2009年6月英语六级阅读冲刺倒计时(倒数9天)

　　指点迷津

　　1.It must also have been reassuring to know [that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines], and [that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect].在本句中，两个方括号里“that”引导的从句都是“know”宾语。

　　2.In addition one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, [which (by widening the total area of advanced studies) has produced an enormous number of specialists (whose particular interests are precisely defined)].在本句中，方括号里“which”引导的定语从句修饰“thevery considerable multiplication of disciplines”;该从句的谓语动词是“has produced”;该从句中还包含了一个由“whose”引导的定语从句修饰“specialists”。

　　试题精析

　　1.选C.本题为主要细节正误题。第一段第二句说“'academic mobility' is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world”，由此可知，人们认为“学术流动”非常重要，C选项与其意思一致;D选项为干扰项，由第一段可推断“going abroad in search of the best teacher”只是“学术流动”的表现之一，并不是它的含义。

　　2.选A.本题为词义推断题。“eccentric”在文中作名词，指“古怪的人;有怪癖的人”，所以A选项为正确的答案。

　　3.选B.本题为观点态度推断题。从第二段最后一句可推断，当一位学者和他的同事分享其想法观点时，他知道“one was not quite alone”，他会得到对他的成就的认可。

　　4.选D.本题为主要细节正误题。第三段最后一句说“……the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible……”，D选项与其意思一致。
