试 题解析：英语六级考试阅读第一项是
15
选
10
，
15
选< br>10
的题目做题的第一步是将题目中的
15
个单
词进行词性分类，我们 按照
5
类来分，名词，动词，形容词，副词，和分词，因为分词做的成分有
很多种，所 以我们必须将其单独分成一类，而且分类的内容里面会出现交叉分类，什么意思呢，就
是我们俗称叫做一 词多性和一词多意，因为有的单词可能有多种词性和词义，我们也最好分门别类
的标记一下。以下是我对
15

第二步，我们分析每个空的词性是什么，如果可以分析出词性，就可以将上述内容 对号入座。这个
分析的过程是通过词法知识进行的。

In the past 12 months, Nigeria has suffered from a shrinking economy, a sliding currency, and a prolonged
fuel shortage. Now, Africa
’
s largest in facing a food crisis as major tomato fields have
been destroyed by an insect, leading to a nationwide shortage and escalating prices.

The insect, Tutaabsoluta, has destroyed 80% of farms in Kaduna, Nigeria
’
s largest tomato producing state,
leading the government there to declare a state of
26(emergence)
.
解析：首先确定词性，
a state of
，介词后面是名词。其次，根据语义和搭 配：这种昆虫毁掉了
K
地方
的
80%
的农场，导致政府宣布进入紧急 状态。根据上下文态度，这种状态是一种负向的态度。所以
排除正向含义的名词类选项。最终根据语义， 紧急状况是最佳选择。因为摧毁农场是事态紧急的象
征。


The insect, also known as the tomato leaf miner, devastates crops by
27(feeding)
on fruits and digging into
and moving through stalks. 解析：根据上下文，
27
里面必须填写
doing
的形式，因为前后有< br>and
并列两个
doing
，然后根据搭配
和语义，
feed
一般和
on
搭配，
feeding on fruit
，以水果为食，是更好的语义和搭配的诠释。


It
28(reproduces)
incredibly quickly, breeding up to 12 generations per year if conditions are favorable.
解析：
28
这个空应该是填 动词，因为缺少动词是不能叫句子的，所以填动词。根据下面的
breed
繁
殖，孕育 这个单词，我发现
28
必须也填一个和生育繁殖有关的词。所以填
reproduce s

It is believed to have
29(orignated)
in South America in the early 1900s, and later spread to Europe before
crossing over to sub-Saharan Africa.
解析：29
这个空前面是
have
，证明这个空必须填写
done
的形 式的词，或者填名词，但是根据六级考
试
15
选
10
的考试规律，< br>have
后面几乎没有出现过填名词的可能性，所以填
done
是万无一失的， 根
据语义，据说他产地在南美，有追根溯源的感觉，所以我们选择
orignated






In Nigeria, where tomatoes are a staple of local diets,the insect's effects are devastating. Retail prices for a
30

of tomatoes at local markets have risen from $$0. 50 to $$2.50.
解析：
30
这个空是填一个名词，根据固定搭配原则

a ___ of
，只能选两个，第一个是
a handful of
少
量，第二个是
a multitude of
大量，但是根据上下文关 系，由于昆虫的影响，番茄的数量有所下滑，
所以应该是少量而不是大量，所以我们选择

a handful of

Farmers are reporting steep losses and a new $$20 million tomato-paste factory has
31
production due to the
shortages.
解析：
has
后发是
done
过去 分词形式，还剩下一个过去分词，肯定是
halted
，带入语义完整，一个番
茄酱的 工厂，停止生产番茄酱，由于番茄短缺造成的，所以停止填空，更符合语义。


Given the moth
’
s ability also to attack crops like pepper and potatoes, Audu Ogbeh, Nigeria
’
s minister of
agriculture, has warned that the pest may

“
create serious problems for food
32

解析：
fo r
后面接的是名词，
food
是名词，所以
food
后面一定是名词 ，因为名词可以修饰名词，
food
名词修饰后方名词，所以名词里面根据上下语义关系，填写 内容是
food security
，食品安全，这种昆
虫可能导致食品安全的严重问题。


Ogbeh says experts are investigating how to control the pest
’
s damage and prevent its spread, which has
gone largely
33
until now.
解析：
gone
是
go
的过去分词，
go
是不及物动词，所以
go
后面要么是副词要么是形容词，但是后面
la rgely
已经是副词，所以
go
是半系动词，
go
后面是副词修饰 的形容词，形容词里面根据语义只能选
择
N
，
unchecked
无 拘无束


Despite being the continent's second-largest producer of tomatoes, Nigeria is
34
on $$1 billion worth of
tomato-paste imports every year.
解析：
34
这个空前面是系动词后面是介 词，中间只能填写两种，一种是形容词，一种是过去分词，
所以过过去分词用完了，只剩下形容词，根据 前后搭配和语义，填写
be dependent on






as around 75% of the local harvest goes to waste thanks to a lack of proper storage facilities. A further
35
in
local supplies is yet another unwelcome setback to the industry.
解析：
35
根据前后判断，后面是介词短语，前方
fu rther
是形容词，所以
35
填写名词，名词还有两
个
reduc tion
和
terror
，根据语义是填写
reduction
，当 地供应的减少，而不是当地供应的恐惧

Section B
who
’
s really addicting you to Technology?
A.
York Times. it's a common complaint these days. A steady stream of similar headlines accuse the net and its
offspring apps, social media sites and online games of addicting us to distraction

's little doubt that nearly everyone who comes in contact with the net has difficulty concentration
than it takes to post a status update. as one person ironically put it in the comments section of Schwartz's
online article,
email.

's something different about this technology: it is both invasive and persuasive. but who's at fault for
its overuse? To find solutions, it's important to understand what we
’
re dealing are four parties
conspiring to keep you connected the tech, your boss, your friends and you.

technologies themselves and their makers, are the easiest suspects to blame for our diminishing
attention spans. Nicholas Carr,author of The Shallows: what the internet is doing Our brains, wrote, The net
is designed to be an interruption system, a machine geared to dividing attention.

services like Facebook, twitter and the like, are called out of manipulation--making, products so
good that people can't stop using them. after studying these products for several years, I wrote a book about
how they do it. I learned it all starts with the business model. since these services rely on advertising revenue,
The more frequently you use money they
’
s no winder these companies employ teams of people
focused on engineering their services to be as engaging as possible. these products aren't habit-forming by
chance; it's by design. they have an incentive to keep us hooked.

r, as good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them at
example, we can change how often we receive the distracting notifications that trigger our urge to
ing to adam marchick, ceo of mobile marketing company kahuna, less than 15 percent of smart
phone users ever bother to adjust their notification settlings--meaning the remaining 85 percent of us default
to the app makers' every preset and Apple have made it far too difficult to adjust these
settings so it's up to us to take steps ensure we set these triggers to suit our own needs, not the needs of the
app makers.
companies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from advertisers, other technologies
have no such agenda. take email, for example. this system couldn't care less how often you use it. Yet to
many, email is the most habit-forming medium of check email at all hours of the day--we're obsessed,
but why? Because that's what the boss almost all white-collar jobs, A slow Response to a message
could hurt not only your reputation but also your livelihood.

friends are also about this familiar gathered around a table, enjoying
food and each others company. there's laughter and a bit of kidding. Then, during an interval in the
conversation, someone takes out their phone to check who knows anyone notices and no one
says a thing.

I. Now imagine the same dinner,but instead of checking their phone, the person belches(
打嗝
) -
ne notices. unless the meal takes place in a beer house, this is considered bad manners. The
impolite act violates the basic rules of etiquette. one has to wonder why don
’
t we apply the same social
norms to checking phones during meals, meetings and conversations as we do to other antisocial behaviors
somehow, we accept it and say nothing when someone offends.

reality is taking one's phone out at the wrong time is worse than belching because, unlike other minor
offense, checking tech is contagious. once one person looks at their phone,other people feel compelled to do
the same, starting a chain reaction. the more people are on their phones, the fewer people are talking until
finally you are the only one left not reading email or checking twitter. from a societal perspective, phone
checking is less like belching in public and more like another bad habit. our phones are like cigarettes-
something to do when were bored or when our fingers need something to toy with seeing others enjoy a
smoke,or sneak a quick glance, is too tempting to resist and soon everyone is doing it.

technology, your boss, and your friends, all influence how often you find yourself using (or
overusing )these gadgets. but there's still someone who deserves scrutiny-- the person holding the phone.

L.I have a confession. even though i study habit-forming technology for a living, disconnecting is not easy
for me.I'm online far more than I'd like like Schwartz and so many others, I often find myself distracted and
off tack.I wanted to know why so i began self-monitoring to try to understand my behavior. that's when i
discovered an uncomfortable truth. i use technology as an escape. when I'm doing something I'd rather not do,
or when I'm someplace I'd rather not attention was often a good thing, like when passing time on public
transportation, but frequently my tech use was not so benign. when i faced difficult work, like thinking
through an article idea or editing the same draft for the hundredth time, for example, a more sinister screen
would draw me in. i could easily escape discomfort. temporarly. by answering email or browsing ing the web
under the pretense of so- called
to admit that my bad habits had less to do with logy and more to do with old-fashioned
procrastination(
拖延
)

's easy to blame technology for being so distracting, but distraction is nothing new. Aristotle and
Socrates dehated nature of
“
akrasia
”
--our tendency to do things against our interests. If we're honest with
ourselves, tech is just another way to occupy our time and minds,if we weren

t on our

d likely
do similarly unproductive.

al technology is indeed more engaging than ever, and there's no doubt companies are engineering
their products and services to be more compelling and attractive but would want it any other way the
intended result of making something better is that people use it more. that's not necessarily a problem, that's
progress.

improvements don't mean we shouldn't attempt to control our use of order to make
sure it doesn't control us, we should come to terms with the fact that it's more than the technology itself that
’
s
responsible for our habits. our workplace culture, social norms and individual behaviors all play a part to put
technology in its place, we must be conscious not only of how technology is changing, but also of how it is
changing us.
