At least one out of every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning to read, even when the students are good at other subjects.(1)Researchers from Yale University, US, studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State. As part of the study, 37 struggling readers received special tutoring.Every day, instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes (音素). (2)By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students' brains.(3) This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read. This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.A year later, the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gore through the special tutoring, and they continued to do well in reading tests (4) However, some researchers still doubt the study. (5)A Many adults are interested in matching sounds with lettersB The students also practiced reading aloud and spellingC The biggest challenge for many of these kids, scientists say, is matching sounds with letters.D Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading program didn't show the same progress.E The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side.F They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is moreefficient.答案:1.

远程制止偷车贼超速驾驶在偷来的汽车里,偷车贼以为自己大获全胜。

但是他马上就会又惊又恼。

车上已经被装了远程制动装置,一个几英里以外的控制中心发来的无线信号将确保盗贼一旦启动引擎,他就不能再次发动汽车了。

目前,这种装置只用于卡车队或者用于建筑工地的特殊车辆上。

但是远程制动技术很快就会逐步应用到普通汽车上。

并且应该在两个月之内用在英国的普通汽车上。

计划是这样的。

把一个集合有微型无绳电话,微量处理器,存储器以及全球定位系统的卫星接收器的控制合子安装在汽车上。

如果汽车被盗,一个被编码的无绳电话信号就会告诉这个装置停止车辆引擎控制系统来阻止引擎再次被启动。

甚至还有一些人主张计划将制动装置装在运行着的车辆上,可是这一来人们就会担心这个系统的安全性。

在英国,一系列的技术装置已经让盗车贼步履维艰了。

玛丁兰多来自位于贝克郡的一个由汽车保险工业投资成立的名为撒策姆的安全研究机构。

他说:“车辆盗窃的手法已经有所改变。

”他还声称只要是10年以上的汽车,他就能用几样的简单的工具有几分钟之内教会一个新手怎样的偷车。

现代车却远没有这么简单,因为它们的引擎管理计算机装置只有接收到一个独一无二的由点火钥匙发送过来的身份密份才可以启动汽车。

自1997年以来,在英国,技术人员已经利用此项技术帮助减少了31%的涉及车辆犯罪案。

但是不死心的盗贼们却还在一直想方设法偷车。

例如很多时候,他们在夜里盗走主人的汽车钥匙进而偷车。

在2000年,英国21%的车辆被盗案是由于主人的钥匙被盗,这个数字比前一年增长了1倍。

远程控制的制动系统给盗贼设置了一个全新的障碍。

包括撒策姆,公安部门,保险公司以及安全技术公司的这样一个群体已经为体系开发出了一个标准,将比顾客所预期的更早地被很快推广到市场上。

智能汽车开车需要目光锐利,耳朵灵敏,反应敏捷和手脑间的协作。

许多人类司机这些条件都具备,并可控制一辆急速行驶的汽车。

但一辆智能车如何进行自控?智能车中有一位虚拟驾驶员。

阅读判断What Is a Dream?1.Not everyone agrees that dreams are meaningful. A2.According to Freud,people dream about things that they cannot talk about. A3.Jung believed that dreams did not help one to understand oneself.B4.In the past,people believed that dreams involved emotions. C5.According to Domhoff,babies do not have the same ability to dream as adults do.A6.Men and women dream about different things.A7.Scientists agree that dreams predict the future.B什么是梦?许多世纪以来,人们都对他们梦到的奇异事情感到疑惑。

一些心理学家认为,这种大脑的夜间活动并没有特殊含义。

另一些人则认为,梦是生命中重要的一部分。

实际上,许多专家认为,梦能揭示人的心理和情感活动。

近代以前,很多人认为梦传递的是上帝的信息。

直到20世纪,人们才开始从科学的角度研究梦。

奥地利心理学家西格蒙德·弗洛伊德或许是第一个用科学的方法研究梦的人。

在他的著作《梦的解析》(1900)中,弗洛伊德写道,梦是一个人愿望的表达。

他认为梦打开了一扇窗,让人们得以表达在生活中不敢表达的情感、思想和恐惧。

瑞士精神病学家卡尔·荣格曾是弗洛伊德的学生,但他对梦的看法与弗洛伊德不同。

他认为,做梦的目的是要给做梦的人传递一种信息。

而人们想想自已做的梦,便能对自己有一个更深刻的了解。

比如,如果梦到从高处坠落,那么他应该反思自己是不是白视过高。

2014年职称英语 补全短文(2) The World’s Longest Bridge

2014年职称英语 补全短文(2) The World’s Longest Bridge

第二篇 The World’s Longest BridgeRumor has it that 1a legendary six-headed monster lurks in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily. 1 When completed in 2010, the world’s longest bridge will weigh nearly 300,000 tons equivalent to the iceberg that sank the Titanic — and stretch 5 kilomerers long. “that’s nearly 50 percent longer than any other bridge ever built,” says structural engineer Shane Rixon.2 They’re suspension bridges, massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges. A suspensionbridge needs just two towers to shoulder the structure’s mammoth weight, thanks to hefty supporting cables slung between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge. The Messina Strait Bridge will have two 54,00-ton towers, which will support most of the bridge’s load. The beefy cables of the bridge, each 1.2 meter in diameter, will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built. When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005, the first job will be to erect two 370 meter-tall steel towers. 3 Getting these cables up will be something 2. It’s not just their length — totally 5.3 kilometers— but their weight. 4After lowering vertical “suspender” cables from th e main cables, builders will erect a 60meter-wide 54,630-ton steel roadway, or deck — wide enough to accommodate 12 lanes of traffic. The deck’s weight will pull down on the cables with a force of 70,500 tons. In return, the cables yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of 139,000 tons — equivalent to the weight of about 100,000 cars. Those anchors are essential. 5词汇: legendary /5ledVEndEri/ adj.传说中的 gorge /^C:dV/ n.峡谷 monster /5mCnstE/ n.怪物,妖怪 mammoth /5mAmEW/ adj.巨大的 lurk /lE:k/ v.潜伏 hefty /5hefti/ adj.高强度的 Sicily 西西里岛(意大南部) sling /sliN/ v.用悬带吊挂( slung ,slung) Tyrrhenian Sea 第勒尼安海 beefy /5bi:fI/ adj.结实的 Messina Strait 墨西拿海峡 yank /jANk/ v.拽注释:1.

第四部分阅读理解第一篇福特放弃电动汽车分析人士评论,福特汽车公司放弃电动汽年的举动有力地证明了这种技术是行不通的。

通用汽车公司和日本本田汽车公司早于1999年就停止了电池动力汽车的生产,转而开发燃料电池和电池内燃混合机,这对消费者更有吸引力。

福特宣布它现在也要做同样的尝试。

3年前,福特推出名为Think City的双排座汽车和Think或Think Neighbor系列高尔夫车,希望能销售5000辆汽车、10000高尔夫车。

但由于需求不足,截至2002年仅生产了大约1000辆汽车,售出的高尔夫车还不足1700辆。

“关键是我们认为电动车不能代表大众市场环保交通的未来”,福特欧洲区的Tim Holmes于周五说,“我们感觉自己对电力车已做了昀好的尝试。

”Think City系列的运行里程仅53英里,电池充电需6小时。

通用公司的EVI电力车也仅能运行100英里。

昂贵的电池也意味着电动汽车的造价比汽油动力车高出许多。

日本丰田产的RAV4EV系列电动车在美国的售价达42000美元,而同系列的汽油动力车仅售17000美元。

丰田和日产汽车公司是现在仅存的两大电动车制造商。

“应该说电池动力车已经获得了充分的机会。

福特现已转向电池内燃混合机开发项目,我们应据此评价他们的发展。

”Roger Higman,英国Friends of the Earth组织的一位高级交通运动代表这样对《环保新闻》评论说。

日本本田和丰田公司推出的混合机汽车在过去几年取得了良好的销售业绩。

混合动力车比汽油机车运行里程更长,电池又可自行充电。

福特表示,他们认为这样的机车有助于达到美国新制订的车辆排放规定。

不过,这些规定究竟允许怎样的排放物现在还不十分清楚。

六月份通用和戴姆勒克莱斯勒公司赢得一项法庭裁决,可推迟两年执行一项加州法令,该法令要求汽车生产商在2003年前向该州提供10万辆零排放和其他低排放汽车。

制造商希望修改此法令,允许他们生产更多低排放而不是零排放的汽车。

2014职称英语教材理工类B级新增文章一、阅读判断第8篇:What Is a Dream?(B级)What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modem times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams ( 1900 ), Freud wrote that dreams are an expressions of a person's wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud' s. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Modem-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.Dornhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams.3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modem and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur,you shouldn't panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.词汇:psychologist n.心理学家 psychiatrist n.精神病学家(医生)Austrian adj.奥地利的 gender n.性别注释:1.SigmundFreud西格蒙德.费洛伊德(1856-1939),犹太人,奥地利精神病医生及精神分析学家。

Avoiding traffic jams in Los Angeles may be impossible, but the city's colorful freeway murals(壁画)can brighten even the worst mute. Paintings that depict(描述)famous people and historical scenes cover office buildings and freeway walls all aess the city. With a collection of more than 2,000 murals, Los Angeles is the unofficial mural capital of the world.But the bination of graffiti(涂鸦), pollution, and hot sun has left many L.A. murals in terrible condition. (46)in the past, experts say, little attention was given to caring for public art. Artists were even expected to maintaintheir own works, not an easy task with cars racing by along the freeway.(47)The work started in xx. So far, 16 walls have been selected and more may be added later.Until about 1960, public murals in Los Angeles were rare. But in the 1960s and 1970s, young L.A. artists began to study early 20th-century Mexican mural painting(48) The most famous mural in the city is Judith Baca's "The Great Wall," a 13-foot-high(4-meter-high)painting that runsfor half a mile (0.8 kilometer) in North Hollywood, (49)it took eight years to plete—400 underprivileged teenagers painted the designs—and is probably the longest mural in the world.One of the murals that will be restored now is Kent Twitchell's "Seventh Street Altarpiece." which he painted for the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. (50) Twitchell said, "it was meant as a kind of gateway through which the traveler to L.A. must drive. The open hands represent peace."Artists often call murals the people's art. Along a busy freeway or hidden in a quiet neighborhood, murals can teach people who would never pay money to see fine art in a museum, "Murals give a voice to the silent majority," said one artist.46.【题干】【选项】A.The city trying to stop the spread of graffiti, has painted over some of the murals plete.B.This striking work depicts two people facing each other on opposite sides of the freeway near downtown Los Angeles.C.Artists like murals because they like the work of Mexican artists.D.Now the city is beginning a huge project to restore the city's murals.E.The mural represents the history of ethnic groups in California.F.Soon, their murals became a symbol of the city's cultural expressions and a showcase for L.A.'s cultural diversity.正确答案:A47.【题干】【选项】A.The city trying to stop the spread of graffiti, has painted over some of the murals plete.B.This striking work depicts two people facing each other on opposite sides of the freeway near downtown Los Angeles.C.Artists like murals because they like the work of Mexican artists.D.Now the city is beginning a huge project to restore the city's murals.E.The mural represents the history of ethnic groups in California.F.Soon, their murals became a symbol of the city's cultural expressions and a showcase for L.A.'s cultural diversity.正确答案:D48.【题干】【选项】A.The city trying to stop the spread of graffiti, has painted over some of the murals plete.B.This striking work depicts two people facing each other on opposite sides of the freeway near downtown Los Angeles.C.Artists like murals because they like the work of Mexican artists.D.Now the city is beginning a huge project to restore the city's murals.E.The mural represents the history of ethnic groups in California.F.Soon, their murals became a symbol of the city's cultural expressions and a showcase for L.A.'s cultural diversity.正确答案:C49.【题干】【选项】A.The city trying to stop the spread of graffiti, has painted over some of the murals plete.B.This striking work depicts two people facing each other on opposite sides of the freeway near downtown Los Angeles.C.Artists like murals because they like the work of Mexican artists.D.Now the city is beginning a huge project to restore the city's murals.E.The mural represents the history of ethnic groups in California.F.Soon, their murals became a symbol of the city's cultural expressions and a showcase for L.A.'s cultural diversity.正确答案:E。

The Day a Language Died
When Carios Westez died at the age of 76,a language died,too. Westez,more commonly known as Red Thunder Cloud,was the last speaker of the Native American language Catawba. Anyone who wants to hear the songs of the Catawba can contact the Smithsonian Institution in Washington,D.C.,where,back in the 1940s,Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations.________ (46)They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The language that people used to speak is gone forever.
We are all aware of the danger that modern industry can cause the world‘s ecology(生态)。

However,few people are aware of the impact widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese,Spanish,Russian,and Hindi have become powerful languages as well. As these languages become more powerful,their use as tools of business and culture increases. As well,_________ (47)When this happens,hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few die out.
Scholars believe there are around 6,000 languages around the world,but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years. There are many examples,Araki is a native language of the island of Vanuatu,located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults,so like Catawba,Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers. _________ (48)In the Americas,100 languages,each of which has fewer than 300 speakers,are dying out.
Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the danger of language death and to try to do something about it. He was not actually born into the Catawba tribe,and the language was not his mother tongue._________ (49)。

The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular. Now he is gone,and the language is dead.
What does it mean for the rest of us when a language disappears?When a plant insect or animal species dies,it is easy to understand what has been lost and to for the balance of the natural word. However,language is only a product of the mind. To be the last remaining speaker of a language,like Red Thunder,must be a peculiarly lonely destiny,almost as strange and terrible as being the last surviving member of a dying species.________ (50)
A .As these languages become more powerful,their use as tools of business and culture increase.
B .However,he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carcinoma where he learned the language.
C .Papus New Guines is an extremely rich source of different language,but more than 100 of them are in danger of extinction(灭绝)。

D .For the rest of us,when a language dies,we lose the possibility of a unique way of seeing and describing the world.
E .Some people might want to learn some of these songs by hearts.
F .These languages don‘t have many native speakers.
答案:E A F B D。
