12月英語六級快速閱讀試題 1
About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.
1. Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because______.
A. the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B. the painters were animal lovers
C. the painters wanted to show imagination
D. the pictures were thought to be helpful
2. The Greek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that______.
A. the former was easy to write
B. there were fewer signs in the former
C. the former was easy to pronounce
D. each sign stood for only one sound
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet.
B. The Egyptians liked to write comic strip stories.
C. The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.
D. The Greeks copied their writing system from the Egyptians.
4. In the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures ______.
A. should be made comprehensible
B. should be made interesting
C. are of much use in our life
D. have disappeared from our life
參考答案
1. [D] 根據(jù)文章第 一段第五行“Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.”可知古代人以為在墻上畫畫會對他們有所幫助,故選項D為正確答案。
2. [C] 在做此類題時要注意題干的要求。通過閱讀文章第四段很清楚就知道選項C “前者容易發(fā)音”在文中沒有提及,故為正確答案。
12月英語六級快速閱讀試題 2
It is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidence of the depressing state of literacy. These figures from the Department of Education are sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all. and a further 35million read al a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society.
But my own worry today is fess that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literacy than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence. those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading. n has been suggested that almost 80 percent of Americas literate, educated teenagers can no longer read without an accompanying noise (music) in the background or a television screen flickering (閃爍) at the corner of their field of perception. We know very little about the brain and how it deals with simultaneous conflicting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration} silence, solitude (獨處的狀態(tài)) goes tothe very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part-reading, of part-perception against background distraction renders impossible certain essential acts of apprehension and concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain. by heart; the expression is vital.
Under these circumstances. the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a real one. Ahead of us lie technical. psychic(心理的). and social transformations probably much more dramatic than thosebrought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. The Gutenberg revolution. as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are still being debated. The information revolution will touch every fact ofcomposition. publication. distribution. and reading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will
happen to the book as weve known it.
1. The picture of the reading ability of the American people, drawn by the author, is__________.
A) rather bleak
B) fairly bright
C) very impressive
D) quite encouraging
2. The authors biggest concern is____________________.
A) elementary school children’s disinterest in reading classics
B) the surprisingly low rate of literacy in the U.S.
C) the musical setting American readers require for reading
D) the reading ability and reading behavior of the middle class
3. A major problem with most adolescents who can read is________________.
A) their fondness of music and TV programs
B) their ignorance of various forms of art and literature
C) their lack of attentiveness and basic understanding
D) their inability to focus on conflicting input
4. The author claims that the best way a reader can show admiration for a piece of poetry or prose is ___________________.
A) to be able to appreciate it and memorize it
B) to analyze its essential features
C) to think it over conscientiously
D) to make a fair appraisal of its artistic value
5. About the future of the arts of reading the author feels___________.

B) uncertain
C) alarmed
D) pessimistic
答案:
1.作者描繪的美國人的閱讀能力的畫面是_________。
A) 很暗淡的
B) 很明亮的
C) 令人印象深刻
D)非常具有鼓舞性
[A]根據(jù)文章第1段第1句“我無需舉例說明那種令人沮喪的受教育狀況”。句中depressing的意思與bleak相近,由此可推斷作者描繪的這幅畫面是相當黯淡的。
2.作者最大的擔心是_____________。
A) 小學生對閱讀課不感興趣
B)美國的文盲率出奇地高
C) 美國人閱讀的時候需要有背景音樂
D) 中產(chǎn)階級的閱讀能力和閱讀行為
[D]根據(jù)文章第2段第1句“目前我擔心的倒不是基本文化水平這個大問題,而是一個較為奢侈的問題,即美國中產(chǎn)階級讀者閱讀藝術的衰退,即使是中級的讀者也不愿意在寂靜無聲的空間里,放下家庭事務,付出時間全神貫注地進行經(jīng)典性的閱讀”,因此,只有D才與文中所陳述的意恩相符。
3.有閱讀能力的大多數(shù)青少年的一個主要問題是___________。
A) 他們喜歡音樂和電視節(jié)目
B) 他們對藝術和文學多種多樣的形式一無所知
C) 他們?nèi)狈ψ⒁饬突A的知識
D) 他們不能專注于相互沖突的內(nèi)容
[C]在第2段第2句和倒數(shù)第二句作者提到“大約80%的有文化、受過教育的十幾歲的年輕人沒有背景音樂和閃爍的電視屏幕的陪伴就無法閱讀”和“而這種邊閱讀邊在背景的干涉下進行理解的.新方法使人們不可能對所閱讀的東西全神貫注地加以理解”,由此可推斷只有C是正確的。
4.作者聲稱,讀者展示對詩歌或散文青睞的最好的方法就是_______________。
A) 能夠理解并記得住
B) 分析其最根本的特點
C) 有意識地深刻理解它
D) 對其藝術價值作出公平的評價
[A]根據(jù)文章第2段倒數(shù)第二句“更不用說將散文或詩歌,不是用腦。而是用心背下來,這是人們欣賞他們所喜歡的詩歌或散文的最好的方式”,因此A與作者所表述的觀點一致,因而正確。
5.對于閱讀藝術的未來,作者感到__________。
A) 沮喪
B) 不確定
C) 警覺
D) 悲觀
[B]在第3段第1句,作者寫道“在這種情況下,閱讀藝術的將來確實是一個真正的大問題”,在最后一句。作者又提到“圖書界沒有人能充滿信心地預言到底會發(fā)生什么情況”,因此可推斷,作者對閱讀藝術的將來感到難以把握。故B與文章所陳述的觀點一致。
3. [A] 可用排除法來做本題。通過閱讀文章很清楚選項B和D為錯誤陳述。選項C “羅馬字母是從埃及字母發(fā)展而來的”根據(jù)文章第四段第四,五句可知為錯誤論述,因此只有選項A為正確答案。
4. [C] 文章最后一段講述了圖畫在今天的用途,故選項C為正確答案。
