You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage On
11、eQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victims family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Sov
12、iet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post.These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,” may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair.The difference between the two business
13、 cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authoritythe responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had it
14、s own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.”Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to busin
15、esses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. S
16、uch personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business.Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除)
17、the community of dishonor,” and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of respon
18、sibility, If, for instance, US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, negotiations would probably take on a very different character. 21. Why did the chairman of Toshiba resign his position in 1987?A) In Japan, the leakage
19、 of a slate secret to Russians is a grave came.B) He had been under attack for shifting responsibility to his subordinates.C) In Japan, the chief executive of a corporation is held res 上一篇英语： 六级试题六级听力原文及译文下一篇英语： 六级试题6月六级考试试题查看更多关于大学六级的文章网友同时还浏览了：六级词汇题精解(2)六级词汇题精解(1)12月新六级英语真题快速阅读12月新六级英语真题：汉译英06年12月

24、s Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As machines go, the car is not terribly noisy, nor terribly polluting, nor terribly dangerous; and on all those dimensions it has become better as the century has grown older. The main problem is its prevalence, and the social costs
25、that ensue from the use by everyone of something that would be fairly harmless if, say, only the rich were to use it. It is a price we pay for equality.Before becoming too gloomy, it is worth recalling why the car has been arguably the most successful and popular product of the whole of the past 100
26、 yearsand remains so. The story begins with the environmental improvement it brought in the 1900s. In New York city in 1900, according to the Car Culture. A 1975 book by J. Flink, a historian, horses deposited 2.5 millioo pounds of manure(粪)and 60,000 gallons of urine (尿) every day. Every year, the
27、city authorities had to remove an average of 15,000 dead horses from the streets, It made cars smell of roses.Cars were also wonderfully flexible. The main earlier solution to horse pollution and traffic jams was the electric trolley bus (电车). But that required fixed overhead wires, and rails and pl
28、atforms, which were expensive, ugly, and inflexible, The car could go from any A to any B, and allowed towns to develop in all directions with low-density housing, rather than just being concentrated along the trolley or rail lines. Rural areas benefited too, for they became less remote.However, sin
29、ce pollution became a concern in the 1950s, experts have predictedwronglythat the car boom was about to end. In his book Mr. Flink argued that by 1973 the American market had become saturated, at one car for every 2.25 people, and so had the markets of Japan and Western Europe (because of land short
30、ages). Environmental worries and diminishing oil reserves would prohibit mass car use anywhere else.He was wrong, Between 1970 and 1990, whereas Americas population grew by 23%, the aumber of cars on its roads grew by 60%, There is now one car for every 1.7 people there, one for every 2.1 in Japan,
31、one for every 5.3 in Britain. Around 550 million cars are already on the roads, not to mention all the trucks and mocorcyeles, and about 50 million new ones are made each year worldwide. Will it go on? Undoubtedly, because people want it to. 26. As is given in the first paragraph, the reason why the
32、 car has become a problem is that _.A) poor people cant afford itB) it is too expensive to maintainC) too many people are using itD) it causes too many road accidents 27. According to the passage, the car started to gain popularity because _.A) it didnt break down as easily as a horseB) it had a com
33、paratively pleasant odorC) it caused less pollution than horsesD) it brightened up the gloomy streets 28. What impact did the use of cars have on society?A) People were compelled to leave downtown areas.B) People were able to live in less crowded suburban areas.C) Business along trolley and rail lin
34、es slackened.D) City streets were free of ugly overhead wires. 29. Mr.Flink argued in his book that cars would not be widely used in other countries because _.A) the once booming car market has become saturatedB) traffic jams in those countries are getting more and more seriousC) expensive motorways

Whats wrong with Mr.Flin
36、ks prediction?A) The use of automobiles has kept increasing worldwide.B) New generations of cars are virtually pollution free.C) The population of America has not increased as fast.D) Peoples environmental concerns are constantly increasing. Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following
37、 passage.Crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society. Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, on joy, typically make Americans feel uncomforuble and embarrassed. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating (毁灭性的) tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely t
38、o do everything possible to put an end to the emotional outpouring. But judging form recent studies of crying behavior, links between illness and crying and the chemical composition of tears, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive.Humans are the only
39、animals definitely known to shed emotiomal tears. Since evolution has given rise to few, if any, purposeless physiological responset, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that enhance survival.Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to clicit assistance f
40、orm others (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention, So, it appears, there must be something special about tears themselves.Indeed, the new studies suggest that
41、emotional tears may play a direct role in alleviating stress, University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently isolated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to cmotion. Tears
42、 shed because of exposure to =cut onion would contain no such substance.Researchers at several other institutions are investigating the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs.At Tulane Universitys Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr.Peter Kastl and his colleagues report
43、 that they can use tears to detect drug abuse and exposure to medication(药物), to determine whether a contact lens fits properly of why it may be uncomfortable, to study the causes of “dry eye” syndrome and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.A
44、t Columbia University Dt.Liasy Faris and colleagues are studying tears for clues to the diagnosis of diseases away from the eyes. Tears can be obtained painlessly without invading the body and only tiny amounts are needed to perform highly refined analyses. 31. It is known from the first paragraph t
45、hat _.A) shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to AmericanB) crying may often imitate people or even result in tragedyC) crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD) one who sheds tears in public will be blamed 32. What does “both those responses to tears”(Line 6, Para, 1) refer to?A) Crying
46、out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.B) The embarrassment and unpleasant sensation of the observers.C) The tear shedders apology and the observers effort to stop the crying.D) Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears. 33. “Counterproductive” (Lines 6-7, Par
47、a,1) very probably means “_”.A) having no effect at allB) leading to tensionC) producing disastrous impactD) harmful to health 34. What does the author say about crying?A) It is a pointless physiological response to the environment.B) It must have a role to play in mans survival.C) It is meant to get attention and assistance.D) It usually produces the desired effect. 35. What can be inferred from the new studies o
