四六级

　　在六级考试中，阅读部分想要拿到好成绩，不仅需要大家掌握一定的技巧还需要大家练习解题速度。速度快了，阅读不在话下。以下是小编为大家准备大家英语六级阅读练习，希望对大家有帮助。

　　The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 forreading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chartwithout a hitch. The score is determined by howwell you read lines of letters of different sizes from20 feetaway. But being able to read the bottom lineon the eye chart does not approximate perfectionas far as other species are concerned. Most birds would consider us very visuallyhandicapped. The hawk. for instance,has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on thesidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building+ It can make fine visual distinctionsbecause it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina(视网膜). And inwater, humans are farsighted. while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish. can see well inboth the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae.(凹窝)-areas of the eye, consistingmostly of cones. that provide visual distinctions. One fovea permits the bird, while in theair. toscan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits thewater, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on itsprey at the same time. A frog's vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as aconstant motion picture. Known as "bug detectors", a highly developed set of cells in a frog'seyes responds mainly to movingobjects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugswouldn’t see them as food and would starve.

　　The bee has a "compound" eye. which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that dividewhat it sees into a pattern of dots. or mosaic. With this hind of vision, the bee sees the sunonly as a single dot, a constant point of reference. Thus. the eye is a superb navigationalinstrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun. Abee's eye also gauges flight speed. And if that isnot enough to leave our 20/20 "perfect vision”paling into insignificance. the bee is capable of seeing something we can't-ultraviolet light.Thus,what humans consider to be "perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look atother species. However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals,only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color vision.

　　参考答案：

　　1.[A]首段第2句中的lines of letters和第3句中的bottom line表明视力的好坏是依靠看到视力表的行数来决定的，选项A为本题答案。首段第2句表明测验视力时距离是预先设定的，选项B不正确;选项C属于无中生有，原文并未提及该内容;文中只提到视力的好坏取次于能看到多少行字母这一因索，并没有提到其他因素，故D项错误。

　　2.[B]首段笫5句中的while perched on top of the Empire State Building表明本句强调的是鹰能看到距离很远的物件，由此可见，选项B为本题答案。从首段第5句中的dime一词可以推断鹰可以看到很小的物件，但原文并没有暗示它辨认物件的速度，更没有在这方面与人眼作比较，因此选项A不正确;首段第6句只是指出鹰眼的视网膜每平方毫米有100万个圆锥细胞，但并没有对比人眼和鹰眼所具有的圆锥细胞的总数，因此选项C不正确;原文并来提及与选项D有关的内容。

　　3.[C]首段第9句中的This表明前一句(即第8句)就是monocular vision的定义，很明显，选项C为本题答案。首段第7句表明翠鸟在水里能看得清楚，不会像人类那样远视，是因为它眼睛里有两个凹窝区域，并非因为它具有单眼视觉，因此选项A和B都不正确;根据该段第10句可知两个凹窝区域同时发挥作用才能使翠鸟把目光聚焦到猎物身上，因此选项D不正确。

　　4.[C]第2段第3，4句描述了蜜蜂利用太阳导航的机制，将选项与这些细节对照可以知道选项C为正确的说法。选项A是蜜蜂的成像机制，虽然眼睛必然与导航有关，但单靠成像并不能起到导航的作用，因此选项A不是蜜蜂寻找方向的方法：选项B中的gauging its flying speed也跟蜜蜂寻找方向无关：第2段第4句表明蜜蜂测量的是飞行路线和太阳的夹角，而不是测量太阳的角度，因此选项D不正确。

　　5.[A]首段前3句通过描述人类测试视力的方法引出人类的视力不如其他物种这个话题，然后作者举了4个例予说明这个观点，而在第2段末句作者又指出人类视力在某一方面优于其他物种，由此可见，本文主要通过举例说明人类和其他物种在视力上的不同，由此可见，选项A概括了全文内容。第2段末句指出了人类视力也有优于其他物种视力的地方，选项B和C都强调其他物种的视力好，概括都不够全面;选项D只能概括文章首句的内容，其他的内容均未包括在内。
