12月英語六級仔細閱讀突破習題1
Questions1to5are based on the following passage.
The "paperless office" has earned a proud place on lists of technological promises that did not come to pass. Surely, though, the more modest goal of he carbon-paperless office is within the reach of mankind? Carbon paper allows two copies of a document to be made at once. Nowadays, a couple of keystrokes can do the same thing with a lot less fuss.
Yet carbon paper persists. Forms still need to be filled out in a way that produces copies. This should not come as a surprise. Innovation tends to create new niches( 合適的職業(yè)), rather than refill those that already exist. So technologies may become marginal, but they rarely go extinct. And today the little niches in which old technologies take refuge are ever more viable and accessible, thanks to the Internet and the fact that production no longer needs to be so mass; making small numbers of obscure items is growing easier.
On top of that, a widespread Technology of nostalgia(技術(shù)懷舊 ) seeks to preserve all the ways people have ever done anything, simply because they are kind of neat. As a result technologies from all the way back to the stone age persist and even flourish in the modern world. According to What Technology Wants, a book by Kevin Kelly, one of the founders of Wired magazine, America's flintknappers (燧石) produce over a million new arrow and spear heads every year. One of the things technology wants, it seems, is to survive.
Carbon paper, to the extent that it may have a desire for self-preservation, may also take comfort in the fact that, for all that this is a digital age, many similar products are hanging on, and even making comebacks. Indeed, digital technologies may prove to be more transient than their predecessors. They are based on the idea that the medium on which a file's constituent 0s and 1s are stored doesn't matter, and on Alan Turing's insight that any computer can mimic any other, given memory enough and time. This suggests that new digital technologies should be able to wipe out their predecessors completely. And early digital technologies do seem to be vanishing. The music cassette is enjoying a little renaissance, its very faithlessness apparently part of its charm; but digital audio tape seems doomed.
So revolutionary digital technologies may yet discard older ones to the dustbin. Perhaps this will be the case with a remarkable breakthrough in molecular(分子的) technology that could, in principle, store all the data ever recorded in a device that could fit in the back of a van. In this instance, it would not be a matter of the new extinguishing the old. Though it may never have been used for MP3s and PDFs before, DNA has been storing data for over three billion years. And it shows no sign of going extinct.
1. Which of the following is TRUE about the carbon paper?
A) It is the key to paperless office.
B) It will be replaced by the computer soon.
C) It is more troublesome than the computer.
D) It can hardly survive in the digital age.
2. According to the passage, "viable" ( Line 4, Para. 2) means __
A) secure
B) dynamic
C) feasible
D) flexible
3. Why does the author mention the example of What Technology Wants by Kevin Kelly?
A) To point out that old Technology of nostalgia will flourish in the modern world.
B) To illustrate the importance of flintknappers.
C) To show that flintknapping is one of the stone age technologies.
D) To prove that old technologies seemingly never die.
4. What can be inferred about digital technologies?
A) Digital audio tape will be vanished because of its accuracy.
B) Digital technologies have been proved to outlive the old technologies.
C) Early digital technologies will never go extinct.
D) The future of digital technologies will be used for DNA research.
5 The passage mainly concerned with
A) the difficulty of the realization of paperless office
B) the fact that newest technologies may die out while the oldest survive
C) the reason why old technologies will never be on the edge of extinction
D) the importance of keeping improving technologies all the time
答案與解析：
1.C)。定位 由題干中的carbon paper 定位到第一段最后兩句：Carbon paper allows two copies of a document to be made at once. Nowadays, a couple of keystrokes can do the same thing with a lot less fuss.
詳解 事實細節(jié)題。本題考查對復寫紙的理解。由定位句“復寫紙可迅速地把一份文件印出兩份復件。如今，敲幾下鍵盤就可以做到同樣的事情，而且還省去了不少麻煩”可知，復寫紙使用起來要比計算機麻煩，故答案為C)。A)“復寫紙是無紙化辦公的關(guān)鍵”和B)“復寫紙很快會被計算機所取代”均未在原文提及，故排除;第二段第一句指出“復寫紙依舊存在著”，而非D)“復寫紙在數(shù)字時代很難存活”，故排除。
2.C)。詳解 由題干提示定位到第二段末句：And today the little niches in which old technologies take refuge are ever more viable and accessible，thanks to the Internet and the fact that production no longer needs to be so mass：making small numbers of obscure items is growing easier.
詳解 語義理解題。本題考查“viable”的詞意。定位句提到“現(xiàn)如今，由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)以及不再需要大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)這一事實，那些古老技術(shù)賴以延續(xù)的微小職業(yè)正變得越來越容易存活并且容易入門”，根據(jù)上下文可推斷出，viable應(yīng)與accessible為同一語義場，即“可行的，易存活的”，故正確答案為C)。A)secure“安全的”、B)dynamic“活力的”和D)flexible“靈活的”均不符合題意.故排除。
3.D)。詳解 根據(jù)題干What Technology Wants和Kevin Kelly定位到第三段倒數(shù)第一、二句：According to What Technology Wants，a book by Kevin Kelly，one of the founders of Wired magazine，America's flintknappers produce over a million new arrow and spear heads every year.One of the things technology wants，it seems，is to survive.
詳解 事實細節(jié)題。本題考查作者以凱文·凱利所著《技術(shù)想要什么》為例的目的。定位句提到“《連線》雜志創(chuàng)始人之一凱文·凱利在其《技術(shù)想要什么》一書中稱，美國的燧石工每年生產(chǎn)超過100萬支新箭頭和矛頭，技術(shù)所想露的事情之一似乎就是存活下去�！倍髡咴诙ㄎ痪淝耙痪渲赋觥八裕瑥氖鲿r代以來的技術(shù)得以存在，甚至在現(xiàn)代世界興盛起來�！惫时疚淖髡咭詣P文·凱利所著《技術(shù)想要什么》為例旨在證明舊技術(shù)似乎永遠都不會消亡，故D)為答案。A)“旨在指出舊技術(shù)在現(xiàn)代社會將興盛起來”為過度推斷，故排除;B)“旨在說明燧石工的重要性”和C)“旨在說明燧石是石器時代以來的一門舊技術(shù)”均為對原文的曲解，故排除。
4.A)。詳解 由題干中的digital technologies定位到倒數(shù)第二段最后兩句：And early digital technologies do seem to be vanishing.The music cassette is enjoying a little renaissance，its very faithlessness apparently part of its charm;but digtal audio tape seems doomed.
詳解 推理判斷題。本題考查對數(shù)字技術(shù)的理解。由定位句可知“音樂磁帶正悄然成為復興的潮流，失真特質(zhì)似乎正是其魅力的一部分;但數(shù)字錄音帶似乎難逃消亡厄運”，由此可推出，數(shù)字錄音帶似乎難逃消亡厄運是由于其保真，可被復制，故答案為A)。該段第二句指出“事實上，數(shù)字技術(shù)的存在時間可能比之前的技術(shù)更加短暫”，而非存活得更久，故排除B)“數(shù)字技術(shù)要比老的技術(shù)存活得更久”;C)“早期的數(shù)字技術(shù)永遠都不會滅絕”與該段倒數(shù)第二句“早期的數(shù)字技術(shù)似乎的確正在消失”不符，故排除;D)“數(shù)字技術(shù)在未來會被應(yīng)用于DNA研究”原文并未提及，故排除。
5.B)。詳解 本題考查全文主旨，應(yīng)對全文進行整體把握。詳解 主旨大意題。文章以復寫紙為例說明舊技術(shù)不會消亡，接下來論證其原因，最后表明最新的技術(shù)看起來最有可能消失;而最古老的技術(shù)有可能一直與我們相伴，故答案為B)。A)“無紙辦公室實現(xiàn)的困難性”僅在文中第一段提及，故排除;C)“為什么舊技術(shù)永遠不會消亡”僅在文中第二、三段涉及，故排除;D)“不斷更新技術(shù)的重要性”是對原文的曲解，故排除。

The food irradiation process is a simple one. The new U.S. plant, Vindicator of Florida Incorporated in Mulberry, Fla., uses a material called cobalt 60 to irradiate food. Cobalt 60 is radioactive isotope (form) of the metallic element cobalt. Cobalt 60, which gives off radiation in the form of gamma rays, is also used for radiation therapy for cancer patients and for sterilizing hospital equipment. The radioactive isotope is created by bombarding cobalt with subatomic particles in a nuclear reactor. However, irradiation plants do not themselves contain nuclear reactors.
In the irradiation plant, food is exposed to thin rods of cobalt 60. The rods give off gamma rays, which disrupt chemical processes in contaminating organisms. The disruption breaks down the cell walls of organisms or destroys their genetic material. The dose, set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is enough to kill organisms on food, but not enough to produce significant changes in the food itself.
Although irradiation slightly decreases the nutritive value of foods, the loss is less than that produced by some other methods of food preservation. Canning, for example, results in a much greater loss of nutrients.
Those who object to irradiation say that the process may create substances not found in nonirradiated food. Since the 1960’s researchers have studied irradiated food at microscopic levels to try to find such substances, called unique radiolytic products. After reviewing these studies, the FDA determined that compounds formed during irradiation are similar to substance found in nonirradiated foods and are not dangerous to consume.
Destruction of microorganisms that cause illness is an important goal of irradiation. About 250 million cases of food poisoning or 1 per person—occur every year in the U.S., according to FDA estimates. Food poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache—and, occasionally, death.
Because of the apparent safety of food irradiation, and the problems presented by contaminated food, scientific groups—including the American Medical Association, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations food and Agriculture Association—have voiced nearly universal support for the process. Worldwide, 38 nations have approved irradiation for 355 products.
Like microwave ovens, food irradiation has aroused apprehension and misunderstanding. Yet it has been scrutinized more thoroughly than other methods of food treatment that we have come to regard as safe, and it appears to be a method whose time has come.
1.Cobalt 60, besides irradiating food, is also employed to ___.
A.detect metallic flaws
B.run a nuclear reactor
C.cure cancer patients
D.strengthen concrete walls
2.Gamma rays used to irradiate food ___.
A.are generally not strong enough to destroy contaminating organisms
B.do not bring about significant changes in the food itself
C.may destroy some of the nutrients in the food
D.should be submitted to FDA for approval
3.Irradiated food ___.
A.certainly loses its nutritive value
B.maintains its nutritive value no different from the nonirradiated
C.keeps its nutritive value better than canned food
D.is recommended as the best of all preserved foods
4.With cases of food poisoning increasing, ___.
A.food irradiation should be carried out with care
B.it is more urgent to irradiate foods
C.medical researches into treatment of the diseased should be strengthened
D.Americans are beginning to accept food irradiation
5.The passage may be taken from ___.
A.a news report
B.a textbook of food processing
C.a book of popular science
D.a manual of food irradiation
答案：CBCCD

Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions in the air can have an ill effect on people‘s physical or psychological health. What are positive ions? Well， the air is full of ions， electrically charged particles， and generally there is a rough balance between the positive and the negative charged. But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found. This happens naturally before thunderstorm， earthquakes when winds such as the Mistral， Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries. Or it can be caused by a build-up of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibres， or from TV sets， duplicators or computer display screens.
When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experience unpleasant effects such as headaches， fatigue， irritability， and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance. Animals are also affected， particularly before earthquakes， snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation， rats to flee from their burrows， dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably. This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California.
Conversely， when large numbers of negative ions are present， then people have a feeling of well-being. Natural conditions that produce these large amounts are near the sea， close to waterfalls or fountains， or in any place where water is sprayed， or forms a spray. This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea， or in the mountains with tumbling streams or waterfalls.
To increase the supply of negative ions indoors， some scientists recommend the use of ionisers： small portable machines， which generate negative ions. They claim that ionisers not only clean and refresh the air but also improve the health of people sensitive to excess positive ions. Of course， there are the detractors， other scientists， who dismiss such claims and are skeptical about negative/positive ion research. Therefore people can only make up their own minds by observing the effects on themselves， or on others， of a negative rich or poor environment. After all it is debatable whether depending on seismic readings to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than watching the cat.
1.What effect does exceeding positive ionization have on some people?
A.They think they are insane.
B.They feel rather bad-tempered and short-fussed.
C.They become violently sick.
D.They are too tired to do anything.
2.In accordance with the passage， static electricity can be caused by___.
A.using home-made electrical goods.
B.wearing clothes made of natural materials.
C.walking on artificial floor coverings.
D.copying TV programs on a computer.
3.A high negative ion count is likely to be found___.
A.near a pound with a water pump.
B.close to a slow-flowing river.
C.high in some barren mountains.
D.by a rotating water sprinkler.
4.What kind of machine can generate negative ions indoors?
A.Ionisers.
B.Air-conditioners.
C.Exhaust-fans
D.Vacuum pumps.
5.Some scientists believe that___.
A.watching animals to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than depending on seismography.
B.the unusual behavior of animals cannot be trusted.
C.neither watching nor using seismographs is reliable.
D.earthquake
