2019年6月英语六级考试模拟题及答案解析汇总 Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed
by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark
the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
centre. Questions 21 to 23 are based on the following passage:
The Caledonian Market in London is a clearing house of the junk (旧货、废弃 物 )
of the universe. Here, rubbish is a commodity and rubbish picking is a sport.
Somebody, somewhere, wanted these things, perhaps just to look at. You learn
here the incredible obscurity of human needs and desires. People grope (摸索),
with fascinated curiosity, among the turnedout debris (废墟) of thousands of
attic rooms. Junk pours in twice a week, year in and year out. The Market is the
penultimate (倒数第二的) resting place of banished vases, musical instruments that
will not play, sewing machines that will not sew, paralyzed perambulator,
epileptic bicycles and numerous other articles from which all morale and hope
have long departed. There are stories of fortunes being picked up in the Market.
Once seven hundred gold sovereigns were found in a secret drawer of a crazy old
bureau. And book buyers have discovered valuable editions of Milton and Dickens
and Carlyla. There is nothing one can not buy in the Market.

Questions 24 to 30 are based on the following passage: A
llelomimetic behavior may be defined as behavior in which two or more
individual animals do the same thing, with some degree of mutual simulation and
coordination. It can only involve in species with sense organs that are well
enough developed so that continuous sensory contact can be maintained. It is
found primarily in vertebrates(脊椎动物), in those species that are diurnal, and
usually in those that spend much of their lives in the air, in open water or on
open plains. In birds, allelomimetic behavior is the rule rather than the
exception, though it may occasionally be limited to particular seasons of the
year as it is in the redwing blackbird. Its principal function is that of
providing safety from predators(掠食者), partly because the flock can rely on many
pairs of eyes to watch for enemies, and partly because if one bird reacts to
danger, the whole flock is warned. Among mammals, allelomimetic behavior is very
rare in rodents(啮齿动物), which almost never move in flocks or herds. Even when
they are artificially crowded together, they do not conform in their movements.
On the other hand, such behavior is a major system among large hoofed
mammals,such as sheep. In the pack hunting carnivores(食肉类飞禽), allelomimetic
behavior has another function of cooperative hunting for large prey(被捕食者)
animals,such as moose. Wolves also defend their dens as a group against larger
predators, such as bears. Finally, allelomimetic behavior is highly developed
among most primate groups, where it has the principal function of providing
warning against predators,as though combined defensive behavior is also seen in
troops of baboons(狒狒).
