Predictions are made for the structure of a second 2{sup +} resonance, the soft dipole mode and unnatural parity modes in the {sup 6}He continuum. We use a structure model which describes the system as a three-body {alpha}+N+N cluster structure, giving the experimentally known properties of {sup 6}He and {sup 6}Li, and use the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) reaction theory appropriate for dilute matter. The presence of both resonant and nonresonant structures in the halo excitation continuum is shown to be manifest in charge-exchange reactions as well as inelastic scattering with single nucleons. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
