1、大学英语六级分类模拟题 365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)Migration is usually defined as “permanent or semi-permanent-change of residence.“ This broad definition, of course, would include a move across the street or across a city. Our concern is with movement between nations, n

2、ot with internal migration within nations, although such movements often exceed international movements in volume. Today, the motives of people who move short distances are very similar to those of international migrants. Students of human migration speak of “push“ and “pull“ factors, which influenc

3、e an individual“s decision to move from one place to another. Push factors are associated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitable job, or as traumatic as war, or severe famine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns

4、pointed at their heads are motivated almost entirely by push factors (although pull factors do influence their choice of destination). Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often these are economic, such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to

5、farm. The latter was an important factor in attracting settlers to the United State during the 19th century. In general, pull factors add up to an apparently between chance for a good life and material well-being than are offered by the place of origin. When there is a choice between several attract

6、ive potential destinations, the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence of relatives, friends, or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settled in. Considerations of this sort lead to the development o

7、f this sort lead to the development of migration flow. Besides push and pull factors, there are what the sociologists call “intervening obstacles“. Even if push and / or pull factors are very strong, they still may be outweighed by intervening obstacles, such as the distance of the move, the trouble

8、 and cost of moving, the difficulty if entering the new country, and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival. The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors“ of the potential migrant. The same push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on different people, sometimes b

9、ecause they are at different stages of their lives, or just because of their varying abilities and personalities. For example, someone likes to be steady, but somebody likes to adventure. The prospect of packing up everything and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear intere

10、sting and challenging to an unmarried young man and appallingly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another.（分数：20.00）(1).Which of the following statement about migration is Not True?

15、ies of migration.I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we should prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren“t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go

16、back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floo

17、rs up. All you can see from your windows is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each

18、other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don“t even say hello to each other. Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing tha

19、t there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There“s little possibility of going to a new s

20、how or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet. What, then, is the answer?

21、The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life doesn“t come to an end at half pa

22、st nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life“ by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic fl

23、owers they leave behindthey are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.（分数：20.00）(1).What is the main idea of the first paragraph?（分数：4.00）A.Large cities are dirty and noisy.B.A job is very important for “me“

24、.C.Many city people prefer village to city.D.Villages are tidy and peaceful.(2).According to the author, why are cities frightening?（分数：4.00）A.Because the pressure of work may make people suffer.B.Because many blocks in city are dirty, noisy and impersonal.C.Because it“s hard to find a good job in c

25、ity.D.Because living in a city is not safe.(3).Which of the following is not the disadvantage of country life?（分数：4.00）A.It is inconvenient to buy something.B.Villagers can“t enjoy the exciting events.C.Villagers have little opportunity to see a film.D.There are many friends around each villager.(4)

26、.What does the last sentence of this passage mean?（分数：4.00）A.City people want to change country life.B.City people want to combine the advantages of city and village.C.Villages don“t welcome city people.D.City people don“t concern the feeling of villagers.(5).The best title of the passage may be _.（

27、分数：4.00）A.Country Life Has Many AdvantagesB.City People Prefer Village to CityC.Country Life and City LifeD.City Life is Better Than Country LifeMassive changes in all of the world“s deeply cherished sporting habits are underway. Whether it“s one of London“s parks full of people playing softball, an

28、d Russians taking up rugby, or the Superbowl rivalling the Football Cup final as a televised spectator event in Britain, the patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition. We are witness a globalization of our sporting culture. That annual bicycle race, the Tourde France, much l

29、oved by the French is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and America and Irish riders. The people who really matter we

30、lcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest in teas. So it dose them literally a world of good to see this unofficial word championship become just that. This is undoubtedly an economic

31、 based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possibly by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations. Sell the game and you can sell Coca Cola or Budweiser as well. The skilful way in which America football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how

32、all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major moneymaking events? The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US $125, gate receipts alone were a staggering $10,00

33、0,000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the $100,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the eyes of the world are watching. So it came as a terrible shock , but no change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four 25-minute quarters rea

34、lly as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action. Moreover, as sports expand into world ma

35、rkets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them playing at a higher and higher level. A number of excellent athletes will be in great demand. In boxing we have already seen numerous, dubious world title categories because people will not pay to see anything

36、less than a “World Title“ fight, and this means that the title fights have to be held in different countries around the world!（分数：20.00）(1).What can we learn from the first paragraph?（分数：4.00）A.More people like to do some sports.B.Sporting is becoming globalized.C.Softball and rugby are popular amon

37、g people.D.A great change of sporting habits is occurring.(2).Why do the people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization?（分数：4.00）A.Because they want to maintain their reputation.B.Because the shift can make them more famous.C.Because the globalization is an inevitable trend.D.Becaus

38、e the shift can bring abundant profit.(3).What did the author mean by saying “This is undoubtedly an economic based revolution we are witnessing here“ (Para.4)?（分数：4.00）A.The enormous economic benefit triggers the revolution.B.The revolution will cost much.C.The revolution may cause economic crisis.

39、D.The revolution may change the economic model.(4).What does the phrase “a terrible shock“ (Line 1, Para.6) refer to?（分数：4.00）A.Time arrangement of the football game.B.It refers to more advertising revenue.C.Attract more audience to watch the game.D.The audience hasn“t expected the time arrangement.

40、(5).What is the main idea of this passage?（分数：4.00）A.The benefit behind the globalization of sporting.B.More people become to pay attention to sporting.C.The development of sporting.D.The globalization of sporting culture.It is frequently assumed that the mechanization of work has a revolutionary ef

41、fect on the lives of the people who operate the new machines and on the society into which the machines have been introduced. For example, it has been suggested that the employment of women in industry take them out of the household, their traditional sphere and fundamentally alter their position in

42、 society. In the nineteenth century, when women began to enter factories, Jules Simon, a French politician, warned that by doing so, women would give up their femininity. Fredrich Engels, however, predicted that women would be liberated from the “social, legal, and economic subordination“ of the fam

43、ily by technological developments that made possible the recruitment of “the whole female sex.into public industry.“ Observers thus differed concerning the social desirability of mechanization“s effects, but they agreed that it would transform women“s lives. Historians, particularly those investigat

44、ing the history of women, now seriously question this assumption of transforming power. They conclude that such dramatic technological innovations as the spinning jenny, the sewing machine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleaner have not resulted in equally dramatic social changes in women“s economi

45、c position or in the prevailing evaluation of women“s work. The employment of young women in textile mills during the Industrial Revolution was largely and extension of an older pattern of employment for young, single women as domestics. It was not the change in office technology, but rather the sep

46、aration of secretarial work, previously seen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers, from administrative work that in the 1880“s created a new class of “dead end“ jobs, thenceforth considered “women“s work“. The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth

47、 century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hir

48、e. Women“s work has changed considerably in the past 200 years, moving from the household to the office or the factory, and later becoming mostly white-collar instead of blue-collar work. Fundamentally, however, the conditions under which women work have changed little since the Industrial Revolutio

49、n: the segregation of occupations by gender, lower pay for women as a group, jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and offer women little opportunity for advancement all persist, while women“s household labour remains demanding. Recent historical investigation has led to a major revision of the notion that technology is always inherently revolutionary in its effects on society. Mechanization may even have slowed any change in the traditional position of women both in the labour market and in the home.（分数：20.00）(1).What is the main idea of the first paragraph?（分数：4.00）A.T
