2010年12月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)全真預(yù)測(cè)試題及答案(1)

　　Passage Two

　　Recently, a man who was always in good health, spent a week in bed with severe flu. The previous week, he and his wife separated. 【30】It seems his unusual ill health was connected with his bad feeling.

　　Humans have long been aware that our health is linked with our thought, emotions and relationships. Now science is catching up with our suspicion. A new field of scientific investigation has developed. 【29】It's the study of how our thoughts and feelings work with our immune and nervous systems.

　　There are already researchers at medical schools who are devoted to the study. They are discovering surprising connections between mind and body. One researcher has been working with breast cancer patients. She has been looking at the mental factors in their illness and treatment. 【31】She has discovered that women who did not like to talk about the emotions created by their illness had more chance of dying in five years after treatment. Of a group of 52 patients, 16 women died. All 16 women had said they usually found it difficult to talk to people about their illness. So, simply speaking, it is bad for your health to keep negative feeling inside you. You need to talk about them to your family and friends.

　　Other research shows that stress really can make you sick. People who lead stressful lives are more likely to fall ill with colds and flus and other illnesses. But, if you have lots of good quality relationships with family and friends in your life, then you are less likely to fall ill, even though the circumstance of your life might be difficult.

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　29. What is this passage mainly about?

　　29. 答案B

　　解析：選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于疾病方面的內(nèi)容。聽(tīng)力篇章中講到，人們很早就意識(shí)到健康和我們的思想聯(lián)系緊密。而現(xiàn)在發(fā)展了新的學(xué)科，研究人類的想法和感覺(jué)如何影響免疫和神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)。

　　30. Why did the man suffer the worst illness in his life?

　　30. 答案B

　　解析：選項(xiàng)表示原因。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始以一名男士為例，他和妻子分居了，隨后一周就感冒了，似乎他的病和自己的糟糕感覺(jué)有關(guān)系。由此可以判斷他得病的原因是，他情緒不好。

　　31. What is the difference between the breast cancer patients according to the passage?

　　31. 答案C

　　解析：選項(xiàng)關(guān)于哪一類人活得久一點(diǎn)。聽(tīng)力篇章中間講到一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)，其結(jié)論是不喜歡和家人討論病情以及自己感受的人，接受治療后五年內(nèi)死的可能性更大，接著列舉了一些數(shù)字。從中可以判斷，喜歡討論自己病情以及感受的人可以活更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

　　Passage Three

　　When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for a one year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. 【35】But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. 【32】The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing business.

　　【35】What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples—people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. 【33】They are saved a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.

　　One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. 【34】But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　32. Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses?

　　32. 答案D

　　解析：選項(xiàng)表示某種做法。聽(tīng)力篇章第一段提及現(xiàn)在美國(guó)越來(lái)越流行的業(yè)務(wù)，那就是租家具。

　　33. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?

　　33. 答案C

　　解析：根據(jù)上題，考生可推測(cè)此題問(wèn)題有可能是租家具的原因。聽(tīng)力篇章第二段總結(jié)了租家具的原因，可以節(jié)省麻煩，還可以省錢。選項(xiàng)B只談到了其中一個(gè)原因。

　　34. What can you infer from the passage?

　　34. 答案B

　　解析：文章最后一段以一個(gè)家庭為例，他們很喜歡租的家具，但是卻不愿意告訴別人家具是租來(lái)的，因?yàn)檫@種做法比較新，他們不確定鄰居會(huì)怎么想。從此可以判斷，在這對(duì)夫妻的家鄉(xiāng)，這種觀點(diǎn)并不流行。

　　35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

　　35. 答案B

　　解析：從選項(xiàng)的拼寫方式，考生可推斷問(wèn)題可能是文章的題目。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始，講到租家具在美國(guó)流行開(kāi)來(lái)，第二段談及流行的原因，最后講到這種新穎的方式在某些地方并不流行。這三段圍繞同一個(gè)主線展開(kāi)，那就是：新穎的獲得家具的方式。

　　Section C

　　36. 答案situation

　　解析：此空的名詞是個(gè)常用名詞，situation意為“情況，狀態(tài)”。

　　37. 答案opinions

　　解析：opinions和ideas是同義詞，表示“觀點(diǎn)，看法”。考生要注意此空用名詞復(fù)數(shù)。

　　38. 答案trial

　　解析：此空的名詞trial意為“努力，嘗試”，考生要注意和try區(qū)別。

　　39. 答案methods

　　解析：此空是個(gè)常用名詞，method意為“方式，方法”，考生要注意用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。

　　40. 答案stages

　　解析：stage在此處意為“階段”，前面有數(shù)詞six來(lái)修飾，所以用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。

　　41. 答案recognize

　　解析：此空是個(gè)常用動(dòng)詞，recognize意為“意識(shí)，認(rèn)識(shí)”。

　　42. 答案broken

　　解析：此空是動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞用作形容詞，broken在此處意為“不能用，有問(wèn)題”。

　　43. 答案define

　　解析：此空的動(dòng)詞比較常用，define原意為“定義”，此空意為“確定”。

　　44. 答案he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame

　　解析：考生要聯(lián)系上下文，上文講必須先確定問(wèn)題是什么，接著就承上舉了這個(gè)例子，他必須確定自行車的哪一部分出問(wèn)題了。此處需要注意的詞匯：gears，brakes，frame。

　　45. 答案Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions

　　解析：此空要注意后面的句子。后面是個(gè)例子，具體說(shuō)明前面的觀點(diǎn)。其例子大意為：Sam或看修理書，或和朋友討論，或仔細(xì)看輪子。所以前面作者的觀點(diǎn)是：要找信息，讓問(wèn)題更清楚，找到可能的解決方案。此句需要注意的詞匯：clearer，solutions�？忌�要注意句子的首字母要大寫。

　　46. 答案After studying the problem, he should have several suggestions for a possible solution

　　解析：考生要聯(lián)系下文，下文是個(gè)具體的例子，大意為Sam解決這個(gè)輪子的可能方案。所以前面的觀點(diǎn)大概為：研究問(wèn)題之后，應(yīng)該對(duì)可能的解決方案提出幾個(gè)建議。此句需要注意的詞匯：suggestions�？忌�要注意句子的首字母要大寫
