职称英语综合A阅读理解原文：The National Trust
职称英语综合A阅读理解原文：The National Trust原文来自于职称英语教材综合类阅读判断第十篇第十四篇The National TrustThe National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation forpublic enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trusthas received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich Governmentdepartment. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside andhistoric buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary supportfrom members of the public’. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty andplaces of historical interest.The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses andcastles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to theTrust together with the 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicityand started the Trust’s “Country House Schem e”. Under this scheme, with the help of theGovernment and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to thepublic about one hundred and fifty of these old houses2. Last year about one and three quaners of amillion people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge.In addition to country houses and open spaces the Trust now owns some examples of ancientwind and water mills3 , nature reserves4, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand fivehundred cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages noone is allowed to build, develop ‘or disturb the old village environment in any way and all thehouses are maintained in their originalsixteenth-century style. Over four hundred thousand acres ofcoastline , woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbancesof any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect thepeace, beauty and wildlife.So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big and important organizationand an essential and respected part of national life, preserving all that is of great natural beauty andof historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions oftourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.注释：1. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.它是个慈善机构，靠公众中的会员自愿支持它才得以生存。
2020年职称英语考试《综合A》阅读理解真题及答案
2020年职称英语考试《综合A》阅读理解真题及答案Black Holes Trigger Stars to Self-DestructScientists have long understood that supermassive black holes weighing millions or billions of suns can tear apart stars that come too close. The black hotels gravity pulls harder on the nearest part of the star, an imbalance that pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours, once it gets close enough.Scientists say this Uneven pulling is not the only hazard facing the star. The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy the star from within. Matthieu Brassart and Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon, France, carried out computer simulations of the final moments of such an unfortunate star's life,as it veered towards a supermassive black hole.When the star gets close enough, the uneven forcesflatten it into a pancake shape. Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside the star enough to trigger intense nuclear reactions that would tear it apart. But other studies had suggested that the picture would be complicated by shock waves generated during the flattening process and that no nuclear explosion should occur.The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail,and found that even when their effects are included,the conditions favor a nuclear explosion. "Therewill be an explosion of the star-it will be completelydestroyed," Brassart says. Although the explosion obliterates the star, it saves some of the star's matter from being devoured by the black hole. The explosion is powerful enough to hurl much of the star's matter out of the black hole's reach, he says.The devouring of stars by black holes may already have been observed, although at a much later stage. It is thought that several months after the event that rips the star apart,its matter starts swirling into the hole itself. It heats up as it does so, releasing ultraviolet light and X-rays.If stars disrupted near black holes really do explode, then they could in principle allow these events to be detected at a much earlier stage, says Jules Hatpern of Columbia University in New York, US. "It may make it possible to see the disruption of that star immediately if it gets hot enough," he says.Brassart agrees. "Perhaps it can be observed in the X-rays and gamma rays, but it's something that needs to be more studied," he says. Supernova researcher Chris Fryer of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, US, says the deaths of these stars are difficult to simulate, and he is not sure whether the researchers have proven their case that they explode in the process.36.【题干】Something destructive could happen to a star that gets too close to a black hole. Which of the following destructive statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?【选项】A.The black hole could tear apart the star.B.The black hole could trigger a nuclear explosion in the star.C.The black hole could dwindle its size considerably.D.The black hole could devour the star.【答案】C【解析】37.【题干】According to the third paragraph, researchers differed from each other in the problem of_____【选项】A.whether nuclear reaction would occur.B.whether the stars would increase its density and temperature.C.whether shock waves would occur.D.whether the uneven forces would flatten the stars.【答案】A【解析】38.【题干】According to the fourth paragraph, which ofthe following is NOT true?【选项】A.No nuclear explosion would be triggered inside the star.B.The star would be destroyed completely.。

2020职称英语《综合类》阅读理解练习题及答案(1) Technology Transfer in GermanyWhen it comes to translating basic research into industrial success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nation's vast industrial base has been fed constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science. And though German prosperity (繁荣) has faltered (衰退) over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit.Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing upall over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies.Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企业家), the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity-driven, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste ofmoney because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.While this debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe's largest organisation for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12,000 people. It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.1What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?ATechnology transfer.BGood management.CHard work.DFierce competition.2Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?AIt is free.BIt is profit-driven.CIt is widely available.DIt is curiosity-driven.3The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology inAAsia.BUSA.CEurope.DAfrica.4When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?AIn 1940.BLast year.CAfter the unification.DIn 1949.5The word "expertise" in line 3 could be best replaced byA"experts".B"scientists".C"scholars".D"special knowledge".01.

2020年职称英语理工A阅读判断真题及答案
2020年职称英语理工A阅读判断真题及答案阅读判断The Greatest of Victorian EngineersIn the hundred years up to 1860, the work of a smallgroup of construction engineers carried forward the enormous social and economic change that we associate with theIndustrial Revolution in Britain. The most important of these engineers was Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whose work in shipping, bridge-building, and railway construction, to name just three fields, both challenged and motivated his colleagues. He was the driving force behind a number of the hugely ambitious projects, some of which resulted in works which are still in use today.The son of an engineer, Brunel apprenticed with hisfather at an early age on the building of the Thames Tunnel.At the age of just twenty, he became engineer in charge ofthe project. This impressive plan to bore under the Thames twice suffered two major disasters when the river broke through into the tunnel when the second breach(决口)occurredin 1872, Brunel was seriously injured during rescue operation and further work was halted.While recovering from his injuries, Brunel entered a design competition for a new bridge over the Avon Gorge near Clifton. The original judge of the competition was Thomas Telford, a leading civil engineer of his day, who rejectedall entries to the competition in favor of his own design. After considerable scandal, a second contest was held and Brunel's design was accepted. For reasons of funding, however,exacerbated(加剧) by social unrest in Bristol, the project was abandoned in 1843 with only the towers completed. After Brunel’s death, it was decided to begin work on it again, partly so that the bridge could form a fitting memorial to the great engineer. The entire structure was finally completed in 1864. Today, the well-known Clifton Suspension Bridge is a symbol of Bristol, just as the Opera House is of Sydney. Originally intended only for horse-drawn traffic, the bridge now bears over four million motor vehicles a year.16.【题干】Brunel was an important airplane engineer in Britain during the Industrial Revolution.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】C【解析】17.【题干】Brunel was involved less in railway construction than in other engineering fields.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】C【解析】18.【题干】Brunel worked only on shipping, bridge-building and railway construction.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】B【解析】19.【题干】Brunel work was largely ignored by his colleagues.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】B【解析】20.【题干】Some projects Brunel contributed to are still in use today.【选项】A.RightB.Wrong。

Irish Dolphins m ay H ave a Unique DialectIrish scientists monitoring dolphins living in a river estuary in the southwest of the country believe they m a y have developed a unique dialect to communicate with each other.The Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation ( S D W F ) has been studying a group of up to 120 bottle-nosedolphins in the River Shannon using vocalizations collected on a computer in a c o w shed near the River Shannon.As part of a research project, student Ronan Hickey digitized and analyzed a total of 1,882 whistles from the Irish dolphins and those from the Welsh dolphins on a computer and separated them into six fundamental whistle types and 32 different categories. O f the categories, he found most were used by both sets of dolphins but eight were only heard from the Irish dolphins.“We are building up a catalogue of the different whistle types they use and trying to associate them with behavior like foraging, resting, socializing and the communications of groups with calves,” project leader Simon Berrow said. “Essentially w e are building up what is like a dictionary of words they use or sounds they make.”Berrow, a marine biologist, said the dolphins ’ clicks are used to find their w a y around and locate prey. The whistles are communications. “They do a whole range of other sounds like barks, groans and a kind of gunshot,”he said. “The gunshot is an intense pulse of sound. Sperm whales use it to stun their prey.”“W h e n I first heard it, I was surprised as I thought sperm whales were the only species w h o used it. W e can speculate the dolphins are using it for the same reas on as the sperm whales,” Berrow said.References in local legend indicate there have been dolphins in the Shannon estuary for generations and they m a y even have been resident there as far back as the 6th century.They are regularly seen by passengers on the Shannon ferry and an estimated 25,000 tourists every year take special sightseeing tours on local boats to visit them.1.

Time to Stop Traveling by AirTwenty-five years ago a young British man called Mark Ellingham decided that he wanted a change of scenery. So he went to Australia, stopping off in many countries beween. Healso decided to write about the experience and produced a guide for other travelers making similar journeys.In 1970, British airports were used by 32 million people. In 2004, the figure was 216 million. In 2030, according to government forecasts, 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 ahuge 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 fora ￡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 commitmentis 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 foreignculture. 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 cuttingback on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person,making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to globalwarming. It may be good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better notto 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.

2020年职称英语综合类阅读判断练习及答案（2）Stem Cell Therapy May Help Repair the HeartAccording to scientists in the USA,stem cell therapy may one day be able to repair the hearts of people with heart failure.Researchers at Pittsburgh University School of Medicine examined 20 patients who had severe heart failure and were going to have surgery.They injected stem cells into the parts of their hearts that were damaged.They then compared their hearts with those of people who had undergone surgery without having the stem cells injected into them(they had also suffered from severe heart failure).The patients who had the stem cells injected had hearts that were able to pump(用泵抽水)more blood than the others.According to Professor Robert Kormos,one of,the researchers,these results could revolutionize heart treatment.Although previous studies had indicated that there might be a benefit,this is the first study that has actually proved that stem cell therapy can help the failing heart work better.All the patients in this study had hearts that could not pump blood properly.The scientists measured their ejection fraction(射血分数).This is a measure of heart performance;you measure how much blood is being pumped out by the left ventricle(心室).Healthy people's ejection fraction is about 55%.These patients had ejection fraction of under 35%.They all had by-pass surgery(搭桥手术)performed on them.Some of the patients had stem cells taken from their hip bones and injected into 25-30 sites in the damaged heart muscle.Six months latertheir ejection fraction rate was 46.1% while those who just had surgery but no stem cell injections averaged 37.2%.No side effects were reported.Heart failure is a common problem all over the world.In the UK alone about 650,000 people suffer from heart failure every year.As the number of people suffering from heart failure increases in the world in general these findings are particularly significant.Current treatments relieve the symptoms.This new stemcell therapy actually repairs the damaged muscle in the heart and has the potential of curing the disease.1.The 20 patients had stem cell injections instead of surgery.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.The experiment proved to be satisfactory.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.The control group patients regretted not having had stem cell injections.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.The study actually proved for the first time the benefit of stem cell therapy.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned5.The ejection fraction rate of the patients with stem cell injections decreasedA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.Heart failure is more common in the UK than anywhere else in the world.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.Stem cell therapy seems to have great prospects.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.B 6.C 7.A。
职称英语综合类阅读判断第十篇：The Workers' Role in Management逐句翻译
第十篇：The Workers' Role in Management 工人在企业管理中的角色Traditionally,it has been the workers' role to work and management's role to manage. 传统上，工人的角色是生产，管理者的角色是管理。
Managers have planned and directed the firm's operations with little thought to consulting the labor force. 管理者计划和指导公司的运作，而很少想到去征求劳动者的意见。
Managers have rarely felt compelled to1obtain the workers' opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. 管理者们很少觉得应听取工人的意见或向他们的雇员解释公司的决定。
At most,companies have provided “suggestion boxes”in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. 公司最多提供些“意见箱”，工人们至多将改善生产流程的意见投入意见箱。
In recent years,however,many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor一they have a vital stake in the company2 and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. 然而，近几年来，许多管理专家一直在争论工人们不仅仅出卖劳动力，而且对公司有很大的利害关系，或许还能对公司的管理作出重大贡献。

2020年职称英语综合类阅读判断练习及答案（1）How to Choose the Perfect StrollerFor a newborn you have to decide whether you want a pram,a car-seat frame,a travel system or a convertible stroller.As a newborn needs to lie down for the first 4-5 months of its life,a pram seems to be the perfect solution becauseit's bassinet-like sleeping space,but after the baby can sit up you’ll need a new stroller.A pram can be also quite large and expensive.A low-cost alternative can be the car seat frame that allows you to snap your infant car seat right on top.This foldable and lightweight frame can be easily stored in the truck of your car.However after the baby outgrows the infant car seat you'll have to buy a new stroller.The travel system could seem as the perfect solution for a stroller.It can be used from birth till the baby is 3 years old.This type of stroller allows you to keep the car seat on the stroller until your baby is old enough to sit up,and then remove it and seat your baby in the stroller itself.Howeverit can be that this system is quite heavy and not so easy to fold and shove in the car truck.If you want to leave the car seat out of the equation you might,consider a convertible stroller as it can be your companion from the first days of your child's life till he is in the toddler stage.The seat of a convertible stroller canbe folded back so your newborn can ride flat but as the baby grows you can fold it up and so he can also sit upright.If you are looking for a stroller for a baby that can sit upright,you might consider a lightweight stroller,a jogger or a standard stroller depending on your all day needs.Whichever type of stroller you choose you have to look up certain features like： stability,harness(five-point harnessis best),height of the handles(adjustable handle heightsmight be a plus),folding type and size(in order to be able to shove it into your truck)。
2020年职称英语《综合A》阅读理解真题及答案
2020年职称英语《综合A》阅读理解真题及答案Don't Rely on Indirect EvidenceConversations may be miscalcuting the numbers of the threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error occurs because of a flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles ofdung(粪)the creatures leave behind.The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conversation Society (wcs) in New York.Biologist Katy Payne of Conrell University in Ithaca, New York, agrees. "We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect" says Payne, who electronically tracks elephants.Counting elephants from aeroplanes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa. So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays because it's extremely difficult to determine these rates, however, researchers tallying(统计) elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established elsewhere.But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region to region depending on the climate and environment. Using the wrong values can lead the census astray(离开正道), says Plumptre.He said his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the forests of Banyang-Mbo Widlife Sanctuary(禁猎区)in Southweat Cameroon. They found that the dung decayed between 55 and 65 percent more slowly than the dung in the rainforests of neighbouring Gabon. If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon, they would probably find more elephants than are actually around.This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from decay rates celcalated locally, says Plumptre "However accurate your dung density estimate is the decay rate can severly affect the result."Plumptre also says that the dung-pile census should be carried out over a region similar in size to an elephant's natural range. The usual technique of monitoring only small, protected areas distorts numbers because elephants move in and out of these regions, he says "If the elephant population increases within the protected area, you can not determine whether it is a real increase or whether it is due to elephants moving in because they are being poached(偷猎)outside."Plumptre says that similar problems may also affect other animal census studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests, tracks or burrows(地洞).31.【题干】The word "threatened" in Paragraph 1means_____【选项】A.frightenedB.angeredC.killedD.endangered【答案】D【解析】32.【题干】The way elephant numbers are estimated is_____【选项】A.technicalB.theoreticalC.unhelpfulD.mistaken【答案】D【解析】33.【题干】Counting piles of elephant dung is not reliable because they differ in_____【选项】A.sizeB.shapeC.track locationD.decay rate【答案】D【解析】34.【题干】According to Plumptre, a dung-pile census be conducted in a_____【选项】A.natural rangeB.small regionC.protected areaD.monitored place【答案】A【解析】35.【题干】In making an animal census study, Plumptre advises researchers noy to rely on_____【选项】A.monitoring techniquesB.electrical devicesC.areoplanesD.indirect evidence【答案】D【解析】。

2020年职称英语考试综合类阅读判断练习及答案(10) Disease, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention
Disease may be defined as the abnormal state in which part or all of the body is not properly adjusted or is not capable of carrying on all its required functions. There are marked variations in the extent of the disease and in its effect on the person.
In order to treat a disease, the doctor obviously must first determine the nature of the illness–this is, make a diagnosis. A diagnosis is the conclusion drawn from a number of facts put together. The doctor must know the symptoms, which are the changes body function felt by the patient and the signs(also called objective symptoms) which the doctor himself can observe. Sometimes a characteristic group of signs(or symptoms)accompanied a given disease. Such a group
is called a syndrome. Frequently certain laboratory tests are performed and the results evaluated by the physician in making his diagnosis.
Although nurses do not diagnose, they play an extremely valuable role in this process by observing closely for signs, encouraging the patient to talk about himself and his symptoms, and then reporting this information to the doctor. Once the patience's disorder is known, the doctor prescribes a course of treatment, also referred to as therapy. Many measures in this course of treatment are carried out by the nurse under the physician's orders.
In recent years physicians, nurses and other health workers have taken on increasing responsibilities in
prevention. Throughout most of medical history, the
physician's aim has been to cure a patient of an existing disease. However, the modern concept of prevention seeks to stop disease before it actually happens - to keep people well through the promotion of health. A vast number of organizations exist for this purpose, ranging from the World Health Organization (WHO) on an international level down to local private and community health programs. A rapidly growing responsibility of the nursing profession is educating individual patients toward the maintenance of total health–physical and mental.
