如果该句提供的是准确信息，请选A；如果该句的是错误信息，请选B；如果该句的信息文章中没有提及，请选C.Winners and LosersWhy are the biggest winners in the past decade of trade globalization mostly in South and East Asia, whereas the biggest losers are mostly in the former Soviet bloc （集团）and sub-Saharan Africa? History is a partial guide： East Asia has a long trading tradition, lately reinvigorated （给以新的活力） by the Chinese adoption of market economics. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, was sheltered from free-market forces for more than 70 years. In Africa, some countries are disadvantaged because of inadequate infrastructure （基础结构）; many countries have little to trade but commodities, the prices of which have fallen in recent years.In some regions, certain countries have suffered by adopting misguided policies, often under pressure from International Monetary Fund. First among these is Russia, which in the early 1990s tried to embrace capitalism before first building the institutions that make capitalism work, such as an independent bank system, a system of business law, and an adequate method for collecting taxes. Encouraged by the IMF, the World Bank and the U.S. Department of theTreasury, President Boris Yeltsin's regime privatized the state-owned industrial sector, creating a class of oligarchs （寡头政治集团成员）, who, knowing how unstable conditions were at home, sent their money abroad instead of investing it at home.In contrast, China, the biggest winner from globalization, did not follow the IMF formula. Of the former states of the Soviet bloc, only a few, notably Poland and Hungary, managed to grow, which they did by ignoring IMF advice and adopting expansionary plans, including spending more than they collected in taxes. Botswana and Uganda are also success stories： despite their disadvantages, their countries achieved vigorous growth by creating stable civil societies, liberalizing trade and implementing reforms that ran counter to IMF prescriptions.1 Japan has a long trading tradition.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 Russia was wrongly guided by the IMF.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 All African countries followed the IMF formula.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 The Soviet Union was a capitalist country.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Australia is one of the biggest winners from globalizationA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 China did not take IMF advice.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 Many high officials in Russia have much benefited from privatization.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.

Since it is often used simultaneously by both family members as well as guests, the kitchen requires not only a glamorous look but apractical one. Also, the design elements must meet the needs of the modern family.Environmental concerns have had an enormous impact on kitchen design. This concern includes recycling of house hold material, as well as energy efficient appliances and the purity of both water and air. Research shows that up to 85 percent of the population is concerned about what might be in their drinking water. They are also often dissatisfied with the taste and odor of what comes out of their tap. This is why it's important to consider adding a water filter system.The character of today's kitchen is very different from the way it was thirty years ago. There's more sophistication in food preparation, and more technological help with cooking and clean-up.When choosing cabinets, first consider the style.

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.

2019年职称英语卫生类A级阅读理解模拟练习题及答案(2)
2019年职称英语卫生类A级阅读理解模拟练习题及答案(2)Stress at Work and Still HealthyThe term could yet become the word of the year; stress is on everyone’s lips these days and everywhere. Not only managers, officials and teachers are complaining nowadays, housewives, children and pensioners now also have their own problems.They too sacrifice themselves for others, feel under-or overworked and quickly lose their inner balance. Irritation, tiredness and exhaustion quickly follow. But that is only the negative aspect. Stress, after all, is also linked topositive terms such as joy of life, tension and vitality(活力).“Firstly, stress is healthy,” says Wolfgang Stehling from Eltvelle. The doctor and management consultant says：” It occurs when the body loses its inner balance, but then stress hormones are produced to re-establish the balance.” Thus stress is nothing more than a positive reaction of the bodyto pressure. It is unavoidable as part of ournature：”There is no such thing as a stress-free life.”But whether stress leads to tensions in the mind or to tenseness of the muscles depends on the duration（持续时间）, its cause or causes and the sufferer’s personal situation. People who have trouble sleeping or suffer from bad moods or simply the flu will not be on top of the world and will take every little strife as negative stress. Others, people whofeel refreshed at every new turn, are relaxed and successful,will view a difficult round of negotiations or competition at work more as a positive challenge than a cross to bear.Exercise, healthy eating and relaxing are thus the three pillars by which stress can be conquered almost every time. These factors form a unit, explains Marita Voelker-Albert, spokeswoman for the government’s Nutrition Advice Center in Cologne. Its campaign “Gut Drauf” (Feeling Good) is targeted at young people. The govern ment agency’s research suggests that three out of four adolescents feel tired, overtaxed(负担过重)and under stress. Eating disorders and complaints such as migraines(偏头痛)and indigestion(消化不良),nervousness and concentration problems have increased among 12- to 16-year-olds.But even the best solutions don’t work if they are not put into practice, says Stehling. Anybody who goes jogging regularly, practices yoga(瑜伽功)and prescribes goodliterature as a cure for negative stress, may well end up under more pressure as he tries to find the time for it all. Sometimes, says the consultant, it helps to take time out to reduce stress levels over a weekend.36.Which of the following is NOT a correct view on stress?A. Stress has both positive and negative aspects.B. Stress is only a positive reaction of the body to pressure.C. Stress only leads to serious problems.D. Stress is unavoidable as part of our nature.37. A person who has lost his inner balance may soon feelA. fit and healthy.B. under-or overworked.C. relaxed and happy.D. irritated, tired and exhausted.38. Who will easily take every little strife as negative stress?A. Those who suffer from the flu.B. Those who are in good moods.C. Those who are successful.D. Those who feel refreshed at every new turn.39. All the following complaints are said to have increased among children aged 12 to 16 EXPECTA. painful headache.B. indigestion.C. nervousness and concentration problems.D. loss of memory.40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cure for negative stress?A. Reading good literature.B. Practicing yoga.C. Having a healthy diet.D. Working overtime.答案：36.C37.D38.A39.D。

2019职称英语考试辅导综合类A级阅读(二)2017年职称英语考试辅导综合类A级阅读(二)How Deafness Makes It Easier to HearMost people think of Beethoven’s hearing loss as an obstacle to composing music. 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职称英语理工类B级阅读理解练习题(二)
2019职称英语理工类B级阅读理解练习题（二） TippingIn any countries there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the hill at a hotel or restaurant "for the service". In other places the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistent practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps, in small town), and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants.When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35cents a bag for his service. In come cities the taxi that take you to your hotel may have one meter that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for "extra". In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the "extra", especially if he carries your suitcase. If no "extra" is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the billin small change on that table as a tip for the person who has serves you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small - a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort - a tip is not usually expected.1. According to the passage, the practice of giving tipsA) is consistent throughout the world.B) varies from place to place in the USA.C) is consistent in large towns in the USA.D) is consistent in small towns in the USA.2. According to the passage, the following are the people one may tip EXCEPTA) porters.B) taxi drivers.C) waiters.D) cleaners.3. According to the passage, which of the following is INCORRECT?A) "Extra" is a fixed charge in some cities.B) "Extra" is similar to a tip in some cases.C) If the "extra" is paid, one doesn't tip and more.D) Some hotels require people to pay a service charge.4. According to the passage, the amount of money for atipA) is the same across restaurants and hotels.B) depends on how much one pays for his meal.C) generally varies according to the size of one's bag in hotel.D) is usually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.5. From the passage we learn thatA) Americans sometimes are not sure how to tip.B) people in large towns know more about tipping.C) one has to tip no matter how big or small the order is.D) people sometimes don't tip when they are not satisfied.KEYS： BDCBA。

George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn’t like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.Henry manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises(加工资)for his workers. Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead; his problems seemed endless.16.

Irradiation of other meats, such as beef and lamb, is being reviewed. Federal approval does not require that industry adopt the process, and few food processors presently offer irradiated products.Market studies have shown that many consumers are afraid that eating irradiated foods may cause cancer, despite scientific studies that prove the safety of treated foods. Some people argue that more severe government inspection, higher food-safety standards, and more careful-preparation practices by consumers are all that is needed to ensure that food is safe.Consequently, companies currently see no need to spend millions of dollars outfitting processing plants with the equipment necessary for a process that very few shoppers are in favor of.All supermarkets that sell irradiated food must label the food either directly on the packaging, or, in the case of bulk items like fruits and vegetables, by placing a sign nearby. There is no requirement for the labeling of irradiated food served by chain restaurants orhospitals that buy directly from distributors, nor any regulations for products that contain irradiated ingredients.Presently, the FDA allows food to be treated with three types of radiation-gamma rays, high-energy electrons, and X rays-and sets limits on doses, depending on the type of food. The principle is that the dose to be used for a certain type of food should not exceed the amount that is sufficient to kill most harmful insects and bacteria present in it. Different types of food, because of their molecular compositions, may require different doses of radiation.16. According to the passage, killing insects and bacteria present in foods by irradiating is not completely approved by the US government.A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention17.

The largest, a magnitude 5.6 quake, shook thousands of fans in a college football stadium, caused cracks in a few buildings and rattled the nerves of many people who had never felt a quake before. Oklahoma is not an area of the country famousfor its quakes. If you watch the news on TV, you see reports about all sorts of natural disasters —hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires, to name a few. But the most dangerous type of natural disaster, and also the most unpredictable, is the earthquake.Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey estimate that several million earthquakes rattle the globe each year. That may sound scary, but people don’t fee l many of the tremors because they happen in remote and unpopulated regions. Many quakes happen under the ocean, and others have a very small magnitude, or shaking intensity.A magnitude 5.8 earthquake that struck central Virginia the afternoon of August 23, 2011, was felt from central Georgia to southeastern Canada. In many urban areas, including Washington, D.C., and New York City (Wall Street shown), people crowded the streets while engineers inspected buildings.Credit: Wikimedia/Alex Tabak Scientists know about small, remote quakes only because of very sensitive electronic devices called seismometers. These devices detect and measure the size of ground vibrations produced by earthquakes. Altogether, USGS researchers use seismometers to identify and locate about 20,000 earthquakes each year.Although earthquakes can happen anywhere in the world, really big quakes occur only in certain areas. The largest ones register a magnitude 8 or higher and happen, on average, only once each year. Such big ones ty pically occur along the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates.Tectonic plates are huge pieces of Earth’s crust, sometimes many kilometers thick. These plates cover our planet’s surface like a jigsaw puzzle. Often, jagged edges of these plates temporarily lock together. When plates jostle and scrape past each other earthquakes occur. On average, tectonic plates move very slowly — about the same speed as your fingernails grow.But sometimes earthquakes rumble through portions of the landscape far from a plate’s edges. Although less expected, these “mid-plate” tremors can do substantial damage. Some of the biggest known examples rattled the eastern half of the United States two centuries ago. Today, scientists are still puzzling over why the quakes occurred and when similar ones might occur.16.

So he went to Australia, stopping off in many countries between. He also decided to write about the experience and produced a guide for other travelers making similar journeys.In 1970, British airports were used by 32million people. In 2004, the figure was 216 million. In 2030, according to government forecas ts, it will be around 500 million. It’s a growth driven by the emergence of low cost airlines, offering access to all parts of the world for less than £100.This has made a huge contribution to global warming. One return flight from Britain to the US produces the same carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)as a year’s motoring (驾车). A return flight to Australia equals the emissions (排放)of three average cars for a year. And the pollution is released at a height where its effect on climate change is more than double that on the ground.Mark Ellingham built his business on helping people travel. Now he wants to help people stop – at least by air.He is calling for a £100 green tax on all flights to Europe and Africa, and £250 on flights to the rest of the world. He also wants investment to create a low-carbon economy, as well as a halt to airport expansion.Mark Ellingham’s commitment is important because his readers aren’t just the sort of young and adventurous people who would happily jump on a plane to spend a weekend exploring a foreign culture. They are also the sort of people who say they care about the environment. It’s a debate that splits people down the middle.The tourist industry has responded by offering offsetting (补偿) schemes. A small increase in the price of a ticket is used to plant trees.But critics say that it is not enough to just be carbon neutral. We should be actively cutting back on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person, making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to global warming. It may be good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better not to do the damage in the first place.16. Mark Ellingham spent quite a few days in China on his way to Australia 25 years ago. A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention17. Traveling from Britain to any other part of the world may cost you less than £100. A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention18. A round trip flight from Britain to Australia produces the same amount of carbon dioxide as three average cars do in a year.A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention19. Mark Ellingham has never hesitated to encourage people to travel by.A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention20. Mark Ellingham's readers are not interested in environmental protection.A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention21. Critics argue that the best way to protect our environment is not to do any damage to it. A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention22. Mark Ellingham will collaborate with the critics in his efforts to fight global warming. A．Right B. Wrong C. Not mention练习五Keep on FightingTurning once again to the question of invasion, I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee againstinvasion, still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading (封锁) fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled ( 愚弄) the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice (怨恨),the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem ( 战略) and every kind of brutal and treacherous (奸诈的) maneuver( 花招). I think that no idea is so outlandish ( 古怪的) that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace(威胁) of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. This is the resolve of His Majesty's government--every man of them. This is the will of parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious (可憎的) apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag ( 变弱) or fail.We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost might be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated(征服)and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.16. Throughout Britain's history, there has been no guarantee that an invasion would not happen.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17. Napoleon and his army once crossed the English Channel and conquered Britain.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned18. The enemy will use every means conceivable to destroy Britain.A. RightB. WrongC.

1 A few countries are using powerful electromags to develop high-speed trains, called maglev trains. Maglev is short for magic levitation 1 , which means that thesetrains float over a guide way using the basic principles of mags to replace the old steel wheel and track trains.2 If you've ever played with mags, you know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other2. This is the basic principle behind electromagic propulsion. Electromags are similar to other mags in that they attract metal objects, but the magic pull is temporary. You can easily create a small electromag yourself by connecting the ends of a copper wire to the positive and negative ends of an AA-cell battery3. This creates a small magic field. If you disconnect either end of the wire from the battery, the magic field is taken away.3 The magic field created in this wire-and-battery experiment is the simple idea behind a maglev train rail system. There are three ponents to this system: A large electrical power source, metal coils lining a guide way or track, and large guidance mags attached to the underside of the train.4 The big difference between a maglev train and a conventional train is that maglev trains do not have an engine -- at least not the kind of engine used to pull typical train cars along steel tracks4. The engine for maglev trains is rather innoticeable. Instead of using fossil fuels, the magic field created by the electrified coils in the guideway walls and the track bines to propel the trains5.5 The magized coil running along the track, called a guideway, repels the large mags on the train's undercarriage, allowing the train to levitate between 1 to 10 cm above the guideway. Once the train is levitated, power is supplied to the coils within the guideway walls to create a unique system of magic fields that pull and push~ th train along the guideway. The electric current supplied to the coils in the guideway walls is constantlyalternating to change the polarity of the magized coils. This change in polarity causes the magic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the magicfield behind the train adds more forward thrust.6 Maglev trains float on a cushion of air',eliminating friction. This lack of friction allows these trains to reach unprecedented ground transportation speeds of more than 500 kph, or twice as fast as the fastestconventional train. At 500 kph, you could travel from Paris to Rome in just over two hours.Levitate v. 悬浮 electrified v. 使带电Levitation n. 悬浮 magize v. 使带磁guideway n. 导向槽 line v.排列成行propelb vt. 推进 underside n.下侧，下面propulsion n. 推进 undercarriage n. 车盘1. Maglev is short for magic levitation :maglev 是magic levitation 的缩略词。

第1篇 Some things we know about language Many things about language are a mystery , and many will alwaysremain SO . But somethings we do know . First ， we know thatall human beings have a language of some sort . There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language ， no setof speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother . Furthermore ， in historical times ， there has never been a race of men without a language . Second ， there is no such thing as a primitive language . There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped ， who are ， as we say ， uncivilized , but the languages they speak are not primitive . In all known 1 anguages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of yearsin developing . This has not always been well understood ;indeed , the direct contrary has often been stated . Popular ideas of the 1 anguage of the American Indians will illustrate . Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises . Study has proved this to be nonsense . There are ，or were ， hundreds of American Indian languages ， and a 11 of them turn out to be very complicated and very old . They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with ， but they are no more primitive five than English and Greek . A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate . That is , each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language . Finally , we know that language changes . It is natural and normal for language to change ; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones . This is easy to understand if we look backward in time . Change goes on in all aspects of language . Grammatical features change as do speech sounds ， and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly . Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language . 词汇： race / n .种族 primitive /adj .原始的 uncivilized / adj .不开化的，落后的 complexity / n .复杂性，复杂现象 nonsense / n .胡说，没有根据的话。

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.

2019年职称英语考试综合类阅读理解辅导2New US Plan for Disease PreventionUrging Americans to take responsibility for their health1 , Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease，cancer and diabetes.The initiative highlights the cost of chronic diseases2 - the leading causes of death in the United States——and outlines ways that people Can prevent them，including better diet and increased exercise.“In the United States today, 7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness，disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases, "the Health and Human Services Department said in a statement.The causes are often behavioral——smoking，poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.“I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future，”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative.“Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the escalating costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices."Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003.“These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable，yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier, longer lives，”he said.The $15 million is slated to go to communities to promote prevention，pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes，and prevent cancer and strokes.The money will also go to community organizations，clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening，including Pap tests3 for cervical cancer, mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies, and prostate checks.If such cancers were all caught by early screening.the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.练习：1. Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?A)They account for 70% of all deaths.B)They are responsible for most of the health care costs.C)They often result in unhealthy lifestyles.D)They are largely preventable.2.The author mentions all the following as ways of disease prevention EXCEPTA)better diet.B)increased exercise.C)reduction on smoking.D)higher survival rate for cancer.3.The article indicates that more money spent on disease prevention will meanA)greater responsibility of the government.B)much less money needed for disease treatment.C)higher costs of health care.D)more 1ifestyle choices for people.4.The $15 million program is aimed atA)promoting disease prevention.B)building more sidewalks.C)helping needy communities.D)wiping out chronic diseases.1. Early cancer screening can help reduce significantlyA)the death rates for all chronic diseases.B)the kinds of cancer attacking people.C)the cancer incidence rate.D)cancer death rate.答案与题解：1.

He was known as the hero of a hundred adventures.Hercules served a king. The king was afraid of him. So again and again he sent him on difficult tasks. One morning the king sent for him and told him to fetch three golden apples for him from the garden of the Singing Maidens (歌女). But no one knew where the garden was.So Hercules went away. He walked the whole day and the next day and the next. He walked for months before he saw mountains far in the distance one fine morning. One of the mountains was in the shape of a man, with long, long legs and arms and huge shoulders and a huge head. He was holding up the sky. Hercules knew it was Atlas, the Mountain God. So he asked him for help.Atlas answered, "My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you?"Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came backwith three golden apples, he said, "Well, you are going to carry the mountain forever. I'm going to see the king withthe apples." Hercules knew that he couldn't fight him because of the sky on his back. So he shouted："Just one minute's help. My shoulders are hurting. Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion (垫子) for my shoulders."Atlas believed him. He threw down the apples and held up the sky.Hercules picked up the apples and ran back to see the king.16 Hercules was the tallest man in the worldA RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案：A 定位于第一段Once upon a time there was a great Greek hero, Hercules.

2019年职称英语卫生类阅读理解模拟题02During the 1970 season, the club played 42 matches： of these, 34 were League and Cup games, and the remainder were friendly matches. In the League, the Club finished in third place, two points behind the champions. Out of 28 League games, 16 were won, 8 were drawn and 4 were lost, whilst the Club managed to reach the semi-final of the Challenge Cup for the first time in its history. Of the eight friendly matches, four were won, two were drawn, and two were lost, but these defeats were at the hands of visiting teams whose standards were generally much higher than those of players of this area.At the same time, the standard of play shown by our own team was markedly superior to that seen in previous years, and this success is largely due to the intensive training programme which has been supervised by the team captain. In this connection, the provision of adequate trainingfacilities must remain a priority, and the erection of an indoor gymnasium or hall in which the players can practise on wet evenings is essential. It would do much to supplement the outdoor training being carried on, and would help the Club in the recruitment of younger players.There are now 28 players registered with the Club, and many more have asked to join but have been discouraged by the fact that the Club fields only one team. With the improvement in the financial position, concerning which the Treasurerwill report in a minute. I suggest that the Committeeconsider entering a team in the Second Division of the League.。

2019年职称英语备考辅导综合阅读必备练习题二 Goal of American Education
Education is an enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety.
Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone — not
just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.
Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millio ns of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.
The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try
to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.
This is America's answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves
in the fast-moving time：“How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow tha t one can neither predict nor understand?”

美国教育的目标
教育是美国人的生活中很重要的一部分，花销也大。
其规模宏大，种类多样。
与其他绝大部分国家相比，美国教育的不同在于美国教育是为每一个人设置的~"不但仅为享有特权的优等生。
学校是要满足每个孩子的需要，不论其水平如何，同时也要满足社会本身的需求。
这意味着公立学校提供的教育不只限于学术方面的课程。
很多人来到美国之后会吃惊地发现，高中除了提供传统课程，例如：数学、历史和语言之外，他们还提供一些课程如打字、缝纫、无线电修理、计算机课程或驾驶训练课程。
学生选择课程是根据个人喜好、目标以及水平水平。
美国教育的潜在目标是将每一个孩子的水平最充分地发挥出来，培养每一个孩子的公民和社区觉悟感。
成千上万的移民者涌入这个国家，他们的出身背景不同。
传统上,学校
在建立民族团结以及使移民者美国化两方面起着重大作用。
在社区中，尤其在小城镇，学校仍然起着重要作用。
大家对美国的教学方法彳以乎也很陌生。
因为这种教学方法不但不正式，而且不把重点放在学习具体知识上。
相反，美国人教孩子独立思考，教他们自己去开发自己的智慧以及创造水平。
学生花很多时间学
习怎样使用参考资料、图书馆、数据以及计算机。
美国人认为只要孩
子具有好的推理水平，好的研究方法，他们就能在以后找到自己所需
的具体知识。
他们还认为懂得怎样解决问题比积累事实更重要。
在这个变化万千的时代里，全世界细心的父母都在思考一个尖锐而深
刻的问题：“怎样为孩子的明天做准备呢？孩子的明天既不能预料也
不能理解。
”上述的教学方法正是美国对这个问题的回答。
