大学英语六级考试作为大学期间的一门重要的考试，其中的阅读理解所占比重很大，虽然看起来文章很多，但题目并不多，是比较容易拿分的一块，所以对这一部分的复习一定不能松懈，考生平时要坚持练习，下面是一篇英语六级阅读练习，快来练练吧。

　　One of the most spectacular terrorist episodes in U.S. history was the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993 by Islamic radicals. This incident aroused anxiety about the threat posed by foreign residents from nations hostile to the United States. Six people died in the blast, which caused an estimated $600 million in property and other economic damage. Trials that followed convicted six people of carrying out the attack.

　　In addition to foreign-sponsored terrorism, the United States has an ample history of domestic terrorism. Early in the 20th century, labor leaders such as William Dudley openly espoused a philosophy of revolutionary violence.

　　In the late 1960s and early 1970s, during the latter stages of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, some terrorist groups bombed buildings on university campuses throughout the country and at corporation headquarters and government buildings in New York City.

　　Between 1978 and 1995, an anarchist and terrorist known as the Unabomber planted or mailed homemade bombs that killed 3 people and wounded 23 others in 16 separate incidents throughout the United States. The Unabomber, who claimed an allegiance with radical environmentalists and others opposed to the effects of industrialization and technology, targeted university professors, corporate executives, and computer merchants.

　　In April 1996 federal agents arrested Theodore Kaczynski, a suspect they thought to be the Unabomber. Kaczynski, a Harvard-educated former math professor who became a recluse, pled guilty to 13 federal charges in 1998 in exchange for agreement that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty during sentencing. The court sentenced Kaczynski to four life terms plus 30 years and ordered him to pay $15 million in restitution.

　　In April 1995 a truck bomb exploded in front of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, killing 168 people and injuring more than 500, making it one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in United States history. Federal agents arrested two men McVeigh and Nichols, who belonged to an extremist group advocating resistance to national laws and political institutions.

　　In June 1997 McVeigh was found guilty of murder in connection with the bombing and sentenced to death. Later in the year Nichols was convicted of the less severe charges of manslaughter and conspiracy, and he was sentenced to life in prison in June 1998. McVeigh was executed in 2001.

　　1.选D。本题为主要细节正误题。从第二段第一句“In addition to foreign-sponsored terrorism, the United States has an ample history of domestic terrorism”中可推断，第一段所讲的那次恐怖事件正是“foreign-sponsored”所以正确答案是D。

　　2.选B。本题为主要细节正误题。第二段先说“美国本土也有恐怖主义活动”，然后提到劳工领袖，由此可见，这些劳工领袖是国内的恐怖分子，选项B的意思是吻合的。

　　3.选C。本题为主要细节正误题。从第四段“ The Unabomber, who claimed an allegiance with radical environmentalists and others opposed to the effects of industrialization and technology”中可知，“Unabomber”声称与环保激进派和其他人一道坚决反对工业化以及科技所带来的结果，即环保激进派也是坚决反对工业化以及科技所带来的结果。

　　4.选C。本题为主要细节正误题。从第五段“Kaczynski, a Harvard-educated former math professor who became a recluse, pled guilty to 13 federal charges in 1998 in exchange for agreement that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty during sentencing”中可知，他承认了13项联邦政府对他的指控，是为了换的起诉人对他免于死刑的判决。

　　5.选A。本题为主旨归纳题。题于要求选出最合适的标题，A选项准确生动的概述出了本文论述的主要内容，恐怖主义袭击是“一场与和平为敌的战争”。
