生活方式，一种在各种各样的情况下的行为方式。”由此可见，本文中的智力指如何看待生活并根据看待生活的态度行事的方式。D项与文意相符，故选D。该项中howapersonlooksatlife和actsupon分别与原文中astyleoflife和behaving对应。22、Itcanbeinferredthatwhenconfrontedwithaproblem,anunintelligentpersonusuallyA、thinksaboutitonceandagainandarrivesatacorrectdecisionB、cherisheshopeandpaysmoreattentiontothepositivesideC、escapesfromtherealityanddoesnotgiveanactivereactionD、indulgesinthevirtualworldanddoesthingswithimagination标准答案：C知识点解析：推断题。根据题干中的problem和allunintelligentperson定位到第二段第一句至第四句。这四句描述有智慧的人怎样对待问题，指出：“有才智的人，不论年长年幼，遇到新的情况或问题时，都会豁达地面对。他会努力用心和感知去尽可能多地弄清楚问题的所有细节。他思考问题，而不是考虑自己或是这个问题将给他带来什么后果。他大胆地、富有想象地、机智地去应对这个问题，而且，就算不是信心十足，至少也是满怀希望。”显然，文中对有智慧的人使用的都是表示积极态度的褒义词，由此可推断愚蠢之人会回避现实并消极应对，C项与文意相符，故选C。23、Tobeintelligent,childrenareexpectedto________.A、becleverenoughtoworkoutverydifficultquestionsB、beactiveinlifeandholdsoptimisticattitudestowardsitC、beinvolvedindifficultiesasmuchaspossibleD、getunitedwithotherpeopleinthesociety标准答案：B知识点解析：细节题。根据题干中的children定位到第三段第二、三句。对于什么是聪明的孩子，这两句指出：“聪明的孩子对生活和现实充满了好奇，渴望与之接触、拥抱、合而为一。他和生活之间没有围墙，没有障碍。”由此可见，聪明的孩子对待生活态度积极而乐观，B项与文意相符，故选B。24、Whatdoesthemaximthatthereismorethanonewaytoskinacat(Line7,Para.3)mean?A、Therearemanywaystokillacat.B、Youmaygoyourwaytoskinacat.C、Therearemanywaystoreachyourgoal.D、Youhavemanychoicesbeforemakingdecisions.标准答案：C知识点解析：语义题。根据题干可直接将答案线索定位到第三段，这句格言出自该段第五句。这句格言的含义在下文，即第六句，进行了解释——种办法行不通，他会尝试另一种。由此可知C选项符合原文，故选C。25、What’stheauthor’sopinionabouteducation?A、Ithindersthedevelopmentofintelligenceinsteadofpromotingit.B、Itstimulatestheprocessofthedevelopmentofintelligence.C、Itmakesussmarterinunderstandingthings.D、Itoffersmoreopportunitiesforintellectualgrowth.标准答案：A知识点解析：细节题。根据题干中的education定位到第四段最后一句。关于教育对智力的影响，该句指出：“它遭到了破坏，它是被我们误称为“教育”的过程——一个在大多数家庭和学校里进行的过程——破坏的，这要比任何其他事物的破坏都严重得多。”由此可见，按照作者的说法，教育不仅没有促进智力的发展，反而阻碍了它的发展。A项与文意相符，故选A。Thestressoforganisingabigweddingcanleavemanycouplesatbreakingpoint,astheybattletocoordinateacelebrationonascalewhichwouldtaxevenprofessionaleventplanners.Butcoupleswrestlingwith150-seattableplansshouldtakeheart,fornewresearchsuggeststhatbiggerweddingspredictmoresuccessfulmarriages.Althoughcynicsmayarguethatpeoplewhocanaffordanopulent(奢华的)weddingarelikelytobefinanciallysecure,andthereforehappier,theresearchersclaimthatthecorrelationremainsevenwhencontrollingforwealth.Theybelievethatmarryinginfrontofalargenumberofpeopledemonstratesgreatercommitmenttotheunionwhilealsodiscouragingdivorce."Thereissomereasontobelievethathavingmorewitnessesataweddingmayactuallystrengthenmaritalquality,"saidleadauthorDr.GalenaRhoades."Wetrytokeepourpresentattitudesandbehavioursinlinewithourpastconduct.Thedesireforconsistencyislikelyenhancedbypublicexpressionsofintention."Weddingsmayfostersupportforthenewmarriagefromwithinacouple'snetworkoffriendsandfamily.Thosewhoholdaformalweddingarelikelytohavestrongersocialnetworksinthefirstplace."ThereportispartoftheongoingNationalMarriageProjectintheUSwhichhasbeenstudyingwhatmakesmarriagesworksince1997.Thesurveyof418peoplefoundthatonly30percentofcoupleswhohad50orfewerguestsattheweddinghadhighly-successfulmarriages.Incontrast,nearlyhalf(47percent)ofcoupleswhohad150guestsormorehadstrongunions.NationalMarriageProjectdirectorBradWilcoxadded:"Coupleswithlargernetworksoffriendsandfamilymayhavemorehelp,andencouragement,innavigatingthechallengesofmarriedlife."Theresearchalsodiscoveredthatcoupleswhohadfewerpartnersbeforemarriagewerehappierandmorecontent.Havingseveralrelationshipsbeforegettingmarriedmayleadcouplestocomparetheircurrentpartnerswithformerlovers,theauthorswarn."Wegenerallythinkthathavingmoreexperienceisbetter.Ifyouwerehiringanarchitect,forexample,youwouldwanttohireanarchitectwithmore,notless,experiencetobuildyourhouse,"saidDr.Rhoades."Butwhatwefindforrelationshipsisjusttheopposite.Havingmoreexperiencewasrelatedtohavingalesshappymarriage."Havingmorerelationshipexperiencemayleadtoagreatersenseofwhatthealternativesare.Ifyouhaveagreatersenseofotheroptionsitmaybehardertoinvestin,orcommittoamarriage."Theresearcherscallitthe"VegasFallacy"—noteverythingthathappensinVegas,staysinVegas,theywarn."Thepastdoesnotalwaysstayinthepast"addedDr.Rhoades.26、Whatdoestheword"tax"meaninParagraph1?A、Extractmoneyfromsomebody.B、Makesomebodyfeelstressful.C、Hiresomebody.D、Surprisesomebody.标准答案：B知识点解析：语义题。根据题干中的tax一词定位到原文第一段，该段前半句中提到，筹划一场盛大的婚礼的压力可使众多爱侣变为怨偶。后半句紧承前文，再由靠近句末的even一词可以推知，此处是在通过职业婚礼策划人的感受来强调筹办婚礼带给人的压力。tax作动词时，其常用语义为“对……征税”，还有一个语义为“造成重负，使超过极限”，该句中应该是采用的第二个释义。本句意为：他们为这场庆典竭力协凋，即便是职业婚礼策划人也会倍感煎熬。四个选项中与此含义最为接近的是B项，故选B。27、Whatdocynicsthinkoftheresultofthenewresearch?A、Theydon’tthinkpeoplewithmoremoneyarehappier.B、Theydon’tthinkahappymarriageisrelatedtowealth.C、Theythinkfinancialsecuritystrengthenmaritalquality.D、Theythinktheresearchjustcoveredrichpeople.标准答案：C知识点解析：细节题。根据题干中的cynics定位到原文第二三段，该段中指出，虽然愤世嫉俗的人或许会说，那些有能力负担奢华婚礼的夫妻基本经济条件无忧，所以日子自然过得愉悦。不过研究人员声称，即便是拥有财富，婚礼规模与婚姻幸福这二者之间的关系也依然存在。由此可知，四个选项中，只有C项表述符合原文，故选C。28、WhatdowelearnabouttheNationalMarriageProjectfromthepassage?A、Itwasstartedin1977andisstillgoingon.B、Itmainlystudieswhatimprovesrelationships.C、Itdidasurveyamong418peopleintheUK.D、Itaimstofindoutwhatmakesmarriagework.标准答案：D知识点解析：(细节题。根据题干中的NationalMarriageProject定位到原文第八段，该段明确地提到了该项目，指出NationalMarriageProject从1997年开始便致力于研究婚姻长久幸福的秘密。D项表述符合原文，故选D。A项中提到的始于1977年这一说法不符合原文。该项目研究的是婚姻长久的因素，而不是改善情感关系的因素，故B项表述也不正确。该段提到了该研究是在美国进行的，而非英国，故也可以排除C项。29、Whycoupleswhohadfewerpartnersbeforemarriagewerehappier?A、Theyarelesslikelytokeepintouchwiththeirformerlovers.B、Theyaremorewillingtoinvestinandcommittomarriage.C、Theytendtohavemorefaithineachother.D、Theyhavemoreconfidenceinthemselves.标准答案：B知识点解析：推断题。根据题干中的hadfewerpartnersbeforemarriagewerehappier定位到原文第十一段，该段及其后面的段落对结婚之前恋爱次数较少的夫妻进行了论述。第十四段中引用DLRhoades的话指出，恋爱经验丰富的人可能会更懂得给自己留回旋的余地。如果你总是觉得还有别的选择，那就会更难去投入或恪守婚姻。由此可以推知，恋爱次数少的夫妻之所以婚姻更加幸福，也在于他们更加愿意去投入和恪守婚姻，B项表述正确，故选B。其他几项在原文中并未提及。30、WhatdoesDr.Rhoadesmeanbysaying"Thepastdoesnotalwaysstayinthepast"inthelastparagraph?A、Weshouldletgoofthepast.B、Peopleshouldcherishthepast.C、Thepastwillalwaysexistinourmind.D、Thepastmayhaveinfluenceonthecurrent.标准答案：D知识点解析：语义题。本题考查DLRhoades在文章最后说的一句话的意思。从字面上来看，意思是“过去并不总是停留在过去”，而前面的几个段落中一直在陈述的都是婚前恋爱经历丰富的人婚姻幸福程度不如婚前恋爱经历少的夫妻，并分析了原因在于恋爱史丰富的人会更容易拿现在的伴侣去和以前的情人比较，也更难去对一段感情投入或者坚守婚姻。题目中考查的句子紧接前文，由此不难推断该句想要表达的意思，即过去不会止步于过去，会对以后有影响，故选D。大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷第2套一、词汇理解(本题共10题，每题1.0分，共10分。)InhisnewbookCreativeIntelligence,BruceNussbaumarguesthatcreativityisanundervaluedskillthatanyonecancultivate.Notjustforartistsand【C1】________heargues,creativeintelligence—orCQforshort—iswhat【C2】________thewinnersandlosersofthebusinessworldaswell.Whatiscreativeintelligence?Taking【C3】________ideasandscalingthemintothecreationofnewproductsandservices.Weareall【C4】________withacapacitytobecreative,andwegetitbeatoutofusinalotoftheschoolsthatwegoto.Wehaveto【C5】________it,andit'snotthathard.Howcanwebemorecreative?Creativityisallaboutmakingconnectionsandseeingpatterns.It'snotalightbulbthatgoesoffinyourhead.Beforethatlightbulbgoesoff,lotsofthingsarehappening.Lotsofideas.Weneedtimetostepbackandmake【C6】________betweenthosethings.Weneedtostopbeinghyperconnected(过度联想)anddeliberatelytakeamomenttobe【C7】________aboutwhatwe'redoing.Peopleoften【C8】________creativitywithsoloartists,butinfact,collaborationfosterscreativitymoreoftenthanworking【C9】________Howso?Creativityissocial.Whenyoureadbooksaboutcreativitytoday,thenarrativeofcreativityisthatitisabrainfunctionorit'sageniusthing.Itisrareandcomesoutoftheindividual.Butwhenyoulookatalmostalltheinnovationsthataremeaningfulinourlivestoday,likeFacebookandGoogle,they'realldonebytwoorthreepeople.Allthe【C10】________haveabuddy.Creativitycomesoutofsmallteamsoftwosorsixes.It'sprobablynotreallyrequiredtohaveeveryoneintheoffice,butyoudoneedcertainpeopleinteracting.A)aloneE)connectionsI)literallyM)relearaB)associateF)individualJ)mindfulN)separatesC)bornG)inevitablyK)musiciansO)socialD)collaborationH)innovatorsL)original1、【C1】标准答案：K知识点解析：名词辨义题。根据空格前的artists及并列连词and可以判断，此处需要填入一个与artists并列的表示职业的名词。在备选名词中，musicians意为“音乐家”，表示一种职业，并与artists相关联，故选K。2、【C2】标准答案：N知识点解析：动词辨义题。根据空格前的what及空格后的thewinnersandlosers可以判断，空格所在的表语从句中缺少一个谓语动词。由于该从句的主语what指代creativeintelligence，故动词用单数第三人称形式。在备选词汇中，separates意为“区分”是单数第三人称且符合语境，故选N。3、【C3】标准答案：L知识点解析：形容词辨义题。根据空格后的ideas可以判断，此处需要填入一个形容词。空格所在句子是对创造力的解释说明，具有创造力的人，其见解和想法应该是独创的。在备选词汇中，original意为“原创的，独创的”，符合语境，故选L。4、【C4】标准答案：C知识点解析：动词辨义题。根据空格后的with可以判断，此处需要填入一个动词或形容词。空格所在句子提到我们都具有创造力，而我们在学校接受教育的过程中一点点失去了它。备选词汇中，只有born(出生)符合语境，故选C。bebornwith意为“天生具有，与生俱来”。5、【C5】标准答案：M知识点解析：动词辨义题。根据空格前的haveto可以判断，此处需要填入一个动词
