2013年6月英语六级完形填空原文

2013年6月英语六级完形填空原文+答案+解析The continuous presentation of scary stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it __62__ our kids.

Al Gore famously __63__ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, __64__the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, __65__ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.

When __66__ with these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely __67__ is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on tackling climate change.

This __68__ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying __69__ about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, __70 __, on global warming's impact on malaria (疟疾)-which will put slightly more people at __71__ in 100 years - instead of tackling the half a billion people __72__from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.

__73__ also wears out the public's willingness to tackle global warming. If the planet is __74__, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A __75__ of people now believe – incorrectly – that global warming is not even caused by humans.

But the __76__ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes –particularly __77__ children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal __78__ from global warming.

The newspaper also reported that parents are __79__ "productive" outlets for their eight-year-olds' obsessions (忧心忡忡) with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, contrary __80__ common belief,

the global polar bear population has doubled and perhaps even quadrupled (成为四倍) over the past half- century, to about 22,000. __81__ diminishing - and eventually disappearing - summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.

【总评】

本文选自2009年6月15日英国卫报里面的一篇报道，讲述了夸大气候变暖引起了一些不必要的惊慌的现象。

【答案及解析】

62. C. terrifies 考查动词辨析。exhaust 表示“使筋疲力尽，用尽”;suppress表示“镇压，抑制”;terrify 表示“使惊吓”;disgust表示“使反感”。前文表明关于气候变暖的惊悚报道让我们感到恐惧，更糟糕的是，它吓到了我们的孩子们。

63. D. depicted考查动词辨析。dismiss表示“开除，解散”;distract表示“使分心，分散”;deposit表示“储蓄，寄存”;depict表示“描绘，描述”。

64. B. even though 考查连词。题考查考生对上下句关系的理解，上半句Al Gore讲述海平面上升20英尺会几乎完全淹没佛罗里达、纽约、荷兰和上海，后半句讲联合国说这种事不会发生，由此可见前后句是转折的关系，所以用even though，表示“尽管”;而as if 表示“似乎”;in that表示“因为”;in case表示“以防”。

65. C. estimating 考查动词。measure表示“测量，估量”;signify表示“意味，预示”;estimate表示“估计，预测”;extract表示“提取”。空格所在的句子说联合国认为淹没事件不会发生，同时预测海平面只会上升20英尺的二十分之一。

66. A. Confronted 考查动词。be confronted with…为固定短语，表示“面临(困难、危险等)”。

67. B. there 考查there be句型。由句中的连词and可知前后必须都是句子，表示某个现象或东西存在用there be句型。

68. C. argument 考查名词。morality表示“道德，伦理”;interaction表示“相互沟通，相互作用”;argument表示“争论，辩论”;dialogue表示“对话”;文章前面两段都是在讲Al Gore与联合国不同的观点，因此这里填争论。

69. D. excessively 考查副词辨析。prevalently表示“流行地，普遍地”;predictably 表示“可预言地”;expressively表示“意味深长地”;excessively表示“过度地，极度”。本句表达的意思是过度担心气候变暖意味着我们担心的其它事情会变少，而在这些事情上我们本可以做得更好。

70. A. for example 考查固定短语。for example表示“例如”;in addition表示“另外，除此之外”;by contrast表示“相比之下”;in short表示“总之”;从上下文我们可以看出这句话是举例子，所以用for example。

71. D. risk 考查固定短语。该题较为简单，at risk为固定短语，表示“有危险”。

72. A. suffering 考查动词。suffer from表示“遭受;患……病”。

73. C. Exaggeration 考查名词辨析。explanation表示“解释”;reservation表示“预约;预定”;exaggeration 表示“夸张”;revelation表示“启示”。本题显然承接上文提到的人们对于全球气候变暖这个问题过度夸张的情况。

74. D. doomed 考查形容词辨析。dumped表示“废弃的”; dimmed表示“暗灰色的”;doubled 表示“两倍的”;doomed表示“注定的;命定的”。这里表示人们假设如果地球的命运是注定好的，也就是说如果全球变暖这个问题是注定了的话，那么就不需要做任何事情来拯救，

因为做了也没有用。

75. B.majority 考查名词辨析。a majority of 表示“大多数的;mixture表示“混合”;quantity表示“质量”;quota表示“配额;限额”。

76. B. worst 考查形容词辨析。前面文章一直在讲夸大全球变暖问题所带来的坏处，这里是作者想强调的最坏的代价，所以用worst。

77. A. among 考查介词辨析。among表示“三者或三者以上之间”，among children表示“在孩子们当中”。

78. D. extinction 考查名词辨析。separation表示“分离，分开”;sanction表示“制裁，处罚”;isolation表示“隔离，孤立”;extinction 表示“灭绝”。全球变暖只有可能会造成大量动物的灭绝，其他选项均不恰当。

79. C. searching for 考查词组辨析。turn out 表示“生产;结果是”;tide over表示“克服，度过”;search for表示“寻找，搜索”;pull through表示“克服困难，渡过难关”。这里是说有些小孩子担心北极熊会灭绝，而这种担心显然对于他们来说是多余的，所以一些家长会寻找一些其他的东西来转移孩子们的注意力。

80. B. to 考查介词辨析。contrary to为固定搭配，表示“与……相反”。

81. A. Despite 考查介词辨析。despite表示“尽管”，后面一般跟doing;besides表示“此外，而且”;regardless of 表示“尽管，不管”;except表示“除……之外”。

2013年6月英语六级真题及答案（文都版） Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Question 47 to 51 are based on the following passage often assumed musical Highly proficient musicianship is hard won. Although it’s evidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems ability us inherited, there’s abundant that at birth virtually everyone has perfect pitch, the reasons that one child is better than another are motivation and practice. Highly musical children were sung to more as infants and more encouraged to join in song games as kids than less musical ones, long before any musical ability could have been evident. Studies of classical musicians prove that the best ones practiced considerably more from childhood onwards than ordinary orchestral players, and this is because their parents were at them to put in the hours from a very young age. The same was true of children selected for entry to specialist music schools, compared with those who were rejected. The chosen children had parents who had very actively supervised music lessons and daily practice from young ages, giving up substantial periods of leisure time to take the children to lessons and concerts. The singer Michael Jackson’s story, although unusually brutal and extreme, is illumination when considering musical prodigy(天才). Accounts suggest that he was subjected to cruel beatings and emotional torture ,and that he was humiliated (羞辱) constantly by his father, What sets Jackson’s family apart is that his father used his reign of terror to train his children as musicians and dancers. On top of his extra ability Michael also had more drive. This may have been the result of being the closest of his brothers and sisters to his mother. “He seemed other said of him. She different to me from the other children —special,”Michael’s m may not have realized that treating her son as special may have been part of the reason be became like that.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. Some performance evaluations require supervisors to take action. Employees who receive a very favorable evaluation may deserve some type of recognition or even a promotion. If supervisors do not acknowledge such outstanding performance, employees may either lose their36 and reduce their effort or search for a new job at a firm that will37 them for high performance.

Supervisors must 38 the reasons for poor performance. Some reasons, such as a family illness, may have a temporary adverse 39 on performance and can be corrected. Other reasons, such as a bad attitude, may not be temporary. When supervisors give employees an unfavorable evaluation, they must decide whether to take any 40 actions. If the employees were unaware of their own deficiencies, the unfavorable evaluation can pinpoint(指出) the deficiencies that employees must correct. In this case, the supervisor may simply need to monitor the employees 41 and ensure that the deficiencies are corrected. If the employees were already aware of their deficiencies before the evaluation period, however, they may be unable or unwilling to correct them. This situation is more serious, and the supervisor may need to take action. The action should be 42 with the firm?s guidelines and may include reassigning the employees to new jobs, 43 them temporarily, or firing them.

The College Essay: Why Those 500 Words Drive Us Crazy A) Meg is a lawyer-mom in suburban Washington, D.C., where lawyer-moms are thick on the ground. Her son Doug is one of several hundred thousand high-school seniors who had a painful fall. The deadline for applying to his favorite college was Nov. 1,and by early October he had yet to fill out the application. More to the point, he had yet to settle on a subject for the personal essay accompanying the application. According to college folklore, a well-turned essay has the power to seduce (诱惑) an admissions co mmittee. “He wanted to do one thing at a time,”Meg says, explaining her son?s delay. “But really, my son is a huge procrastinator (拖延者). The essay is the hardest thing to do, so he?s put it off the longest.” Friends and other veterans of the process have warned Meg that the back and forth between editing parent and writing student can be traumatic (痛苦的).

A Nation That's Losing Its Toolbox The scene inside the Home Depot on Weyman Avenue here would give the old-time American craftsman pause. In Aisle 34 is precut plastic flooring, the glue already in place. In Aisle 26 are prefabricated windows. Stacked near the checkout counters, and as colorful as a Fisher-Price toy, is a not-so-serious-looking power tool: a battery-operated saw-and-drill combination. And if you don't want to do it yourself, head to Aisle 23 or Aisle 35, where a help desk will arrange for an installer. It's all very handy stuff, I guess, a convenient way to be a do-it-yourselfer without being all that good with tools. But at a time when the American factory seems to be a shrinking presence, and when good manufacturing jobs have vanished, perhaps never to return, there is something deeply troubling about this dilution of American craftsmanship. This isn't a lament (伤感) - or not merely a lament - for bygone times. It's a social and cultural issue, as well as an economic one. The Home Depot approach to craftsmanship -

In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers.

Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.
