Here's to Your Health
As the only freshman on his school's varsity(代表隊) wrestling team, Tod was anxious to fit in with his older teammates. One night after a match, he was offered a whisky bottle on the ride home. Tod felt he had to accept, or he would seem like a sissy. He took a swallow, and every time the bottle was passed back to him, he took another swallow. After seven swallows, he passed out. His terrified teammates carried him into his home, and his mother then rushed to the hospital. After his stomach was pumped, Tod learned that his blood alcohol level had been so high that he was lucky not to be in a coma or dead.
Although alcohol sometimes causes rapid poisoning, frequently leads to long-term addiction, and always threatens self-control, our society encourages drinking. Many parents, by their example, give children the impression that alcohol is an essential ingredient of social gatherings. Peer pressure turns bachelor parties, fraternity initiations (同仁聯誼會入會) , and spring-semester beach vacations into competitions in "getting trashed. " In soap operas, charming characters pour Scotch whiskey from crystal bottle as readily as most people turn on the faucet for tap water. In films and rock videos, trend-setters party in nightclubs and bars. And who can recall a televised baseball or basketball game without a beer commercial? By the age of 21, the average American has been drinking on TV about 75, 000 times. Alcohol ads appear with pounding frequency—in magazines, on billboards, in college newspapers—contributing to a harmful myth about drinking.
Part of the myth is that liquor signals professional success. In a men's magazine, one full-page ad for Scotch whiskey shows two men seated in an elegant restaurant. Both are in their thirties, perfectly groomed, and wearing expensive grey suits. The windows'are draped (懸掛) with velvet (天鵝絨) > the table with spotless white linen. Each place-setting consists of a long-stemmed water goblet, silver utensils and thick silver plates. On each plate is half-empty cocktail glass. The two men are grinning and shaking hands, as if they've just concluded a business deal. The caption reads, "The taste of success. "
Contrary to what the liquor company would have us believe, drinking is more closely related to lack of success than to achievement. Among students, the heaviest drinkers have the lowest grades. In the work force, alcoholics are frequently late or absent, tend to perform poorly, and often get fired. Although, alcohol abuse occurs in all economic classes, it remains most severe among the poor.
Another part of the alcohol myth is that drinking makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. "Hot, hot, hot," one commercial's soundtrack(電影配樂) begins, as the camera scans a crowd of college-age beachgoers. Next it follows the curve of a woman's leg up to her bare hip and lingers there. She is young, beautiful, wearing a bikini. A young guy, carrying an ice chest (箱子), positions himself near to where she sits. He is tan, muscular. She doesn't show much interest—until he opens the chest and takes out a beer. Now she smiles over at him. He raises his eyebrows and, invitingly, holds up another can. She joins him. This beer, the song concludes, "attracts like no other. "
Beer doesn't make anyone sexier. Like all alcohol, it lowers the levels of male hormones in men and of female hormones in women—even when taken in small amounts. In substantial amounts, alcohol can cause infertility(不生育) in women and impotence in men. Some alcoholic men develop enlarged breasts, from their increased female hormones.
The alcohol myth also creates the illusion that beer and athletics are a perfect combination. One billboard features three high-action images: a baseball player running at top speed, a surfer riding a wave, and a basketball player leaping to make a dunk shot. A particular light beer, the billboard promises, "won't slow you down. "
"Slow you down" is exactly what alcohol does. Drinking plays a role in over six million injuries each year—not counting automobile accidents. Even in small amounts, alcohol dulls the brain, reducing muscle coordination and slowing reaction time. It also interferes with the ability to focus the eyes and adjust to a sudden change in brightness—such as the flash of a car's headlights. Drinking and driving, responsible for over half of all automobile deaths, is the leading cause of death among teenagers. Continued alcohol abuse can physically alter the brain, permanently damaging learning and memory. Long-term drinking is related to malnutrition, weakening of the bones, and ulcers. It increases the risk of liver failure, heart disease, and stomach cancer.
Finally, according to the myth fostered by the media in our culture, alcohol generates a warm glow of happiness that unifies the family. In one popular film, the only food visible at a wedding reception is an untouched wedding cake, but beer, whiskey, and vodka flow freely. Most of the guests are drunk. After shouting into the microphone to get everyone's attention, the band leader asks the bride and groom to come forward. They are presented with two wine-filled silver drinking cups. "If you can drink your cups without spilling any wine," the band leader tells them, "you will have good luck for the rest of your lives. " The couple drain their cups without taking a breath, and the crowd cheers.
A marriage, however, is unlikely to be "lucky" if alcohol plays a major role in it. Nearly two-thirds of domestic violence involves drinking. Alcohol abuse by parents is strongly tied to child neglect and juvenile delinquency. Drinking during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage and is a major cause of such birth defects as deformed limbs and mental retardation. Those who depend on alcohol are far from happy: over a fourth of the patients in state and county mental institutions have alcohol problems; more than half of all violent crimes are alcohol-related; the rate of suicide among alcoholics is fifteen times higher than among the general population.
Alcohol, some would have us believe, is part of being successful, sexy, healthy, and happy. But those who have suffered from it—directly or indirectly—know otherwise. For alcohol's victims, "Here's to your health" rings with a terrible irony when it is accompanied by the clink of liquor glasses.
1. The author provides lots of evidence to refute the harmful myth about drinking.
2. We can conclude from the passage that the media and the culture of American society promote false beliefs about alcohol.
3. Paragraph four tells us that alcoholics will never succeed if they don't quit drinking.
4. Instead of making people more attractive, alcohol makes man womanlike.
5. Drinking is one of the main causes of death among teenagers.
6. The sentence " our society encourages drinking. " is simply based on the fact that there are so many ads for alcohol in magazines and on TV.
7. Something restrain alcohol abuse before it is too late.
8. Over six million injuries each year are related to______.
9. The life of those who are addicted to drinking is______.
10. Besides a major cause of birth defects, drinking during pregnancy can lead to______.
I. Y 2. Y 3. N 4. N 5. Y 6. N 7. NG 8. drinking 9. far from happy 10. miscarriage

The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious under the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an open container and fill it to the level of a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but tends to diffuse throughout the__1__available; it must therefore be kept in a closed container or held by a gravitational field, as in the__2__of a planet's atmosphere. The distinction was a __3__feature of early theories describing the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be "dissolved" in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory__4 __that the two phases are made up of different kinds of molecules. The theories now prevailing take a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in __5 __They are both forms of matter that have no __6 __structure, and they both flow readily.
The fundamental similarity of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are __7__somewhat. Suppose a closed container __8__filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands, or in other words becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. In contrast, the vapor above the liquid surface becomes denser as the evaporated molecules are __9__to it. The combination of temperature and pressure at become __10__is called the critical point.

英語六級考試閱讀題專項練習及答案 篇3
In the early days of nuclear power, the United States make money on it. But today opponents (反對者 ) have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years.
The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor "meltdown". Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U. S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But don't expect them even on U. S. shores unless things change in Washington.
The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a halt while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nice-but-not-necessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case when a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.
A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New York's Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-60's. Millstone, completed for $ 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $ 5 billion and delayed its use for many years.
Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power. Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start up, used his power to force New York's public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. I'oday, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.
author's attitude toward the development of nuclear power is______.
A. negative B. neutral
C. positive D. questioning
has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?
A. The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation Commission. B. The enormous cost of construction and operation.
C. The length of time it takes to make investigations.
D. The objection of the opponents of nuclear power.
can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that______.
A. there are not enough safety measures in the U. S. for running new nuclear power plants
B. it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U. S.
C. there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the U. S.
D. the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U. S.
24. Governor Mario Cuomo's chief intention in proposing the settlement was to_______.
A. stop the Shoreham plant from going into operation
B. urge the power company to further increase its power supply
C. permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditions
D. help the power company to solve its financial problems
25. The phrase "single out" is closest in meaning to_______.
A. delay B. end up
C. complete D. separate
答案
21. C 22. D 23. B 24. A 25. D
英語六級考試閱讀題專項練習及答案 篇4
It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear bright clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos (文身) to make some kind of social statement.
The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. The people who comprehend the simple principle of being unique through performance make our entire political and economic system work. Those who invent, who improve, who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism.
Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles. Lewis Waterman saw no need to go on dipping a pen into an inkwell, so he put the ink into the pen. George Westinghouse told the world how to stop a train, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city skyline. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity.
Fortunately, enough Americans have been inspired to do something with their uniqueness that we have developed in less than three centuries from a frontier outpost into not only a country of freedom but a country strong enough to protect that freedom. These people prized the notions of individuality and excellence above all things and thus kept the great machine functioning. The ones with the purple hair and the horrorable jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be "different" and not knowing how to go about it.
1 The student who earns A's on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who paints pictures of the world around him, or who can name all the states and their capitals. According to the author unique individuals are persons who______.
A. do something better than other people
B. know more about a subject than other people
C. excel others in work
D. all of the above
2、People who regard individuality as a surface thing always do the following EXCEPT
A. wearing bright clothes B. coloring their hair
C. doing better than others D. decorating their skin with tattoos
3、Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Henry Ford invented assembly-line technique.
B. Elisha Otis was the inventor of the lift
C. George Westinghouse created cranks.
D. Lewis Waterman put the ink into the pen.
4、It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. the real secret to being unique lies in our excellent work
B. if we want to be different we'd gain more profit
C the student who earns A's on the report card has not grasped the real meaning of individuality
D. all Americans work miracles In the writer's opinion
5、who has understood the sense of individuality?
A. The youngster who designed his own spaceship.
B. The youngster who painted worthy pictures.
C. The youngster who was interested in wearing strange clothes.
D. Both A and B.
答案
D C C A D
英語六級考試閱讀題專項練習及答案 篇5
The General Electric Company, often criticized for the complexity of its structure and the resulting opacity of its numbers, said yesterday that it would break GE Capital, by far its largest business, into four businesses. The reorganization effectively eliminates the job of Denis J. Nayden, 48, the chairman of GE Capital. Each of the new units will have its own chief, who Will report directly to Jeffrey R. Immelt, G. E.'s chairman. "The reason for doing this is simple. I want more direct contact with the financial services teams," Mr. Immelt said.
The new businesses are GE Commercial Finance, GE Insurance, SE Consumer Finance and GE Equipment Management. Some support functions within GE Capital, including risk management and treasury, will now report to Dennis Dammerman, 57, a G. E. vice chairman who preceded Mr. Nayden as GE Capital's chlef. Mr, Nayden will remain at G. E. as an adviser for now, but is expected to leave shortly to start a financial services firm.
Mr. Dammerman insisted that the reorganization had nothing to do with the increasing clamor from investors, regulators and the news media for greater transparency in accounting and for chief executives to take more responsibility for businesses: Analysts seem to believe him. "This is just what it appears to be, a managerial, reorganization which gives leaders more direct access to the office of the chairman," said Martin A. Sankey, a G. E. analyst.
The executives leading the new units will also sit on G.. E. 's corporate executive council, a committee made up of the company's top 25 executives, which meets periodically and discusses various strategic and management issues.
GE Capital, the company's largest nit, provided $55 billion of G. E. 's $124 billion in revenue last year and $ 5.6 billion of its $19.7 billion in pretax profits. The rest of G. E. had been divided into 11 other businesses, many of them--lighting and appliances are examples-much smaller than the new GE Capital units, yet each run by someone who reports directly to the chairman. Mr. Dammermn said that Mr. Immelt began talking about breaking GE Capital into more manageable pieces as soon as he took over as chief executive last September. "Jeff didn't like the extra layer between him and the GE Capital businesses,"
G. E. has tried to make GE Capital less mysterious to 'the outside world. Although GE Capital was officially one unit, it had begun to report quarterly results in live product-related segments--a number that will be reduced to four with the new organization. And analysts say GE Capital's management has been more accessible than it was in past years, and that Mr. Immelt and other G. E. corporate executives have been willing to discuss GE Capital in more depth.
57. After the reorganization, GE will have altogether ______.
A) six businesses B) sixteen businesses
C) four businesses . D) fifteen businesses
58. Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dennis Dammerman?
A) He is now a GE's vice chairman.
B) He is expected to leave GE to start a new financial services firm.
C) He was once the chairman of GE Capital.
D) He regards the reorganization of GE as an initiative of its own.
59. All the following statements are False of Denis Nayden EXCEPT that ______.
A) the reorganization makes him lose his position as a chairman
B) he will remain for some time at GE as an analyst
C) he is currently GE's chairman
D) he is expected to start a new GE financial firm in the near future
60. The reorganization will enable GE's chief executive to ______.
A) quiet down the unrest in the world
B) work in a more friendly business environment
C) have more direct contact with GE's financial services teams
D) appear less mysterious to the outside world
61. The General Electric Capital ______.
A) is divided into five product-related segments now
B) provided more than 1/3 of GE's revenue last year
C) is going to be broken into more businesses
D) now has smaller units than all other businesses in GE
答案
57.文章第五段提到“the rest of G.E，had been divided into 11 other businesses”，也就是除 GE Capital之外共有11家公司。文章第一段指出GE Capital將被分成4家公司。因此，調整結構以後，GE共有15家公司。答案為D項。
58.第二段第二句指出Dennis Dammerman是GE的副總裁，曾在Nayden之前做過GE Capital的主席。因此，選項A和C都排除。第三段中，Dammerman否認GE的結構調整和外界的壓力有關，因此選項D說結構調整是GE自己的主動性舉措符合原文意思，可排除。而第二段的最後一句中明確陳述即將離開GE的是Nayden，故答案為B項。
59.根據文章第一段中的“The reorganization effectively eliminates the job of Denis J. Nayden，48，the chairman of GE Capital.”可知正確答案為A項。
60.第三段的最後一句“This is just what it appears to be，a managerial reorganization which gives leaders more direct access to the office of the chairman”即“And analysts say GE Capital's management has been more accessible than it was in past years”，因此，答案為C項。
61.此題是關於GE Capital的細節資訊題。文章第五段第一句“GE Capital，the company's largest nit，provided $55 billion of G.E.'s $124 billion in revenue last year and $5.6 billion of its $19.7 billion in pretax profits.”提到去年GE Capital收入550億美金佔GE總收入1240億的三分之一多。因此，正確答案為B項。

It is all very well to blame traffic jams,the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life,but mannerson the roads are becoming ybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the all very well,again,to have a tiger in the tank,but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter might tolerate the odd road-hog，the rude and inconsiderate driver,but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the aps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers"campaign,otherwise it may get completely out of hand.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness when they see it.
However,misplaced politeness can also be cal examples are the driver who brakes violently toallow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic,when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway;or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodiesof these grannies.
A veteran driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctlyinto traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad rtunately,modern motorists can't even learn to drive,let alone master the subtler aspects of s age the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road is high fime for all of us to take this message to heart.
rding to the passage,people's behaviors on the roads are becoming_____________________.
does the author suggest in order to get control of the situation?
ers who can manage to control their impulse to revenge when they experience impolite behavior are considered as_________________by the author.
uraging old ladies to cross the road at the wrong moment is referred as______________by the author.
rts have long pointed out that all road users should be ready to yield to each other due to______________________.
答案：
1.[horrible]
[定位]根據題幹中的behaviors on the roads定位到首段首句。
解析：題幹中的people's behaviors是原文中manners的同義替換。空白處需要形容詞作表語，故填人horrible即可。
2.[A"Be Kind to Other Drivers"campaign.]
[定位]根據題幹中的get control和situation定位到首段末句。
解析：原文中的get out of hand意為“失控”，與題幹中的get control of“控制”剛好相反。原文說需要發起某一活動來控制這種情形，否則後果嚴重，可見為了控制局面，就要發起這一活動，該活動即答案。
3.[the most cool-headed and good-tempered.]
[定位]根據題幹中的drivers，to revenge等定位到第2段第2句。
解析：題幹中的control their impulse to相當於原文的resist the temptation to,experience impolite behavior也是原文subjected to uncivilized behavior的同義替換。原文提到某些司機在遇到不文明行為時能忍住報復的衝動，空白處需填描述這些司機的形容詞或名詞(片語)，即the most cool-headed and good-tempered。
4.[misplaced politeness]
[定位]根據題幹中的encouraging old ladies to cross the road定位到第3段。
解析：該段首句是主題句，講述了misplaced politeness是很危險的行為，並舉例證明。原文該段倒數第二句中的The same goes for指的就是這種行為。主題句中的主語即本題答案。
5.[the car-ownership explosion]
[定位]根據題幹中的Experts和pointed out查詢到末段倒數第2句。
解析：原文中的Years ago the experts warned對應題幹中的Experts have long pointed out,而be ready to yield toeach other是原文中demand a lot more give-and-take的同義替換，故原文該句that從句中的主語the car-ownership explosion部分即為答案。
