大学英语六级阅读冲刺试题
从小学、初中、高中到大学乃至工作，我们最不陌生的就是试题了，试题是考核某种技能水平的标准。一份什么样的试题才能称之为好试题呢？下面是小编收集整理的大学英语六级阅读冲刺试题，欢迎大家分享。
试题1：
Some of the old worries about artificial intelligence were closely linked to the question of whether computers could think.The first massive electronic computers,capable of rapid calculation and little or no creative activity,were soon dubbed(取绰号)"electronic brains".A reaction to this terminology quickly followed,computers were called"high speed idiots",an effort to protect human vanity.But not everyone realized theimplications of the high-speed idiot tag.It has not been pointed out enough that even the human idiot is one of the most intelligent life forms on earth.If the early computers were even that intelligent,it was already a remarkable state of affairs.
One consequence of speculation about the possibility of computer thought was that we were forced to examine with new care the idea of thought in general.It soon became clear that we were not sure what we meant bysuch terms as thought and thinking.We tend to assume that human beings think,some more than others,though we often call people thoughtless or unthinking.Dreams cause a problem,partly because they usually happen outside our control.They are obviously some type of mental experience,but are they a type of thinking?And the question of nonhuman life forms adds further problems.Many of us would maintain that some of the higheranimals-dogs,cats,apes,and so on-are capable of at least basic thought,but what about fish and insects?If thinking is demonstrated by evident electrical activity in the brain,then many species are capable of thought.Once we have formulated clear ideas on what thought is in biological creatures,it will be easier to discuss the question of thought in artifacts(人工制品).And what is true of thought is also true of the many other mental processes.One of the immense benefits of a research is that we are being forced to scrutinize,with new rigor,the working of the human mind.
It is already clear that machines have superior mental abilities to many life forms.No fern or oak tree can play chess as well as even the simplest digital computer,nor can frogs weld car bodies as well as robots.It seems that,viewed in terms of intellect ,the computer should be set well above plants and most animals.Only the higher animals can compete with computers with regard to intellect and even then with diminishing success.
1.What did people think of the early computers?
2.According to the author,the early computers is__________________than human idiots.
3.As a result of speculating whether computer could think,we had to research more carefully to get_____________________.
4.Why do dreams cause the problem whether they are a type of thinking,according to the author?
5.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the fern and the oak tree?
答案：
1.[They were called"high speed idiots"/They can calculate rapidly but are idiots.]
[定位]第1段第2、3句。
解析：此题有关人们对早期电子计算机的看法。从第1段第2、3句所提到的计算机的两个绰号“electronic brains”和“high speed idiots”可推理得出：人们对于当时出现的计算机其实是持嘲讽和轻蔑态度的，认为它们虽然运转速度快，但是很笨。
2.[less intelligent]
[定位]根据early computers查找到第1段最后一句。
解析：原文倒数第2句提到，即使是human idiot，也是最intelligent的生命形式。接着最后一句用if“假设”说明了早期的计算机并没有白痴的人聪明，由此可知题目应填入less intelligent。
3.[the idea of thought in general]
[定位]根据result of speculating查找到第2段第1句。
解析：题目中的前半部分是对原文主语的同义改写，主句中的had to research toget...相当于原文中的were forced toexamine...，因此examine后面的宾语就是答案所在。
4.[Because they usually happen outside our control./Because they are usually beyond our control.
[定位]根据dreams cause a problem查找到第2段第4句。
解析：原文提到Dreams cause a problem后即明确解释原因：partly because they usually happen outside our control，答案可以照搬原文，也可以用介词beyond进行同义改写。
5.[Machines have superior mental abilities to many life forms./Computers are more intelligent than plants and most animals.]
[定位]末段前三句。
解析：末段第2句提到的内容是支持该段首句和第3句观点的具体例子。这两句话的观点是相同的，说的都是“机器比很多生物具有更强的思考能力”。由此可见。可照搬首句中that引导的主语从句作为答案，也可以结合第3句作同义改写。
试题2：
Nowadays,leaders the world over are busy mapping out blueprints for a new age with environmental protection high on their agenda. Sustainable development hits headlines almost every day. It is of utmost importance to restore the harmonious balance between man and nature,given the damage weve already done to it.
First of all, we must realize that man and nature are interactive.To begin with, we derive everything fromnature. Among other things,Im sure youve all tasted natural produce that is otherwise known as green food. And you must have noticed that nearly all beautifying products boast of being natural creams,natural lotions or natural gels. For man,nature has an irresistible appeal.
But on the other hand we must also realize that nature can be unruly.Nature is indeed like a riddle,some areas of which are beyond the reach of science and technology,at least in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless,the advancement of science and technology will still characterize the next millennium. The coming new age will provide many opportunities,but it will be likewise run of challenges. For instance,United Nationsdemographers predict that global population could soar from its current 5.9 billion to as many as 11.2 billion by 2050.This will aggravate the current scarcity of natural resources caused by environmental degradation.More conflicts over this scarcity may occur with the ghost of nuclear wars always hiding in the background. To prevent this nightmare from coming true,governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do toachieve the harmony between man and nature. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do.
Can we all be economical with food,water,electricity or other resources? Can we,or rather,some greedy ones among us,stop making rare plants and animals into delicious dishes? Can we stop using the unrecyclable style of lunch boxes? If not,one day they may bury us in an ocean of white rubbish.After all,the earth is not a dustbin;its our common home.
1."Green food"is a name we give to______________________.
2.Beautifying products boast of being natural because___________________.
3.What will the next millennium be characteristic of,according to the author?
4.The current scarcity of natural resources will be aggravated by_______________.
5.If we dont give up using the unrecyclable lunch boxes,they may accumulate to be__________________.
答案：
1.[natural produce]
[定位]根据green food查找到第2段第3句。
解析：原文该句中的otherwise表明natural produce和green food是同一概念，因此natural produce为本题答案。
2.[for man,nature has an irresistible appeal]
[定位]根据beautifying products boast of being natural及because查找到第2段最后两句。
解析：第2段倒数第2句开头的And表明该句与该段To begin with引出的第2句并列，因此，对倒数第2句的解释不能在之前的句子寻找，而应该在末句寻找，事实上，这两句存在隐含的因果关系，由此可见，末句就是本题答案。
3.[The advancement of science and technology.]
[定位]根据nest millennium和characteristic查找到第3段第3句。
解析：从原文该句中的characterize和题目中的be characteristic of可以看出，原文与题目同义，区别只在于characterize和be characteristic of要求的主语和宾语位置互换，因此原文的主语即为be characteristic of的宾语，即本题答案。
4.[the soaring global population]
[定位]根据题干内容查找到第3段第5、6句。
解析：第3段第6句表明自然资源匮乏的问题会因为“this”而变得更严重，而this指的是该段第5句描述的内容，从第5句可以知道this指的是“全球人口的急剧增加”，用原文的词语可表达为the soaring global population。
5.[an ocean of white rubbish]
[定位]根据题干内容查找到末段第3、4句。
解析：本题询问如果不停止使用不可回收利用的午餐饭盒，不可回收饭盒最终会堆积成什么。从末段第3句和第4句可以推断不可回收饭盒最终会堆积成白色垃圾的海洋，因此，第4句中的an ocean of white rubbish为本题答案。
试题3：

"Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they -
