1、大学英语六级分类模拟题 373 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)It is possible for students to obtain advanced degrees in English while knowing little or nothing about traditional scholarly methods. The consequences of this neglect of traditional scholarship are particularly unfortun

2、ate for the study of women writers. If the canonthe list of authors whose works are most widely taughtis ever to include more women, scholars must be well trained in historical scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know how to read early manuscripts, locate rare hooks, establish a seq

3、uence of editions, and so on are bereft of crucial tools for revising the canon. To address such concerns, an experimental version of the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to raise students“ consciousness about the usefulness of traditional learning for any modern critic or theorist.

4、 To minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course, the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods was abandoned, though this procedure has the obvious advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students with a w

5、ide range of reference sources. Instead students were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on a neglected eighteenth-century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship and to inspire them to take responsibility for the quality of their own

6、work. Griffith“s work presented a number of advantages for this particular pedagogical purpose. First, the body of extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could all be read in a day; thus students spent little time and effort mastering the literature and had a clear field for their own di

7、scoveries. Griffith“s play The platonic Wife exists in three versions, enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addition, because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth century, as her continued productivity and favourable reviews d

8、emonstrate her exclusion from the canon and virtual disappearance from literary history also helped raise issues concerning the current canon. The range of Griffith“s work meant that each student could become the world“s leading authority on a particular Griffith text. For example, a student studyin

9、g Griffith“s Wife in the Right obtained a first edition of the play and studied it for some weeks. This student was suitably shocked and outraged to find its title transformed into A wife in the Night in Watt“s Bibliotheca Britannica. Such experiences, inevitable and common in working on a writer to

10、 whom so little attention has been paid, serve to vaccinate the studentI hope for a lifetimeagainst credulous use of reference sources.（分数：20.00）(1).Which one of the following is not required for those scholars who are eager to revise the canon?（分数：4.00）A.Be familiar with early books.B.Search books

11、that are not regular published.C.Read numerous historical books.D.Know how to do textual editing.(2).What is the purpose of opening a new course for students in paragraph 2?（分数：4.00）A.To satisfy the needs of scholarsB.To make schools more diversifiedC.To enlarge more students having more choicesD.To

12、 enable students to be aware of the function of traditional learning(3).The word “exclusion“ (Line 8, Para.3) is closest in meaning to _.（分数：4.00）A.illustrationB.qualificationC.assimilationD.elimination(4).Which of the following best describes the function of paragraph 3 in relation to the text as a

13、 whole?（分数：4.00）A.It summarizes the advantages that students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course.B.It provides additional reasons why students should choose the course.C.It provides an illustration students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course.D.It contrast

14、s the experience of a student in the experimental scholarly methods course with that in the traditional course.(5).It can be inferred that the author of the text considers traditional scholarly methods courses to be _.（分数：4.00）A.too wide-ranging to approximate genuine scholarly activityB.too narrow

15、for understanding the writer“s perspectiveC.unconcerned about the accuracy of backgroundD.irrelevant to the work of most studentsThey“re still kids, and although there“s a lot that the experts don“t yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what kids use and expect from their world has

16、 changed rapidly. And it“s all because of technology. To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy (懂技术的) Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way

17、even their older siblings don“t quite get. These differences may appear slightly, but they signal an all-encompassing sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation. The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen of California Stat

18、e University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the in Generation and the Way They, Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in hi

19、s 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation , that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the “iGeneration“. “The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it“s also a mind-set, and the mind-set goes with the little “i“, which I“m talking to stand f

20、or “individualized“ Rosen says. “Everything is defined and individualized to “me“. My music choices are defined to me. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to “me“.“ He says the iGeneration includes today“s teens and middle-schoolers, but it“s too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and y

21、ounger. Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. “If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it,“ he says. “They expect innovation.“ They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use “will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desir

22、es.“ Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connectedeven in class, where cell phones are supposedly banned. Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the br

23、ains of young people to be wired differently. “They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do,“ Rosen says. “But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development.“ Because these kids are more immersed and at yo

24、unger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly. “The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential (指数的), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think,“ Rosen says. “We have to give them opt

25、ions because they want their world individualized.“（分数：20.00）(1).Compared with Millennial generation, what is the distinct feature of the new generation?（分数：4.00）A.They are familiar with more technology than their elders.B.They prefer to live a flee and colourful life.C.They are equipped with more m

26、odern digital techniques.D.They are likely to communicate with others by high-tech methods continually.(2).Why is the new generation called as iGeneration?（分数：4.00）A.Because this generation emphasizes on an individualized style of life.B.Because this generation is characterized by the adoption of hi

27、gh-tech devices.C.Because this generation are more interesting.D.Because this generation are in a connection with internet.(3).Which one of the following is TRUE about the iGeneration according to the passage?（分数：4.00）A.This generation is so innovative that they can invent and create new thingsB.Eve

31、 department or a client, your reaction may be panic. But remember that being asked to present is a compliment. Someone believes that you have valuable information to share with the group, and wants to listen to your ideas. You need to decide exactly what you will say during the allotted time. Conden

32、se your topic into one sentence. What do you want your audience to remember or learn from your talk? This is your “big idea“. Remember that your are dealing with the short attention spans of individuals who tend to have many things on their minds. Think of three main points you want to make to suppo

33、rt your overall topic. Develop a story to demonstrate each of those concepts. This could be something that happened to you or someone you know, or something you read in a newspaper or magazine. We have all heard the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words.“ Think about how your presentation can

34、be more interesting to watch. Props are a wonderful way to make your talk come alive. You could do something as simple as holding up a toy phone receiver when talking about customer service or putting on a hat to signal a different part of your talk. Think of dynamic and unusual way to start your pr

35、esentation. This might involve telling anecdotes that relate to your topic. Never begin with, “Thank you for inviting me here to talk with you today.“ You will put your audience to sleep right away. Start off enthusiastically so they will listen with curiosity and interest. After your energetic intr

36、oduction, identify yourself briefly and thank the audience for taking the time to listen to you. Plan your ending, and finish in a memorable way. Your listeners remember best what they hear at the beginning and end of a speech, so conclude with a game in which they can participate, or tell a humorou

37、s story and your audience will leave laughing. Don“t try to memories your talk or read it word-for-word. It will sound stilted and boring. Instead, practice your dynamic introduction and conclusion until you can deliver them effortlessly. If you do this you“ll feel a burst of confidence that will he

42、y of Being HumorousDropping out of university to launch a start-up is old hat. The twist with Joseph Cohen, Dan Getelman and Jim Grandpre is that their start-up aims to improve how universities work. In May 2011 the three founders quit the University of Pennsylvania to launch Coursekit, soon renamed

43、 as Lore, which has already raised $ 6m to develop what Mr. Cohen, its 21-year-old chief executive, describes as a social-learning network for the classroom. Lore is part of a trend that builds on the familiarity with social networking that has come with the success of Facebook. It customizes the ru

44、les of a network to meet the specific needs of students. Anyone teaching a class would reasonably worry that students using Facebook were gossiping rather than learning useful information from their network of friends. Lore allows teachers to control exactly who is in the network by issuing a class-

45、membership code and to see how they are using it. They can also distribute course materials, contact students, manage tests and grades, and decide what to make public and what to keep private. Students can also interact with each other. In the academic year after launching its first version last Nov

46、ember, Lore was used in at least one class in 600 diversities and colleges. Its goal for its second year, about to begin, is to spread rapidly within those 600 institutions, not least to see what the effects of scale are from having lots of classes signed up within the same institution. The firm has

47、 a fast-growing army of fans in the faculty common room. Lore, says Edward Boches, who uses it for his advertising classes at Boston University, makes teaching “more interactive, extends it beyond the classroom and stimulates students to learn from each other rather than just the professor.“ Among o

48、ther challenges for the company, there remains the small matter of figuring out a business model. For the moment it has none. Mr. Cohen hopes that eventually Lore could become the primary marketplace for everything from courses to textbooks, but so far the service is free and carries no advertising.

49、 Blackboard, the industry incumbent (占有者), charges users for its course-management software. It remains to be seen how it will respond to the upstart. The lack of a plan does not appear to bother Lore“s founders or investors, who seem content to learn a lesson from another university drop-out, Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook: achieve critical mass in your network and the profits will follow. And after that, perhaps they can expect an honorary degree.（分数：20.00）(1).What can we infer from paragraph 1 of the passage?（分数：4.00）A.University is no longer a fascina
