1、大学英语六级模拟试卷 785（无答案）一、Part I Writing (30 minutes)1 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Is City the Only Working Place for College Graduates? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 目前，大学毕业生仍把城市作为就业的第一选择2造成这和现象的原因3

2、.其实，家村和落后地区对于大学生的发展更有优势Is City the Only Working Place for College Graduates? 二、Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-4, mark

3、：Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.1 HealthHealth could be defined theoretically in terms of certain measured val

4、ues; for example, a person having normal body temperature, pulse and breathing rates, blood pressure, height, weight, acuity of vision, sensitivity of hearing, and other normal measurable characteristics might be termed healthy. But what does normal mean and how is it established? It is well-known t

5、hat if the temperatures are taken of a large number of active, presumably healthy, individuals the temperatures will all come close to 98.6F(37). The great preponderance of these values will fall between 98.4F and 98F. Thus health could in part be defined as having a temperature within this narrow r

6、ange. Similarly, a normal range can be established for pulse, blood pressure, and height. In some healthy individuals, however, the body temperature may range below 98.4F or above 98.8F. These low and high temperatures fall outside the limits defined above as normal and are instances of biological v

7、ariability.Health might better be defined as the ability to function effectively in complete harmony with ones environment. Implied in such a definition is the capability of meeting physically, emotionally, and mentallythe ordinary stresses of life. In this definition health is interpreted in terms

8、of the individuals environment. Health to the construction worker would have a dimension different from health to the bookkeeper. The healthy construction worker expects to be able to do manual labour all day, while the bookkeeper, although perfectly capable of performing his own sedentary work, wou

9、ld be totally incapable of such heavy labour and indeed might collapse from the physical strain; yet both individuals might be termed completely healthy in terms of their own way of life.The term physical fitness, although frequently used, is also exceedingly difficult to define. In general it refer

10、s to the state of optimal maintenance of muscular strength, proper function of the internal organs, and youthful vigour. The champion athlete prepared to cope not only with the commonplace stresses of life but also with the unusual illustrates the concept of physical fitness. To be in good physical

11、condition is to have the ability to swim a mile to save ones life or to slog home through snow drifts when a car breaks down in a storm. Some experts in fitness insist that the state of health requires that the individual be in prime physical condition. They prefer to divide the spectrum of health a

12、nd disease into (1) health, (2) absence of disease, and (3) disease. In their view, those who are not in prime condition and are not physically fit cannot be considered as healthy merely because they have no disease.Healthy involves more than physical fitness, since it also implies mental and emotio

13、nal well-being. Should the angry, frustrated, emotionally unstable person in excellent physical condition be called healthy? Certainly he could not be characterized as effectively functioning in complete harmony with his environment. Indeed, such an individual is incapable of good judgment and ratio

14、nal response. Health, then, is not merely the absence of illness or disease but involves the ability to function in harmony with ones environment and to meet the usual and sometimes unusual demands of daily life.The definitions of illness and disease are equally difficult problems. Despite the fact

15、that these terms are often used interchangeably, illness is not to be equated with disease. A person may have a disease for many years without even being aware of its presence. Although he is diseased, he is not iii. Similarly, the diabetic person who has known disease and has received adequate insu

16、lin treatment is not ill. The cancer victim is often totally unaware of his disorder and is not ill until after long years of growth of the turnout, during which time it causes no symptoms. The term illness implies discomfort or inability to function optimally. Hence it is a subjective state of lack

17、 of well being produced by disease. Regrettably, many diseases remain submerged for long years before they produce discomfort or impair function and, thus, escape detection and possible cure.Disease, defined as any deviation from normal form and function, may be trivial if the deviation is minimal.

18、A minor skin infection might be considered trivial, for example. On the eyelid, however, such an infection could produce considerable discomfort or illness. Any departure from the state of health, then, is a disease, whether health be measured in the theoretic terms of normal measured values or in t

19、he more pragmatic terms of ability to function effectively in harmony with ones environment.Health is not a static condition but represents a fluid range of physical and emotional well-being continually subjected to internal and external challenges such as worry, over work, varying external temperat

20、ures, bacteria, and viruses. These constantly changing conditions require the adjustment of the function of the various systems within the body. Mechanisms are continually at work to maintain a constant internal environment. The maintenance of this relatively constant internal environment is known a

21、s homeostasis (体内平衡).Bacteria, viruses, and other microbiologic agents are obvious challenges to health. The body is able, to a considerable extent, to protect itself and adjust to challenges, and, to the extent that it is successful, the state of health is maintained. While health is often thought

22、of as fragile and subject to many evils, it is, in fact, a ruggedly guarded state protected by a host of internal mechanisms. Few machines made by man could tolerate the abuse heaped on the human body and still be capable of functioning.Some of the mechanisms vital to the maintenance of health inclu

23、de (1) the maintenance of the internal environmenti. e. , homeostasis; (2) adaptation to stress situations; (3) defense against microbiologic agents, such as bacteria and viruses; (4) repair and regeneration of damaged tissue or ceils; and (5) clothing of the blood to prevent excessive bleeding. Des

24、pite these separate considerations, the commonality of purposethe preservation and maintenance of healthmust not be lost sight of. Insofar as each of these mechanisms works to maintain a constant internal environment, it can be considered as a homeostatic mechanism.2 The major functions important in

25、 the maintenance of homeostasis are fluid and electrolyte (电解质 ) balance, acid-base regulation, thermoregulation, and metabolic control. （A）Y（B） N（C） NG3 A normal range has been established for body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, height, etc. for health. （A）Y（B） N（C） NG4 According to some exper
