2020年职称英语理工类C级补全短文练习题（4）A Memory Drug？It'sdifficult to imagine many things that people would welcome more than a memory-enhancing drug.____1____ Furthermore，such a drug could help people remember past experiences more clearly and help us acquire new information more easily for school and at work.As scientists learn more about memory，we are closing in on this tantalizing goal.1Some of the most exciting evidence comes from researchthat has built on earlier findings linking LTP2 and memory to identify a gene that improves memory in mice.____2____ Mice bred to have extra copies of this gene showed more activityin their NMDA receptors，more LTP，and improved performanceon several different memory tasks—learning a spatial layout3，recognizing familiar objects，and recalling a fear-inducing shock.If these basic insights about genes，LTP，and thesynaptic basis of memory can be translated to people—andthat remains to be seen—they could pave the way for memory-enhancing treatments.____3____ As exciting as this may sound，it also raises troubling issues.Consider the potential educational implications of memory-enhancing drugs.If memory enhancers were available，children who used them might beable to acquire and retain extraordinary amounts of information，allowing them to progress far more rapidly in school than they could otherwise.How well could the brain handle such an onslaught of information？ What happens to children who don't have access to the latest memory enhancers？Are they left behind in school—and as a result handicapped later in life？____4____ Imagine that you are applying for a job that requires a good memory，such as a manager at a technology company or a sales position that requires remembering customers' names as well as the attributes of different products and services.Would you take a memory-enhancing drug to increase your chances of landing the position？ Would people who felt uncomfortable taking such a drug find themselves cut out of lucrative career opportunities？Memory drugs might also help take the sting out of disturbing memories that we wish we could forget but can't.4 The 2004 hit movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind told the story of a young man seeking just such freedom from the painful memories of a romantic breakup.As you will see in the section on persistence later in the chapter，emotionally arousing events often create intrusive memories，and researchers have already muted emotional memories with drugs that block the action of key hormones.Should emergency workers who must confront horrifying accident scenes that can burden them with persisting memories be provided with such drugs？ Should such drugs be given to rape victims who can't forget the trauma？ Memory drugs might provide some relief to such individuals.But could they also interfere with an individual's ability to assimilate and come to terms with a difficult experience？5 ____5____练习：A.Like steroids for bulking up the muscles，these drugs would bulk up memory.B.A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.C.What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace？D.We may find ourselves struggling with these kinds of questions in the not-too-distant future.E.There is a pill that you could take every day to allow you to remember everything.F.The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor，which plays an important role in long-term memoryby helping to initiate LTP.答案与题解：1.B依据上一句的“很难想象一种提升人们记忆力的药会受到人们吹捧”；下面应该对这个现象做出解释，即这种药物有什么疗效；而后一句的Furthermore这个指示词起到了递进的作用，进一步说明这种药物的益处。

It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten.__________(46)Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin.__________(47) The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home, a "reserve", for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked (重新准备) with the robin's food. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand.Is all this concern a waste of human effort?__________(48) Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?In the earth's long, long past hundreds of kinds ofcreatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time.__________(49) This is nature's proven method of operation.The rule of selection--"the survival of the fittest"--is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most.__________ (50) You may take it as another rule that when, at last, human beings show signs of dying out, no other creature will extend a paw (爪) to postpone our departure. On the contrary, we will be hurried out.Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins.I leave you to judge whether we should try to do anything about it.A Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast (比…长久) man, for they seem even more adaptable.B Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early.C Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made.D Both represent orders in the classification of life.E Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out?F These are the only black robins left in the world.答案 1.

Obesity Causes Global WarmingThe list of ills attributable to obesity keeps growing: Last week, obese people were accused of causing global warming.This conclusion comes from Sheldon Jacobson of the University of Illinois, US, and a doctoral student, Laura McLay. Their study calculates how much extra gasoline is needed to haul fat Americans around. The answer, they say, is a billion gallons of gas per year. __________ (46)There has been calls for taxes on junk food in recent years. __________ (47) "We tax cigarettes partly because of their health cost," Schmidt said. "Similarly, leading a lazy lifestyle will end up costing taxpayers more."US political scientist Erie Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments. But such claims are getting attention.At the US Obesity Society's annual meeting, one person correlated obesity with car accident deaths, and another correlated obesity with suicides. __________ (48) "The funny thing was that everyone took it seriously," Oliver said.In a 1960s study, children were shown drawings of childrenwith disabilities and without them, and a drawing of an obese child. They were asked which they would want for a friend. __________ (49)Three researchers recently repeated the study using college students. Once again, almost no one,not even obese people, liked the obese person. "Obesity was stigmatized," the researchers said.But, researchers say, getting thin is not like quitting smoking. People struggle to stop smoking, and, in the end, many succeed. Obesity is different. But, not because obese people don't care.__________ (50) Genes also play a part.第46题__________A.A meager diet may keep you thin.B.It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.C.The obese child was picked last. economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people's cars.E.Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.F.No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship.第47题__________A.A meager diet may keep you thin.B.It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.C.The obese child was picked last. economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people's cars.E.Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.F.No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect第48题__________A.A meager diet may keep you thin.B.It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.C.The obese child was picked last. economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people's cars.E.Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.F.No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship.第49题__________A.A meager diet may keep you thin.B.It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.C.The obese child was picked last. economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people's cars.E.Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.F.No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship.第50题__________A.A meager diet may keep you thin.B.It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.C.The obese child was picked last. economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people's cars.E.Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.F.No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect46.答案：B解析：空格前有一个数字“a b illion gallons of gas per year”(每年一亿加仑汽油)，因此空格处填入对这个数字的诠释较为合适。
2019年职称英语考试理工类C级补全短文冲刺试题4
2019年职称英语考试理工类C级补全短文冲刺试题4 How to Jump Queue FuryIf you find yourself waiting in a long queue at anairport or bus terminus this holiday, will you try to analyze what it is about queuing that makes you angry? Or will you just get angry with the nearest official?Professor Richard Larson, an electrical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, hates queuing but rather than tear his hair out, he decided to study the subject. 46. He cites an experiment at Houston airport where passengers had to walk for one minute from the plane to the baggage reclaim and then wait a further seven minutes to collect their luggage. Complaints were frequent, especially from those who had spent seven minutes watching passengers with just hand baggage get out immediately.The airport authorities decided to lengthen the walk from the aircraft, so that instead of a one-minute fast walk, the passengers spent six minutes walking 47 The extra walk extended the delay by five minutes for those carrying only hand baggage, but passenger complaints dropped almost to zero.The reason? Larson suggests that it all has to do with what he calls “social justice”. If people see others taking a short cut, they will find the wait unbearable. 48Another aspect Larson studied was the observation that people get more fed up if they are not told what is going on. 49But even knowing how long we have to wait isn't the whole answer. We must also believe that everything is being done to minimize our delay. Larson cites the example of two neighboring American banks. One was highly computerized and served a customer, on average, every 30 seconds.50. But because the tellers at the second bank looked extremely busy, customers believed the service was faster and manytransferred their accounts to the slower bank. Ultimately, the latter had to introduce time-wasting ways of appearing more dynamic.A So in the case of the airport, it was preferable to delay everyone.B The other bank was less automated and took twice as long.C When they finally arrived at the baggage reclaim, the delay was then only two minutes.D His first finding, which backs up earlier work at the US National Science Foundation, was that the degree of annoyance was not directly related to the time.E It's unbearable for the airport to delay everyone.F Passengers told that there will be a half-hour delay are less unhappy than those left waiting even twenty minutes without an explanation.答案：46 D 47 C 48 A 49 F 50 B。

The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14. (1)"You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating," she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich! "Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. (2) "I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young, ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world. " For Robinson, farming doesn't offer much "in terms of money or lifestyle. " Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature. "Farming is a big political issue in the UK. (3) The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern spells (带来) hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. (4) "I started going to Farmers' Markets in direct defiance (蔑视) of the big supermarkets. (5) It's terrible," said Londoner Michael Samson.A．But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.B．While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.C．While confident they will succeed, she lists farming's many challenges.D．Young people prefer to live in cities.E．I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything—what exactly DO they put on our apples to make them so big and red?F．"Buy British" campaigns urge (鼓励) consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.（分数：25.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）解析：The RoadrunnerThe roadrunner (走雀) lives in the desert zone of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. (1) People gave it its name because they usually see it running across a road, but of course, it spends more time among the plants of the desert than it does on roads.The roadrunner is quite a large bird—about 45 centimeters long and 25 centimeters high. (2) It holds its head straight out in front and its tail sticks straight out in back. It takes long steps and can run 30 kilometers an hour.It eats an amazing variety of food. Although it eats plants once in a while, it is mostly a meat eater. Most of its diet is insects, but it also catches birds, mice, and other small animals. It is even brave enough to catch snakes and black widow spiders (蛛).(3) When he finds one, he gives her presents—a snake to eat or a tiny branch of a tree to use in building a nest. Then they build their nest, the female lays eggs, and they raise their young.(4) One couple in Arizona feeds a pair of roadrunners that come once at a time every day and makea noise outside the window. If someone doesn't give the bird a piece of hamburger immediately, the bird knocks on the window with its beak (喙). Roadrunners are not shy.(5) They will stand on a chair or table and watch television, and they seem really interested in what is happening on the program.A．Roadrunners can also become friendly with people.B．People laugh when it runs because it looks so funny.C．It is a bird, but it can only fly about as much as a chicken can.D．In early spring, the bird doesn't eat anything.E．Another couple feeds a pair of roadrunners that go right into the house.F．In the spring, a male roadrunner begins looking for a female as a mate.（分数：25.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）解析：Caribbean IslandsWhat would you see if you took a cruise to the Caribbean Islands? Palm trees and coconuts (椰子)? White beaches and clear, blue ocean? Colorful corals (珊瑚) and even more colorful fishes and birds?You bet. There are thousands of islands in the Caribbean Sea. They are famous for their warm, tropical climate and great natural beauty.The Caribbean Islands form a chain that separates the Caribbean Sea from the rest of the Atlantic Ocean. (1) Many of the islands were formed by the eruption (爆发) of ancient volcanoes (火山). Others are low-lying coral islands that gradually rose from the ocean.The Caribbean Islands are known by several names. (2) The explorer Christopher Columbus called the islands the Indies in 1492 because he thought he was near the coast of India. Later, Spain and France called the islands the Antilles.There are four large islands in the Caribbean Sea. (3) These four islands are often called the Greater Antilles. Together, they account for about 90 per cent of the land area of the Caribbean Islands.The rest of the Caribbean Islands are much smaller. (4) You can see why pirates such as the famous Blackbeard sailed these waters. There are countless small islands to bury treasure or hide on.The weather of the Caribbean Sea is almost always warm and sunny. Sandy beaches line the coasts of many islands.

Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. (1) According to a recent U.S. census (人口普查), 25 per cent of all households in the U.S. are made up of just one person. This is a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago.The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely. (2) The majority of these people have chosen to live alone. They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.It's now socially acceptable, even fashionable, to live alone. As people get better jobs and become financially independent, it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household. (3) However, people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it. "Living alone is a luxury," says Nina Hagiwara, 38. "Once you do it, you can't ever go back to living with others. " David C'Debaca, 46, agrees. (4) Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please. (5) The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.A．There's more pressure to get married nowadays.B．The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.C．However, even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.D．It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.E．In fact, a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U.S. are under the age of 35.

职称英语理工类C级阅读理解复习资料(1)Electric Backpack1. Backpacks(背包) are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don’t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.2. Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia(费城[美国宾夕法尼亚州东南部港市]) and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole(美国马萨诸塞州的一个渔村，也是许多重要研究机构所在地), Mass(Massachusetts 的缩写：马萨诸塞州，美国东北部的一个州))have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS)(全球定位系统) receivers(接收机), night-vision goggles(夜视镜), and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work.. The backpack’s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the a mount of a wearer’s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept. 9 Science6.3. The backpack’s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the we arer’s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical(垂直的) movements of the pack to rotary (旋转的)motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7.4 watts(瓦(特)).4. Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits(步态，步法) in response to the pack’s oscillations(摆动) so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize(商业化) both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.5. The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers(登山运动员), and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren’t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!Questions:1. Backpacks are convenient because___________.A) They can be very largeB) They can hold as many things as you want to carry.C) Your hands are freed to do other things.D) You do not have to carry things with you.2.

In contrast, there are almost no local or Arab tourists through nearby disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.Popular activities in the desert environment include camping under the stars, riding Arab horses, and rock-climbing amongst the massive rock formations. Jebal Rum (Jebal means mountain) is 1,574 metres above sea level. ___________47 But Jordan is not simply a desert environment-----it also contains the area which is the lowest point to the face of the Earth----the incredible Dead Sea, popular with tourists for swimming. _______48 Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are landlocked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate, leaving behind a dense, rich cocktail(混合的) of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products. Once again, tourists benefit and can participate in water spa treatments and water therapies.The Dead Sea is located in the syro-African Rift, a 4,000-mile fault line in the Earth’s crust. The lowest point of dry land on Earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1,300 feet below sea level. Because the lake is at the lowest point, this means that water does not drain from it. ______49 Figures for the Dead Sea’s salinity(盐度)today range from 25% to 35%.But the greatest tourist attraction is the incredible city of Petra.______50 It is a vast unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago, turing it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome.

Dung to DeathFields across Europe are contaminated with dangerous levels of the antibiotics given to farm animals. The drugs, which are in manure sprayed onto fields as fertilizers, could be getting into our food and water, helping to create a n e w generation of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs”.The warning comes from a researcher in Switzerland w h o looked at levels of the drugs in farm slurry. 46 .S o m e 20,000 tons of antibiotics are used in the European Union and the U S each year. Mor ethan half are given to farm-animals to prevent disease and promote growth. 47 .Most researchers assumed that humans b ecome infected with the resistant strains by eating contaminatedmeat. But far more of the drugs end up in manure than in meat products, says Stephen Mueller of the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology in Dubendorf. 48 .With millions of tons of animals manure spread onto fields of crops such as wheat and barley each year, this pathway seems an equally likely routefor spreading resistance, he said. The drugs contaminate the crops, which are then eaten. 49.Mueller is particularly concerned about a group of antibiotics called sulphonamides. 50 . His analysis found that Swiss farm manure contains a high percentage of sulphonamides; each hectare of field could be contaminated with up to 1 kilogram of the drugs. This concentration is high enough totrigger the development of resistance a m o n g bacteria. But vets are not treating the issue seriously.There is growing concern at the extent to which drugs, including antibiotics, are polluting the environment.M a n y drugs given to humans are also excreted unchanged and are not broken d o w n by conventional sewage treatment.第 5 部分：补全短文46. E 本句中包含h e 这个代词，故上文中必定有它的先行词，his findings 又表明此人应该是从事科研工作的，句中又提到Switzerland ，考虑多种因素，填入E是正确的。
