2021年职称英语考试阅读理解练习题及答案解析(TheColdPlaces)
2021年职称英语考试阅读理解练习题及答案解析The Cold PlacesThe Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.Like Antarctica, the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading ---125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Reading of 85 degrees below zero are common in both the Arctic and Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 d3egrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature --- the killing chill of far North and the polar South.To survive, men must wear the warmest possible clothing . They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at al times. Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the below-zero temperatures.Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.What about animals? Can they survive? Do we find plants? Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica? Yes, we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.Antarctica, as we have seen, is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not alwaysbeen a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have much like our own.Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.1) The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded in Antarctica.A. RightB. WrongC.

2021年职称英语阅读理解解题技巧「超详细的」
职称英语阅读理解解题技巧「超详细的」xx年职称英语阅读理解解题技巧「超详细的」在职称考试中,阅读理解题是第31-45题,共3篇短文,每篇5道考题,每题3分,共45分。
那么我们如何掌握着重中之重,以便顺利通过考试呢?职称考试阅读部分经常会结合以下几点出题,阅读时需要把它们画下来。
(一)转折转折是出题人最常用的考点,有时一篇文章后面的三个至四个题目与原文中含有转折的句子有关,如下面文章就有四个题目的答案在原文含有but的句子中。
所以,看原文和做题时都要时刻关注含有转折的句子。
例如:下面文章最后一段: The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However,that would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes. 对应题目: The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________. A.would cause serious financial problems B.would be worthwhile though costlyC.would increase the plexity of architectural designD.can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes 当时不少同学只看到第一句话(新型建筑造价很高),就马上选择A选项,殊不知however引出的这句话才是真正的考点。
第二句话是说“新型建筑可以在地震的时候挽救很多人的生命,更不容易被损坏”,据此意,正确答案应该选B项。
从上面的例子中我们应该意识到原文中转折的意义了。
因此考生阅读原文时尤其要注意转折的提示词,主要有:but,however,yet,on the contrary.(二)数字涉及数字的题目要求考生能利用题干中的时间、数字在原文中定位找答案;能根据原文中的数字进行简单计算。

最新职称英语学习资料(阅读理解讲义)7Even though ulcers appear to run in families, lifestyle plays more of a role than genetic factors in causing the illness, according to a report in the April 13th Journal of Internal Medicine. In particular, smoking and stress in men and the regular use of pain-releasing medicines in women were linked with an increased risk of developing an ulcer.Overall, 61% of ulcer risk appears to be due to environmental factors, such as smoking, and the remaining 39% is due to genes according to Dr. Ismo Raiha of the University of Turky and colleagues at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Some researchers had suggested that families may spread Helicobacteria pylori, the bacteria that can cause ulcers. However, the new study suggests this is unlikely, according to the report.Raiha and colleagues studied data from more than 13,000 pairs of twins "to examine the roles of genetic and environmental factors in the origin of peptic ulcer disease," they explain. Both twins were more likely to develop an ulcer ifthe pair were genetically the same as compared with a pair of fraternal twins, suggesting that there must be some genetic susceptibility to ulcer development.However, the risk was no greater in twins living together compared with twins living apart, suggesting that shared exposure to H. pylori was not to blame. "Environment effects were not due to factors shared by family members, and they were related to smoking and stress in men and the use of analgesics in women," the authors wrote. "The minor effects of shared environment to disease liability do not support the concept that the grouping of risk factors, such as H. pylori infection, would explain the genetic factor of peptic ulcer disease," they concluded.1. According to the passage, which of the following is a very likely cause of ulcer in men?A) Smoking and stress.B) Drinking and smoking.C) Genes and children.D) Use of a certain medicine.2. What factors contribute to over half the ulcers?A) Hereditary factors.B) Economic factors.C) Environmental factors.D) Genetic factors.3. In relation to ulcers, experts study twins in order to examineA) the roles of genetic factors.B) the roles of environmental factors.C) the roles of both factors.D) the roles of brotherhood.4. What does "environmental effects" in the fifth paragraph refer to?A) A clean environment with no smoke and dust surrounding the living area.B) Smoking and stress in men and use of pain-killing medicine in Women.C) Factors shared by family members such as genes and the food they eat.D) Shared exposure to H. pylori infection in the unclean environment.5. The passage argues thatA) ulcers are related to genes.B) ulcers are related to lifestyle.C) ulcers appear in men and women.D) ulcers are caused by pylori infection.KEY:ACCBBPASSAGE 52First AidFirst aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, an unobstructed airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal injury and paralysis.Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principlesof first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for medical bracelet or card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim's condition is known by the acronym ABC, which stands for:A- Airway: is it open and unobstructed?B- Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.C- Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.Once obvious injuries have been evaluated, the injuredperson's head should be kept in a neutral position in line with the body. If no evidence exists to suggest potential skull or spinal injury, place the injured person in a comfortable position. Positioned on one side, a victim can vomit without choking or obstructing the airway.1. It is very important in first aid toA) move the injured person from the scene of accident immediately.B) spend a few minutes for making the difference between recovery and death.C) know what to do and what not to do according to the condition of the victim.D) remove the medical bracelet or card from the victim.2. One of the following practices is NOT right in the first aid, that is,A) to check whether the victim is breathing.B) to let the victim lie on one side.C) to telephone a hospital at once.D) to wait patiently for more skillful medical treatment before carrying on first aid.3. The article implies that the provider of first aid should be especially carefulA) in handing the victim only if he learns that the victim has both diabetes and heart trouble.B) in handing the victim if he learn that the victim has diabetes or heart trouble.C) not to move the victim if he finds a medical bracelet on the victim.D) not to move the victim if he finds the accident scene to be unsafe.4. According to this article, first aid is usually provided byA) professional doctors.B) the victim's family members.C) the victim's friends.D) those people who are not necessarily professional doctors.5. This article can be said to be one toA) give basic knowledge about how to practice first aid.B) give a brief introduction to the history of first aid.C) give some knowledge to anyone who may be injured in an accident.D) give warning that first aid is dangerous to those who do not know to do it.Key: CDBDAPASSAGE 53SleeplessnessInsomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause.Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you. For women who are having night sweats, their sleep is broken by frequent awakening and therefore not refreshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns. If it doesn't it may be, or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know?If you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic insomnia. If you're not having night sweats then it's time to look for other causes of sleeplessness. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disorders such as restless leg syndrome are second on the list of insomnia for them; there are new medicines that may help. Other common causes are shiftworking, and pain.In up to 30% of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified. Medical treatment of these people has generally been with sleeping pills. It is estimated that 25% of the adult population in America took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleeping pills should only be in the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time.Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits. The recommendations are:-Go to bed only when sleepy.-Do not wait up to a specified time.-Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening, etc.1. The word "insomnia" meansA) having trouble falling asleep.B) feeling that sleep is enough.C) Having no sweats at night.D) Having normal sleep pattern.2.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end---with mercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The mercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is fortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed---new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be carefulof what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has bee harder a s the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests---even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end es just at no more ways to sit. 1. Aording to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A) Buses on the road.B) Films on television.C) Advertisements on the board.D) Gas stations.2. What is the purpose of this passage?A) To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B) To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C) To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D) To describe the billboards along the road.3. the writer of this passage would probably favorA) bus drivers who weren’t recklessB) driving alone.C) a television set on the bus.D) no billboards along the road.4. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows becauseA) the mercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun.B) they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with mercials in between.C) the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses.D) both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.5.

The original chocolate drink was made form the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinkswere served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from south America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Br azil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.Aording to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats wereattracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.1.

In the League, the Club finished in third place, two points behind the champions. Out of 28 League games, 16 were won, 8 were drawn and 4 were lost, whilst the Club managed to reach the semi-final of the Challenge Cup for the first time in its history. Of the eightfriendly matches, four were won, two were drawn, and two were lost, but these defeats were at the hands of visiting teams whose standards were generally much higher than those of players of this area.At the same time, the standard of play shown by our own team was markedly superior to that seen in previous years, and this suess is largely due to the intensive training programme which has been supervised by the team captain. In this connection, the provision of adequate training facilities must remain a priority, and the erection of an indoor gymnasium or hall in which the players can practise on wet evenings is essential. It would do much to supplement the outdoor training being carried on, and would help the Club in the recruitment of younger players.There are now 28 players registered with the Club, and many more have asked to join but have been discouraged bythe fact that the Club fields only one team. With the improvement in the financial position, concerning which the Treasurer will report in a minute. I suggest that the Committee consider entering a team in the Second Division of the League.1.

The following ad in a local used car publication catches your eyes.1993 Ford Ranger, bilk, 4WD, a/cAM/FM/cass., showroom condition.Call 555-1234 after 5 p.mThis is exactly the kind of vehicle you want, so you call to inquire about the price. The price you are quoted over the phone is $2,000 lower than the price for this model with this equipment listed in a used car guidebook. Instead of being ecstatic, however, you are suspicious.For many products, when you must pay less than the going rate, you believe you are getting a great deal. This is not necessarily the case for used cars or other durablegoods(washing machines and television sets, for example) because with expensive products-or, what is essentially the same thing, products with high replacement costs-you must be particularly careful about getting a "lemon." Or a product of substandard quality.In addition to asking the price, the age of a car-or any other consumer durable-is a factor when you are trying to determine whether a seller is attempting to unload a lemon. While people have all sorts of reasons for wanting to sell their cars-even relatively new cars-most people hold off until they have put many thousands of miles on a car or until the used car is several years old.

Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to pete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who pete, win or lose. That is in spirit of the Olympics-to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held- the host country-marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the petitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsman march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display?The petitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sorts in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Eachday the petitors take part in a different sport-riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for theindividual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the games. They first peted in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics, Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they pete in all but half a-dozen of the sports.

The road crew were playing a game with dollar notes. Folding them into small planes to see whose would fly the furthest.I having nothing better to do,I joined in andwon five,and then took the opportunity to escape with my profit. Despite the evil-looking clouds,I had to get out for a while.I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others,it didn't have a sign shouting its name and business,and instead of the usual impersonal modern lighting,there was an appealing glow inside. Strangely nothing was displayed in the window. Not put off by this,I went inside.It took my breath away. I didn't know where to look, where to start. Onone wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made. I came across tin toysand antique furniture, and on the wall in front of me, a 1957 Stratocaster guitar , also in excellent condition. A card pushed between the strings said $50. I ran my hand along a long shelf of records, reading their titles. And there was more...�DCan I help you?‖ She startled me. I hadn't even seen the woman behind the counter come in. The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power.It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field. I found it hard to take and almost turned away. But though it was uncomfortable. I was fascinated by the experience of her looking straight into me, and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible totell her age;she reminded me faintly of my grandmother because, although her eyes were friendly, I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with. I spoke at last. 'I was just looking really,' I said, though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room, indicatingthat I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room. The light made me feel peculiar, too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes withdelicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.I noticed some old books, whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read. 'They look interesting,' I said, with some hesitation. 'To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience,' she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face, but didn't add anything.She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. 'This is the best book I can give you at the moment,' she laughed. �DIf you use it.‖ I opened the book to find it full. or rather empty, with blank white pages, but paid her the few dollars she asked for it, becoming embarrassed when I realised the notes were still folded into little paper planes. I put the book in my pocket, thanked her and left.词汇:impersonal /im'p?:s?n?l/ adj. 客观的;非个人的;没有人情味的;[语] 非人称的 n.[语]非人称动词;不具人格的事物antique / n'ti:k/ adj. 古老的,年代久远的 n. 古董,古玩 startle/'st��:tl/ vt. vi. 使吓一跳,使惊奇 n.惊愕,惊恐 arid / ' rid/ adj. 干旱的,枯萎的。

最新职称英语学习资料(阅读理解讲义)7 PASSAGE 51 Ul ___rsEven though ul ___rs appear to run in families,lifestyle plays more of a role than geic factors in causing the illness, aording to a report in the April 13th Journal of Internal Medicine. In particular, ___oking and stress in men and the regular use of pain-releasing medicines in women were linked with an increased risk of developing anul ___r. Overall, 61% of ul ___r risk appears to be due to enviro ___ental factors, such as ___oking, and the re___ining 39% is due to genes aording to Dr. I ___o Raiha of the University of Turky and colleagues at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Some researchers had suggested that families ___y spread Helicobacteria pylori, the bacteria that can cause ul ___rs. However, the new study suggests this is unlikely, aording to the report. Raiha and colleagues stu ___d data from more than 13,000 pairs of twins "to examine the roles of geic and enviro ___ental factors in the origin of peptic ul ___r disease," they explain. Both twins were more likely to develop an ul ___r if the pair were geically the same as pared with a pair offraternal twins, suggesting that there must be some geic sus ___ptibility to ul ___r development. However, therisk was no greater in twins living together pared with twins living apart, suggesting that shared exposure to H. pylori was not to blame. "Enviro ___ent effects were not due to factors shared by family members, and they were related to ___oking and stress in men and the use of___gesics in women," the authors wrote. "The minor effects of shared enviro ___ent to disease liability do not support the con ___pt that the grouping of risk factors, such as H. pylori infection, would explain the geic factor of pepticul ___r disease," they concluded.1. Aording to the passage, which of the following is a very likely cause of ul ___r in men? A) Smoking and stress. B) Drinking and ___oking. C) Genes and children. D) Use of a ___rtain medicine.2. What factors contribute to over half the ul ___rs? A) Hereditary factors. B) Economic factors. C) Enviro ___ental factors. D) Geic factors.3. In relation to ul ___rs, experts study twins in order to examine A) the roles of geic factors. B) the roles of enviro ___ental factors. C) the roles of both factors. D) the roles of brotherhood.4. What does "enviro ___ental effects" in the fifth paragraph refer to? A) A clean enviro ___ent with no ___oke and dust surrounding the living area. B) Smoking and stress in men and use of pain-killing medicine in Women. C) Factors shared by family members such as genes and the food they eat. D) Shared exposure to H. pylori infection in the unclean enviro ___ent.5. The passage argues that A) ul ___rs are related to genes. B) ul ___rs are related to lifestyle. C) ul ___rs appear in men and women. D) ul ___rs are caused by pylori infection.KEY:ACCBBPASSAGE 52First AidFirst aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid ___y save a life or improve ___rtain vital signs including pulse, temperature, an unobstructed airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid ___y prevent a victim's condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can ___ke the differen ___ between plete recovery and loss of life. First-aid measures depend upon avictim's needs and provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to per ___nent spinal injury and paralysis. Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the s ___ne, asking otherpeople or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that ___y have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for medical bra ___let or card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the aident s ___ne bees unsafe or the victim ___y suffer further injury, do not move the victim. First aid requires rapid asses ___ent of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim's condition is known by the acronym ABC, which stands for: A- Airway: is it open and unobstructed? B- Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing. C- Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Checkskin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems. On ___ obvious injuries have been evaluated, the injured person's head should be kept in a neutral position in line with the body. If no eviden ___ exists to suggest potential skull or spinal injury, pla ___ the injured person in a fortable position. Positioned onone side, a victim can vomit without choking or obstructing the airway. 1. It is very important in first aid to A) movethe injured person from the s ___ne of aident immediately.B) spend a few minutes for ___ the differen ___ between recovery and death. C) know what to do and what not to do aording to the condition of the victim. D) remove the medical bra ___let or card from the victim.2.

This article can be said to be one to A) give basic knowledge about how to practi ___ first aid. B) give abrief introduction to the history of first aid. C) give some knowledge to anyone who ___y be injured in an aident.D) give warning that first aid is dangerous to those who do not know to do it.Key: CDBDAPASSAGE 53 SleeplessnessInsomnia or sleeplessness is a mon plaint of women as they enter into menopause.
