1、大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷 107及答案与解析 Section A 0 Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the US economy soar during the 90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the hi
2、gh-technology【 C1】 _But how? In the late 90s, the answer seemed obvious: Indians. After all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would lure Indians to Germany just as America does: by offering green cards. Officials
3、 created something called the German Green Card and【 C2】 _that they would issue 20 000 in the first year. Naturally, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the【 C3】 _would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later 【

Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, but I understood something about green cards, because I had o
5、ne(the American version). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, because it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The US green card, by contrast, is an almost【 C7】 _path to becoming American(after five years and a clean record). The official【 C8】 _my objection, s
6、aying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “We need young tech workers,“ he said. “Thats what this program is all about. “ So Germany was asking bright young professionals to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new la

By that logic, 2006 shoul
9、d have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9 - 11 still【 C1】 _in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in US history, on live TV. Anyone who didnt know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made m

But a【 C5】 _of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at protecting themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we ever did about the dangers we face. But
12、it turns out that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is【 C6】 _the storm, the quake or the surge itself. More often, it is ourselves. So what has happened in the year that【 C7】 _the disaster on the Gulf Coast? In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineer has worked day and night to rebuild the floo
13、d walls. They have got the walls to where they were before Katrina, more or less. Thats not enough, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all that can be expected from one year of hustle(忙碌 ). Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to【 C8】 _the sick and
14、the disabled. The city estimates that 150 000 people will need a【 C9】 _out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken.

The visit was a triumph, and he said to a friend excitedly, “I was able to【 C1】 _Hilbert of the general theory of relativity.“ Amid all of Einsteins personal turmoil(焦躁 )at the time, a

He was struggling to find the right equations that would【 C3】_his new concept of gravity, ones that would define how objects move through space and how space is curved by objects. By the end of the summer, he【 C4】_the mathematical approach he had been purs

Einstein discovered to his horror that Hilbert had taken what he had learned from Einsteins lectures and was racing to come up with the correct equations first. It was an enormously complex task. Although Einstein was the be

So in October 1915 Einstein【 C6】 _himself into a month-long frantic endeavor in which he returned to an earlier mathematical strategy and wrestled with equations, proofs, corrections and updates that he【 C7】 _to give as lectures to Berlins Prussi

His first lecture was delivered on Nov. 4, 1915, and it explained his new approach, though he admitted he did not yet have the precise mathematical formulation of it. Einstein also took time off from【 C9】 _revising his equations to engage in an awkward
