　　英語六級預(yù)測題 1

　　Section A

　　Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

　　Wild ducks and other migratory(遷移的) birds could be important carriers of deadly bird flu, researchers say. Even so, the infectious-disease experts say there is no solid basis for killing wild birds to protect poultry and minimize the risk of human infection.

　　The European team investigating the global spread of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza(禽流感)says certain duck species may be infecting wild bird populations. Geese and wading birds are also possible vectors(帶菌者)of the virus, the team says.

　　The teams study was led by Bjrn Olsen of Umea University in Sweden. Olsen runs Europes largest wild-bird flu monitoring program.

　　Studies have shown that influenza viruses in lake water, generally passed via bird feces(糞), can stay infectious for up to 30 days. The migration or feeding behavior of dabbling ducks could at least partially explain the spread of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, the researchers add.

　　This group of duck species includes mallards, teal, pintails, and others that feed at or near the surface, where viruses in water are most likely to be picked up. Perhaps as a result, dabblers have the highest known rates of avian influenza infection, the study says. For instance, nearly 13 percent of mallards tested positive for bird flu. Other species tested include the American black duck (18.1 percent), blue-winged teal (11.5 percent), and northern pintail (11.2 percent).

　　However, bird flu viruses appear to exist in ducks in a low-pathogenic form, meaning infection doesnt usually lead to severe illness and death.

　　"Dabbling ducks are for sure the prime hosts for low pathogenic viruses," said study co-author Ron Fouchier, a virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands. "But the big question is, how much of our knowledge about these viruses can we translate to high-pathogenic viruses such as the H5N1 strain of bird flu"

　　In poultry avian viruses can mutate(變異)into more virulent influenza strains, including H5N1. If this mutated virus then finds its way back into wild populations, the birds could then spread the disease through migration.

　　Some scientists have argued that wild birds infected with HN51 would be too ill to migrate. Swans, for instance, appear to be particularly vulnerable to the strain. "Swans apparently drop dead quite easily, but they are unlikely to be the vector because they are not going to fly very far if they are dead," Fouchier said.

　　But the study team says that some birds that have been purposely infected for the sake of research show that wild birds can survive H5N1. "For some reason H5N1 has adapted so it no longer kills dabbling ducks," Fouchier said. This means the ducks may be able to spread the virus over a wide area.

　　The study team says migratory geese may also be vectors, because they often graze in huge flocks, a practice that could encourage transmission.

　　Migrating ducks, the researchers add, "could provide an intercontinental bridge" for bird flu to North America, which has not yet had any known cases of H5N1.

　　47. According to the author, what may be the possible carriers of bird flu

　　48. The main sources of influenza viruses in lake water are ________, which may stay infectious for up to 30 days.

　　49. By saying "bird flu viruses appear to exist in ducks in a low-pathogenic form" (Para. 6), the author suggests that infection ________.

　　50. On what condition can the birds spread the influenza through migration

　　51. According to the study team, ________ is a practice that can encourage transmission of the bird flu.

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Passage One

　　Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

　　For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human inter-living, long enough to set back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument. Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets on the issue of nuclear energy. "Give it back," say some of the voices, "It doesnt really work, weve tried it and it doesnt work. Go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man."

　　The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance of nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, and matters of absolute certainty-Newtonian mechanics, for example-have slipped through our fingers; and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, and ambiguities. Someof the laws of physics are amended every few years; some are canceled outright; some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.

　　Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear: the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond todays imagining.

　　It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.

　　52. What CANNOT be inferred from the first paragraph

　　[A] Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.

　　[B] For three hundred years there have been people holding a hostile attitude toward science.

　　[C] Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously.

　　[D] Some people think three hundred years is not long enough to set back for critical appraisal of scientific method.

　　53. The principle discovery in this century shows ________.

　　[A] man has overthrown Newtons laws of physics

　　[B] man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzles

　　[C] man has lost many scientific discoveries

　　[D] man has given up some of the once accepted theories

　　[A] the exposure of DNA to the public is unnecessary

　　[B] the tiny cell in DNA is a neat little machine

　　[C] man knows nothing about DNA

　　[D] man has much to learn about DNA

　　55. The writers main purpose in writing the passage is to say that ________.

　　[A] science is just at its beginning

　　[B] science has greatly improved mans life

　　[C] science has made profound progress

　　[D] science has done too little to human beings

　　56. The writers attitude towards science is ________.

　　[A] critical [B] approving [C] neutral [D] regretful Passage Two

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　Here amid the steel and concrete canyons, green grass grows. A hawthorn tree(山楂樹) stands in new soil, and freshly dug plants bend in the wind.

　　But Chicago City Hall here seems an unlikely spot for a garden of any variety—especially 20,000 square feet of gardens—on its roof.

　　As one of a handful of similar projects around the country, the garden is part of a $1.5 million demonstration projected by the city to reduce its "urban heat islands", said William Abolt, the commissioner of the Department of Environment. Heat islands-dark surfaces in the city, like rooftops-soak up heat. The retention can bake a building, making it stubborn to cooling.

　　The roof of City Hall, a 90-year-old gray stone landmark on LaSalle Street in the heart of downtown, has been known to reach temperature substantially hotter than the actual temperature on the street below.

　　The garden will provide greenery and shade. "And that," said the city officials, "will save the city dollars on those blistering summer days." The project savings from cooling is about $4,000 a year on a new roof whose life span is about 50 percent longer than that of a traditional roof.

　　The sprawling open-air rooftop garden is being carefully built on a multi-tiered bed of special soil, polystyrene, egg-carton-shaped cones and "waterproof membrane" mall to keep the roof from leaking, or caving under the normal combined weight of soil, rain and plant life.

　　The design calls for soil depths of 4 inches to 18 inches. When the last plants and seedlings are buried and the last bit of compost is laid, the garden will have circular brick stepping-stones winding up to hills.

　　"The primary focus of what we want to do was to establish this laboratory on the top of City Hall to get people involved and understanding their impact on the environment and how the little things can make an impact on the quality of life", Mr. Abolt said, adding that the plants also help to clear the air.

　　Rooftop gardens, in places where concrete jungles have erased plants and trees, are not new, not even in Chicago. Arms of greenery dangling over terraces or sprouting from rooftops, common in Europe, are becoming more so in the United States as people become increasingly conscious about the environment.

　　Richard M. Daley, who urged the environmental department to look into the project after noticing rooftop gardens in Hamburg, Germany a few years ago, has praised the garden as the first of its kind on a public building in the country.

　　It will hold thousands of plants in more than 150 species-wild onion and butterfly weed, sky-blue aster and buffalo grass-to provide data on what species adapt best. Small plants requiring shallow soil depths were chiefly selected.

　　57. The rooftop garden project ________.

　　[A] is common and popular in the country

　　[B] is a demonstration project and costs the city government 1.5 million dollars

　　[C] will make the ordinary cooling down of the city in summer unnecessary

　　[D] aims at getting people involved and understanding their impact on the environment

　　58. What can we learn about the City Hall

　　[A] It was built ninety years ago and is the most outstanding feature in the center of the city.

　　[B] It is originally proper to build a garden on the top of the City Hall.

　　[C] The temperature on its top is a little bit lower than that on the street below.

　　[D] It is the first building in America to have a garden on it.

　　59. Which of the following statements is TRUE

　　[A] Every year, Chicago spends about $ 4,000 on cooling the city.

　　[B] The design of the garden on the City Hall specially takes into consideration the weight the roof can stand.

　　[C] The Mayor urged the environmental department to look into rooftop gardens in Hamburg and build similar ones in America.

　　[D] Heat islands mainly refer to those dark-colored rooftops which receive and retain heat and will not easily release the heat.

　　60. Why should the rooftop garden be built on the top of City Hall other than on any other buildings

　　[A] Because the City Hall is large.

　　[B] Because the mayor had urged the environmental department to do so.

　　[C] Because it can make people understand their impact on environment better through a public building.

　　[D] Because the experts just want to make the City Hall a convenient laboratory.

　　61. The word "substantially" (Line 2, Para. 5) most likely means ________.

　　[A] a little bit [B] in fact [C] materially [D] considerably

　　參考答案：

　　Part I Writing

　　Salary or Interest

　　Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of choosing their careers. It is truly a tough choice. Students’ opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to their interest in the job, but others take the attitude that salary is the most critical factor influencing their career choices.

　　As for myself, I prefer the latter view. A well-paid job exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. Although it might be impossible to measure the value of one’s job in terms of money, salary counts most when I choose my future career. In my view, our career choices largely depend on how and where we have been brought up. I come from a poor urban family and my parents are both laid-off workers. In order to finance my tuition, they have been working hard over the past four years. As the only son in my family, I have to shoulder the burden of supporting my family.

　　In short, salary is the first consideration in my choice of career.

　　英語六級預(yù)測題 4

　　Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

　　There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

　　The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.

　　1. This passage implies that war is now ___.

　　A. worse than in the past.

　　B. as bad as in the past

　　C. not so dangerous as in the past

　　D. as necessary as in the past

　　2. In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind” (Para 1), “this” refers to ___.

　　A. abolish war

　　B. improve weapons

　　C. solve international problems

　　D. live a peaceful life

　　3. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ___.

　　A. is an adherent of some modern ideologies.
