So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. It was aclunky old teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers wehave today.2 But it changed my life.When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago ，we had a vision of “a computer on every desk and in every home”, which probably sounded a little too optimisticat a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believed that personal computers would change the world. And they have.And after 30 years, I ’m still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosityand inventiveness—to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn ’t son their own.Computers have transformed how we learn，giving kids everywhere a window into allof the world ’s knowledge. They’re helping us build communities around the things we careabout and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.3 Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day thatI love to do. He calls it - d ancin“g t t oa pw o r k”4. My job at Microsoft is as challenging asever, but what makes me -da“n c t i a n p g to work ”is when we show people something new,like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store alifetime ’s worth of photos, and they say, “I didn ’t know you could do that with a PBut for all the cool things that a person can do with a PC，there are lots of other wayswe can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world6. There are still fartoo many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet7. Every year, for example,millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to theworld. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to8 improving health and education in away that can help as many people as possible.As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragicthan9 the death of a child anywhere else, and that it doesn ’t take much to make adiff erence in these children ’s lives10.I’m still very much an optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world ’s toughest problems is possible —and it’s happening every day. We’re seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools，and new attention paid to the health problems in thedeveloping world.I ’m excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingnessto solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areasin my lifetime.3第十一篇比尔·盖茨：发挥你的创造力我一直是个乐观主义者，我想这是因为我深信创造力和智慧能使世界变得更美好。

职称英语考试真题及答案理工类A级补全短文2016年职称英语理工类A级补全短文考试真题及答案第四部分补全短文Researchers Discover Why Humans Began Walking UprightMost of us walk and carry items in our hands every day. These are seemingly simple activities that the majority of us don’t question. But an international team of researchers, including Dr. Richmond from GW's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences，have discovered that human walking upright, may have originated millions of years ago as an adaptation to carrying scarce, high- quality resources. The team of researchers from the U. S., England, Japan and Portugal investigated the behavior of modern-day chimpanzees as they competed for food resources，in an effort to understand what ecological settings would lead a large ape — one that resembles the 6 million-year old ancestor we shared in common with living chimpanzees — to walk on two legs.“These chimpanzees provide a model of the ecological conditions under which our earliest ancestors might have begun walking on two legs, "，said Dr. Richmond.The research findings suggest that chimpanzees switch to moving on two limbs instead of four in situations where they need to monopolize a resource. Standing on two legs allows them to carry much more at one time because it frees up their hands. Over time，intense bursts of bipedal activity may have led to anatomical changes that in turn became the subject of natural selection where competition for food or other resources was strong.Two studies were conducted by the team in Guinea. The first study was conducted by the team in Kyoto University’s “ outdoor laboratory ” in a natural clearing in Bossou Forest.Researchers allowed the wild chimpanzees access to different combinations of two different types of nut — the oil palm nut，which is naturally widely available, and the coula nut, which is not. The chimpanzees’ behavior was monitored in three situations:(a) when only oil palm nuts wereavailable,(b)when a small number of coula nuts were available，and(c) when coula nuts were the majority available resource.When the rare coula nuts were available only in small numbers, the chimpanzees transported more at one time. Similarly, when coula nuts were the majority resource, the chimpanzees ignored the oil palm nuts altogether. The chimpanzees regarded the coula nuts as a more highly-prized resource and competed for them more intensely.In such high-competition settings，the frequency of cases in which the chimpanzees started moving on two legs increased by a factor of four. Not only was it obvious that bipedal movement allowed them to carry more of this precious resource, but also that they were actively trying to move as much as they could in one go by using everything available 一 even their mouths.The second study, by Kimberley Hockings of Oxford Brookes University, was a 14-month study of Bossou chimpanzees crop-raiding, a situation in which they have to compete for rare and unpredictable Resources. Here, 35 percent of the chimpanzees activity involved some sort of bipedal movement, and once again, this behavior appeared to be linked to a clear attempt to carry as much as possible at one time.参考答案： BAEFC。

Virtual DriverDriving involves sharp eyes and keen ears，analyzing with a brain，and coordination between hands, feet and brain. A man has sharp eyes and keen ears, analyzes through his brain, and maintains coordination between his hands and brains. He can control afast-moving car with different parts of his body. (1) But how does an intelligent car control itself? Apparently there isn't anyone in the driver's cab, but there is in fact a virtual driver1. This virtual driver has eyes, brains, hands and feet too. The minicameras on each side of the car are its eyes and are responsible for observing the road conditions ahead of it as well as the traffic to its left and right. If you open the boot, you can see the most important part of the automatic driving system： a built-in computer. (2) This is the brain of the car.The brain of the car is responsible for calculating the speeds objects surrounding the car are moving at2， analyzing their position on the road，choosing the right path，and giving orders to the wheel and the control system.In comparison with the human brain, the virtual driver's best advantage is that it reacts quickly. (3) It completes the processing of the images sent by the cameras within 100 milliseconds. However, it takes the world's best racecar driver at least one second to react, and this doesn't include the time he needs to take action.With its rapid reaction and accurate control，the virtual driver can reduce the accident rate on expressways considerably. In this case, is it possible for us to let it have the wheel3 at ahy time and in any place? (4) Experts say that we cannot do that just yet.With its limited ability to recognize things, the car can now only travel on expressways.The intelligent car determines its direction by the clear lines that mark the lanes clearly and recognizes vehicles according to their regular shapes. (5) However, it cannot recognize moving people and bicycles on ordinary roads that have no clear markings on them.This being the case4, people still have high hopes about driverless cars，and think highly intelligent cars are what the cars of the future should be like.Musical Training Can Improve Communication SkillsAmerican scientists say musical training seems to improve communication skills and language retardation. They found that developing musical skills involves the same process in the brain as learning how to speak. The scientists believe that1 could help children with learning disabilities.(1) Nina Kraus is a neurobiologist (神经生物学家)at Northwestern University in Illinois.She says musical training involves putting together different kinds of information, such as hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument and watching other musicians. This process is not much different from learning how to speak.(2) A Both involve different senses.The further explains musical training and learning to speak each make us think about what we are doing2. She says speech and music pass through a structure of the nervous system called the brain stem. (3) F The brain stem controls our ability to hear.Until recently, experts have thought the brain stem could not be developed or changed. But Professor Kranss and her team found that musical training can improve a person's brain stem activity.The study involved individuals with different levels of musical ability. They were asked to wear an electrical device that measures brain activity. The Individuals wore the electrode while they watched a video of someone speaking and a person playing a musical instrument -- the cello. (4) E Professor Krauss says cellos have sound qualities similar to some of the sounds that are important with speech.The study found that the more years of training people had, the more sensitive they were to the sound and rhythm of the music3. Those who were involved in musical activities were the same people in whom the improvement of sensory events was the strongest. (5) D It shows the importance of musical training to children with learning disabilities.She says using music to improve listening skills could mean they hear sentences and understand facial expressions better.虚拟驾驶员驾驶需要敏锐的视觉与听觉，大脑分析，手、脚和大脑的协调配合。

Babies normally start to talk when they are 13 to 15 months old. Ryan Jones is only eight months old, but he is already “talking”with his parents. When lie is hungry, he opens and closes his hand. This means milk. He also knows the signs for his favorite toy and the word more.Ryan is not deaf, and his parents are not deaf, but his mother and father are teaching him to sign. They say a word and make a sign at the same time. They repeat this again and again. When ___1___ Ryan’s parents think that he will be a happier baby because he can communicate with them.Ryan s parents are teaching Ryan to sign because of a man named Joseph Garcia. Although Garcia was not from a deaf family, he decided to learn American Sign Language (ASL). First, he took courses in ASL. Then he got a job helping deaf people communicate with hearing people. In his work, he saw many deaf parents sign to their infants. He noticed that these babies were able to communicate much earlier than hearing children. ___2___ When they were one year old, they could use as many as 50 signs.Garcia decided to try something new. He taught ASL to parents who were not deaf. The families started to teach signs to their infants when they were six or seven months old. ___3___ More and more parents took Garcia’s ASL classes. Like Ryan’s family, they were excited about signing with their babies. They wanted to give their babies a way to communicate before they could use spoken words.Some people worry about signing to babies. They are afraid that these babies won’t feel a need to talk. Maybe they will develop spoken language later than other babies. ___4___ In fact, one study found just the opposite. Signing babies actually learned to speak earlier than other children. As they grow older, these children are more interested in books. They also score higher on intelligence tests1.There is still a big question for parents: Which are the best signs to teach their babies? Some parents make their own signs. Other parents want to teach ASL. ___5___ There’s no clear answer, but we do know this: All signing babies and their families are talking quite a lot!词汇：normally /'nɔ:m(ə)li/ adv. 正常地；通常地，一般地infant /'infənt / n. 婴儿；幼儿；未成年人communicate /kə'mju:nikeit/ 通信；交流；感染opposite /'ɔpəzit/ adj. 相反的；n. 对立面，反义词注释：1. intelligence test：智力测试练习：A However, research does not show this.B All parents want to teach babies to sign.C Ryan learns a new sign, his family is very excited.D These babies started using signs about two months later.E It can be useful because many people understand it.F They talked with signs by the time they were eight months old.答案与题解：1. C第二段主要是讨论Ryan学习手语的过程，当他学会一种新的手势时，父母非常高兴。

第二部分阅读判断第一篇LED的发明者当Nick Holonyak着手用半导体含金创造一种新的可视照明设备的时候，同事们都认为他不现实。
今天，他发现的发光二极管，或叫LED，使用范围覆盖从DVD到机场警钟的一切东西。
他的许多学生继续着他的工作，发明了交通灯中使用的照明设备和其他的日用技术。
2004年4月23号，Holoyak在华盛顿的一次典礼上被授予Lemelson-MIT项目的50万美元的奖金。
这是麻省理工的Lemelson-MIT项目第十年颁奖给杰出的发明人。
“任何时候你得了奖，不论是大是小，总是一分惊喜。
”Holonyad说。
Holonyak，75岁，是20世纪50年代初期晶体管的发明者JohnBardeen的学生。
从研究生院毕业之后，Holonyak在Bell实验室工作。
之后去了通用电器公司，在那里他发明了一种开关，现在家用减光开关中普遍使用。
后来，Holonyak开始研究如何应用半导体发电。
当他的同事们正在研究如何发出看不见的光时，他却想要看得见的光。
1962年他发明的LED，现在的使用寿命可以比白炽灯泡长十倍，而且更环保、更经济。
Holonyak现在是伊利诺斯大学电子、计算机工程和物理专业的教授，他说他预料到LED的使用有可能像今天这样普遍，但没有意识到它会有多少用途。
“开始的时候你并不知道，你认为你在做一件很重要的事情，你认为它值得做，但是你不能说出要付出多大的代价，什么时候付出，怎样付出。
你并不知道。
”他说。
Lemelson-MIT项目同样授予75岁的EdithFlanigen10万美元的终身成就奖，她的成就是创造新一代的“分子筛”，也就是可以通过大小来分离分子。
第二篇厄尔尼诺当某些预报方法不能提前几个月成功预测1997年厄尔尼诺现象的时候，哥伦比亚大学的研究人员说他们的方法可以提前两年预测厄尔尼诺现象。
这对全世界各地的政府、农民和其他寻求为厄尔尼诺带来的干旱和大雨做准备的人来说是一条好消息。

★第1篇-Ford Abandons Electric Vehicles 福特放弃电动汽车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RA V4EV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。

And it won‟t be long before we will see realistic cybercompanions, complete with skin, dexterity, and intelligence. They will be programmed to tend to your every need.Will we ever want to marry robots? Artificial intelligence researcher David Levy has published a book claiming human-robot relationships willbecome popular in the next few decades. And if you want to go aheadand tie the knot with your special electronic friend，Levy said that such marriages will be socially acceptable by around 2050.Will humans really be able to form deep emotional attachments to machines? It will, in fact, be relatively easy to form these strong attachments because the human mind loves to anthropomorphize: to give human attributes to other creatures—even objects.For example, researchers in San Diego recently put a small humanoid robot in with a toddler playgroup for several months. The bot knew each child because it was programmed with face and voice recognition，and it giggled when tickled. The children ended up treating it as a fellowtoddler. When it lay down because its batteries were flat，the kids even covered it with a blanket.In a few decades, when humanoid robots with plastic skin look and feel very real, will people want to form relationships with them? What ifthe bots could hold a conversation? And be programmed to be the perfect companions—soul mates, even? Maybe your generation could resist,but eventually there will be a generation of people who grow up withhumanoid robots as a normal part of life. And like those toddlers in the experiment, they will be very accepting of them.The next question, then, is whether there is anything wrong with having an emotional relationship with a machine. Even today there are people who form deep attachments to their pets and use them as substitutesfor friends or even children. Few consider that unethical.But a sophisticated robot will probably be even more attractive. For those who always seem to end up marrying the wrong man or woman, arobotic Mr. or Ms. Right could be mighty tempting. As the father of artificial intelligence, Marvin Minsky, put it when asked about the ethicsof lonely older people forming close relationships with robots: “If a robot had all the virtues of a person and was smarter and more understanding, why would the elderly bother talking to other grumpy old people?”A robot could be programmed to be as dumb or smart, as independent or subservient, as an owner desired. And that‟s the big disadvantage.Having the perfect robot partner will damage the ability to form equally deep human-human relationships. People will always seem imperfect in comparison. When you‟re behaving badly, a good friend will tell you.However, few owners will program their robots to point out their flaws.People in relationships have to learn to adapt to each other: to enjoy their common interests and to deal with their differences. It makes us richer, stronger, and wiser. A robot companion will be perfect at the start.However, there will be nothing to move the relationship to grow to greater heights.深情机器人计算机技术已经足够成熟，能支持人形机器人的诞生和普及，进人人形机器人的时代。

2016职称英语理工类a级考试真题及答案
2016职称英语理工类a级考试真题及答案全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇12016职称英语理工类A级考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1Only very distant relatives score enough “points” to become professional worsted tennis players. There is a nice blend of tomboy and prude in some of today’s good ones. Many of the precocious young titans of the courts have to fight jitters; and in the case of the junior that comes along only once a decade or so, the fight grows veritable when the captain sticks out an unbald head in a kind of harness some fifty-year-old lady put out of so-called clear scraps. (10)The fight against jitter moves in its small phases. At first, the junior finds it relatively easy to bulldoze his way through a local tournament. This gives a boost for bigger game, national and even international tournaments. The real fight is knowing how to hit on a ball on the court. This is the hard one for sexagenarian dotards to analyze—not only because the shot lingers but also because the precise moment for taking the hit comes only once every five seconds, so that knowing where the hit is going to be is batting .200; but knowing the moment is a beserk fight against time, tide and terror. Even some of the worsted pros have been known to chug at the juice to dull the squealing butterflies in their stomach.

Primer on Smell嗅觉入门In addition to bringing out the flavor of food, what does the sense of smell do for us?嗅觉除了能让我们感受到食物的气味外，还能做什么？Smell “gives us information about place, about where we are,” says Randall Reed, a Johns Hopkins University professor whose specialty is the sense of smell. And smell tells us about people.“Whether we realize it or not, we collect a lot of information about who is around us based on smell,” says Reed.美国约翰霍普金斯大学研究嗅觉的专家Randall Reed教授指出，气味能提供给我们关于位置，关于我们在哪儿，以及有关人的信息。
“无论我们是否意识到，我们能根据气味收集到许多关于谁在我们身边的信息”， Reed讲道。
Even at a distance, odors can warn us of trouble —spoiled food, leaking gas, or fire. “It’s a great alert,” offers Donald Leopold, a doctor at Johns Hopkins. For example, if something in the oven is burning, everyone in the house knows it.即使还隔着一段距离，气味就能提醒我们注意很多麻烦：变质的食物，煤气泄漏，或是火灾。

A Memory Drug?IT‘S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE MANY THINGS that people would welcome more than a memory-enhancing drug. A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.Furthermore, such a drug could help people remember past experiences more clearly and help us acquire new information more easily for school and at work. As scientists learn more about memory, we are closing in on this tantalizing goal.1Some of the most exciting evidence comes from research that has built on earlier findings linking LTP2 and memory to identify a gene that improves memory in mice. The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor，which plays an important role in long-term memory by helping to initiate LTP. Mice bred to have extra copies of this gene showed more activity in their NMDA receptors，more LTP，and improved performance on several different memory tasks —learning a spatial layout3, recognizing familiar objects，and recalling a fear-inducing shock.If these basic insights about genes, LTP, and the synaptic basis of memory can be translated to people —and that remains to be seen —they could pave the way for memory-enhancing treatments. Like steroids for bulking up the muscles, these drugs would bulk up memory. As exciting as this may sound, it also raises troubling issues. Consider the potential educational implications of memory-enhancing drugs. If memory enhancers were available, children who used them might be able to acquire and retain extraordinary amounts of information, allowing them to progress far more rapidly in school than they could otherwise. How well could the brain handle such an onslaught of information? What happens to children who don‘t have access to the latest memory enhancers? Are they left behind in school — and as a result handicapped later in life?What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace? Imagine that you are applying for a job thatrequires a good memory，such as a manager at atechnology company or a sales position thatrequires remembering customers‘ names as wellas the attributes of different products andservices. Would you take a memory-enhancingdrug to increase your chances of landing theposition? Would people who felt uncomfortabletaking such a drug find themselves cut out oflucrative career opportunities?Memory drugs might also help take thesting out of disturbing memories that we wishwe could forget but can‘t.4 The 2004 hit movieEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind told thestory of a young man seeking just such freedomfrom the painful memories of a romanticbreakup. As you will see in the section onpersistence later in the chapter, emotionallyarousing events often create intrusive memories,and researchers have already muted emotionalmemories with drugs that block the action of keyhormones. Should emergency workers who mustconfront horrifying accident scenes that canburden them with persisting memories beprovided with such drugs? Should such drugs begiven to rape victims who can‘t forget thetrauma? Memory drugs might provide somerelief to such individuals. But could they alsointerfere with an individual‘s ability toassimilate and come to terms with a difficultexperience? We may find ourselves strugglingwith these kinds of questions in thenot-too-distant future.译文：记忆药物？很难想象还有比能增强记忆力的药物更受人们欢迎的东西了。
2016职称英语理工A真题及答案
阅读理解第一篇Older Volcanic EruptionsVolcanoes were more destructive in ancient history, not because they were bigger, but becausethe carbon dioxide they released wiped out life with greater ease. Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigat,ing the link between volcaniceruptions and mass extinctions. Not all volcanic eruptions killed-off large numbers of animals, butall the mass extinctions over the past 300 million years coincided with huge formations of volcanicrock. To his surprise, the older the massive volcanic eruptions were, the more.damage they seemedto do. He calculated the "killing efficiency" for these volcanoes by comparing the proportion of lifethey killed off with the volume of lava that they produced. He found that size for size, oldereruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.The Permian extinction' ,for example, which happened 250 million years ago, is marked byfloods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe. Thosevolcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 10 gigatonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide. Theglobal warming that followed wiped out 80 per cent of all manne genera at the time, and it took 5million years for the planet to recover. Yet 60 million years ago, there was another huge amount ofvolcanic activity and global warming but no mass extinction. Some animals did disappear but thingsreturned to normal within ten thousands of years."The most recent ones hardly have an effect atall.”Wignall says. He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago,because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid. He thinks thatolder volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted todealing with increased levels of C02.Vincent Courtillot, director of the Paris Geophysical Institute in France, says that Wignall'sidea is provocative. But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations. He points outthat the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted. And it is impossible totell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years. He also adds that it is difficultto estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced, and that lava volume may notnecessarily correspond to carbon dioxide emissions.1. Why did older volcanic eruptions do more damage than more recent ones?A) Because they killed off life more easily.B) Because they were brighter.C) Because they were larger.D) Because they were hotter.2. How did Wignall calculate the killing power of those older volcanic eruptions?A) By estimating how long they lasted.B) By counting the dinosaurs they killed.C) By studying the chemical composition of lava.D) By comparing the proportion of life wiped out with the volume of lava produced.3. When did dinosaurs become extinct?A) 300 million years ago.B) 250 million years ago.C) 60 million years ago.D) 65 million years ago.4. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 concerning dinosaurs?A) They were killed off by an asteroid.B) They died of drastic climate change.C) They were wiped off by a volcanic eruption.D) The cause of their extinction has remained a controversial issue.5. What is the main thesis of the article?A) Volcanic eruptions are not always deadly.B) Older volcanic eruptions were more destructive.C) Carbon dioxide emissions often give rise to global warming.D) It is not easy to calculate the killing power of a volcanic eruption.答案与题解：1.A 问题问的是：为什么远古的火山爆发比近期的火山爆发破坏性更大?第一段是这么说的：古代的火山更具破坏力，不是因为它们更大，而是因为它们释放出的二氧化碳更能容易地毁灭生命。

2016职称英语理工类a级考试真题及答案
2016职称英语理工类a级考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big Sister's Super Hard TestMy big sister Monica just took a really hard test called the 2016 Professional Title English Test for Science and Engineering Class A. She had to study for it for like a whole year! It was all in English which is not even our first language. I'm only 8 years old but I tried to help her prepare as much as I could.First, she had to read all these long, boring articles and books about science and technology topics. There were chapters on mechanical design, information technology, environmental studies, and more. I didn't understand most of it but I let her quiz me on the vocabulary words. Words like "algorithm", "dimensional", "sustainable", and "mechanism." Those were hard!Then she had to practice different kinds of questions they could ask on the test. Like summarizing the main points of a passage, or answering open-ended questions analyzing the information. There were fill-in-the-blank grammar sections toowhich seemed really nitpicky. My favorite part was when she would transcribe a audio recording because I got to listen to the scientists and engineers talking in their funny accents.A few weeks before the test, Monica started doing full practice tests to get ready. They looked so long and exhausting! The listening section alone had around 25 questions and the reading had 40-50 questions, not to mention the writing section where she had to write a whole essay from scratch. I would get so sleepy and bored sitting next to her while she worked through them.Finally, the big day came and Monica went to take the Professional Title test. It lasted over 3 hours! When she came home, she looked beat. I asked how it went and she made a crooked smile and said "I'm not sure, but I gave it my best shot."I gave her a big hug because she worked so hard to get ready.A couple months later, the scores came out online. Monica passed We had a little celebration with cake and sparklers. I was so proud of my big sis. She said scoring highly on this test is really important for getting a higher professional title and pay level as an engineer in China. It was a lot of work but worth it in the end.Now I'll share some of the actual test questions and answers from Monica's test materials so you can see how hard it was:Listening ComprehensionQuestion 1: What is the main purpose of the speaker's experiment?A) To determine the optimal conditions for plant growthB) To study the effects of climate change on agricultureC) To analyze the impact of pesticides on crop yieldsD) To investigate new irrigation techniquesQuestion 2: According to the speaker, which of the following is a disadvantage of the proposed design?A) It is too expensive to implement.B) It requires a large amount of energy.C) It produces excessive noise pollution.D) It has a negative environmental impact.Reading ComprehensionPassage 1 was about the development of renewable energy sources. It described the potential benefits and challenges of solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.Question 1: According to the passage, which of the following is a major advantage of solar energy?A) It produces no greenhouse gas emissions.B) The technology is relatively inexpensive.C) Solar panels require little maintenance.D) It can be implemented in any geographic location.Question 2: The author mentions which of the following as a disadvantage of wind power?A) Wind turbines are unsightly.B) The wind is an intermittent energy source.C) Wind farms require large amounts of land.D) Both B and CTranslationDirections: Translate the following passage from English to Chinese."As the global population continues to rise, putting strain on the world's resources, there is an urgent need to transition to more sustainable practices across all sectors. In manufacturing, adopting a circular economy model can significantly reduce material waste and environmental impact. The basic principle is to design products for longevity, reuse, and recycling rather than disposability. This entails..."WritingPrompt: Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics will have a major impact on the future job market and economy. Discuss some of the potential effects, both positive and negative, that increased automation may have. What steps should societies take to prepare for these changes? Develop your position with relevant reasons and examples.Those are just a few examples, but as you can see the test covered all kinds of science, technology, and engineering topics at a pretty high level. My poor sister worked so hard to master all that advanced material in English! I'm just glad it's over and she passed. Maybe in 10 more years when I'm an adult, I'll have to take it too. But for now, I'll leave the Professional Title English Tests to my big sis!篇2The 2016 Professional Test was Really Hard!Hi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. Last year, my dad had to take a really difficult English test for his job as an engineer. It was called the 2016 Professional English Test for Workers in Science and Engineering Fields (Level A). I watched him study a ton for it and he let me look at some of the questions afterward. They were super tricky! Let me tell you all about it.There was a listening section where they played conversations and talks in English and you had to answer multiple choice questions. One conversation was between two co-workers discussing a project timeline. The man said "We're already behind schedule on the Bennett project due to those supplier delays." The woman replied "Yes, and our client is getting antsy about the lack of progress." Then it asked what the "antsy" meant and I remembered my dad saying it means nervous or impatient. Tricky vocabulary words like that were all over the listening section!For the reading section, there were long technical passages about things like engineering processes, scientific research, andmanufacturing methods. You really had to concentrate and use all your brain power. I remember one passage was about a new type of renewable energy technology using biomass sources. It explained the chemical processes involved in great detail. The questions asked very specific things about the steps described in the passage. My dad spent a lot of time re-reading those dense passages very carefully.Then there was an awesome section all about technical writing and communication skills. It tested things like how to write clear instructions, describe a technical process, or synthesize information from multiple sources into one report. One question gave a bunch of details about a product design and you had to organize the details into a proper introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Another question made you identify the weakness in someone's proposal letter. My personal favorite part!But I think my dad struggled the most with the speaking section. He had to give all his spoken responses in a recording booth with a time limit. One question made him explain a complex scientific concept, like nuclear fusion or something. Another made him propose a solution to a hypothetical technical problem. And he really had to show off his English speaking skillsby using advanced vocabulary, proper grammar, good organization, and clear pronunciation.There was also a writing section where he had to type out things like design specifications, progress reports, proposals, and technical definitions. It was crazy how much writing they expected! One of the essays asked him to recommend whether a company should invest in a new eco-friendly manufacturing process based on weighing the pros and cons. I remember he kept revising and revising his essays to make them perfect.Overall, the whole test seemed incredibly challenging with all the different sections and skills it covered. My dad had to understand complex technical content, speak and write at a professional level, and demonstrate communication abilities - all in his second language of English! I was so proud of him for passing. He said it was one of the most mentally exhausting experiences of his life.I'm glad I'm just a kid and don't have to worry about taking huge tests like that for many more years. For now, I'll stick to my spelling and times tables tests at school! But it was really interesting to learn about the types of challenges that working adults in scientific and engineering fields face. Major props to anyone who can pass that Professional English beast of an exam.I have a whole new appreciation for what my dad does at his job. Let me know if you've ever had to take a crazy difficult test like that before!篇3The 2016 Professional English Test (Level A) for Science and EngineeringHello everyone! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. Our teacher Mr. Johnson told us we would be taking a very important test today called the Professional English Test for Science and Engineering. He said it's a test that real engineers and scientists have to take to show they can speak and understand English well.I was a little nervous at first, but then Mr. Johnson reminded us that even though it's a grown-up test, he made it just for us kids. Doesn't that sound fun? Let me tell you all about it!Reading ComprehensionThe first part was reading comprehension. We had to read a few passages and answer questions about them. The first passage was about how airplanes fly. It used some big words like "aerodynamics" and "lift" but Mr. Johnson helped us understand what they meant.One of the questions was: "What causes the wing of an airplane to generate lift?" I remembered from the passage that it's because the wing is tilted just a little bit, so the air flows faster over the top. The faster air moves, the lower the pressure, which pushes the wing up. I got that one right!Another passage was about solids, liquids and gases. It explained how molecules in solids are packed tightly together, while in liquids they can slide around more. And in gases, the molecules just zip around everywhere! The question asked which state has molecules that are most disorganized. I put gases because that's what the passage said.Listening ComprehensionNext was the listening part. Mr. Johnson played some audio clips and we had to answer questions after each one. The first clip was about the life cycle of butterflies. It described how they start as tiny eggs, then become caterpillars who eat a lot. After that, they weave a little cocoon and go through "metamorphosis" - that's a fancy word for the amazing changes they undergo to become beautiful butterflies!One question was: "What do caterpillars do before metamorphosis?" I marked down that they spin a cocoon, because that's what I heard in the audio. Another asked what thefour stages of the cycle are. I wrote: egg, caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly. Nailed it!The next audio clip was about the planet Mars. It covered fun facts like Mars being the fourth planet from the sun, and that it's often called the Red Planet because of its rusty color. A question asked why Mars looks red. The clip explained it's due to iron minerals in the soil - when they get exposed to oxygen, they oxidize or rust, just like an old nail here on Earth.Writing TestThen篇4The 2016 Big Important English Test for Science Smart PeopleHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about this really hard English test I had to take last year. It was called the 2016 Professional Title English Test for Science and Engineering Subjects - Level A. That's a really long name! I'll just call it the Big Science English Test.The test was super difficult because it was made forgrown-ups who are scientists and engineers and know all aboutcomplicated science and math things. But my parents really wanted me to take it anyway because they said it would be good practice for when I'm older.So early one Saturday morning, I had to go to the testing center downtown. It was in this big building with lots of classrooms. There were so many other kids and grown-ups there too, all looking really nervous. I felt a little scared, but tried to stay brave.When it was time to start, a lady came in and handed out the test booklets. Mine was so thick! It had reading passages, listening sections, writing tasks, and all sorts of stuff. Way more than we normal get for tests at school. The lady explained all the rules really slowly and clearly so everyone understood. Then she set her timer and said "You may begin!"The first part was reading comprehension. I had to read these long, long passages that talked about science topics like physics, chemistry, biology, and computer stuff. The passages used such big fancy words that I'd never heard before. I had to keep looking them up in the dictionary. After reading each passage, there were questions about the main ideas, details, vocabulary, and making inferences. Those were so hard! I had to read the passages like three or four times.Next up was the listening section. This part was a little easier for me because I just had to listen篇5My 2016 Science and English Test AdventureHi friends! Today I want to tell you all about the big important test I took last year called the Professional English Test for Science and Engineering. It was a level A test, which means it was really hard! But I studied super duper hard and I think I did a pretty good job. Let me walk you through some of the questions I had to answer.Reading ComprehensionThe first part was all about reading. They gave me a long science-y passage and asked me bunches of questions about what I read. One question was like this:Passage: ...The hydraulic system transfers force from one point to another via an incompressible fluid...Question: Which of the following is true about the fluid in a hydraulic system?A) It cannot be compressedB) It is a gasC) It transfers energy through motionD) It is made of solidsWell I knew the answer had to be A because the passage said the fluid cannot be compressed, which means it's incompressible! Wasn't that a tricky one?Another question asked me to identify the main idea of the whole passage. That was pretty hard because the passage was super long and had all these big words I didn't know. But I read it very carefully and picked the answer that seemed to sum up what the main point was.WritingAfter the reading part, I had to do some writing. They asked me to pick one of two topics and write a short essay responding to the prompt. One of the prompts was:"Many scientific advancements over the past century have dramatically improved our quality of life. However, some have also caused negative impacts on the environment and human health. Describe one positive and one negative impact of a major scientific advancement and discuss whether you believe its benefits outweigh its costs."Woah, that's a really big question for a little kid like me! But I tried my best. I wrote about how the invention of plastic has helped us have cheap packaging and containers for food and toys. But I also said plastic pollution is really bad for the environment and animals like sea turtles.At the end, I said I think the benefits probably still outweigh the costs because plastic makes so many useful things affordable for everyone. But we need to work really hard on reducing the plastic waste too. I don't know if my essay was perfect, but I felt okay about my answer!ListeningAnother section tested my listening skills. They played an audio recording all about a science topic and asked me comprehension questions. One question went something like this:Recording: "...The xylem tissue transports water and nutrients upwards from the roots, while the phloem distributes food and sugars produced by photosynthesis down to the roots and rest of the plant..."Question: According to the recording, what role does the phloem tissue play in plant biology?A) It carries water upwardsB) It transports photosynthesis productsC) It absorbs nutrients from the soilD) It produces oxygenI chose B because the recording clearly said the phloem distributes the sugars made by photosynthesis throughout the plant. I was pretty confident I got that one correct!SpeakingProbably the hardest part was the speaking section. I had to look at a picture and describe what I saw using scientific vocabulary. Then I had to answer some questions the test grader asked me based on the picture.The picture showed some kids doing an experiment with a glass of water, food coloring, and a celery stalk. The questions were things like "What do you think is the purpose of this experiment?" and "What process is being demonstrated here?"I tried to explain that the colored water was traveling up through the celery stalk because of capillary action and the vascular tissue in the plant stem. I had just learned about that inscience class, so I worked really hard to remember all the right terms!The grader also asked me to pretend I was giving instructions to someone on how to actually do this celery experiment. I walked through adding the food coloring to the water, trimming the celery bottom, placing it in the cup, and waiting to observe how the colored water moves up the stem. Phew, that part was tricky!Overall ThoughtsWell, that's a taste of what the big level A science and English test was like for me! There were writing sections, reading sections, listening comprehension, speaking prompts - it covered all the English skills!Some parts were pretty hard and had questions that made me really think. But other parts let me show off what I already knew about science topics we had covered in school. I spent a lot of time preparing by studying science vocabulary, reading science articles, and practicing my English skills.In the end, I felt like I gave it my best effort. The test was definitely challenging, but also kind of fun to take on such a big challenge. If you're going to take the Professional English Testtoo, just make sure you study really hard beforehand. And don't be nervous - just do your best!Okay friends, that's my full report on my big science and English testing adventure. Let me know if you have any other questions! Time for me to go learn about another cool science topic...篇6My Big Sister's Hard TestMy big sister Anna is really smart. She's in university studying to be an engineer. This year she had to take a super hard test called the 2016 Professional Title English Test for Science and Engineering. It's a big important test she needs to pass to get a special title and job one day. I watched her study really hard for weeks!The test had lots of different sections - reading, writing, listening, translation, and more. Anna showed me some of the questions after and they looked so tricky! I'll share some with you:Reading ComprehensionThere were some long readings about science and technology topics. One was about 3D printing. The questions asked stuff like:What are the main advantages of 3D printing?A) Cheaper production costsB) Faster manufacturing timeC) More design flexibilityD) All of the aboveThe answer is D) All of the above. 3D printing lets you make lots of different shapes quickly and for less money than traditional manufacturing. Pretty cool!Another passage was about self-driving cars. It asked:Which of the following is NOT a key sensor used inself-driving cars?A) RadarB) CamerasC) LidarD) SpeedometerI didn't know this one, but Anna said the answer is D) Speedometer. The other choices are all sensors that help the car "see" its surroundings.WritingFor the writing section, Anna had to write a long essay about some scientific topic. One prompt asked her to discuss the pros and cons of nuclear power and give her opinion. She had to organize her ideas, provide examples, and use good grammar and vocabulary. Writing a whole essay in another language sounds super hard!ListeningThe listening part had lectures and conversations about science and engineering topics. Then there were questions testing if you understood the main ideas and details.One conversation was between two students talking about their engineering lab assignment. It asked:What was a main challenge the students faced with their project?A) Managing their timeB) Gathering dataC) Communicating with teammatesD) Identifying the right materialsAnna said the right answer was C) Communicating with teammates. The students said it was hard to collaborate smoothly.TranslationOh boy, this section was crazy! Anna had to translate sentences from English to Chinese and vice versa. The sentences used really technical scientific vocabulary.Like this one from English to Chinese:"The reactor coolant pumps circulate pressurized water through the nuclear reactor core."And this one from Chinese to English:"透射电子显微镜使用加速的电子射线来形成高分辨率图像。

Youre playing with history . The playing cards we use today are much like those used for hundreds of years . The most interesting things arethe suits and face cards . A suit of a playing card is not a thing to be worn . It means Hearts , Spades , Diamonds or Clubs . The figures are placed on each card with the number or value of the card . The face cards are the Jacks , Queens , Kings , and , of course , the Jokers . 2. What do you think the suits stand for ? Lets take the Hearts first . When you say that an athlete has a lot of heart , what do you mean ? You mean that he is brave . So , you see , the King of Hearts is a brave king . 3. Look at the design of the Spade on a card . The word spade comes from the Italian word which means sword . With a little imagination , you can see the handle and the blade . Of course , the blade has been made much shorter on the card . 4.The diamonds and Club designs also have interesting stories . The Diamond design is one that you probably know already . It stands for the expensive gems that you and I have seen in jewelry stores . Atfirst it stood for the rich traders who found and sold such gems .The Club looks a little like a three - leaf clover design . Its shape came from a French design with three leaves . It has the lowest rankof the suits . 5. Now you see how some suits of playing cardshave more value or power than others . The face cards are usually powerful in any card game . The King is one of the strongest . There are four different Kings , and each one stands for a real person .The King of Hearts first meant Charlemagne . He lived about 800 years after the birth of Christ . He was one of the most powerful kings in Europe after Julius Caesar of Rome . Julius Caesar , by the way , is the King of Diamonds . 6、我们要想找到其它两个国王的名字，必须退回到更久远的历史里去。

So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. It was a clunky old teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today.2 But it changed my life.When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago，we had a vision of “a computer on every desk and in every home”, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believed that personal computers would change the world. And they have.And after 30 years, I’m still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness — to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn’t solve on their own.Computers have transformed how we learn，giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world’s knowledge. They’re helping us build communities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.3 Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it “tap-dancing to work”4. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me “tap-dancing to work” is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime’s worth of photos, and they say, “I didn’t know you could do that with a PC5! ”But for all the cool things that a person can do with a PC，there are lots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world6. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet7. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to8 improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragic than9 the death of a child anywhere else, and that it doesn’t take much to make an immense diff erence in these children’s lives10.I’m still very much an optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world’s toughest problems is possible —and it’s happening every day. We’re seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools，and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.I’m excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.第十一篇比尔·盖茨：发挥你的创造力我一直是个乐观主义者，我想这是因为我深信创造力和智慧能使世界变得更美好。
