Mobile Phones根据科学家罗伯特·贝尔的观点，如果移动电话被证实是一种辐射危害的来源的话，那在上面应该贴一个标签。
而且直到移动电话发射塔的电磁辐射对人体健康的长期影响有一个合乎科学的评价之前，不能建造更多的发射塔。
“没有人会在一个晚上就倒地死去，伹我们还是应该寻找更多的科学论据去指出它的危害。
”罗伯特?贝尔在一次关于少量辐射对人体健康影响的会议上说。
"如果移动电话被证明有危害，就应该在它上面贴一个警告标签，直到设计出合适的隔离屏为止。
”他说。
在公众中一个广泛的流行说法是，现在的科学家们还不能完全地保证，电磁辐射对人类没有负面影响。
正如罗伯特?贝尔所指出，仅在澳大利亚就有330万部移动电话，而且正以每天 2 000部的速度增加。
估计到公元2000年之前澳大利亚将拥有800万部移动电话，接近每两人一部手机。
同时，在澳大利亚境内分布着2 000座发射塔，其中有许多还坐落在人口密集的居民区。
例如，Telstra, Optus和Vodaphone所建造的发射塔从地理位置上来说是合适的，但都忽视了公众的需求。
从这些发射塔发出的电磁辖射可能已经对附近的居民产生了一些有害影响。
罗伯特·贝尔建议，在更多的研究工作未完成之前，政府应该禁止在学校操场、儿童日托中心、医院、运动场所以及儿童占比例较高的居住场所方圆500米范围内建造发射塔。
他说显现的证据表明，儿童以成年人三倍多的比例吸收微量辐射。
同时他补充说还有一个证据证明如果癌症患者受到电磁波的辐射，就会导致疾病的加速恶化。
那么谁资助这项研究呢?罗伯特·贝尔认为由较大的电话公司提供资金是合情合理的，他还极力主张政府进行一系列广泛的关于辐射可能对身体健康有所影响的调查与研究。

请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个选项。
第三篇Can You Hear This?When something creates a sound wave in a room or anauditorium, listeners hear the sound wave directly from the source. They alsohear the reflections as the sound bounces off thewalls. floor, and ceiling. These are called the reflected wave or reverberant(反射)sound, which can be heard evenafter the sound is no longer coming from the source.The reverberation time of an auditorium isdetermined by the volume or interior size of the auditorium. It is alsodetermined by how well or how poorly the walls, ceiling, floor, and contents ofthe room (including the people) absorb sound. There is no ideal reverberation time,because each use of an auditorium calls for different reverberation. Speechneeds to be understood clearly; therefore rooms used for talking must have ashort reverberation time. The full-sound performance of music such ad Wagneroperas or Mahler symphonies should have a long reverberation time. The light,rapid musical passages of Bach or Mozart need a reverberation time somewherebetween.Acoustic problems often are caused by poorauditorium design. Smooth, curved reflecting surfaces create large reflections.Parallel (平行的）wallsreflect sound back and forth, creating a rapid, repetitive pulsing rge pillars (柱）and comerscan cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object.Some of theseproblems can be solved by using absorbers and reflectors tochange the reverberation time of a room. For example, hanging large reflectors,called clouds, over the performers will allow some sound frequencies to reflectand others to pass to achieve a pleasing mixture of sound.41 This passage is mainly aboutA. Sound waves and their effects.B. the types of music orchestras play.C. walls of an auditorium.D.the design of an auditorium.答案：D42. Wagner operas and Mahler symphonieswith full-sound effect haveA. a short reverberation time.B. an intermediate reverberation time.C. no reverberation time.D. along reverberation time.答案：D43. This passage suggests that a goodauditorium shouldA. get rid of all reflections.B. not have absorbers.C.achieve a pleasing mixture of soundD. have smooth surfaces.答案：C44. Large pillars and corners mayA. make sound rich and full.B. be cures for sound problems.C.be sources of sound problems.D. function as effectively as clouds.答案：C45. The word” acoustic” in thelast paragraph has something to do withA. performanceB.soundC. audienceD. weather答案：B。

1．If Republicans hope to win in 2012, they’d better stop acting like disheveled Demo crats.A．dividedB．disabledC．disguisedD．dissolved正确答案：A解析：本题有一定的难度，考查单词的引申意义，干扰项有一定的干扰性dishevel指“混乱的”，dissolved指“解散的”，干扰较大。
A项是近义词，是最佳答案。
2．This book embraces many subjects.A．adoptsB．coversC．pressesD．accepts正确答案：B解析：借助句意(这本书……许多主题)判断B(包括)是答案。
embrace vt“拥抱，包括，包含”：cover vt(常与with连用)“盖；报道”；adopt vt“收养，采取；采用”。
3．The city has decided to do away with all the old buildings in its center.A．get rid ofB．set upC．repairD．paint正确答案：A解析：划线短语是动词短语，对于该短语的语义有两种查找方法：(1)利用动词do，直接在字典中查找do away with这个短语的语义。
不难得山该短语的语义是“去掉”，所以A是答案；(2)利用该短语中的词义推测：away是“离开”，而备选项中：set up 是“建立”，repair是“修理”，paint是“油漆，描绘”，都与“离开”无关，所以只有get rid of是答案。

Today, hisdiscovery of light-emitting diodes, or1 LEDs, are used in everything fromDVDs to alarm clocks to airports. Dozens of his students have continuedhis work, developing lighting used in traffic lights and other everydaytechnology.On April 23, 2004, Holonyak received the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize ata ceremony in Washington. This marks the 10th year that theLemelson-MIT Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)has given the award to prominent inventors.“Any time you get an award, big or little2, it’s always a surprise.”Holonyak said.Holonyak, 75, was a student of John Bardeen, an inventor of the transistor,in the early 1950s. After graduate school3, Holonyak worked at Bell Labs.He later went to General Electric4, where he invented a switch nowwidely used in house dimmer switches5.Later, Holonyak started looking into how semiconductors could be used togenerate light. But while his colleagues were looking at how to generateinvisible light, he wanted to generate visible light. The LEDs he invented in1962 now last about 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, and aremore environmentally friendly and cost effective.Holonyak, now a professor of electrical and computer engineering andphysics at the University of Illinois, said he suspected that LEDs wouldbecome as commonplace as they are today, but didn’t realize how manyuses they would have.“You don’t know in the beginning. You think you’re doing somethingimportant, you think it’s worth doing, but you really can’t tell what the bigpayoff is going to be, and when, and how. You just don’t know.” he said.The Lemelson-MIT Program also recognized Edith Flanigen, 75, with the$100,000 Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award for her work on anew generation of “molecular sieves,” that can separate molecules bysize.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。

职称外语考试取消？独家揭秘2016考试内幕!
职称外语考试取消？独家揭秘2016考试内幕新东方在线职称外语教研组李莹莹2016年职称外语考试已经结束，这场没有硝烟的战争，总算落下了帷幕。
今年的职称外语考试与往年有何不同，命题趋势有什么变化？职称外语真的会取消么？新形式下职称外语究竟应该如何备考，新东方在线职称外语教研组李莹莹老师为大家独家揭秘2016职称外语考试，希望对大家有帮助。
一、搞定考试第一步，选对词典很重要职称外语考生都知道，职称考试，对我们学员最大的福利就是可以带一本词典进入考场，一方面，是为了搞定第一题词汇选项的15分，另一方面，阅读文章不认识的单词，我们也可以借助词典的帮忙。
按照规定，严谨携带附有“职称外语”和“同义词”字样的词典进入考场。
当然各地的考场环境不同，严厉的老师，一本一本的翻查词典，不合格的直接没收；当然也有的考场，监考老师全程保持静坐姿势，一动不动，方便大家“安心”考试。
据新东方在线学员的反映，某老师的词典被没收的较多，考生一怒之下，转头罢考的也不是少数，小编也是感觉很心酸，默默感叹，明年再见；某些词典虽然暗藏同义词部分，但是真真不给力，15个题目，查不到三瓜俩枣，你确定不是在逗我；当然有的词典还是不错的，群言出版社的新编实用英汉词典，据大量考生反映，找到12-13非常容易 , 冲击14-15 不是梦！另外阅读理解中的同意替换题目，也是可以查到3-6分，有木有很感动！一言以蔽之，选对好词典，送你20分！二、教材文章出题少，专项练习很有必要2013 年职称英语考试改革之后，考试中从教材会选择2-3篇文章，进行改编考查，考生的复习重点也是局限在教材上，翻来覆去，颠来倒去的看看看，但2016年考试之后，我们惊讶的发现：啊？教材文章只有一篇！据统计调查发现，2016年职称英语考试真题中，理工AB各自有一篇教材原文出现，C级无原文；综合ABC 各自有一篇原文；卫生A级一篇，C级两篇；B 级竟然有四篇！看来和2015年考试相同，医学的小伙伴又是这次考试的宠儿呀！或者经历了医师、药师各种考试之后，人事考试中心，开始心疼你们了！教材文章数目减少，小编也表示很气愤，但是仔细观察，就可发现，今年高频考题Sports star Yao ming 【运动明星姚明】，对，就是那篇，综合AB ,理工AB都考到的文章，竟然来自人事出版社的专项练习！Can you hear This 、Smart Window 以及The Theory of everything 都是出自专项练习。
2016年职称英语理工类B级阅读判断历年真题及答案
2015年真题 ADHD finked to Air Pollutants Children have an increased of attention problems seen as early as grade school. If their noses inhaled ( 吸⼊) a certain type of air pollution when they were pregnant. That's the finding of a new study, released when things aren't burned completely, this pollution is known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of PAHs. The biggest sources of these PAHs: the bruning of fossile fuels, wood and trash. Frederica Perera works at Columbia University's Mailman School of public Health is Ne York City. She and her team studied the xposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregant women in New York City. Because burning tobacco can spew (排放) PAHs into the air and lungs. Perera's team focused on nonsmokers. The researchers investigated signs of attention problems in those children, now age 9. They asked each child's mother a series of questions. These included wahtever her child had problems doing things that needed sustained(长期的 )mental effort, such as homework or games with friends. The scientists also asked if the kids had trouble following instructions or made grequent, careless mistakes. All of these can be sumptoms of a disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactiviety Disorder, or ADHD. About one in U.S. children has ADHD. Among the women stueied traffic and home heating were the primary sources of air pollution exposure. Perera and her team suspect. Some of these women had low levels of PAHs in their bolld. Others had ghigh levels. Those with high levels were five times as likely to have dhilren who showed attention problems by age 9. The new findings were published November 5 in the journal PLOS ONE. 16. Perera and her team chose nonsmiking pregnant women all over America. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 17. The main purpose of the research was to find out how exposure to PAHs played a role in harming the subjects' physical health. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 18. Nonsmoking mothers were selected because the effect of smoking on PAHs was unclear. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 19. The blood of each woman was tested once a month during pregnancy. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 20. Kids with ADHD commonly fail in school. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 21. The women with high levels of PAHs in their blood were more likely to have kids with ADHD. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 22. Traffic and home heating were considered to be the biggest sources of PAHs for the subjects in the research. A..Right B. Wrong D. Not mentioned 2014年真题 So Many "Earths" The Milky Way (银⾏) contains billions of Earth-sized planets that could support life. That's the finding of new study. It draws on data that came from NASA's top planet-hunting telescope. A mechanical failure recently put that Kepter space telescope out of service. Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000 stars. Its date have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our galaxy. The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth. The authors of a study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars with a mass and temperature similar to the Sun may host a planet that could support life as we know it. Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth's but no more than twice that big. The planet also would have to orbit in a star's habitable zone. That's where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as liquid. The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from studying more that 42,000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them. The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate (推算) to the rest of the stars that the telescope could not see. The estimate is rough, the authors admit. If applied to the solar system, it would define as habitable a zone starting as close ot the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the distant pase). Using tighter limits the researchers estimate the between 4 and 8 out of every 100 sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world. These are ones that would take 200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit. Four out of every 100 sunlike stars doesn't sound like a big number. It would mean however that the Milky Way could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets with a chance for life. 16. The Kepler space telescope has been in service for 15 years. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 17. The main task of the Kepler space telescope is to find out planets with similar conditions to Earth's. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 18. The planet that could support life might be a little bit smaller than Earth. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 19. The Earth is a planet orbiting in the Sun's habitable zone. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 20. The new finding is based on a thorough study of 170,000 stars on the Milky Way. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 21. The estimate of the number of planets that could support life is not very accurate. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 22. This is the first research finding about the planets with a chance for life. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 2013年真题 Wide World of Robots Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobs. These researchers tinker (修补) with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. "They're the best toys out there,"says Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots. When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved---cars, trains, animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars. Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset's labmates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars: robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist (扭曲) in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain (地形) . "Snakes are far more interesting than the cars, "Choset concluded. After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Choset and his colleagues there bagan developing their own snake robots. Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't, such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl (爬⾏) through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole. But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the doctor has to open a patient's chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake? Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs. A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people. Even after 15 years of working with his team's creations, "I still don't get bored of watching the motion of my robots," Choset says. 16. Choset began to build robots in high school. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 17. Snake robots could move in only four directions. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 18. Choset didn't begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at CamegieMellon. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 19. Choset's snake robots could make more movements than the ones others developed. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 20. The application of a thin robotic snake makes heart surgeries less time-consuming. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 21. Zenati tested the robot on people after using it in pigs. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 22. The robotic technology for surgeries on people has brought a handsome profit to Medrobotics. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 答案与解析 2015年真题 16．B。

理工B阅读理解新增文章第十九篇Musical Robot Companion Enhances Listener Experience Shimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on listener feedback. The smartphone-enabled, one-foot-tall robot is billed as an interactive “musical friend”.“Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about their music，” said Professor Gil Weinberg, the robot’s creator. He will unveil the robot at the June 27th Google I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robots will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements.Shimi is essentially a docking station with a “brain” powered by an Android phone. Once docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user’s mobile device. In other words, if there’s an “app” for that, Shimi is ready. For instance, by using the phone’s camera and face-detecting software，Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its “ears”，or speakers, for optimal sound. Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phone’s musical library and immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestion. Once the music starts，Shimi dances to the rhythm.“Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions, said Music Technology Ph. D. candidate Mason Bretan. “Shimi shows us that robots ca n be creative and interactive. ’’Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi to skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volume. The robot will also have the capability to recommend new music based on the user’s song choices and provide feedback on the music play list.Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to expand Shimi’s creative and interactive capabilities. “I believe that our center is ahead of a revolution that will see more robots in homes.” Weinberg said.Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive licensing agreement with Georgia Tech. Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the 2013 holiday season. “If robots are going to arrive in homes, we think that they will be this kind of machines一 small, entertaining and fun，，，Weinberg said. “They will enhance your life and pave the way for more intelligent service robots in our lives.”词汇：pump v.用抽水机抽;不断播放(音乐)scan v.扫描;浏览skip v.轻跳，跳跃sync n.同步，同时;v.使同步tempo n.速度;节奏注释：1. Georgia Tech:全称是 Georgia Institute of Technology,佐治亚理工学院，建于 1885 年，位于亚特兰大市中心。
佐治亚理工学齒是美国南部最大的公立理工学院,也是全美最顶尖的理工学院之一，排名仅次于麻省理工学院(MIT)和加州理工学院(CalTech)。
2. pump:不断播放(音乐)。
例如:This radio station recently pumps out pop music. (这家广播电台近来连续播放流行音乐。
)3. smartphone-enabled:由智能手机系统支持的4. is billed as:相当于 is advertised as，意为“被标榜为”。

What does Shimi do if the user taps a beat?A It stores the beat in the musical library.B It transmits the beat to the docking station.C It positions its speakers for optimal sound.D It selects a perfectly-matched song and plays it in sync with that beat.3. Which of the following about Shimi is true?A Robots are limited by their programming instructions, and Shimi is no exception.B Present apps allow the user to shake their head to alert Shimi to skip to the next song.C Existing apps allow the user to wave a hand to alert Shimi to turn up/down the volume.D Shimi can be creative and interactive.4. What does the author want to tell us?A The research center is developing a stronger and more versatile Shimi.B Weinberg only expects staffs from Georgia Tech. to develop more apps forShimi.C Shimi is not yet technologically ready for commercialization.D Robots such as Shimi are created for large corporations rather than homes.5. Which of the following is Weinberg’s assertion?A Shimi as a robotic musical companion can be applied to all types of smart phones.B human lives will be filled with more fun if Shimi is going to arrive in homes.C Shimi's creative and interactive capabilities are appreciated by most of its users.D Weinberg has reached an agreement with Georgia Tech to commercialize Shimi.答案与题解：1. B在前三段中均可找到与选项A、C、D相应的句子，强调Shimi是一种电子设备;B与原文不符, Shimi不是该机器人的发明者,Gil Weinberg教授才是the robot’s creator。
