A Brief Introduction of Hurricanes（龙卷风）
1. Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo. Charlie, etc. But in 1953, female names were given because of the unpredictability（不可预知）factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist（性别歧视的）nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.
2. Hurricanes and typhoons（台风）are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the west Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind". And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese tai fun, meaning "great wind". To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have
maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.
3. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses（凝结）from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator（赤道）. To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.
4. Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we don't know how to make such great energy work for us.
5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days. It can be maddening（发疯的）if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.
6. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.
23. Paragraph 1 ________
24. Paragraph 2 ________
25. Paragraph 4 ________
26. Paragraph 5 ________
A. Harnessing the Hurricane Energy
B. Difficulty in Forecasting the
Course of a Hurricane
C. Huge Energy Stored in a Hurricane
D. Forecasting a Hurricane through
Satellite Watching
E. Different Names for the Same
Things
F. A Short History of Naming
Hurricanes
27. Both male and female names are used for hurricanes in consideration of ________.
28. Using weather satellites can ensure ________ of hurricanes.
29. Energy specialists may be interested in ________ of hurricanes.
30. Scientists cannot accurately predict the course of a hurricane due to ________.
A. convenience
B. sex equality
C. its connection with humans
D. the huge power
E. the timely（及时的）discovery
F. its uncertainty
第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每题后面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇
Pessimism Increases Risk of Early Death
A 70-year study of personality suggests that pessimism（悲观主义）is a risk factor for early death, especially among men.
The study results also indicate that pessimism can be linked to increased risk for sudden death from accidents or violence, according to the report published in the March issue of Psychological Science.
Christopher Peterson of the University of Michigan and his colleagues analyzed data from the Terman Life-Cycle Study, which began by studying California public-school children with high IQs in 1921 and followed them through their life. Most of the 1528 children were preadolescents（少年）when the study began. Those still living are now in their 80s. In 1936 and 1940, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to obtain information about difficult life events and their effect on overall outlook. One such question was, "What do you regard as your most serious fault of personality or character?"
Pessimists were defined as fatalistic（宿命论的）people who tend to blame themselves when things go wrong and who believe that one bad event can ruin the rest of their life. They also tend to expect bad things to happen to them and feel that they have little or no ability to change their situation.
Males were more likely than females to be classified as pessimistic. Compared with individuals with a more cheerful and optimistic outlook, pessimists were more likely to die from accidents and violence (including suicide).
A pessimistic personality may lead to poor problem-solving ability, social difficulties and risky decision-making. Taken together, these variables put the pessimist at higher risk of untimely（不适时的）death, say the researchers. Such a person is less likely to avoid or escape potentially dangerous situations, the researchers concluded. "A pessimistic way of thinking in which people worry too much about bad events, foreshadows（预示）untimely death decades later," according to Peterson.
31. According to the passage, you may be a pessimistic person, if one failure makes you feel ________
A. other people have been unfair to you.
B. other people will help you.
C. you cannot change a bad situation.
D. you can do better next time.
32. According to the passage, pessimists may feel all of the following EXCEPT ________
A. helpless when faced with difficulties.
B. cheerful when faced with troubles.
C. hopeless when one bad event occurs.
D. guilty when things go wrong.
33. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? ________
A. Pessimists believe that everything in life depends on fate.
B. There are more pessimists among women than among men.
C. Most pessimists will end up committing suicide.
D. All pessimists will eventually die from accidents.
34. The Terman Life-Cycle Study is a research program that studies ________
A. people over 70 years old.
B. people since their childhood.
C. pessimistic people over 80 years old.
D. only younger people.
35. The analysis made by Christopher Peterson and his colleagues shows that pessimistic people ________
A. will die from violence if they learn to be optimistic.
B. will die soon if they are not able to learn to be cheerful and optimistic.
C. will die from violence because their IQs are low.
D. will more likely die from violence than optimistic people.

Her Tiny Heart
Cheyenne Pyle became famous, and the best part is that she'll never remember a bit of it. Early Sunday the 3.4-kg girl was born at a children's hospital. Ninety minutes later, she was undergone surgery to replace her underdeveloped heart, and operation that restored her to heart and made her the world's youngest heart taker.
Even before Cheyenne was delivered, doctors knew she was in for a rough ride. Ultrasound revealed a deformity in the left side of her heart; she would need either a series of procedures to correct the defect or a simple operation to replace the organ. Her parents chose the transplant.

He enjoyed his work and traveling. Then, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Russia, Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak.

2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案(3)
2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案 （3） “We hire talent. ” Those are the words of Rod Franz， a civil service computer technology director， responding to the question of opportunities for women who are interested in pursuing careers as computer technicians. On at least one of three shifts in his operation， the male-female ratio is 50-50. That is not surprising because government and educational institutes are required by the law to make every effort to open hiring opportunities to women and minority workers. What may be even more interesting to young women is that，according to Franz， private industry is hiring women and minorities away from us. And， since private industry pays more， it succeeds. Managers in the rapidly growing computer service field are quick to agree. They strongly encourage women to train for technician jobs， and they actively recruit female technicians across the country. They believe that this career field offers a wealth of possibility for women. A recent study by the Devry Institute of Technology that involved 100 employment managers in the Chicago area showed，too， that the number of women entering the field of computer science is on the rise， and that those already in the field are moving up. A significant increase in the number of women

第八篇Eat Healthy "Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate -club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often，it's accompanied by an appeal:" Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little. Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently，some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller. It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that，after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck ，happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents. 词汇: orphan /''?:f?n] / n.孤儿 belly /'beli/ n.肚子 3

第五篇Tracking Down HIV In the summer of 1980, a patient had a strange purplish spot removed from below his ear. It was Kaposi’s sarcoma, a rare form of skin cancer. This patient also had lymph node swelling and exhaustion. In November 1980, a Los Angeles immunologist examined a young man who had diseases linked to immune system malfunctions. The doctor had a T-cell count taken of the patient’s blood. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role1 in immune responses. The patient had no helper T-cells. By the end of 1980, 55 Americans were diagnosed with infections related to immune system breakdown; four had died. A year later the death toll was 74. Intravenous drug users had T-cell abnormalities. People who had received blood transfusions showed symptoms of immune system breakdown. By July 1982, 471 cases of the disease, now called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), had been reported; 184 people had died. In April 1984, American virologist Dr. Robert Gallo isolated the pathogen, or disease producer, responsible for2 AIDS. He called it HTLV-III. In Paris, Dr. Luc Montagnier identified a virus he called LAV. An international panel of scientists determined that both men had found the same virus. It became known as Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Blood banks began screening for HTV in 1985, but by then about 29,000 people had been infected through blood transfusions. Some 12,000 hemophiliacs had contracted HIV through blood-clotting products. By 1995, 477,900 Americans had AIDS; 295,500 had died.
