1、大学英语六级分类模拟题 380 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)What is the most striking image to emerge from this autumn“s Occupy protests? Was it the campus police officer in Davis, California, casually pepper-spraying a line of seated protesters? Or the white-shirted cop in New Y

2、ork, doing the same to a pair of unarmed, penned-in women? Perhaps it was a street in Oakland, deserted except for protesters and a line of black-helmeted riot police, the silence broken when one of the cops fires a rubber bullet at a protester filming him. Protesters have complained, as ever, about

3、 police infiltration, but as these videos were made clear, protesters and other citizens are keeping their eyes on police, too. More than two-thirds of Americans own digital cameras. Around one-third of adults own a smart phone. Most of these devices can record and easily transmit audio and video. R

4、ecording police has never been easier, and thanks to social-media and activist networks such as Copwatch, which monitors police activity and posts videos to the web, neither has publicizing these recordings. That does not always go over well. People peaceably filming police have been handcuffed, bea

5、ten, had their cameras seized, and been arrested for obstructing governmental administration, obstructing an investigation, interference, disturbing the peace, or for illegal wiretapping. In taking such action the police are on shaky legal ground. The right to photograph people, including police off

6、icers, in public places, is relatively clear. Adding audio, however, raises a new set of legal issues. Most states have single-party consent laws concerning audio recording, meaning that as long as one party consents to being recorded, the taping is legal. In most of the 12 states in which all parti

7、es must consent to be recorded, a violation occurs only if the subjects being recorded have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Arguing that police officers carrying out their duties in public have such a right is a challenge. The attorney-general in Maryland, an all-party-consent state, wrote in 2

8、010 that few interactions with police could be considered private. And challenges are mounting in two of the statesIllinois and Massachusettswithout expectation-of-privacy clauses. In Massachusetts last August, a federal appeals court upheld a lower court“s ruling that a citizen“s right to film poli

9、ce in public is protected by the first and fourth amendments. During oral arguments, one of the judges hearing the challenges to the Illinois Eavesdropping Act worried that allowing recording might hinder the ability of the police to do their jobs. He gave the example of a policeman talking to a con

10、fidential informant. Police have also expressed concern about recording, and hence exposing, undercover officers. But of course police can still speak in private. Given the actions of some police officers when confronted with a camera, filming cops may not be prudent. But neither should it be illega

15、 to the environment, aviation has a rather dirty reputation. The industry produced 689 million tons of CO 2 in 2012, according to Air Transport Action Group and this number is sure to grow as global demand for flight continues to skyrocket. “Aviation will double in size worldwide in the next two dec

16、ades, and if we“re not able to provide a sustainable means to fly, we will create a ceiling for growth in the industry,“ says Ignaas Caryn, director of innovation at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. As a result, it looks like the aviation industry being ready to green up its game. In January, Boeing announ

17、ced a new initiative to build a biofuel supply chain in the United Arab Emirates, as well as research it“s conducting into biofuels made from salt water-consuming desert plants. To name just a few partnerships, the airplane manufacturer teamed with Virgin Australia Airlines is to produce sustainable

18、 aviation fuels from special trees in Australia. Airbus has also joined other aerospace companies in launching the ITAKA initiative, a collaborative project funded by the European Union to produce and test the use of sustainable jet fuel. Frederic Eychenne, Airbus“ head of new energies, notes that n

19、o single crop will do the job for biofuels, and that to achieve true sustainability, biofuellike foodis best when it“s locally-sourced. “Different countries grow different crops. They have different refineries in place. Sustainability isn“t just about reducing emissions in the air. We have to consid

20、er the whole life-cycle in terms of production,“ he notes. The main barrier to use biofuel on a larger scale, says Caryn, is the price. “Today, bio jet fuel is still three to four times more expensive than fossil fuel, because there“s no continuous production. There“s a demonstrated hole in the valu

21、e chain,“ he notes. To solve the problem, in 2010 KLM became a joint founder of SkyNRGa major supplier of eco-efficient jet fuel. “We believed the development of bio jet fuel was important, and that we couldn“t keep it within the boundaries of KLM, so we decided to come up with a new company. In the

22、 last five years, SkyNRG have supplied approximately 25 airlines,“ he says. SkyNRG is also working with airlines and airports around the world to create bioportsor supply chains of sustainable jet fuelin a bid to ultimately bring down the price. “With an increase volume, we could see price parity wi

23、thin the next ten years,“ says Caryn.（分数：20.00）(1).According to Ignaas Caryn what will blocks aviation“s development?（分数：4.00）A.Fierce competition within the industry.B.Bad service.C.Air pollution.D.No sustainable aviation fuels.(2).According to the passage which of the following companies did not t

24、ake part in making sustainable aviation fuels?（分数：4.00）A.Virgin Australia Airlines.B.Boeing.C.Airbus.D.KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.(3).According to Frederic Eychenne how to achieve true sustainability?（分数：4.00）A.Using crops to produce fuel.B.Using trees to produce fuel.C.Using local resources to produc

26、price of biofuel?（分数：4.00）A.Producing more biofuel.B.Creating bioports.C.Improving the technology.D.Finding more partnerships.There is no shortage of adjectives one can apply to airline seats: uncomfortable, bulky, cramped, outdated and from an airline“s point of viewoverpriced. It“s no wonder then

27、that many carriers are looking to make a change. Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO at Recaro Aircraft Seating, notes that accommodating passengers“ personal devices has become an necessity, though one that few manufacturers have yet to address this problem. At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany last

28、 month, Recaro unveiled their newest design in economy seating, called theBL3530. The new seat has a tablet PC holder, a small pocket, and a power supply for charging. The BL3530 follows another vital trend: at 10 kilograms per seat, it“s lighter than its predecessors. “Fuel costs are extremely high

29、 these daysthis is just an accepted fact in the industry. As a result, every kilogram counts,“ says James Lee, director of Paperclip Design Limited, an award-winning industrial design studio. According to Benjamin Saada, Expliseat“s CEO, the CO 2 savings are even more significant. “Every aircraft we

30、 equip saves 1,200 tons of CO 2 per year. That“s the equivalent of planting 45,000 trees,“ he says. “Imagine if every airplane in the world signed on. It could completely change the global fuel emissions.“ One particularly awkward feature of airline seats is their lack of multifunctionality. They re

31、cline, and that“s about as adaptive as they get. Papercilp is hoping to change that with its new Caterpillar Convertible seat. The Caterpillar can be configured as a roomy Premium Economy seat, or converted into a Business Class seat with a lie-flat bed and direct aisle access. “The core aim is to a

32、llow airlines to adjust their cabin capacity based on demand,“ says Lee. “Flights from London to New York might have a big need for Business Class, for example, but if you use the same plane to fly to Phuket, the demand for lie-flat seats could be a lot less. This design allows the airline to adapt,

33、“ he adds. Unfortunately, there hasn“t been a lot of demand for the innovation. “I“ve showed the design to a lot of manufactures, and they“ll say, “oh, that“s nice,“ but there hasn“t been a lot of needs for it. The issue is cost,“ he says. Though the concept may not catch on on planes, it could beco

34、me a feature of seating on the ground. “It“s more likely one day to see (the armrest) in theatres and cinemas. There are fewer regulations on the ground than in the air, so there“s less resistance to new products,“ he says.（分数：20.00）(1).Why does James Lee say “every kilogram counts“?（分数：4.00）A.Ticke

35、ts are very expensive.B.You should pay extra money for your luggage.C.The fuel is very expensive.D.The plane is very heavy.(2).What“s the goal of Recaro when he designed Caterpillar Convertible seat?（分数：4.00）A.To make people feel more comfortable.B.To attract more customers.C.To meet a passenger“s v

36、arious needs.D.To allow airlines to adjust their cabin capacity based on demand.(3).Why there is not a lot of demand for Recaro“s innovation?（分数：4.00）A.Because it is more expensive.B.Because it takes too much space.C.Because it is too heavy.D.Because it do not fit the plane.(4).Why does Recaro think

37、 theatres and cinemas will accept his innovation?（分数：4.00）A.Because they have a very spacious place.B.Because there is fewer regulations.C.Because they are more receptive.D.Because they can afford dear products.(5).A suitable title for the passage would be?（分数：4.00）A.Problems with Airline Seats.B.A

38、New Design in Economy Seating,C.Improvements about Airplanes.D.Global Fuel EmissionsEveryone knows Hong Kong as the lively island city is home to over seven million people perpetually on the move. But it may be a surprise to learn that many of the residents in this bustling city don“t spend much tim

39、e searching in their pockets for change, especially on public transport. Instead, they whip out their Octopus, a contactless smart card with a chip that communicates with a fare processor in less than a second. It has been in use in Hong Kong since 1997. But what“s new about Octopus is that recent a

40、dvances in technology mean that it“s being used with phones too. “Now with the advance of smart card technology, we“ve been able to insert the Octopus mobile SIM inside a smart phone,“ explained Octopus CEO Kevin Goldmintz, in an interview with CNN“s Kristie Lu Stout. Since the Octopus card was rele

41、ased nearly two decades ago, its use has branched off into much more than just transport. Forgot your wallet, purse or cash? Not to worry. The Octopus can buy your coffee, a movie ticket, clothes, groceries and even allow you to shop online. Another new venture is that Octopus has recently partnered

42、 with Taobao. Though purchases have to remain relatively small with a current ceiling of $130 on each card, Octopus says it allows the customer to easily interact for a purchase. Octopus has broadened its reach into mainland China with a dual card in Guangdong province and another in Shenzhen. “We“r

43、e able to put a Hong Kong dollar purse inside the card, as an e-wallet“ said Goldmintz. Octopus says its vision for the next ten years includes tackling the physical / digital convergence and growing its e-commerce strategy. “And I think the other side of it will also be exporting the knowledge that

44、 we“ve accumulated over 17 years of doing contactless smart card, and placing that knowledge in other cities around the world,“ Goldmintz told Stout. As for the future, Octopus is optimistic that a cashless society will spread to other areas, particularly in its own patch of the Asia-Pacific area. “

45、You know I buy my lunch with my Octopus. I pay for drinks on Octopus. I buy coffee with my Octopus,“ said Goldmintz. “So I think there will be day when both Hong Kong and other cities around Asia-Pacific particularly will be looking towards a cashless society,“ he said. “I think we“re going to make

46、huge in-roads in the next five to ten years in this.“（分数：20.00）(1).When did the Octopus first appeared in Hong Kong?（分数：4.00）A.In 1996.B.In 1997.C.In twenty-first century.D.In last decade.(2).With an Octopus you can do the following things except _.（分数：4.00）A.buying foodB.buying a $150 furniture on

47、TaobaoC.taking a busD.buying a movie ticket(3).Where people cannot use Octopus or dual card?（分数：4.00）A.Hong Kong.B.Guangdon.C.Zhuhai.D.Shenzhen.(4).According to Goldmintz what will happen for the next ten years?（分数：4.00）A.Octopus will be used in every corner of China.B.Octopus will export the knowle

48、dge about contactless smart card.C.Everyone in Hong Kong will have an Octopus.D.Octopus will be able to replace E-bank.(5).What“s Goldmintz“s attitude towards Octopus“ future?（分数：4.00）A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Not clear.D.Pessimistic.Yamagata-born Ken Okuyama, well known in automobile design circles

49、, was brought into style the company“s super glossy new Cruise Train. Holding a maximum of 34 passengers, the Cruise Train will have 10 carriages made up of five suites, one deluxe suite, two glass-walled observation cars, a dining car and lounge. Okuyama has worked as a chief designer for General Motors, a senior designer for Porsche AG and design director for Pininfarina, the company behind the Ferrari Enzo and Maserati Quattroporte. According to his company, Ken Okuyama Design, he wanted to create a train that would allow passengers “to appreciate the flow of the time and spac
