　　Section C

2015年6月英語六級仔細閱讀模擬題（第一篇）

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

　　Passage One

　　Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

　　On the high-speed train from Avignon (阿維尼翁) to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books.

　　The woman produced a large makeup case and proceeded to freshen up. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, but never once did she catch my (admittedly fascinateD. eye. My husband and I could have been a blank wall.

　　I was amused, but some people would have felt insulted, even repulsed (厭惡的). There is something about primping in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it's a question of hygiene. (Nearly everyone agrees that nail-paling and hair-combing are socially considered unwise to do.) And it's a matter of degree.

　　Grooming--a private act--has a way of negating the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me, she was not with me.

　　In fact, I am generally inhibited from this maneuver in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics executives (when it's considered unpleasant not to do it) or my female friends when it's a fun just-us-girls moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would refrain.

　　Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and an authority on American beauty rituals, says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's. Deploring the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advised managers to discourage it among clerical workers. But how much time could it take? Certainly the concern was out of proportion with the number of minutes lost. Peiss theorizes that it was the blatant assertion.of a female practice in what had been an all-male province that disturbed critics.

　　Peiss tells me that after the 30's, pulling out a compact was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice.

　　I ask if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be "a gesture of inappropriate femininity. "

　　One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.

　　It's amazing to think that in our talk-show society, where every sexual practice is openly discussed, a simple sex-specific gesture could still have the power to disturb. The move belongs in the female arsenal and, like weapons, must be used with caution.

　　56. According to the author, "My husband and I could have been a blank wall. " (Line 6, Para. 1) most probably means“__________”.

　　A. We were treated with an expressionless face.

　　B. Welooked at theFrench woman expressionlessly.

　　C. We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.

　　D. We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.

　　57. In the author's opinion, she __________.

　　A. allows public making up on certain occasions

　　B. feels comfortbale when making up in public

　　C. only makes up on social occasions

　　D. makes up before any professional gatherings

　　58. According to Peiss, nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that __________.

　　A. normal office work was disturbed

　　B. it discouraged women' s interest in career

　　C. male dominance was emphasized there

　　D. it distracted male workers' focus on work

　　59. Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?

　　A. Because they are worried about being looked down upon.

　　B. Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations.

　　C. Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields.

　　D. Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males.

　　60. It can be inferred that in a highly open society,, the differences between men and women __________.

　　A. have attracted little attention

　　B. hinder the social development

　　C. are attractive topics in talk shows

　　D. still call for great concern

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

　　The United States has a major problem on its hands. True, Britain is facing a similar problem, but for the time being it is in America that it is graver. The only way to solve it is through education. Negroes (黑人) should know about the contributions that black individuals and groups have made towards building America. This is of vital importance for their self-respect; and it is perhaps even more important for white people to know. For if you believe that a man has no history worth mentioning, it is easy to assume that he has no value as a man.

　　Many people believe that, since the Negro's achievements do not appear in the history books, he did not have any. Most people are taken aback when they learn that Negroes sailed with Columbus, marched with the Spanish conquerors of South America and fought side by side with white Americans in all their wars. People are astonished when you tell them about Phillis Wheatley, who learned English as a salve in Boston and wrote first-class poetry.

　　They have never heard of Benjamin Banneker, a mathematician and a surveyor, who helped to plan the city of Washington. There has been a tendency all along to treat the black man as if he were invisible. Little has been written about the 5,000 American Negroes who fought in the Revolution against the British, but they were in every important battle. In the Anglo-American War of 1812, at least one out of every six men in the U.S. Navy was a Negro. In the Civil War, more than 200,000 black troops fought in the Union forces.

　　How, then, did the image of the Negro as a valiant fighting man disappear? To justify the hideous institution of slavery, slave-holders had to create the myth of the docile, slow-witted Negro, incapable of self-improvement,and even contented with his lot. Nothing could be further from the truth. The slave fought for his freedom at every chance he got, and there were numerous uprisings. Yet the myth of docility persisted.

　　There are several other areas where the truth has been twisted or concealed. Most people have heard of the Negro, Carver, who invented scores of new uses for the lowly peanut. But whoever heard of Norbert Rillieux, who in 1846 invented a vacuum pan that revolutionized the sugar-refining industry?Or of Elijah McCoy, who in 1872 invented the drip cup that feeds oil to the moving parts of heavy machinery? How many people know that Negroes are credited with inventing such different items as ice creams, potato chips, the gas mask and the first traffic light?

　　Not many.

　　As for the winning of the West, the black cowboy and the black frontiersman have been almost ignored,though film producers are becoming more aware of their importance. Yet in the typical trail crew of eight men that drove cattle from Texas to Kansas, at least two would have been Negroes. The black troops of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry formed one-fifth of all the mounted troops assigned to protect the frontier after the Civil War. "What difference does it make?" you may ask. A lot. The cowboy is the American folk-hero. Youngsters identify with him instantly. The average cowboy film is really a kind of morality play, with good guys and bad guys and right finally triumphing over wrong. You should see the amazement and happiness on black youngsters' faces when they learn that their ancestors really had a part in all that.

　　61. According to the passage, education on Negroes' contributions to America __________.

　　A. contributes to the blacks' confidence of their value

　　B. proves their achievements in building the country

　　C. is still a major task for curriculum education

　　D. will solve all the conflicts between black and white people

　　62. Although Benjamin Banneker dedicated a lot to his country, he__________.

　　A. remained a slave for his whole life

　　B. was despised by all the white designers

　　C. is not mentioned in history books

　　D. ignored his achievements and kept quiet as usual

　　63. Negroes' negative impressions on people__________.

　　A. derived from their acts

　　B. turned out to be wrong

　　C. were copied by slave-holders

　　D. were passed down for generations

　　64. According to the author, examples such as Rillieux and McCoy __________.

　　A. implied that black people are all talented

　　B. encouraged more blacks to make inventions

　　C. spurred the economic development at their times

　　D. proved Negroes' great talent in invention

　　65. Black youngsters are happy to see Negroes on the screen because they are __________ .

　　A. proud of their ancestors' participation in building up the image of heroic Americans

　　B. thrilled to see their ancestors riding side by side with American whites

　　C. excited to know blacks have the right to shoot a role in films

　　D. amazed to find their ancestors were as strong and charming as white people

　　Passage One

　　【參考譯文】

　　在從阿維尼翁通往巴黎的高速列車上，我和丈夫坐在列車唯一的空位上，這兩個座位在車廂中部，正對面是一位中年法國婦女。直視陌生人的眼睛是極為不舒服的。我和丈夫拿出書看了起來。那個女人則拿出一個大化妝包開始梳妝打扮起來。除了午餐休息外，她在整個三小時的旅途中，一直都在做這件事。時不時地，她會明眸一撇，掃視整個車廂，但她從來沒有與我視線相對(我得承認我的眼球被她吸引了)。[56]我和丈夫在她看來就像一堵空白的墻。

　　我覺得有趣，但有些人會覺得受到了侮辱，甚至會感到厭惡。在公共場合梳妝打扮總會喚起強烈的情緒反應。在一定程度上來說，這是個衛(wèi)生問題。(幾乎每個人都一致同意：在公共場合修指甲和梳頭被公認為是不明智的社會行為。)而且，這還是個程度問題。梳妝——一種私人行為——在某種程度上否定了他人的存在。有一次我參加一個聚會，坐在一個女模特演員的旁邊。她一坐下便立刻揮起一把傻里傻氣的刷子開始在餐桌上打粉。這一舉動表明雖然她人坐在我旁邊，[56]卻無視我的存在。

　　[57]實際上.在通常情況下，我不允許自己在公共場合化妝，除非身旁是美容經(jīng)理(這時.如果不化妝，就會使人不愉快)或者我的女性朋友(這是“只有女性”的歡樂時光)。如果在正式聚會而非社交場合。我會禁止自己在那種場合化妝。

　　麻省大學阿默斯特分校的歷史學教授及美國美學禮儀專家凱茜·佩斯說，20世紀20年代和30年代，在辦公室化妝是會激起民憤的。貿(mào)易雜志譴責這種行為浪費公司時間，并建議經(jīng)理阻止文職人員這么做。但是這會花多長時間呢?當然，這種擔憂與所浪費的時間是不成比例的。[58]佩斯從理論上說明了是這種在曾是男性專屬的領域里明目張膽地宣揚女性做法的行為讓批評家很不安。

　　佩斯告訴我在20世紀30年代以后，拿出一個小粉盒就不再是什么問題了。它已經(jīng)成為一種可以被接受的行為。我問她，在一次職場人士一起就餐的午餐上涂口紅，她是否會覺得自在。她聽后稍感震驚，說她不會這么做，她會過后在自己的私人汽車里涂。為什么呢?[59]因為這會是“一種過于女性化的表現(xiàn)”。有一種猜測認為大多數(shù)職業(yè)女性都是這么覺得的。有證據(jù)表明，有一種新口紅很受歡迎，它可以保持一整天，無需補妝。

　　[60]令人驚訝的是，想不到在我們這個每一樁風流韻事都被公開議論的“脫口秀”社會里.某一簡單的性別化的行為卻仍能令人不安。這種舉止應歸入女性“軍火庫”，因此就像武器一樣，使用時要謹慎。

　　【答案解析】

　　56.D

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞Line6，Para.1定位到第一段最后一句。

　　解析：要推斷該句意思需了解第一段的主要內(nèi)容。該段描述了一位法國婦女在火車上旁若無人地梳妝打扮的情形，因此坐在她對面的作者發(fā)表了這句感慨，由此可推斷D項符合原文意思。其實，第二段也出現(xiàn)了類似的在公共場合化妝的情況，末句提到“卻無視我的存在”，這也印證了正確答案為D。

　　57.A

　　定位：由各選項中都出現(xiàn)的關鍵詞makeup定位到第三段。

　　解析：該段講述作者對在公共場合化妝的態(tài)度。作者提到：“實際上，在通常情況下，我不允許自己在公共場合化妝。除非身旁是……如果在正式聚會而非社交場合，我會禁止自己在那種場合化妝。”顯然作者并非反對在所有公開場合下化妝，因此A符合文意，是正確答案。而C項中only表述過于絕對。

　　58.C

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞Peiss定位到第四段最后一句。

　　解析：本句佩斯分析了女性在辦公室化妝會遭批評的原因。該句說：“佩斯從理論上說明了是這種在曾是男性專屬的領域里明目張膽地宣揚女性做法的行為讓批評家很不安。”由此可見佩斯認為批評家評論女性在辦公室化妝，是因為他們認為辦公室應是男性統(tǒng)治的地盤�；瘖y這種女性化的做法讓他們不安，故C項是正確答案。

　　59.B

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞professional women和lipsticks定位到第五段第三句。

　　解析：題干問職業(yè)女性在公眾場合放棄使用口紅的原因。第三句提到了口紅，接著第六句進行了解釋，說“因為這會是‘一種過于女性化的表現(xiàn)”’。由此可見在公共場合，職業(yè)女性不應過于女性化，故B項是正確答案。

　　60.D

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞a highly open society定位到最后一段第一句。

　　解析：該句提到，令人驚訝的是，想不到在我們這個每一樁風流韻事都被公開議論的“脫口秀”社會里，某一簡單的性別化的行為卻仍能令人不安。每一樁風流韻事都被公開議論的社會已然高度開放了，但是在這種社會里男女有別的話題仍被人們所注意。原文中have the power to disturb與D項中call for greatconcem呼應，故D項為正確答案。

　　Passage Two

　　【參考譯文】

　　美國目前存在一個重大問題。的確，英國也正面臨相似的問題，但目前，這個問題在美國更為嚴重。

　　[61]解決這個問題的唯一途徑是教育。黑人應該知道黑人個體以及團體在建設美國的過程中所做的貢獻。這對于他們的自尊心至關重要,而且讓白人知道這件奎或許更為重要。因為如果你認為一個人沒有值得一提的歷史的話。就會很容易斷定他毫無作為人而存在的價值。

　　[62]很多人都認為，既然黑人所取得的成就沒有出現(xiàn)在歷史書里，那么，他們就沒有任何成就。當?shù)弥谌嗽c哥倫布一道航行，與征服南美洲的西班牙人一起行軍，同美國白人在所有戰(zhàn)爭中并肩作戰(zhàn)時，大多數(shù)人都被嚇了一跳。當人們得知菲莉絲·惠特利在波士頓做奴隸時學會了英文并寫出了一流的詩歌時，他們都大為吃驚。[62]他們從未聽說過本杰明·班納克，這位數(shù)學家兼測量員幫助規(guī)劃了華盛頓市。一直以來都有一種傾向，就是將黑人視為隱形人。有關5000位美國黑人在大革命中與英國作戰(zhàn)的歷史鮮有記載，然而，每一場重要的戰(zhàn)役他們都參加了。在1812年英美戰(zhàn)爭中，美國海軍每六個人中至少有一個是黑人。在美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)中，擁有20多萬人的黑人部隊在聯(lián)邦軍隊中作戰(zhàn)。

　　那么，黑人作為英勇戰(zhàn)士的這一形象是如何消失的呢?[63]為了要給丑惡的奴隸制度正名.奴隸主就得塑造出順從、笨拙、無法自我完善且安于天命的不實的黑人形象。沒有什么比這更加離譜的了。黑人奴隸一有機會就為其自由而戰(zhàn)，并發(fā)起了無數(shù)次的起義。然而，有關黑人順從的謊言依然存在。在其他幾個方面，真理也被扭曲或掩蓋了。大多數(shù)人都聽說過為普通的花生發(fā)明出許多新用途的黑人卡弗。[64]然而，有誰聽說過諾伯特·瑞利克斯?他在1846年發(fā)明了真空鍋，給制糖業(yè)帶來了革命。又有誰聽說過伊萊賈·麥科伊?他在1872年發(fā)明了可以把汽油灌輸?shù)街匦蜋C械活動部件的滴水杯。又有多少人知道是黑人發(fā)明了各種各樣諸如冰激凌、炸土豆片、防毒面具以及第一盞交通信號燈等物品?并沒有多少人。

　　至于西部擴張勝利這件事，黑人牛仔及黑人拓荒者幾乎都被忽視了，盡管電影制片人越來越意識到他們的重要性。然而在把牲畜從得克薩斯州趕往堪薩斯州的典型的八人馱運隊中，至少有兩人是黑人。第九和第十騎兵部隊的黑人軍隊占內(nèi)戰(zhàn)后被分配去保護邊疆的所有騎兵部隊的五分之一。你可能會問：“這又有什么關系呢?”有很大關系。牛仔是美國的民族英雄。年輕人很容易對牛仔產(chǎn)生認同感。普通的牛仔電影真的是一種道德�。河泻萌�，有壞人，而最終正義打敗了邪惡。[65]你們真該看看黑人青年在得知他們的祖先的確對所有這一切做過貢獻時，臉上所露出的驚異和幸福的神色。

　　【答案解析】

　　61.A

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞education和Negroes’contributions定位到第一段第三至第五句。

　　解析：這三句在談論黑人對美國的貢獻時說：“解決這個問題的唯一途徑是教育。黑人應該知道黑人個體以及團體在建設美國的過程中所做的貢獻。這對于他們的自尊心至關重要……”其中，“對于他們的自尊心至關重要”解釋了為什么需要教育黑人，讓他們知道黑人曾對美國做出了貢獻。A項中confidence oftheirvalue是原文中their self-respect的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，由此可見A項符合文意，故為答案。

　　62.C

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞Benjamin Banneker定位到第二段第四句。

　　解析：首句是本段的主題句，指出：“很多人都認為，既然黑人所取得的成就沒有出現(xiàn)在歷史書里，那么。他們就沒有任何成就。”接著在第四句以Benjamin Banneker為例，指出：“他們從未聽說過本杰明·班納克，這位數(shù)學家兼測量員幫助規(guī)劃了華盛頓市。”由此可見，他不為人知的原因是歷史書中未提及，故C項為正確答案。

　　63.B

　　定位：根據(jù)題千信息詞negative impressions定位到第三段第二句。

　　解析：由本句可知：“為了要給丑惡的奴隸制度正名，奴隸主就得塑造出順從、笨拙、無法自我完善且安于天命的不實的黑人形象。”由此可知，有關黑人順從、笨拙等的負面印象是由奴隸主編造出來的，這種印象是錯誤的。故B項符合文意，為答案。

　　64.D

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞RiUieux和McCoy定位到第四段第三和第四句。

　　解析：該段以黑人的各種發(fā)明成果例證了黑人在發(fā)明方面的創(chuàng)造力。第三、四句具體講述了題干中兩位黑人的發(fā)明成果。本段多次使用了invent的各種詞性，突出了黑人在發(fā)明創(chuàng)造方面的才能。故D項符合文意，為正確答案。

　　65.A

　　定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞black youngsters定位到最后一段。

　　解析：從最后一段可知，電影中的牛仔都是白人，因此黑人牛仔被忽視了。黑人青年樂于在屏幕上看到他們的祖先也同樣是極具傳奇英雄色彩的美國牛仔，原因是他們對其祖先曾做過的貢獻感到自豪，A項與文意相符。故為答案。
