英語六級閱讀強化練習題原文

　　Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirabl that all A youngsters change into B's. The worldneeds A types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to hispossible future employment. It is top management.

　　If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spentteaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions.especially medicine,could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivityand sympathy. It is surely a mistaketo choose our doctors exclusively from A-type stock. B'sare important and should be encouraged.

　　英語六級閱讀強化練習題答案

　　1.[inherent]

　　[定位]根據題干中的the effect of the environment，personality，largely查找到首段。

　　解析：題干是對原文首段的近義改寫，the effect of the environment對應原文中的第2句話，largely為原文第1句中a large extent的同義表達，所以空白處應填A inherent。

　　2.[being too keen to win]

　　[定位]根據題干中的A-type，competitive，cause，dangerous consequences查找到第2段最后兩句。

　　解析：空白處缺少主語，原文倒數第2句中的competitive A-types對應題干的前半句，題干lead toserious consequences是最后一句中can have dangerous consequences的同義替換，所以being tookeen to win為答案。

　　3.[competition by examination]

　　[定位]根據題干中的doubts about,the virtue和fail查找到第3段末句。

　　解析：本句說的是，作者質疑考試這種競爭方式，因為對一些孩子而言。明知是短處、肯定會失敗而做無謂的競爭，這種競爭是無益的。doubts about和the virtue對應原文中的questionable和the merits，而題目中because從句是對原文in the certain knowledge of failure的近義改寫，所以competition byexamination為答案。

　　4.[his possible future employment]

　　[定位]根據題干中的top management，a child's personality查找到第4段第2、3句。

　　解析：該段末句中It指代上句的內容，即努力讓孩子的性格適合他們將來可能從事的職業，原文personalityto后的內容為本題答案。

　　5.[good grades in chemistry/academic achievements]

　　[定位]根據題干中的selection，professionals查找到末段前兩句。

　　解析：原文說希望今后選拔醫務人員時應更關注候選人的情感，比如是否敏感，是否有同情心，而不是一味地看成績(good grades in chemistry)。由此可得知，現在的選拔制度注重的是成績。本題答案也可歸納為academic achievements。
