fferenceofgydinBeowulfandthesongsliesinaestheticsinsteadoftime.标准答案：D知识点解析：细节题。选项A关键词为“troubadours”(游吟诗人)，可定位于第一段最后一句，意为“英语诗歌中的吟唱传统主要源自游吟诗人”。选项B关键词“harpist”(竖琴)，可定位于第一段，“toaharpist’saccompaniment”(伴随竖琴的伴奏)。选项C，第二段第二句，意为“作为文学作品的吟唱诗歌与流行歌的歌词从根本上是相同的：诗歌”。选项D，定位于第二段第一句，“oneoftimeratherthanaesthetics”，选项与原文意思恰好相反。19、Theword"prerequisite"inparagraph3isclosestinmeaningto____.A、prescriptionB、premiseC、preferenceD、prediction标准答案：B知识点解析：语义题。原文第三段第一句意为，“好的诗歌和歌词最重要的前提是作者应该忠实于自己的视野和自己创作诗歌的想象力”。选项B“premise”与“prerequisite”(前提，先决条件)为近义词替换。此题也可用排除法，“prescription”(处方)、“preference”(偏好)、“prediction”(预测)代入原文，意思均不符合。20、Whatisthemajordifferencebetweenanexcellentlyricsandapopularsongaccordingtothepassage?A、Mostwritersofpopularsongsarenotloyaltohimselfbuttooutsideworld.B、Thematerialsandcontent.C、Excellentlyricshaveimpliedmeanings.D、Popularsongslackoforchestrationtechniques.标准答案：A知识点解析：细节题。根据题干定位于第三段第一句与最后一句。第一句明确指出好的诗歌与歌词的重要前提是作者应忠实于自己。而最后一句，“…thewritersandsingersofthelyricsofpopularsongshaveseemedoftentobeincapableofpersonalvision…”意为，流行歌曲的作词人和演唱者常常不能忠实于自身视野。由此可知好的歌词与流行歌曲的区别。大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷第2套一、仔细阅读(本题共20题，每题1.0分，共20分。)InthefirstyearorsoofWebbusiness,mostoftheactionhasrevolvedaroundeffortstotaptheconsumermarket.Morerecently,astheWebprovedtobemorethanafashion,companieshavestartedtobuyandsellproductsandserviceswithoneanother.Suchbusiness-to-businesssalesmakesensebecausebusinesspeopletypicallyknowwhatproductthey'relookingfor.Nonetheless,manycompaniesstillhesitatetousetheWebbecauseofdoubtsaboutitsreliability."Businessesneedtofeeltheycantrustthepathwaybetweenthemandthesupplier,"sayssenioranalystBlaneErwinofForresterResearch.Somecompaniesarelimitingtheriskbyconductingonlinetransactionsonlywithestablishedbusinesspartnerswhoaregivenaccesstothecompany'sprivateintranet.AnothermajorshiftinthemodelforInternetcommerceconcernsthetechnologyavailableformarketing.Untilrecently,Internetmarketingactivitieshavefocusedonstrategiesto"pull"customersintosites.Inthepastyear,however,softwarecompanieshavedevelopedtoolsthatallowcompaniesto"push"informationdirectlyouttoconsumers,transmittingmarketingmessagesdirectlytotargetedcustomers.Mostnotably,thePointCastNetworkusesascreensavertodeliveracontinuallyupdatedstreamofnewsandadvertisementstosubscribers'computermonitors.Subscriberscancustomizetheinformationtheywanttoreceiveandproceeddirectlytoacompany'sWebsite.CompaniessuchasVirtualVineyardsarealreadystartingtousesimilartechnologiestopushmessagestocustomersaboutspecialsales,productoffering,orotherevents.ButpushtechnologyhasearnedthecontemptofmanyWebusers.Onlineculturethinkshighlyofthenotionthattheinformationflowingontothescreencomestherebyspecificrequest.Oncecommercialpromotionbeginstofillthescreenuninvited,thedistinctionbetweentheWebandtelevisionfades.That'saprospectthathorrifiesNetpurists.ButitishardlyinevitablethatcompaniesontheWebwillneedtoresorttopushstrategiestomakemoney.TheexamplesofVirtualVineyards,A,andotherpioneersshowthataWebsitesellingtherightkindofproductswiththerightmixofinteractivity,hospitality,andsecuritywillattractonlinecustomers.Andthecostofcomputingpowercontinuestofreefall,whichisagoodsignforanyenterprisesettingupshopinsilicon.Peoplelookingback5or10yearsfromnowmaywellwonderwhysofewcompaniestooktheonlineplunge.1、WhatdowelearnaboutthepresentWebbusiness?A、Webbusinessisnolongerinfashion.B、Business-to-businesssalesarethetrend.C、Webbusinessisprosperousintheconsumermarket.D、ManycompaniesstilllackconfidenceinWebbusiness.标准答案：D知识点解析：第2段开头的Nonetheless表明该句与首段提到的内容有转折关系，而D与该句内容相同，为本题答案。2、EstablishedbusinesspartnersarepreferredinWebbusinessbecause_____.A、theyaremorecreditablethanothersB、theyspecifytheproductstheywantC、theyhaveaccesstothecompany’sprivateintranetD、theyarecapableofconductingonlinetransactions标准答案：A知识点解析：由第2段最后一句可知公司这样做的原因是为“控制风险”，而再由上文中的reliability，trust等词可看出风险问题是源于“信誉”问题，只有A与该段所说的核心意思相符，故选A。3、PointCastNetworkismostprobably_____.A、acompanythatdevelopsthelatestpushsoftwareB、atoolthatpromotesacompany’sonlinemarketingC、thefirstcompanythatusedanonlinepushsoftwareD、themostpopularsoftwarethathelpsacompanypush标准答案：A知识点解析：第3段第4句开头的Mostnotably表明该句提及的PointcastNetwork是说明上一句观点的例子，由此可见，PointcastNetwork应为一家开发软件的公司，因此A为本题答案。4、Netpuristsaremostworriedthat_____.A、onlytherequestedinformationcomestothescreenB、theNetisfilledwithcommercialpromotionC、thedifferencebetweentheWebandTVwillfadeD、pushtechnologywilldominatethescreenofthecomputers标准答案：D知识点解析：第3段末句开头的That’saprospect表明前面提到的内容就是使网络净化者觉得担忧的问题，上文说网络广告不应像电视那样不请自来，由此可见，网络净化者最担心的是以后电脑屏幕会被不请自来的广告占据，因此D为本题答案。5、WhatdoestheauthorintendtoexpressbymentioningA?A、Itssuccessisattributedtopushstrategies.B、Itisprosperouswithoutpushstrategies.C、Itishighlyconcernedaboutthecostofcomputingpower.D、Itisagoodexampleoftheflourishingonlinebusiness.标准答案：B知识点解析：末段首句中的hardlyinevitable(不是不可避免)表明有些公司不使用“推销”策略也可取得成功，第2句以Amazon．com为例说明这个观点，由此可见，B正确而A错误。Businesshasslowed,layoffsmount,butexecutivepaycontinuestoroar—atleastsofar.BusinessWeek'sannualsurveyfindsthatchiefexecutiveofficers(CEOs)at365ofthelargestUScompaniesgotcompensationlastyea
