钱少了很多，追求高利润的动机也变小了。题目中的decline与原文的downturn对应，wasbeneficial对应原文agoodthing。15、ItisbelievedthatCaliforniaistheplacewheremodernsingle-familydwellingswereperfected.标准答案：D知识点解析：根据modernsingle-familydwellings和wereperfected定位到D段最后一句。该句提到现代单元式住宅在欧洲发明，但很多人认为它的进一步完善发生在美国加利福尼亚南部，题目是这句话的同义转述。16、TheKingdleyResidencewasinitsoriginalstatewhenitwasforsale.标准答案：L知识点解析：根据TheKingsleyResidence和forsale定位到L段首句。题目中的initsoriginalstate对应原文的unaltered，其他信息与原文一致。17、TheBackusHouseissurroundedbyluxurioushouses,amongwhich,thepropertybehinditisthemostextravagantone.标准答案：I知识点解析：由themostextravagant定位到I段。题目中的issurroundedbyluxurioushouses概括了原文对巴克斯宅周围房屋的描写(Downtheblock．．．．pricetag)，本题句子后半部分的信息与原文末句一致。本题句子概括了该段内容。18、Unexpectedbyobservers,aboutthreemonthsaftertheSchairerHousewassold,it’sstillstanding.标准答案：M知识点解析：根据observers和SchairerHouse定位至M段。该段提到，观察家们确信谢勒宅注定会被拆除，但它在出售80天后仍然屹立于原地。题目内容与该段对应。19、TheinterioroftheKingsleyResidenceisquitemarvelouseventhoughtheexteriormaylooklikeafarm.标准答案：K知识点解析：由theKingsleyResidence，exterior和interior定位至K段。该段第2句提到金斯利故居的外观看起来像奶牛场(cattlefarm)，第3句说它的内部令人惊叹。题目中的interior与原文的inside对应，marvelous对应原文的marvel。20、Evenagentsareconcernedabouttheproblemthatthosewhocanaffordthemodernisthousesarethosethatwanttoreplacethem.标准答案：O知识点解析：根据agents，affordthemodernisthouses和replace定位到O段。该段最后引用上市代理人JoyceRey的话，总结目前现代派建筑面临的困境：那些想修复现代派建筑的买家暂时负担不起，而买得起的人却想对其进行改造。题目中的areconcernedabout对应该段第3句中的beworried；本题句子中的thosewhocan．．．replacethem与段末的直接引语内容一致。三、仔细阅读(本题共10题，每题1.0分，共10分。)Whyinanageofadvancedtechnology,shouldsomanypeoplestillclingtoanancientbelief?Inpartitmustbebecauseastrology—claimstotellussomethingaboutourselves,andallofusareinterestedinourselves.Ithinkitisbecauseastrologyispresentedasifitwereasciencebyitsmodernpractitioner,andmanypeoplearemisledbythis.Infact,astrologywasneverascience.Itwasnotahypothesisortheorydevelopedtodescribenaturalphenomena,anduntilfairlyrecenttimes,therewasnotattempttotestorverifyitspredictions.AstrologybeganapproximatelythreethousandyearsagoinBabylonia;itwasappliedtomonarchsandkingdoms,butnottoindividuals.Itspreadinthe6thcenturyBCasfarasIndia,whereitflourishestoday.TheEgyptians,meanwhile,developedtheirownkindofastrology.ButtheastrologynowpracticedinEuropeandAmericaisthatdevelopedbytheGreeks,whosynthesizedtheideasoftheBabyloniansandEgyptiansandenrichedthemwithconceptsfromtheirownfertileimaginations.TheGreeksbelievedthattheearthwascomposedoffourelements,andtheheavensofaperfectcrystallinematerial.Theplanetsthemselveswerevariouslythoughttobegods,residencesofgods,oratleastmanifestationsofgods.Thegodswereimmortal,butotherwisehadthesameattributesofanger,happiness,jealousy,rageandpleasureaswedo.Nowifwhatthegods'thoughtwascapricious(变化无常的),atleasttheplanetswerepredictableintheirmovements.Becauseourownlotinlifeissounpredictable,itmustbepurelyatthemercyofgods.Butifthegodsaretheplanets,orsomehowassociatedwiththem,thenwehaveonlytolearntherulesofthemotionsoftheplanetstounderstandthewhimsofthegodsandhowtheyshapeourownlives.Sothebeliefdevelopedthateachofourlivesispreordainedbythepreciseconfigurationoftheplanetsintheskyatthetimeofourbirth.Astrologycouldnot,ofcourse,haveseemedasincredibletotheancientsasitdoestous.Theroleofthesuninfluencingourdailyandyearlylivesisobvious;itwasanaturalextensiontoattributeotherpowerstotheotherplanetsaswell.Itwasn'tuntilthetimeofNewtonthatweunderstoodthatthelawsofNatureapplytothecelestialworldsaswellastotheterrestrialone.Duringantiquity,however,allgreatscholarsbelievedinastrology.21、Manypeoplearemisledbyastrologybecauseitispresentedbythepractitionersas______.A、atheorythatcandescribenaturalphenomenaB、amagicalkeytounderstandingthemselvesC、anancientbeliefthathadlongbeenappliedtomonarchsD、amysteriouspowerbeyondtheexplanationofscience标准答案：A知识点解析：首段末句表明人们受占星术的误导是因为占星术看起来像一门科学，而根据第2段开头两句可以知道，科学应该包括描述自然现象的假说或理论，由此可见，A中的theory与原文提到的science意义最为相近，为本题答案。22、WhiletheGreeksdevelopedastrology,theybelievedthat______.A、theearthwasmadeupoffourelementsandtheheavensB、theheavensweremadeupofamaterialofpurecrystalC、theideasoftheBabylonianswerenotimaginativeD、theirideaswouldsoonspreadthroughoutEurope标准答案：B知识点解析：第2段第7句的and引出的应该是一个具有主谓结构的句子，对比分析可看出theheavens和of之间省略了werecomposed，由此可确定B为对该分句的正确理解。干扰项A是对该省略句的错误理解。23、Itisimpliedthatastrologyisbasedonthebeliefthat______.A、thegods’intentionsarehardtopredictB、thefateofourlivesareunpredictableC、thegodsarecloselyrelatedtotheplanetsD、thegodshavethesameattributesaswedo标准答案：C知识点解析：第2段主要描述占星术的由来，总结这些句子可以看出，占星术之所以发展起来，主要是因为人们相信众神与星辰有关，预测了星辰的活动就能知道众神的旨意，由此可见，C是与这个意思最相近的概括。24、WhichofthefollowingistrueaboutthescholarsbeforethetimeofNewton?A、Allofthemwereconvincedbyastrology.B、Theydidn’tknowthelawsofNatureapplytoallplanets.C、Theyplayedimportantrolesinthedevelopmentofastrology.D、Mostofthemfoundastrologyincredible.标准答案：B知识点解析：末段倒数第2句是一个强调句，表明牛顿时代之前，人们都不知道自然规律适用于celestialworlds(即天体)，该句中的“人们”当然也包括题干中的scholars，故B为正确答案。25、Whatistheauthor’spurposeinwritingthepassage?A、Tocastdoubtontheoriginofastrology.B、Tocompareastrologywithrealsciences.C、Topointoutthepopularityofastrology.D、Tojustifytheincredibilityofastrology.标准答案：D知识点解析：首段首句和第2段首句都表明作者认为占星术并非science，末段首句更明确表明占星术incredible，由此可见，本文的写作目的是为了解释为什么占星术不可信。It'sperhapstheworld'smostfamousunderwaterattraction,immortalizedinfilmandinlegend:theTitanic.Butnowexpertssaytheoceanliner,onceawonderofthehighseas,isfallingtopieces.Capt.AlfredMcLaren,thescientistwhoinJulyledthemostrecentexpeditiontotheship'sunderwatergrave,saidhisteamsawclearsignsofthewreck'sacceleratingdecay.Therewasdamagelikelycausedbyrustandsealife,andthecaptain'scabinhadcollapsed."Iwasabsolutelyastonished,"McLarensaid.Worsestill,thefallenmastthatcrushedtheship'sdeckisbelievedbymanytobetheresultofanunapprovedsalvageoperation."Itwasalmostdepressingtoseehowquicklyshewasdeteriorating,"McLarensays."Iwouldbereallysurprisedifthere'sverymuchstandingupfromthebottom,twodecadesfromnow."EdKamuda,whorunstheTitanicHistoricalSocietyinSpringfield,Mass.,saysadventuretourists—whopay$36,000eachtovisitthewreck—arealsocontributingtothecrumblingoftheTitanic."ThisissomethingIexpected.Ijustdidn'texpectittohappensoquickly,"Kamudasaid."Peoplearegoingdownjustasanegotriptosay'Iwasthere.'Allthistakesatollontheship."TheTitanichassatatthebottomoftheAtlanticsinceitsankafterhittinganicebergonitsmaidenvoyageonApril14,1912.Morethan1,500peoplediedthatnight.TheshipcametorestatthebottomofthefrigidNorthAtlantic,morethan2milesbeneaththewaves.Thewreckwasdiscoveredin1985,andsincethenithasbeenrepeatedlyvisitedbytreasurehunters.Butstillsomescientistssaythosedivers,andotherthrillseekersarenotnecessarilytoblamefortheTitanic'scurrentwoes.Capt.CraigMcLeanoftheNationalOceanicandAtmosphericAdministrationwentonanexpeditiontotheTitanicinJuneaspartofagovernmentstudythatismonitoringtheconditionoftheship.Hesaysit'sunclearwhatpartofthedamageisfromMotherNatureandwhichisfromhumannature."It'stooearlyandthereisinsufficientevidencetoputourfingersonanything,"McLeansaid.Regardless,mostagreethere'slittlethatcanbedoneforthismostfamousofwrecks.Andsoon,themightyTitaniccouldwellbelostagain.26、AccordingtoAlfredMcLaren,thedecayoftheTitanicwasmostprobablyacceleratedby______.A、MotherNatureB、humannatureC、thrillseekersD、adventuretourists标准答案：A知识点解析：第2段末句中的rustandsealife就是造成泰坦尼克号损坏加速的原因，这些都属于自然的因素，故选A。其他选项均是人为原因，与A相对。27、McLarenexpectedthatintwentyyears______A、thewreckwouldbecompletelydestroyedbyunapprovedtreasurehuntersB、onlysalvageoperationwiththepurposeofresearchwouldbeapprovedC、onlyaminorpartofthewreckwouldremainasitisD、thewreckwouldbedeterioratingatafasterspeed标准答案：C知识点解析：第4段末句中的Iwouldbereallysurprisedif…表明McLaren预测20年后会发生的事与该句中if引出的假设相反，因此C为本题答案。28、Whatisthetourists’purposeofvisitingthewreck,accordingtoKamuda?A、TohelpfinancethepreservationoftheTitanic.B、Tosatisfytheircuriosityandadventurousness.C、TobetterunderstandthehistoryoftheTitanic.D、TocontributetothecrumblingoftheTitanic.标准答案：B知识点解析：第6段第2句中的egotrip表明参观泰坦尼克号残骸的游客的目的是自私的，而tosay‘Iwasthere’则明确说明这些游客来这里只是为了表明自己曾到此一游，满足自己的好奇心和探险精神，B是与原文内容最相近的猜测。29、CraigMcLeanisoneofthescientistswhobelieve______.A、theinfluenceofthethrillseekersonthewreckwillfinallybedeterminedB、thedeteriorationoftheTitanicisnotnecessarilyattributedtotheadventuretouristsC、thegovernmentshouldcontributemoretothemonitoringoftheTitanicD、visitorsshouldnotbeprohibitedtheTitanicandotherfamouswrecks标准答案：B知识点解析：第8段提出了某些科学家的观点，第9段提到的CraigMcLean就是其中一位，这些科学家都认为没有足够的证据证明游客造成了泰坦尼克号的损坏，因此B就是他们的想法。其他选项均在文中无据可依。30、TheauthorismostlikelytoagreethatthefutureoftheTitanicis______.A、vagueB、controllableC、promisingD、discouraging标准答案：D知识点解析：本文末段对泰坦尼克号的将来作了预测。从littlethatcanbedone，lostagain等词可以看出作者对它的未来并不乐观，因此D为本题答案。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。)They'restillkids,andalthoughthere'salotthattheexpertsdon'tyetknowaboutthem,onethingtheydoagreeonisthatwhatkidsuseandexpectfromtheirworldhaschangedrapidly.Andit'sallbecauseoftechnology.Tothepsychologists,sociologists,andgenerationalandmediaexpertswhostudythem,theirdigitalgearsetsthisnewgroupapart,evenfromtheirtech-savvy(懂技术的)Millennialelders.Theywanttobeconstantlyconnectedandavailableinawayeventheiroldersiblingsdon'tquiteget.Thesedifferencesmayappearslightly,buttheysignalanall-encompassingsensibilitythatsomesaymarksthedawningofanewgeneration.ThecontrastbetweenMillennialsandthisyoungergroupwassoevidenttopsychologistLarryRosenofCaliforniaStateUniversitythathehasdeclaredthebirthofanewgenerationinanewbook,Rewired:UnderstandingtheinGenerationandtheWayTheyLearn,outnextmonth.Rosensaysthetech-dominatedlifeexperienceofthosebornsincetheearly1990sissodifferentfromtheMillennialshewroteaboutinhis2007book,Me,MySpaceandI:ParentingtheNetGeneration,thattheywarrantthedistinctionofanewgeneration,whichhehasdubbedthe"iGeneration"."Thetechnologyistheeasiestwaytoseeit,butit'salsoamind-set,andthemind-setgoeswiththelittle'i',whichI'mtalkingtostandfor'individualized',"Rosensays."Everythingisdefinedandindividualizedto'me'.Mymusicchoicesaredefinedtome.WhatIwatchonTVanyinstantisdefinedto'me'."HesaystheiGenerationincludestoday'steensandmiddle-schoolers,butit'stoosoontotellaboutelementary-schoolagesandyounger.RosensaystheiGenerationbelievesanythingispossible."I
