2019职称英语综合类A级阅读理解练习题及答案解析2概括大意与完成句子Waste Not, Want NotI Bob and Clara Darlington, who own and run a farm inthe North of England, have alwayslooked for new ways of making money out of the produce they grow. Their success began when they established a shop on their farm, so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.2 The business was an immediate success, and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country. The Association's inspectors found the Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as qualityfruit and vegetable.3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and, in addition toa range of home-grown foods and other local produce, she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen. A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added, with everything that visitors could taste on the menu also being for sale in the shop.4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive, and she has worked very hard, but maintains that if the product is good, the public recognize this and buy it. "I aim to offer the highest quality to our customers, whether they come in for a loaf of bread, or take a whole dinner-partymenu. I take it as a compliment(恭维) if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with pretending they made it themselves. "5 So it was that the couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm which were unsuitable for selling in the shop. Clara, not wishing to see them get thrown away, decided to turn theminto soup.6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail, doing presentations of the soups. As a result, they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores.23. Paragraph 2 __________.24.

However, he produced his most powerful works in the last decade of his life when he was completely deaf.This is one of the most glorious cases of the triumph of will over adversity1, but his biographer, Maynard Solomon, takes a different view. ____1____. In his deaf world Beethoven could experiment, free from the sounds of the outside world, free to create new forms and harmonies.Hearing loss does not seem to affect the musical ability of musicians who become deaf. They continue to “hear” music with as much, or greater, accuracy than if they were actually hearing it being played.____2____. He described a fascinating phenomenon that happened within three months：“m y former musical experiences began to play back to me. I couldn’tdifferentiate between what I heard and real hearing.2 After many years, it is still rewarding to listen to these play backs, to ‘ hear’ music which is new to me and to find many quiet accomp animents for all of my moods. ”How is it that the world we see，touch，hear，and smell is both “out there” and at the same time within us? Thereis no better example of this connection between external stimulus and internal perception than the cochlear implant3.____3____. However, it might be possible to use the brain’s remarkable power to make sense of the electrical signals the implant produces.When Michael Edgar first “switched on” his cochlear implant, the sounds he heard were not at all clear. Gradually, with much hard work, he began to identify everyday sounds.For example, “The insistent ringing of the telephone became clear almost at once.”The primary purpose of the implant is to allow communication with others. When people spoke to Eagar, he heard their voices “coming through like a long-distance telephone call on a poor connection.” But when it came tohis beloved music, the implant was of no help.4 ____4____. He said, “I play the piano as I used to and hear it in my headat the same time. The movement of my fingers and the feel of the keys give added ‘ clarity’ to hearing in my head.5”Cochlear implants allow the deaf to hear again in a way that is not perfect，but which can change their lives.____5____. Even the most amazing cochlear implants would have been useless to Beethoven as he composed his Ninth Symphonyat the end of his life.词汇：obstacle / bstk()l /n.障碍biographer / baiɡrf / n.传记作者insistent / nsst()nt / adj.连续的adversity / dv ：st / n.逆境;不幸fascinate / fsnet / vt. 使着迷，使神魂颠倒accompaniment / kmp()nim()nt / n. 伴奏注释：1.the triumph of will over adversity：the successful overcoming of difficulty through determination用意志力成功战胜不幸2.I couldn’t differentiate between what I heard andreal hearing.我不能分辨我听到的和真实的声音有什么不同。

2019职称英语理工A考试教材阅读理解（二）Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big DifferencePutting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bitrisky1.When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.Most student leaders don't want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon's operations officer for two years.Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations2. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.At large universities like Fangmeyer's, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own corner of campus".Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey's findings."I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus butalso find a group of friends."All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren't thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to 'fatten up their resume'", said Heitner."At the beginning of my college career, I joineda few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles."But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up3 for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university's complicated bureaucracy."Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference", Fangmeyer said.1. An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student leaders_________.A) are lazyB) are stupidC) are not rich enoughD) will not take an interest in it2. Atherican students join campus organizations mostly for_________.A) making a differenceB) gaining experienceC) building friendshipD) improving their resumes3. Who is Katie Rowley? _________.A) She's a senior professorB) She's a senior studentC) She's a senior officialD) She's a senior citizen4. What do student leaders need to carry an activity through to a successful end? _________.A) Passion.B) Money.C) Power.D) Fame.5. The phrasal verb fatten up in paragraph 6 could bebest replaced by_________.A) inventB) rewriteC) polishD) complete答案与题解：1. D 本题问的是：像募集30万美元的课外活动有点冒险是因为多数学生?答案能够从第二段的第一句话中找到。
2019职称英语理工A类阅读理解题精讲2
2019职称英语理工A类阅读理解题精讲2Marvelous MetamaterialsInvisibility cloaks1 would have remained impossible，forever locked in science fiction，had it not been for the development of metamaterials2.In Greek，“meta”means beyond，and metamaterials can do things beyond what we see in the natural world-like shuffle light waves around an object，and then bring them back together3.If scientists ever manage to build a full-fledged invisibility cloak，it will probably be made of metamaterials.“We are creating materials that don’t exist in nature，and that have a physical phenomenon that doesn't exist in nature，”says engineer Dentcho Genov.“That is the most exciting thing.”Genov designs and builds metamaterials-suchas those used in cloaking-at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston，Louisiana4.An invisibility cloak will probably not be the first major accomplishment to come from the field ofmetamaterials.Other applications are just as exciting.In many labs，for example，scientists are working on building a hyperlens.A lens is a device-usually made of glass-that can change the direction of light waves.Lenses are used in microscopes and cameras to focus light，thus allowing a researcher to see small things or a photographer to capture image of things that are far away.A hyperlens，however，would be made of metamaterials.And since metamaterials can do things with light that ordinary materials can”t，the hyperlens would be a powerful tool.Ahyperlens would allow researchers to see things at the smallest scale imaginable-as small as the wavelength of visible light.Genov points out that the science of metamaterials is driven by the imagination：If someone can mink of an idea for a new behavior for light，then the engineers can find a way to design a device using metamaterials.“We need people who can imagine，”he says.Since 2006，many laboratories have been exploring other kinds of metamaterials that don”t involve just visible light.In fact，scientists are finding that almost any kind of wave may respond to metamaterials.At the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain5，Jose Sanchez-Dehesa is working with acoustics, or the science of sound.Just as an invisibility cloak shuffles waves of light，an“acoustic”cloak would shuffle waves of sound in a way that’s not found in nature.In an orchestra hall，for example.an acoustic cloak could redirect the sound waves-so someone sitting behind a column would hear the same concert as the rest of the audience，without distortion.Sanchez-Dehesa，an engineer，recently showed that it’s possible to build such an acoustic cloak, though he doubts we’ll see one any time soon.“In principle，it is possible，”he says，but it might be impossible to make one，he adds.Other scientists are looking into ways to use larger metamaterials as shields around islands or oil rigs6 as protection from tsunamis.A tsunami is a giant, destructivewave.The metamaterial would redirect the tsunami around therig or island，and the wave would resume its journey on the other side without causing any harm.词汇：cloak n.斗篷，披风 hyperlens n.超透镜metamaterial n.超材料 acoustics n.声学full-fledged adj.完全成熟的，完全合格的tsunami n.海震，海啸注释：1.Invisibility cloaks：隐形衣。

2019年职称英语综合类A级阅读精练试题2If someone asked you, "What color is the sky?" I expect that you would answer, "Blue." I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking atblue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air.We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air.What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space thereis nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars.Scientists have always wanted to know more about theother worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket.I am sure that you are asking, "How does a rocket fly?"if you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up untilit is quite big. Do not tie up the neck o f the balloon. Letgo! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly.The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloonthrough the air. It does not need wings like an airplane. 中华考试网This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air.Rockets can fly fat out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.练习：1. What color is the sky?A) It is blue.B) It is white.C) It is grey.D) It has no color.2. When an airplane flies too high,A) the air will be too thin to support its wings.B) the air will become thicker.C) the air will exert pressure on it.D) the air will disappear in no time.3.

2019职称英语综合类A级阅读名师讲义(一)2017年职称英语综合类A级阅读名师讲义(一)Food for LearningIn Eritrea, a small country in northeast Africa, approximately 80 percent of the population is illiterate. That percentage is even higher in woman. As in many developing countries, many Eritreans have traditional ideas about the role of women. They believe that women should stay home and take care of the family and should not get an education or look for a job.These beliefs are one of the factors that prevent Eritriea and other developing countries from improving their economic situation. Experience in many developing countnes has shown that educated women have fewer children and have more opportunities for improving their lives and the lives of their families. In Eritrea, in fact, there is great need for improvement. It is one of the poorest countries in the world. For many Eritrean families, getting enough food is a daily problem.To deal with these problems, the Eritrean government together with the World Food Program,has a new program that offers food as a reward for leaming. In primary schools, all the children receive food packages to take home to their families. However, with the new program, the girls receive more food than the boys. This way, parents are encouraged to send their daughter to school rather than keeping them at home.Another govemment program that aims to educate women is Food for Training. Managed by the National Union of Eritrean Women, this program offer food rewards (also from World Food Organiza tion) to women and elder girls who are willing to join the program. Because of the war with Ethiopia, many women are bringing up their families on their own. They often live in refugee camps, with no land of their own and no way to earn money. Most of these women are illiterate and have no skills to find a job. They spend most of their day lookingfor food and preparing it for their families.The Food for Training program helps the tennagers and women change their lives. If they agree to join the program, they receive a large package of food each month. In return, the women are required to attend free literate classes for two hours every day. When Food for Training classes in two regions of Eritrea, 5000 girls and women joined in the first two months. It is especially popular with teenage girls, aged fourteen to sixteen, who have never had a chance to go to school before.The organizers of Food for Traing also plans to offer other kinds of courses for women, using the same system of food rewards. In these courses, they will teach women job skills and crafts such as basket weaving. These women will not only learn to read and write. They will become aware of what is going on in their country.41. According to the passage, traditional ideas about women __________.A. are rejected by younger generationB. help improve the economyC. hinder economic developmentD. have little impact on economic development42. The Eritrean govemment is offering extra food to girls in school in order to __________.A. encourage to keep girls at homeB. change traditional attitudes towards womenC. help girls feed their familiesD. creat more jobs for Eritrean teachers43.

2019年职称英语卫生类A级阅读复习讲义(2)Cooking Oil Fumes Cause TumorThe leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a five-year research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer.They said patients are younger, especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else.Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate."An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer, "said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for fiveyears.Among them,l,483 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only l8 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke, according to the report.However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about1 irritated eyes and throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women's bedrooms were adjacent to2 the kitchen.However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer.Some claimed they may change food preparation methods."Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook, "said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman."I know the fumes are bad for the skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer.I have already started frying less."Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with he3."Smoking is by far the biggest cause4 of lung cancer for men, "said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College."It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women."He's research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling5 fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time, 6experts said.词汇：fume 烟，气，汽tumor(=tumour) n.肿瘤cancer癌瘤breast乳房，胸incidence发生(率)diagnosis诊断inhale秒.吸人irritate使疼痛，刺激fry钐.油炸，油煎unventilate使不通风adjacent.临近的dietary饮食的immune吐免疫的honorary名誉上的;荣誉的respiratory呼吸的stall货摊注释：plain原意是“抱怨，诉苦"，但医学上常用complain about或complain of表示“主诉”。

Memory
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep
information available for later use. It includes not only " remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for late use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"——strings of alphabetic or numerical characters——ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.
