Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all (1) to about 460 miles. Their number (2) as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 times in a month, but the (3) average does not vary much. (4) comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of (5) earthquakes is very small.

The (6) of the disaster in an earthquake (7) on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erector set, it will still stand no matter (8) much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight (9) of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely (10) the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done (11) little damage.

（分数：70.00）

D.distances

解析：词义辨析题。depth意为“深度，深刻”，length意为“长度”，mile意为“英里”，distance意为“距离”。由下句中出现的the depth可知空格所在句讲的也与depth有关，故选A。该句意为“但在深度达460英里的地方可以也的确发生过地震”。

A.increases

B.reduces

C.decreases √

D.adds

解析：词义辨析题。increase意为“增加”；reduce意为“减少，缩小”，强调在大小、程度或强度方面下降或减少；decrease意为“减少”，强调逐渐地下降或减少的过程；add意为“增加”。句意为“这个数字随着深度的增加而______”，下文又提到在460英里深的地方地震每隔好几年才会爆发一次，而地表附近每个月地震发生的次数高达100次之多。由此可知越往地表深处，地震发生的频率就越低，故C项最符合文意。

A.yearly √

B.daily

C.weekly

D.total

解析：词义辨析题。原句意为“在地表附近地震活动的频率高达每月100次，但______的平均值相差不远”。结合常识可知，地震发生频率的测量不可能用每天或每周来衡量，故与“每月”相对应的应该是yearly“每年的”，故选A。

A.On

B.In √

C.To

D.For

解析：短语搭配题。本题所填入的词应与comparison with构成搭配，四个选项中只有B项符合文意，意为“与……相比较”。

A.powerful

B.huge

C.dangerous

D.disastrous √

解析：词义辨析题。powerful意为“强大的，有力的”，huge意为“巨大的，极大的”，dangerous意为“危险的”，disastrous意为“损失惨重的”。在文章的最后一段提到these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes...，根据同词复现原则，应选D。该句意为“与每年发生的地震总数相比，造成重大灾难的地震次数非常少”。

A.context

B.texture

C.extent √

D.exterior

解析：词义辨析题。context意为“上下文”，texture意为“质地，纹理”，extent意为“广度，程度”，exterior意为“外部，表面”。结合上文提到的灾难性地震和本句句意“地震的破坏______(取决于)很多因素”可知，此处应该是指程度，因此选C。

B.decides

C.defies

D.defenses

解析：短语搭配题。填入的词要与on搭配：depend on意为“取决于……”；decide on意为“对……作出决定”；defy意为“反抗，挑衅”，多用作及物动词；defense意为“防守，防卫”，也是及物动词。结合句意“地震的破坏程度很多因素”可知，A项最符合文意。

A.that

B.which

C.what

D.how √

解析：语法结构题。分析句子结构可知，填入的词应与no matter构成“no matter+疑问词”结构来引导让步状语从句，表示“无论……”，其中疑问词的选择依其在从句中充当的成分而定。由空格后的much可知此处填入的词表示程度，故选D。该句意为“如果你用建筑拼装玩具搭建一个玩具屋，那么无论你如何晃动桌子都不会有问题”。

A.break

B.shake √

C.touch

D.push

解析：篇章逻辑题。根据同词复现原则，上文出现过shake the table，此处为同一语义表达，因此选B。该句意为“但如果你用一堆卡片搭出一个玩具屋，桌子的轻微晃动就会使玩具屋倒塌”。

A.injured

B.hindered

C.destroyed √

D.immersed

解析：词义辨析题。injure意为“损害，伤害”，hinder意为“阻碍，打扰”，destroy意为“破坏，损坏”，immerse意为“沉浸，使陷入”。结合句意“发生在摩洛哥Agadir的地震虽然震级不强，但它却______整个城市”可知，此处讲的是地震的破坏情况，可先排除B和D。injure与destroy都有“损坏”之意，但injure是指小程度的损害，不会造成很大的影响，而原文中是对整个城市而言，故应选C。

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6c19019918.html,paratively √

B.particularly

C.immediately

D.invariably

解析：词义辨析题。comparatively意为“比较地，相当地”，particularly意为“独特地，显著地”，immediately意为“立刻，马上”，invariably意为“不变地，总是”。该句将stronger earthquakes与上一句Agadir地震的情况作比较，结合句意“有一些震级较强的地震造成的破坏______很小”，可推测此处说明的是有些震级较强的地震对城市造成的实际破坏却相对较小，故选A。

A.fragile

B.solid √

C.loose

D.liable

解析：词义辨析题。fragile意为“易碎的，脆的”，solid意为“坚固的，结实的”，loose意为“宽松的，不牢固的”，liable意为“有责任的，有义务的”。根据前后呼应原则，well-constructed应与solid ground相呼应。该句意为“如果建筑物修建得好并且建在坚固的地基上，那么它就能抵御地震”。

A.faulty √

B.limited

C.medieval

D.metallic

解析：词义辨析题。faulty意为“有过失的，有缺点的”，limited意为“有限的”，medieval意为“中世纪的，老式的”，metallic意为“金属的”。该句与上文well-constructed的情况进行对比，根据句中的并列连词or可知，填入的词应与后文的poor building在语义上相近，A项最符合文意。

A.places

B.directions

C.structures

D.sites √

解析：词义辨析题。根据前文提到的solid ground和句意“地震中的许多伤亡是由不坚固的建筑结构和较差的建筑______造成的”可知，这里应填入表示地址的词。选项中site意为“场所，地点”，表示建筑地址，要比place“位置，地方”符合题意，故选D。

A.noise

B.misfortune

C.panic √

D.fear

解析：词义辨析题。noise意为“噪声，噪音”，misfortune意为“不幸，灾祸”，panic意为“惊慌，恐慌”，fear意为“焦虑，害怕”。结合文意和常识可知，发生地震时人们的情绪应该是恐慌而不是简单的焦虑，而过度的恐慌会引起混乱，从而导致更多灾祸的发生，故选C。

A.result √

B.lead

C.bring

D.stir

解析：词义辨析题。result意为“导致，以……为结果”，不带介词时通常以表示结果的名词为主语；lead 意为“导致”，表示造成某种后果时常需和in搭配后再接表示结果的名词；bring意为“拿来”；stir意为“激起，传播”。结合句意“当人们冲进狭窄的街道，会______更多人的死亡”可知，伤亡是人们恐慌造成的结果，故选A。

A.canceling

B.weakening

C.preventing

D.reducing √

解析：词义辨析题。cancel意为“取消，删去”，weaken意为“削弱”，prevent意为“阻止，防止”，reduce意为“减少，缩小”。结合句意“联合国在______地震造成的损坏方面起了重要的作用”和下文提

到的a thing of the past“成为历史”可知，此处需要填入表示“减少，缩小”之意的词，可先排除A

和C。weaken指“削弱，使……变弱”，通常指把力量等变弱而不能指减少损坏力度，故应选D。

A.nature √

B.identity

C.quantity

D.trait

解析：词义辨析题。nature意为“自然，本性，种类”；identity意为“身份，特性”；quantity意为“数量”；trait意为“显著特点，遗传特征”，多用于有生命的物体。结合句意“专家们和当地地质学家、工程师合作，研究了地表______和最适用于当地建筑的代码类型”可知，填入的词与type相对应，故选A。the nature of the ground为常用搭配，意为“地表的特征”。

A.licensed

B.allowed

C.followed √

D.neglected

解析：短语搭配题。license意为“许可，特许”，allow意为“允许，承认”，follow意为“追随，遵循”，neglect意为“忽视”。上文提到专家们的工作，本句中suggestions是填入的词的逻辑宾语，根据句意“如果______，这些建议将会使地震灾害成为历史”，选C。follow the suggestions意为“遵循这些建议”。

A.always

B.almost √

C.entirely

D.surely

解析：语法结构题。原文提到“如果能够遵循这些建议的话，地震的巨大破坏性将______成为过去”，句中if表示一种假设，且这些建议还在研究当中，故选项中表示完全肯定的always，entirely和surely都不合题意，只有almost“几乎，差不多”符合文意。

五、Passage 4

(总题数：1，分数：70.00)

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is (1) on a person-to-person basis by the simple (2) of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations (3) we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views (4) by other members of society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only (5) of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the (6) factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the (7) growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to (8) in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and (9) of communications so that local news often (10) a back seat to national news, (11) itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information (12) to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to (13) to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being (14) into millions of homes.

Communication is no longer (15) concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the (16) people live in society and (17) their horizons by allowing access (18) information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very (19) to the individual and to the society (20) which he is a part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.

（分数：70.00）

A.performed √

B.operated

C.acted

D.instructed

解析：词义辨析题。perform意为“履行，执行，完成”，operate意为“操作，运转”，act意为“行动，扮演，担任”，instruct意为“教导，命令”。结合句意“人与人之间大量的交流都是通过简单的语言______来______的”，可知填入的词应表达“完成”之意，四个词中只有perform能和communication搭配，故选A。

A.methods

B.mean

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6c19019918.html,e

D.means √

解析：短语搭配题。结合句意(见第1题解析)可知，应选D。by means of意为“通过……手段”。

A.when

B.where √

C.what

D.which

解析：语法结构题。分析句子结构，可知填入的词引导定语从句，考生易选what或which，但结合句意“如果我们乘车出行、到商店购物或到餐厅就餐，都可能会进行交谈，______我们传递信息或观点，获取新闻或接受评论，且很可能使自己的观点为其他社会成员______”可知，此处表达“传递信息”是在我们进行交谈的地方或场合得以实现，因而该定语从句修饰前部分表示地点和场合的内容，故选where。

A.refused

B.received

C.challenged √

D.followed

解析：词义辨析题。refuse意为“拒绝，谢绝”，receive意为“收到，接到”，challenge意为“向……挑战”，follow意为“跟随，遵循”。结合句意(见第3题解析)可知，前面提到的receive comment已经包含了have our views received的含义，故空格处不能再选receive或follow，以免在语义上重复。结合常识可知，在人际交往中，个人的观点有可能为他人接受，但同时也可能遭到质疑，故选C。不能选refused 是因为该句前后在语义上是顺承关系，而非转折或对比关系。

A.form √

B.focus

C.foam

D.frame

解析：词义辨析题。form意为“形成，形式”，focus意为“焦点，中心”，foam意为“泡沫，水沫”，frame意为“结构，体格”。结合句意“面对面的交流绝对不是唯一的交流______”可知，这里填入的词应该有“形式，方式”之意，因此选A。

A.dominating √

B.interesting

C.cunning

D.frustrating

解析：词义辨析题。dominating意为“主要的，专横的”，interesting意为“有趣的”，cunning意为“狡猾的”，frustrating意为“挫败的，灰心的”。结合句意“在过去的200年里，大众传播的方式成为当今社会最______的交流方式之一”，可知应填入dominating。

A.significant

B.considerate

C.numerous

D.enormous √

解析：词义辨析题。significant意为“有意义的，重大的”；considerate意为“考虑周到的”；numerous 意为“众多的，许多的”，强调数量上的多；enormous意为“巨大的，庞大的”，强调在大小、范围、数目或程度上很大。首先从搭配来看，numerous与considemte都不能与growth搭配。其次从下文提到“创造力使各个行业，如印刷、电讯等发展起来”可知，这些都表明通信事业大范围发展，故选D。

A.disadvantages

B.opportunities

C.advances √

D.fortune

解析：词义辨析题。disadvantage为“不利，不利条件”，opportunity意为“机会，时机”，advance

意为“前进，提升”，fortune意为“财富，运气”。结合句意“首先，发明创造带来了印刷、电讯、摄影、广播和电视等方面的______”和常识可知，此处指的是带来这些方面的进步，故选C。

A.acceptance

B.reception √

C.production

D.permission

解析：词义辨析题。acceptance~为“接受，承诺”，reception为“接待，接收”，production意为“生产，产品”，permission意为“许可，允许”。从结构上分析，填入的词应该和transmission“传送”是并列的，构成通信的两个方面，故选reception。句意为“第二，速度使得通信的发送和接收发生了革命性的变化，因此使得地方新闻往往______全国新闻，而国际新闻又几乎超越全国新闻”。

A.has

B.brings

C.makes

D.takes √

解析：短语搭配题。take a back seat为固定短语，意为“处于次要地位”。

A.which √

B.that

C.what

D.where

解析：语法结构题。分析句子结构，填入的词应引导非限制性定语从句修饰national news，故选which。

A.contained

B.defined

C.confined √

D.possessed

解析：词义辨析题。contain意为“包含，容纳”，define意为“定义，详细说明”，confine意为“限制，禁闭”，possess意为“占有，拥有”。结合句意“对信息的掌握不再______于具有特权的小部分人”和下文就今昔的比较可知，信息曾仅限于特权阶层所有，故选C。

A.flock √

B.turn

C.fleet

D.walk

解析：词义辨析题。四个选项均可和to连接：flock to意为“涌向”，turn to意为“求助于”，fleet to 意为“飞过，奔向”，walk to意为“走向”。根据文意“40年前，人们曾经______去电影院，然而现在更多的人待在家里，打开电视收看______进入数百万家庭的电视节目”可知，选flock to最符合文意，体现当时去电影院的人数之多。

A.charged

B.changed

C.challenged

D.channeled √

解析：词义辨析题。charge意为“负责，收费”，change意为“改变”，challenge意为“挑战”，channel 意为“通过频道传播”。根据句中的TV，program等信息词可知选D。

A.almost

B.merely √

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6c19019918.html,ually

D.especially

解析：语法结构题。结合句意“现在通信不再______关注信息的传送”和下文提到的现代通信还影响people live in society以及their horizons等可知，以前通信只关注信息的传送，因此选merely。

A.status

B.condition

C.life

D.way √

解析：词义辨析题。status意为“身份，地位，情况”，condition意为“条件，情形”，life意为“生活”，way意为“方式，方法”。由常识可知现代通信影响了人们的生活方式，故选D。the way people live 为常用搭配，意为“人们的生活方式”。

A.broadens √

B.enlarges

C.enriches

D.brings

解析：词义辨析题。broaden意为“放宽，拓宽”，enlarge意为“扩大，放大”，enrich意为“使……

富足”，bring意为“带来”。四个选项中只有broaden常和horizon搭配，意为“拓宽眼界”。

A.of

B.for

C.to √

D.toward

解析：短语搭配题。access常和to搭配，意为“接近，使用”。该句意为“现代通信产业影响人们的生

活方式，使人们得以通过获取信息、接受教育和进行娱乐的方式拓宽视野”。

A.valuable √

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6c19019918.html,mon

C.subtle

D.worthy

解析：词义辨析题。valuable意为“贵重的，有价值的”，common意为“共同的，普通的”，subtle意

为“敏感的，微妙的”，wonhy意为“值得的，有价值的”。结合句意“虽然大众媒体传播的大量素材对

于个人及其所处社会来说都非常______，但庞大的网络数据通信变得泛滥起来”可知，valuable比worthy 更符合文意。

A.for

B.on

C.with

D.of √

解析：语法结构题。分析句子结构，填入的词与which构成“介词+which”的结构引导定语从句修饰society。人属于社会，故选D。a part of意为“……的一部分”。

2023大学英语六级阅读理解完形填空测试题

2023大学英语六级阅读理解完形填空测试题 The Look Younger Diet Is the Fountain of Youth a myth? Not entirely, many experts in nutrition now believe, Age fast, or age slow—its up to you. declares Dr. Kenneth Cooper, president and founder of the Aerobics Center in Dallas. Jeffrey Blumberg, associate director of the U. S. Department of Agricultures Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, agrees, Research shows that many so-called age-related declines in physiological function seem to have less to do with aging than with environmental factors like diet and exercise. Obesity (过度肥胖) is one of the leading causes of accelerated aging, according to Cooper, If you lose weight, stop smoking, and exercise, he says, you can slow the aging process—and make dramatic changes in your looks in a relatively short period of time. A 37-year-old sales director for a Boston computer-distribution company is a prime example. Over six feet tall, he had been considerably overweight most of his like. Then he began to worry that his appearance could be hurting his career. I got tired of people thinking I was the same age as my brother, whos nearly nine years older, he says, When youre fat, people in the business world assume youre out of control. Determined to change, the sales director entered a hospital-based diet program and dropped over 70 pounds. I feel—and look—ten years younger. he says. At 82, Clarice R. Mc Williams, a retired business owner in Dallas, has the appearance, skin tone (肤色) and mental agility of someone many years younger. Most people think Im in my 60s. she boasts. Mc Williams admits genes play some role in the way she looks, but believes diet is an important factor. It doesnt matter how good the genes are if you dont eat properly and take care of yourself, she says. If you want to look good, get plenty of rest, exercise every day, eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables—and quit worrying. Says Blumberg, Theres certainly a link between good nutrition, a positive attitude and improved quality of life. People can have a say in whats going on with their bodies by selecting a healthful diet. Skin. Nowhere do the signs of aging manifest themselves more clearly than in the condition of the skin. When your weight fluctuates, the skin stretches with each up cycle, but it may not completely shrink back to its original size in the down cycle. As a result, the skin may sag(松弛下垂). A severely deficient diet can lead to skin disorders, dramatically affecting ones appearance. By the same token, a well-balanced diet with ample supplies of nutrients is thought by many experts to produce a glowing, younger look. Zinc and vitamin A are important for normal, healthy skin. Zinc helps the skin repair itself, and vitamin A aids in keeping skin supple, preventing dryness and helping shed dead cells. Good sources of zinc are beef, eggs and seafood, while many dark-green leafy vegetables are rich in beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Other foods containing ample amounts of beta carotene include carrots, cantaloupe, winter squash, sweet potatoes, sweet red peppers, apricots and mangoes. Vitamin C helps improve the blood supply to the skin and aids in forming collagen(胶原) , the fibrous protein that lies beneath the skins surface and gives it a smooth appearance. Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits and juices, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, snow peas, red
