英语六级的阅读练习题及答案「篇二」

What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income. If you make $ 1 million a year and spend $ 1 million, you’re not getting wealthier, you’re just living hi gh. Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend。

The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these things offer little or no return. The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses. It’s an attitude。

Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury life –style too. Your property taxes skyrocket, along with the cost of utilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher。

The rich man’s attitude can also be seen in his car. Many drive old unpretentious sedans. Sam Walton, billionaire founder of the Wal – Mart Store, Inc, drove a pickup truck。

Most millionaires measure success by net worth, not income. Instead of taking their money home, they plow as much as they can into their businesses, stock portfolios and other assets. Why? Because the government doesn’t tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes。

The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course,

he’s reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar. That’s the attitude as well。

The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and buses, I’ve found, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those who skimp

on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice。

The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money. They may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary, but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mind-the amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps –and they work unceasingly toward that goal。

One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth – not just income –your goal, the luxury house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so alluring. You’ll have the attitude。

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Wealth is judged according to the life style one has。

B.Inheritance builds an important part in one’s wealth。

C.High income may make one live high and get rich t the same time。

D.Wealth is more of what one has made than anything else。

2.By the author’s opinion, those who spend money on luxury houses and cars_____。

A.will not be taxed by the government

B.have accumulated wealth in another sense

C.live high and have little saved

D.can show that they are among the rich

3.The rich put their money into business because_____。

A.they can get much in return to build their wealth

B.they are not interested in luxury houses and cars

C.their goal is to develop their company

D.that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government

4.The U.S. government doesn’t tax what you spend money on _____。

A.cars Bhouses C.stock D.boats

5.To become wealthy, one should______。

A.seek as much income as he can

B.work hard unceasingly

C.stick to the way he lives

D.save up his earnings

答案：DCACB

20xx年大学英语六级阅读模拟练习题及答案

Prometheus1

Zeus2 told Prometheus to teach the mortals3 anything they needed to know in order to live . He was also to teach them the arts, so that they could build beautiful temples to honor the gods. There was, in fact, only one thing he could not teach them。

“You may give the mortals any gift except the gift of fire . ”Said Zeus.“ Fire belongs to the gods only, and must be kept on Mount

Ol ympus4 . ”

Prometheus was happy to be of service5 to man. He taught people how to make their own tools and how to build homes for themselves. He taught them how to plant and grow their own food, and how to use animals to make their work easier. He even taught them how to make music and how to paint. But without fire, life on earth was very difficult. Food had to be eaten raw; houses could not be kept warm. Tools had to be of stone , because there was no fire for working metal。

Athena , daughter of Zeus, had been watching over6 Prometheus and had helped him in his work. Now, because Prometheus was kind and wanted man to be comfortable on earth, he called upon Athena to help him get fire from Mount Olympus. She knew that Zeus was away and promised to lead Prometheus to Mount Olympus by a secret path。

Just as he arrived Apollo came back from his day’s journey in his chariot7 of the sun. Prometheus lit a torch from the chariot and put the fire in a hollow stalk that he concealed under his cloak. Then he stole

away without being seen by any of the gods, and brought his fire to earth。

When Prometheus lit the first campfire on earth, the people were afraid of it. But they trusted him, and so they came closer and closer and enjoyed the fire’s pleasant warmth and beaut iful glow。

Prometheus knew that he would not have much time before Zeus discovered that he had been disobedient. But he also knew that, powerful as Zeus was, once a god had given a gift it could not be taken away. So he quickly taught the mortals how to use the gift of fire。

参考译文

偷来火种的巨人———普罗米修斯

宙斯让普罗米修斯传授了人类生存所必需的一切知识。普罗米修斯还必须教人类艺术, 这样人们就可以建造漂亮的庙宇来向诸神表达敬意了。事实上, 只有一件事情他不能教人类。

“ 除了火种, 你可以送给人类任何礼物, ”宙斯说,“ 火种仅为神灵所有, 必须保存在奥林匹斯山上。”

普罗米修斯很乐意帮助人类。他教人类如何制造工具和建造房屋, 教他们怎样种植庄稼及利用牲畜减轻劳动负担。他甚至还教人类如何创作音乐与绘画。但是没有火, 人间的生活异常艰辛。人们吃的是生食, 住的房屋也不保暖。因为没有火烧制金属工具, 人们只能用石头做的工具。

宙斯的女儿雅典娜一直都在监督并在工作中帮助普罗米修斯。由于普罗米修斯很善良, 而且很想让人类在世间生活得舒适一些, 他就求雅典娜帮他从奥林匹斯

山上取来火种。雅典娜知道宙斯不在, 就答应带普罗米修斯从一条秘密小道上了奥林匹斯山。

普罗米修斯刚刚到达山上, 阿波罗就行完一天的旅程, 驾着太阳战车归来了。普罗米修斯从战车上点燃一把火炬, 将火种放进藏在他的披风下面的空心的筒状物里面。就这样, 谁也没有看到普罗米修斯悄悄地偷走了火种并将其带到了人间。当普罗米修斯点燃人间的第一堆篝火之时, 人类感到害怕。由于信任普罗米修斯, 他们渐渐靠近了火堆, 感受着篝火带来的'宜人暖意, 观赏着美丽的火焰。普罗米修斯知道, 宙斯很快就会发现他违抗了命令。可他同样明白, 尽管宙斯威力无边, 可一旦一件礼物送了出去是不可能收回的。于是, 他很快教会了人类如何使用火种。

阅读导评

希腊神话中的普罗米修斯给人类送来了火种, 帮助人类缩短了向文明过渡的苦难斗争历程, 他被赋予人性, 是人类的好朋友。然而, 这样做的代价则是: 为了人类生存和幸福而承受无尽的苦难, 可他心甘。就是因为这样, 他渐渐被塑造成一种不屈不挠的英雄形象, 成为那些为正义而斗争的人们的偶像, 就连马克思也这样称赞他,“普罗米修斯是哲学的日历中最高尚的圣者和殉道者。”

阅读导释

1. 在希腊神话中, 普罗米修斯因盗取天火予人触怒宙斯而受罚, 被锁在高加索山崖上, 遭神鹰折磨。神鹰天天来啄食他的肝脏, 而他的肝脏又总能重新长出来。虽然这种痛苦要持续三万年, 可是他坚定地面对苦难, 从来不在宙斯面前丧失勇气。因此, 由Prometheus 所派生出来的形容词Promethean 就用来指“ 赋予生命的, 勇于创造的, 富有反抗精神的”。英国著名诗人雪莱( Shelley, 1792—1822) 的诗剧《解放了的普罗米修斯》( Prometheus Unbound) 就是取希腊神话中

的这位神灵为原型的。另有一种说法: 今天, 在奥林匹克运动会上点燃奥运圣火( Olympic flame) 的惯例也源于普罗米修斯为人类取火的神话。

2. 宙斯, 希腊神话中众神之神, 相当于罗马神话中的主神Jupiter。他是奥

林匹斯山的山神和人类之父, 主宰一切。下文中的Apollo ( 阿波罗) , 是宙斯

之子, 掌管阳光、智慧、预言、音乐、诗歌、医药, 也是男性美的代表。

3. 这里是指“ ( 终有一死的) 生物, 人类”, 与神灵相对而言。这个词还可以作形容词使用, 意思是“ 终有一死的, 世间的, 现世的”, 如: Remember that man is mortal. ( 记住人终有一死。) mortal life ( 现世生活) 。

4. 奥林匹斯山。这是位于马其顿和希腊东部的色萨利之间的一座高山。在希腊神话中, 负责处理神灵事物的委员会的13 位成员就住在奥林匹斯山上。他们是: 众神之父宙斯 ( Zeus) , 众神之母赫拉( Hera) , 海神波塞冬( Poseidon) , 冥王哈得斯( Hades) , 太阳神及音乐诗神阿波罗( Apollo) , 月亮和狩猎女神阿耳特弥斯( Artemis) , 智慧女神雅典娜 ( Athena) , 女灶神赫斯提( Hestia) , 战神阿瑞斯( Ares) , 爱与美神阿佛洛狄特( Aphrodite) , 火神赫菲斯托斯

( Hephaestus) , 掌管商业和发明事物的信使海尔墨斯( Hermes) 和谷物与丰收女神得墨忒耳( Demeter) , 其中哈得斯和得墨忒尔各“ 执政”半年。

5. 该词组作“ 帮助, 用处, 益处”解, 如: Can I be of any service to you? ( 我能帮什么忙吗?) service 还可以用在词组at one’s service 中, 表

示“听人吩咐, 任凭人使用”, 如: If you need any help, I am at your service. ( 如果你需要帮忙, 我当为你效劳。)

6. watch over 作“ 监督, 保护( 免受危害) , 照管”解, 如: The shepherd watches over his flock. ( 牧羊人照管他的羊群。) 和watch 连用的词很多, 如: watchdog ( 看门狗) ; watch keeper ( 值班者, 放哨者) ;

watchman ( 看守人, 警卫员) 。 7. 这个词作“ 战车”解。传说, 太阳神阿波罗白天驾着用黄金和象牙制成的战车, 给广阔无垠的大地带来光明、生命和仁爱。黄昏时分, 他在遥远的西海结束旅行, 然后乘上金船返回东方的家中。这样往返一回, 就形成了人间一天。

They sometimes sit with their backsides( buttocks) on tables and desks as a way ofexpressing their individuality or career attitude.They feel comfortable crossing their legs and sittingwith one ankle on the other knee . Poor posture —slumping oneself over while sitting in a chair and placing feet on whatever object is around — isa common U. S. behavior. It is designed to show that the perso n is casual, honest, sincere,and“ just one of the folks ”. In the United States, even millionaires, corporation presidents,government leaders, and movie stars try to pretend they are ordinary people by using“the U.S. slouch ”and“ the feet-on-the -furniture”maneuver. Unfortunately, other countries interpret this behavior as being sloppy and as reflecting ageneral lack of alertness, interest, and respect. People from the United States do not usuallyrealize that what they regard as casualness is viewed very differently and very negatively bymany people around the world. People in many cultures are expected to sit erect. Such cultures include many countriesin LatinAmerica, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In the United States, slouching is acceptable and isa positive sign of being casual and friendly. In the United States, crossing legs is a sign of goodetiquette .

英语六级考试阅读题专项练习及答案(最新6篇)

英语六级考试阅读题专项练习及答案（最新6篇） 英语六级考试阅读题专项练习及答案篇一 It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear bright clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos (文身) to make some kind of social statement. The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. The people who comprehend the simple principle of being unique through performance make our entire political and economic system work. Those who invent, who improve, who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn#39;t work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism. Charles Kettering didn#39;t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles. Lewis Waterman saw no need to go on dipping a pen into an inkwell, so he put the ink into the pen. George Westinghouse told the world how to stop a train, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city skyline. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one#39;s capacity. Fortunately, enough Americans have been inspired to do something with their uniqueness that we have developed in less than three centuries from a frontier outpost into not only a country of freedom but a country strong enough to protect that freedom. These people prized the notions of individuality and excellence above all things and thus kept the great machine functioning. The ones with the purple hair and the horrorable jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be different and not knowing how to go about it. 1 The student who earns A#39;s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who paints pictures of the world around him, or who can name all the states and their capitals. According to the author unique individuals are persons who______. A. do something better than other people B. know more about a subject than other people C. excel others in work D. all of the above 2、People who regard individuality as a surface thing always do the following EXCEPT A. wearing bright clothes B. coloring their hair C. doing better than others D. decorating their skin with tattoos 3、Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Henry Ford invented assembly-line technique. B. Elisha Otis was the inventor of the lift C. George Westinghouse created cranks. D. Lewis Waterman put the ink into the pen. 4、It can be inferred from the passage that______. A. the real secret to being unique lies in our excellent work B. if we want to be different we#39;d gain more profit C the student who earns A#39;s on the report card has not grasped the real meaning of individuality

Do you expect good things to happen after the accident—an easy recuperation (挽回损失) , a fat check from your insurer? Or do you worry that your neck will hurt forever? “Optimistic people tend to feel that bad things won't last long and won't affect other parts of life, ".Seligman says. Pessimists tend to believe one negative incident will last and undermine everything else in their lives. Also important, researchers say, is the story you construct about why things happen—your explanatory style. Optimists believe that bad events have temporary causes—"The boss is in a bad mood. " Pessimists believe the cause is permanent—"The boss is a jerk. " This sense of control distinguishes one type from the other. Positive thinkers feel powerful. Negative thinkers, Seligman says, feel helpless because they have learned to believe they're doomed, no matter what. A young wife who's told she's incapable of handling household finances might later become a divorce woman who can't balance a checkbook. Such learned helplessness causes much harm on health.

Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World War Ⅱ. Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes, offices, factories, theatres, shops, studios, schools, hotels, and restaurants. But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American. In fact, air conditioning has substantially altered the countrys character and customs. Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous that they are scarcely noticed. To begin with, air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy, boxy, sealed-in skyscrapers. It has been indispensable, no less, to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers, whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled. . . It has, at will, forced families into retreating into families with closed doors and shut windows, reducing the interactions of neighborhood life.

He prefers patterns to dull or bright solid colors and looks longer at stripes and angles than at circular patterns. Within three weeks, however, his preference shifts dramatically to the human face. Why should a baby with so little visual experience attend more to a human face than to any other kind of pattern? Some scientists think this preference represents a built in advantage for the human species. The object of prime importance to the physically helpless infant is a human being. Babies seem to have a natural tendency to

总的概念. 扫读时，应特别注意关键词,因为它们往往是出题的地方，解题的关键。 找到关键词，要标记题号，不然回头再找就麻烦了。 跳读剩余,删除多余.(特指非出题部分) 找到文章中的无关范围以后，立即删除不需要阅读的部分，不要浪费时间。就算有难题，需要再次阅读文章内容，而且要通过推理、判断、弄清文章中“字里行间”潜在意思。可借助这个，减少阅读份量，加强对重点的.分析，以达到针对题目的透彻理解。 不需要阅读的部分: 1 题目后段落 通过最后一题所在的位置，判断文章后面的段落是没有出题，如果没有出题，就全部省略不看。 要特别注意，最后一题是否主题题，如果是，要回到文章开头找答案，然后判断倒数第二题所在地。 2 例子先不看 例子的存在是为了前面的句子,更重要的是看例子前句的内容.可是当题目中涉及了例子涉及的内容的时候,要仔细阅读. 3 地点，特别是连续的地点不看，属于无法考核的内容。 4 人物介绍不看，也是不考内容，具体如下： “重点信息”，名字(人物介绍，可以省略不看)，“重点” 人名,(人物介绍),所作所为

英语六级阅读练习试题及参考答案 英语六级阅读练习原文 Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the languages he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks, Let us throw them
