1、大学英语六级分类模拟题 454 及答案解析(总分:497.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数:0,分数:0.00)二、Section A(总题数:1,分数:71.00)Minority ReportAmerican universities are accepting more minorities than ever. Graduating them is another matter. ABarry Mills, the president of Bowdoin College, was justifiably proud of Bowdoin
2、“s efforts to recruit minority students. Since 2003 the small, elite liberal arts school in Brunswick, Maine, has boosted the proportion of so-called under-represented minority students in entering freshman classes from 8% to 13%. “It is our responsibility to reach out and attract students to come t
3、o our kinds of places,“ he told a NEWSWEEK reporter. But Bowdoin has not done quite as well when it comes to actually graduating minorities. While 9 out of 10 white students routinely get their diplomas within six years, only 7 out of 10 black students made it to graduation day in several recent cla
4、sses. B“If you look at who enters college, it now looks like America,“ says Hilary Pennington, director of postsecondary programs for the Bill neither his policy nor his accounts receive corporate contributions. Does his job instability and lack of benefits worry him? Nope. The 26-year-old does not
5、expect to hold a traditional 9-to-5 job unless he starts his own business again, and he is not overly pessimistic about the recession“s long-term effect on his career. “I don“t pay that much attention to what is going on in the economy,“ he says. “I just found stuff I was interested in.“ Whatever yo
6、u make of this attitude-smart, entitled, tech savvy (聪明的), risky, or bold-Benton is arguably the prototype (典型) of the new and perhaps ideal worker in the post-recession economy. Still, this savvy demographic group isn“t immune from the career setbacks of the recession. Workers born after 1980, who
7、are having a harder time gaining a foothold in the job market, may face lower earnings over the next several years of their careers. Those who opt for traditional corporate careers have had to readjust their expectations. For some young, well-educated workers such as 24-year-old Adrian Muniz, the re
8、cession has been startling. Muniz graduated from Brown University in 2007 and moved to New York City, expecting to easily find work at a magazine. Instead, he ended up working at high-end retail stores for the past three years and doing media internships on the side to build up his (分数:71.00)(1).Wha

13、“ attitude towards their future?(分数:14.20)A.Negative.B.Uncertain.C.Positive.D.Conservative.In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We“re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build rsums so they can get into the college of our first choice. I
14、“ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids“ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we“ve raised them. But we can“t acknowledge that our obsession (痴迷) is more about us than them. So we“ve contrived various justificatio
15、ns that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn“t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford. We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won“t be enough prizes to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Unde
16、rlying the hysteria (歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausibleand mostly wrong. We haven“t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or pre

On two measuresprofessors“ feedback and the number of essay examsselective schools do slightly worse. By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates“ lifetime earn
18、ings. The gain is reckoned at 24% for every 100-point increase in a school“s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke (偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates fro
19、m higher-status schools. Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it“s not the only indicator and, paradoxically, its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college isn“t life“s only co
20、mpetition. In the next competitionthe job market and graduate schoolthe results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn“t.
21、So, parents, lighten up. The stakes have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but m
22、ay also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints.(分数:71.00)(1).Why does the author say that parents are
23、the tree fighters in the college-admissions wars?(分数:14.20)A.They have the final say in which university their children are to attend.B.They know best which universities are most suitable for their children.C.They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application.D.
