　　英語六級考試選詞填空強化題答案

　　1.選B)。從文章的第一句they love and respect few thins more than a uniform“他們又無比熱愛和崇尚制服”，說明了制服在美國很受歡迎。因此選項B)popular符合原文意思。選項中的professional“職業的”、practical“實用的”和ordinary“普通的，平常的”都不符合第一段的意思。

　　2.選F)。此處應填形容詞。從more...than civilian clothes可知，此處要填的形容詞意思與civilian相對，說明制服的特點。選項中的形容詞中只有professional“職業的”和civilian相對的，故F)正確。而pratical“實用的”和ordinary“平常的”意思都不能和civilian對應，故排除。

　　3.選K)。由be conditioned to do sth.“習慣于”可知，此處應填動詞原形。從前面的look more“看起來更...”和后面的tend to“傾向于”可知，這段要說明的是人們的主觀印象，應填入表示“期望(得到)”的單詞，只有K)expect符合原文語氣。選項中get“得到”與上下文的語氣不符合。

　　4.選I)。此處應填動詞原形。從原文中“人們習慣...從穿制服的人那兒得到優質服務。”可知，人們更信任穿制服的人，即制服能使人產生信任感。選項中的動詞原形中只有inspire“使產生”符合文章。

　　5.選A)。此處應填名詞。前面兩句表達了人們對穿制服的人更加信任的意思，那么對于garage mechanic“汽車修理工”來說，人們信任的是它的技術，而不是人品，故選項中只有A)skill符合原文意思。

　　6.選N)。此處應填動詞。...step out of uniform“脫掉制服”是對護士、警察等來說是......職業身份的很簡單的方式。脫下制服就是失去了職業身份，由此可以推知此處應填N)lose。

　　7.選L)。此處應填形容詞，說明制服的其他有點。從下文“...節省購買其他衣服的開銷，節省洗衣費用，比便服更舒適也更耐穿”可知，制服除了增加信任感還有實際的優點。選項中的pratical“實用的”和ordinary“平常的”，很明顯L)pratical符合原文意思。

　　8.選H)。此處應填名詞。文章手段就說“美國人為自己的多元化和個性化感到高傲無比，然而他們又無比熱愛和崇尚制服”，其中包含制服使他們失去自己的個性的意思，那么聯系第一段，此處指出的制服的缺點即為失去個性，故選項H)individuality正確。individuality強調與他人特點的區別，而character指的是個人特定的內在本質。

　　9.選D)。此處應填名詞。前面說制服讓人失去了個性，雖然有很多種制服，但穿上制服的人直至退休都是那件制服，所有是沒有變化的，故此處應填change，故D)正確。

　　10.選E)。此處應填副詞，修飾動詞act。前面指出...look alike,they tend to...，說明此處填的詞和alike意思相近。選項種副詞有similarly和differently，很明顯，E)similarly與alike意思相近，故選E)。

　　ALTHOUGH he is still (1) things up at Dell, an ailing computer-maker, Carl Icahn has found time to tilt at another tech titan. On August 13th the veteran shareholder activist (2) that he had built up a stake in Apple, though he stayed mum about exactly how many shares he had bought. Mr Icahn’s intentions, however, are crystal clear: he wants the consumer-electronics behemoth to expand plans to return some of its whopping $147 billion of cash and marketable securities to shareholders.

　　Mr Icahn is also after more money at Dell, where he has been lobbying with allies against a (3) buy-out plan put forward by Michael Dell, the firm’s founder, and Silver Lake, a private-equity firm. His pressing has already forced the buy-out group to raise its initial offer by over $350m, to $24.8 billion and he has taken his (4) to the courts in a bid to extract an even higher price.

　　Other tech firms have been attracting the attention of activist investors too. Earlier this year Value Act Capital, an investment fund, said it had built up a $2 billion stake in Microsoft. Jaguar Financial, a Canadian bank, has been (5) fresh thinking at troubled BlackBerry, which announced on August 12th that it is exploring various (6) options, including alliances and a possible sale. And Elliott Management, a hedge fund, has been lobbying for change at Net App, a data-storage firm that it thinks could do more to improve returns to (7).

　　One reason tech firms have found themselves in activists’ crosshairs is that, like Apple, some built up big cash piles during the economic downturn and have been slow to use the money. Financiers hope to get them to loosen their purse-strings faster and to pocket some of the cash. Mr Icahn wants Apple to increase and (8) a share buy-back programme that is currently set to return $60 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015.

　　Another reason that tech firms make tempting targets for shareholder activists is that swift changes in technologies can trip up even the mightiest. Witness the case of Microsoft, which ruled the roost during the personal-computer era but has struggled to adapt to a world in which tablets and smartphones are all the rage. Investors hope to mint money by pushing companies to change more rapidly in response to such upheavals in their markets.

　　The rewards can be substantial. Egged on by Third Point, an activist hedge fund, Yahoo (9) Marissa Mayer as its new chief executive in July 2012. By the time she celebrated a year in the job last month, the troubled web giant’s share price had risen by over 70%. In July the hedge fund sold a big chunk of shares back to Yahoo. Mr Icahn thinks Apple’s share price, which closed at $499 on August 14th, could soar too if the firm follows his advice on buy-backs. He tweeted this week that he had had a “nice (10)” with Tim Cook, Apple’s boss, about his idea, though he did not say what Mr Cook thought of it. If Apple drags its feet, expect things to turn nasty.
