Earth-based solar cells,by contrast,can only collect sun.Light during daytime and when skies are clear.But space-based solar power must grapple(努力克服)with the high cost per kilogram of launching things into space,says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette,Indiana,"If you're talking about it being economically viable or power of the Earth,it's a tough go. “he says.Cal Boerman,Solaren's director of energy services,says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down."We knew we had to come up with a different,revolutionary design,"he says. A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system’s weight,including using inflatable minors to focus sunlight on solar cells,so a smaller number can collect the same amount of energy.But using minors introduces other chaHenges,including keeping the solar cells from overheating,says Schwartz."You have to take care of heat dissipation(散发)because you're now concentrating a lot of energy in one place,"he says. According to the company's patent,Solaren's solar cells will be connected to radiators to help keep them cool.Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space-based solar power work,it is not expecting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy. Laws in California and other states require increasing use of renewable energy in coming years,he points out."To meet those needs,we're going to need all types of renewable energy sources,"he says.16.Solarpower satellites will use radio waves to beam energy down from space.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17.Solaren is going to design 200 solar-power satellites.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned18.Spacebased solar cells could collect solar power only when skies are clear.A.

2011年职称英语理工类A级考试试题Some People Do Not Taste Salt Like Others(A级)(无换题现象)Low-salt foods may be harder for some people to like than others, according to a study by a Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences1 food scientist. The research indicates that genetic factors influence some of the difference in the levels of salt we like to eat.Those conclusions are important because recent, well-publicized efforts to reduce the salt content in food2 have left many people struggling to accept fare that simply does not taste as good to them as it does to others3, pointed out John Hayes, assistant professor of food science, who was lead investigator? on the study.Diets high in salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. That is why public health experts and food companies are Working together on ways to help consumers lower salt intake through foods that are enjoyable to eat. This study increases understanding of salt preference and consumption.The research involved 87 carefully screened participants who sampled salty foods such as soup and chips, on multiple occasions, spread out over weeks5. Test subjects were 45 men and 42 women, reportedly healthy, ranging in age from 20 to 40 years. The sample was composed of individuals who were not actively modifying their dietary intake and did not smoke cigarettes. They rated the intensity of taste on a commonly used scientific scale, ranging from barely detectable to strongest sensation of any kind."Most of us like the taste of salt. However, some individuals eat more salt, both because they like the taste of saltiness more, and also because it is needed to block other unpleasant tastes in food," said Hayes. "Supertasters, people who experience tastes more mtensely, consume more salt than nontasters do. Snack foods have saltiness as their primary flavor, and at least for these foods, m more is better, so the supertasters seem to like them more. "However, supertasters also need higher levels of salt to block unpleasant bitter tastes in foods such as cheese, Hayes noted. "For example, cheese is a wonderful blend of dairy flavors from fermented, milk, but also bitter tastes from ripening that are blocked by salt," he said. "A supertaster finds low-salt cheese unpleasant because the bitterness is too pronounced6.Hayes cited research done more than 75 years ago by a chemist named Fox and a geneticist named Blakeslee, showing that individuals differ in their ability to taste certain chemicals. As a result, Hayes explained, we know that a wide range in taste acuity exists, and this variation is as normal as variations in eye andhair color."Some people, called supertasters, describe bitter compounds as being extremely bitter, while others, called nontasters, find these same bitter compounds to be tasteless or only weary bitter," he said. "Response to bitter compounds is one of many ways to identify biological differences in food preference because supertasting7 is not limited to bitterness. (476)1.

2011年全国职称英语考试真题答案理工类(A级)第1 部分:词汇选项1 A obscure 不清楚的、晦涩的,在四个选项中和unclear 同义,obvious明显的,恰好是obscure 的反义词;major 和minor 分别为"主要的"和"次要的"意思。

2 A considerably 意为"相当大地、在很大程度上",是副词,修饰动词,故用greatly 替换。

又如: His English has been considerably improved. 他的英语大有起色。

slightly 为它的反义词。

3 C动词urge"敦促、催促"的意思,push 通常的意义是"推",但可以转义而具有和urge 相同的意义,又如:The residents are pushing the local authorities to take me measures to handle the pollution problem immediately. 居民们敦促地方当局立即采取措施处理污染问题。

4 D approach 做动词有多种解释,其中一种和handle 意义相近,即"处理、对待"等,如:approach the issue with an impartial attitude 已不偏不倚的态度来对待这个问题,approach the subject from a historical point of view 从历史的角度来看这个主题。

6 D tolerate 是"忍受"的意思,如: tolerate the heat 忍受酷热,tolerate the loneliness 忍受孤独,tolerate the humiliation 忍受侮辱。

Earth Rocks On Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years. Scientists know that Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust, eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question. Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust (地壳) started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is 1.3 billion years earlier than previous ones. Not long before 3.8 billion years ago, lots of asteroids (小行星) were pummeling Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, molten state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface as lava. In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal(上地壳) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3.7 and 3.8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air. The researchers recently look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock. To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock, called magma(岩浆), flowed up slowly from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the area cooled, forming what we see today. That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of a plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago. 16 The ground beneath our feet is indeed still.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned 17 The shape of lands and oceans are slowly changed with the movements of plates.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned 18 Earth cooled down shortly after it was formed.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned 19 Scientists once estimated that Earth's crust started shifting three billion years ago.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned 20.It took a long time for the melted crust to become hard.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned 21.The formation of the Isua supracrustal belt is thought to have started about 3.8 billion years ago.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned 22.

It is particularly marketed as a platform for audio and visual media such as books, periodicals(期刊), movies, music, and games, as well as web content. At about 1.5 pounds (680 grams), its size and weight are between those of most contemporary smartphones and laptop computers. Apple released the IPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 years./The IPad runs the same operating system as IPod Touch and IPhone. It can run its own applications as well as ones developed for IPhone. Without modification, it will only run programs approved by Apple and distributed via its online store.Like IPhone and iPod Touch, the IPad is controlled by a multitouch display—a break from most previous tablet computers, which uses a pressure-triggered stylus(触控笔). The IPad uses a Wi-Fi data connection to browse(浏览)the Internet, load and stream media, and install software. Some models also have a 3G wireless dataconnection which can connect to GSM 3G data networks. The devices is managed and synchronized(同步)by ITunes on a personal computer via USB cable.An IPad has different features and applications one can use to execute differentand interesting things. There are lots of IPad applications that the owner can use to enhance the way they communicate. Some of these are how to use social networkingsites and other online options. One of the most common uses is for e-mail services.IPand applications like Markdown Mail allow the adoption of specific and particularoptions. They enable the owner to personalize their emailaccounts./While the IPad is mostly used by consumers it also has been taken up by businessusers. Some companies are adopting IPads in their business offices by distributingor making available IPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace includelawyers responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health recordsduring patient exams, and managers approving employee requests. A survey by Frost& Sullivan shows that IPad usage in workplaces is linked to the goals of increasedemployees productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue.16、Paragraph 2---B17、Paragraph 3---F18、Paragraph 4---D19、Paragraph 5---EA.

Desert Island96、The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight97、line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city98、would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points,99、you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what 100、is called a drowned coastline. (46) At that time, the whole area that is 101、now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier 102、(冰川)descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, and they103、sank into the sea./104、As the mountain sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining 105、land, forming a series of twisting inlets and lagoons(咸水湖). The highest parts 106、of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. (47) 107、Marine fossils found here were 225 feet above sea level, indicating the level of108、the shoreline prior to the glacier.109、The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly two thousand 110、islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving 111、communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was essentially formed112、as two distinct islands. (48)/113、For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor,114、afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently though, Bar Harbor has become a 115、rapidly growing arts community as well. But, the best part of the island is the116、unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Because the island sits on the 117、boundary line between the temperate(温带)and sub-Arctic zones, the islandsupports118、the plants and animals of both zones as well as beach, inland, and alpine(高山119、的)plants. (49) The establishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means 120、that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people, not just the121、wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists 122、as well as enjoy camping, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time 123、at the archeological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island. 124、The best view on Mt. Desert Island is from the top of Cadillac125、Mountain. (50) From the summit, you can gaze back toward the mainland or126、out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty created by a retreating127、glacier.128、A. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds129、B. Mt. Desert island is one of the most famous of all of the islands left behind130、by the glacier.131、C. The wealthy residents of Mt. Desert Island selfishly keep it to themselves132、D. The term comes from the activity of the ice age.133、E. This mountain rises 1,532 feet, making it the highest mountain on the Atlantic134、seashore.135、F. It is split almost in half by Sones Sond, a deep and narrow stretch of water seven 136、miles long.137、46. D. The term comes from the activity of the ice age./138、47. B. Mt. Desert island is one of the most famous of all of the islands left behind 139、by the glacier.140、48. F. It is split almost in half by Sones Sond, a deep and narrow stretch of water141、seven miles long.142、49. A. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many143、birds.144、50. E: This mountain rises 1,532 feet, making it the highest mountain on the Atlantic 145、seashore. 六、完形填空146、Young Adults Who Exercise Get Higher IQ Scores147、Young adults who are fit have a higher IQ 1 and are more 1 likly to go on 148、to university,reveals a major new study2 carried out at the Sahlgrenska Academy3 149、and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.150、The results were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy 151、of Sciences152、(PNAS)4.The study involved 1.2 million Swedish men doing military service who 153、were born between 1950 and 1976.The research group analysed the 2 resultof154、both physical and IQ tests the youngsters took right after they started serving the155、army.156、The study shows a clear link 3 between good physical fitness and 157、better results for the IQ test.The strongest links are for 4 thinking and158、verbal comprehension.But it is only fitness that plays a 5 in the results159、for the IQ test5,and not strength.―Being fit means that you also have good heart 160、and lung 6 and that your brain gets plenty of 7 ,"says Michael 161、Nilsson,professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy and chief physician at the Sahlgrenska 162、University Hospital.―This may be one of the reasons 8 we can see a clear 163、link with fitness,but not with muscular 9 .We are also seeing that there 164、are growth factors that are important.‖165、By analysing data for twins,the researchers have been 10 to determine 166、that it is primarily environmental factors and not genes that explain the link167、between fitness and a 11 IQ.168、―We have also shown that those youngsters who 12 their physical fitness 169、between the ages of 15 and 18 increase their cognitive performance,‖says Mafia170、Aberg,researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy and physician at Aby health centre.―This171、being the case6 ,physical 13 is a subject that has an important place in 172、schools,and is an absolute must7 if we want to do well in maths and other theoretical 173、subjects."174、The researchers have also compared the results from fitness175、tests 14 national service8 with the socio-economic status of the men later 176、in 15 .Those who were fit at 18 were more likely to go into higher education,177、and many secured more qualified jobs.178、练习:179、1.A carefully B secretly C likely D happily180、2.A answers B works C scores D results181、3.A behind B between C among D without182、4.A logical B critical C typical D positive 5.A place B game C role D trick183、6.A capacity B disease C shape D treatment184、7.A change B hydrogen C oxygen D memory185、8.A what B why C how D where186、9.A exercise B training C strength D movement187、10.A able B clever C lucky D clear188、11.A moderate B average C lower D higher189、12.A ignore B improve C like D determine190、 1 3.A examination B labour C movement D education191、14.A before B after C without D during192、l 5.A marriage B life C residence D service193、51. carried 52. involved 53. results 54. between 55. logical194、56. role 57. capacity 58. strength 59. able 60.explain195、61. improve 62. subject 63. if 64. with 65. likely196、答案与题解:197、1.C 本文第一句就将主题和盘托出:Young adults who are fit have a higher IQ(身198、体健康的年轻人智商也高)。

Where Has the Salt Come from?Every now and then,we meet a fact about our earth that makes us feel strange and no answer for the fact has yet been found. Such a fact is the existence of salt in the oceans. How did it get there?We simply do not know how the salt got into the ocean! We do know,of course,that salt is water-soluble,and so passes into the oceans with rainwater. The salt of the earth…s surface is constantly being dissolved (溶解) and is passing into the ocean.But we do not know whether this can explain the huge quantity of salt in oceans,if all the oceans were dried up,enough salt would be left to build a wall 180 miles high and a mile thick. Such a wall would reach once around the world at the Equator (赤道)!The common salt that we all use is produced from seawater or the water of salt lakes,from salt springs (源泉) and from deposits of rock salt. The concentration (浓度) of salt in seawaterranges from about three per cent to three-and-one-half percent. The Dead Sea,which covers an area of about 340 square miles,contains about 11,600,000,000 tons of salt!On the average, a gallon (加仑) of seawater contains about a quarter of a pound of salt. The beds of rock salt that are found in various parts of the world were all originally formed by the evaporation (蒸发) of seawater millions of years ago. It is believed that the thick rock-salt deposits were formed after about nine-tenth of the volume of seawater had been evaporated.Most commercial salt is obtained from rock salt. The usual method is to drill wells (井) down to the salt beds. Pure “water is pumped down (抽进去) through a pipe. The water dissolves the salt and it is forced through another pipe up to the surface.16 We have not fully understood how salt got into the ocean.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 The author is sure that the dissolved salt from the earth…s surface is the only source of the huge quantity of salt found in oceans.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 If all the oceans were dried up,the salt thus obtained would be extremely great in size.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 The percentage of salt content in the Red Sea is higher than that in the Dead Sea.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 Beds of rock salt are found in every part of the world.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 After evaporation,about ten percent of seawater becomes rock salt.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Most commercial salt is obtained from seawater.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23~30题,每题1分,共8分)阅读下面这篇短文,短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2~5段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项,分别完成每个句子。

Early Ideas about the Universe1Early man got his ideas about the universe by looking at the stars as you do. He observed carefully,and learned many things about the sun,the moon,and the stars.2Suppose you were asked to collect evidence about the sun as early man did. You might go out morning after morning and see it come up in the east. Even on cloudy mornings,you would observe that the darkness goes away and the world becomes light. You might not see the sun but would be sure it is there,because you notice that the earth warms up. As you continued,the sun climbs higher in the sky each day during part of the year. It stays in the sky longer. The earth gets warmer. Things begin to grow. It is spring and then summer.3After a while the sun stays in the sky for shorter and shorter periods. Many plants begin to die. Leaves fall. Winter comes. Year after year this is repeated and you cannot tell exactly why it happens. But you realize that the sun seems to make the difference. Primitive (原始的) man felt that since the sun was so powerful it must be a god. It may seem silly to us now to worship (崇拜) a sun-god,but primitive man was right about the importance of the sun to life on earth.4You have been told that the world is round. But suppose no one had ever taught you that the world was like a huge ball. Would you have ever thought of it yourself? You cannot see the curve (曲线) of the earth at once. You would have no idea of how big it was. That…s why early man believed that the earth was small and fiat. Such ideas appeared from the evidence they had.5If you watch the stars night after night,you will see them rise and set. As you look at the sky,it is not difficult to imagine that you are in the center of a vast collection of twinkling (闪烁) lights. Some early astronomers (天文学家) believed the sky was a crystal shell or series of crystalshells,one inside the other. They believed this because that is what the night sky looked like. For many centuries,men believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun,the moon,and the stars circled around it.1Paragraph 2 。
