[解析] 15-24 Johann Strauss was born in Vienna in 1825. His father, a well-known musician, (15) was a strange and moody man. He did not want any of his children to be musicians. He whipped young Johann because the boy insisted he wanted to study music. At last, Johann (16) left his family permanently. He (17) grieved over leaving the family because the wonderful music he always had with him at home was gone forever. The only good thing about the family separation, it seemed, was that young Johann would be free to study music. The dance called the waltz (18) developed from a peasant dance in three-quarter time. The waltz became popular in Vienna, so it was only natural that Johann (19) would be attracted to it. The orchestra Johann’s father had directed was pre- pared to disband when the elder Strauss suddenly died. Young Johann (20) offered to take his father’s place. Most of the musicians questioned that a young man would expect to (21) fill the shoes of a famous father. They did not take into consideration that the son already had an orchestra of his own which was becoming well-known. Finally, one of the members persuaded the others to let the two orchestras be combined. Their first performance (22) was a memorial concert played in his father's honor. Soon Vienna (23) was paying tributes to the son. He wrote such famous waltzes as Tales from the Vienna Woods and The Beautiful Blue Damube, and his music is still played today. His waltzes are (24) as beautiful and timely as when Strauss first wrote them.

Section D Direction: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. after you hear a question ,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1 Questions 25 to 27 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 25-27 By 1862 telegraph communications linked San Francisco with eastern cities, and by 1869, the first transcontinental railroad connected the Pacific coast with the Atlantic seaboard. Today San Francisco has a population of almost three million. It is the financial center of the West, and serves as the terminus for trans-Pacific steamship lines and air traffic. The port of San Francisco, which is almost eighteen miles long with forty-two piers, handles between five and six million tons of cargo annually. And now, if you will look to your right, you should just be able to see the east section of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which is more than one mile long, spans the harbor from San Francisco to Marin County and the Red Wood Highway. It was completed in 1937 at a cost of thirty-two million dollars and is still one of the largest suspension bridges in the world. Questions 25 to 27 are based on the passage you’ve just heard: 25.

Passage 2 Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard:
[解析] 28-30 Man’s first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions. Because there are no wheels in nature--no living things was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot. It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts. Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you’ve just heard. 28. Why was it remarkable of man to invent the wheel? 答案暂缺

Passage 3 Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you have just heard:
[解析] 31-34 Good morning, and welcome to American studies101. I would like to begin this semester by discussing the region of the United States known as the Northeast. This region includes twelve states and a small area called the District of Columbia that is the home of the national government. The Northeast is a very important part of the United States, for although it covers only about six percent of the nation's geographical area, it contains approximately one- fourth of the country’s population. New York, the most popular city in the United States, and several other large cities are located in this region. Why are these twelve states so important? In the first place, the Northeast was one of the first sections of the country to be settled by Europeans. Busy cities developed there when most of America was still a sparsely settled wilderness. Many crucial events in the nation’s early history took place there. I’ll be describing some of those events Wednesday in my second lecture. Today the Northeast is a great manufacturing and trading region. Thousands of factories produce a wide variety of goods and provide other regions of the country with items they need. Many large manufacturing firms have their central headquarters here. Some of the country’s largest banks, investment agencies, and publishing houses are found in the Northeast. Several of its cities are noted for their fine museums. Some of the country’s best known colleges and universities are also located in this region. Finally the Northeast is the principal location for much of the country’s international trade. In the heart of this region New York City is the home of the United Nations. Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you’ve just heard: 31. When is the lecture probably given? 答案暂缺
2.
A.The people of the Northeast.
B.The significance of the Northeast.
C.The development of the United States.
D.The location of the nation's capital.
A B C D
[解析] What is this lecture mainly about? 答案暂缺
3.
A.Small area, small population.
B.Small area, large population.
C.Large area, small population.
D.Large area, large population.
A B C D
[解析] How is the Northeast described in the talk? 答案暂缺
4.
A.It is visited by many tourists.
B.It was never a wilderness like the rest of the country.
C.It is the home of many modern historians.
D.It is both a business and cultural center.
A B C D
[解析] According to the speaker why is the Northeast an important part of the United States today? 答案暂缺
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions: There are three 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 center. A well-established distinction in memory theory is that between short-term and long-term memory. The former refers to our ability to do such things as remember telephone numbers long enough to dial them; the latter－concerns the wide range of ways in which experiences can affect behavior many years later. Given the two different kinds of ability, it is reasonable to hypothesize that each is represented differently in the brain. An experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term memory implies a chemical change in the brain cells, while short-term memory involves patterns of impulses in circuits of nerve cells. One group of rats were taught to run through a maze. Five minutes after learning the task, they were cooled to 5℃, the temperature at which all electrical activity in the brain ceases. They were then kept at this temperature for 15 minutes before being allowed to return to their normal temperature. They were then run through the maze, again. A second group of rats were taught to run the same maze, and then immediately cooled to 5℃ for 15 minutes. Alter being allowed to return to their normal temperature, an attempt was made to run the second group through the maze again. It was found that rats in the first group had no difficulty with the maze the second time, suggesting that they did not have to relearn the task. Rats in the second group which was cooled immediately after learning the maze, on the other hand, could not negotiate the maze successfully, i.e. , they apparently could not remember what they had learned. It was concluded from this experiment that short-term memory (in rats, at least) is unlike long-term memory. Short-term memory involves electrical impulses since at a temperature where electrical activity ceases, there is no memory. Long-term memory, in contrast, is unaffected by the disruption of electrical activity and may involve structural changes in brain cells.
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The difference between short-term memory and long-term memory.
[解析] 记忆地址属于短期记忆。 [试题分析]本题测试的是分析判断能力。 [详细解答]本题的答案无法在文章中直接找到，但是第一段中清楚地提到记忆电话号码是属于短期记忆的(The former refers to our ability to do such things as remember telephone numbers long enough to dial them；…)，这句话中的前者指的就是短期记忆，以此类推记忆地址也应该是属于短期记忆，A项是本题的正确答案。
3. The experiments of two groups of rats indicate that _______.
A.temperature affects rats' memory
B.the relationship between temperature and memory is very clear
C.there is distinction between short-term memory and long-term memory
D.rats can relearn the task after forgetting it
A B C D
C
[解析] 两组老鼠的实验显示了短期记忆和长期记忆之间有区别。 [试题分析]本题测试的是归纳总结的能力。 [详细解答]从文章第三和第四段可以很容易地推断出结论，而且文章最后一段开始也提到了实验的结论是短期记忆不像长期记忆(It was concluded from this experiment that short-term memory(in rats，at least)is unlike long-term memory．)。由此可见C应该是本题的正确答案。
4. If rats are cooled to 5℃ for 15 minutes immediately, what will happen after being allowed to return to their normal temperature?
A.They have no difficult in crossing the same maze.
B.They lose their way in the maze.
C.They can remember the way correctly.
D.They go through the maze after several trying.
A B C D
B
[解析] 如果老鼠体温立刻降至5摄氏度长达15分钟，在它们被恢复到正常体温之后将会发生什么事? [试题分析]本题测试的是理解判断能力。 [详细解答]文章在第三段中提到的这类老鼠的反映是：Rats in the second group which waft cooled immediately after learning the maze，on the other hand，could not negotiate the maze successfully，i．e．，theyapparently could not remember what they had learned．由此可见本题的最佳选项是B项“它们在迷宫中迷路了”。
5. Electrical impulses affect _______.
A.long-term memory
B.short-term memory
C.structural changes
D.brain cells
A B C D
B
[解析] 电脉冲影响短期记忆。 [试题分析]本题是道细节题。 [详细解答]本题答案的选择依据在文章最后一段: Short- term memory involves electrical impulses since at a temperature where electrical activity ceases, there is no memory. Long- term memory, in contrast, is unaffected by the disruption of electrical activity and may involve structural changes in brain cells．B项是符合本题要求的正确选项。
By the middle of the 18th century, many different kinds of Protestants lived in America. Al though the Church of England was an established church in several colonies, Protestants lived side by side in relative harmony. Already they had begun to influence each other. The Great Awakening of the 1740s, a "revival" movement which sought to breathe new feeling and strength into religion, cut across the lines of Protestant religious groups, or denominations. At the same time the works of John Locke were becoming known in America. John Locke reasoned that the right to govern comes from an agreement or "social contract" voluntarily entered into by free people. The Puritan experience in forming congregations made this idea seem natural to many Americans. Taking it out of the realm of social theory, they made it a reality and formed a nation. It was politics and not religion that most occupied Americans' minds during the War of Independence and for years afterward. A few Americans were so influenced by the new science and new ideas of the Enlightenment in Europe that they became deists, believing that reason teaches that God exists but leaves man free to settle his own affairs. Many traditional Protestants and deists could agree, however, that. as the Declaration of Independence states," all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain un alienable rights," and that "the laws of Nature and Nature' s God" entitled them to form a new nation. Among the rights that the new nation guaranteed, as a political necessity in a religiously diverse society, was freedom of religion. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States forbade the new federal government to give special favors to any religion or to hinder the free practice, or exercise, of religion. The United States would have no state-supported religion. In this way, those men who formulated the principal tenets of the newly established political system hoped to insure that diversity of religious belief would never become the source of social or political injustice or disaffection. The First Amendment insured that American government would not meddle in religious affairs or require any religious beliefs of its citizens. But did it mean that government would be religiously neutral, treating all religions alike? In some ways, the government supports all religions. Religious groups do not pay taxes in the United States. Presidents and other political leaders often call on God to bless the American nation and people. Those whose religion forbids them to fight can perform other services instead of becoming soldiers. But government does not pay ministers salaries or require any belief－not even a belief in God－as a condition of holding public office. Oaths are administered, but those who, like Quakers, object to them, can make a solemn affirmation, or declaration, instead. The truth is that for some purposes government ignores religion and for other purposes it treats all religions alike at least as far as is practical. When disputes about the relationship between government and religion arise, American courts must settle them.
6. What is the Great Awakening?
A.To cut across the lines of Protestant religious groups or denomination.
B.A revival movement of seeking to breathe new feeling and strength into religion.
C.To live side by side in relative harmony.
D.To spread religious idea to other countries.
A B C D
B
[解析] 什么是宗教大复兴? [试题分析]本题是道细节题。 [详细解答]十八世纪四十年代的宗教大复兴运动，文章在其首段用-非限制性定语从句给予了简单说明：a“ revival”movement which Sought to breathe new feeling and strength into religion．这是一个旨在唤起日渐淡薄的宗教观念的宗教大复兴运动，因此本题的正确答案应为B项“一个旨在给宗教注入新的感觉和力量的复兴运动”。A项是宗教大复兴运动所引的结果，非本题答案，因而舍弃。C项离题千里而D项文章中根本未提，故均排除。
7. What controlled Americans' minds during the War of Independence?
A.Politics.
B.Religion.
C.Protestants.
D.Church.
A B C D
A
[解析] 在独立战争期间，主宰美国人的思想的是什么? [试题分析]本题是对文章的句意理解进行测试。 [详细解答]文章在第三段开头就清楚地交待了：It was politics and not religion that most occupied Americans' minds during the War of Independence and for years afterward．(是政治而非宗教在独立战争及以后的岁月里占据了美国人的思想)。由此可见，本题的正确答案毫无疑问应是A项。
8. ________ entitled American to have the freedom of religion.
A.The First Amendment
B.The Constitution of the United States
C.American Government
D.The Declaration of Independence
A B C D
D
[解析] 《独立宣言》授予美国人宗教自由。 [试题分析]本题是对文章段落的理解进行考查。 [详细解答]本题答案的依据在文章的第四段：Many traditional Protestants and deists could agree，however，that，as the Declaration of Independence states．…entitled them to form a new nation．Among the rights that the new nation guaranteed，…，was freedom of religion．由此可见在《独立宣言》之规定中，新政府保证了公民所享有的种种权力，其中一项就是宗教信仰的自由。因此D项应该是本题的正确答案。
9. In the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, it is stipulated that ________
A.the government can entitle state-supported religion to enjoy some special rights
B.the government can not take any action to limit the practice of any religion
C.the United States would have no national religion
D.the government will not intervene in the social or political injustice or
A B C D
B
[解析] 在美国宪法第一修正案中规定政府不能采取任何行动限制任何宗教的活动。 [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章句意的理解。 [详细解答]美国宪法第一修正案中有关政府对宗教的规定。文章在第五段给予了阐明：The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States for- bade the new federal government to give special favors to any religion or to hinder the free practice, or exercise，of religion．(美国宪法第一修正案禁止新联邦政府对任一宗教给予特殊偏爱或者阻碍宗教的自由行动)。因此B项政府不能采取任何行动以限制任一宗教的行动与此相符，是本题的正确答案。A项政府授予国家支持的宗教享有特定的权力和c项美国没有全国性宗教，与文章内容不尽相符。D项政府将不介入社会或政治上的不公平或不满在文章中根本未提及，因此这三项应该排除。
10. Which of the following is the proof that the government ignores religion in some ways?
A.Religious group need not pay taxes in the United States.
B.President seldom calls on God to bless America and its people.
C.For those who, like Quakers, object to them, oaths can be replaced by a solemn affirmation or declaration.
D.For those whose religion forbids them to fight, performing other services can take the place of being soldiers.
A B C D
C
[解析] 下面哪一项是在某种方面政府忽视了宗教的证据? [试题分析]本题是道细节题。 [详细解答]文章在倒数第二段中提到了政府对宗教的态度具有两面性。从某些方面来说，政府支持所有的宗教，但从另一方面来说，却并非如此，文中为说明此点而举的事例即为：Oaths are administered，but those who，like Quakers，object to them， can make a solemn affirmation，or declaration，instead．(在进行宣誓时，贵格派，可以用庄严的承诺或宣告代替)。显而易见，本题的正确答案应为C项“像贵阁派那样反对宣誓的人可以用庄严的承诺或宣告来代替”而非其它三项。
Between the end of the Second World War and the early sixties, a baby boom occurred in the U. S, and people born during that period were known as the "baby boomers.” Bill Clinton is no doubt a typical representative of that generation. Like the 1992 general elections, the presidential election of 1997 was not merely a skirmish between two political parties but also a generation war between the "baby boomers" and the G. I. generation represented by Bush and Dole. Clinton's triumph signaled a shift of U. S. political power from the older generation to the younger one, and reflects developments of far reaching significance in today's American politics. William Jefferson Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in the mountain city of Hope, Arkansas. In English, "Hope" means "xiwang.” No wonder that later on Clinton's supporters often called him "the man from the city of hope." The family circumstances of Clinton's childhood years were very unfortunate. Clinton's own father died in a traffic accident 3 months before Clinton was born. His stepfather, Roger Clinton, was a habitual drunkard, which caused discord in the family. Such an experience helped Clinton become a man who knew his own mind, had self-restraint and self-control, and was adept at competition. Self-reliant, diligent and hard working, Clinton gained a good education. In the fall of 1964, he enrolled in Georgetown University in Washington D. C., and majored in international politics. After graduation, he won the famous Rhodes scholarship and pursued advanced studies for 2 years in England's Oxford University. In 1971 he entered Yale University's law college and obtained a doctorate in law two years later. During his university days, Clinton actively participated in the students' movement against the Vietnam War, avoided army enlistment, and took a-trip to Moscow in 1976. These experiences helped him mature early, but left him vulnerable to political controversies later, and branded him as a young liberal. After leaving Yale, Clinton returned to his hometown in Arkansas where he began his political career. In 1974, when he was not quite 28, he formally campaigned for congress. His vivid and dramatic first attempt greatly intimidated his opponents. Though defeated in his campaign, his political talent received affirmation in news and political circles, winning him the title of "child prodigy". In 1976, Clinton won the post of State Attorney General. In 1978, he succeeded in his campaign for the Governorship and at 32 became the youngest governor in the history of the state of Arkansas. In 1980, he lost to the Republicans in his campaign for reelection but two years later staged him a comeback that won him the nickname of "undefeatable kid. " He kept the Governorship right up until January 1993, when he officially became the master of the White House. His first term of office expired in 1997, but he defeated republican Dole and was reelected, and as served as President up until the present. In October 1997, when China's President Jiang Zemin visited the U. S., he and President Clinton reached unanimity in the setting up of a constructive, strategic partnership for the 21st Century. President Clinton has announced this year that he will move up his visit to China to the end of June in order to give fresh impetus to the development and improvement of Sino-U. S. relations.

A.between Clinton and Dole

Section B Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive weapons and the discovery of fire, although nobody knows exactly when he acquires the use of the latter. The origin of language is also obscure. No doubt it began very gradually. Animals have a few cries that serves as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think that in this respect picture language preceded oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I am inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man. Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the domestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible an immense increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practised. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agriculture way of life prevailed in the end because of the physical comforts it provided. Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.
1. What topic is the passage mainly concerned with?
2. What are the two mysteries that have remained unknown to the modern people?
When man began to use fire and language．
[解析] 本题利用原文所给信息进行归纳得出答案。 [详细解答]文章第一段提到“The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive weapons and the discovery of fire ,although nobody knows exactly when he acquires the use of the latter．”也就是说人们不知道早期的人类是什么时候发现火的；第二段第一句也指出“The origin of language is also obscure．”即我们也不知道人类语言是何时起源的。
3. Why do other higher animals fail to use language as man does?
They don ' t have the human superior brain．
[解析] 本题可从原文相关内容直接找到答案。 [详细解答]文中第二段谈到“Animals have a few cries that serves as signals．but even the highest apes have not been f10und able to pronounce words．even with the most intensive professional instruction．The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering 0f speech．”动物即使接受最精心最专业的指导，也无法说出单词，因此，人的高级大脑是掌握语言的必须条件。
4. In the author's eyes, what development is the most significant one in the human history?
Agriculture．
[解析] 本题可从原文相关内容直接找到答案。 [详细解答]文章第三段提到“Agriculture was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age．”农业的出现是人类发展的最关键一步，只有后来的机械时代才能与之相比。故在作者的眼里，农业是人类历史上最具意义的发展。
5. How many inventions and discoveries made by man are mentioned in the passage?
Part Ⅳ Writing Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition, on the topic "The Limitations of Book Knowledge". You should write no less than 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline ( given in Chinese) below.
1. 1．书本是知识的重要来源。 2．但书本知识具有局限性。 3．因此…
写作指导
现在越来越提倡素质教育，不提倡学生读死书，死读书，而应从各种活动中掌握各种各样的知识，从而提高学生的整体素质。所以像这种“书本知识具有局限性”(The Limitations Of Book Knowledge)的话题也可能成为六级写作考试的热门话题。本题根据所给提纲，应写出以下三层意思：首先，文章应承认书本知识的重要性(books are the main sources of human knowledge)，但是随着社会的发展，书本知识越来越不能满足学生们日益增长的知识需求，故而可自然地引出第二层意思，书本知识具有一定的局限性，books can never cover all the things and happenings in the world，最后，文章应指出，当代的学生不应仅从书本获得知识，还应从具体的实践活动和对客观世界的仔细观察中获得知识。
The Limitations of Book Knowledge
People may think that the most important task of a college student is to study natural or social sciences which ale taught in books，because books are the main sources of human knowledge，and summaries 0f what people have acquired in their struggle with nature and society．Moreover，with the rapid develop- merit of modern society，book knowledge is renewed from time to time．Thus，students are often expected to acquire as much knowledge as possible from books． However．books can never cover all the things and happenings in the world．1f one has not．1earned anything beyond the books，it is difficult for him to cope with some practical problems arising in his future work． Since we are aware of the limitations 0f book knowledge，We should not confine our learning to books．In order to work competently，we should also acquire our knowledge and develop our ability through practice and keen observation of the world.
