A2013职称英语综合类B级阅读理解冲刺模拟题汇总Powers of Self-suggestion Most systems of medicine are based on theater. With leeches, acupuncture needles, vitamin pills or whatever stage prop is appropriate for the time and culture, the healer artfully evokes the patient's powers of self-suggestion, which are responsible for whatever healing may occur.Western medicine operates on a different plane. For one thing, it has the most impressive props - expensive medicines, elaborate rituals and mysterious high-tech machines with a white-gowned cast to operate them. For another, it evokes the patient's auto suggestive powers all the more forcefully by pretending to ignore them. This mysterious gift of self-healing is cloaked with an anodyne label, the "placebo effect", and recognized only as a nuisance likely to confound clinical trials. But the placebo (Latin for "I will please") and its shadowy twin the nocebo ("I will harm") are much more than methodological problems: they lie at the heart of every interaction between doctor and patient.How they work no one knows. But the brain rules the body in many subconscious ways, including its control of the body's major hormones and its subtle influence over the immune system. So it's possible that, in ways yet unknown, expectations about health or disease are sometimes translated into a bodily reaction that fulfills them.The power of these effects is hard to overstate. A rule of thumb is that 30 percent of patients in the placebo half of a drug trial (i.e. those who unknowingly receive a dummy pill instead of the real thing) will experience an improvement in symptoms. But the proportion may be much higher. Just like real drugs, placebo pills can produce stronger effects in larger doses. Patients will report greater relief when given a larger pill, or two dummy capsules instead of one.Doctors' expectations also contribute to the awesome power of the placebo effect. In a study of tooth extractions, patients were given either a painkiller or sham drugs. Some dentists were assigned to give either drug, without knowing which, but other dentists knew they would be giving only sham drugs. The patients whose dentists thought they had at least a 50-50 chance of giving a painkiller suffered significantly less pain.Presumably, doctors transmit their expectations to the patient through subtle cues, often without knowing they are doing so. For this reason, all properly designed drug trials are double blind. But given that both groups can often guess from the side effects, even this precaution may not always crush the generation of expectancies.1. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Western medicine?A) It reduces the patients; self-healing powers.B) It has the full support of high-tech machines.C) It is very expensive. D) It has complicated rituals.2. What dose the term "the placebo effect" mean?A) It means the mind-troubling effect. B) It means the psychological effect.C) It means the harmful effect. D) It means the theatrical effect.3. What does "them" (the last word in paragraph 3) refer to?A) Clinical trials. B) The body's major hormones.C) Expectations about health or disease. D) Many subconscious ways.4. Why did the patients whose dentists thought they had at least a 50-50 chance of being given a painkiller suffer significantly less pain?A) Because of doctors' expectations. B) Because of the placebo effect.C) Because of the healing power of the medicine taken.D) Because of the excellent medical skills of the doctors.5. What does the author mean by saying that for this reason, all properly designed drug trials are double blind (in the last paragraph)?A) The physician and the patient are both ignorant of the healing power of the medicine.B) The physician doesn't know whether the given pill is real or fake.C) The patient doesn't know whether the given pill is real or fake.D) Neither the physician nor the patient knows whether the given pill is real or fake.Key:ABCADFord's Assembly LineWhen it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars-one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses.Back in the early 1900's, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line." Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened:"The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person."Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It wasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation, everything from toasters to perfumes are made on assembly lines.1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Henry Ford influenced our lives. B) Henry Ford influenced all manufacturing.C) Henry Ford influenced the manufacture of cars. D) Henry Ford influenced historians.2. The writer mentioned "slaughterhouses" because these were the places in whichA) Ford's assembly line originated. B) he made cars.C) he innovated the assembly line. D) he innovated the disassembly line.3. A magneto is a technical term forA) an automobile. B) an engine.C) a part of an automobile engine. D) an automobile engine.4. The phrase "turning out " in the last paragraph can best be replaced byA) producing. B) appeasing. C) assembling. D) fixing.5. It didn't take long for Henry FordA) to turn out a few hundred cars a year. B) to turn out a few thousand cars a year.C) to reduce the price of his cars to $260.D) to cut the production of his cars by 50%.KEY:DACACThe Gene IndustryMajor companies are already in pursuit of commercial applications of the new biology. They dream of placing enzymes in the automobile to monitor exhaust and send data on pollution to a microprocessor that will then adjust the engine. They speak of what the New York Times calls "metal-hungry microbes that might be used to mine valuable trace metal from ocean water". They have already demanded and won the right to patent new lifeforms.Nervous critics, including many scientists, worry that there is corporate, national, international, and inter-scientific rivalry in the entire biotechnological field. They create images not of oil spills, but of "microbe spills" that could spread disease and destroy entire populations. The creation and accidental release of extremely poisonous microbes, however, is only one cause for alarm. Completely rational and respectable scientists are talking about possibilities that stagger the imagination.Should we breed people with cow-with stomachs so they can digest grass and hay, thereby relieving the food problem by modifying us to eat lower down on the food chain? Should we biologically alter workers to fit the job requirement, for example, creating pilots with faster reaction times or assembly-line workers designed to do our monotonous work for us? Should we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a "super-race"? (Hitler tried this, but without the genetic weaponry that may soon issue from our laboratories.) Should we produce soldiers to do our fighting? Should we use geneticforecasting to pre-eliminate "unfit" babies? Should we grow reserve organs for ourselves, each of us having, as it were, a "savings bank" full of spare kidney, livers, or hands?Wild as these notions may sound, every one has its advocates (and opposers) in the scientific community as well as its striking commercial application. As two critics of genetic engineering, Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard, state in their book Who Should Play God? , "Broad scale genetic engineering will probably be introduced to America much the same way as assembly lines automobiles, vaccines, computers and all the other technologies. As each new genetic advance becomes commercially practical, a new consumer need will be exploited and a market for the new technology will be created."1. According to the passage, the exhaust from a car engine could probably be checked byA) using metal-hungry microbes. B) making use of enzymes.C) adjusting the engine. D) patenting new life forms.2. According to the passage, which of the following would worry the critics the most?A) The unanticipated explosion of population. B) The creation of biological solar cells.C) The accidental spill of oil. D) The unexpected release of destructive microbes.3. Which of the following notions is NOT mentioned?A) Developing a "savings bank" of one's organs. B) Breeding soldiers for a war.C) Producing people with cow-like stomachs. D) Using genetic forecasting to cure diseases.4. According to the passage, Hitler attempted toA) change the pilots biologically to win the war.B) develop genetic farming for food supply.C) kill the people he thought of as inferior.D) encourage the development of genetic weapons for the war.5. What does Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard's statement imply?A) the commercial applications of genetic engineering are inevitable.B) America will depend on other countries for biological progress.C) Americans are proud of their computers, automobiles and genetic technologies.D) The potential application of each new genetic advance should be controlled.KEYS: BDDCATaxi RidingIn a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question after watching the "Taxicab Confessions," a series of documentaries in which hidden cameras record the secrets of unsuspecting taxi riders. I found the results varied.One morning I got into three different taxis and announced: "Well, it's my first day back in New York in seven years. I've been in prison." Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. "Yeah, I shot a man in Reno," I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, so I could say casually," Just to watch him die." But nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver: "Reno? That is in Nevada?"Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I'd just been fired. "This is America," a Haitian driver said. "One door is closed. Another is open." He argued against my plan to burn down my boss's house: "If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job." A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. "Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don't worry. Take a new job."One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the work "BANK" on it, I tried hailing a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy-Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb assistance I received."Is anyone following us?""No," said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me."Let's go across the park," I said. "I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000.""$25,000?" he asked."Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?""No, man, I work 8 hours and I don't make almost $70. If I can do that, I do it too."As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank."Hey, there's another bank," I said, "could you wait here a minute while I go inside?""No, I can't wait. Pay me now." His reluctance may have had something to do with money -taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low -but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can't expect unconditional support.1. From the Ghanaian driver's response, we can infer thatA) he was indifferent to the killing. B) he was afraid of the author.C) he looked down upon the author. D) he thought the author was crazy.2. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?A) Because he didn't want to help the author get over his career crisis.B) Because he wanted to go home and relax.C) Because it was far away from his home.D) Because he suspected that the author was going to commit suicide.3. What is author's interpretation of the driver's reluctance "to wait outside the Chemical bank"?A) The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.B) The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.C) The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.D) The driver wanted to go home and relax.4. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?A) They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.B) They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.C) They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.D) They work only for money.5. What does the passage mainly discuss?A) How to make taxi riders comfortable. B) How to deal with taxi riders.C) The attitudes of taxi drivers towards the taxi riders having personal crises.D) The attitudes of taxi drivers towards violent criminals.KEYS:ADBCCMom's Traffic AccidentsThe bicycling craze came in when were just about the right age to enjoy it. At first even "safety" bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride, and they had to have tricycles. My mother had (I believe) the first female tricycle in Cambridge; and I had a little one, and we used to go out for family rides, all together; my fatherin front on a bicycle, and my poor brother Charles standing miserable on the bar behind my mother. I found it very hard work, pounding away on my hard tyres; a glorious, but not a pleasurable pastime.Then, one day at lunch, my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre, filled up with air, and he thought it might be a success. And soon after that everyone had bicycles, ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing, and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers, riding along in the park, in straw boater hats.My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often, for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises on her legs. But she never complained, and always kept these mishaps to herself. However, the great Mrs. Phillips, our cook, always knew all about them; as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened. She used to draw us into the servants' hall to tell us privately. "Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday; she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist. But don't let her know I told you. " So we never dared say anything. Similar little accidents used to occur when, at the age of nearly seventy, she insisted on learning to drive a car. She never mastered the art of reversing, and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver. Mrs. Phillips used then to tell us: "Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday; but it wasn't much hurt "; or " A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road; but she said she didn't know what the white line on the road meant, so he explained and let her go on. " Mrs. Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service command, for the stories were always true enough.1.Women did not ride bicycles at first becauseA) they demanded too much hard work. B) they were considered unsafe and unladylike.C) tricycles were more enjoyable. D) tricycles could carry young children as well.2. How did the writer feel about tricycles?A) They were very hard to ride. B) They were safer and more convenient for women.C) They were not as fast as bicycles. D) They were not proper for women to ride.3.Cyclying became popular whenA) the writer's father popularized it. B) air-filled tyres began to be used.C) aristocratic people started enjoying it. D) newspapers had pictures of cyclists.4.The writer admires Mrs. Phillips becauseA) she was an excellent cook. B) she was in command of all the servants.C) she could keep secrets. D) she knew everything that went on.5. The writer's mother always had car accident later becauseA) she could not control the car. B) she was very old then.C) she did not understand the road system. D) she behaved arrogantly.Key: BABDACommon Problems, Common SolutionsThe chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago-and decided it's not for you.The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers-there are, after all about 60 millions of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers-or you wouldn't be reading this.And those three things make you incredibly important today.Because they mean that yours is the voice-not the smoker's and not the anti-smoker's-that will determine how much of society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. One prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now speeds 28 cents of every publicly-contributed dollar on "education"(much of it in anti-smoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research.There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, to give them their due, helped to make us all more keenly aware of choice.But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society's interests better by working together in mutual accommodation.Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions, can.1. What does the word "wall" used in the passage mean?A) Anti-smoking propaganda.B) Diseases striking nonsmokers as well as smokers.C) Rules and regulations that prohibit smokingD) Separation of smokers from nonsmokers.2. In paragraph 4, "you" refers toA) smokers B) non-smokers C) anti-smokers D) smokers who have quitted smoking3. It is evident that the author is not in favor ofA) building a wall between smokers and nonsmokersB) doing scientific research at the expense of one's healthC) bringing smokers and nonsmokers togetherD) providing accommodation for smokers.4. As is suggested, the common solution to the common problem isA) To separate people from peopleB) To work together in mutual accommodationC) To make us more keenly aware of choiceD) To serve society's interests better.5. According to the passage, the writer looks upon the anti-smoking wall-builder's actionsA) optimistically B) pessimistically C) unconcernedly D) skepticallykey:DDABDHealth Care ReformThis fall the country will be talking health care again-or at least should be talking about it-as Congress moves to change the principles on which Medicare and Medicaid were established 30 years ago. A writer with a taste for irony could scarcely conceive a better plot, and as one of those who wrote the Clinton plan, I confess it strikes me as more than ironic.Two years ago, Republicans were denouncing the secrecy surrounding the President's health care task force. This summer, Republicans have been meeting "behind closed doors" on a Medicare proposal scheduled to be released later this month, only a few weeks before Congress votes on it, thereby avoiding independent analysis of the costs, mobilization by opponents and other inconvenient aspects of a long national debate. Two years ago, the Republicans rang alarms about the Clinton plan's emphasis on managed care. Now the Republicans' own plans for Medicare and Medicaid emphasize managed care.But superficial similarities are deceiving. The reform plans of 1993 generally aimed to extend rights to health coverage and health care; The Republican proposals this year would retract rights that already exist. The debate two years ago reflected a widespread belief that the health care system needed reform. The Republicans, like many in the business world, now begin with the happy thought that the system is reforming itself and that Government needs to be more like the private sector.The health care system is certainly going through profound change. Health maintenance organizations and other forms of managed care are expanding rapidly. As managed care grows, demand for hospital care shrinks. Hospitals are merging, closing beds and cutting jobs; some new buildings stand vacant. The incomes of specialists in some areas are dropping, and primary-care practitioners are in demand. Once stubbornly independent physicians are selling their practices to hospitals and insurers or taking a fixed payment per enrolled patient and accepting the discipline of the corporation.1. What is the writer's attitude towards the Congress's move to change the principles on which Medicare and Medicaid were established 30 years ago?A) Ironic B) Humorous. C) Sympathetic D) Critical.2. The phrase "behind closed doors" in the second paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following?A) At home B) In secret C) In a room secure from attack D) In prison3. Republicans have been holding meetings "behind closed doors" in order toA) mobilize support from their opponents.B) Prepare for the upcoming national debate.C) Release their proposals without running into any troubleD) Discuss the Clinton plan in a detailed way.4. What are the Republican proposals aimed at?A) Extending rights to health coverage and health care.B) Providing every American with free medical treatmentC) Depriving many people of their rights to free medical treatmentD) Withdrawing rights that have existed for a long time5. Which of the following is NOT true of the development of managed care?A) Nurses are in great demand B) Physicians are no longer independentC) Some new buildings are vacant D) Demand for hospital care is on the decrease.。

这里要首先来给大家解释一下这句话的含义：(1) 两头围堵：所谓的两头围堵也就是阅读理解备考的两个方向一方面，就是熟悉考试中阅读理解题型所必须要掌握的技巧—查读法。
查读法不仅仅是要会用，还要运用熟练，要在考试紧迫的时间中运用自如，才能够顺利的面对职称英语考试。
另一方面，就是要熟悉我们给大家的准备的冲刺点题。
我们的冲刺点题历年来都会比较准确的押中最后考试中出现的阅读理解文章，所以这部分一定要足够重视，不仅仅熟悉题目，更是要熟悉文章。
当然，这部分内容，我们就会在下节课来给大家详细的讲解了。
(2) 重点攻防：这个也要从两方面理解，一方面是攻，一方面是防。
攻，不用说，就是做好考试的准备，也就是我们说的围堵的两个方面，做好最充足的准备去面对职称英语考试。
防，这里也是要做好准备，考试中有时候会遇到时间紧，题目难度大。
也可能会出现押中的文章有一些变化，那么我们就要对这种变化做好准备, 正确在这种情况下多拿一些分数。
这个我们也会仔细的给大家的讲解，在今天的课程中，我们就会在最后教给大家如何在时间不够，或者是题目实在不会的情况下，怎么去尽量的蒙对题目。

2013年职称英语理工类A、B、C级密卷名师押题When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach当我们的眼睛服务我们的胃Our senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world；they’re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who’ve just eaten.我们的感官不只是提供世界上正在发生的事情一个严格的看法；他们在我的头上有什么影响。
一项新的研究发现，饥饿的人看到食品相关的词比那些刚刚吃过的人更清楚。
Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on inside our head affects our senses．For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter．Rémi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens．Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-1evel thinking processes get involved.心理学家们已经知道了几十年，怎么在我们的头会影响我们的感觉。

第一篇Energy and Public LandsThe United States boasts substantial energy resources. Federal lands provide a good deal of US energy production ；the US Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing (租赁)，both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf. Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.In 2000，32 percent of US oil，35 percent of natural gas, and 37 percent of coal were produced from federal lands, representing 20，000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases. Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.Revenues from federal oil, gas, and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State governments. In 1999, for example，$553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury, and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues，of which 50 percent were paid to State governments. Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery. Each year, federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines, rail systems，pipelines, and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production, though the amount is still significant。

It draws on data that came from NASA’s top planet-hunting telescope.A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service. Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000 stars. Its data 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 e xist as a liquid.The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from studying more than 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 to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the distant past). Using tighter limits, the researchers estimate that 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 change for life.16. The Kepler space telescope has been in service for 15 years.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17. The main task of the Kepler space telescope is to find out planets with similar conditions to Earth’s.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned18.

Anyone hoping to pedal to work there has to contend with steep streets like Canton Avenue, which famously climbs at a nearly 40-degree angle. As a result, some residents avoid biking altogether.2 But University of Pittsburgh graduate Micah Toll, 23, and a few friends recently launched an invention that they hope will increase the city’s pedal power. An electric bike called a Pulse PEVO. A super-strong battery powers daunting (令人却步的) hills. Toll hopes it will persuade people in Pittsburgh and elsewhere to get out of their cars and onto bikes.3 If it sound like Toll has a knack (窍门) for fixing problems, that’s because he does. In high school, he designed a new type of construction beam. It weighs no more than a feather pillow but can be used to build sturdy (坚固的) homes for refugees fleeing war or natural disaster. For his work, Toll was invited to attend the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) —twice, in 2006 and 2007. The annual competition for young researchers is a program of Society for Science & the Public (that’s the parent organization of Science News for Kids). Toll says that when it comes to science, he keeps it simple: “You see a problem and say, ‘How could I solve that?’”4 He’s not the only one to take that approach. Many young researchers get their start by trying to solve a problem or fulfill a need in their own communities. When students dedicate themselves to finding a solution that may benefit their community, “a passion is ignited (点燃) ,” says Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation, which sponsors Intel ISEF. “Finding that passion and fostering it can be the key to many students’ future success.” She says.23. Paragraph 1 ___E____24. Paragraph 2 ___D____ A. Intel International Science and Engineering FairB. The enthusiasm for solving problemsC. The young researchers’ passionD. An invention increasing pedal powerE. Why people avoid biking in PittsburghF. The cause of national disaster25. Paragraph 3 ___B____26. Paragraph 4 ___C____27.A Pulse PEVO is powered with ___E____28.T oll hopes his Pulse PEVO will encourage people to ___B____29.A new construction beam invented by Toll weighs like ___C____30.Many young researchers are finding solutions to problems that may ___F____A. a nearly 40-degree angleB. get on bikesC. a feather pillowD. fix more problemsE. a super-strong batteryF. benefit their community阅读理解：第一篇：Approaches to Understanding IntelligencesIt pays to be smart, but we are not all smart in the same way. You may be a talented musician, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is different.Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities. Psychologists have two different views on intelligence. Some believe there is one general intelligence. Others believe there are many different intelligences.Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measuredwith IQ tests. These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests. They do well on tests using words, numbers or pictures. They do well on individual or group tests, and written or oral tests. Those who do poorly on one test, do the same on all tests.Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence. The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving. The brain waves of people with high intelligence show a quicker reaction. Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.Howard Gardner, a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education, has four children. He believes that all children are different and shouldn’t be tested by one intelligence test. Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists, he thinks that the human mind has different intelligences. These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life. Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences. Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.Gardner says that his theory is based on biology. For example, when one part of the brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work. People who cannot talk because of brain damage can still sing. So, there is not just one intelligence to lose. Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence: linguistic, mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, body-kinesthetic (身体动觉的), andnaturalistic.36. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to understand intelligence.B. The importance of intelligence.C. The development of intelligence tests.D. How to become intelligent.37. Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence?A. Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.B. People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests.C. Intelligent people do not do well on group tests.D. Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.38. Gardner believes thatA. children have different intelligencesB. all children are alike.C. children should take one intelligence test.D. there is no general intelligence.39. According to Gardner, schools shouldA. promote development of all intelligences.B. test students’ IQs.C. train students who do poorly on tests.D. focus on finding the most intelligent students.40. Gardner thinks that his theory has aA. musical foundation.B. intrapersonal foundation.C. linguistic foundation.D. biological foundation.第二篇：The Magic of SoundMusic is one of the most beautiful forms of artistic expressions ever invented. In movies and plays, music has an added function1: it not only moves people but also can shock people. Is it true that an ordinary musical instrument can be so powerful?Our eardrums can withstand sound within 20 t0 80 decibels. Once sound exceeds this limit2, even beautiful music will become ear-splitting noise3 and harm health. A strong blast of high sound can twist and break a solid iron sheet. High sound of 150 decibels can kill a healthy rat.The noise from a plane’s engine is over 140 decibels.However,the sound of a flute is at most a few decibels. Therefore, the sound of ordinary musical instruments cannot harm your health. It has been proven that people who have worked in an environment with a high sound intensity for a long time suffer varying degrees of heart disease or altered brain waves.In movies, sometimes the hero can produce a sound that ordinary people can't hear and only those who have the same ability can feel. In nature, there is actually sound that is beyond our hearing. In physics, the sound that exceeds 20,000 Hz is called ultrasonic. Dolphins, whales and bats can make such high—frequency sound. It does no harm to health.Sound less than 20Hz is called infrasonic waves. When we move, the air will vibrate. The vibration of air can produce infrasonic waves. As the frequency of infrasonic waves is close to that of people's internal organs4, infrasonic wave may cause resonance in human bodies. As a result, people's vision may weaken and internal organs may rupture. However, whether an infrasonic wave can be used as a weapon depends on its intensity5.If its intensity is very low,it won't damage intemal organs or a person's Health. If the intensity of infrasonic wave exceeds l60 decibels, it is extremely harmful. When wind blows at a force of 3 or 4 over the sea6,it willproduce infrasonic waves of several decibels. Only typhoons can produce infrasonic waves of over l00 decibels. At present, scientists can only produce infrasonic weapons in the lab with the help of advanced scientific tools and powerful electric power.36. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The power of music.B. The harms of noises.C. The magic of sound.D. The discovery of infrasonic waves.37. What does the author say about music?A. It may be harmful to people’s health.B. It always cheers people up.C. It is very often difficult to understand.D. It sounds better when it is loud enough.38. It is true that the soundA. of nature is the most beautiful.B. over 80 decibels is harmful to people.C. of high intensity benefits animals.D. in movies is pleasing to the ear.39. An ultrasonic soundA. is very loud.B. does harm to people’s health.C. cannot be heard by people.D. is produced by the hero in movies.40. It can be found from the last paragraph that infrasonic wavesA. are harmless to people’s health.B. exist in people’ internal organs.C. can be used as deadly weapons.D. can improve eyesight.第三篇：Compact DisksIf someone says to you your music CDs don't really hold any music on them, and they only have numbers recorded on them, you may not believe it. In fact, he is right in that sound is actually recorded onto the CDs as special numbers — a digital code. The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps on a long spiral track almost five kilometers long. These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns wide.A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns. The light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces back. This lets the CD player turn the reflected light back into the original code. This means you can hear the original code as music.Digital codes are used with many technologies. E-mail needs these kinds of code numbers. Space probes communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes. Bar codes are read as digital codes in computer systems. Digital communications with cell phones need digital codes. Weather radios also tune in to specific signals using these codes.There are many types of compact disks. One format is called CD-RWs. They can be recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on) as you would do with a floppy disk. Another format is the CD-ROM. The technology for recording on these disks is different from other CDs. These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear. The clear and dark spots are the digital code. CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc -- Read only Memory. This disk is like a "super" floppy disk that can hold lots of information. One CD-ROM can hold the same amount of data as 500 floppy disks. Information is permanently recorded onto it. Computer games and other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs.CDs were first sold to the public in 1982. These CDs still play well and soundfine. Current CDs are expected to last between 70 to 200 years. Of course, you can make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them.Science keeps on developing. It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music recording. In the meantime, there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy listening to your favorite music on CDs and playing your favorite computer games on CD-ROMs.41. Music is recorded onto CDs asA. laser beams.B. digital codes.C. musical notes.D. special sounds.42. E-mail is mentioned in the third paragraph to showA. the variety of digital communications.B. the development of new technologies.C. the useless of digital codes.D. the relationship between communication and technology.43. One of the differences between CD-RWs and CD-ROMs isA. CD-ROMs can be used for a longer time.B. CD-ROMs cannot be rewritten on.C. CD-RWs hold more information.D. CD-RWs are merely used for music recording.44. CDs can last a long time ifA. they are seldom used.B. they play well and sound fine.C. their users take good care of them.D. they are developed with new technology.45. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. CD-ROMs are more expensive than other CDs.B. new technology for music recording is being developed.C. the author likes listening to music.D. floppy dislike are no longer in use.补全短文：Do You Have a Sense of Humor?Humor and laughter are good for us.
