英语六级阅读长难句解析(3)
1. The higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge. (1990. 6. 阅读. Text 3)
【译文】你的职位越高，所从事的行政工作就越多，也就是越重视在组织中的工作能力而非技术能力或专业知识。
【析句】整句话应用了the+比较句，the+比较句的句型，只不过是三个the+比较级的句子形成排比，句与句之间根据一定的逻辑顺序排列。The higher you climb the ladder是型贺条件，后面两句是结果，且后一句比前一句更深入。注意最后一句的主干是the emphasis on...rather than on...。
2. We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours’ sleep alternation with some 16-17 hours’ wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. (1990. 6. 阅读. Text 4)
【译文】众所周知，侍乎普通人白天的正常活动周期是16-17小时的清醒状态后转成约7-8小时的睡眠。一般说来，正常情况下睡眠与黑夜时间相一致。
【析句】本句话的主干是We all know+that宾语从句 and+that宾语从句。具体看来，第一个宾语从句是the normal human daily cycle...is of some alternation with..., 第二个宾语从句是the sleep coincide with...,broadly speaking作插入语。
3. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in instry where automation calls for round-the-clock working of machines. (1990. 6. 阅读. Text 4)
【译文】例如，由于工老租悉业自动化要求机器昼夜运转，人们能否轻松地把白天工作改成晚上工作就成为工业生产中日益重要地问题了。
【析句】复合句。主句是The ease is question of growing importance in instry,the ease后是定语从句with which people can change from...to...，先行词the ease在定语从句中作with的宾语;而instry后也有where引导的定语从句。

1. The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious. (1991. 阅读. Text 1)
【译文】人落水时，救生衣能否在正确的位置支撑起落水者十分重要，同样重要的是，即使是在人没有力气或是在陷入昏迷的情况下，救生衣也能使面朝下的落水者在水中站起来，或是身体稍微向后仰，使脸离开水面。
【析句】整句话的主干是The position is most important,as is its tendency to...即由主句和as引导的非限制性定语从句组成。具体看来，主句the position后是介词+which引导的定语从句，position在定语从句中作in的宾语，因此把in提前到which前。in which定语从句中又有who引导的定语从句修饰a person。as引导的非限制性定语从句中，to turn the wearer from...to...是不定式短语作定语修饰its tendency，with his face clear of the water作伴随状语，最后是when引导的时间状语从句。
2. A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim. (1991. 阅读. Text 1)
【译文】合身的救生衣任何时候，无论在不在水中，都应该让穿着者感到舒服，既不会十分笨重，让人在船只遇险时不得不脱下救生衣求生，也不应限制落水者游泳自救的灵活性。
【析句】复合句。主句A suitable life perserver should be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water作地点状语，not so heavy as to encourage...，nor so burdensome是形容词作伴随，包含句型not...，nor...;while the ship is in danger作时间状语从句，而nor后包含短语so...that...。
3. This assumption rests on the fallacy of the inherent laziness in human nature; actually, aside from abnormally lazy people, there would be very few who would not want to earn more than the minimum, and who would prefer to do nothing rather than work. (1991. 阅读. Text 2)
【译文】这种假设是基于这样一种谬论：人的天性中就存在遗传惰性。而事实上，除了特别懒惰的人以外，几乎没有人愿意挣只相当于最低生活维持费的钱，也没有人愿意饱食终日，无所用心。
【析句】句子主干是This assumption rests on……;aside from……，there would be very few who would……，and who would……。分号连接两个并列分句。在第二个分句中，介问短语aside from abnormally(特别地)lazy people作状语，主句是一个there be存在句，包含两个并列的由关系代词who引导的定语从句，修饰few.Rest on在此意为“依据”。aside from相当于“except”，译为“除了”。
② 英语六级阅读各类题型解题技巧

③ 英语六级考试阅读理解解题技巧
1.主旨题包括三种题型：中心思想，最佳标题，写作目的。常见的出题模式为 What's the main idea of this passage? What is the purpose of ……? The best title / the most appropriate title is ……? 虽然题型不同，但解题思路是一致的，方法也是相通的，通常可以采用“重要句解题法”(首段首句、末段末句、二段一句、各段首末句)、“段落大意相加法”、“题干推论法”等。需要注意的是主旨题的设题位置往往是第一题或最后一题 ，而且选项答案通常比较抽象。
2.细节题承载了考试的主要考题，主要考查考生的细致与敏感。主要通过题干关键词的定位寻找文章的对应出题点，然后比较选项得出答案。
3. 推论题的常见模式是What can you infer from this passage? 或What does this passage imply? 推论题的答案往往不是原文某句话的照搬与照抄，而是原文某句话的同义改写或某几句话的总结与归纳，与原文一模一样的答案不能入选。因此了解句子的基本意思，挖掘潜在内涵就是解题的关键，至于句子基本意思的理解在第一个境界中已经阐述。
4.猜词题包括词汇理解，句子理解和指代理解三种形式。这种题型并不是考查考生的单词量，而是培养考生能够利用句子之间的关系以及上下文的联系推测某个词、句、代词的含义。通常解题利用代入法，参考“词性、 用法、褒贬色彩”三“一致原则”，而往往不选该单词最基本的意思，深刻或抽象意思才可能是答案。
5. 作者观点态度题相对比较简单，通常作者的态度和观点都会在文章的开头或结尾呈现，当然不能完全排除作者在通篇文中有观点转换的可能，一般来说考生掌握常见的观点态度词就行，例如：objective, optimistic, impersonal, neutral, positive等。

④ 2019年英语六级阅读理解试题库及答案(11-12)
2019年英语六级阅读理解裂饥试题库及答案(11)
In the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia, one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men looting a sabotaged train. One of the looters, Chief Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat clan, suddenly notices the camera and snatches it. "Am I in this?"贺谨 he asks, before smashing it open. To the dismayed reporter, Lawrence explains, "He thinks these things will steal his virtue. He thinks you're a kind of thief."
As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into distant lands, stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic. The "ignorant natives" may have had a point. When photography first became available, scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts. But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back. Up into the 1950s and 1960s, many ethnographers sought "pure" pictures of "primitive" cultures, routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western dress. They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties, often with little regard for veracity. Edward Curtis, the legendary photographer of North American Indians, for example, got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915--even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation.
These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated, primitive, and unchanging. For instance, National Geographic magazine'肆拍返s photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures. As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic, the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don't challenge white, middle-class American conventions. While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops, for example, white women's breasts are taboo. Photos that could unsettle or disturb, such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine, are discarded in favor of those that reassure, to conform with the society's stated pledge to present only "kindly" visions of foreign societies. The result, Lutz and Collins say, is the depiction of "an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict."
Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot. She read the magazine as a child, and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career. She just thinks that as people look at the photographs of other cultures, they should be alert to the choice of composition and images.
练习题
1. The main idea of the passage is ______________.
[A] Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values.
[B] There is a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples.
[C] Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales.
[D] Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures, compromising the truthfulness of their pictures.
2. We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often _________.
[A] took pictures with the natives
[B] gave exaggerated accounts of the native lands
[C] ask for pictures from the natives
[D] gave the natives clocks and Western dresses
3. The author mentions the movie Lawrence of Arabia to ___________.
[A] show how people in the indigenous societies are portrayed by Westerners.
[B] illustrate how people from primitive societies see cameras as tools of black magic that steal their virtues.
[C] show how anthropologists portray untruthful pictures of native people.
[D] show the cruel and barbarian side of the native people.
4. “But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.” In this sentence, the “one [culture] that stares back” refers to _______.
[A] the indigenous culture
[B] the Western culture
[C] the academic culture
[D] the news business culture
5. With which of the following statements would Cat
herine Lutz most probably agree?
[A] Reporters from the Western societies should routinely delete modern elements in pictures taken of the indigenous societies.
[B] The primitive cultures are inferior to the more advanced Western culture.
[C] The western media are not presenting a realistic picture of the faraway societies.
[D] People in the Western news business should try not to challenge the well-established white middle-class values.
答案及解析
1. 答案是[A] Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values.
解析：本文的主题是，西方的媒体，为了迎合西方读者猎奇的心理，同时，为了不与西方读者的中产阶级价值观发生冲突，在他们拍摄的照片中，并不是真正客观公正地反映经济发展水平较为落后的社会中人们的生活。他们经常有意删除照片中反映西方文明烙印的成分，甚至摆布照片中的主人公，以描绘出一个西方读者想象中的，经济不发达的，有异域风情的，没有痛苦和阶级斗争的经济落后社会的画面。他们甚至避免刊登那些反映饥荒，战争，灾害的照片，以满足西方媒体“只刊登外国社会美好一面的照片”的默契。
2. 答案是[B] gave exaggerated accounts of the native lands
解析：文章第二段说，When photography first became available, scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts.可见早期到原始社会旅行回来的人往往对当地的情况夸大其词。在照相机发明之后，科学家能更好地客观反映那些远方地区的真实情况。
3. 答案是[B] illustrate how people from primitive societies see cameras as tools of black magic that steal their virtues.
解析：文章的第一段介绍的是著名的1962年获得7项奥斯卡大奖的电影《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》(导演：DAVID LEAN)中的一个片段。该电影本来与作者要讲的题目并无直接关系。作者仅仅通过一个电影中描述的场景来说明一个论点。那就是比较原始，开化较晚的社会，那里的人们对现代的文明，和从没见过的现代文明的产物容易产生误解。电影中的土著抢走了LAWRENCE的照相机，因为他怀疑，那从未见过的玩意儿会偷走他的“美好品德(VIRTUE)”。但是，作者在下文说，那些土著居民的担心并非全无道理。因为西方的记者和学者们，为了描绘一个西方人心目中固有的土著社会(或者经济发展欠发达社会)的形象，故意篡改照片，满足西方读者的好奇心，并且有意迎合西方中产阶级的趣味。在短文中，作者有时候并不开宗明义，直奔主题，而是利用人们都熟悉的文化元素，例如诗歌，书籍，电影，歌曲等，引起读者对其讨论话题的兴趣，然后再引入主题。并不是每一篇文章都会开门见山，读者不应该把每篇文章的首尾句都当成对文章大意的总结。
4. 答案是[A] the indigenous culture
解析：But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.本句是文章切入主题的重点句。考生应该格外注意在阅读文章靠前部分出现的，以转折词(例如，HOWEVER， BUT，NEVERTHELESS， NONETHELESS等)开头的句子。那往往是作者叙述传统论点，或者普遍看法的关键地方。本句可以理解为：但是，在某些方面，人类学家拍摄的照片展现的与其说是那个盯视着照相机的(被拍摄的)文化，不如说是反映了拿着照相机的(西方)文化。作者暗示，照片反映了西方摄影者的偏见和对落后文化固有的看法，反映的是西方的价值观，并不是完全真实客观的那些不发达社会的写照。这句话基本上是对文章中心意思的总结。如果对文章的主题有大致的认识，就不会将本题选错。
5. 答案是[C] The western media are not presenting a realistic picture of the faraway societies.
解析：Catherine Lutz是文章中提到的1993年出版的READING NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC的作者之一。她们在书中写道，《国家地理》杂志自从1888年创刊以来，就一直刊登那些不和美国中产阶级白人的价值观发生冲突的照片。照片中可以表现袒露胸部的黑色皮肤的妇女，但是白人妇女的胸部就是禁止刊登的对象。她们认为，这样做的后果就是，在那些西方主流杂志中展现的，似乎是相对而言没有痛苦的，也不存在阶级斗争的社会。因此答案C The western media are not presenting a realistic picture of the faraway societies(西方媒体并没有展现落后地区的真实画面)最能表现该作者的观点。
2019年英语六级阅读理解试题库及答案(12)
The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination. Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity.
There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients, colleagues, insurers, and government.
The behaviours under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behaviour are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant; there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behaviour and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.
Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection proce
ss of medical students might be expected to favour candidates with integrity and positive ethical behaviour—if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that ring medical school the ethical behaviour of medical students does not necessarily improve; indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress.
The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a school's culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the school's examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair. Finally, the treatment of infractions must be firm, fair, transparent, and consistent.
练习题
1. What does the author say about cheating in medical schools?
[A] Extensive research has been done about this phenomenon.
[B] We have sufficient data to prove that prevention is feasible.
[C] We are safe to conclude that this phenomenon exists on a grand scale.
[D] Reliable data about the extent, prevention and management of the phenomenon is lacking.
2. According to the author, it is important to prevent cheating in medical schools because ____________.
[A] The medical profession is based on trust.
[B] There is zero tolerance of cheating in medicine.
[C] The medical profession depends on the government.
[D] Cheating exists extensively in medical schools.
3. What does the author say about the cause(s) of cheating?
[A] Family, culture and society play an active part.
[B] Bad school environment is the leading cause of student cheating.
[C] Parents are always to blame for their children’s cheating behaviour.
[D] Cheating exists primarily because students learn bad things from TV.
4. According to the author, what precautions should medical schools take to prevent students from cheating?
[A] Medical schools should establish a firm moral standard to weed out applicants with low integrity.
[B] Medical schools should make efforts to remedy the ills of a society.
[C] Medical schools should teach future doctors integrity and ethical values.
[D] There is nothing medical schools can do to improve the ethical behaviour of their students.
5. The author will probably agree with which of the following statements?
[A] Medical schools should make exams easier for the students to alleviate the fierce competition.
[B] Prominent figures in the medical institution should create a set of moral standards to be applied in medical schools.
[C] Medical students should play an active role in the creation and preservation of a culture of integrity.
[D] Those students who cheat in the exams should be instantly expelled from school.
答案及解析
1. 答案是[D] Reliable data about the extent, prevention and management of the phenomenon is lacking.
解析：文章第一段说，Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity.可见，到目前为止，我们还不很了解医学院作弊现象的严重程度，也不甚明了如何对该类现象进行预防和管理。既然目前所掌握的DATA是insufficient(不充足的)，那么[A][B][C]所说的都不符合文章的原意，故均为错误选项。只有[D]的叙述正确。
2. 答案是[A] The medical profession is based on trust.
解析：作者在第二段说，人们一致认为，医学的基础就是诚信。在医学院就作弊的学生通常比其他人更容易做出欺骗病人，同事，和政府的事情。因此，医学以诚信为本的性质就决定了， 对医学院的作弊行为应该坚决打击。[B]项说的是打击作弊行为的结果，而不是原因。[C]医学依靠政府，[D]医学院中作弊行为普遍存在，都不符合文章内容。
3. 答案是[A] Family, culture and society play an active part.
解析：[A]的内容符合文章的原意。作者在讨论作弊现象的根源时，结论是，作弊现象存在，原因是多方面的。学生在上医学院之前受到的家庭，社会和文化的熏陶在很大程度上决定他们是否会在考试中作弊。也就是选项[A]的内容。[B][C][D]的说法虽然都有道理，但是都过于绝对。学校的环境，家长的教育，电视的影响，虽然都起一定作用，但是都不能说是决定性的。Leading，always，primarily之类的用词决定了它们都不是最佳选项。
4. 答案是[C] Medical schools should teach future doctors integrity and ethical values.
解析：[A]“医学院应该确立明确道德标准，淘汰道德素质低下的申请者”是错误选项。因为文章谈到如何甄别申请医学院学生的道德素质的时候，作者用的是虚拟语气have的过去式had(if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance)：如果能有可靠的标准，能预先了解学生的道德水平，医学院在录取的时候应该照顾那些恪守道德准则的学生。可见目前并没有这样的标准可循。[B] Medical schools should make efforts to remedy the ills of a society.和文章的内容相反。因为文章明确地说Medical schools...cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society.[C]项错，因为文章的本意是，医学院的学生在学期间，道德素质不仅不会提高，而且可能下降(regress)。但是作者并没有说，医学院在提高学生素质方面无计可施，而是敦促学校采取相应措施，imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity，(增强未来的医师们的道德感)。
5. 答案是[C] Medical students should play an active role in the creation and preservation of a culture of integrity.
解析：[C]项和文章最后一段的The development of a school's culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing相呼应。[A]错，因为作者没有建议医(转载自中国教育文摘http://www.edUzhai.net，请保留此标记。)学院应该降低考试难度。[B]的叙述不准确，因为作者的本意是医学界的要人应该树立楷模，而不是让他们设定一套人人遵循的行规。[D]错，作者仅提议医学院对有违反道德准则学生的处罚应该是坚决，公正，透明和统一的。作者并没有明确倡议一旦有作弊行为就将其开除出校。
⑤ 2017年英语六级阅读理解：Smother Love
Smother Love
Every morning,Leanne Brickland and he sister would bicycle to school with the same words ringing in their ears:“watch out crossing the road.Don't speak to strangers”.“Mum would stand at the top of the steps and call that out,”says Brickland,now a primary-school teachet and mother of four from Rotorua,New Zealand.Substitute boxers and thongs for undies(内衣),and the nagging fears that haunt parents haven't really changed.What has altered,dramatically,is the confidence we once had in our children's ability to fling themselves at life without a grown-up holding their hands
行塌Worry-ridden Parents and Stifled Kids
档返圆By today'sstandards,the childhood freedoms Brickland took for granted practically verge on parental neglect.Her mother worked,so she and her sister had a key to let themselves in after school and were expected todo their homework and put on the potatoes for dinner.At the family's beach house near Wellington,the two girls,from the age of five or six,would disappear for hours to play in the lakes and sands.
A generation later,Brickland's children are growing up in a world more inlged yet more accustomed to peril.The techno-minded generation of PlayStation kids who can conquer entire armies and rocket through spacecan't even be trusted to cross the street alone.“I worry about the road.I worry about strangers.In some ways I think they'世尺re missing out,but I like to be able to see them, to know where they are and what they'redoing.”
Call it smother love,inlged-kid syndrome,parental neurosis(神经症).Even though today's children have the universe at their fingertips thanks to the Internet,their physical boundaries are shrinking at a rapid pace.According to British social scientist Mayer Hillman,a child's play zone has contracted so radically that we're procing the human equivalent of henhouse chickens-plump from lack of exercise and without the flexibility and initiative of freerange kids of the past.The spirit of our times is no longer the resourceful adventurer Tom Sawyer but rather the worry-ridden dad and his stifled only child in Finding Nemo.
In short,child rearing has become an exercise in risk minimization,represented by stories such as the father who refused to allow his daughter on a school picnic to the beach for fear she might drown.While it's natural for a parent to want to protect their children from danger,you have to wonder;Have we gone too far?
Parents Wrap Kids up in Cotton Wool
A study concted by Paul Tranter,a lecturer in geography at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra,showed that while Australian and New Zealand children had similar smounts of unsupervised freedom,it was far less than German of English kids.For example,only a third of ten-year-olds in Australia and New Zealand were allowed to visit places other than school alone,compared to 80 percent in Germany.
Girls were even more restricted than boys,with parents fearing assault or molestation(骚扰),while traffic dangers were seen as the greatest threat to boys.Bike ownership has doubled in a generation,but“independent mobility”---the ability to roam and explore unsupervised---has radically declined.In Auckland,for example,many primary schools have done away with bicycle racks because the streets are considered too unsafe.And in Christchurch,New Zealand's most bike-friendly city,the number of pupils cycling to school has fallenfrom more than 90 percent in the late 1970s to less than 20 percent.Safely strapped into the family 4x4,children are instead driven from home to the school gate,then off to ballet,soccer or swimming lessons--rarely straying from watchful alt eyes.
In the U.S.Journal of Physical Ecation,Recreation&Dance,New Jersey assistant principal and hockey coach Bobbie Schultz writes that playing in the street after school with neighbourhood kids--creating their own rules,making their own decisions and settling disputes--was where the real learning took place.“The street was one of the greatest sources of my life skills,”she says.“I don't see‘on-the-street play’anymore.I see alt-organized activities.Parents don't realize what an integral part of character development their children are missing.”
Armoured with bicycle helmets,car seats,“safe”playgrounds and sunscreen,children are getting the messageloud and clear that the world is full or peril--and that they're ill-equipped to handle it alone.Yet research consistently shows young people are much more capable than we think,says professor Anne Smith,directorof New Zealand's Children's Issues Centre.“The thing that many alts have difficulty with is that children can't learn to be grown-up if they're excluded and protected all the time.”
Ecational psychologist Paul Prangley reckons it's about time the kid gloves came off.He believes parenting has taken on a paranoid(患妄想狂的)edge that's creating a generation of naive,insecure youngsters whoare subconsciously being taught they're incapable of handing things by themselves.“Flexibility and the ability to resist pressure and temptation are learned skills,”Prangley explains.“If you wrap kids up in cotton wool and don't give them the opportunity to take risks,they're less equipped to make responsible decisions later in life.”
Parents Should Gain Proper Perspective
Sadly,high-profile cases of children being kidnapped and murdered--such as ten-year-old Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in the United Kingdom;five-year-old Chloe Hoson in Australia,whose body was found just 200 metres from where she lived;and six-year-old Teresa Cormack in New Zealand,who was snatched off the street on her way to school--only serve to reinforce parents'fears.Teresa Cormack's death,for example,was one of the rare New Zealand cases of random child kidnap.In Australia,the odds of someone under the age of 15 being murdered by a stranger have been estimated at one in four million.A child is at far greater risk from afamily member or someone they know.
However,parental fear is contagious.In one British study,far more children feared an attack by a stranger than being hit by a car.“We are losing our sense of perspective,”write Jan Parker and Jan Stimpson in their parenting book,Raising Happy Children.“Every parent has to negotiate their own route between equipping children with the skills they need to stay safe and not restricting or terrifying them unnecessarily in the process.”
Dr.Claire Freeman,a planning expert at the University of Otago,points to the erosion of community responsibility as another casualty of that mutual distrust.Not so long ago,alts knew all the local kids and werethe informal guardians of the neighbourhood.“Now,particularly if you are a man,you may hesitate to offer help to a lost child for fear your motives might be questioned.”
More Space and More Attention to Kid's Needs
As a planner in the mid-1990s,Freeman became concerned about the loss of green space to development and the erosion of informal places to play.In a study that looked at how children in the British city of Leeds spent their summer holidays,compared with their parents' childhood experiences,she found the freedom to explore had been severely contracted--in some cases,down to the front yard.Freeman says she cannot remember being inside the house as a child,or being alone.Growing up was about being part of a group.Now a mother offour,Freeman believes the “domestication of play”is robbing kids of their sense of belonging within a society.
Nevertheless,Freeman says children's needs are starting to get more emphasis.In the Netherlands,child-friendly “home zones”have been created where priority is given to pedestrians,rather than cars.And ponds arebeing incorporated back into housing estates on the principle that children should learn to be safe aroundwater,rather than be surrounded by a barren landscape.After all ,as one of the smarter fosh says in Finding Nemo there's one problem with nothing ever will.

答案：
1.[D][定位]首段末句。
解析：题止中的changed与原文该句中的altered为同义词，可见altered的宾语confidence为答案的关键间，在4个选项中，只有D与confidence有关，为本题答案。A中的dressing试图将考生的注意力转移到首段倒数第2句的boxers(四脚裤)和undies(内衣)，虽然这两个词比较陌生，但看到该句末的haven't changed，就无须考虑太多，可以肯定A并非本题答案。其他两个选项的内容在原文并未提及。
2.[B][定位]根据题干中的Brickland, her sister及home key定位到第1个小标题Worry-ridden Parents and Stifled Kids下首段第2句。
解析：原文该句中的...so...表明了与题干要求的同样的因果关系，so前面提到的原因与B相同，因此本题应选B。其他选项均来提及。
3.[A][定位]根据题干中的Mayer Hillman定位到笫1个小标题Worry-ridde Parents and Stifled Kids下第3段第3句。
解析：该句中的contracted与less and less意思相近，与contracted前的play zone
同义的选项为本题答案，因此A为本题答案。要小心B。原文该句中提到的henhouse chickens可能会误导考生选择B.事宴上，henhouse chickens用于比喻受过分保护的小孩，与animals没有关系。
4.[C][定位]根据题干中的allowed to visit places 和school alone定位到第2个小标题Parents Wrap Kids up in Cotton Wool下首段末句。
解析：原文该段提到多个国家的名称，只要按照题干中的eighty percent，再结合选项中的国家名称。应该很快可以确定本题答案为C。
5.[D][定位]根据the greatest threat to boys定位到第2个小标题Parents Wrap Kids up in Cotton Wool下第2段首句。
解析：原文该句while引出的分句明确表明traffic dangers是对男孩最大的安全威胁，D是对traffic dangers的同义改写，为本题答案。
6.[A][定位]根据题干中的Bobbie Schultz和rcal learning定位到第2个小标题Parents Wrap Kids up in Cotton Wool下第3段首句和第3句。
解析：将首句中破折号前后的内容结合起来可以知道playing in the street after school with neighbourhood kids就是真正学到本领的地方。在该段第3句Bobbie Schultz将此简称为on-the-street play，因此A为本题答案。
7.[B][定位]根据题干中的Chloe Hoson定位到第3个小标题Parents Should Gain Proper Perspective下首段首句。
解析：该句笫2个分句中的body暗示Chloe Hoson被murdered(该句开头提到的)，因此本题应选B。本段提到的是kidnap和murder，其他选项提到的各种罪案在原文并未提及。
8.[the erosion of community responsibility]
[定位]根据题干中的Claire Freeman和mutual定位到第3个小标题Parents Should Gain Proper Perspective下末段首句。
解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。原文该句中的...as another casualty of...，表明mutual distrust导致the erosion of community responsibility，题目中的lack of mutual trust是对mutual distrust的同义改写，由此可见，the erosion of community responsibility为本题答案。
9.[the“domestication of play”]
[定位]根据题干中的Freeman和kids are robbed of their sense定位到最后一个小标题More Space and More Attention to Kids’Needs下首段末句。
解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。对比原文与题目可见，两个句子的语态相反：原文rob为主动语态，而题目中rob为被动语态，两句的主语和宾语位置相反，所以原文rob的主语the“domestication of play”即为本题答案。
10.[child-friendly“home zones”]
[定位]根据题干中的The Netherlands和pedestrians定位到最后一个小标题 More Space and More Attention to Kids' Needs下末段第2句。
解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。题干与原文中where引出的定语从句内容相同，两句对比可见.题目中缺少了原句中的主语child-friendly“home zones”。

Piaget argued that once adolescents enter the world of work, their newly acquired ability to form hypotheses allows them to create representations that are too ideal. The28__________ of such ideals, without the tempering of the reality of a job or profession, rapidly leads adolescents to become29__________ of the non-idealistic world and to press for reform in a characteristically adolescent way.

Section B段落匹配
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Can societies be rich and green?
[A] our economies are to flourish, if global poverty is to be eliminated and if the well-being of the world's people enhanced—not just in this generation but in succeeding generations—we must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends." That statement comes not, as you might imagine, from a stereotypical tree-hugging, save-the-world greenie (环保主义者), but from Gordon Brown, a politician with a reputation for rigour, thoroughness and above all, caution.
[B] A surprising thing for the man who runs one of the world's most powerful economies to say? Perhaps; though in the run-up to the five-year review of the Millennium (千年的)Goals, he is far from alone. The roots of his speech, given in March at the roundtable meeting of environment and energy ministers from the G20 group of nations, stretch back to 1972, and the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm.
[C] "The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world," read the final declaration from this gathering, the first of a sequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit in Johannesburg three years ago.
[D] Hunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groups—many for conferences such as this year's Millennium Goals review—and you will find that the linkage between environmental protection and economic progress is a common thread.
[E] Managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them, according to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. But finding hard evidence to support the thesis is not so easy. Thoughts turn first to some sort of global statistic, some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic and environmental terms and show a relationship between the two.
[F] If such an indicator exists, it is well hidden. And on reflection, this is not surprising; the single word "environment" has so many dimensions, and there are so many other factors affecting wealth—such as the oil deposits—that teasing out a simple economy-environment relationship would be almost impossible.
[G] The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a vast four-year global study which reported its initial conclusions earlier this year, found reasons to believe that managing ecosystems sustainably— working with nature rather than against it—might be less profitable in the short term, but certainly brings long-term rewards.
[H] And the World Resources Institute (WRI) in its World Resources 2005 report, issued at the end of August, proced several such examples from Africa and Asia; it also demonstrated that environmental degradation affects the poor more than the rich, as poorer people derive a much higher proportion of their income directly from the natural resources around them.
[I] But there are also many examples of growing wealth by trashing the environment, in rich and poor parts of the world alike, whether through unregulated mineral extraction, drastic water use for agriculture, slash-and-burn farming, or fossil-fuel-guzzling (大量消耗) transport. Of course, such growth may not persist in the long term—which is what Mr. Brown and the Stockholm declaration were both attempting to point out. Perhaps the best example of boom growth and bust decline is the Grand Banks fishery. For almost five centuries a very large supply of cod (鳕鱼) provided abundant raw material for an instry which at its peak employed about 40,000 people, sustaining entire communities in Newfoundland. Then, abruptly, the cod population collapsed. There were no longer enough fish in the sea for the stock to maintain itself, let alone an instry. More than a decade later, there was no sign of the ecosystem re-building itself. It had, apparently, been fished out of existence; and the once mighty Newfoundland fleet now gropes about frantically for crab on the sea floor.
[J] There is a view that modem humans are inevitably sowing the seeds of a global Grand Banks-style disaster. The idea is that we are taking more out of what you might call the planet's environmental bank balance than it can sustain; we are living beyond our ecological means. One recent study attempted to calculate the extent of this "ecological overshoot of the human economy", and found that we are using 1.2 Earth's-worth of environmental goods and services—the implication being that at some point the debt will be called in, and all those services—the things which the planet does for us for free-will grind to a halt.
[K] Whether this is right, and if so where and when the ecological axe will fall, is hard to determine with any precision—which is why governments and financial institutions are only beginning to bring such risks into their economic calculations. It is also the reason why development agencies are not
united in their view of environmental issues; while some, like the WRI, maintain that environmental progress needs to go hand-in-hand with economic development, others argue that the priority is to build a thriving economy, and then use the wealth created to tackle environmental degradation.
[L] This view assumes that rich societies will invest in environmental care. But is this right? Do things get better or worse as we get richer? Here the Stockholm declaration is ambiguous. "In the developing countries," it says, "most of the environmental problems are caused by under-development." So it is saying that economic development should make for a cleaner world? Not necessarily; "In the instrialized countries, environmental problems are generally related to instrialisation and technological development," it continues. In other words, poor and rich both over-exploit the natural world, but for different reasons. It's simply not true that economic growth will surely make our world cleaner.
[M] Clearly, richer societies are able to provide environmental improvements which lie well beyond the reach of poorer communities. Citizens of wealthy nations demand national parks, clean rivers, clean air and poison-free food They also, however, use far more natural resources—fuel, water (all those baths and golf courses) and building materials.
[N] A case can be made that rich nations export environmental problems, the most graphic example being climate change. As a country's wealth grows, so do its greenhouse gas emissions. The figures available will not be completely accurate. Measuring emissions is not a precise science, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding land use; not all nations have released up-to-date data, and in any case, emissions from some sectors such as aviation are not included in national statistics. But the data is exact enough for a clear trend to be easily discernible. As countries become richer, they proce more greenhouse gases; and the impact of those gases will fall primarily in poor parts of the world.
[O] Wealth is not, of course, the only factor involved. The average Norwegian is better off than the average US citizen, but contributes about half as much to climate change. But could Norway keep its standard of living and yet cut its emissions to Moroccan or even Ethiopian levels? That question, repeated across a dozen environmental issues and across our diverse planet, is what will ultimately determine whether the human race is living beyond its ecological means as it pursues economic revival.

Section C仔细阅读
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 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Interactive television advertising, which allows viewers to use their remote controls to click on advertisements, has been pushed for years. Nearly a decade ago it was predicted that viewers of "Friends", a popular situation comedy, would soon be able to purchase a sweater like Jennifer Aniston's with a few taps on their remote control. "It's been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years," says Colin Dixon of a digital-media consultancy.
So the news that Cablevision, an American cable company, was rolling out interactive advertisements to all its customers on October 6th was greeted with some skepticism. During commercials, an overlay will appear at the bottom of the screen, prompting viewers to press a button to request a free sample or order a catalogue. Cablevision hopes to allow customers to buy things with their remote controls early next year.
Television advertising could do with a boost. Spending fell by 10% in the first half of the year. The popularization of digital video recorders has caused advertisers to worry that their commercials will be skipped. Some are turning to the Internet, which is cheaper and offers concrete measurements like click-through rates—especially important at a time when marketing budgets are tight. With the launch of interactive advertising, "many of the dollars that went to the Internet will come back to the TV," says David Kline of Cablevision. Or so the instry hopes.
In theory, interactive advertising can engage viewers in a way that 30-second spots do not Unilever recently ran an interactive campaign for its Axe deodorant (除臭剂), which kept viewers engaged for more than three minutes on average.
The amount spent on interactive advertising on television is still small. Magna, an advertising agency, reckons it will be worth about $138 million this year. That falls far short of the billions of dollars people once expected it to generate. But DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable have all invested in it. A new effort led by Canoe Ventures, a coalition of leading cable providers, aims to make interactive advertising available across America later this year. BrightLine iTV, which designs and sells interactive ads, says interest has surged: it expects its revenues almost to triple this year. BSkyB, Britain's biggest satellite-television service, already provides 9 million customers with interactive ads.
Yet there are doubts whether people watching television, a "lean back" medium, crave interaction. Click-through rates have been high so far (around 3-4%, compared with less than 0.3% online), but that may be a result of the novelty. Interactive ads and viewers might not go well together.
46. What does Colin Dixon mean by saying "It's been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years(Lines 4-5, Para. 1)?
A. Interactive television advertising will become popular in 10-12 years.
B. Interactive television advertising has been under debate for the last decade or so.
C. Interactive television advertising is successful when incorporated into situation comedies.
D. Interactive television advertising has not achieved the anticipated results.
47. What is the public's response to Cablevision's planned interactive TV advertising program?
A. Pretty positive.
B. Totally indifferent.
C. Somewhat doubtful.
D. Rather critical.
48. What is the impact of the wide use of digital video recorders on TV advertising?
A. It has made TV advertising easily accessible to viewers.
B. It helps advertisers to measure the click-through rates.
C. It has placed TV advertising at a great disadvantage.
D. It enables viewers to check the sales items with ease.
49. What do we learn about Unilever's interactive campaign?
A. It proves the advantage of TV advertising.
B. It has done well in engaging the viewers.
C. It helps attract investments in the company.
D. It has boosted the TV advertising instry.
⑦ 2018下半年英语六级阅读SectionC部分真题解析
2018下半年英语六级阅读SectionC部分真题解析
一、真题解析——智能手机
第一篇文章，串联题干，目前我们做的智能手机负面影响，串联题干给我们很好的方向，What does the author say about the negative impact of smartphones?这是讨论智能手机，前面讨论的是不好的影响。有不好的地方，会提出意见改进，四级、六级都是反复套路，这是我们学习的目的。
第二题，除了没有那么明显的一些优势，说明有优势，我们手机技术怎么样，到了第三题，一些传统对于心理psychological，考一个词汇，认识它肯定对于你做题有很大的帮助，毕竟它能够帮助你理解文章，做题效率高，如果不理解，就是定位点。它会出现在接下来三道题，甚至会超过手机。这里讨论手机和心理学之间的联系。它问传统心理学研究方式，接下来会有新旧对比，谁改变了的呢?最有可能的是手机。
目前传统、现在，都是在课程里面，反复给大家提到过，谈一个事情利弊，谈另外一个事情的过去与现在。
看我们给出的答案，第一个题说负面影响怎么样，It is not so obvious but has caused some concern.它尽管没有那么明显，其实已经引起了很多人的关注。注意，这是我们原文当中，在第三段当中明确谈到的一个话题，就是细节，几乎没有改写。这个关键词叫less obvious ，我们题干信息当中已经提示你了，你思考一下lessobvious，因为题干信息一定是文章当中正确信息，我们串联题干的时候只看题干，不看选项，选项里面有错误。如果某个选项跟题干保持一致，这个选项很难是错误的，这就是我们考试背后所隐藏的应试规律，这个规律就是课程当中的解题技巧。
第二题，面对没有那么明显的优势，我们要考虑它什么样的内容，这道题，我们谈一些事情，文章当中的主要矛盾，你考试的时候一定有印象，有一个概念被反复提到，human behavior，就是人类行为，人类行为跟什么有关系，后面三四五都讲心理学，这个单词还可以提示你这道题的答案，如果你不认识这个单词，这个方法就用不到，你还可以通过阅读文章找到反复强调核心内容，反复强调的是重点，重点是考点。
第三题，我们传统心理学研究怎么样，往后阅读就知道，我们现在一定用到科技手段，用到手机。传统呢?It relies on lab observations and participants’ reports.传统依赖于实业，以及参与人自己的劳动，一是技术，一是人工劳动。
第四题，对于未来心理学的研究，对于我们个体带来什么样的好处，这道题典型是细节定位，有一个词pin，订书机，意思就是帮你确定下来，对应文章当中的单词identify，这个选项考你的单词同义替换。
第五题，目前心理学越来越关注真实情况，真实情况跟什么东西相关呢?手机，所有人都用智能手机，每个人的手机都会有数据，这是活生生的案例，而不需要把一帮人关在实验室。
串联题干，有非常明显的逻辑关系，西方人逻辑就是骨子当中，不像中国人，中国人形散神更散，中国人留给世界是诗词，西方人是数学，是有逻辑的，这些体现在他们的文字当中，文章里面，阅读的本质是逻辑。
这些东西都会在唐叔公众号详细阐述，我们接下来一个礼拜，一方面梳理考研当中重点出现的单词，在我公众号，还要强调逻辑关系，这个逻辑关系可以帮你跃掉很多单词给你造成的障碍。
二、真题解析——杜克大学的研究
我们看第二篇，各个题干没有给出第一篇那么多提示信息，目前杜克大学的研究，研究结果是什么，为什么确定这个研究结果是有效的。这道题是难题，它出现了定位错乱，不太好找位置，我们在课堂当中给出一个至高无上的宝典，细节服从主旨，细节在哪里，都是谈到杜克大学的研究，意味着这两个题目的答案应该是高度保持一致的。
第三题，我们没有发现它的研究怎么样，全篇文章都在谈论这个研究，一定记住，关于科学研究性的文章，实验本身的过程不重要，重要的是结果，我们阅读文章的时候，老说时间不够，你关注一下这篇文章原文，当中有大量出现的过程，我怎么知道是过程，大量数据，你可以快速扫过去，你就知道不是结论。
其中有一道题和目前网上公布的答案，个人看来跟他们不一样，有争议。
第一题，这是我们文章当中考的反复强调的核心，The predictors of children’s academicsuccess.，抓住核心，主要矛盾，比较其他选项的时候都没有谈到学术成就。往后梳理所有答案，这个学术成就再次出现。
第二题，如何确保这些证明是有效的，这道题考生现场很有可能没有找到定位点，这道题定位点出现第三题后边，颠三倒四。
第三题，研究结果怎么样，What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?，关注两个词，一个是academic ，前面出现过的，一个是suffer ，你的学术结果可能遭殃，注意力不集中，文章开宗明义讨论的是孩子注意力会影响到后天学习成绩，这两个词又是我们文章当中翻来覆去谈到的。只有我们这一个选项，同时涉及到这两个主要矛盾。
还有一个特别容易出现高频选项的单词，may ，语气特别缓和。
倒数第二道题，我强调反复出现是重点，重点是考点，细节服从主旨，抓住这些，学术成绩更好。
最后这道题，我的答案和网上答案不一样，我给的结论叫an all-round approach should be adopted in school ecation，全方位的方法需要在学校教育当中被采纳，网上第二题和唐叔结论保持一致，你体会一下，如何保证现在的研究是正确的呢?我们赋予了其他很多可能的变量，不是一个研究说了算，有很多的研究，你来看一下，其他的研究也都很重要。合在一块，叫全方位，需要考虑各式各样的因素。网上争议答案谈到，我们去关注人际之间是非常重要的因素，我个人认为有失偏颇，不是这篇文章讨论的核心，讨论的核心是这点很重要，那点也很重要，正确答案和正确答案之间不能存在矛盾分析。
⑧ 大学英语六级考试阅读理解分析 - 六级阅读
1.大纲要求
六级考试大纲对阅读理解题的要求为：既能理解个别句子的意义，也能理解上下文的逻辑关系；既能理解字面的意思，也能理解隐含的意思；既能理解事实和细节，也能理解所读材料的主旨和大意；能就文章的内容进行判断，推理和信息转换。
2.六级考试阅读理解题的特点
a.考试时间为35分钟，共20题，每题2分，共计40分。阅读理解主要有四篇短文，短文的长度平均为350词左右，总阅读量为1400词左右，阅读速度平均为70Wpm(word per minute)
b.阅读理解的题材广泛，体裁多种，题型多样。阅读理解的题材广泛，内容包罗万象,如有关动植物、人物传记、历史、文化、环境、资源、交通、医学、经济、信息等方面。总体上说，其题材主要集中在科普知识，社会文化和经济生活三方面。阅读理解的体裁有叙述文、议论文、说明文等，通过历年试题的分析我们发现六级阅读文章主要是议论文和说明文。阅读理解的题型主要有主观性题型和客观性题型。前者主要包括主旨型、推理型、作者语气、态度型、结论型等。后者主要包括事实型、推测词义型、指代关系型、常识题、是非题等。
读理解题的复习方法
（1）培养良好的阅读习惯
这里主要强调读者要始终以一种积极的心态去阅读。我们阅读的目的是获取知识信息，了解他人对有关问题的态度和看法，所以阅读时我们应培养对新的知识信息的自觉的敏锐感，对作者的观点和态度进行批判性的分析；跟上作者的写作思路，从已读的部分可以预知作者下面要讲的内容；辨别文章中哪些是作者的论亩档点，哪些是事实和论据。只要我们平时能养成这样的阅读习惯，就不会被淹没在作者所呈现的各种事实和材料中；考试时就能应付各种类型的问题；也就能够更加有意识地略过那些自己不甚明了但不影响基本阅读任务的完成的部分。
（2）广泛涉猎，了解有关背景知识
阅读理解试题在其种程度上不仅仅是对考生英语语言水平的考查，同时也是对考生知识面及知识结构的考查。如有些雹耐纯考生对短文中的词汇和语法结构基本上都知道了，但是对其真正的涵义即隐含的意思却模棱两可，似懂非懂，做题目时便举棋不定。这主要是对短文的背景知识不了解，甚至一窍不通的结果。所以考生在平时应广泛阅读，特别是一些自己比较生疏的领域，如某些科技知识等。如果考生对背景内容比较熟悉，读起来就比较顺利，对文章的理解也比较透彻，做起题目也会得心应手。再如本考题中有推测文章来源的题目，则需要考生有一定的文体知识，如演讲、社论、新闻、书评、教科书、科技论文等的内容特点和语言特点。总之，广泛涉猎，了解一些背景知识，即有助于增加语感，对短文的理解又有助于提高阅读的速度。
（3）防止“题海”战术，注意提高阅读速度和解题技巧。
有些考生误认为练习做得越多，在考试中阅读理解题的得分也就越高。其时不然，如不注意阅读速度和解题技巧，便会事倍功半。
(a) 由于考试时的心理因素或其它因素的干忧，所以考生在平时练习时应把握好测试时间，按略高于考源咐试要求的速度即70wpm进行练习。
(b) 在解题时考生还应注意题型，对于不同的题型应采取不同的解题思路和技巧。如：
a. 主旨题。其命题方式中含有“main idea, subject, purpose”等词，做这种题时，主要是看篇章中的主题句或者是从篇章的结构着手，利用自己的推理能力，对文章的信息进行分析，从而归纳总结出主题。
b. 推理题。通过对文字表面的认识，把握住推理范围，利用相关部分提供的事实、背景知识和常识，保持正确的思维过程和遵循严格的逻辑规律，从而做出正确的选择。
c. 作者语气、态度、观点型。判断作者的观点和态度主要是通过说话的语气、文章的措词、文体等，同时也应注意语篇中的修辞。
d. 对于细节问题，应首先找到它的考查点，然后根据它的命题规律答题。这类题的题干+答案在意义上通常等于原文中某一部分的内容，也就是说用不同的表达方式使题干+答案与原文等值。所用的方法大致有释义、使用同义词、反义词或词组、利用词汇的同现、复现、上、下义词以及句式和语态的转换等等。干扰项要么与文章中的事实或观点截然相反，要么与文章所述的事实或观点部分不符，要么在文章中根本没有涉及。总之，题目不在于做的“多”，而在于做的“精”，“精”就精在阅读速度和解题技巧。
考生临场注意事项
1.克服对生词的恐惧心理。在阅读中，如遇到生词，应利用词汇学知识（如“前缀、后缀”）、句法语义知识和根据上下文来进行推测，对于不影响篇章理解的生词可跳过。
2.做题前应先用扫描法弄清问题的类型及出题角度，再带着问题看短文，注意与问题有关的信息词及与问题有关的段落范围。
3.做题时，应注意不同的题型采取不同的策略，以提高解题的速度和准确率。
总而言之，考生在平时应注意复习方法，在考试中应注意应试技巧，希望阅读理解题能成为您进军六级的“阶梯”，而不是“拦路虎”。
⑨ 2017年英语六级阅读理解：eBay
eBay
eBay is a global phenomenon-the world's largest garage sale, online shopping center, car dealer and auction site with 147 million registered users in 30 countries as of March 2005. You can find everything from encyclopedias to olives to snow boots to stereos to airplanes for sale. And if you stumble on it before the eBay overseers do, you might even find a human kidney or a virtual date.
eBay Basics
eBay is, first and foremost. an online auction site. You can browse through categories like Antiques, Boats, Clothing & Accessories, Computers & Networking,Jewelry &握衡 Watches and Video Games. When you see something you like, you click on the auction title and view the details, including pictures, descriptions,payment options and shipping information.
If you place a bid on an item,you enter a contractual agreement to buy it if you win the auction. All auctions have minimum starting bids, and some have a reserve price-a secret minimum amount the seller is willing to accept for the item. If the bidding doesn't reach the reserve price, the seller doesn't have to partwith the item. In addition to auctions, you can find tons of fixed-price items on eBay that make shopping there just like shopping at any other online marketplace. You see what you like, you buy it, you pay for it and you wait for it to arrive at your door.
You can pay for an item on eBay using a variety of methods, including money order, cashier's check, cash, personal check and electronic payment services like PayPal and BidPay. It's up to each seller to decide which payment methods he'll accept.
段岩做枣返Just as you can buy almost anything on eBay, you can sell almost anything, too. Using a simple listing process, you can put all of the junk in your basement up for sale to the highest bidder. When you sell an item on eBay,you pay listing fees and turn over a percentage of the final sale price to eBay.
Once you register (for free) with eBay, you can access all of your eBay buying and selling activities in asingle location called "My eBay."
eBay Infrastructure
A series of service disruptions in 1999 caused real problems for eBay's business. Over the course of threedays, overloaded servers intermittently shut down, meaning users couldn't check auctions, place bids or complete transactions ring that period. Buyers, sellers and eBay were very unhappy, and a complete restructuring of eBay's technological architecture Followed.
In 1999, eBay was one massive database server and a few separate systems running the search function. In 2005, eBay is about 200 database servers and 20 search servers.
The architecture is a type of grid computing that allows for both error correction and growth. With the exception of the search function, everything about eBay can actually run on approximately 50 servers-Web servers,application servers and data-storage systems. Each server has between 6 and 12 microprocessors. These50 0r so servers run separately, but they talk to each other,so everybody knows if there is a problem somewhere. eBay can simply add servers to the grid as the need arises.
While the majority of the site can run on 50 servers,eBay has four times that.The 200 servers are housed in sets of 50 in four locations,all in the United States. When you're using eBay, you may be talking to anyone of those locations at any time-they all store the same data. If one of the systems crashes. there are three others to pick up the slack.
When you're on the eBay Web site and you click on a listing for a Persian rug, your computer talks to Web servers, which talk to application servers, which pull data from storage servers so you can find out what the latest bid price is and how much time is left in the auction. eBay has local partners in many countries who deliver eBay's static data to cut down on download time, and there are monitoring systems in 45 cities around the world that constantly scan for problems in the network.
Using eBay: Security
In order to make buyers feel safer when making purchases on eBay, all tangible (有形的) items are automatically insured for $200. A recipe that was supposed to be delivered to you via e-mail is not considered a tangible item.But if you purchased a set of speakers that never arrived, and you go through the dispute process and eBay determines you were defrauded (欺骗)， you can get your money back up to $200.
Buyer Fraud
Buyer fraud is typically less damaging than seller fraud. The most common type of fraud a buyer can commitis simply not paying for an item. Sellers can deal with non-paying bidders by filing an Unpaid Item dispute. eBay will then attempt to contact the buyer and get her to pay. If she does not respond to eBay's attempts after eight days, the seller is reimbursed(赔偿) for eBay's cut of the final sale price and can relistthe item for free. If the buyer does respond, the dispute can end in one of three ways:
The buyer decides to pay, and everybody's happy.
The buyer and the seller decide together to abandon the transaction,the seller gets reimbursed for the final-value fee and relists the item for free,and everybody's happy.
The seller decides noe to deal with the buyer, the buyer gets an unpaiditem strike against her, and the seller gets reimbursed for the final-value fee and relists the item for free.
In the end, the damage to the seller is relatively small. Another type of buyer fraud occurs when a buyer sends false payment. In most cases,this is in the form of a bounced check, and the seller finds out about it before shipping the item. Bounced checks are as common on eBay as they are in the rest of the world, and many sellers choose not to accept personal checks for this reason.
Seller Fraud
Seller fraud is what most people think about when they worry about using eBay. There are two main ways in which a buyer can be defrauded by a seller: The item the buyer purchased is dramatically different from how it was described in the listing; or the item simply never arrives.
One thing to keep in mind when you think you've been defrauded is that miscommunication is common on eBay.For instance, if you didn't read every word of the auction listing for your item, you may have missed the part that said the seller would be out of town for three weeks and wouldn't be able to ship the item untilshe returned. This could be why you don't have your item and the seller isn't answering your e-mails. Also,e-mail is not the most straightforward form of communication. If your item hasn't arrived after two weeks, and you've e-mailed the seller but haven't heard back, it's a good idea to check your junk mail folder. Your seller may have sent a response e-mail that just never made it to your inbox. If there's nothing fromthe seller in your junk folder, you can request that eBay reveal your seller's phone number so you can give him a call and see what's going on.
If you don't get an answer to your phone call (or if your seller lives in another country and it would cost too much money to call), your next step is to start the dispute process. When a buyer believes he has been defrauded, he can file a complaint, and eBay will work to solve the problem. When you file a complaint in eBay's "Item Not Received or Significantly Not as Described" system,eBay will act as middleman between you and your seller to try to settle the dis pute. lf that fails, you can file a claim to get reimbursed for your purchase.

答案：
1.[A][定位]根据题干中的eBay overseers定位至首段末句。
解析：在原文该句末明确提到，此处是唯一提到overseers的地方，其他选项均来提及，很明显，本题答案为A。
2.[B][定位]本题题干的题眼不明显，根据选项关键词bid，price，cost等在原文查找与“出价”有关的细节，由此定位至第1个小标题eBay Basics部分的第2段笫3句。
解析：题干中的have the right to refuse the deal是原文该句doesn’t have to part with the item的近义改写，因此答案为B。
3.[D][定位]根据题干中的PayPal和BidPay定位至第1个小标题eBay Basics部分的第3段首句。
解析：原文该句末的electronic payment services like PayPal and BidPay表明PayPal和BidPay属于electronic payment services，因此本题应选D。
4.[D][定位]根据题干中的buy or sell及选项定位至第1个小标题eBay Basics部分的末段。
解析：本题的题干题眼不明显，应从选项入手，因为这些选项都是专有名词，在原文应该比较显眼。逐一查找选项就可发现只有D在第1个小标题下末段提及，其他选项均未提及。
5.[C][定位]根据题干中的server和microprocessors定位至第2个小标题eBay Infrastructure部分的第3段第3句。
解析：本题除了可根据题干的题眼定位原文找到答案外，还可查找与选项数字相关的内容，这些数字集中在第2个小标题下第2、3段，这样，查找到C的时候就可发现这一组数字为正确答案。
6.[B][定位]根据题干中的listing和Web site定位至第2个小标题eBay Infrastructure部分的末段首句。
解析：原文该句提到了多个server，还有多个套叠的定语从句，但是根据题干中的first可以迅速选择B，因为这是在原文中首先提到的server。
7.[C][定位]根据题干中的recipe和tangible定位至第3个小标题Using eBay：Security部分的首段第2句。
解析：根据题眼定位后，可知只有C在原文提及，其他选项都属于无中生有。
8.[non-paying bidders]
[定位]根据题干中的Unpaid Item dispute定位至第3个小标题Using eBay: Security部分的次标题Buyer Fraud下首段第3句。
解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。本题要求查找申请Unpaid Item dispute的用处，原文句中的deal with... by filing an Unpaid Item dispute表明卖方以此对付那些不付款的投标者，因此deal with后的宾语non-paying bidders为本题答案。
9.[bounced checks]
[定位]根据题干中的personal checks定位至第3个小标题Using eBay: Security部分的次标题Buyer Fraud下末段末句。
解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。只要在原文找到this reason的所指，就能顺利解决本题。根据该段的主要内容和末句的主语可以推断this reason指的就是bounced checks，这就是本题答案。
10.[middleman]
[定位]根据题干中的dispute process定位至全文末段倒数第2句。
解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。题目中的plays the role of与原文中的act as为同义词，加上题目中的between the seller and buyer和原文一致，不难判断本题答案应为原文act as后的middleman。
⑩ 英语六级阅读各类题型解题方法
1. 英语六级阅读主旨题(Sum Up/Title)--看文章每段第一句(抓大放小，找最重要的，看每段的第一句)，但是当文章的段落特别多时不适应。
24. Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A) Advantages and disadvantages of automation.
B) Labour and the effects of automation.
C) Unemployment benefit plans and automation.
D) Social benefits of automation.
注：文章三段第一句都出现automation，两段出现labour，因此这两个词是重点，必然在选项中出现。
Automation refers to the introction of electronic control and automatic operation of proctive machinery. It reces the human factors， mental and physical， in proction， and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American instry has been called the “Second Instrial Revolution”。
注：refers to 指的是(对前面的词下定义)
Labour‘s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment， and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main， labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually， the result of automation may well be an increase in employment， since it is expected that vast instries will grow up around manufacturing， maintaining， and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also， union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased proction and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages， more leisure， and improved living standards.
注：labour 雇员(即employee)
concern [U]： (concern over/for/about sth./sb.) worry， anxiety
To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation， unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment， he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements， requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”， which calls for wage increases based on increases in proctivity. It is possible， however， that labour will rely mainly on rection in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation.
注：union 工会，联盟，和雇员有关
2. 英语六级阅读词汇题--找词所在句子关系
转折关系。例如：六级很难，但是……，找转折连词 But， Yet， However。
并列关系。例如：A and B，问A就把B内容填进去。六级中and前后一定是一致的。
解释关系。用because和从句in which等联系。
例如：
30. “An identifying figure” (Line 2， Para. 5) refers to a person ______.
A) who serves as a model for others
B) who is always successful
C) who can be depended upon
D) who has been rewarded for his success
(文章前四段省略)
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole， and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations， imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
注：把握and前后是并列关系。(榜样就是别人敬仰的人)记住不要多读!!!多读会选错!
3. 细节题--(针对原文的一点、一句话、一个词组)直接细节、推理题(因果推理找as/because/since和暗示题imply)
例如：
推理题：31. It is implied that fifty years ago ____________ 。
A) eighty percent of American working people were employed in factories
B) twenty percent of American intellectuals were employees
C) the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as that of instrial workers
D) the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that of instrial workers(反推)
直接细节题：
34. According to the writer， professional knowledge or skill is _______ 。
A) less important than awareness of being a good employee(把句中话反过来说)
B) as important as the ability to deal with public relations
C) more important than employer- employee relations
D) as important as the ability to co- operate with others in the organization
Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed， i. e.， worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago “being employed” meant working as a factory labourer or as a farmhand， the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal ecation， holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed， two things have characterized American society ring these last fifty years： middle-class and upper - class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population-growing so fast that the instrial worker， that oldest child of the Instrial Revolution， has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of instrial proction.
Yet you will fine little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very bious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field， whether it be the mechanist’ s trade or bookkeeping (簿记)。 Every one of these trades requires different skills， sets different standards， and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly， especially in the large business or in government， employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder， the more you get into administrative or executive work， the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge.
4. 作者态度题(attitude)--正负态度
凡是文章探讨新事物--正态度(新正：支持)
凡是文章探讨老事物--负态度(老负：抨击、反对)
例外：中立题(不常见)
25. The writer‘s attitude towards the use of the telephone is ______.
A) affectionate
B) disapproving
C) approving
D) neutral
