From boosting brainpower to increased job prospects, the advantages of learning a second language are vast and varied.Very simply, learning a second language can broaden your horizons, both intellectually and culturally. It can provide a gateway into a new world of literature, film, and online content, allowing you to access a wealth of information and entertainment that you would otherwise not have been able to appreciate.Furthermore, learning a second language can improve your decision-making skills, as it forces you to stop and consider the meanings behind the words you use. This can make you a more careful thinker and help you to communicate more effectively.In terms of employment, speaking more than one language is always a valuable asset. It can increase your chances of finding a job in an increasingly globalized market. Employers are always looking for candidates who can bring an extra dimension to their companies, and being bilingual is an excellent way to stand out from the competition.The benefits of learning a second language are not limited to the practical, however. Learning a new language can also improve your mental health, as studies have shown that it can help to ward off dementia and other age-related mental illnesses. Taking up a second language can be both challenging and rewarding, and ultimately a way to give your brain a good workout.21. What does the author say about learning a second language?A) It can make you mentally stronger.B) It can enhance your physical health.C) It can undermine your decision-making skills.D) It can hinder international job prospects.22. What does the author suggest about learning a second language?A) It can isolate you from other cultures.B) It can limit your understanding of literature.C) It can enrich your life in various ways.D) It can distract you from practical skills.23. Why is it said that learning a second language can improve decision-making skills?A) It enables you to communicate more effectively.B) It encourages you to assess the meanings behind words.C) It forces you to learn a foreign country’s culture.D) It helps you to understand age-related mental illnesses.24. Why does the author mention globalized market in the third paragraph?A) To introduce a new aspect of language learning.B) To warn against unsteady job prospects.C) To show the importance of multilingual candidates.D) To propose a new business model.25.

2015职称英语综合类B级真题(阅读理解) 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。

请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。

第一篇Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreaseslocal-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow thecoffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly. Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee.D. People should buy shade-grown coffee.32.The function of the word "Traditionally" in Paragraph 2 is to show_____.A. the positive effects of coffee.B. a change of coffee growth.C. something that is the most important.D. how coffee production used to be.33.What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?A. More insects.B. Better quality coffee.C. Larger farms.D. Higher profits.34.How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?A. They buy more land from other farmers.B. They cut down trees.C. They move to another country.D. They turn grassland into farmland.35.The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT_____ full sunA. insects.B. air.C. birdsD. humans第二篇Washoe Learned American Sign Language An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe's progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like," Who is coming to play?" Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primateslearn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe's keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardeners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoer provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure-Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence36. The Gardeners’ experiment with Washoe_____.A. began in 1969B. won a big prizeC. lasted three yearsD. influenced primate research37. The second paragraph mainly discusses_____.A. a report about Washoe’s progress in learning sign languageB. the whole direction of primate researchC. new primate researches conducted by many language scientificD. an experiment with Washoe at a research center in Africa.38. The Gardeners’ experiment with Washoe was criticized because______.A. just ask some simple questionB. only copy tea chers’ sign languageC. only memorize about 250wordsD. just repeat short sentences.39. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Roger Fouts taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees.B. Washoe was the first chimp to use American Sign LanguageC. A chimpanzee died of natural causes in Africa at a research centerD. Nowadays there are still lots of scientists experimenting with chimpanzees40. We can draw a conclusion from the last paragraph that_____.A. Whether chimps can learn a human language remains unansweredB. primate have the ability to speak a languageC. animals cannot learn a human signD. Washoe is as intelligent as humans第三篇Moderate Earthquake Strikes EnglandA moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2007,toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries."It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride," said the woman.The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds."I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me." said Hendrick van Eck,27,of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London."Ithen heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down."There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.The country's strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in1931,measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France.Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place.
