大学英语六级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷384
作文
1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled The Value of University Life. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.
University is where we can gain knowledge and friends that both benefit our future life. But as far as I am concerned, the value of university life is that I gradually master the wisdom of choice.
First of all, university provides a wide range of choices for us and we have to learn how to judge wisely. As a university student, we are familiar with the feeling of being overwhelmed by choices: which selective courses to pick, which societies to join or even who to make friends with. There is no silver bullet to solve all these puzzles once and for all. We might need to solicit information from junior and senior students to make an informed choice. Secondly, the choosing sharpens our analytical skill. For example, when we decide to drop Contemporary Dramas in the West and pick Literature Theories, we have to weigh the gains and losses of each course. The more choices we make, the more analysis we have to perform, and the better our analytical skill will get.
In conclusion, the value of university life is the wisdom of choice, which makes us intelligent and discerning.

词汇理解
The English national character is dualistic: One aspect is conservative, the other extroverted (性格外向的). The pub is a fine example of the conservative aspect of English character. The pub, unlike the bar in the U.S., is a focal【C1】________for the \\
2.【C1】
G
解析:此处需填入由focal(焦点的)修饰的名词,不定冠词a提示此空为可数名词的单数形式。上文提到酒吧是英国人性格中保守面的例证,空格后具体说明了酒吧不浮华,布置得就像起居室。故本句应该说酒吧是本地人的 “聚点”,point跟focal搭配可表此意。
3.【C2】
B
解析:此处需填入spiritual修饰的名词,与fellowship(伙伴关系)一起说明去教堂的原因。去教堂应该是为了心灵上的“觉悟”,enlightenment“启迪;觉悟”与宗教相关,故为答案。
4.【C3】
L
解析:此处需填入修饰hours的形容词或分词。这一段主要讲英国酒吧的保守方面,都是好的一面,因此空格处应为褒义的词。根据最后一句的with control(右节制)和in good taste(品味好),可知respectable“正派的”最合适,指酒吧开放的时间很正规。
5.【C4】
D
解析:此处需填入名词,为represents的宾语。从上文提及的英国人的酒吧生活和酒吧的营业时间,可知pleasure符合上下文语义,表示酒吧代表了有节制、有品味的娱乐方式。
6.【C5】
O
解析:此处需填入动词分词或形容词。下文的the same control that is found…表明空格处的语义应与found相近,exemplified“举例说明”符合,下文具体说到的英国人幽默的例子也印证了exemplified正确。下文只是用简短的例子举例说明,并没有详述,故排除amplified“详述”。
7.【C6】
I
解析:此处需填入nothing的后置定语,为形容词或分词。根据comedy shows(喜剧表演)选择funny“可笑的”,句子表示大部分美国人觉得英国的喜剧没有什么可笑之处。
8.【C7】
J
解析:此处需填入由of living限定的名词。下文提到英国人自觉排队的情形,这可看作英国人的“生活节奏”,pace “节奏;速度”与living搭配,符合语境。
9.【C8】
C
解析:此处应填入由of与adventurous(冒险的)和innovative(创新的)并列的形容词或分词,形容英国人的性格。下文提到留着长发的Beatles作为例子,对这类摇滚歌星的描述用bizarre(奇异的;古怪的)最为恰当,而非orthodox “正统的;传统的”。
10.【C9】
E
解析:此处需填入动词的过去分词,与have构成完成时态。空格所在的that定语从句修饰their long hair and sounds,说明披头士乐队的长发和声音对一代摇滚歌星和青少年的“影响”或“作用”,故选择influenced“影响”。
11.【C10】
N
解析:此处需填入修饰谓语动词categorizes(分类)的副词。根据空格后的forces him to…(强迫他……),可推断把个人进行分类是一个长期的过程,故constantly“经常地,不断地”最合适。
