10、ish AThe reign of the trophy(奖品 )kitchen is officially over. The dream kitchens of today arent about the sexiest six-burner range or the most exotic countertop material. As cooking has returned to center stage and remodeling budgets have sobered, the kitchen island is nurturing family togetherness a

11、nd reviving casual entertaining. BIn kitchens with a small footprint, glass tiles, quartz counters and dish drawers are adding sparkle and practicality. The kitchen of 2013 has soul. “ That industrial, commercial style was looking a little cold,“ says Samantha Emmerling, kitchen editor at Hearst Des

12、ign Group. “People are spending all their time in there, and they want it warm and inviting, as well as low-maintenance. “ CA kitchen renovation is still costly. The average 2013 kitchen remodeling job is $ 47,308 , down $ 3 ,742 from last year, according to the National Kitchen others say the gray

13、metal color sets off gray cabinets, counters and walls. 7. Glass Backsplashes(橱柜的后挡板 ) NGlass tiles are the jewelry of a kitchen for Tynesia Hand-Smith, a Bloomingdale interior designer. “They add great shimmer,“ she says. With neutral colors ruling in cabinets and counters, glass tile is one way to

14、 add color and personality. “ Reds, greens and blues, vibrant colors are trending right now, as is iridescent glass,“ says DeeDee Gundberg, an Ann Sacks Tile product development manager. Instead of using the ubiquitous white subway tile backsplash, she suggests substituting large-format glass tile i

15、n a similar shape. “Light blue glass tiles are still very traditional with white cabinets but look very fresh,“ Gundberg adds. 11 The choice of cabinets is the most important for homeowners when they decide to remodel their kitchens. 12 The kitchen of 2013 becomes impressive and practical because ne

16、w materials are used in the kitchen. 13 More and more remodeled kitchens use LED lighting, because LED bulbs use less electricity and produce little heat. 14 Homeowners not only want more than just trends, but also want to make their kitchens a comfortable place to enjoy themselves. 15 Gray is a fas

Secti

19、on C 20 Scientists have begun using satellite-based systems to predict volcanic eruptions. This allows blanket coverage of the entire world. Envisat is the most advanced craft of this type. It has sensors that, by recognizing the characteristic optical signature of various substances in the atmosphe

20、re, can detect the presence of specific gases, such as sulphur dioxide(二氧化硫 ). These may indicate an imminent(即将来临的 )volcanic eruption. Mike Abrams, a scientist at Americas space agency, NASA, says that the limiting factor on all such satellites is, surprisingly, not technological, but temporal. The

21、 orbits in which they are placed allow them to observe the entire earth, but they cannot pass over a particular spot more frequently than once every 15 days or so. Dr. Abrams argues that more satellites are needed to gather sufficient data on the earths volcanoes. Ecisting satellites, though, do at

22、least serve as an early warning system. If one of them detects something amiss, local volcanologists can then intensify their local monitoring efforts. If necessary, they can even initiate an evacuation. In addition, it is important to predict lahars(火山泥石流 ), flowing mixtures of rock, debris, ash an

23、d water, which are often set off when hot lava meets cold snow. Lahars can travel down a mountain as fast as 60 kilometres per hour. In 1985 a lahar set off by the eruption of the Nevada del Ruiz volcano in Colombia killed 25,000 people. With acoustic flow monitors, such as those developed by the US

24、GS in the last five years, such a tragic loss of life might have been averted. The flow monitors are seismometers(地震检波器 ), which measure vibration, and are sensitive to higher frequencies than those often used to record earthquakes and volcanic activity. This lets them hear lahars from a long way of

25、f, creating a valuable extra hour of time that can be used to evacuate. Such systems are now in place all round the world. Volcanic eruption are dangerous not only to people on the ground, but also to those in the air. According to the USGS, more than 80 commercial aircraft have run into unexpected

26、volcanic ash in the past 15 years, with the resulting damage costing hundreds of millions of dollars, If the optimists are right, the threat from volcanoes could one day become a known one. There is a problem, though. The work that needs to be done relies on the continual use of satellites and groun

27、d monitoring. Volcanologists are now issuing a new warning: it is particularly hard to get funding for this kind of work. This is something that everybody should be bothered about. 21 How can existing satellites predict volcanic eruption? （ A） They use monitoring systems to detect the presence of sp

28、ecific gases. （ B） They use sensors to detect the presence of specific gases. （ C） They detect the presence of specific gases by gathering data on the earths volcanoes. （ D） Their orbits allow them to observe the entire earth and predict volcanic eruptions. 22 By saying “more satellites are needed t

29、o gather sufficient data on the earths volcanoes“(Lines 5 -6,Para. 2), Dr. Abrams implies that_. （ A） more satellites have already been used to observe the entire earth （ B） the frequency of satellites passing over a particular spot is too low （ C） it is difficult to predict volcanic eruptions （ D）

30、satellites used to predict volcanic eruptions are not sufficient 23 The example of a lahar from the Nevada del Ruiz volcano in 1985 is used to show that acoustic flow monitors_. （ A） are effective in predicting lahars （ B） are used all around the world （ C） can completely prevent lahars （ D） are sen

31、sitive to higher frequencies 24 What is this passage mainly about? （ A） Effective control over volcanic eruptions. （ B） Effective prediction about lahars. （ C） Damage of volcanic eruptions to human beings. （ D） Perspective of prediction about volcanic eruptions. 25 What is the authors attitude towar

32、d the prospect of volcanic eruption prediction? （ A） Pessimistic. （ B） Skeptical. （ C） Bothered. （ D） Regretful. 25 Since World War II, all nations of the world have shown a great interest in economic growth. Most of them have shown a percentage increase of their GNPeach year, the highly developed n

33、ations having shown the greatest growth rates. However, in spite of their growth rates, these nations have been plagued by two serious problems: inflation and unemployment. At one time economists believe that there was a trade off between inflation and unemployment: that generally prices would rise

34、faster than wages and employment, but these would quickly fall, and that a fall in wages would bring a fall in prices. However, for some time the Westen economies have been suffering from both continually increasing inflation and continuity increasing unemployment. Other problems have accompanied te

35、chnological development. These include the pollution of water and air by the waste of factories, dumped solid wastes from many technical operations(including atomic ones), and the deterioration of workers health in many factories, mines and other industrial operations. The concentration of populatio

36、n in cities has given rise to many problems of housing, educational and medical services, and higher and higher crime rates. These are the social costs of economic growth which must be met by the society. Yet the costs for meeting these problems is not computed in the GNP. Technological development

37、and the economic growth dependent on it have brought about great changes in the economic systems which were described by the classical economists. Production has been concentrated into a few large corporations, such as the oil companies and the automobile producers. At the same time, it has been the

38、 practice for large companies to buy whole or controlling interests in unrelated areas of production: aircraft companies which own radio and television stations or even book publishing companies, for example. Some of these large corporations are frequently operating in many countries of the world; t

39、hey are then called multinational companies. These practices have centralized economic activity, completely destroying the free market which was the basis of classical economics, and have greatly changed the concept of free trade. This development in the Western world has brought its economic system

40、s closer to the command market systems of the former USSR. In both the Western and Eastern economic system there has been a greater centralization of economic production, which has brought about more confusing complexity in the relationships of economic activities. At the same time larger bureaucrac

41、ies, both in privately owned corporations and in governments, have become necessary to cope with the increasingly complex problems. 26 The word “plagued“(Line 4, Para. 1)probably means_. （ A） disturbed （ B） interfered （ C） suffered （ D） annoyed 27 What serious economic problem has troubled developin

42、g economies in spite of the growth of the GNP in them? （ A） Population growth. （ B） A fall in price. （ C） Inflation and unemployment. （ D） A fall in wages. 28 According to the passage, it can be inferred that one of the problems of technological development is_. （ A） the pollution of water and air （

43、 B） an increase in the general standard of living （ C） an improvement in workers health in many industrial operations （ D） suburban problems of housing, higher crime rates, etc. 29 What has caused the great changes in the economic systems? （ A） The centralization of economic activity in a few large

44、corporations. （ B） The destruction of the classical free market. （ C） The development of large bureaucracies, both private and governmental. （ D） Technological development and the economic growth on it. 30 The business practices of the multi-national companies result in_. （ A） the enhancement of the

45、 basis of classical economics （ B） the economic growth around the world （ C） the change of the idea of free trade （ D） the decentralized economic activity 大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷 128答案与解析 Section A 【知识模块】 选词填空 1 【正确答案 】 D 【试题解析】 该句句意为：如果你想在面试中胜过那些拥有更好的经历，更优异的成绩和其他优势的竞争对手的话，你需要努力培养高度工作态度。再联系下文的 positive a
