大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷384
仔细阅读
People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It\’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as \\
1.The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem______.(A)
A. why one’s behaviors differ from others’
B. what makes different stages of intelligence
C. how social scientists form different theories
D. what causes the \\
解析：原文开头两段指出作者要讨论的问题，第2段末开始从两个方面解释该问题，末段是总结段，从文章的结构可见文章要探讨的是人类行为如何形成。从选项来看，似乎没有一个表达此意，但首段末句和第2段第2句中的why…从句表明how(怎样形成)和why(为什么不同)其实是对文章关注的问题的两个不同表述，故选A。
2.The word \\(B)
A. approaches
B. advocates
C. principles
D. characters
解析：从第4段首句可以比较明显看出proponents和该句中的they以及behaviorists所指相同，由此可见，proponents一词指的应该是人；第5段第3句也表明proponents是指人，只有选项B符合。A“方法”、C“原则”和D“特征”，都不适合。
3.Which of the following statements may be supported by the \\(A)
A. We are born with certain personalities and behaviors.
B. Environment has nothing to do with our personalities.
C. Abilities and characteristics are revealed by behaviors.
D. Only extreme behaviors are determined by instinct
解析：第3段首句中的determined by biological and genetic factor和末句中的governed by our instincts都表明“天性论”派会认同选项A的看法。第3段第2句表明选项B中的has nothing to do with…不正确：原文并未提及选项C中提到的能力、特点和行为之间的关系；选项D只是将第3段末句的某些词语拼凑在一起，原文并未讨论有关extreme behaviors的内容。
4.What can we learn about the behaviorists?(C)
A. They believe human beings are mechanical.
B. They compare our behaviors to the machines.
C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.
D. They uphold that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.
解析：本题实际上考查对第4段末句的正确理解。原文该句中的like machines，humans respond…表明作者并非单纯把人类比作机器，而是把人类对环境的反应与机械对环境的反应作类比，故选项C正确。
5.The \\(D)
A. are the result of the educational disadvantages
B. are a manifestation of the blacks’ poor intelligence
C. have nothing to do with their true intelligence
D. have nothing to do with factors other than heredity
解析：由第5段第3句“这导致一些‘天性论’者断定黑人天生就比白人低下”，可以确定选项D为本题答案。选项A是另一派，即行为主义者的看法；原文该处虽也有intelligent一词，但是“天性论”者关注的并非分数与智力之间的关系，他们关注的是造成黑人在智力测试中分数低下的原因，事实上，原文也没有提到分数和智力之间是否存在某种关系，因此选项B和C都没有原文依据。
Depending on which player you ask, the \\
6.How does Adidas describe the \\(A)
A. The experience provided by the ball is the best so far.
B. The ball is almost impossible to control because of its large size.
C. The ball has gone through a long way of development.
D. The experience provided by the ball is most welcome by strikers.
解析：首段首句中的ultimate soccer experience表明Adidas公司认为“飞火流星”是迄今为止最完美的足球，因此选项A为本题答案。
7.What does the author think about the Syntactic foam and unique Raschel fabric that are used to make the ball?(B)
A. T
