The Importance of Reading Classics.
There is no doubt that classics play a significant role in people?s cultural life, and we can gain a great deal by reading these famous works. Besides, for English learners, it is of double benefit to read English classics in the original in that we can get familiar the history and culture of the English-speaking world, as well as improve our English.
But unfortunately, people?s interest in reading classics, whether the Chinese ones or the E nglish counterparts, is fading away quickly in this information age. One of the major reasons given by the young people is that they can get information more easily and quickly by browsing the Internet, and they can always amuse themselves, and that in a more relaxed way, by visiting theatres, watching TV, playing video games, to name just three. But the underlying cause, I believe, is the fact that people nowadays are more and more material-oriented or utilitarian. And they are too busy making money and doing things of immediate significance to pay any attention to the improvement of their mind and spirit!
We university students should make good use of our time on campus to attach due importance to the reading of classics. It is feasible for us to do some classical reading, because we can afford the time. What?s more important, we need classics to help broaden our sight and polish our mind.
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
Space T ourism
Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA), Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world?s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.
Lance Bass of ?N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.
These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehic les and orbital cities within the
next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.
In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.
Space accommodations
Russia?s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.
The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001. Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia?s cosmonaut（宇航员）training centre, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be climinated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC?s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.
Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:
Space Island Groups is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating ……commercial space infrastructure (基础结构)??that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie“2001: A Space Odyssey.” Space Island says it will build its space city out of the empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth?s.
According to their vision statement, Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousands of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and aboard dozens of different vehicle--- ??Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and the possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.
Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is us ed as a tourist attraction, guests won?t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.
In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planed by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function normally within the structure. Everything from running water to a recycling plant to medical facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.
Many of these companies believe they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?
The Most Experience Vacation
Will space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. One pound of payload (有效载重) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth?s orbit.
NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the V entureStar, that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space would move into the millions.
In 1998, a joint report from NASA and the space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that at a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year. While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.
Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, ……Isn?t that great-when do I get to go??? well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New Y ork and Los Angeles.

Part IV Reading Comprehension
Section A
I?ve heard from and talked to many people who described how Mother Nature simplified their lives for them. They?d lost their home and many or all of their possessions through fires, floods, earthquakes, or some other disaster. Losing everything you own under such circumstances can be distressing, but the people I?ve heard from all saw their loss, ultimately, as a blessing.
……the fire saved us the agony of deciding what to keep and what to get rid of,?? one woman wrote. And once all those things were no longer there, she and her husband saw how they had weighed them down and complicated their lives.
……There was so much stuff we never used and that was just taking up space. We vowed when started over, we?d replace only what we needed, and this we?d do it right. We?ve kept our promise: we don?t have much now, but what we have is exactly what we want.??
Though we?ve never had a catastrophic loss such as that, Gibbs and I did have a close call shortly before we decided to simplify. At that time we lived in a fire zone. One night a firestorm raged through and destroyed over six hundred homes in our community. That tragedy gave us the opportunity to look objectively at the goods we?d accumulated.
We saw that there was so much we could get rid of and only never miss, but be better off without. Having almost lost it all, we found it much easier to let go of the things we knew we?d never use again.
Obviously, there?s a tremendous difference between getting rid of possessions and los ing them through a natural disaster without having a say in the matter. And this is not to minimize the tragedy and pain such a loss can generate.
But you might think about how you wouldn?t acquire again no matter what, and in fact would be happy to be rid of.
When you?re ready to start unloading some of your stuff, that list will be a good place to start.
47.Many people whose possessions were destroyed in natural disasters eventually considered

48.Now that all their possessions were lost in the fire, the woman and her husband felt that their lives had been___________________________
49.What do we know about the author?s house from the sentence “Gibbs and I did have a close call---?? (Line1-2, Para.4)? ___________________________________________________
50.According to the author, getting rid of possessions and losing them through a natural disaster are vastly____________________
51.What does the author suggest people do with unnecessary things?
_______________________________________________
Answers: 47 as a blessing/ as something not so depressing
48 much simplified/ much relieved and easier
49 it needs simplified/ they unload unnecessary things from it/ it was almost destroyed by fire
50 different
51 getting rid of them
Section B
Passage one
In a purely biological sense, fear begins with the body?s system for reacting to things that can harm us- the so-called fight-or-fight response. ……an animal that can?t detect danger can?t stay alive.?? Says Joseph LeDoux. Like animals, humans evolved with an elaborate mechanism for processing information about potential threats. At its core is a cluster of neurons(神经元) deep in the brain known as the amygdale(扁桃核).
LeDoux studies the way animals and humans respond to threats to understand how we form memories of significant events in our lives. The amygdale receives input from many parts of the brain, including regions responsible for retrieving memories. Using this information, the amygdale appraises a situation-I think this charging dog wants to bite me-and triggers a response by radiating never signals throughout the body. These signals produce the familiar signs of distress: trembling, perspiration and fast-moving feet, just to name three.
This fear mechanism is critical to the survival of all animals, but no one can say for sure whether beasts other than humans know they?re afraid. That is, as LeDoux says, ……if you put that system into a brain that has consciousness, then you get the feeling of fear.??
Humans, says Edward M. Hallowell, have the ability to call up images of bad things that happened in the past and to anticipate future events. Combine these higher thought processes with hardwired danger-detection systems, and you get a near-universal human phenomenon: worry.
That?s not necessarily a bad thing, says Hallowell. ……when used properly, worry is an incredible device,?? he says. After all, a little healthy worrying is okay if it leads to constructive action-like having a doctor look at that weird spot on your back.
Hallowell insists, though, that there?s a right way to worry. ……never do it alone, get the facts and then make a plan,?? he says. Most of us have survived a recession, so we?re familiar with the belt-tightening strategies needed to survive a slump.
Unfortunately, few of us have much experience dealing with the threat of terrorism, so it's been difficult to get facts about how we should respond. That?s why Hallowell believes it was okay for people to indulge some extreme worries last fall by asking doctors for Cipro (抗炭疽菌的药物) and buying gas masks.
B 51.The ……so-called fight-to fight response?? (Line 1-2, Para.1) refers to________
A The biological process in which human beings? sense of self-defense evolves
B The instinctive fear human beings feel when faced with potential danger
C The act of evaluating a dangerous situation and making a quick decision
D The elaborate mechanism in the human brain for retrieving information
D 52.From the studies conducted by LeDoux we learn that____________
A Reactions of humans and animals to dangerous situations are often unpredictable
B Memories of significant events enable people to control fear and distress
C People?s unpleasant memories are derived from their feelings of fear
D The amygdale plays a vital part in human and animal responses to potential danger
A 53.From the passage we know that___________
A A little worry will do us good if handled properly
B a little worry will enable us to survive a recession
C Fear strengthens the human desire to survive danger
D fear helps people to anticipate certain future events
D 54.Which of the following is the best way to deal with your worries according to Hallowell?
A Ask for help from the people around you
B use the belt-tightening strategies for surviva
C Seek professional advice and take action
D understand the situation and be fully prepared
B 55.In Hallowell?s view, people?s reaction to the terrorist threat last fall was___________

B understandable
C over-cautious
D sensible Passage two
Amitai Etzioni not surprised by the latest headings about scheming corporate crooks(骗子).As a visiting professor at the Harvard Business School in 1989, he ended his work there disgusted with his students? overwhelming just for money. ……they?re taught that profit is all that matters.?? He says. ……many schools don?t even offer ethics(伦理学) c ourse at all.??
Etzioni expressed his frustration about the interests of his graduate students. ……by and large, I clearly had not found a way to help classes full of MBAs see that there is no more to life than money, power, fame and self-interest.?? He wro te at the time. Today he still takes the blame for not educating these ……business-leaders-to-be.?? ……I really feel I failed them,?? he says. ……if I was a better teacher maybe I could have reached them.??
Etzioni was a respected ethics expert when he arrived at Harvard. He hoped his work at the university would give him insight into how questions of morality could be applied to places where self-interest flourished. What he found wasn?t encouraging. Those would-be executives had, says Etzioni, little interest in concepts of ethics and morality in the boardroom-and their professor was met with blank stares when he urged his students to see business in new and different ways. Etzioni sees the experience at Harvard as an eye-opening one and says there?s much abo ut business schools that he?d like to change. ……a lot of the faculty teaching business are bad news themselves.?? Etzioni says. From offering classes that teach students how to legally manipulate contracts, to reinforcing the notion of profit over communit y interests. Etzioni has seen a lot that?s left him shaking his head. And because of what he?s seen taught in business schools, he?s not
surprised by the latest rash of corporate scandals. ……In many ways things have got a lot worse at business schools. I s uspect,?? says Etzioni.
Etzioni is still teaching the sociology of right and wrong and still calling for ethical business leadership. ……people with poor motives will always exist,?? he says. ……sometimes environments constrain those people and sometimes env ironments give those people opportunity.?? Etzioni says the booming economy of the last decade enabled those individuals with poor motives to get rich before getting in trouble. His hope now: that the cries for reform will provide more fertile soil for his long-standing messages about business ethics.
B 57.What impressed Amitai Etzioni most about Harvard MBA students?
A Their keen interest in business courses
B their intense desire for money
C Their tactics for making profits
D their potential to become business leaders
C 58.Why did Amitai Etzioni say ……I really feel like I failed them?? (Line3-4, Para.2)?
A He was unable to alert his students to corporate malpractice
B He didn?t teach his students to see business in new and different ways
C He could not get his students to understand the importance of ethics in business
D He didn?t offer courses that would meet the expectations of the business-leaders-to –be
D 59. Most would-be executives at the Harvard Business School believed that___________
A Questions of morality were of utmost importance in business affairs
B Self-interest should not be the top priority in business dealings
C New and different principles should be taught at business schools
D There was no place for ethics and morality in business dealings
A 60.In Etzioni?s view, the latest rash of corporate scandals could be attributed to___________
A The tendency in business schools to stress self-interest over business ethics
B The executives? luck of knowledge i n legally manipulating contracts
C The increasingly fierce competition in the modern business world
D The moral corruption of business school graduates
A 61.We learn from the last paragraph that__________
A The calls for reform will help promote business ethics
B Businessmen with poor motives will gain the upper hand
C Business ethics courses should be taught in all business schools
D Reform in business management contributes to economic growth

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. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,

六级阅读各题型有的放矢-简答及选词填空 在新六级的考试大纲中明确写出简答题和选词填空是或考题型，即每次考试考哪一道题都是不确定的，但是从改革之后的几次考察情况来看，大家或者也能感觉到哪一道题会重要些，从2006年12月开始实行新的题型，六次考试全都都考了简答题。但我们还是对两种题型做同样的分析。 简答题 考试大纲中，关于简答题的介绍如下： 简答题的篇幅长度约为400－450词，篇章后面有若干个问题，要求考生根据对文章的理解简洁地（少于10个词）回答问题或完成句子。 通常来说，简答题在一篇文章之后有五道题，这五题中问答和完成句子的数量是不确定的，有时多问题，有时多完成句子。那经过对历年真题的分析，我们发现此题的话题与传统阅读部分是非常相似的，基本上在交通、大众传媒、文化、网络这几个话题上，相对来说比传统阅读还要少一些。文章的难度相对较低，尤其是长难句的数量也有所减少。 此题难度较低，原因在于绝大多数题目都是细节题的考法，而此处不需要对原文信息进行同义替换，可直接抄写原文信息，故此题只需要进行定位即可。考生朋友把握三条原则，此题可解。 1）答案与问法一致原则。 做此题时，首先看题干，划关键词，同时还要对问法做出标记，根据问法的不同，考生的回答也应该有所不同，如2009年6月20日真题的第47，48两道题： 2）照抄原文原则 定位后，可以通过对比原文与题干，找出丢失信息，直接从原文中抄写即可，尽量不要对原文信息做改写，或调整，必要的时候也只是同一个单词的词性的变化。请看下面例题： 48. By promoting “body activism,” University of Texas psychologists aim to prevent ________. 利用划线的两处名词，可以在原文中找到如下的句子：What is surprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texas have come up with to keep girls from developing eating disorders. Their main weapon against super skinny (role) models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed “body activism.”

2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案（第1套） Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods. It’s not difficult for us to come up with se veral possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance. From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods. 【参考范文译文】 俗话说，知识能改变命运。因此，为了获得知识，我们必须努力学习。然而，不可忽略的是，有效的学习既离不开学习动力的存在，也离不开科学的学习方法。 不难列举上述观点的原因。首先，学习是一件严肃且困难的事。因此，不是每个人都能在没有某种内在动机的情况下一直继续。此外，科学的方法在提高学习效率方面发挥着重要的作用。我们当中有不少人都认为，学习的时间越长，成绩就会越好。但是我们周边同学的很多经历证明这个观点并不完全正确。具体来说，长时间的学习是累人的，因此它很可能会降低学习效率，而学习效率对于学业成绩来说却是至关重要的。 综上所述，我们可以很容易就得出如下结论：学习动机和方法的重要性是不言而喻的，因此我们非常有必要形成良好的学习方法。
