4. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.7-Exercise 01 J) For some people, the best solution is to live in a communal residence, with special services. This isn’t available everywhere, however. In Boston, for example, homeless people tend to be scattered in apartments throughout the city.

B. Some people think the best way to help the homeless is to provide them with communal housing.

5. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.8-Exercise 02 O) Nick Perks, project director for Climate Solidarity, believes this sort of activity is where the future of environmental action lies. “Using existing civil society structures or networks is a more effective way of creating change... and obviously trade unions are one of the biggest civil society networks in the UK,” he says. The “Love Food, Hate Waste” campaign entered into a collaboration last year with another such network – the Women’s Institute. Londoner Rachel Taylor joined the campaign with the aim of making new friends. A year on, the meetings have made lasting changes to what she throws away in her kitchen. “It’s always more of an incentive if you’re doing it with other people,” she says. “It motivates you more if you know that you’ve got to provide feedback to a group.”

A. Existing social networks can be more effective in creating change in people’s behaviour.

B. Housing the homeless is only the first step to solving all their problems.

答案: Existing social networks can be more effective in creating change in people’s behaviour.

6. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.11-Exercise 01 E) But the momentum of incandescent lighting does not stop there. All of those specialized bulbs led to the building of specialized light fixtures, from the desk lamp you study by, to the ugly but beloved hand-painted Chinese lamp you inherited from your grandmother, to the ceiling fixture in your closet, to the light in your oven or refrigerator, and to the light that the dentist points at you. It is easy to change a light bulb, sure, but it is harder to change the bulb and its fixture.

A. The author suggests a return to the true spirit of the market.

B. Changing a light bulb is easier than changing the fixture housing it.

答案: Changing a light bulb is easier than changing the fixture housing it.

7. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.12-Exercise 02 M) Using the latest Census Bureau data, Matthew Slaughter found that from 2000 to 2010 the real earnings of college graduates (with no advanced degree) fell by more in percentage terms than the earnings of high school graduates. In fact, over this period the only education category to show an increase in earnings was those with advanced degrees.

A. In the first decade of the 21st century, only people with postgraduate degrees experienced an increase in earnings.

B. Big banks have been reluctant to switch to more secure technology because of the higher costs involved.

8. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.13-Exercise 01 G) The second line of research often used to justify single-sex education falls squarely within my area of expertise: brain and cognitive development. It’s been more than a decade now since the “brain sex movement” began infiltrating our schools, and there are literally hundreds of schools caught up in the fad. Public schools in Wisconsin, Indiana, Florida and many other states now proudly declare on their websites that they separate boys and girls because “research solidly indicates that boys and girls learn differently,” due to “hard-wired” differences in their brains, eyes, ears, autonomic nervous systems, and more.

A. One recent study warns us of the danger of the exhaustion of natural resources on Earth.

B. Hundreds of schools separate boys from girls in class on the alleged brain and cognitive differences.

A. Each business acts its own way in green labeling.

11. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.17-Exercise 02 Economic inequality is the “defining challenge of our time,” President Barack Obama declared in a speech last month to the Center for American Progress. Inequality is dangerous, he argued, not merely because it doesn’t look good to have a large gap between the rich and the poor, but because inequality itself destroys upward mobility, making it harder for the poor to escape from poverty. “Increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream,” he said. How does Obama view economic inequality?

A. It is the most malicious social evil of our time.

B. It is a positive response to changed circumstances.

C. It is the biggest obstacle to social mobility.

D. It is an attempt to combat the economic recession.

12. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.20-Exercise 01 One hundred years ago, “Colored” was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for “Negro.” By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by “Black.” And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that “African American” was the term to embrace. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as “Italian Americans” and “Irish Americans,” that had already been freed of widespread discrimination. Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term “African American” for people of African descent?

A. It follows the standard naming practice.

B. It is more accurate and scientific in terms of statistics.

C. It encouraged them to embark on a political career.

D. It is free from racial biases.

13. 【单选题】 Cet-6-1.20-Exercise 02 “The grim economy seems to make the participants keener than ever to think ‘out of the box’ in the way poetry encourages,” he told me. I’m not suggesting that poetry will guide our legislators to wisdom any more than prayer has. Just that it might make them a little more human. Poetry is no substitute for courage or competence, but properly applied, it is a challenge to self-certainty, which we currently have in excess. Poetry serves as a spur to creative thinking, a reproach to dogma and habit, a remedy to the current fashion for pledge signing. What was the impact of the poetry session on the program participants according to Professor Filreis?

A. It led them to think poetry indispensable to management.

B. It inspired them to view things from broader perspectives.

C. It can help to locate profitable niches.

D. It is noted for its detailed data analysis.
