大學(xué)英語六級(jí)閱讀理解測(cè)試題
篇一：
Questions 61 to 65 are based oil the following passage.
Uke a tired marriage.the relationship between libraries and publishers has long beenreassuringly dull.E—books，however，are causing heartache.
Libraries know they need digital wares if they are to remain relevant，but many publishersare too careful about piracy and lost sales to c0.operate.Among the big six.only Random
House and HarperCollins license e-books with most libraries.The others have either deniedrequests or are reluctantly experimenting.
Publishers are wise to be nervous.Owners of e.readers are exactly the customers theyneed：book—lovers with money-neither the devices nor broadband connections come cheap.Ifthese wonderful people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them，what then?
Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.Unlike printed books.which must be checkedout and
returned to a physical library miles from where you live，book files can be downloaded athome.Digital library catalogues are often browsed at night.from a comfortable sofa.The filesdisappear from the device when they are due.
Awkwardly for publishers，buying an e—book costs more than renting one but offers littleextra value.
You cannot resell it。lend it to a friend or burn it to stay warm.Owning a book is useful ifyou want to savor(品嘗)it repeatedly，but who reads“Fifty Shades of Grey”twice?
E-1ending is not simple.however.There are lots of different and often incompatible e-book formats，devices and licences.Most libraries use a company called Over Drive，a globaldistributor that secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in everyformat.Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drive’s market dominance，as thecompany can increasingly dictate fees and conditions.
Library boosters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers，and that libraries arevital spaces for readers to discover new work.Many were.cheered by a recent Pewsurvey，which found that more than half of Americans with Horary cards say they prefer to buytheir e-books.But the report also noted that few people know that e-books are available atmost libraries，and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists，which may be whatinspires people to buy.
So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in：search of the rightbalance.Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year，and Harper Collins limitslibraries to lending its titles 26 times.
Hachita is engaged in some secret experiments，and the others are watching with heldbreath.In Britain the government will soon announce a review of the matter.The story of thelibrary e-book is a nail-biter.

參考答案
61.D)。本題考查對(duì)文章第一段的理解。定位句指出，在六大出版商中，只有蘭登書屋和哈珀科林斯出版集團(tuán)將電子書授權(quán)給了大多數(shù)圖書館，其他出版商有的表示拒絕，有的則在勉強(qiáng)試探當(dāng)中，故答案為D)。

篇二：
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the followingpassage.
A study of nearly 140,000 women in the U. S.showed that regular helpings of a small portion ofnuts can have a powerful protective effect against adisease that is threatening to become a globalepidemic. Women who consumed a 28 gram packet of walnuts at least twice a week were 24per cent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who rarely or never ate them. Eatingwalnuts just two or three times a week can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by almost aquarter.
The latest findings, published in the Journal of Nutrition, are not the first to highlight theanti-diabetic effects of walnuts, with earlier research showing similar benefits. However, this isthought to be one of the largest studies to fmd regularly snarling on them can help preventthe condition. Although the latest research was carried out on female nurses, it's likely that thesame benefits apply to men.
According to the charity Diabetes UK, at the current rate of increase, the numbersaffected by type 2 diabetes in the UK will rise from around 2.5 million currently to four millionby 2025 and five million by 2030. Left untreated, it can raise the risk of heart attacks,blindness and amputation (截肢). Being overweight, physically inactive and having a poor dietare major risk factors for the disease.
Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, U. S. , tracked 137,893 nursesaged from 35 to 77 over a ten year period to see how many developed type 2 diabetes. Theirdietary habits were closely monitored, including details on how often they ate nuts, particularlywalnuts. After allowing for body fat and weight, the researchers found eating walnuts one tothree times a month reduced the risk by four per cent, once a week by 13 per cent and at leasttwice a week by 24 per cent.
In a report on the findings the researchers said: "These results suggest higher walnutconsumption is associated with a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes in women: "Walnuts are rich in healthy fatty acids(脂肪酸)which have been shown to reduce inflammation(炎癥) in the body and protect against heart disease, cancer and arthritis(關(guān)節(jié)炎). Last year,experts at the University of California Los Angeles also found young men in their twenties andthirties who ate walnuts every day increased their sperm count and boosted their fertility.
The research comes just after a Louisiana State University study which showed that eatingnuts can reduce people's risk of obesity. The study found that those who consumed varietiessuch as almonds and pistachios(開心果) demonstrated a lower body weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference compared to non-consumers. They were also at lower risk ofdeveloping heart disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

C) Diet and exercise may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

57.C)。本題考查對(duì)刊登在《營(yíng)養(yǎng)期刊》雜志上的最新研究的理解。定位句提到“刊登在《營(yíng)養(yǎng)期刊》雜志上的最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)并非是首次強(qiáng)調(diào)核桃對(duì)糖尿病有預(yù)防功效的研究，之前早就有研究表明核桃有類似功效”，C)“強(qiáng)調(diào)核桃對(duì)糖尿病有預(yù)防功效”中的emphasize對(duì)應(yīng)原文的highlight，故為答案。
58.C)。本題考查2型糖尿病的誘導(dǎo)原因。定位句提到“體重超重、不鍛煉身體、不良飲食習(xí)慣是糖尿病的主要風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素。”由此可推知，鍛煉身體、良好的飲食習(xí)慣可降低患糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，故C)為答案。
