12月英語六級模擬試卷及答案 1
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
There are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by force; the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is, therefore, necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man. This was covertly taught to rulers by ancient writers, who related how Achilles and many others of those ancient princes were given to Chiron the centaur to be brought up and educated under his discipline. The parable of this semi animal, semi human teacher is meant to indicate that a prince must know how to use both natures, and that the one without the other is not durable. A prince, being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast, must imitate the fox, and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox annot defend himself from wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore, a prudent ruler ought not to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interest, and when the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. If men were all good, this precept would not be good ; but as they are bad, and would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep faith with them. Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed a prince who wished to show colorable excuse for the nonfulfilment of his promise. Of this one could furnish an infinite number of examples, and show how many times peace has been broken, and how many promises rendered worthless, by the faithlessness of princes, and those that have best been able to imitate the fox have succeeded best. But it is necessary to be able to disguise this character well, and to be a great feigner and dissembler, and men are so simple and so ready to obey present necessities, that the one who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.

C) overthrew the government by force

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
The forest from which Man takes his timber is the tallest and most impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of Mans brief life it appears permanent and unchanging, save for the seasonal growth and fall of the leaves, but to forester it represents the climax of a long succession of events. No wooded landscape we see today has been forest for all time. Plants have minimum requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually every part of Earths surface has at some time been either too dry or too cold for plants to survive. However, as soon as climatic conditions change in favour of plant life, a fascinating sequence of changes occurs, called a primary succession.
First to colonize the barren land are the lowly lichens, surviving on bare rock.
Slowly, the acids produced by these organisms crack the rock surface, plant debris accumulates, and mosses establish a shallow root?hold. Ferns may follow and, with short grasses and shrubs, gradually form a covering of plant life. Roots probe even deeper into the developing soil and eventually large shrubs give way to the first trees. These grow rapidly, cutting off sunlight from the smaller plants, and soon establish complete domination—closing their ranks and forming a climax community which may endure for thousands of years.
Yet even this community is not everlasting. Fire may destroy it outright and settlers may cut it down to gain land for pasture or cultivation. If the land is then abandoned, a secondary succession will take over, developing much faster on the more hospitable soil. Shrubs and trees are among the early invaders, their seeds carried by the wind, by birds and lodged in the coats of mammals.For as long as it stands and thrives, the forest is a vast machine, storing energy and many elements essential for life.
26.What does the forest strike mankind as permanent?
A) The trees are in community.
B) The forest is renewed each season.
C) Mans life is short in comparison.
D) It is an essential part our lives.
27.What has sometimes caused plants to die out of the past?
A) Interference from foresters.
B) Variations in climate.
C) The absence of wooded land.
D) The introduction of new type of plants.
28.In a “primary succession, what makes it possible for mosses to take root?
A) The type of rock.
B) The amount of sunlight.
C) The amount of moisture.
D) The effect of lichens.
29.What conditions are needed for shrubs to become established?
A) Ferns must take root.
B) The ground must be covered with grass.
C) More soil must accumulate.
D) Smaller plants must die out.
30.Why is a “secondary succession” quicker?
A) The ground is more suitable.
B) There is more space for new plants.
B) Birds and animals bring new seeds.
D) It is supported by the forest.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls.(“We came in bunches, like radishes.”) At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927. Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.”she said.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A) Grandma Moses: A Biographical Sketch
B) The Children of Grandma Moses
C) Grandma Moses: Her Best Exhibition
D) Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists

A) independent B) pretty
C) wealthy D) timid

A) nursing B) painting
C) embroidering D) farming
35.In line 14, the word “spotted” could best be replaced by ____.
A) speckled B) featured

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their manifest (明顯的) advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee.
Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation researchs classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots(胡蘿卜), baking powder, bread, canned peaches and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read “11b. Maxwell House coffee” on one list and “Nescafe instant coffee” on the other. One list was given to each person in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (“personality and character”) who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant coffee user was probably not a good wife! No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.
36.The fact that producers found resistance to their product despite the fact that they spent more advertising money on instant than regular coffee shows that ____.
A) advertising does not assure favorable sales result
B) companies spent more money on advertising than they should
C) people pay little attention to advertising
D) the more one advertises the better the sales picture
37.In this instance, the purpose of motivation research was to discover ____.
A) why people drink coffee
B) why instant coffee did not taste good
C) why regular coffee was successful
D) the real reason why people would not buy instant coffee
38.This investigation indicated that ____.
A) 50 percent of housewives are lazy
B) housewives who use instant coffee are lazy
C) many women believe that wives who use instant coffee are lazy
D) wives who use regular coffee are good planners
39.On the results of this test, the producers probably revised their advertising to show a ____.
A) lazy housewife using regular coffee
B) hard?working housewife using instant coffee
C) lazy housewife using instant coffee
D) man obviously enjoying the taste of instant coffee

廣告宣傳對促銷起著十分重要的作用。但廣告并不是萬能的，有時它的效果并不理想，甚至起著相反的作用。作者以實際例子說明這一問題。雖然速溶咖 啡有其自身的優(yōu)勢，但為什么會在市場上滯銷 ?其原因就出在廣告宣傳上。滯銷只是表面現(xiàn)象，而深層的涵義則是因為許多買速溶咖啡的家庭婦女往往被認(rèn)為是懶惰的。試驗結(jié)果則表明：廠家很有可能改變其廣告宣傳，說明只有勤快的家庭主婦才使用速溶咖啡。這就從另一個測面告訴人們：我們對正在做的事情并不真正知道其原因。

短文大意
本篇短文主要說明了個人的主觀能動性是取得成功的主要因素。那些在大學(xué)里學(xué)習(xí)想獲取很大成就的學(xué)生往往比那些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不高的學(xué)生的考分高得多。那么 個人如何才能獲取較大的成績呢?主要靠個人的奮斗，也就是說，個人必須具有很強(qiáng)烈的獲得成功的積極性。這種積極性不要別人監(jiān)督，要對自己負(fù)責(zé)，要具有一定的良好素質(zhì)——具有較大的成 就，要有很強(qiáng)的積極性，有進(jìn)取心，而不是僅僅為了找一份工作，混口飯吃而已。研究表明，有些的確有所作為的人為了避免失敗則有更強(qiáng)的進(jìn)取心。
71. 【參考答案】individual motivation for work【解題技巧】利用短文中的關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行總結(jié)�！驹敿�(xì)解答】要找一篇文章的主題，必須首先對全文有所了解。本題的答案是不可能從某一句話或某一段落能夠找得到的。這就需要有全局觀念，要有概括能力，要從關(guān)鍵詞中找答 案。文章的第一段主要說明了有進(jìn)取心的學(xué)生往往考分較高，這種進(jìn)取心來自一種動力 (motivation)。第二段主要說明那些有強(qiáng)烈愿望取得好成績的人都有一種很強(qiáng)的motivation，這種積極性或原動力是不需要有人監(jiān)督的。第三段最后一句話高度概括了這一段落的中心意思。然后，把三段的主要內(nèi)容融合在一起考慮，就不難得出這樣的結(jié)論： individual motivation for work。
72. 【參考答案】by working well alone【解題技巧】可以利用原文中的關(guān)鍵詞語來確定答案�！驹敿�(xì)解答】要回答這個問題，需要從字行里去找答 案，因為有些問題比較直觀。個人如何獲得好成績 ?是靠個人的努力或是靠監(jiān)管人員的監(jiān)督?在第二段中有這樣一句話： Their desire for accomplishment is a stronger motivation than any situation the supervisor can provide由此可知，個人的成績是靠自己的努力，靠動力，而不是靠別人的監(jiān)管。
73. 【參考答案】accept responsibilities for themselves or be responsible for themselves【解題技巧】通過總結(jié)和推理找出答案�！驹敿�(xì)解答】根據(jù)短文意思，有爭勝心的人往往會自己對自己負(fù)責(zé)。要回答這個問題是不能從某一句話或某一段落中找答 案的，就必須對整篇文章進(jìn)行概括和總結(jié)，并根據(jù)問題的提出進(jìn)行推理。前面已經(jīng)講過，學(xué)習(xí)好要有動力，取得成功要有動力，要靠本人，而不是靠別人的監(jiān)管和督促，從而也就得出結(jié)論：成功要靠自己 (Be responsible for themselves)。
74. 【參考答案】high achievement needs【解題技巧】從段落中的關(guān)鍵詞語中找答 案�！驹敿�(xì)解答】招聘人員對大學(xué)高年級學(xué)生訓(xùn)練成管理人材的素質(zhì)要求是：要有很強(qiáng)的事業(yè)心和進(jìn)取精神。這可以從短文的第三段中看得出來，如： Thoughts concerning the achievement drive are often prominent in the evaluations made by the typical employment interviewer who interviews college seniors for excutive training.這段文字的關(guān)鍵詞語是：achievement drive(成就動力)，也就是achievement needs。
75. 【參考答案】they are afraid of failing【解題技巧】需要從字行里找答 案，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞語進(jìn)行推理�！驹敿�(xì)解答】 What motivates some seniors to succeed?要回答這個問題，需要仔細(xì)分析文章的最后一句話： Research indicates that some who do get ahead have an even stronger drive to avoid failure. 研究說明有些的確能夠進(jìn)取的人甚至有更強(qiáng)的避免失敗的動力。這種避免失敗的動力，實際上就是害怕失敗。
Part Ⅴ
寫作指導(dǎo)
這是一篇描寫文 (Description)。用通俗的話說，描寫文就是用文字給人物、地點、景物畫象。一篇描寫文主要是通過所感受的細(xì)節(jié)——所見所聞發(fā)展而來的。在寫人 時，不僅僅要用細(xì)節(jié)描寫其外貌，而要注重通過他的言行來表現(xiàn)其人物性格、思想和品德，更要抓住他區(qū)別于他人的性格特點，這樣就容易給讀者留下深刻的印象。短文的第一、二段敘述故事發(fā)生的時間、地點，故事發(fā)生的原因及故事所涉及的人物。文章的三、四、五段描寫的是人物的外貌，穿著及性格特點。通過對人物言行 的簡單描寫來揭示主人翁的助人為樂的高尚精神。短文的最后一段，要用一句話概括作者對主人翁的看法： A good guy。文章有描述，有議論，要加敘加議，有血有肉，上下文連貫要緊密，首尾要呼應(yīng)，人和事要給人們留下深刻印象。
Sample Writing
The First Impression of My Roommate
It was my first day at the institute. I got into the building where I was going to live, and looked door after door for my name. At last I found it. In the room, there was already a student making his bed. After we said “how do you do?” to each other, he continued his work, paying no more attention to me. I looked around the room and found that it had been thoroughly cleaned. No doubt it was he who had done it.I looked at him. He was thin, short and dark. His hair was like a bundle of straw. His dirty clothes and tired look told me that he had had a long journey. His clothes were made of cheap cloth, and he wore a pair of rubber shoes, which were very unfashionable. He was not a very smart freshmen at all.
The second time he spoke, his accent told me that he was from the south. “Shall I help you to get your luggage from the office?”
I did not refuse since I really needed help. He was quick in movement. He walked out of the room and was soon far ahead of me to the office.
“A good guy,”I said to myself.“I will make friends with him ”,and I hurried and caught up with him.

My Friend, Albert Einstein1
He was one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known, yet if I had to convey the essence 2 of Albert Einstein in a single word, I would choose simplicity. Perhaps an anecdote 3 will help. Once, caught in a downpour, he took off his hat and held it under his coat. Asked why, he explained, with admirable logic , that the rain would damage the hat, but his hair would be none the worse4 for its wetting. This knack for going instinctively to the heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries — this and his extraordinary feeling for beauty.
I first met Albert Einstein in 1935 , at the famous Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N. J. 5 He had been among the first to be invited to the Institute, and was offered carte blanche6 as to salary. To the director’s dismay, Einstein asked for an impossible sum: it was far too small. The director had to plead with him to accept a larger salary.
I was in awe of7 Einstein, and hesitated before approaching him about some ideas I had been working on. When I finally knocked on his door, a gentle voice said, “Come ”—with a rising inflection that made the single word both a welcome and a question. I entered his office and found him seated at a table, calculating and smoking his pipe. Dressed in ill-fitting clothes, his hair characteristically awry8 , he smiled a warm welcome . His utter naturalness at once set me at ease.
As I began to explain my ideas, he asked me to write the equations on the blackboard so he could see how they developed. Then came the staggering — and altogether endearing — request:“Please go slowly. I do not understand things quickly. ”This from Einstein! He said it gently, and I laughed. From then on, all vestiges of fear were gone.

12月英語六級模擬試卷及答案 4
Federal Reserve System, central banking system of the United States, popularly called the Fed. A central bank serves as the banker to both the banking community and the government; it also issues the national currency, conducts monetary policy, and plays a major role in the supervision and regulation of banks and bank holding companies. In the U.S. these function are the responsibilities of key officials of the Federal Reserve System: the Board of Governors, located in Washington, D.C., and the top officers of 12 district Federal Reserve banks, located throughout the nation. The Fed’s actions, described below, generally have a significant effect on U.S. interest rates and, subsequently, on stock, bond, and other financial markets.
The Federal Reserve’s basic powers are concentrated in the Board of Governors, which is paramount in all policy issues concerning bank regulation and supervision and in most aspects of monetary control. The board enunciates the Fed’s policies on both monetary and banking matter. Because the board is not an operating agency, most of the day-to day implementation of policy decisions is left to the district Federal Reserve banks, stock in which is owned by the commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. Ownership in this instance, however, does not imply control; the Board of Governors and the heads of the Reserve banks orient their policies to the public interest rather than to the benefit of the private banking system.
The U.S. banking system’s regulatory apparatus is complex; the authority of the Federal Reserve is shared in some instances for example, in mergers or the examination of banks with other Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In the critical area of regulating the nation’s money supply in accordance with national economic goals, however, the Federal Reserve is independent within the government, Income and expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks and of the board of governors are not subject to the congressional appropriation process; the Federal Reserve is self-financing. Its income ($20.2 billion in 1992) comes mainly from Reserve bank holdings of income-earning securities, primarily those of the U.S. government. Outlays ($1.5 billion in 1992) are mostly for operational expenses in providing services to the government and for expenditures connected with regulation and monetary policy. In 1992 the Federal Reserve returned 416.8 billion in earnings to the U.S. treasury.
1.The Fed of the United States ___.
A.function as China Bank
B.is the counterpart of People’s Bank of China
C.is subjected to the banking community and government
D.has 13 top officers who can influence the American financial market
2.The fact that stock in the Fed belongs to commercial banks ___.
A.doesn’t mean the latter is in control
B.means the latter is in control
C.means the latter is subjected to the Reserve banks
D.means the Reserve banks orient the latter’s policies
3.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A.The fed is a very big, complex and significant system which comprises many local banks.
B.All the commercial banks are not the components of Federal Reserve System.
C.Board of governors is the supreme policy-makers of America.
D.District Reserve banks rather than Board of governors perform the day-to-day policies.
4.The authority of the federal Reserve ___.
A.has to be shared with other establishments.
B.is exclusive at other times
C.isn’t limited by comptroller of the Currency and FDIC
D.is limited by Board of governors
5.Income of the Board of governors ___.
A.is borrowed from the U.S. treasury
B.is used by the government to make various policies
C.comes from the U.S. Treasury
D.is not granted by the government

What’s more, the study of language offers direct insight into how humans learn . ―Language is a test case for human cognitive development,‖ says Schafer. But parents eager to teach their infants should take note: Even without being

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Using a public telephone may well be one of the minor irritations of life, demanding patience, determination and a strong possibility of failure, together on occasion with considerable unpopularity.
The hopeful caller (shall we call him George?) waits till six o’clock in the evening to take advantage of the so-called “cheap rates” for a long-distance call. The telephone box, with two broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the junction of two main roads with buses, lorries and cars roaring past. It is pouring with rain as George joins a queue of four depressed-looking people. Time passes slowly and seems to come to a standstill while the person immediately before George carries on an endless conversation, pausing only to another coin every minute or so.
Eventually the receiver is replaced and the caller leaves the box. George enters and picks up one of the directories inside, only to discover that someone unknown has torn out the very page he needs. Nothing for it but to dial directory Enquiries, wait patiently for a reply down the number given.
At last George can go ahead with his call. Just as he is starting to dial, however, the door opens and an unpleasant-looking face peers in with the demand, “Can’t you hurry up?” Ignoring such barbarity, George continues to dial and his unwanted companion withdraws. At last he hears the burr-burr of the ringing tone, immediately followed by rapid pips demanding his money, but he is now so upset that he knocks down the coins he has placed ready on the top of the box. Having at last located them, he dials again: the pips are repeated and he hastily s the coins. A cold voice informs him, “Grand Hotel, Chalfont Wells.” “
I’ve an urgent message for a Mr. Smith who is a guest in your hotel. Could you put me through to him? I’m afraid I don’t know his room number.” The response appears less than enthusiastic and a long long silence follows. George s more coins. Then the voice informs him, “I’ve been trying to locate Mr. Smith but the hall porter reports having seen him leave about a minute ago.”
Breathing heavily, George replaces the receiver, just as the knocking on the door starts again.

Passage 2
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
What does it feel like to be approaching the wrong end of middle age? For the moment at least, the differences between the young diplomat of 30 years ago and the aging writer of today are more psychological than physical. Naturally. I can hardly ignore the inevitable change in my outward appearance. My hair has gonewell, silver; the whites of my eyes occasionally look more like yolks; and I’ve got heavier round the middle. But all this is merely on the surface inside. I’m not really conscious of feeling very much older than I did my younger days.
Mentally, however, it’s another story. It is no longer a surprise to come into a room and to find that I’m the oldest person in it, but notice the fact all the same. It’s a long time since I stopped worrying about policemen being younger than me; when, on the other hand, I find generals, archbishops and High Court judges in the same happy situation. I tend to grow thoughtful …
Now for the compensations. And there are plenty of them, and by no means the least is a new found independence. Until now, responsibilities seem to have increased year by year; now, thankfully they begin to diminish, and are replaced by new opportunities.
These are positive compensations; there are also negative ones which can be appreciated just as much. Immense pleasure can be got from Putting Things Behind One. My own recent decisiontaken with immense reliefhas been to give up all efforts to understand modern music. There is more than enough music from the17th, 18th and 19th centuries to keep me happy for the rest of my life. Now, at last, I can face the fact that I just don’t like 20th century music.
Finally, it’s goodbye to hypochondria. When I was young I constantly worried about my health and imagined I had all sorts of terrible diseases. Now those days are over. I love every moment of my life and want it to go on for as long as possible until I become senile or a burden to my family and friends, at which point I would like it to stop at once. I can honestly say that I have had and am still having a wonderful time.
26.In the passage, what is the writer mainly talking about?
A) We should take an objective attitude towards the problem of getting old.
B) We can have compensations while getting old.
C) Getting old is a terrible thing.
D) We should refuse to accept the fact of getting old.
27.According to the passage, the changes of the writer while getting old
are the following except ____.
A) the hair has become white
B) the whites of the eyes look like yellow
C) the man becomes fat
D) the difference between the young and the aging writer is more in his o
utward appearance than in his inside
28.According to the writer, what is not the advantage of getting old?
A) New opportunities take the place of responsibilities.
B) Immense pleasure can be got from negative compensations.
C) Generals, archbishops and High Court judges are all happy while getting old.
D) Hypochondria will not disturb you any longer.

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
There is nothing new about TV and fashion magazines giving girls unhealthy ideas about how thin they need to be in order to be considered beautiful. What is surprising is the method psycholo gists at the University of Texas have come up with to keep girls from developing eating disorders. Their main weapon against superskinny models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed body activism.
Since 2001, more than 1,000 high school and college students in the U.S. have participated in the Body Project, which works by getting girls to understand how they have been buying into the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or successful. After critiquing the so-called thin ideal by writing essays and role-playing with their peers, participants are directed to come up with and execute small, nonviolent acts. They include slipping notes saying Love your body the way it is into dieting books at stores like Borders and writing letters to Mattel, makers of the impossibly proportioned Barbie doll.
According to a study in the latest issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the risk of developing eating disorders was reduced 61% among Body Project participants. And they continued to exhibit positive body-image attitudes as long as three years after completing the program, which consists, of four one-hour sessions. Such lasting effects may be due to girls realizing not only how they were being influenced but also who was benefiting from the societal pressure to be thin. These people who promote the perfect body really dont care about you at all, says Kelsey Hertel, a high school junior and Body Project veteran in Eugene, Oregon. They purposefully make you feel like less of a person so youll buy their stuff and theyll make money.

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

教育的目標(biāo)
Education has played an increasingly crucial role in modern so-ciety. We aim education on different levels at cultivating the to-be successors of our global village. One important goal that education is trying to achieve is help students master the ways to acquire knowledge.
Of all the capabilities one can develop to acquire knowledge in being educated, three sorts are of the greatest significance.First of all, students who are receiving education definitely know that they are always ignorant of some branches in th eocean of knowledge, which can keep them modest and more willing to explore their unfamiliar realms, even deeper if theyve already done so. Moreover, students can imitate what their teachers or professors do in or our of class and then gradually acquire the ability to undertake more scientific re-search and intellectual inquiries alone. Last but not least,youngsters who are accustomed to being educated at school or college are more likely to keep studying as a life-long habit,which will have a substantially positive effect on their own life and the future of the human world.
In my perspective, education is one of the most marvelous social inventions that ever existed in human history. Without it, the whole globe can never continue developing further in a civilized and prosperous direction.
