone agrees that nail-paling and hair-combing are socially considered unwise to do.) And it's a matter of degree.

　　Grooming--a private act--has a way of negating the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me, she was not with me.

　　In fact, I am generally inhibited from this maneuver in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics executives (when it's considered unpleasant not to do it) or my female friends when it's a fun just-us-girls moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would refrain.

　　Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and an authority on American beauty rituals, says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's. Deploring the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advised managers to discourage it among clerical workers. But how much time could it take? Certainly the concern was out of proportion with the number of minutes lost. Peiss theorizes that it was the blatant assertion.of a female practice in what had been an all-male province that disturbed critics.

　　Peiss tells me that after the 30's, pulling out a compact was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice.

　　I ask if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be "a gesture of inappropriate femininity. "

　　One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.

　　It's amazing to think that in our talk-show society, where every sexual practice is openly discussed, a simple sex-specific gesture could still have the power to disturb. The move belongs in the female arsenal and, like weapons, must be used with caution.

　　56. According to the author, "My husband and I could have been a blank wall. " (Line 6, Para. 1) most probably means“__________”.

　　A. We were treated with an expressionless face.

　　B. Welooked at theFrench woman expressionlessly.

　　C. We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.

　　D. We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.

　　57. In the author's opinion, she __________.

　　A. allows public making up on certain occasions

　　B. feels comfortbale when making up in public

　　C. only makes up on social occasions

　　D. makes up before any professional gatherings

　　58. According to Peiss, nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that __________.

　　A. normal office work was disturbed

　　B. it discouraged women' s interest in career

　　C. male dominance was emphasized there

　　D. it distracted male workers' focus on work

　　59. Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?

　　A. Because they are worried about being looked down upon.

　　B. Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations.

　　C. Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields.

　　D. Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males.

　　60. It can be inferred that in a highly open society,, the differences between men and women __________.

　　A. have attracted little attention

　　B. hinder the social development

　　C. are attractive topics in talk shows

　　D. still call for great concern

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

　　The United States has a major problem on its hands. True, Britain is facing a similar problem, but for the time being it is in America that it is graver. The only way to solve it is through education. Negroes (黑人) should know about the contributions that black individuals and groups have made towards building America. This is of vital importance for their self-respect; and it is perhaps even more important for white people to know. For if you believe that a man has no history worth mentioning, it is easy to assume that he has no value as a man.

　　Many people believe that, since the Negro's achievements do not appear in the history books, he did not have any. Most people are taken aback when they learn that Negroes sailed with Columbus, marched with the Spanish conquerors of South America and fought side by side with white Americans in all their wars. People are astonished when you tell them about Phillis Wheatley, who learned English as a salve in Boston and wrote first-class poetry.

　　They have never heard of Benjamin Banneker, a mathematician and a surveyor, who helped to plan the city of Washington. There has been a tendency all along to treat the black man as if he were invisible. Little has been written about the 5,000 American Negroes who fought in the Revolution against the British, but they were in every important battle. In the Anglo-American War of 1812, at least one out of every six men in the U.S. Navy was a Negro. In the Civil War, more than 200,000 black troops fought in the Union forces.

　　How, then, did the image of the Negro as a valiant fighting man disappear? To justify the hideous institution of slavery, slave-holders had to create the myth of the docile, slow-witted Negro, incapable of self-improvement,and even contented with his lot. Nothing could be further from the truth. The slave fought for his freedom at every chance he got, and there were numerous uprisings. Yet the myth of docility persisted.

　　There are several other areas where the truth has been twisted or concealed. Most people have heard of the Negro, Carver, who invented scores of new uses for the lowly peanut. But whoever heard of Norbert Rillieux, who in 1846 invented a vacuum pan that revolutionized the sugar-refining industry?Or of Elijah McCoy, who in 1872 invented the drip cup that feeds oil to the moving parts of heavy machinery? How many people know that Negroes are credited with inventing such different items as ice creams, potato chips, the gas mask and the first traffic light?

　　Not many.

　　As for the winning of the West, the black cowboy and the black frontiersman have been almost ignored,though film producers are becoming more aware of their importance. Yet in the typical trail crew of eight men that drove cattle from Texas to Kansas, at least two would have been Negroes. The black troops of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry formed one-fifth of all the mounted troops assigned to protect the frontier after the Civil War. "What difference does it make?" you may ask. A lot. The cowboy is the American folk-hero. Youngsters identify with him instantly. The average cowboy film is really a kind of morality play, with good guys and bad guys and right finally triumphing over wrong. You should see the amazement and happiness on black youngsters' faces when they learn that their ancestors really had a part in all that.

　　61. According to the passage, education on Negroes' contributions to America __________.

　　A. contributes to the blacks' confidence of their value

　　B. proves their achievements in building the country

　　C. is still a major task for curriculum education

　　D. will solve all the conflicts between black and white people

　　62. Although Benjamin Banneker dedicated a lot to his country, he__________.

　　A. remained a slave for his whole life

　　B. was despised by all the white designers

　　C. is not mentioned in history books

　　D. ignored his achievements and kept quiet as usual

　　63. Negroes' negative impressions on people__________.

　　A. derived from their acts

　　B. turned out to be wrong

　　C. were copied by slave-holders

　　D. were passed down for generations

　　64. According to the author, examples such as Rillieux and McCoy __________.

　　A. implied that black people are all talented

　　B. encouraged more blacks to make inventions

　　C. spurred the economic development at their times

　　D. proved Negroes' great talent in invention

　　65. Black youngsters are happy to see Negroes on the screen because they are __________ .

　　A. proud of their ancestors' participation in building up the image of heroic Americans

　　B. thrilled to see their ancestors riding side by side with American whites

　　C. excited to know blacks have the right to shoot a role in films

　　D. amazed to find their ancestors were as strong and charming as white people

　　Passage One

　　【参考译文】

　　在从阿维尼翁通往巴黎的高速列车上，我和丈夫坐在列车唯一的空位上，这两个座位在车厢中部，正对面是一位中年法国妇女。直视陌生人的眼睛是极为不舒服的。我和丈夫拿出书看了起来。那个女人则拿出一个大化妆包开始梳妆打扮起来。除了午餐休息外，她在整个三小时的旅途中，一直都在做这件事。时不时地，她会明眸一撇，扫视整个车厢，但她从来没有与我视线相对(我得承认我的眼球被她吸引了)。[56]我和丈夫在她看来就像一堵空白的墙。

　　我觉得有趣，但有些人会觉得受到了侮辱，甚至会感到厌恶。在公共场合梳妆打扮总会唤起强烈的情绪反应。在一定程度上来说，这是个卫生问题。(几乎每个人都一致同意：在公共场合修指甲和梳头被公认为是不明智的社会行为。)而且，这还是个程度问题。梳妆——一种私人行为——在某种程度上否定了他人的存在。有一次我参加一个聚会，坐在一个女模特演员的旁边。她一坐下便立刻挥起一把傻里傻气的刷子开始在餐桌上打粉。这一举动表明虽然她人坐在我旁边，[56]却无视我的存在。

　　[57]实际上.在通常情况下，我不允许自己在公共场合化妆，除非身旁是美容经理(这时.如果不化妆，就会使人不愉快)或者我的女性朋友(这是“只有女性”的欢乐时光)。如果在正式聚会而非社交场合。我会禁止自己在那种场合化妆。

　　麻省大学阿默斯特分校的历史学教授及美国美学礼仪专家凯茜·佩斯说，20世纪20年代和30年代，在办公室化妆是会激起民愤的。贸易杂志谴责这种行为浪费公司时间，并建议经理阻止文职人员这么做。但是这会花多长时间呢?当然，这种担忧与所浪费的时间是不成比例的。[58]佩斯从理论上说明了是这种在曾是男性专属的领域里明目张胆地宣扬女性做法的行为让批评家很不安。

　　佩斯告诉我在20世纪30年代以后，拿出一个小粉盒就不再是什么问题了。它已经成为一种可以被接受的行为。我问她，在一次职场人士一起就餐的午餐上涂口红，她是否会觉得自在。她听后稍感震惊，说她不会这么做，她会过后在自己的私人汽车里涂。为什么呢?[59]因为这会是“一种过于女性化的表现”。有一种猜测认为大多数职业女性都是这么觉得的。有证据表明，有一种新口红很受欢迎，它可以保持一整天，无需补妆。

　　[60]令人惊讶的是，想不到在我们这个每一桩风流韵事都被公开议论的“脱口秀”社会里.某一简单的性别化的行为却仍能令人不安。这种举止应归入女性“军火库”，因此就像武器一样，使用时要谨慎。

　　【答案解析】

　　56.D

　　定位：根据题干信息词Line6，Para.1定位到第一段最后一句。

　　解析：要推断该句意思需了解第一段的主要内容。该段描述了一位法国妇女在火车上旁若无人地梳妆打扮的情形，因此坐在她对面的作者发表了这句感慨，由此可推断D项符合原文意思。其实，第二段也出现了类似的在公共场合化妆的情况，末句提到“却无视我的存在”，这也印证了正确答案为D。

　　57.A

　　定位：由各选项中都出现的关键词makeup定位到第三段。

　　解析：该段讲述作者对在公共场合化妆的态度。作者提到：“实际上，在通常情况下，我不允许自己在公共场合化妆。除非身旁是……如果在正式聚会而非社交场合，我会禁止自己在那种场合化妆。”显然作者并非反对在所有公开场合下化妆，因此A符合文意，是正确答案。而C项中only表述过于绝对。

　　58.C

　　定位：根据题干信息词Peiss定位到第四段最后一句。

　　解析：本句佩斯分析了女性在办公室化妆会遭批评的原因。该句说：“佩斯从理论上说明了是这种在曾是男性专属的领域里明目张胆地宣扬女性做法的行为让批评家很不安。”由此可见佩斯认为批评家评论女性在办公室化妆，是因为他们认为办公室应是男性统治的地盘。化妆这种女性化的做法让他们不安，故C项是正确答案。

　　59.B

　　定位：根据题干信息词professional women和lipsticks定位到第五段第三句。

　　解析：题干问职业女性在公众场合放弃使用口红的原因。第三句提到了口红，接着第六句进行了解释，说“因为这会是‘一种过于女性化的表现”’。由此可见在公共场合，职业女性不应过于女性化，故B项是正确答案。

　　60.D

　　定位：根据题干信息词a highly open society定位到最后一段第一句。

　　解析：该句提到，令人惊讶的是，想不到在我们这个每一桩风流韵事都被公开议论的“脱口秀”社会里，某一简单的性别化的行为却仍能令人不安。每一桩风流韵事都被公开议论的社会已然高度开放了，但是在这种社会里男女有别的话题仍被人们所注意。原文中have the power to disturb与D项中call for greatconcem呼应，故D项为正确答案。

　　Passage Two

　　【参考译文】

　　美国目前存在一个重大问题。的确，英国也正面临相似的问题，但目前，这个问题在美国更为严重。

　　[61]解决这个问题的唯一途径是教育。黑人应该知道黑人个体以及团体在建设美国的过程中所做的贡献。这对于他们的自尊心至关重要,而且让白人知道这件奎或许更为重要。因为如果你认为一个人没有值得一提的历史的话。就会很容易断定他毫无作为人而存在的价值。

　　[62]很多人都认为，既然黑人所取得的成就没有出现在历史书里，那么，他们就没有任何成就。当得知黑人曾与哥伦布一道航行，与征服南美洲的西班牙人一起行军，同美国白人在所有战争中并肩作战时，大多数人都被吓了一跳。当人们得知菲莉丝·惠特利在波士顿做奴隶时学会了英文并写出了一流的诗歌时，他们都大为吃惊。[62]他们从未听说过本杰明·班纳克，这位数学家兼测量员帮助规划了华盛顿市。一直以来都有一种倾向，就是将黑人视为隐形人。有关5000位美国黑人在大革命中与英国作战的历史鲜有记载，然而，每一场重要的战役他们都参加了。在1812年英美战争中，美国海军每六个人中至少有一个是黑人。在美国内战中，拥有20多万人的黑人部队在联邦军队中作战。

　　那么，黑人作为英勇战士的这一形象是如何消失的呢?[63]为了要给丑恶的奴隶制度正名.奴隶主就得塑造出顺从、笨拙、无法自我完善且安于天命的不实的黑人形象。没有什么比这更加离谱的了。黑人奴隶一有机会就为其自由而战，并发起了无数次的起义。然而，有关黑人顺从的谎言依然存在。在其他几个方面，真理也被扭曲或掩盖了。大多数人都听说过为普通的花生发明出许多新用途的黑人卡弗。[64]然而，有谁听说过诺伯特·瑞利克斯?他在1846年发明了真空锅，给制糖业带来了革命。又有谁听说过伊莱贾·麦科伊?他在1872年发明了可以把汽油灌输到重型机械活动部件的滴水杯。又有多少人知道是黑人发明了各种各样诸如冰激凌、炸土豆片、防毒面具以及第一盏交通信号灯等物品?并没有多少人。

　　至于西部扩张胜利这件事，黑人牛仔及黑人拓荒者几乎都被忽视了，尽管电影制片人越来越意识到他们的重要性。然而在把牲畜从得克萨斯州赶往堪萨斯州的典型的八人驮运队中，至少有两人是黑人。第九和第十骑兵部队的黑人军队占内战后被分配去保护边疆的所有骑兵部队的五分之一。你可能会问：“这又有什么关系呢?”有很大关系。牛仔是美国的民族英雄。年轻人很容易对牛仔产生认同感。普通的牛仔电影真的是一种道德剧：有好人，有坏人，而最终正义打败了邪恶。[65]你们真该看看黑人青年在得知他们的祖先的确对所有这一切做过贡献时，脸上所露出的惊异和幸福的神色。

　　【答案解析】

　　61.A

　　定位：根据题干信息词education和Negroes’contributions定位到第一段第三至第五句。

　　解析：这三句在谈论黑人对美国的贡献时说：“解决这个问题的唯一途径是教育。黑人应该知道黑人个体以及团体在建设美国的过程中所做的贡献。这对于他们的自尊心至关重要……”其中，“对于他们的自尊心至关重要”解释了为什么需要教育黑人，让他们知道黑人曾对美国做出了贡献。A项中confidence oftheirvalue是原文中their self-respect的同义转述，由此可见A项符合文意，故为答案。

　　62.C

　　定位：根据题干信息词Benjamin Banneker定位到第二段第四句。

　　解析：首句是本段的主题句，指出：“很多人都认为，既然黑人所取得的成就没有出现在历史书里，那么。他们就没有任何成就。”接着在第四句以Benjamin Banneker为例，指出：“他们从未听说过本杰明·班纳克，这位数学家兼测量员帮助规划了华盛顿市。”由此可见，他不为人知的原因是历史书中未提及，故C项为正确答案。

　　63.B

　　定位：根据题千信息词negative impressions定位到第三段第二句。

　　解析：由本句可知：“为了要给丑恶的奴隶制度正名，奴隶主就得塑造出顺从、笨拙、无法自我完善且安于天命的不实的黑人形象。”由此可知，有关黑人顺从、笨拙等的负面印象是由奴隶主编造出来的，这种印象是错误的。故B项符合文意，为答案。

　　64.D

　　定位：根据题干信息词RiUieux和McCoy定位到第四段第三和第四句。

　　解析：该段以黑人的各种发明成果例证了黑人在发明方面的创造力。第三、四句具体讲述了题干中两位黑人的发明成果。本段多次使用了invent的各种词性，突出了黑人在发明创造方面的才能。故D项符合文意，为正确答案。

　　65.A

　　定位：根据题干信息词black youngsters定位到最后一段。

　　解析：从最后一段可知，电影中的牛仔都是白人，因此黑人牛仔被忽视了。黑人青年乐于在屏幕上看到他们的祖先也同样是极具传奇英雄色彩的美国牛仔，原因是他们对其祖先曾做过的贡献感到自豪，A项与文意相符。故为答案。
