They Say Ireland's the BestIreland is the best place in the world to live for2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week.The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.The index of111countries uses data on incomes,health, unemployment,climate,political stability,job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls"freedom, family and community life".Despite the bad weather,troubled health service, traffic congestion(拥挤),gender inequality,and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive8.33points out of10.That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed8.07.Zimbabwe,troubled by political insecurity and hunger,is rated the gloomiest(最差的),picking up only 3.89points."Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,"the report said,"some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃)in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.""Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation ofcertain warm elements of the old,such as stable family and community life."The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do，and that its findings would have their critics.No.2on the list is Switzerland.The other nations in the top10are Norway,Luxembourg,Sweden,Australia,Iceland, Italy,Denmark and Spain.The UK is positioned at No.29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics.The US,which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg,took the13th place in the survey.China was in the lower half of the league at60th.For2,005.1Years,Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2Job security is the least important measure of life quality.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3Costs Of Living in Ireland is pretty high.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5Ireland is positioned at No.1because it combines the most desirable elements of the new with some good elements of the old.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6To measure life quality is easy.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7The United States of America is among the top10 countries.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned概括大意ArchitectureArchitecture is to building as literature is to the printed word.The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use.They then survive not only as beautiful objects，but as documents of the history of cultures.These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals.Architecture is a social art.The renaissance brought about an entirely new age，not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture，the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted.They remain dominant until the20th century.Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure.Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture.The use of stone has declined，however，because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of building.More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings;they spend their income in large shopping centers，send their children to many different kinds of schools，and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics.All theses different types of buildings accumulated experiences needed by their designers.By the middle of the20th century，modern architecture，which was influenced by new technology and mass production，was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete.Advances in elevator technology，air conditioning，and electric lighting have all had important effects.EXERCISE：1.Paragraph2_____________.2.Paragraph3_____________.3.Paragraph4_____________.4.Paragraph5_____________.A Building materialsB Need of greater building varieties in modern lifeC Restoration of ancient civilizationsD Evolution in styleE factors affecting modern architectureF A social art5.Some buildings are so well constructed that they are not onlyuseful______.6.Ancient Greek and Roman architectural styles，which were restored during renaissance，were still influential_____.7.As modern life becomes more complex，people have to put up many different kinds of buildings_____.8.The use of new building materials and the introduction of such new technology as the elevator and the air-conditioner have played an important role______.A to meet their needsB but also beautiful to look atC in the development of modern architectureD to design more buildingsE even in the20th centuryF to outlast their original use阅读理解David Jones and His SalaryComputer programmer

2015职称英语考试综合类B级概括大意模拟试题及答案
Even Intelligent People Can Fail1The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed.Turn on a light，take a photograph，watch TV，search the Web，jet across the Pacific Ocean，talk on a cell-phone(手机)。
The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze(错综复杂)of wrong turns.2We have just celebrated the125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison's success in heating a thin line to white-hot heat for14hours in his lab in New Jersey，US.He did that on October22，1879，and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight(点亮着的)in an airless space for45hours.Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan，even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on，on September4，1882.3"Many of life's failures，"the supreme innovator said，"are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."Before that magical moment in October1879，Edison had worked out no fewer than3，000theories about electric light，but in only two cases did his experiments work.4No one likes failure，but the smart innovators learn fromit.Mark Gumz，the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc，attributes some of the company's successes in technology to understanding failure.His popular phrase is："You only fail when you quit."5Over two centuries，the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence.That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney，the founder of Disneyland，was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1.50to get his shoes from the repair shop.Pioneering car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car.6Failure is harder to bear in today's open，accelerated world.Hardly any innovation works the first time.But an impatient society and the media want instant success.When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time，a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records(Geffen's company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down)was that the Titanic had better music.Actually，it wasn't.After four years of losses，Geffen had so many hits (成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic allto himself.1Paragraph2__________.2Paragraph3__________.3Paragraph4__________.4Paragraph5__________.A Importance of learning from failureB Quality shared by most innovatorsC Edison's innovationD Edison's comment on failureE Contributions made by innovatorsF Miseries endured by innovators5People often didn't realize how close they were to success when__________.6Before Henry Ford eventually developed the Model T car，__________.7Walt Disney was once so poor that__________.8The media demand that__________.A he developed3，000theoriesB he couldn't afford to buy a pair of shoesC he found himself an unsuccessful manD they quittedE an innovation should work immediatelyF failure is the mother of success「参考答案」1.C2.D3.A4.B5.D6.C7.B8.E Global Warming1Smoke is clouding our view of global warming，protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters of the greenhouse(温室)effect.That might sound like good news，but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades，we are facing a dramatic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses.2This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem，Berlin，where top atmospheric scientists got together，including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin，former chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)。

Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human p opulation 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 inLatin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted ifthere aren’t any trees. With increased production come i ncreased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide frompredators(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 neededto grow the coffee. 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 enterthe water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning togrow more coffee bushes in the shade.

A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last monthat the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe h ad become k nown in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be thefirst non-human to learn a human l anguage. 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 s aid she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when i t was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like," Who i s coming to play?" Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies oftheir own into this new a nd exciting area of research. The whole directionof primate research changed.However, critics argued Washoe o nly learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developedtrue language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggestthat primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signsonly for prizes. Yet Washoe's keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a formerstudent of the Gardners. 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 Washoerprovided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today,there are not as many scientists studying language skills withchimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a verylong time.Debate continues about chimps understanding of human c ommunication. Yet, one thing is sure-Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.36.【题干】The Gardners' experiment with Washoe_____.【选项】A.began in 1969.B.won a big prize.sted three yearsD.influenced primate research【答案】D【查看文字解析>>】37. 【题干】The second paragraph mainly discusses _____.【选项】A.a report about Washoe's progress in learning sign language.B.the whole direction of primate research.C.new primate researches conducted by many language scientific.D.an experiment with Washoe at a research center in Africa.【答案】A【查看文字解析>>】38. 【题干】The Gardners' experiment with Washoe was criticized because _____.【选项】A.just ask some simple question.B.only copy teachers' sign language.C.only memorize about 250 words.D.just repeat short sentences.【答案】B【查看文字解析>>】39. 【题干】According to the passage ,which of the following is true?【选项】A.Roger Fouts taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees.B.Washoe was the first chim to use American Sign Language.C.A chimpanzee died of natural causes in Africa at a research center.D.Nowadays there are still lots of scientists experimenting with chimpanzees.【答案】B40. 【题干】We can draw a conclusion from the last paragraph that_____.【选项】A.whether chimps can learn a human language remains unanswer.B.primates have the ability to speak a language.C.animals can's learn a human sign.D.Washoe is as intelligent as humans.【答案】C第三篇：Moderate Earthquake Strikes EnglandA moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April2007, toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One w oman 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 struckat 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 15seconds."I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up frombed next to me." said Hendrick van Eck,27,of Canterbury about 60 milessoutheast of London. "I then heard the sound of cracking, and it wasgetting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of mybed 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 thestrongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck thecentral 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 Surveyscientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an areathat had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage m 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 bescared too much b y this prediction, Musson s aid, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quakeand announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allowtime for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.41. 【题干】The biggest earthquake took place in Britain _____.【选项】A.in 1931.B.in 1580.C.in 2002.D.in 2007.【答案】A42. 【题干】The word "collapsed "in Paragraph 4 most probably meas _____.【选项】A.fell apart.B.flew off.C.shook up.D.blew out.【答案】A43. 【题干】The phrase "this scale "in Paragraph 6 refers to_____.【选项】A.4.8-magnitude quake.B.4.3-magnitude quake.C.5.8 on the Richter scale.D.6.1 on the Richter scale.【答案】B44. 【题干】The following statements are true EXCEPT_____.【选项】A.the quake caused a power failure in Kent Country.B.the tremor lasted for 10-15 seconds.C.people in Canterbury felt strong quake.D.the quake was centered centered under the Channel Tunnel.【答案】D45. 【题干】 It can be learnt from the last paragraph that _____.【选项】A.moderate earthquakes often strike London in the historyB.earthquake warming system of Britain can predict theC.another earthquake is predicted to occur in England.D.the French also felt the earthquake taking place on【答案】B第5部分：补全短文Saving a City's Public ArtAvoiding traffic jams in Los Angeles may b e impossible, but the city's colorful freeway murals(壁画)can brighten even the worst commute.

2015年职称英语考试综合类B级补全短文模拟试题及答案
Read With Greater SpeedDo you have difficulty reading in class?If so,a special reading program that helps match sounds with letters could speed up your brain.At least one out of every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning to read,even when the students are good at other subjects.(1)Researchers from Yale University,US,studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State.As part of the study,37struggling readers received special tutoring.Every day,instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes(音素).(2)By the end of the school year,these children could read faster than before.They also made fewer mistakes,and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.As part of their study,the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students'brains.(3)This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read.This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiarwritten words quickly.In lower level readers,this structure remains inactive.A year later,the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gore through the special tutoring,and they continued to do well in reading tests(4) However,some researchers still doubt the study.(5)A Many adults are interested in matching sounds with lettersB The students also practiced reading aloud and spellingC The biggest challenge for many of these kids,scientists say,is matching sounds with letters.D Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading program didn't show the same progress.E The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side.F They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more efficient.答案1.C2.B3.E4.D5.FScience and TechnologyThere is a difference between science and technology.(46)Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools,techniques,and procedures for applying the findings of science.(47) Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists, who seek to understand the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty,cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.(48)But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides,we have the choice of refusing to believe it!But hardly so with technology;we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sound produced by a supersonic(超音速的)aircraft flying overhead;we cannot refuse to breathe polluted air.(49)The purpose of technology is to serve people——people in general,not merely some people;and future generations,not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.(50)Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution,resource depletion(枯竭)and even social decay in general-so much so that the promise of technology is"obscured".That promise is a cleaner and healthier world.If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world,what else will?A Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.B Unlike science,progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.C What scientists discover may shock or anger people w as did Darwin's theory of evolution.D Science and technology are differentE We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.F Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.答案46.F47.A48.C49.B50.E解析：46.F第一句总述了科学和技术是有差别的。
