A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment. 　　A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The U. S. A is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy. 　　Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the U. S. A. in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was. unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day. 　　1. A country's wealth depends upon______. , 　　A. its standard of living 　　B. its money 　　C. its ability to provide goods and services 　　D. its ability to provide transport and entertainment 　　2. The word "foremost" means______. 　　A. most importantly B. firstly 　　C. largely D. for the most part 　　3. The main idea of the second paragraph is that______. 　　A. a country's wealth depends on many factors 　　B. the U. S. A. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world 　　C. the Sahara Desert is a very poor region 　　D. natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country 　　4. The third paragraph mentions some of the advantages which one country may have over another in making use of its resources. How many such advantages are mentioned in this paragraph? 　　A. 2 B. 3 　　C. 4 D. 5 　　5. The second sentence.in Paragraph 3 is______. 　　A. the main idea of the paragraph 　　B. an example supporting the main idea of the paragraph 　　C. the conclusion of the paragraph 　　D. not related to the paragraph 1.

American machine tools, on average, are old, relatively inefficient, and rapidly becoming obsolete, whereas those of our competitors overseas, in comparison, are newer and more efficient. We are no longer the most productive workers in the world. We are no longer the leaders in industrial innovation (革新). We are an immensely 　　wealthy nation of educated men and women who seem to have lost sight of the fact that everything—from the simplest necessities to the finest luxuries—must be produced through our own collective hard work. We have come to expect automatic increases in our collective standard of living, but we seem to have forgotten that these increases are possible only when our productivity continues to grow. 　　One thing that must change is the rate at which we substitute capital equipment for human labor. Simply put, our labor force has increased at a far greater rate than has our stock of capital investment. We seem to have forgotten that our past productivity gains, to a large extent, were realized from substitutions of capital for human labor. Today, 3 times as many robots are listed as capital assets by Japanese firms as by United States firms. 　　There is no doubt that robots will become a common sight in American factories. Representing a new generation of technology, robots will replace factory labor much as the farm tractor replaced the horse. Robot technology has much to offer. It offers higher levels of productivity and quality at lower costs; in promises to free men and women from the dull, repetitious toil of the factory, it is likely to have an impact on society comparable to that made by the growth of computer technology. 　　1. The word "obsolete"(Para. 1) most probably means_______. 　　A. weak B. old 　　C. new D. out of date 　　2. The author is anxious about_______. 　　A. his people no longer taking the lead in industrial innovation 　　B. his country no longer being a wealthy nation 　　C. his people forgetting to raise their productivity 　　D. his country falling behind other industrial nations 　　3. According to the author, in his country_______.. 　　A. the proportion of labor force to capital investment is quite low 　　B. the growth rate of labor force should be greater than that of capital investment 　　C. the productivity increases should be achieved by the increases of labor force 　　D. capital investment should have increased more rapidly than labor force 　　4. So far as the influence on society is concerned, _______. 　　A. robot technology seems to be much more promising than computer technology 　　B. computer technology has less to offer than robot technology 　　C. robot technology can be compared with computer technology 　　D. robot technology cannot be compared with computer technology 　　5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to show that_______. 　　A. robots will help increase labor productivity 　　B. robots will rule American factories 　　C. robots are cheaper than human laborers 　　D. robots will finally replace humans in factories 1.

Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill—one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place. 　　Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique. 　　It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted. 　　26. What does the writer actually say about pronouncing foreign languages? 　　A. Only a few people are really proficient. 　　B. No one is really an expert in the skill. 　　C. There aren't many people who are even fairly good. 　　D. There are even some people who are moderately proficient. 　　27. The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is 　　A. an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly 　　B. a fundamental consequence of not speaking well 　　C. a consequence of not grasping the problem correctly 　　D. not an obvious cause of speaking poorly 　　28. The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, he suggests, is by_______. 　　A. picking it up naturally as a child 　　B. learning from a native speaker 　　C. not concentrating on pronunciation as such 　　D. undertaking systematic work 　　29. The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends upon_______. 　　A. how closely he attends to the matter 　　B. whether it is English that is being taught 　　C. his teacher's approach to pronunciation 　　D. the importance normally given to grammar and spelling 　　30. How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time? 　　A. By spending lesson time on pronunciation. 　　B. By making ill-informed comments upon pronunciation. 　　C. By not using books on phonetics in the classroom. 　　D. By not giving students a clear mental picture of the difference between sounds. 本文转载自:[url=http://www.cet6.net]英语六级考试网[/url] 26. C 27. C 28.

The area of dependency has widened to include removing rubbish, hospital and ambulance services, and, as the economy develops, central computer and information services as well. If any of these services ceases to operate, the whole economic system is in danger. 　　It is this interdependency of the economic system that makes the power of trade unions such an important issue. Single trade unions have the ability to cut off many economic blood supplies. This can happen more easily in Britain than in some other countries, in part because the labor force is highly organized. About 55 per cent of British workers belong to unions, compared to under a quarter in the United States. For historical reasons, Britain's unions have tended to develop along trade and occupational lines, rather than on an industry-by-industry basis, which makes wage policy, democracy in industry and the improvement of procedures for fixing wage levels difficult to achieve. 　　There are considerable strains and tensions in the trade union movement, some of them arising from their outdated and inefficient structure. Some unions have lost many members because of industrial changes. Others are involved in arguments about who should represent workers in new trades. Unions for skilled trades are separate from general unions, which means that different levels of wages for certain jobs are often a source of bad feeling between unions. In traditional trades which are being pushed out of existence by advancing technologies, unions can fight for their members' disappearing jobs to the point where the jobs of other union's members are threatened or destroyed. The printing of newspapers both in the United States and in Britain has frequently been halted by the efforts of printers to hold on to their traditional highly-paid jobs. 　　1. Why is the question of trade union power important in Britain? 　　A. The economy is very much interdependent. 　　B. Unions have been established a long time. 　　C. There are more unions in Britain than elsewhere. 　　D. There are many essential services. 　　2. Because of their out-of-date organization some unions find it difficult to______. 　　A. change as industries change B. get new members to join them 　　C. learn new technologies D. bargain for high enough wages 　　3. Disagreements arise between unions because some of them 　　A. try to win over members of other unions 　　B. ignore agreements 　　C. protect their own members at the expense of others 　　D. take over other union's jobs 　　4. It is difficult to improve the procedures for fixing wage levels because______. 　　A. some industries have no unions 　　B. unions are not organized according to industries 　　C. only 55 per cent of workers belong to unions 　　D. some unions are too powerful 　　5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? 　　A. There are strains and tensions in the trade union movement. 　　B. Some unions have lost many members. 　　C. Some unions exist in the outdated structure. 　　D. A higher percentage of American workers belong to unions than that of British workers. 1. A 2. A 3. C 4. B 5.

You put on sneakers in a hurry. The water is so bright and shining in the sun that you can hardly look at it. While the charcoal (木炭) fire is starting to burn in the cookout stove, every one goes for a swim. The water feels good—warm at the top, but cooler down around your toes. 　　A little wind is blowing when you come out. The fire isn't quite ready for cooking yet, so you play tag (儿童捉人游戏) or read. 　　For lunch there are hot dog, corn, salad and rolls, sodas, fruit, and coffee for the adults. By the time the coffee water boils and the corn and hot dogs are cooked, all the bathing suits are dry. So are the towels spread out on the rocks, in the sun. 　　Lunch is good. Just as you are finishing, it starts to rain so you pack up and run. But nobody minds the rain. It will cool things off. 　　At the same time you were having fun at the beach, work was being done. Energy from the sun was doing work. Energy, in one form or another, does all the work in the world. 　　Heat energy from the sun dried the towels. It heated the sand and the rocks, the water and the air. It even made the rain and the wind. Heat from the sun does small work and big work, all over the earth. 　　Light energy from the sun was working on the beach too. It supplied the daylight. 　　It lit the earth and made the sand bright and the water sparkling. 　　The sun also supplied the energy that grew the food you ate. 　　Plants use light energy from the sun to make food for themselves. The food is a kind of sugar. It is also a kind of energy called chemical energy. Green plants change light energy from the sun into chemical energy. 　　Plants use some of that energy for everyday living and growing. They store the rest in their leaves and seeds, in fruit, roots, stems, and berries. 　　The salad and the corn, the rolls, fruit, and coffee all came from plants. You and all animals depend on plants for food. 　　The charcoal you used for cooking began as a plant too. Once, that charcoal was a living tree that used sunlight to make food and then stored part of the food it made. The energy in this stored food remained, even after the tree died. You used that energy when you burned the charcoal. 　　The gasoline you used for driving to the beach began with energy from the sun, too. It was made from oil. 　　Oil was formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived on earth millions of years ago. The remains of ancient living things are called fossils. This is why oil is called a fossil fuel. Coal and natural gas are fossil fuels, too. 　　Now fossil fuels are beginning to be used up. 　　That's why people worry about running out of energy. 　　But as long as the sun shines, the earth will not run out of energy. The sun pours more energy on earth than we can ever use. Most of that energy comes to us as heat and light. Energy from the sun is called solar energy. 　　Solar energy is a safe kind of energy. It doesn't make pollution or have dangerous leftovers. That is why scientists and inventors are experimenting with ways of harnessing the sun to do some of the jobs fossil fuels have been doing. 　　But to make the sun do work like that, they have to solve some problems. 　　They have to collect the sun's energy. Collecting sunshine isn't easy, unless you are a plant. 　　Sunshine isn't easy to store, either. You can't fill a tank with it or put it in the wood box. You can't move it through a pipe or a wire. You can't turn it on. 　　Still, people have been using solar energy to help do their work for a long time. There are old ways and new ways of catching sunshine and putting it to work. 　　Suppose you were living in a cold place and going to spend the winter in a cave. Would you choose a cave that faced the winter sun or a cave that faced away from it? 　　You might make the same choice if you were building a house in a cold place. You would probably build the house, so the winter sun would pour in the windows to warm it. People have been building houses that way for a long time. 　　Is it possible to catch still more of the sun's heat in a house? Yes, Some houses also collect heat on the roof, move it indoors, store some, use some to make hot water and the rest for heating. A house like that is called a solar house. 　　People who build solar houses have learned how to do those things by observing how the earth itself uses solar energy. 　　Remember the beach? 　　Remember the hot sand and the hot rocks? 　　Some materials take in heat energy from the sun and hold it. They absorb the heat. Sand and rocks do this. So do some other solid materials, such as metals. Water absorbs the sun's heat too. 　　Color can also be important. Dark, dull colors absorb heat. Light-colored, shiny surfaces reflect heat. They bounce it back. That's why dark clothes are warmer in the winter and light colored clothes are cooler in the summer. 　　The longer it takes something to heat up, the longer that thing holds the heat. Materials that heat up fast cool off fast. 　　If you go back to the beach in the evening after sunset, the sand and the rocks, which heated up fast, will be cool. But the water, which heated up slowly, will still be warm. 　　It takes a long time for the sun to heat the water in a big lake or ocean. But by the end of summer, a large body of water will have caught and stored enough heat from the sun to last for a good part of the winter. Water stores heat very well. 　　That's why land near a large body of water never gets quite as cold in the winter as land far away from the water. The stored heat in the water keeps the land around it warm. 　　Slowly, all winter long, heat from the water moves out into the cold air. Heat always moves that way—from a warmer place or thing to a cooler one. Once you know which way heat moves, you understand how things get hot and how they lose heat. 　　1. All the work in the world is done by energy coming from the sun in one form or another. 　　2. As we humans depend on plants for food, plants live on chemical energy converted from light energy. 　　3. Unless the sun dies, it will supply endless energy on earth. 　　4. It has been a long time since people began to use solar energy because sunshine can be stored in houses. 　　5. The advantage of the solar house is that it has hot water and heating. 　　6. A solar house doesn't have to use electricity when it makes a good use of solar energy. 　　7. The passage gives a brief account of how solar energy is employed. 　　8. We can understand how things get hot or lose heat as long as we know______. 　　9. Most of the energy the sun supplies to us is in the forms of______. 　　10. People like to use fossil fuels to get almost all kinds of energy because they are______. I. Y 2. Y 3. Y 4. N 5. N 6. NG 7.

The __1__ of producing a new—for example—toothpaste would make 8 Op the decent price for it, so we will market it at £l. 20. It is not a bad toothpaste (not specially good either, but not bad) , and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the __2__ of novelty soon fades, so sales will __3__ . When that starts to happen we will reduce the price to £l. 15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it, whereupon people will rush to buy it even though it still costs about forty-three percent more than its __4 __price. 　　Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but lp OFF. What a shame to advertise lp OFF your soap or washing powder or dog food or whatever. Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult, but he doesn't. A bargain must not be __5__ To be offered a "gift" of one penny is like being invited to dinner and offered one single pea (tastily cooked), and nothing else. Even if it represented a __6__ reduction it would be an insult. Still, people say, one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper. When I was a boy in Hungary a man was __7__ of murdering some¬one for the sake of one pengo, the equivalent of a shilling, and pleaded__8__ The judge shouted __9__ : "To kill a man for a shilling!

Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who yield to the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards. 　　Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate (避免) need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. 　　All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit. Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further. 　　It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets, though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card. 　　However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty. 　　26. Which of the following can not make you spend more money? 　　A. Credit cards. B. Hire-purchase. 　　C. Rental and leasing schemes. D. None of the above is right. 　　27. The foolhardy are people who_______. 　　A. spend more money than they have B. spend less money than other people C. save money D. make money 　　28. The disadvantage of credit cards is_______. 　　A. to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash 　　B. to encourage people to spend more money 　　C. to be always useful in emergencies 　　D. to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty 　　29. According to the passage, credit cards are made of_______. 　　A. paper B. gold 　　C. plastic D. tin 　　30. Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider______. 　　A. the amount of credit granted 　　B. the number and range of outlets 　　C. the possibility of loss of money 　　D. the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards 26.

Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international markets to compete with those produced in other countries. The French economy needed a larger share of international market to balance its import and export trade. 　　French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the worker's income. Wages, it is true, had risen. Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state, and there was fulltime and overtime employment. Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages. 　　The government was unwilling to let workers leave the country. It was feared that migration of workers would reduce the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its ualified labor force moved to other countries. 　　1. The purpose of the passage is to_______. 　　A. explain the French government's emphasis on quality products 　　B. discuss Charles Deschanel's contribution to the French industrial development 　　C. compare the quality of French goods with that of foreign goods 　　D. show French workmen's enthusiasm to seek well-paid jobs in foreign countries 　　2. It can be inferred from the passage that at the time of Rene Coty . 　　A. France was still at the first stage of industrial development 　　B. French workers were better paid than the workers in any other European countries 　　C. the unemployment rate in France was comparatively higher than that in other European countries 　　D. French workers were able to live better with the increase in their wages 　　3. It is implied in the passage that at that time_______. 　　A. France had a very large share of international market 　　B. the import and export trade in France was making a successful advance 　　C. demand and supply in France was barely balanced 　　D. France was experiencing economic depression 　　4. Which of the following is the best indicator of the extreme inflation in France? 　　A. Eighty percent increase in the prices of consumer goods. 　　B. High cost of food. 　　C. High rents for houses. 　　D. Lack of agricultural products. 　　5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? 　　A. Rents in France were tightly controlled. 　　B. France was flooding the international market with inferior products. 　　C. French workers were prohibited from going abroad to find jobs. 　　D.

The problem is that they have found that the best way to avoid being bitten is: stop breathing, stop sweating, and keep down the temperature of your immediate surroundings. __2__ the first suggestion is impossible and the others very difficult. 　　Scientists have found that there are three ___3___ stages in a mosquito's assault. Stage one is at fifty feet away, when the insect first smells a man or a animal to ___4___ . Stage two is thought to come into operation about twenty-five feet from the target, when the insect becomes guided by the carbon dioxide breathed out by the intended victim. Stage three is when the mosquito is only a matter of inches from its ___5___ the warmth and moisture given off by the victim is the final clue. 　　The researchers then * ___6___ how repellents interfere with its three-stage attack. They found repellents act more subtly than by just giving off a nasty smell. A Canadian researcher says that repellents appear to ___7___ mosquitoes first when it is following the carbon dioxide and second during the final approach, where the warmth and moisture are the insect's ___8___. 　　Air pervaded by one of the many chemical repellents stops the mosquito reacting to the victim's carbon dioxide, and the repellent seems to affect the tiny hairs with which the insect senses moisture in the air. The sensors are blocked so that the ___9___ does not know whether it is flying through a moist current, or the sensors are made to send the ___10 ___ signals.

Japanese researchers found eating the yoghurt 62 levels of hydrogen sulphide (硫化氢) —a major 63 of bad breath — in 80% of volunteers. The 64 are active bacteria in yoghurt. 　　Details were 65 at a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research. A (n) 66 of 24 volunteers who participated in the study were given strict instructions 67 oral health, diet and medicine taking. They spent two weeks 68 yoghurts and similar foods, like cheese. Researchers then 69 bacteria levels and odor-causing compounds,70 hydrogen sulphide. The volunteers then ate 90 grams of yoghurt a day for six weeks. 　　At the end of the study, researchers took 71 again. They found hydrogen sulphide levels 72 in 80% of participants. 　　Dr. Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said: "The foundation has long been 73 people's attention to sugar-free yoghurts as a healthy snack, so it is pleasing to hear that it may have oral health benefits we were previously 74 of. " 　　"Although this research is still in the early stages there is no 75 that sugar-free yoghurts provide a much healthier 76 to sweets and chocolate, and we would encourage snackers to 77 them into their diet. " 　　78, Dr. Carter stressed that the best way to beat bad breath was by 79 a good oral health routine. This involves brushing twice-a-day with fluoride ( 氟化物 ) toothpaste, cutting 80 on the frequency of sugary snacks and drinks and visiting a dentist 81. 　　62.
