1、大学英语六级分类模拟题 376及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：0，分数：0.00)As fans enjoy football“s (soccer“s) month-long World Cup, Brazilian authorities are pleased over the boost they say the tournament is giving the country“s economy. However, independent analysts who study such events are l
2、ess enthusiastic. The 2014 World Cup has injected an estimated $15 billion into the Brazilian economy and created many jobs. Regarding the human legacy, the numbers are extraordinary: the creation of one million jobs in the country due to this great event, one million jobs or 15 percent of all the j
3、obs created this year in Brazil. The government has invested $11 billion in stadiums and infrastructure and another $2 billion in security. It is expected to spend billions more preparing for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio. But an analyst who studies such great events, Architecture and Urbanism Profe
4、ssor at Rio de Janeiro“s Fluminense Federal University, Chris Gaffney, believes these figures are exaggerated. “I don“t think that they“ve invested enough money to create those kinds of permanent jobs. In the scale of the Brazilian economy, we“re not looking at that much money being invested. It“s 3
5、0 billion dollars invested in a $1 trillion economy.“ Another expert, Lisa Delpy Neirotti of George Washington University“s business school in the United States, says the real economic benefits of such events are less tangible and more long-term. “There“s a lot of transfer of knowledge,“ she said. “
6、People are learning more about hospitality. There“s also the broadcast center where they“re being trained in how to use technology. And so I think it“s in the media sector, a lot in the hospitality industry and also in licensing and merchandizing, retail.“ She said. “Yes, there“s been a lot of money
7、 spent here but we have to realize that the infrastructure that they“ve built up around the World Cup is something that will last and it stays in the country.“ Other analysts say the Cup may help the Brazilian economy but it also boosts inflation and public debt. Less than half of the Brazilians in
8、a recent poll believed that hosting the Cup was a good idea. And there have been many demonstrations against the Cup, though they have declined since the tournament began. Nevertheless, many Brazilians are proud to host the World Cup and the 600,000 foreign visitors it brings. The hope is that they
9、will spread the good word about Brazil when they return home.（分数：20.00）(1).According to the passage why is Brazilian government so pleased with the World Cup?（分数：4.00）A.It will spread the good word about Brazil.B.It will enhance Brazil“s international status.C.It has boosted its economy.D.It has cre
10、ated many jobs.(2).Which of the following can not be inferred from “independent analysts who study such events are less enthusiastic“ (Para.1) ?（分数：4.00）A.They don“t trust the authorities“ words.B.The tournament is not a good thing for Brazil.C.The tournament does not bring such a boost as the autho
11、rities thought.D.The tournament also has some negative influence.(3).Why Chris Gaffney believes these figures are exaggerated?（分数：4.00）A.The tournament cannot produce so many jobs in such short time.B.Because the economic benefits of such events are less tangible and more long-term.C.Because it is h
12、ard to estimate the actual money spent on it.D.Given the scale of Brazilian economy, they cannot invest enough money to create so many permanent jobs.(4).The examples of hospitality and infrastructure proves that _.（分数：4.00）A.the benefits of such events are long-term and intangible.B.the event has c

14、s die hard. Picture a video-game player and you will likely imagine a teenage boy, by himself, compulsively hammering away at a game involving rayguns and aliens that splatter when blasted. Today a gamer is as likely to be a middle-aged commuter playing “Angry Birds“ on her smartphone. In America, t
15、he biggest market, the average game-player is 37 years old. Two-fifths are female. Even teenagers with imaginary rayguns are more likely to be playing “Halo“ with their friends than playing alone Over the past ten years the video-game industry has grown from a small niche business to a huge, mainstr
16、eam one. With global sales of $56 billion in 2010, it is more than twice the size of the recorded-music industry. Despite the downturn, it is growing by almost 9% a year. Is this success due to luck or skill? The answer matters, because the rest of the entertainment industry has tended to treat gami
17、ng as being a lucky beneficiary of broader technological changes. Video gaming, unlike music, film or television, had the luck to be born digital: it never faced the struggle to convert from analogue. In fact, there is plenty for old media to learn. Video games have certainly been swept along by two
18、 forces: demography and technology. The first gaming generationthe children of the 1970s and early 1980sis now over 30. Many still love gaming, and can afford to spend far more on it now. As gaming establishes itself as a pastime for adults, the social stigma and the worries about moral corruption t
19、hat have historically greeted all new media, from novels to pop music, have dissipated. Meanwhile rapid improvements in computing power have allowed game designers to offer experiences that are now often more cinematic than the cinema. The industry has excelled in two particular areas: pricing and p
20、iracy. In an era when people are disinclined to pay for content on the web, games publishers were quick to develop “freemium“ models, where you rely on non-paying customers to build an audience and then extract cash only from a fanatical few. In China, where piracy is rampant, many games can be play
21、ed online for nothing. Finns instead make money by selling in-game perks and “virtual goods“ to dedicated players. China is now the second-biggest gaming market, but does not even rank in the top 20 markets for the music business. As gaming comes to be seen as just another medium, its tech-savvy app
22、roach could provide a welcome shot in the arm for existing media groups. Time Warner and Disney have bought games firms; big-budget games, meanwhile, now have Hollywood-style launches.（分数：20.00）(1).We can learn from the passage that the most of today“s game-players are _.（分数：4.00）A.teenagers playing
23、 by himselfB.very keen about “Angry Bird“C.femaleD.middle-aged people(2).How does technology promote the development of video games?（分数：4.00）A.It allowed game designers to offer awesome experiences.B.It helps to produce more complex games.C.It makes characters in games more powerful.D.Making scenes

25、 from its huge audience.(4).How do firms make money in China?（分数：4.00）A.Charging players for games played online.B.Gaining money from advertisements.C.Selling in-game perks and “virtual goods“.D.Selling video games.(5).Which of the following titles suits the passage best?（分数：4.00）A.Popularity of Vid
26、eo GamesB.GamesA Big IndustryC.Who Play Games Today?D.Games and TeenagersProduction of the Ambassador, the first car to be made in India, has been halted because of falling demand. Modelled on the Morris Oxford, the car“s design has changed little since it first went into production in 1957. But mot
27、oring journalist Hormazd Sorabjee is not too upset to see it go. Generations grew up with this car. It was a taxi for many and a family car for the rich. It transported prime ministers, MPs and bureaucrats. It was truly India“s national car, dominating the roads for decades. When India“s economy was
28、 liberalised in the early 1990s, global car-makers and their latest models were allowed into the country for the first time. But the Ambassador continued to have a loyal, although fast-shrinking, fan following. Modern cars in their quest for sleeker styling and better dynamics come with lower roofli
29、nes. They can never match the Ambassador“s high seating position and generous headroom. This made getting in and out easy, while the car“s low front bench gave rear passengers a wonderful, uninterrupted view of the road ahead. Today“s cars with their big bucket seats, thick pillars (structural uprig
30、hts that support a car“s roof) and high window lines just don“t have the same sense of airiness. There can be no doubt, the Ambassador“s departure marks the end of an era. However, for me, it“s an era best forgotten. The Ambassador was a symbol of all that was wrong with India“s controlled economy a
31、nd its stifling regulations. Car makers could not increase prices or make more cars without the government“s approval. They couldn“t import technology or components and had to make do with locally developed bits and pieces that were carelessly produced. Buyers were saddled with cars of very bad qual
32、ity, which constantly broke down and yet the waiting list to buy one could stretch up to eight years! And there were Ambassador jokes aplenty, my favourite one being: “The only thing that doesn“t make a sound in an Ambassador is the horn!“ For the best part of 30 years, the Ambassador got only minim
33、al cosmetic upgrades. The first big change, possibly prompted by emission regulations, was an all-new engine. When I tested the Ambassador for an automobile magazine in the mid-1990s, it was the fastest-accelerating car in India, outpacing the more modern Fiats and Maruti-Suzukis of that age. That i
34、t needed the length of an airport runway to stop it was another matter. The maker had barely upgraded the brakes. Modern cars have taken away every last reason left to buy an Ambassador except one: to have a slice of automotive history sitting in your garage.（分数：20.00）(1).We can learn from the passa
35、ge that the Ambassador _.（分数：4.00）A.is a big car with a sleek style.B.is the first car to be made in India.C.is a car only rich people can buy.D.still dominate the Indian market.(2).Why the author say the era represented by Ambassador best be forgotten?（分数：4.00）A.Because it is a time of social disor
36、der.B.Because it is a time of extreme poverty.C.Because it is a time of controlled economy and its stifling regulations.D.Because it is a time of civil wars.(3).What does the joke in fifth paragraph show?（分数：4.00）A.The Ambassador is of very bad quality.B.The Indian people are very humorous.C.The Ind
37、ian people are very positive.D.The roads at that time were very bad.(4).Which of the following is not true about the first big change about The Ambassador?（分数：4.00）A.It was mainly due to emission regulations.B.It was an all-new engine.C.It was a new brakes.D.It needed the length of an airport runway
38、 to stop it.(5).What“s the the main idea of the passage?（分数：4.00）A.The quality of the Ambassador.B.The history about the Ambassador.C.The nostalgic feeling towards the Ambassador.D.The departure of the Ambassador.A diet rich in protein is the best way to lose weight, leading nutritional scientists w
39、ill say today. Millions could keep in trim simply by ensuring they eat plenty of meat, fish, eggs and dairy every day. High-protein diets check the urge to eat more fatty foods. But counting calories can be a waste of time, they say. Dieters would see far greater results by forgetting about calories
40、 and ensuring they eat more lean meat and reduced-fat dairy. Given the complex way our appetites work, eating too little protein increases the risk that people will eat more fatty foods. Researchers say it is no coincidence that obesity rates have soared over the past 60 years with Britain now in th
41、e grip of an epidemic at a time when we eat less protein. Nutritional ecologist Professor David Raubenheimer, from the University of Sydney, said: “We can use this information to help manage and prevent obesity.“ He said the findings, to be presented at the Society for Experimental Biology meeting i
42、n Manchester today, may explain why high-protein regimes such as the Atkins diet, have been shown to help weight loss. But he warned: “We also need to get the balance of fats and carbs right.“ For, while high-protein diets appear to help weight loss, they are also high in saturated fat which can inc
43、rease cholesterol levels. This, in turn, can lead to other health problems such as heart disease. He said the best approach for people is to give up processed junk food to lead a healthier life. Professor Raubenheimer said: “A simple rule for healthy eating is to avoid processed foodsthe closer to r
44、eal foods, the better. “No human population has until recently encountered “ultra-processed foods“, made from industrially extracted sugars, starches and salt. Our bodies and appetites are not adapted to biscuits, cakes, pizzas and sugary drinks, and we eat too much of them at our peril.“ Eleana Pap
45、adopoulou, nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, said: “Protein-rich foods tend to make people feel fuller than foods rich in carbohydrates or fat,“ But she warned against some popular high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets that “claim to help people lose weight“ while increasing in
46、take of fats. Protein is essential for growth and repair of the body, maintaining good health and providing energy.（分数：20.00）(1).Why a diet rich in protein is the best way to lose weight?（分数：4.00）A.Because it has little fat.B.Because it makes people digest better.C.Because it checks the urge to eat
47、more fatty foods.D.Because it does not adds fat in our body.(2).Why obesity rates have soared over the past 60 years according to the passage?（分数：4.00）A.People eat too much fast food.B.People eat less protein.C.People eat much more food.D.People eat too much processed junk food.(3).Why should we avo
48、id processed foods?（分数：4.00）A.They contains many harmful ingredients.B.Our bodies and appetites are not adapted to processed food.C.They have very little protein.D.They contain too much fat.(4).Which of the following is not included in the benefits of protein?（分数：4.00）A.It is essential for growth an
49、d repair of the body.B.Eating it can make people lose weight.C.It can provide energy.D.It is easy to be digested.(5).What“s special about protein rich food compared with foods rich in carbohydrates or fat?（分数：4.00）A.They are more delicious.B.They make people feel fuller.C.They can provide more energy.D.They helps to maintain good health.A hugely wealthy wife is suing The Ritz in London after she lost 2 million in a single evening at its casino, saying it knew she was a gambling addict and should have stopped her.
